The Rogue Bludger

Kilnorc: Very sorry for not updating sooner! To those who have been keeping track of my other fics, you know my reason for updating just now, to those who haven't, I've been working on my story Hellmouth. If you hadn't read it yet, plz read it and review and tell me watcha think about it! I'm always happy to hear from people!
Defense Against the Dark Arts Class had gone from demonstrations with live beasts and fairy's, to taking notes and watching Harry and Yugi being forced to act out parts of Lockhart's books, ever since that Ra awful Pixie incident. "That's right Harry, good, good, little more of a guttoral howl, there you go! Now Yugi, demonstrate the spell I did...THERE YOU GOLAD! Excellent, excellent!" Lockhart cried beaming as the two wizards played out a scene from his werewolf book.
The bell rang soon after the acting, and Lockhart addressed the class. "Homework! Compose a poem of me defeating the Wagga Wagga Werewolf! Signed copies of Magical Me to the best ones!" he told them as everyone left. "Now's your chance Hermione," Yugi whispered to the bushy hairedwitch. She nodded and pulled out a slip of parchment, then walked to Lockhart's desk. "Uh, Professor Lockhart?" she asked shyly. The airhead, I mean, teacher looked up and beamed his pearly whites at her. "Ah, Miss Granger! What may I do for you?" he asked politely. Hermione gulped, "Well, uh...there's a book I would like to check out from the Library for research, but the problem is that it's in the Restricted Section of the Library and I need signed permission from a teacher to get it...," she trailed off.
Lockhart shook his head, "Of course, of course," he said, taking out a large quill. Ron, Kaiba and Joey looked at it in revulsion, however, Lockhart took the looks the wrong way. "Lovely isn't it? I usually save it for book-signings," he told them, writing his signature on the slip of parchment. "There are you are my dear," he said flashing his teeth again, then turned to Harry and Yugi, "Tomorrow is the first Quidditch match of the season isn't it? Gryffindor vs Slytherin if I remember correctly. I hear you two are very good Seekers. See I was quite a good Quidditch player myself. I was even asked to play for the National Squad, but I decided I would pledge my life and my talents to eradicating the world of evil and darkness," Lockhart bragged.
Yugi and Harry made an odd noise in their throats and followed their friends out the door. "I cannot believe how thick that man was. He didn't even look at the book we wanted to check out," Kaiba scoffed "Good news for you Wheeler, he makes you look smart," he said, glancing at Joey. "SHUT UP KAIBA!" Joey yelled, taking a swing at Kaiba's shoulder. He sidestepped out of the way and Joey landed facefirst on the stone floor, Yugi shook his head and sighed.They quieted down as the group entered the library. Hermione walked up to Madam Pince, the librarian and presented her the note with Lockhart's signature. "Most Potente Potions?" she asked skeptically, checking for any signs of forgery.
She looked at them, the note, then headed to the back of the Library. A few minutes later, she returned with a large, thick and moldy-looking old book. They thanked her and headed towards Moaning Myrtle's bathroom once more. They sat there on the floor as Hermione skimmed through the pages. "I can see why this was in the Restricted Section, these illustrations show the effects of most of these potions and their horrid to look at. Plus, these are the most difficult looking potion recipes I've ever seen, here Seto, you look at," she said handing the book to Kaiba. He looked at the pages and nodded, "She's right, these are hard, hell some of these ingredients we can't get our hands on without going into Snape's personal storeroom," he told them.
"Some of them? What about the rest?" Harry asked. "The rest of the ingredients we can grab from the student's storeroom, so that's easy to cross of our to-do list, plus we're going to need something of the people we're going to turn into," he explained. "No way am I'm going to drink something that had Crabbe's toenail in it!" Ron declared. "That's fine, Weasley, if you want to chicken out and have Malfoy keep his little secret with his sister, be our guest. Then Hermione can take this book back to the Library," Kaiba said closing the book. "Ok, ok, damn. You know, I never see you two persuading us to break the rules," Ron noted.
-The Next Day-
Saturday morning, the day of the first Quidditch match, had come at last. Harry and Yugi were pretty nervous about it. They sat in the locker room with the rest of the team as Wood began his pep talk. "Ok team, first season's match, and it's against Slytherin. Now they may have new teammates and faster, better brooms, but we have an excellent roster of players on our team, plus we've been through all sorts of weather," Wood told them. "Yeah, George and I still aren't completely dry yet," Fred piped up. Chest heaving with emotion, Wood turned to Harry and Yugi, "It's all down to you two, you have to show them what you two can do as Seekers. No matter what, we MUST win this," Wood told them. "Oh wonderful, Oliver, no pressure whatsoever," George joked.
The Gryffindor Quidditch Team entered the Quidditch field to be greeted by the roaring sound of the fans. Joey saw his sister, Ryou and Bakura were cheering them on from the Hufflepuff section, Harry saw Ron and Hermione cheering for him, and Yugi noticed Yami, Mokuba, Tea, and Hagrid waving to him, Brian and Joey. The Slytherins marched onto the field and Yugi and Harry caught sight of the Ishtars and Malfoy in their green robes. Madam Hooch walked onto the field with the equipment crate carried by two students behind her.
"On my whistle. Three...two...one," Madam Hooch blew her whistle and every player except the replacements players, shot into the air and the first Quidditch Game of the Season, began! Harry sped through the ranks of the Slytherin team, searching for the Snitch. "Hey, you ok there, Scarhead?" Draco sneered at him. Harry had to admit, Malfoy's acting was good, but didn't have time to reply, because a large black Bludger came soaring at him. He barely dodged it in time, he could feel it ruffle his hair as it shot past him.
George rose into the air and whacked the Bludger with his bat hard, sending it to the other side of the field. "Close one there Harry!" he called out, grinning. However, the Bludger curved around like a boomerang and came at Harry once more. Fredhit it, but it kept coming back. What's going on? No Bludger ever concentrates on one player Harry thought, dodging the Bludger again. Meanwhile, the superior brooms of the Slytherin Team were doing their job, and well. Hardly anyone was able to keep them from scoring.
Fred and George kept batting the Bludger away from Harry. "Someones - tampered - with - this - Bludger!" Fred said, after every hit. Oliver called a team huddle and as they grouped together on the ground, while the Slytherins laughed at them. "What the bloody hell is going on out there? Fred, George, why didn't you help Alicia out when that Bludger kept her from scoring?" Wood asked them angrily. "We were twenty feet above her, trying to keep that Bludger from killing Harry!" George explained in the same tone of voice. "Someone's messed with it," Fred proposed. "Impossible! They've been in Madam Hooche's office since our last practice game, no one could've been in there," Joey protested.
"Guys, stop fighting. You two get back to the rest of the team. Harry, I'll take over for awhile, I'm smaller I might be able to dodge it easier," Yugi said. "You crazy, Yugi? That thing will take your head off!" Brian told him. "Look, you guys have a better plan?" Harry asked his teammates. With their silence as their answer, the game resumed with Harry in reserve while Yugi flew into the battle-zone. While Fred and George protected their other teammates, Yugi waved in and out of the Bludger's warpath. "Hey Motou, practicing for ballet?" Malfoy called out.
Yugi noticed the Golden Snitch floating above Malfoy's right ear. He zoomed towards him so fast, Malfoydived out of the way startled at the sudden action. He drew closer to the Snitch when he saw the Bludger coming towards him. He closed his eyes, waiting for the impact. Suddenly he was pushed away from below. He heard a sickening CRACK echo through the air. He opened his eyes and looked back. Harry had taken his place, and the Bludger had smashed into Harry's elbow, shattering the bone. He began to fall towards the ground, but Yugi swooped down, reached out and grabbed him with his left arm.
He looked down and saw the Bludger coming right for him. Yugi didn't have anyone coming for him this time, and the Bludger whammed right into him, breaking his arm as well. Due to the force of the strike, Yugi fell off his broom and fell down to the earth with Harry. They both landed hard with a loud dull THUD. Rain fell onto them as pain coursed through their bodies. Harry started laughing and Yugi turned his head to see why. Harry slowly held up his hand and Yugi began laughing too, the Golden Snitch was theirs, Gryffindor had won the match.
Harry's vision blurred and then he saw a flash of a bright white light, Lockhart's perfect teeth. "Oh no, not you," he moaned. "Don't know what he's saying," Lockhart said loudly "Don't worry, boys, I'll have you fixed up in a jiffy!" Lockhart beamed. "Uh, no thank you Professor, we'll just keep our arms like this," Yugi said pulling away slowly. Harry heard a familiar clicking sound, "Colin, no pictures, I don't want to remember this," he told him. Yugi felt fresh pain come to him as Rebecca Hawkins hugged him tightly. "Poor Yugi! Does it hurt?" she asked him worriedly. "OW! Rebecca! Yes it does hurt! Let go of me, you're making it worse!" he said, pushing her away.
"Now hold still boys, this is a spell that's worked everytime!" Lockhart told them, bringing out his wand. Before they could stop him, he cast his spell on them both. They felt the pain go away, and heard gasps from the crowd surround them. "Uh, Harry. We got a problem," Yugi told him in a panicky voice. Harry looked down and noticed both his and Yugi's arms weren't broken anymore...the bones were gone! Nothing left but two rubber fleshy extensions. "Well now, that does tend to happen once in a while. Well would you children kindly take them up to the hospital wing?" Lockhart asked their friends. Bakura made his way through the crowd, "I have an idea to make this more enjoyable," he said, messing with the rubber arms.
When he was done, Yugi and Harry found themselves joined together by the arms, due to Bakura tying their rubbery arms into a large bow knot. "BAKURA!" Yami yelled at the Tomb Robber, who quickly ran away, laughing his head off. Brian and Joey helped Yugi and Harry to their feet. All their friends escorted them to the hospital wing, where they explained what had happened. "You should've come to me straight away! Broken bones I can mend easily, but growing them back...that's another story,"Madam Pomfreysaid, watching Hermione and Tea undo the rubber knot Bakura had made. She walked over to a cabinet and pulled out a bottle of liquid and two sets of pajamas.
"Drink this," she ordered, gently pouring the liquid from the bottle into goblets and giving them to Harry and Yugi. They noticed smoke rose from the goblets, but drank them anyway, only to choke on them. "Drink all of it, or it won't work," Madam Pomfrey ordered. They quickly swallowed it all and she tossed the pajamas to them. "Your both in for a long night, growing bones is painful. You're going to have to remain here for the night, while your arms grow back," she explained. "That means, you need to leave now," she said ushering their friends out of the room. "Don't worry Yugi! I'll get Bakura for doin' that trick wit ya arms!" Joey promised before he was pushed out the door. Yugi and Harry changed into the their pajamas as best they could then settled into the beds, and began to sleep, hoping it would start and be over soon.
