Hey! I'm trying to get a chapter in before I leave for Band Tour! We're going to Texas to perform and do random fun stuff.

Reminders:
/Ryou to Bakura/

/Bakura to Ryou/

'Thoughts and emphasis, you hopefully get this by now.'

Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh or Harry Potter, but I do own the characters that I created for the hopefully soon to be published book with my RL!

Marik looked around the room he had just entered. The room itself didn't appear to have a source of light and Marik had to wait for his eyes to adjust to the darkness that surrounded him. After a couple seconds the Egyptian could make out, bare walls? With the exception of a chalkboard, the room had nothing but a big cauldron in the middle, which he assumed was full of cobwebs since it looked like the room hadn't been opened in ages.

As the he walked around the empty space, Marik couldn't help but wonder what this particular room had been used for. He continued on his search and eventually walked over to the cauldron; he looked inside. The inner cauldron was full of spider webs and it took him a bit to see anything. On the bottom of the cauldron seemed to be a piece of paper. He thought of taking the paper out, but growing up with a sister who worked in a museum he decided not to touch it. Who knows how long this room had been left to decay.

'I should leave, the air feels thick and heavy,' Marik thought and he retreated. There were many more rooms in Hogwarts that he could explore. This one was too eerie.

Breakfast that Saturday morning was uneventful. Joey talked to Mai mostly, catching up on what had been happening back in Domino, and Ryou watched at uneasy Marik.

"What's the matter, Marik?" he asked the Egyptian sitting next to him. Marik just shifted his weight and picked at his food.

"Nothing," he stated, Ryou put on an 'I know you're lying face.' "Fine," he sighed. "I was wandering the halls and stuff, came across this weird room."

"Want to show me? Maybe next weekend, it'll be interesting."

"Alright," Marik piped up, maybe Ryou could make sense of the eerie feeling. If that didn't happen then Bakura would definitely have his two cents in the matter.

Breakfast ended and the group headed out to the grounds. It was mid-winter and Christmas was coming quickly. The grounds of Hogwarts sparkled as though white glitter had been spread across the land. The forest even had its own sense of beauty, once you looked past the creepy appearance of the darkness between the trees. It was more like judging the cover, not reading in between the lines.

"So what are we going to do today?" asked Harry as they walked around the lake for the fifth time. After awhile it got a bit boring walking around a frozen lake.

"We could go to the library," suggested Hermione which received groans from everyone except Ryou.

"That sounds nice," replied the white haired teen. "We could ditch the rest of them and have some fun."

"Ryou that sounds too suggestive to be you!" shouted Mai her eyes widening at the sweat dropping Ryou. "I never knew you could be so…you know!" Mai shook her head trying to rid herself of thoughts.

"Now you know very well I meant nothing of that matter," stated a Ryou whose hands were placed on his hips and was glaring half heartedly at the blonde.

"Yeah, but it's still funny to think of you being that way Ryou," Joey laughed at his annoyed friend.

"Oh yeah really funny, I'll never forget the stories Tea told me about you and Yugi watching all those videos back home." He countered.

"Okay you win, you win," Joey sighed at the persistent ness someone who obviously didn't want to lose. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Marik watched the trio as they continued their conversation on a, one could imagine, interesting topic… 'Ryou'

"They look like they're having fun, don't they." Hermione didn't really understand what they were talking about. "Why are they making such a big deal out of what he said? I must agree; the library is very fun." The three boys sweat dropped as the other three stopped their fighting staring at Hermione like she had grown another head. "What did I say?"

Saturday went and Sunday came, bringing Harry and Ryou to Dumbledore's office. It had been awhile since the two had come here, the adults taking it to them bonding as brothers. Ryou looked over at his father, the vision from Divination coming back to him. Would it come true? Who would his father end up dueling in the magical world? All these questions buzzed through his head, that he failed to notice everyone was staring at him.

/Hey stupid, your family's talking to you/

/What? Really, I didn't notice/ Ryou shook his head and smiled apologetically. "Sorry about that, spaced out."

"We were just talking about what we were going to do for Christmas," Harry filled him in. "What do you think?"

"I don't know," Ryou looked to their father. "Doesn't everyone think you dead? If we do get together with others you'll probably have to disguise yourself or something."

"That's true. Professor Dumbledore suggested we stay at Ron's house with everyone else," At this comment Ryou noticed the elderly headmaster had left them alone, he must have been spacing out pretty bad.

"So will you pose as a wizard or muggle," asked Ryou uncertainly. James looked thoughtful for a moment.

"I'll have to ask the headmaster," he replied after awhile. Not too long after this the boys left for their house dormitories.

I'm sorry about the horrible chapter, but I wanted to get one in for you since it turns out I'm leaving for Texas tomorrow! I started this chapter so long ago! Hopefully you enjoyed the bit of humor, I'll try to update as soon as I get back and have lost most of my sleep deprivation. I was so busy this week due to Band and Harry Potter number six ((seriously I can't even finish it I'm so busy! -Sad-)) that I couldn't think about this too much! Review with ideas and stuff! I'll be back next Tuesday! Hopefully I don't get hit by a hurricane!
