A/N-Wow, I updated pretty fast. Well, for me that is. ^_^ finally, we're
almost at Hogwarts! That took FOREVER. 7 chapters! Oh well. And all of the
characters (except Draco) appear in the chapter. Well, I think they do. I'm
not sure if I want to add anymore or not. Is there any YGO characters that
haven't been in there that you want? I'll add them if you want.

Chapter 7
"So what do we do now?" Asked Joey, staring at the space between platforms 9 and 10.
"I dunno. Wait for a wizard family to come by? We can ask them." Answered Yugi.
"Sounds good to me," Said Joey. He plopped down on a nearby bench, and Yugi followed suit.
"What do you think it will be like at Hogwarts?" said Yugi quietly.
"I don't know." said Joey. He closed his eyes, and he imagined a regular school building with a 'Hogwarts School' sign stuck at the top. Then he pictured a blackboard with many complicated notes and long homework assignments decorating it. "I bet it will be just like school," Joey said while sighing.
At that moment, another boy walked past them.
"Harry!" shouted Joey. Harry gazed around confusedly.
"Over here!" called Yugi. Harry looked at Yugi, and pushed his cart over to where Joey and Yugi were sitting.
"Hi!" said Harry. "Do you know how to get onto the platform?"
"No," Said Yugi. "Here, sit down." He moved his bags over, and Harry sat.
They sat in silence for awhile, looking around for wizard families while glancing desperately at the clock. Five minutes until the train left.
"We're running out of time!" growled Joey. He hated waiting almost as much as he hated school.
"Calm down Joey. Someone will come soon," Said Yugi peacefully. Sure enough, a minute later, the Weasleys came into view.
"Hey Ron!" shouted Joey, while waving his arms around to catch the eye of Ron.
Ron didn't hear him over the noise of the other train-riders, so Harry, Joey, and Yugi all grabbed their bags and ran to where Ron and his family was, with their bags clanging and their owls hooting loudly in protest.
"Hi! Nice to see you guys again," Said Ron, once Yugi and company finally reached him. "Are you ok?" All three runner's faces were bright red from sprinting so fast, and they were all gasping for breath.
"We're fine... it's nice to see you too," said Yugi.
"So how do you get to Platform 9¾?" asked Joey.
"Watch Percy," said Ron, pointing to another red-haired boy.
They watched him run into the wall separating the two platforms, and....disappear?
"Where did he go?!?" demanded Joey.
"He went to platform 9 ¾." said Ron. "That's why you can't see him anymore."
Joey didn't believe it, and kept on stupidly rubbing his eyes.
"Do you have something in your eye, dear?" asked Mrs. Weasley, who had just sent Fred and George to the platform.
"Um...no..." said Joey, continuing to stare at the wall while rubbing his eyes.
"He doesn't believe that people can go through the wall to get to platform 9 ¾," explained Ron.
"Oh, well he should," Said Mrs. Weasley. "Who are your friends?"
"Yugi, Joey and......" Ron paused when he got to Harry's name.
"My name's Harry," Said Harry tentatively.
"Good to meet you three, now you'd best hurry up, you only have a minute to get on the train!" said Mrs. Weasley.
Yugi, Harry and Joey ran through the wall, panicking so much about missing the train they forgot to be scared about running through a seemingly solid wall.
They dashed to the train, hurled their bags then hopped on themselves. Not a second later, the train started moving.
"Whew, that was close," said Harry, breathing a sigh of relief. Yugi and Ron agreed, while Joey just stared at the ground in shock. He had just realized he had ran through a wall.
"So are we going to find a seat?" asked Ron.
"Sure," the other three answered. They all picked up their bags and owls (or in Ron's case, rat) and looked through all the compartments to find an empty one.
The closest one they could find to empty was one way near the back, with a boy typing on a laptop. Just before Yugi was going to ask if they could sit with the boy, something in Joey's mind clicked. He knew who that boy was. Joey grabbed Yugi and pulled him out into the hall, and Harry and Ron followed.
"Yugi! That's that Kaiba person from the summer! We can't sit with him!" Joey whispered.
"Joey, we should give him another chance," said Yugi.
"Why should we?" asked Joey.
"I gave you a second chance even after you beat me up!" Reminded Yugi, "besides, we need somewhere to sit."
Joey remembered how cruel he had been to Yugi and consented. Then the boys picked up their bags and brought them into the car.
"Excuse me? Can we sit with you?" asked Yugi.
"Fine. Just keep quiet," said Kaiba, not even looking up from his laptop.
"Thanks!" said Yugi while smiling. Everyone sat down, and attempted to be quiet. Ron was whispering excitedly after seeing Harry's scar, while Joey was looking confused as he attempted to read one of his Potions books. Yugi, finding nothing else to do, pulled out his Millennium Puzzle.
A few minutes later, there was a bang and the compartment door opened.
"Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville has lost one," Asked the girl that just came in.
"No," Said all of the boys, not looking up from their activities.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
The girl looked around, and her eyes settled on Yugi's puzzle. She walked to where Yugi was and sat down.
"You know, there's an easy spell to repair that," She informed him.
Ok, go ahead and try," said Yugi.
"Alright then, repairo," she said, while pointing her wand at the broken puzzle. The puzzle pieces started glowing, and for a second Yugi thought that she actually succeeded, but no. Instead, her exceptionally small front teeth became large beaver teeth.
"Are you ok?" asked Yugi.
"I think so, but my parents are going to be furious. They're dentists." Said the girl.
"Oh, that's not good." said Yugi. They were quiet for a moment. " What's you're name?" Yugi asked.
"Hermione, what's yours?"
"Yugi," Said Yugi.
"Well, I have to go look for that toad," Said Hermione. "Bye."
Yugi looked down at the puzzle, and decided it had caused enough trouble for one day, and put it away. As soon as he did, there was another bang, and the compartment door opened again.
"Hi Ryou!" Said Yugi.
"Hi!" said Ryou. "Do you have any room for me to sit? Everywhere else if full."
"No," Said Kaiba. He looked up from his computer. "There's no room left. It's already hard to type because the mutt keeps on elbowing me." Joey looked at Kaiba with an angry look on his face.
"Why should you get to decide?" asked Joey.
"I was here first," answered Kaiba.
"Please? There's really no where else to go!" begged Ryou.
"Maybe if we all push together more?" said Yugi. After he got a look at Kaiba's face at the prospect of that, he said hastily, "Or at least, Ron, Harry, Joey and I can."
"As long as it doesn't disturb me, whatever you do is fine," Said Kaiba. Everyone except him pushed together to make room for Ryou, and Ryou sat down, grinning happily. Two hours later, the train whistled loudly, and before they knew it, the train had stopped.
