A/N-Wow, I usually don't update this quickly, but… Anywho, saying thanks to:
JuMiKu-there you go, I updated. ^_^
Mavelus-thanks, and now you don't have to be sad. Oh, and slap Bakura for me.
Now all I need is for you guys to decide what characters you want to go to Hogwarts. I've decided Yugi (obviously) Joey, Seto and….. I don't know who else! Not too many or it would be too confusing to write. So I need one more person, who do you guys want?
Disclaimer-I don't own anything except my spongebob slippers and my new microwave. -_-
Chapter 2
Yugi stared at the owl in shocked silence for a few moments, while the owl gazed impatiently back at him. Grandpa sat on the rug, admiring the workmanship gone into creating such a beautiful thing. He also looked at the carpet to avoid looking at Yugi and the owl.
The owl, of course, got tired of this and yanked Yugi's ear. Then the bird proceeded to shake her leg to point out the message tied to it.
"Oh, so that's what's wrong, you want this off, don't you?" Yugi untied the letter, and then was amazed to see what it said on the envelope.
Yugi Muto,
Right-side bedroom, Turtle Game Shop,
Domino Japan, 04450
(A/N-no idea what his real address is, so I'm just winging it. ^_^)
"How does it know what bedroom I have?" Yugi asked the owl. The owl cocked her head, and Yugi looked back at the envelope and opened it.
"'Dear Yugi Muto,'" He read,
"'We are pleased to inform you that you've been accepted to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.-'" Yugi broke off in shocked silence, then exclaimed, "What?!? This must be a joke!" He turned to his grandpa. "You don't believe this, do you?"
"Uh, no, no, of course not!" Grandpa said hurriedly and unconvincingly. And he was staring at the rug worse then ever.
"Grandpa? Do you know something I don't know?" Yugi asked slowly. Grandpa just kept on looking at the rug, and was about to answer, when the owl flew off and bedroom door slammed open.
"Uh, can I help you?" Grandpa asked the newcomer.
"No, but Yugi can." The person turned to Yugi. "Why did you send me this?!?" He waved an almost identical to Yugi's letter at Yugi. The only difference was that instead of 'Dear Yugi Muto,' it said 'Dear Joey Wheeler.'
"You got a letter too?!?" Yugi shouted out at Joey.
"Huh? You didn't send it?!?"
"I don't send pranks." Answered Yugi skeptically. "I was thinking that you sent it."
"Maybe Tristan sent it?" Joey pondered.
'I don't think Tristan's that smart….' Yugi thought, and Joey gave him a weird look for Yugi's random giggling.
"You never know though, it could be real…." Joey contradicted himself, and after thinking a moment longer, burst out "But there's no such thing as magic!!!!!!" The mirror on the opposite wall cracked, and Joey stared at the poor mirror. "I didn't touch it, I swear!"
"Wait, I think it is true!" Yugi just remembered the strange person who yelled 'crucio' at his grandpa.
"Why?"
"The mirror, and-" Yugi told all about the events of the morning pertaining to the strange man.
"Wow…." Joey was shocked. He never knew Yugi could be that brave. Not that he was going to say that…
"So it must be true! And-"
"But who would name their school 'Hogwarts'? Fishy if you ask me…" Joey interrupted.
"Why don't you two just go with your instincts? Go to the school and try it out, it'll be an adventure!" Grandpa spoke up.
"Grandpa? Are you feeling ok?" Not very characteristic of Grandpa to say something like that.
"I'm fine, go, go! The teachers here are bad anyway."
"Ok… Wait! What about Egypt?!?" Yugi remembered.
"What about it? We can go next year! Don't worry about it. I'll switch the flights now." Grandpa tried to stand up, but he couldn't, so Yugi had to lug him up. Joey just glowered in the corner. After finishing pulling Grandpa up, Yugi got a look at the expression on Joey's face.
"What's wrong?"
"How the h*** am I supposed to get there?"
"You'll take Grandpa's ticket of course!" Yugi said smiling. Was this fair though? Joey had picked on him all year, yet he was going on a great trip! Oh well, maybe Joey would become his friend.
"Really?" Joey beamed. 'Why is he being so nice to me? It must be a trick…' He thought. 'Oh well, might as well go along with it…'
"Tickets all set, you go first thing tomorrow!" Grandpa called from the phone.
"Yeah!!!" Yugi cheered. "And I'm all packed! Awesome!"
"What time?" Joey asked. "I gotta know what time to go to the airport."
"The airport's 30 miles away! You can't go that far by yourself!" Yugi exclaimed, remembering all the rumors of Joey's past.
"I'll….I'll get a ride somehow."
"Do you want to come with us?" Grandpa offered.
"F-fine…" Joey said with difficulty. He did not like pity.
"You can sleep in the guest bedroom!" Yugi said cheerfully. 'Just don't come into my room and kill me…'
"Ok. Thanks." Joey went right into that room and slammed the door shut. A couple of minutes later, he poked his head out and asked "What about clothes?"
"Now that is a problem…." Grandpa pondered. "Well, you can wear my bathrobe for the night and I'll wash your clothes and you can wear them tomorrow."
"Sounds good." Joey breathed a sigh of relief, and a couple of minutes later, he was sound asleep wearing an old man's bathrobe.
Even from his room, Yugi could hear Joey's loud snores. 'Maybe he's not so bad…. Maybe his usual meanness an influence from Tristan? Or maybe…' But Yugi never finished his thought, he was fast asleep.
Yugi was woken up at about 5 AM, his Grandpa whispering "The clothes-they shrunk! What should I do?!?"
Yugi snapped right awake. "Get him new ones; I don't wanna get in trouble!"
"Ok, ok, sounds good, I'm off!" Grandpa ran out of Yugi's room and off to go get Joey some new clothes. But apparently, the noise of the talking woke Joey up.
"Yugi? Do you know where my clothes are?" Joey called from the other room.
"Uh… sorry! I can't hear you! I'm, uh, in the shower! Sorry!" Yugi ran across the hall and into the shower so he wouldn't be lying.
There were a few minutes of silence, with the exception of the shower, then a sound of stomping as grandpa ran up the stairs.
"Got… them…" he panted, and then shoved the clothes at Joey.
"Thanks." Joey said, and then a couple minutes later, he and Yugi were ready to go to England.
