Chapter 2- Of the Dreaded ... and a Fortune That Would Make Draco Malfloy Turn to Look

"Wonder who Tom is?" Malik wondered aloud.

"I am," said a man stepping out from behind the bar. The three students stared.

"Well?" said Tim. "Lets get going then."

Tom led Yugi, Ryo, and Malik to the back of the Leaky Cauldron.

"What about our suitcases?" Ryo asked glancing worriedly back at the large taproom.

Tom chuckled slightly. "Don't worry. I'll bring them up to your rooms. Now. You do all have your supply lists?"

The students took out thier letters and suddenly found another enclosed piece of paper they hadn't noticed before.

"Good." Tom continued. "You should be able to find everything alright. The first place you need to go is Gringotts. Its going to be the tall building at the end of Diagon Ally. The goblins will help you there." Tom then raised his wand and tapped a few bricks, (three up and two across) then the bricks separated creating a passageway to Diagon Ally.

Yugi, Ryo, and Malik walked into the ally, all of them looking around in amazement.

"Its so...big!" Ryo said, wide eyed.

The group made their way to Gringotts Wizard Bank. Walking up the white stone steps the group noticed a goblin standing in front of white-marble double doors. The little creature bowed as they made their way inside to find another pair of doors which had words engraved upon them:

Enter, stranger, but take heed,

Of what awaits the sin of greed,

For those who take but do not earn,

Must pay most dearly in their turn,

So if you seek beneath our floors,

A treasure that was never yours,

Thief, you have been warned, beware,

Of finding more than treasure there.

"Um..." Ryo stared blankly and began blushing.

Yugi shook his head. "It should say 'Bakura, you have been warned, beware'..."

"Id shut up if I were you, you little brat," Bakura had just taken over, throwing his hikari into his soul room and looking very agitated at Yugi. (like always...)

"Yea that's right."

"Fine. You can talk. Just not to me."

You can stop that now."

"Really. Stop it."

"Fine."

Ah! Malik! C'mon. Lets leave little Yugi here. We'll get the money ourselves!" Bakura yelled grabbing Malik's arm and dragging him inside.

"..." said Malik.

"Not you too!"

/Yami. I think you scared them/ Ryo said

/Whatever./

The inside of the bank had a great many goblins, some counting money, others ruffling through papers. Bakura stopped and stared. Yugi walked in and stood next to Bakura and Malik staring around as well.

"What are we supposed to do now?" Yugi asked.

Bakura shrugged. Suddenly something caught his eyes. A group of red haired people were standing, talking to a goblin. After the red haired group was done talking, Bakura walked up to the group letting Ryo take control.

"Um...excuse me..." Ryo began.

A stout red haired woman stopped and looked over at Ryo. Suddenly taking notice of two tall red haired boys running ahead she called out. "Fred...George. Wait a second." the woman turned back to Ryo. "Yes?"

"Um...I was...we were...just wondering. How do you...er...get money...without...um..." Ryo trailed off rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment.

"Oh, you were wondering how to withdraw money? Just go to one of the goblins and tell them you want a withdrawal. They'll take care of everything," the woman said.

"Thank you," Ryo bowed and the red haired group headed out the front doors. But not so soon as they couldn't hear one of the red haired boys say, " Who were they mom? They looked really weird."

"Yea. Especially the short one."

"Boys! Don't talk about others behind their backs!"

"Ow. Fred started it!"

"No it was all Ron's doing."

O.O -.- O.O "..." Yugi, Ryo, and Malik looked after the group before realizing why they were there.

"Well. Here goes nothing," Malik walked up to one of the goblins. "Um we would like to make a withdrawal."

The goblin to whom Malik had spoken to stared down at him nastily. "And who are you?" it asked.

"Er...Malik Ishtar. And um...this is Ryo Bakura and Yugi Muto."

"Do you have your key?"

Malik stared blankly.

The goblin sighed rolling its eyes and took out a long roll of parchment running a slender finger down a list of names. "Ah yes...my mistake. Go to Griphook over there. Tell him to go to vault 316."

Nodding the group walked over to another goblin that was standing by a pair of white marble doors.

"Um...we need to go to vault 316," Yugi said.

The goblin, Griphook, looked up at Yugi. "Alright. Right this way please..." Griphook opened the marble doors and led Yugi, Malik, and Ryo down a narrow stone passageway lit by flaming torches. At the end of the steps was a railway with a mine cart.

"Well...get in," Griphook said sitting in the front of the mine cart.

Yugi, Malik, and Ryo piled in as well, and the mine cart started off. A little into the ride Ryo put his hands into the air.

"Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! ROLLAR COASTER!" Ryo yelled out happily.

"Ryo...SHUT UP!" Malik yelled. Ryo sweat dropped.

"..." Yugi covered his eyes.

/Oh, for the love of Ra/ Bakura growled.

Not long after the ride started it came to a stop in front of vault...

"316. Here we are," Griphook said stepping up on a ledge and pulling out a little golden key from his pocket. Placing it into the keyhole he turned the key five times clockwise and seven counterclockwise. There was a soft click! and the vault door swung open.

Ryo, Yugi, and Malik stepped out of the mine cart to look inside the vault and collect their money. They received a big shock when they looked inside. If one were to say they had a small fortune, that would be a huge understatement. Their fortune was fifty times that of Harry's.

Bakura who had been watching from his soul room took over and dived into a mountain of gold coins.

"I'm rich! Rich I tell you! The Thief King reigns again! Mwhahahahahahahahahahahaha!" he yelled.

Malik and Yugi jumped into a pile themselves and began filling their pockets with gold Galleons, silver Sickles, and bronze Knuts.

(Now we will sleep less soundly knowing our friend BakuChan can access this much money)
