I'm back everyone! Sorry for the update delay!
I don't own YuGiOh, Harry Potter, or whatever may pop up within these chapters, like Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. I wish I owned them…
Ryou was sleeping peacefully when he felt a sharp jab on the nose. He rolled over, placing his pillow over his head. Now there was a jab in his back. Frustrated, Ryou sat up and looked at Yami Bakura.
"What is it?" he hissed.
"I feel an imbalance within the Millennium Items," said the thief, holding the Millennium Ring.
"You say that all of the time! I think you're the imbalance! That's why it's always sensed, because you sense yourself….wait! if you're transparent, how did you constantly prod me?" His psychotic Yami grinned.
"Oh, simple. I made your arm transparent so mine isn't." The thief grinned evilly.
"Oh, leave me alone, I want to sleep!"
"You can sleep in during breakfast, because there's no classes (Saturday). Go into your trunk. See what you cannot find."
"Oh, if it makes you happy!" he snapped. Ryou pulled back the bed curtains and opened his trunk. A soft tapping noise can be heard outside the window. Ryou let in Snowball and it perched itself on Seto's bedside table. He continued to sort through his trunk.
"What are you playing at? Nothing is missing!"
Yami Bakura frowned, "oh?" he took control and pushed Ryou out of the way, and started tossing contents out, left and right. A brown sock landed on Snowball, who hooted and shook his head to get it off.
"Oh something is missing, Ryou," said Yami Bakura, "a Millennium Item."
"A Millennium Item?" asked Ryou, "well let's see, there's the Eye and the Ring, and they're both right here!" Yami Bakura's eyes practically bugged out of his head.
"What?" he snatched the Eye from Ryou's trunk. He dropped the eye and it shattered, leaving a slip of parchment behind.
"Yes, that certainly is NOT the Millennium Eye," muttered the thief. "Like I said, Ryou, it was missing." He took and read the small slip of parchment.
-2 down, 6 more to go-
"How could this be possible!" yelled Yami Bakura.
"Shush! You'll wake the others!" scolded Ryou.
"Oh hush!" snapped Bakura, and then lowered his voice. "There are only seven items, yet this notice tells of eight. The Eye must have been taken while we were at the party. If there WAS an eighth, Shadi should have it."
"But, 'Kura, you don't know that!"
"I know enough! Wake the others!"
Ryou took control again.
"What? No, I am going back to bed!" he snapped the hangings shut, "you can wait until breakfast!" Frustrated, Yami Bakura faded back into the Ring.
-The Millennium Eye has the ability to read another person's mind. To use the Eye, one must be willing to sacrifice one normal eye socket to attach the item to one's head. If the Millennium Eye is taken out after being implanted, the original eye will not return.-

Voldemort clicked the 'close' button on his screen. Looking down at the Eye on the table he frowned. He wanted the ability to use the item, but not giving up one of his own to do it. Voldemort fingered the handle of the Millennium Sword. Soon, I will own all of the Millennium Items and the wizarding world will bow down to me! Potter and Dumbledore will fall, and the holders of the Millennium Items will join me or else! Hahaha! Voldemort looked at Nagini. His poor serpent was awfully hungry.
"Wormtail?"
There was no response.
You can never get good help these days… "Malfoy!"
Lucius didn't arrive either.
"NOTT! CRABBE! GOYLE! SOMEONE BETTER GET IN HERE! …OR ELSE!"
No immediate response, but after a few minutes, Snape came in the room.
"Yes, my Lord?"
"We're moving closer to Hogwarts, Snape. I want you to do this for me," he gave Snape a piece of parchment, "Be rid of anyone who gets suspicious. I will be at home in Little Hangleton when you are finished, now roll it up!"
Snape rolled up his sleeve and Voldemort stroked the burning mark.
As death eaters came in, Snape left.
"Orders, sir?" asked one of the arrivers.
"Feed my snake."
…Harry handed out a fairly large bottle and small cups. "Here. Share this among yourselves and Ginny and Neville. Hermione has more for the DA if anything happens…"
We'll be fine," said Ron.
"Well, Yugi and I are going to go," said Harry, pulling out the invisibility cloak. "I have a feeling Malfoy planned something BIG. Just be on your guard." They left the common room. Hermione distributed the Felix Felicitus (luck potion)
"Cheers," she muttered and they all took a swig.
The Millennium Necklace stopped glowing. Ishizu quickly put on her cloak and headed to Hogwarts.
I must see Shadi, she thought, something terrible may happen and I must bring it to the Pharaoh's attention. Ishizu apparated away to Hogsmeade.
Marik and Ryou ran up the rope ladder into Divination. Scampering into their seats, Professor Trelawny came out of her office in her usual, dreamy voice.
"Good morning class. While I was in my office, half past Thursday, I saw a vision that three of our own would disappear from the grounds during the Christmas Holidays. I have also seen," she said, moving to Harry's table, "that you, dear boy, will live to be a hundred and six years old, have six grandchildren and will die dancing the tango with your best friend's wife."
Harry looked at Ron, who looked at Ryou who looked at Marik who looked at Yugi who just shrugged. The rest of the class was laughing. Trelawny then began ranting about the constellations. Marik looked at Ron and whispered, "shouldn't we learn this in Astronomy?"
"Yea, well, the less we get her to teach us, the better off. She won't give us homework…usually."
The trapdoor opened and Trelawny stopped talking. Professor Shadi came up the silver ladder and spoke to the Divination teacher in a hushed voice. Not long after he arrived, he motioned for Yugi, Ryou and Marik to follow him. They grabbed their books, and dashed off.
Shadi led them into his office.
"What do you need, Professor?" asked Marik.
"Mr. Ishtar, I need you to go to the Ancient Runes classroom and fetch Mr. Kaiba. Quickly." Marik ran off.
"What is this about, Professor?" asked Ryou, deeply confused.
"You will see in a few minutes when Seto gets here."
Marik returned in a few minutes, alone. "Where is the Ancient Runes class?"
Yugi slapped his hand to his forehead. "Next to Transfiguration…"
Marik looked as if he had missed a joke, "are you serious?"
"Serious as pie," snapped Yami Bakura in spirit form, "now get moving!"
Within another ten minutes, Marik returned again, this time with Seto.
"I have found a way –" began Shadi.
"To make Marik smart?"
"HEY! BAKURA! (the Yami, not Ryou)"
"Silence!" snapped Shadi and Bakura fell silent as Marik glared at him. "…to give the spirits their own bodies."
"Y-y-you mean I don't have to be stuck with Lame Brain over here?" Bakura nudged a finger at Ryou, "I'll be fancy free?"
Shadi nodded.
"YAHOOOOO!"
"Calm down, Bakura…" muttered Ryou.
"It is a painless task," said Shadi, continuing, "that requires your Items. Please place them on the table." Everyone did so. "Now, it is essential that the spirits phase out of the items."
Set came out and so did Yami. "All six of you have to touch your items or phase through them." Yami's hand went through part of the puzzle. Set, like Yami Bakura, simply took over one of their host's hands so both were touching them. Shadi began to chant something in Egyptian and their was a bright golden light. When it faded away, their were eight bodies in the room instead of five.
Yami looked down at himself. He was wearing a Hogwarts uniform, identical to Yugi. It was odd to see him and Yugi solid together.
"You are separate, but share a link. If one of you were to be seriously injured, the other would mentally feel it," said Shadi, and then he turned to the spirits, "you cannot live without your reincarnates. If one of them were to die, you would become spirits all over again and trapped in the Item you possessed. Your bodies are not permanent. A dark spell is known to change physical forms. If you lose your body, you must get back with your host to get a new body." He smirked, "however, I am the only one who knows the chant and may not grant you the right to get a new body…"
Yami Bakura glared at him.
"There is something else," said Shadi, "if a host were to lose consciousness, the spirit's body would disappear. The Millennium Item must be within contact of the host for the spirit to come out. Any questions?"
"So, if Bakura lost his body, he may not get it back?" asked Yami.
"Yes, I may chose not to grant him one…"
"HA! In your face, scum of the earth!" yelled the Pharaoh.
Ryou looked mortified. "Me?"
Marik slapped his hand to his forehead, "Not you! Yami Bakura!"
"Oh good!"
It came quite a surprise to Harry and Ron when Dean, Neville, and Seamus got their own room so the Yami's could take their spaces in the boy's dorm.
"I must be seeing things," muttered Harry, sitting on his bed with a Charms book in front of him.
"Nope, Shadi gave us bodies," said Set.
"Yep! Now I can do what I want, whatever I want, whenever I want, wherever I want, and Ryou'll get blamed for it!" Yami Bakura cackled, rubbing his hands together in an evil fashion, a hilariously demented grin on his face. He made a victory gesture, "Hellooooooo freedom!"
"Thief! You promised you wouldn't get me expelled!"
"Uh huh! That was when we shared a body! I'm free as an eagle now! First stop –"
"And where, do tell, will you go?" asked Set, narrowing his eyes.
"If you want it that way, Set, I'll go to your tomb! Hahahaha!"
"WHAT!"
"No, not there, I'll go the one place I really, really, really want to go! Your tomb!" he pointed at Yami.
"Never! As the Pharaoh, I will never, ever allow it!"
"Just try and stop me!"
"Err...maybe I will!"
"How?"
"Uh……."
"That's what I thought!"
"Stop guys!" yelled Ron, "how are you going to do…well, anything without anyone noticing?"
"Simple, they'll be our twin brothers and attend classes with us!" exclaimed Yugi.
Bakura took a step back, "Oooh no! There is NO way I am sitting through a class with Shadi teaching!"
"Oh well!"
"You can't be serious!" whined Bakura, "what about me flying free?"
"Ah, forget your freedom!" smirked Marik, "education comes first!"
"I'm way too old to sit in a class!"
"Too bad!"
"I'm 5000 years old and have to be a sixteen year old all over again. Ra, this sucks!" Bakura plopped down on his bed, fuming.
By breakfast the next day, the teachers knew the spirits had bodies of their own and were given identical schedules to their hosts. They were told to play along as if Seto, Yugi and Ryou had twin brothers.
Never wearing one by force before, Set continued to fumble with his Gryffindor tie. Frustrated, he threw it down onto the table. Actually, to tell the truth, it went into the goblet of pumpkin juice, orange blotches appearing all over it.
"Eew," said the High Priest, grimacing, "how do you do it?"
"Years of practice," muttered Seto, buttering his toast, "now put it on."
Set pulled out his garment.
"Help someone," he cried. Hermione waved her wand and the stains disappeared, then she returned to the book in front of her. "Seto, pleeaaase!" the priest whined.
"You are such a baby," he muttered, but turned in his seat and fixed Set's knot.
"How did you do it?"
"Just did it. You're on your own tomorrow."
"But-but!"
"This will help!" He conjured a book out of nowhere and placed it in front of the priest. Set read the title.
-How to tie a tie, for Dummies-
"This is a disgrace to my intelligence!" He read the book anyway. While the plates disappeared, a last minute owl crash-landed in Yugi's hair.
"OW!" He pulled the unconscious bird off him and looked at the letter.
"Oh, Ron, it's for you."
Ron took the note and read it twice. Stupid Errol.
-Ron-
The holidays are fast approaching and this year we're going to visit Charlie in Romania. We're leaving a bit early so be prepared to leave school a few days early. Please pack and be ready to go on December 18. Say hello to Harry, Hermione and your new friends for me.
With love
Mum
"I guess we won't be together this Christmas," said Ron, "bloody hell! We have to get to Shadi's class before he mummifies us for being late again!" he ran out of the hall.
"I was sure he was joking!" yelled Hermione running after. Everyone followed.
Nott and Crabbe were on their mission by Voldemort.
"How are we supposed to know where the Millennium stone carving is anyway!" said Nott, frustrated. They had been all over Egypt and no such luck yet.
"Maybe it's in the Nameless Pharaoh's tomb?" suggested Crabbe, thinking for once.
"Idiot! He's not nameless, his name is Nameless Pharaoh!"
"Whatever, hey! That's it! Maybe it's in a nooseum!"
"You mean museum. There are hundreds around, it'll take forever!"
"Well, let's crack-a-lackin' then!" said Crabbe heading back to civilization. Nott sighed. Why did the Dark Lord always assign him to the really big time-consuming missions?
That's all folks. Chapter 12 is coming within the next few days.
If I get three reviews (or more), it may be up tomorrow!
Happy Summer!
