-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That night, after the Dueling Club, Yugi and Harry were dragged into the Common Room. "Ok, why didn't either of you tell us you were both Parselmouthes?" Ron asked them after pushing them both into armchairs. "What?" Harry asked confused. "Parselmouthes. People who can speak to snakes," Tea explained. "Well, I never knew about it," Yugi said scratching his cheek. "Yeah, and that was the second time I've done it. The last time was when I set a boa constrictor on my cousin at the zoo. But that was before I knew about being a wizard," Harry told them.

"You set a boa on your cousin?" Brian asked skeptically. "Yeah, it was really funny now that I remember it," Harry laughed. "Harry, mate, focus," Ron told his friend. "So what's the big deal? I'm sure loads of people here can do it!" Yugi protested. "No, it's not. It's a very rare gift even in the magic world," Hermione told him. "Well, what's the big deal, we just told those snakes to back off, and people freak out," Harry continued. "Is that what you did?" Ron asked unsure. "Ron, you and the others were there. You heard Harry and I call them off," Yugi shot at him.

"Hey, all we heard, were you two speaking snake tongue," Brian said throwing his hands in the air. "So, we were speaking snake?" Yugi asked scratching his cheek. "Yep," Joey confirmed. "But, how can we possibly do it, without realizing it?" Harry wondered aloud. "Beats me. Point is, ya did," Joey shrugged. "Wait, I still don't see what's wrong, I mean, we helped those snakes from making Justin joining Nearly Headless Nick! What does it matter?" Harry challenged. "It matters...because Salazar Slytherin was a Parselmouth," Mokuba chimed in.

They all looked at him, surprised. "Hey, I read!" he explained. "Since that is, people are gonna think you two are his great, great, great, great, great grandsons or something," Joey added. "But we aren't!" they both said defensively. "Well, Salazar Slytherin lived over a thousand years ago, so there's a good possibility that you both are, in some way, related to him," Hermione said slowly. Harry and Yugi looked at each other, concerned and scared.

The next morning, after many duels and fretful times, Harry and Yugi decided to go hunt Justin down and explain to him what had happened at the Dueling Club. They searched everywhere, and when they came up with nothing, they decided to try the Library. They walked through rows of books until they heard hushed voices from around the corner. They peeked over the corner to see a group of Hufflepuffs sitting around a table. Serenity, Ernie and Ryou among them. "Look, I'm just saying, we don't know much about either of them. I don't trust them one bit," Ernie said firmly. "But, Ernie, we know Yugi and Harry personally. They wouldn't do such a thing," Ryou said, coming to his friends' defense.

"Oh, really? They say something to snakes, and they come at me more. They had a run in with Filch when they first got here this year, next thing you know, his cat's Petrified. Then look at Hawkins and Creevey, they were bugging both of them to no end, and then poof! Petrified," he said counting the facts off his fingers. "Oh c'mon," Serenity argued. "No, Serenity I mean it. They can't be trusted, I mean. Did any of you see that kid who's always hanging around them with a sword in his glove thing?" he asked his friends. "Brian is a good friend, and he has a good reason for carrying that around," Ryou said.

"Oh yeah, what is it?" Hannah Abbot asked him. "Well...that's rather private," Ryou said slowly. "Like I said, neither of them could be trusted," Ernie said triumphantly. Harry and Yugi had had enough, so they stepped out in plain view, startling the rest of the students in the immediate area. "Oh...Yugi, Harry," Ryou said quietly. "Hello Ryou, Serenity," they greeted. "We came looking for Justin," Harry began. "We haven't seen him today, why do you ask?" Ernie asked hastily. "We came to explain what happened yesterday," Yugi said truthfully. "You mean when you both sicked two snakes after him?" Hannah accused. "No, we were trying to stop them," Harry countered.

"Well, whatever. Oh and just so you both know, my family goes back through seven generations of pure-bloods," Ernie added quickly. Harry sighed angrily, "Yugi and I don't care what kind of blood you have!" he said. "I heard that you hate the Muggles you live with Potter," Ernie shot at him. "It's impossible to live with the Dursley's and NOT hate them," Harry said angrily before leaving the library with Yugi running behind him. "Harry, wait!" he called after his friend. Harry just kept walking until he ran into a huge figure in a balaclava holding a rooster, and it was dead by the looks of it.

Yugi finally caught up and was startled by the figure, so he fell on his butt. "Hagrid? What are you doing?" Harry asked the figure. Hagrid took off his balaclava and helped Yugi up with his free hand. "I'm here to see Dumbledore. Somethin's killin' off the roosters and I need his permission to put a charm around the coop," he explained shaking the rooster to prove his point. "Oh...well good luck with that," Yugi said nervously. "You ok, you look all hot and bother'd," Hagrid asked worriedly. "Yeah, just some problems, don't worry about it," Harry told his large friend.

Yugi nodded, "Well Hagrid, we have to get going, bye!" he said tugging at Harry's sleeve. "Bye Hagrid," Harry nodded, then followed Yugi. They walked down the corridors and rounded corners, talking about cards to get their minds off of what the people in the library had said. They were discussing the cards they were wanting to get when they stopped at a strange sight. Nearly Headless Nick was floating in the air, with smoke rising from his form, and he was frozen. "What in the world...," Harry whispered. "Harry! Look!" Yugi pointed past the ghost. Harry peered around Nick to see three figures lying stiff as a board on the floor. They walked over to them to get a better look.

One of them was Justin Finch-Fletchley, and the other two...were Serenity and Ryou. "Oh no...," Yugi moaned. They tried shaking them to see if they would stir, but no luck. Soon, the corridors filled with different voices as large crowds of students came from all directions, heading to classes. Everyone stopped at the sight of the bodies, the frozen ghost, and the two wizards between them. "CAUGHT IN THE ACT!" Ernie shouted, pointing at them. "We didn't do anything!" Yugi defended himself and Harry. Ernie scowled as McGonagall came through the crowd, "That is enough, Macmillan!" she said hoarsely.

She walked over to Yugi and Harry, "Motou, Potter, come with me," she instructed them. "We didn't do anything!" Harry said quickly. "Now, you two," she ordered. As they followed McGonagall, they heard two different yells echo through the hall. "I think Bakura and Joey just found out," Yugi said sadly. They followed her until she came to a large stone gargoyle statue, "Lemon Drop," she said loudly and clearly. The statue moved and hopped out of the way, revealing a large staircase. Yugi and Harry thought the same thing right then...this was where Dumbledore lived.
