Isis Ishtar sat at her desk with her quill's end hovering about her lips as she thought through her letter. She had started to sense things from Japan and was very uncertain as what to do about it, so decided to write home. The only problem was, she didn't know how to explain it! The necklace had stopped working for her and she had started to sense its presence once again. She dipped her quill in her black ink bottle and wrote some more, how was she going to get the necklace back? And neither Marik nor Odeon had really grasped the point of owl post and she just hoped she could also find a way to get the necklace to her.

There was a knock on the door to Isis' office and she quickly looked up from her letter. Who would come visit her at this late hour, surely not Ryou or Joey? "Come in," she said as the door opened slowly allowing the elderly headmaster entrance to her office. "What brings you here Professor Dumbledore?"

"I was wondering if you were having difficulties," he explained as he took the indicated seat across from her. Isis tried and failed to pick up the papers on her desk so just left them.

"What do you mean 'difficulties'?" he surely didn't know about the millennium items, Ryou would have told her. Anyway, what else would she have difficulties with?

"I see you are writing to your family, yes?" she nodded. "I was wondering, since you seem to write to them so much and there is magical activity in Domino, would you like them to come and stay here with you?" Isis stared at him and would have her mouth drop open in shock, but remembered her manners and overcame it. She blinked…and blinked again.

"You mean…come live here for the year?" she asked him as he nodded. "Oh Professor, that would be wonderful!" she exclaimed and couldn't help but run up and hug him. Dumbledore didn't expect that and sent the young woman an amused smile while she muttered her apology.

"Well you should finish your letter then," Dumbledore turned to leave, but looked back towards her. "Do get some sleep, there are classes tomorrow…"and he left. Isis nodded to the empty room and finished up her letter. 'I'll send this tomorrow,' she thought as she left for her sleeping chambers.

Ryou woke from his sleep earlier than the rest of the boys in his dormitories. When he opened his eyes he almost screamed at seeing another person sitting on his bed but then noticed it was his Yami. Bakura looked deep in though and Ryou carefully sat up, but the ex-thief still noticed him. "Good morning, Ryou," he said as the boy sat in a comfortable position. "What are you doing up so early?"

"I could ask you the same thing. I just woke up on my own, now what's your story?" he asked Bakura with a curious glance.

"Something is wrong," he stated. "It's the Pharaoh…I feel something is happening back in Japan that we aren't aware of, and could be very dangerous. I can't shake it off and it feels so wrong." Bakura stared at the ground as he spoke surprising the boy who had never seen his Yami look this serious before. The ex-thief was always either A, sadistic B, masochistic C, joking or D, begging for sleep in his soul room or to be let out. There was a definite difference in the spirit's behavior.

"I'm sure everything will turn out fine in the end…it always does," Ryou attempted to comfort the millennia year old spirit. Bakura just turned to him and raised his eyebrow.

"Correction, everything used to turn out fine. Ever since the Pharaoh left his weird 'hero phase' nothing has happened. No, I don't believe it will turn out too fine by the end of this. Something is definitely wrong, and I want to know what it-," Bakura was cut off as a noise came from one of the neighboring beds and someone sat up in the dark.

"Ryou, who are you talking to?" the voice of Harry spoke through the darkness as the black haired boy slipped his glasses on and immediately wished he hadn't. There, on his half brother's bed, sat an almost exact replica of Ryou. The only differences seemed to be hair and eyes, maybe even a bit of height. "Who's that?" he asked shakily.

Ryou's head dropped as he sighed and stood up in his pajamas grabbing a robe. "Come on Harry, we'll explain in the common room…just so no one else wakes up in the middle." By the expression on Bakura's face, he was not happy about this 'explanation.'

Minutes later found the two boys and spirit sitting in the common room by the dead fire, one thinking of an explanation, the other wanting an explanation, and the third wishing that he could disappear…wait, he could! Ryou shot Bakura a look that clearly stated he had to stay there the whole time.

"Well…how should I begin?" Ryou wondered aloud as Harry listened to him intently. Ryou undid a few buttons of his pajama shirt and slid out an old Egyptian looking pendant. "This is the millennium ring, given to me by our father as a gift. It holds the ancient spirit of a tomb robber from thousands of years ago (1) and he can possess me at any moment. It's sort of like I am his reincarnation, with me so far?" Harry nodded.

"He was at first violent and after the other millennium items, by the way there are seven in total I'll explain those later if you'd like, and he fought against my 'ex-friend', well sort of friend, Yugi who had the spirit of an old Pharaoh possessing his millennium puzzle. They fought many times especially during Duel Monster tournaments and he lost mostly." Ryou looked over at the spirit next to him who in turn glared at the boy in a menacing way that didn't look too menacing since he was a lot friendlier than before.

"Is there a problem with losing Ryou?" he asked the boy who smiled and shook his head. "Good because it's that stupid Pharaoh's fault for being the so called 'King of Games'," Bakura muttered in an annoyed way.

"Well so many times he was banished to the shadow realm which is like a realm of shadows that the 'yami's' or darker sides," Ryou indicated Bakura, "can control. They use it a lot in games and duels and whatnot. This is my Yami who goes by the name of Bakura." Ryou smiled as Harry introduced himself a bit nervously to the Spirit who nodded.

"Don't tell anyone of this meeting," he told the boy, "Only Joey and Isis, Professor Ishtar, know of me here and we don't need this information to leak out." Harry nodded his approval and so began the meeting of Hikari's half brother to Hikari's Yami.

About a day later Marik, Mai, and Odeon received the letter from Isis. After wrestling the owl that delivered it, Marik read it aloud:

Dear Brother's,
I am here at the school in England and hope you are doing well. My purpose for writing this letter is of utmost importance. As of late I have been sensing the presence of the millennium necklace and can feel its power once again. I know Yugi has the item in his possession right now, but perhaps you could ask him for it back, I feel that I need it. Also, there has been danger in Domino lately and the headmaster of the school requests that you come to live here for the rest of the year I will be gone. Please bring the necklace and send me back an answer by writing down your response on a paper, you can even use this one if you wish, and reattaching it to the owl's leg and telling it to bring the letter to me.
Lots of Love,
Isis

"Well, we should have you come too Mai so," Mai was about to refuse but Marik had already started writing a response saying that she would be coming as well. He finished explaining that somehow he would get the necklace and asked when they would be picked up or receive any airplane tickets. He attached the letter to the owl that pecked him a bit as he did so and sent it off for Isis. "Take this to Isis Ishtar please," he said as he set the owl free through the window.

The owl flew to the port key it had been given to travel faster and appeared in the middle of Isis Ishtar's sixth year Gryffindors class and she looked up from grading her papers since the class was reading about a spell to ward off ghosts, spirits, and ghouls. She undid the letter and read the response. Isis pulled out a new sheet of parchment and dipped her quill in ink writing back the message that Dumbledore would pick them up tomorrow and Mai was able to come as well she would tell the headmaster at lunch. She attached the new letter to the owl's leg and off it went with the port key, back to Japan. (2)

Marik, Mai, and Odeon spent the rest of the morning packing for the unexpected move. Mai helped the two boys pack and then Marik and she walked to her house to pick up some of her belongings. She filled a duffle bag and back pack full of clothing and personal things that she would need at the school. They quickly that afternoon arriving at Marik's house to form a plan to get back the millennium necklace, operation: necklace had begun.

"Now I heard Yugi will be out tonight so we need to sneak into his bedroom window and locate the necklace, where ever it may be." Marik told Mai, it had been agreed that Odeon watch the house and those two would get the item. (3)

Mai nodded and looked at him. "I don't own anything black," she said. He looked at her for a bit and then went upstairs with two purple cloaks.

"We'll wear these old things," he smiled mischievously. "If Yugi is there he'll surely be freaked to see my cloak again." Mai chuckled and nodded.

Nightfall came meaning Marik and Mai slipped into their cloaks, grabbed their tools, and left for Yugi's grandfather's game shop. It took a while but the two finally got there and climbed up a tree. "Now we just need to," Marik whispered and looked through the window. "Good it's his room, and he doesn't appear to be home. All we need to do is-," Marik took their tools and worked on the window, somehow managing to open it. They climbed inside and began their search.

"What is this?" asked Mai in a whisper holding up some stick. Marik shrugged indicating that he didn't know. They continued to search his room until they came across the necklace. Marik placed it in a pouch and they went to exit through the window, as they crawled into the tree the two heard voices. Looking down they saw it was Yugi and his 'gang.' They were talking about strange things that the two could barely hear and when the four slipped into the shop Marik and Mai got out of the tree and went back to the Ishtar household. Tomorrow they would be leaving for a school in England and Yugi would never know they had taken it…hopefully.

Ps: answer these questions for me please? I rarely get to watch TV anymore so I can't see YGO and I have questions on HP!

1. I know there is either 5000 or 3000 which should I just say "thousands of years" or would you rather have one of those two numbers?

2. Can port keys be reused? I can't remember and if not that imagine that she just remade a port key for the Owl.

3. Did Marik give the rod to Yugi as well? I have no idea!

-thanks to anyone who answers these questions! -
