A/N- sorry it took so long to update. UU high school is way harder then I thought it was going to be!!! --;; But luckily, I'm starting to get a hang of it. Mostly anyway... This chapter is kinda crappy, but oh well. It's exactly 1,080 words. And it has a cliffhanger! Leave a review when you finish reading, por favor! (that's Spanish for please. I'm taking Spanish in school, and I'm trying to practice my Spanish)
Review Responses:
Ssp- generally, most random things are important in the end. (aka the dragon thing) And about how long will this story be? I have no idea at all, whatsoever. Probably 20 chapters? I dunno. It's kinda hard to tell, but seeing I'm on chapter 12 and I'm only on the 1st week of Hogwarts, I have no idea. And thanks about the developing Yugi and Joey's friendship. I actually worked really hard on that, because I didn't want it to seem like, "Hi! We were just enemies a couple days ago, but now we're best friends!" And yeah, I could tell your review wasn't a flame. I was just really spazzy when I did my review responses that time.
DarkFire180-I like your name, DarkFire180. DarkFire.. reminds me of Darkfire on Teen Titans, I love that show! And just darkness and fire in general are awesome. So is the number 180.
Krista123- Yeah, finally Yami appeared. And Kaiba. Kaiba is such a weird name... heheh... Kaiba... Cancer is evil. It deserves to die!!!!!!! And finally, I've posted. I always feel SO guilty when I don't post more chapters! Though I don't post very often anyway..
Princess of Rivendell-wow, thanks! I'm glad you think it's funny, I thought my humor was kinda...pathetic. ;;
Yami-Angel14-yes, there should be more Bakura. I need to work on that... I think I'm going to add him in a lot in chapter 13/14, maybe there'll be a showdown between him and Yami. That would be so awesome! I'll check out your stories soon, but not tonite. I have to go to bed early because I have a skating show tomorrow. --;;
Selene-Yugi-Here, now I've continued. I hate it when people don't update their stories, it makes me so mad! Though I do that A LOT.... What's that word? Hypocritical.. I hate those ppl, even though I'm one frequently... sigh...
Amari Koorime-I tried to email you or something, but I don't believe I found your email.. Hey, you're 14 too? It would be cool to email eachother or something like that, it would be fun.
Cute lil Yami- Wow, I'm so glad you like my story so much! It makes me want to update my story faster. Keyword: Want. Unfortunately, no time! But finally I updated. I hope you continue reviewing.

Chapter 12
"What can we do to stop the dragon?" Joey shouted, "It's so big!"
"I sense a dark presence around it," said Yami, "I think someone's forcing it to act this way!"
"What?" Joey looked at him. "Are you sure?"
"Yes," said Yami, "now Joey, do you see that rope?" he pointed to a corner.
'When did that get here?' Joey thought. "Yeah, I do. Want me to go get it?"
"Yes," Yami said. "And you can hold onto one end while I hold onto the other."
Joey grabbed the rope and tossed one end to Yami. "Now what?" Joey asked.
"We can tie it up," said Yami. Yami ran around the dragon clockwise, while Joey ran around it counterclockwise. They ran around several times and then pulled. The dragon fell over and there was a big crash as the dragon hit its head against the floor, dropping into unconsciousness.
There was another flash of the Millennium Puzzle.
"Wow, we defeated the dragon!" Yugi cheered. "We should go get Dumbledore, don't ya think?" he said to Joey.
"Yeah," said Joey, but there was no need. The crash of the dragon had made a very loud noise, and all the teachers ran from their classes to go see what was happening.
The teachers stared in shock. "What is going on here?" Professor Mc Gonagell gasped.
"A dragon got into the school," said Yugi. "And we stopped it."
"You two stopped a dragon?" Snape sneered, "I find that highly unlikely."
"Do you see anyone else around?" Joey exclaimed.
Snape was about to respond, but Dumbledore interrupted.
"How about you two come with me?" he said.
Joey glared at Snape one last time, then turned and followed Yugi and Dumbledore to his office.
"So did you two really defeat the dragon?" asked Dumbledore.
Yugi nodded vigorously while Joey said, "of course!"
"Now I just wonder why that dragon attacked you," Dumbledore sighed. "It was tamed by Charlie Weasley; did you notice its collar? And I know he'd never send a partially-trained dragon into Hogwarts!"
"Is Charlie Ron's brother?" Yugi asked. Dumbledore nodded.
"Wow, how many Weasleys are there?" Joey asked.
"Many, but now we're getting off the subject," reminded Dumbledore. "Anyway, back to the dragon. Can you explain the whole event to me?"
"Well," started Yugi, "We were heading down to your office because Joey wanted to talk to the sorting hat. Then I got lost and the dragon appeared. Joey came back and we tried to tell the teachers about it, but they wouldn't listen to us. So we fought it."
"How did you win?" asked Dumbledore.
Yugi looked puzzled. "I don't remember," he said.
"I do," said Joey. "We tied it up. Then it fell over and hit its head."
Dumbledore nodded. "Well, I guess that is about it for now. Why don't you two head down to the Great Hall, I believe it is almost time for dinner."
Joey and Yugi stood up and walked down to the Great Hall.
"I wish I could have gotten a chance to talk to that stupid sorting hat," said Joey grumpily.
"At least we defeated that dragon," said Yugi. "I wonder how it got in..."
Joey sat down at the Gryffindor table as usual, and he started telling Harry, Ron, and Ryou about the dragon.
About half-way through the tale, Dumbledore stood up to make an announcement. He described the whole dragon incident briefly before saying, "Points should be awarded to Joey and Yugi for their brave actions. To the house of Gryffindor, 30 points. And to Slytherin-"
"-Don't give any points to me!" shouted Joey.
Dumbledore looked slightly confused. "Why?" he asked.
"I don't want any points going to them!" Joey shouted, pointing straight at Malfoy and the rest of the Slytherins. Many of the Slytherins looked glared at him, and Malfoy looked like he wanted to hurt Joey very badly.
Dumbledore nodded. "As you wish," he said, and then sat down. The rest of that meal was almost silent, but as everyone left the Great Hall, it seemed as if everyone regained their voices.
"Did you see the look on Malfoy's face?!?" exclaimed Harry.
"I did," said Yugi.
"Dumbledore looked kinda surprised too," said Ron.
"You don't think that the Slytherins are going to hurt Joey, do you?" asked Ryou.
"Nah, they won't hurt me," said Joey. Then he groaned. "Oh shit!" he exclaimed. "I'm having that 'Wizard's duel' thing with Malfoy tonight."
"Do you want me to come with you?" asked Yugi.
Joey looked at Yugi. "No way! They'd kill you if they saw a Gryffindor in the Slytherin tower!"
"Who says that they have to see you?" said a voice from behind them.
Joey turned around. "Kaiba?!?" he shouted.
"Yes Wheeler," Kaiba said. "I have something that might help you. A couple things, actually."
"What's the catch?" asked Joey.
"Well, the things that could help you are prototype, so they might break in the middle when you're using them. You're acting as my guinea pig. Other then that, no catch," Kaiba said.
Joey sighed. "Alright, what do you have?"
Kaiba pulled out from in his cloak two objects, one that looked like a watch, and one that looked almost like a ski jacket.
"What do those do?" Joey asked.
"Well, the 'watch' can create holograms that look like spells. All you have to do is press one of the buttons, and it'll do the rest. The second works almost like an invisibility cloak. Whoever you want to go in with you can wear it." Kaiba explained.
"That's so cool!" Yugi exclaimed. Joey tried not to look too impressed.
"Wait a second. I thought electrical things couldn't work inside Hogwarts," said Ryou.
"Hermione and I figured out a way around that," said Kaiba.
"How?" Ryou asked.
"If I told you, I'd have to kill you," Kaiba said, absolutely seriously. Then he turned. "Return them to me in the morning," he said, heading off to the Gryffindor tower.
"Come on Yugi! It's about to start, we have to hurry!" Joey exclaimed. He grabbed Yugi's arm and ran down one of the halls.
"Good luck!" Harry, Ron, and Ryou called after them.
Joey and Yugi stood outside of the Slytherin tower. Joey was strapping on the 'watch', while Yugi put on the fake invisibility cloak.
"Are you sure you want to come?" Joey asked.
"Of course! I want to be able to help you if you're in trouble," said Yugi. Yugi zippered up the jacket and disappeared.
"Well, here goes nothing," said Joey, and opened the door to the Slytherin Tower.
