Hello guys! Here's chapter 5! I don't own YuGiOh or Harry Potter. You all know the deal by now! One day, far from today I'm starting a Harry Potter YGO crossover series from book 1 all the way to book 7. Not for a while. For those wondering, there will be a sequel to this story. Defiantly. On with the chapter.

Chapter 5: The Sorting and Feminine Snape
Professor McGonagall led the first years and transfers through the Great Hall. In front of the staff table was an old tattered hat with a rip in the brim. McGonagall addressed the first years.
"Now, when I call your name, you will come forth to be sorted into your houses." She opened her scroll of parchment and was about to read a name when the rip of the hat opened into a mouth and broke into song. (I do NOT own the 5th year sorting song. Don't delete my story because I used a song. PLEASE!)
In times of old when I was newAnd Hogwarts barely started
The founders of our noble school
Thought never to be parted;
United by a common goal,
They had the selfsame yearning,
To make the world's best magic school
And pass along their learning.
"Together we will build and teach!"
The four good friends decided
And never did they dream that they
Might someday be divided,
For were there such friends anywhere
As Slytherin and Gryffindor?
Unless it was the second pair
Of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw?
So how could it have gone so wrong?
How could such friendships fail?
Why, I was there and so can tell
The whole, sorry tale.
Said Slytherin, "We'll teach just those
Whose ancestry is the purest."
Said Ravenclaw, "We'll teach those whose
Intelligence is surest."
Said Gryffindor, "We'll teach all those
With brave deeds to their names."
Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot
And treat them just the same."
These differences caused little strife
When they first came to light,
For each of the four founders had
A House in which they might
Take only those they wanted, so,
For instance, Slytherin
Took only pure-blooded wizards
Of great cunning, just like him,
And only those of sharpest mind
Were taught by Ravenclaw
While the bravest and the boldest
Went to daring Gryffindor.
Good Hufflepuff, she took the rest,
And taught them all she knew,
Thus the houses and their Founders
Retained friendships firm and true.
So Hogwarts worked in Harmony
For several happy years,
But then discord crept among us
Feeding on our faults and fears.
The houses that, like pillars four,
Had once held up our school
Now turned upon each other and,
Divided, sought to rule.
And for a while it seemed the school
Must meet and early end,
What with dueling and with fighting
And the clash of friend on friend
And at last there came a morning
When old Slytherin departed
And though the fighting then died out
He left us quite downhearted.
And never since the founders four
Were whittled down to three
Have the houses been united
As they were once meant to be.
And now the sorting hat is here
And you all know the score:
I sort you into houses
Because that is what I am for,
But this year I'll go further,
Listen closely to my song:
Though condemned to split you
Still I worry it is wrong
Though I must fulfill my duty
And must quarter every year
Still I wonder whether sorting
May not bring the end I fear.
Oh, know the perils, read the signs,
The warning history shows,
For our Hogwarts is in danger
From external deadly foes
And we must unite inside her
Or we'll crumble from within
I have told, I have warned you…
Let the sorting now begin.
McGonagall cleared her throat and began to read the names.
"Aburto, Ronald!" A small boy with auburn hair and big Yugi type eyes sat nervously on the stool. The hat placed him in Hufflepuff.
/OH NO/
/What is it now, Ryou/
/I'm next/
/What are you talking about/
/Alphabetical Order/
/Is not/
"Bakura, Ryou!"
/Is too/ mumbled the spirit in his soul room. Ryou went up to the stool, ignoring all of the pointing fingers about his hair.
Hmm. Two minds one body. How peculiar!
/Hey! Get out of my head you ragged piece of filth/
/YAMI! It is MY head! You rent that space/
/Oh shut up! You, hat, sort Mr. Weak-minded over here. Chop Chop/
You mean yourself? The hat snickered.
/HEY/
Okay, okay! Don't be a pest! The kind one here, is more of a follower, but there is some hidden courage in you. A bit shy are you?
/Um, I guess./
Yes, this bravery is to stand up to your other self, Mr. Stiff over here!
Yami Bakura mumbled something, most likely a swear word.
Hmm…
/HURRY UP ALREADY/
Hey! Calm down, you!
/Thief! Be nice to the hat/
Thank you!
"Better be Gryffindor!" shouted the hat aloud. Ryou went over to the Gryffindor table and sat down next to Ron.
After a while…
"Ishtar, Marik!" Marik excitedly ran up to the stool, accidentally knocking it over the minute he sat down.
"I'm ok!" he said as he got back up and sat upright.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Kaiba, Seto." There was a murmur from adoring muggle-born fan girls as Seto went up to the stool. (Plus at this time Setoglomper and other fanfiction author Seto fans are ready to attack the obsessed girls) He strode up to the hat.
Hmm. Another one with two spirits. Not so opposite though. This priest is like the other, only more friendly.
/Sort Seto please./
As you wish! He entered Seto's mind. Oh! An intelligent one, like Hermione Granger. Ah, lost of intellect and courage. Always there for your brother!
/Please finish soon. There are way, WAY too many girls smiling up at me trying to get a date with me. Hurry it/
If the hat had eyebrows, it would have raised them. Okay.
"Better be GRYFFINDOR!" Seto sat down next to Hermione. Other girls in various houses started sobbing next to their friends.
"Muto, Yugi!"
The second the hat was placed on his head it shouted "GRYFFINDOR!"
After the sorting
Dumbledore rose to address the student body.
"Now before we begin our excellent feast, we have two new changes in staff. Sadly both were away right now and could not make the opening feast. They will be around for Monday's classes, however. (It was Friday by the way). On a lighter note, the list of abandoned items in Hogwarts has reached a total of 567. It can be seen on the door of Argus Filch's office, our caretaker. This includes most of the items sold in Weasley's Wizard Wheezes." Ron's stomach growled. "Also, the house elves would like it if you didn't leave hidden garments in the common rooms in various locations. They don't like it much. Now the Forbidden Forest is forbidden to ALL students. No magic in the halls. Enjoy your dinner!" The plates filled themselves.
/Guess what Ryou/
/What/
/Tonight we go into the forest! Forbidden or NOT/
/NO/
/Yes/
/Yes/
/No! WAIIT! Oh, crap/
/HA/
When the dinner plates disappeared, Hermione and Ron led the Gryffindors to the dormitory. Hermione, leading the group, approached the Fat Lady's portrait.
"Password?"
"Pharaoh's Destiny!" The picture swung open and the group clambered inside. Before the hole closed, a small rat scurried inside before the door sealed.
Monday morning, the group received their timetables. Yami Yugi and Set made their way angrily through the Great Hall, and when they reached the tomb robber, Set hoisted him up by the neck.
"What? What are you doing?" asked Ryou defensively. Set growled.
"Your spirit placed bloody chocolate frogs and other items in our beds last night, that's what!" snarled Yami. "We need to punish him."
"Oh," said Ryou, cracking a large smile, "I already took care of that. Right now, the Ring is somewhere in the U-Bend.
In the Ring:
Yami Bakura is hiding on a table in his soul room as toilet water and who knows what comes rushing into the room as Ryou flushes the Ring down the toilet.
Back to Breakfast:
Yami Yugi and Set nodded in approval to Ryou's punishment. The let their light's take over. Marik and the others entered the Great Hall and sat down. Hermione looked at her schedule.
"Next we have double Potions with none other than-"
"The Slytherins," finished Ron.
"Is Snape nice?" asked Ryou innocently. He could tell at Harry's expression that it was the wrong question to ask.
"Snape? Nice? Hahahahaha!" laughed Ron.
"I guess not then," muttered Marik. When the breakfast platters disappeared, Harry and Ron led them down to Snape's dungeon classroom. When they entered the candle-lit room, Hermione beckoned them to sit around a table in the back of the room, the farthest from Snape's desk. The door banged shut as Snape entered the class.
"This year, I will not put up with any foolish behavior. Therefore I have arranged a seating chart. In the row up front starting from the right is Crabbe, Potter, Longbottom, Goyle, Kaiba, and Malfoy. In the second, Granger, Ishtar, Parkinson, Bakura, and Muto. The third row consists of Weasley, Nott, Finnegan, Thomas, Brown, Morag, and Patil. Move there now. There will be NO talking."
"Today we will begin with a review of Strengthening Solutions." He tapped his wand on the blackboard. "The instructions are on the board. You have one hour. Begin…now!" The class sprang to work. After about a half hour Snape addressed the class, "your potion should now be emitting yellow sparks and should smell like sweat socks." He wandered the room looking to find at least one person in the room guilty of unworthy potion making. Ryou was all of a sudden stuffed into his soul room.
/What on earth are you doing/
/Making something blow, what else/ The thief started to mix many ingredients, most of which did not belong in the potion. Snape stopped at Longbottom.
"What is this?" he sneered. Neville looked very, very scared.
"A strengthening solution, sir," he squeaked. Yami Bakura began to enter the wildest of ingredients. Ryou stared in his soul room. AS a final touch, as Snape came by, Yami Bakura slipped a Dr. Filibuster Firework into the cauldron.
KABOOM!
There was smoke and steam everywhere. When it all cleared, Ryou was unhurt, but Snape looked like, someone very unSnapeish. The potion had gotten all over the Potions's Master, turning his hair bright orange, his robes pink and skin bright pink with purple dots. The class held back their laughter. Snape looked murderous. The bell rang and everyone hurried out of the class.
"I wonder who did that to Snape? It's bloody brilliant!" cried Ron. Ryou laughed nervously. Ron continued, "really! That person is my new best friend!"
"Hey!" cried Harry.
"No hard feelings Harry. Just joking around!"
"Well then!" said Yami Bakura taking over Ryou. "Congratulations Ronald Withers! You are my best friend! Welcome to the tomb-robber clan!" He laughed as Ron turned pink.
"It's Weasley."
"Oh whatever! Close enough!"
"What do we have next?" asked Marik, looking at his schedule. They all headed upstairs. Harry felt that nothing could ruin his day…
