Amaya looked around her sparsely decorated room. Some of her belongings were still in moving boxes, stacked haphazardly in a corner of her room, and her walls were bare, devoid of all posters and pictures. She hated this room so much, and she hadnt even lived in it for more than one week. She kicked a bag clothes out of the way and launched herself into her bed.

As she lay there, pondering this new turn on her life, she remembered the look of hurt that had passed over Sakura's face before. She prodded her other side awkwardly, trying to maybe find an aswer. She hoped that Sakura wouldn't feel it.

((Hikari, what are you doing?)) The Ancient Queen's soft voice drifted though her mind. Blushing with embarrassment, Amaya qickly retreated to herself, but the presence of her darker side still lingered. ((Hikari?))

Sakura's tone wasn't angry or threatened, but calm and curious. It made Amaya relax considerably. (Yami? When Bakura wanted to leave, you looked really sad and hurt. I don't understand why.) She said, as the feeling of being pulled into herself engulfed her. (A/N: I have absolutely no idea what its supposed to feel like when you're entering the soul corridor. Lol)

She found herself once again standing in the doorway to her soul room, looking at Sakura as she leaned against a wall, staring at her Light with large green eyes.

"It was nothing." She said averting her eyes to the floor. Amaya raised an eyebrow. "It was a very complex time of my life. Maybe I'll tell you later." With that, she went back into her soul room, closing the door almost all the way. Amaya shrugged, and returned to her body. It was obvious that Sakura's past was a troubled one and she didn't want to talk about it, but she wished she knew. Maybe she could have helped.

She got up off her bed and went to the kitchen, craving ramen. The fridge was filled with vegetables and healthy food and Amaya quickly shut it with disgust. She hated this stuff. She wished her father was here, he hated vegetables with a passion and there was always at least some sort of junk food lying around.

Digging into the very back of the pantry, her fingers feeling around, she pulled out a cup of instant ramen. Amaya was glad that she hid some from her mother when they were moving. If she had to eat anymore rabbit food, she would turn into one.

As she sat in the living room, savoring the taste of the noodles, she wondered what this Hogwarts would be like. Would it be like her old schools? Would she be singled out because she entered late? More questions and doubts popped into her mind, and she began to seriously reconsider going to a Wizarding school when she felt a comforting presence engulf her. ((Don't worry so much, Hikari.)) Sakura said amusedly in her head. ((You'll hurt yourself.))

With that, the mysterious spirit disappeared into the recesses of Amaya's mind. Sighing softly, she threw away the empty carton and retreated into her room to start packing.

Yugi, Ryou, Marik, and Amaya were all at the airport waiting for their flight. Ryou was reading a book, Yugi flipping through a dueling magazine, and Marik was saying good-bye to his brother and sister. Amaya sat in her seat, nervously playing with her necklace, trying to calm herself down. It was ironic that a person that traveled her whole life was still afraid of planes.

"Hey Amaya," Yugi said, setting his magazine down. "how come your mom didn't come to say good-bye?" She shrugged, looking out the window at the dreary weather. "I dunno. Guess I was always a dissappointment for her. Not acting like she thought I should be."

"I'm really sorry." Yugi offered. Amaya turned around and smiled. "It doesn't really matter."

He was about to say something else when their gate finally opened. The four teens picked up their bags and got into the line to have their tickets checked.

"That flight was so long!" Marik complained, rubbing his back. Amaya rolled her eyes. Marik had been complaining so long, it was getting on her nerves. Next to her, Ryou's eyes suddenly turned cruel, and he whirled around launching himself at Marik. The two boys fell to the floor, punching and kicking each other. Yugi and Amaya took a step to pull the two apart, but before they could even reach them, two large hands reached down and dragged each teen up. Bakura was about to launch himself at the stranger, when he saw just how tall this man was. Amaya sweatdropped at the expression on Bakura's face. Marik was the first to start speaking. "Bakura, have you been setting monsters loose again?"

Yugi jumped in immediately, apologizing to the stranger profusedly. The man held up his hand and laughed.

"Yer the exchange students tha Dumbledore want ta be picked up?" Yugi and Amaya nodded. Marik was still staring, and Ryou was trying to keep Bakura from taking over again. (A/N: I don't know if I'm doing Hagrid's accent right, so if it's wrong please correct me.)

"I'm Hagrid, Groundskeeper an Teacher of Care of Magical Creatures. Yeh must be Ryou, Yugi, Marik, an' Amaya. Righ? Come along now. Don' want ta be late."

After they picked up their luggage, they followed Hagrid to the exit where he ushered them to an old-fashioned car driven by a stern looking man in a emerald-green suit. It was a rather tight squeeze, even if Hagrid assured them that the car was magically enhanced. With all five of them squished into the back seat, and Hagrid taking up most of the space, Amaya ended up on Yugi's lap. They both blushed furiously as Marik started teasing them, his lavender eyes glinting. Sakura quickly came to her hikari's rescue and the two switched places, the same time Yami did with Yugi. Their faces (if possible) became even redder and Marik's teasing intensified. Ryou winced as Bakura began screaming in his head :Get away from my sister, you idiot Pharaoh! Get away! SCRAM:

Ryou gripped his head, as the dark spirit raged and ranted furiously. :Y-yami… please…: He couldn't hold him in any longer.

"DAMMIT PHARAOH! GET AWAY FROM HER!" He lunged over Marik and grabbed Yami around the throat. Sakura gasped and tried to pry Bakura off Yami, who was quickly turning purple.

"Bakura stop! Stop it!" She cried, tears forming in her eyes. The Thief King let go, staring at her in disbelief. He growled angrily and returned to his soul room, leaving Ryou to clean up his mess. Hagrid was obviously in need of an explanation. Yami quickly made up a plausable lie.

"Ryou and I were rivals in a tournament we were participating in, and Amaya was sort of caught in the middle because she was our friend." Sakura quickly nodded along with him, and Ryou offered an apologetic smile. The explanation seemed enough for Hagrid.

"You four are a strange bunch." He commented.

"Wow. Amazing. We have travelled all the way from Japan for this." Marik said, looking at the grimy old brick wall. "You've gotta be kidding me!"

"Sorry, ta keep you waitin'." Hagrid said, entering the backyard and coming toward the wall. "Had a bit of a talk with Tom, the innkeeper here." He reached into his long over coat and pulled out a pink umbrella. He then tapped the third brick from the left above the trashcan, and suddenly, an archway appeared in place of the wall.

The four teens were all staring at the long winding road that was milling with exotically dressed people. Amaya giggled at the look on Marik's face. Open mouth, insert foot.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley."

Ookay, I think I forgot to mention it in the first chapter, but Dumbledore cast a spell on them so that they can speak english. Yeah, I'm glad we cleared that up.

Remember, votes for pairing, houses, and all that jazz are still needed! I wanna see some response people!
