YD: Gomen, gomen, gomen! I lost all my ideas then I got writer's block. It took me one week to write this and I had to force myself to keep going. Sorry!
HS: I've really nothing to say.
Carmina: You're so boring, Sky. Hi everyone! I'm Carmina, partner-in-writing. I helped write the story.
HS: (muttering) Not boring…
Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Yuugioh or Harry Potter. Kazuki Takahashi owns Yuugioh while J. K. Rowling owns Harry Potter.
Chapter two
Every place had something interesting to look at. The three friends looked every way with happiness in their eyes. It had been a long time since either of them had been truly happy.
"Where are we going first, Harry?" Malik asked, looking away from the awesome sight before him.
"We're going to Gringotts first. It's the wizard bank." Harry led them away from the entrance and to the only wizard's back in the wizarding world. They climbed the stairs and entered the building. There was a second pair of doors with words engraved on them.
Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of 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 out floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
"Okay…" Malik muttered under his breath. "That's just strange." Harry stopped in front of a counter.
"I'd like to make a withdrawal out of Mr. Harry Potter's safe."
"Do you have your key?" Harry reached into his pocket and pulled out a tiny golden key. He handed it to the goblin who inspected it briefly.
"Everything seems to be in order. I'll have Gangli take you to your vault. Gangli!" Another goblin stepped toward them and the four followed him toward one of the doors leading off the hall.
"Are you sure this isn't too much trouble, Harry?" Ryou asked.
"No problem at all, Ryou. I earn enough money."
After the ride to and from Harry's underground vault, Yuugi and Ryou were feeling a bit sick. Malik, on the other hand, was psyched. Apparently, he loved roller coasters or any type of fast ride.
"Could we sit down for a while, Harry? I don't feel so good." Yuugi suggested. Harry knew full well how queasy those carts could make you. He smiled slightly, remembering Hagrid. Hagrid… Harry's smile dimmed somewhat.
"Sure, why don't we go to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor?"
"Yeah, let's go!" Malik answered for the three of them.
"What flavor would you like, little kid?" The woman behind the counter asked Yuugi. The teen inwardly seethed. He really hated being referred to as a kid. I mean what sixteen-year-old wouldn't?
"I am not a kid. I'm sixteen for Kami's sake!" He yelled. The woman looked surprised for a second.
"Erm… what flavor would you like?" She asked hastily. Yuugi didn't answer instead, he turned away from her and walked over to their table and sat down. He forced himself to calm down.
"I'll take a vanilla ice cream cone and a strawberry ice cream cone for my friend." Ryou said, switching the lady's attention to himself.
"I'll have a chocolate ice cream cone." Harry added.
"I'll take a banana split." Malik said. The woman quickly filled in the order. (with magic of course)
"That will be ten galleons and seven sickles." She said, giving them the cold desserts. Harry paid and the three joined Yuugi.
"Yuugi, hey buddy, you in there?" Malik asked, lightly poking him. Yuugi reacted instantly. He gripped Malik's wrist and twisted it slightly. He looked up with pure hatred his eyes and saw Malik wincing in pain.
"Sorry!" He apologized quickly and let go of his wrist.
"Jeez, Yuugi, I thought those instincts were dead." Ryou commented.
"I'm fine, just surprised." Malik assured Harry.
"If you say so…" Harry trailed off, looking at Yuugi.
After getting most everything on the list, the four entered the last stop, Ollivanders. Time to get a wand, a magic wand. Who couldn't be excited at the thought of that? Well, no one could really.
As they entered the shop, a soft sound of a bell ringing echoed through the store.
"Mr. Harry Potter, I wondered if I'd ever see you again."
"Hello, Kit. I'm just here on Hogwarts business."
"You're always busy, Harry." Kit said.
"Kit, this is Malik Ishtaru, Ryou Bakura, and Yuugi Mutou. Guys this is Kitten Ollivander." They shook hands politely.
"Nice to meet you, Kitten." Ryou voiced. Kitten smiled.
"Just call me Kit. I hate my real name. Now, you three need wands, correct?" The three boys nodded. "Okay, who's first?" Malik stepped forward.
"I'll go first." Kit pulled out a measuring tape.
"Which one is your wand hand?"
"Err… I'm right-handed."
"Okay then…" Kit disappeared into the back while the tape measurer kept measuring Malik. He just stood there, stunned. Kit came back with an armful of boxes. She handed Malik a wand.
"What now?" He asked, feeling quite foolish.
"That wand is maple and mahogany wood, essence of bog myrtle, and thirteen inches. Excellent at Transfiguration. Give it a wave." Malik raised it slightly but it was snatched away by Kit. "Try this. Red cedar and oak, twelve and a half inches, and good for defense against the dark arts." Malik tried to wave it again but it was once again snatched away by Kit.
"How I am supposed to know when I have the right wand?" Malik asked.
Twelve unsuccessful wands later, Kit handed Malik one more wand.
"Try this one. Cherry and maple, thirteen inches, essence of dragon heartstring, and good at divination and transfiguration." This time Malik felt a tingling sensation when he held the wand. When Kit didn't take it away, he waved it. Black and gold sparkles showered from the tip.
"Wow…"
"The wand chooses the wizard, Mister Malik. Congratulations, you have your new wand. Now Ryou, it's your turn."
"I'm right handed." Ryou said. Kit nodded and handed him a wand.
"Willow, twelve inches, essence of unicorn tail hair, excellent for healing and divination." Ryou waved it and a few faint sparks flew from the tip. "Close but not the right one."
Seven wands later, Kit presented Ryou with another one.
"Try this. Rosewood, eleven inches, essence of the hair from the mane of a unicorn, perfect for healing magic and well suited in divination." Ryou took it and waved it. Blue colors swirled in the air for a moment before fading.
"That was interesting…"
"Well, you've found your wand. Yuugi, your turn." By this time, Yuugi was excited.
"I'm also right handed."
"Try this. Mahogany, seven inches, essence of unicorn hair, and excellent for transfiguration and defense against the Dark Arts." Yuugi raised it slightly, Kit snatched it back and handed him another one.
"Kit, I won't know if that wand would be mine if I don't wave it." Kit continued as if Yuugi never talked.
"Try this one. Walnut and maple, ten inches, essence of silver thistle, good for charm work and defense against the Dark Arts." Yuugi didn't even have time to raise it before Kit took it back.
Ten wands later, Kit presented Yuugi with a black wand with a white handle.
"Maybe this one will be the one. Holly and ebony, ten inches, essence of griffin and phoenix feather. Very powerful indeed." Yuugi waved it quickly in case Kit decided to take it back. Red, blue, and purple swirled in the air, the colors of the three friends' auras. The colors disappeared.
"Yuugi, that is a powerful wand." Harry commented.
"Harry is right, ebony represents strength and it generates unsurpassed magical energy. The holly handle symbolizes life, vitality, and immortality. The griffin and phoenix feathers obey only a strong-willed spirit. You must be very strong mentally for this wand to choose you."
"Thanks, Kit." Yuugi replied, twirling his new wand in his hand.
"How much would that be, Kit?"
"Thirty galleons, three sickles, and six knuts." Kit replied. Harry handed her the money and the four exited the store.
"Time to get to Hogwarts, boys." Harry shrunk all the supplies and put it in his pocket. He pulled out a smooth stone. "Put your hand on it and don't let go. On the count of three, we'll be in Hogsmeade." 3… 2… 1…
Once in Hogsmeade, Harry led them to a large castle. The boys looked at it in wonder.
"Boys, this is Hogwarts. You're new home."

To anonymous: Long flame… Gee thanks for agreeing with me. Too bad I decided to continue eh? Okay here are the answers to your questions.
Dumbledore died. Simple as that.
Why do you think the title is Year Six At Hogwarts? It is supposed to be that way!
Think about it. If Malik, Ryou, and Yuugi had the regular magical talents they would have been found and sent to magical schools in Japan. But they don't have the regular talents do they?
What is that supposed to mean?
As for the House problem, Ryou and Bakura are going to be in the same House 'cause it's my story. I know he should go in Slytherin but he's not going to be. Leave it at that 'cause it's not going to change.
Would you rather me write about Harry, Hermione, and Ron going to a Duel Monsters tournament? No, I don't think so.
To Esther'nAreguardiansofdeath: Yup, I'm Yami Dragonflame. Dumbledore is an old guy right? Well during the Final Battle when Harry defeated Moldy Voldy, Dumbledore died. He's gotta die sometime right? Don't worry if you still don't get it. Everything will be explained later in the story.
To tiger witch: Thanks. I like originality too. It makes everything more fun.
Thanks to Sarah Costa, SparkyKnight, Chelley Angel, Atemu Yugi Lover34, badbunny, and Seto's Sister!
