I do not own Yugioh, and never will.
I want to say thankyou to my reviewers for chapter 3:
Sweet July
And answer to why Dumbledore was staying at the leaky Cauldron, he always seems to know things, including what places to be, so I thought it would be nice for him to appear there for no apparent reason.

History Can't Help But Repeat Itself
Review: In case you forgot what happened last time…
"I have just one request that I might ask of you," Yugi stated hesitantly.
"And that request would be…" Dumbledore enquired.
"I have a friend, named Yami who often helps me teach. Is it alright if he also came with me?"
Chapter 4
Dumbledore nodded, "Absolutely, I assume that you know that the school is a boarding school for students of magic, correct?"
Yugi frowned for a moment.
\Boarding school? What is a boarding school hikari?\
/A school where the students live in quarters that the school provide for them. This also includes feeding and the general well-being of all the students is taken care of at the school. They only return home for the holidays such as the summer, and Christmas holidays for a few weeks. It's actually quite a good idea, it means that the students can have access to teachers and other such resources were as at a normal school they can only access these when the school is open./
\This sounds okay, similar to my having tutors when I was a child. The tutor lived in the palace, and was a pain in the ass because he would never let me leave until I had finished all of the work he had set me. Then I made dad swap him so that Mahado taught me. Afterwards I remember that I wanted to swap back, but knew that I couldn't because I would offend my friend.\
/Poor little abused pharaoh, maybe I should tell Mahado about this, wonder what he would think/
Cutting the link with Yami he quickly answered the question.
"No, but I do now."
Seeming to be oblivious to the sudden zombie state that Yugi had gone into.
"Still willing to take the job?" Dumbledore queried.
"Yes," Yugi answered.
"Well then, Hagrid give Professor Mouto a ticket for the train to Hogwarts and then we'll be able to speak in a week when you get there. It's the same train as the students are taking and there is also one other teacher who will be on the train. I'm sure that you'll met him then."
Hagrid rummaged around in a bunch of papers and pulled out an empty clean envelope. Looking at it for a moment, Dumbledore took his wand and tapped the end on the top left hand corner three times. Curvy writing started to write down on the envelope as it began to bulge out slightly.
Passing the envelope to Yugi, Hagrid showed him the way out.
As the door shut behind him, Yami came out of the puzzle and stood right beside his hikari leaning slightly over his shoulder.
\So what shall we do for the rest of the day?\
/Back to the original plan, excluding the school visit, but only after we have had a look in the envelope. We may be expected to get some special things for being teachers at the school. That and we may have to choose the specific text books that they need, since usually boarding schools have the children buy their own copies of the text books they are going to need for each subject that they do./
Nodding his head, Yami followed Yugi through the hall and back down to the grubby pub where they found a nice table in a darkened corner to sit down at.
Glancing down at the wax seal on the envelope, Yugi say it was a coat of arms with the symbol cut into quarters, each with it's own animal. An Eagle, a lion, a snake and a badger, all surrounding a letter H in the middle.
Pulling it back, so the seal didn't break but was pulled from the envelope, and stuck to the lip of the envelope, Yugi poured the contents of the envelope on the table. They spread out in a small mountain.
A Letter of acceptance to teach at Hogwarts.
A List of necessary equipment.
A Ticket for a train, in one weeks time.
The Hogwarts basic rules guide.
Subjects and Teachers List.
For a moment, Yugi looked at the paper on the table, a small sigh escaped his lips as he noticed how much time they had until they had to leave to start teaching at the magic school.
"Well, at least we have done most of what we wanted to do while we were in London over the past few weeks, since our holiday has just been cut slightly short," Yami said hoping to bring a smile back onto Yugi's face.
"Yes," Yugi agreed. "And now we have to go and buy all the necessities on the list. I suppose they have their own shopping village very close to here, since some of the items that will be requested will not be found in some random shop in London."
"Tom will know, all we have to do is ask him," Yami concluded.
Picking up the list, Yugi read it out.
--

Though it will draw a lot of attention to you.

Yugi smiled, this year was going to be exciting if noting else. Whenever magic has something to do with anything there is always going to be something thrilling happening, or in the case of the Shadow Realm, something extremely dangerous.
Picking up all the papers, Yugi stuffed them gently back into the envelope, just as Yami spotted Tom walking towards the table beside them.
Getting up, he caught Tom as he started back to the bar.
"Tom, where exactly do we buy all of these things?" Yami asked, taking the list out of Yugi's soft hand.
Glancing at the list for a moment, Tom smiled and motioned for them to follow him towards the back of the pub where a door stood slightly ajar. Opening it, they exited the bar into what looked like an old back alleyway.
Yami and Yugi instantly knew that looks were deceiving as the felt the magic in the air around them grow in strength, and quantity.
Pulling out what appeared to be a thin stick made of some foreign wood, with a handgrip, Tom tapped on the back wall, the bricks in a special sequence. As he finished the bricks moved almost rolling the wall to each side making a large archway big enough to allow even Hagrid to stroll in without hitting the top.
Beyond the archway were many people wandering what could only be described as a wizards version of a downtown shopping street. Owners were haggling with customers on the price of items, ranging from potion ingredients to flying broomsticks.
Tom pointed out a large white building near the end of the street.
"This is Diagon Alley, you will find all of what you need in the shops on this street. Try to avoid Knockturn Alley, nothing good comes from that place. This building, the white one at the end of the street is Gringotts, wizarding bank, you can exchange your money there. Sorry but I have to get back," Tom said then left.
Making their way down the street, occasionally knocking into people, they made it to the bank doors in one piece. Although Yami had many a desire to maim more than one person for practically knocking Yugi off his feet.
A sign on the doors caught Yugi's attention, so he read it out loud.
--
Enter, stranger, but take heedOf 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.

/I'm sure that if Bakura put his mind to it he could easily break in and out of here and not get caught. Could take the whole bank with him if he wanted, leaving all the vaults empty./
\Probably, but we shouldn't praise him to do it.\
Smiling Yugi shook his head at the poor bank, knowing that as soon as Bakura saw this sign he would take it as a challenge and break in. He could never resist a good challenge when it came to stealing; he wasn't the King of Thieves after all for doing nothing.
