"Speech"

Disclaimer: I don't own yugioh. If I did, it would focus more on Ryou and Malik, but mostly Ryou. I don't own harry potter either. This takes place during book 5, the main plot is basically the same, but yugioh's in it.

Chapter 1

Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, was pacing in his study when an owl suddenly flew through the window. He untied the letter attached to its foot and read it carefully. When he was done reading, he sighed.

"I was afraid of this. I no longer can hide them from the dangers at hand."

Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress to Hogwarts, was watching him carefully. "They shall be taken to Headquarters, then, for the summer, and come to Hogwarts?"

"Yes. They shall be safer here than where they are at the present. If you would be so kind as to alert Professor Snape, Minerva, it would be most appreciated. He can take the three to Headquarters."

"Do you think that they are trustworthy, Albus? How are we to know if they are not already the Dark Lord's followers?"

"We do not know much about them, but I am sure we can keep a closer watch on them if they are at Hogwarts then if they are in Japan and Egypt."

"I understand. I shall go alert Severus," she said, then left his study.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yes, my master. They will be taken to the Order's Headquarters, then to Hogwarts."

"This knowledge is most helpful. However, at the moment there is one thing I want more than the Millennium Items."

"What is it, my Lord?"

"The Prophecy."

Meanwhile, in the city of Domino, Japan, two teens and their yamis were waiting for someone.

Ryou sighed and glanced at his watch.(They're late…)

((I told you that you're wasting you time. There is no school for magic.))

(Are you ever optimistic?)

((No.))

"I didn't know that there was any other kind of magic," said Yugi. "Do you think it's like shadow magic?"

Ryou shuddered. "I hope not. My yami doesn't need to know more shadow magic, he's bad enough as it is."

/I doubt it is, aibou. I think that it is a new type of magic that we have never seen before./

As they were talking, a tall man with greasy black hair and a hooked nose came over to them. "I assume that you are Ryou Bakura and Yugi Mutou. I am Professor Snape, the potions master at Hogwarts. I am here to take you to London, where you will be spending the remainder of your summer in the company of wizards who will aid you in learning the skills required for you to start in the fifth year at Hogwarts. Now come along, you are wasting time and I have much better places to be."

Bakura growled.((I don't like his attitude. Maybe I should fix it…))

(Bakura! If you do anything to a teacher, you'll get me expelled! Please don't hurt anyone, I really want to go to this school.)

((… fine. But that doesn't mean that I can't annoy the Pharaoh, because nothing you say can stop me from doing that!))

(Of course. It's your goal in life.)

Yugi was excited that he was going to a school for magic./Yami/

/Yes, aibou/

/You're not going to send anyone to the shadow realm, are you? Because I really don't want to be expelled…/

/Don't worry, I won't send anyone to the shadow realm. Well, perhaps the tomb robber…/

"Come on now, I haven't got all day!"

Snape scowled. He was already irritable, and these boys weren't helping. They were the strangest boys he had ever seen, besides the other boy he had seen earlier that day, who had been covered with gold jewelry. One of them had tri-colored spiky hair shaped almost like a star, along with huge purple eyes. He was wearing an assortment of belts and buckles, along with a strange pendant on a silver chain. The Millennium Puzzle…thought Snape. He knew that it was one of seven very powerful magical objects, but he had no idea what powers it possessed. The other boy was wearing normal clothes, a blue and white striped shirt with jeans. In fact, his appearance would have been perfectly normal if not for his long, spiky white hair and his abnormally pale white skin.

"Come on, Ryou! Let's go!"

When Ryou and Yugi arrived at Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, it was nearly eight. They were greeted in the entrance hall by a rather odd looking woman named Tonks.

"Please, don't talk too loudly here," she whispered. "There's a rather cranky portrait here that hates to be disturbed."

Yugi and Ryou were staring in a mixture of fascination and repulsion at the room around them. (Are those…heads!)

((Looks like it. You know, I could get used to living in a place like this. Too bad we're only here for the summer.))

Ryou rolled his eyes. Suddenly a figure approached, and they heard an all-too-familiar voice start talking in Egyptian. "Well if it isn't the tomb robber and the pharaoh. I should have guessed that you'd be here as well."

"Malik!"

"Oh, so you do remember me. For a moment, I thought you had forgotten…"

Malik Ishtar stepped out of the shadows, a smirk on his face. Immediately, Yami and Bakura took over.

"Good to see you again, gravekeeper. I'm guessing that you're going to Hogwarts as well?" replied Bakura.

Tonks was confused. Because they were speaking in Egyptian, she had no idea as to what they were saying. She did notice, however the odd change in Ryou. When he had first seen Malik, his expression had been one of shock and fear. But now he wore an evil smirk that was almost identical to Malik's. She also noticed that Yugi's eyes were red. She could have sworn that they had been purple…

Their conversation suddenly switched back to English. "You don't mind if Bakura comes with me, do you?" said Malik to Tonks. "I need to talk to him." The two left before Tonks could say anything.

/I don't like the looks of this, aibou. Those two are dangerous together./

/I agree. We had better keep a close eye on them…/

Yami retreated to his soul room. Yugi was about to follow Bakura and Malik, but he heard a tremendous crash, and suddenly, there came an onslaught of shrieks and wails.

/Yaaaahh! What is that noise/

/I think that this was why she told us to whisper…/

The noise was unbearable. Everyone in the hall covered their ears. A man with long black hair rushed over to a portrait of an old woman. Apparently, it was the portrait that was screeching. "Filth! Scum! By-products of dirt and vileness! Half-breeds, mutants, freaks, begone from this place!"

With the help of a woman with flaming red hair, the man finally managed to close the curtains around the painting. The screeches and wails ceased immediately. Everyone went to the kitchen, where they could talk normally. Then a boy with the same red hair came over. His face was bright red with embarrassment. "Sorry," he said to the other people in the hallway. "I saw a ghost, and I ran, but I tripped and fell down the stairs!"

"You saw a ghost?" said the black haired man, raising an eyebrow in skepticism.

"It was a ghost, I swear! He had white skin and long white hair, and he had this evil look on his face!"

Yugi suddenly realized who the boy had seen. He burst out laughing.

"Hey! It's not funny! I'm serious! I saw a ghost!" the boy glared at him. "Who are you, anyway?"

"My name is Yugi Mutou, and that wasn't a ghost you saw. It was my friend, Ryou Bakura."

The boy looked confused. "But his hair was white, and so was his skin!"

"Ryou's an albino. That's why his skin and hair were white." Everyone burst out laughing. The boy turned beet red, and tried to ignore all the laughing people.

"Hello, Yugi. I'm Molly Weasley, and this is my youngest son, Ron," said the red haired witch whom Yugi had seen earlier. She turned back to Ron. "Ron, be a dear and take Yugi to meet the others."

"What about Malik and Bakura?" Yugi asked.

"It's alright, dear. I'm sure they'll catch up with you all."

Ron led Yugi upstairs, where the others were waiting.

Meanwhile, Bakura and Malik were rolling around on the floor, laughing.

"Did you see that kid's face?" Bakura finally managed to stop laughing. He was gasping for breath.

"Aaah! An evil ghost! Run for your lives!" imitated Malik. Bakura once again fell to the floor into peals of laughter. It was a while before either of them calmed down.

"Hey! That's not very nice!" a girl with bushy brown hair was glaring at them.

"Oh, um, sorry," said a very confused looking Ryou. Malik rolled his eyes. – Trust Bakura to leave at the first sign of trouble.-

Are you mad? Can I kill him? Or her? Marik sounded hopeful.

- NO! -

Awww…please!

- Do I have to repeat myself?-

Marik sighed. What's the fun of being a yami if I can't kill people? Malik gave him a mental glare. "That was really rude of you. He could have tripped and broken his neck, and you laughed!" She shot another glare, this time directed solely at Malik, who had still not apologized.

"We're really sorry. I'm Ryou and this is Malik. And you are?"

"My name's Hermione Granger, and the boy you just scared was Ron. Come with me. I'll take you to meet the others."

"Bossy little twit, isn't she," muttered Malik in Egyptian.

"Come on. We'd better follow her. What did you guys do, anyways?" asked Ryou in the same language. He had learned Egyptian from Bakura.

"We didn't do anything. The idiot ran into Bakura and mistook him for a ghost."

((He took off, screaming, then tripped and fell down the stairs. It was hilarious!))

(Hermione's right! That's not funny, he could have been seriously hurt!)

Bakura gave a mental roll of the eyes to Ryou. ((It's his own fault that his feet are so big…))

Ryou sighed, exasperated, and follow Hermione, with Malik trailing behind him.
