Chapter 10: The real chapter 9
)))))linelinelinelineline(((((
Harry looked around the room as he walked down the staircase. The scratching of a quill caught his attention and he looked over at the source. Rosa was sitting on the floor in the corner with her laptop to her left, book stacks on her right, and tons and tons of paper spread everywhere else in piles, folders, notebooks, clipboards, you name it. Tucked behind her ear where two pens, while a third stuck out of her mouth. Her hair was pulled up in a quick, messy bun and she sat in the floor in a large white, stained in spots, T-shirt and a pair of gray sweatpants, seeing as it was room temp.
He walked up to Rosa as she hustled to put her words on her paper. She glanced up at him before finishing up her sentence and searching for something on her laptop. She double tapped her finger on a small pad before quickly reading over the material that appeared on the next page. A small sound erupted from under a pile of crumpled papers as Rosa ruffled her fingers through it to grab whatever she was looking for. She pulled out a cell phone and held it up to her ear.
"Talk ta me …hold on a sec" She placed the phone down and plugged in a pair of earphones. "Continue …Uh huh …Uh Huh …Yah …O-tay then. How's daddy? …Really? Cool. Well g2g. Got class in five minutes …K. bye." She pressed a button on her phone and took of the earphones before continuing with her work. "What is it Harry?" She said in a tired fashion. "Er, Noting it's just that, It's Saturday …We don't have class on Saturday."
"In Japan we do; and it's Sunday there." Rosa said without looking up. "Anything else you need?". Harry shook his head before sitting down and watching her work. He glanced at the top sheet of paper in front of him before his glance turned into a confused stare. "What language is this?" He asked himself in surprise causing Rosa to look up from her flurry of righting. "Le'me see that." She said as she gently took the paper. She stared at the paper a bit surprised before shrugging and placing it back down. All the while muttering, "At least no one can read it."
"Rosa," Harry said in an self-assuring tone. "I'm pretty sure no one can read it, but …what is it?". Rosa looked up at him "Oh no, people can read it." she stated. "But most of them are dead."
"What is it though?"
"Ancient Egyptian"
"Nani?"
"You hang around me to much. You're turning Japanese"
"How do you know Ancient Egyptian! That language it dead!"
"A friend or two taught it to me"
"Who?"
"Well let's see," She began as she ticked off a finger for each name. "There's Yami, Malik …Isis, Rashid, … swear words from Marik and Bakura most definitely, and bits and pieces from Ryou and Yugi who where still learning at the time"
"That means …EIGHT PEOPLE?"
"Yup. Now if you don't mind, I'm doing research"
"On what Rosa?" Harry looked up to where the voice came from. Ron steadily walked down the stairs with Hermione fallowing in his wake. A large book in her hands. "Konnichiwa Hermione-chan. Ron-kun." Rosa said as she placed the, now, note filled notebook on the smallest pile and grabbing the next one from what seemed to be out of know where.
The two walked up and sat beside Harry. Each looking at Rosa's work. "What is this 'Mione?" Ron asked before he noticed the shock in her eyes. "This-Th-Th-This i-is …" She stuttered in surprise and excitement. "Yes Hermione-chan. It's Ancient Egyptian. But how'd you know?" Rosa asked. A bit curious as to how Hermione could notice the dead language right off the bat.
Hermione handed the pages to Rosa who put them back in there pile as she watched Hermione shuffle through the pages of her book. "Here it is!" Hermione said as she began to read out loud.
"A long time ago, when the pyramids where still young, Egyptian kings played a game of great and terrible power." She said. "Of these, shadow games erupted a war that threatened to destroy the world; Until a great and powerful Pharaoh locked the magic away. Imprisoning it within the mystical Millennium items. Not much is known about the pharaoh except that, that has been etched into a stone plate that is now in possession of the Ishtars who refuse to give any information to those who cannot read it. There are a total of 7 Millennium Items known and are thought to be a myth.
"The Millennium Puzzle, Key, Ring, Eye, Necklace, Scales, and the Staff. There has also been rumor of 2 more items among the official 7, but they are just rumors so says officials. It has been debated weather the Millennium Key is the Key or the Ankh"
"Liars." Rosa said randomly after Hermione was finished reading. "This is the truth Rosa. The book says so." Hermione said. Trying to reason with her friend. "What would you know about the Millennium Items anyway?" Ron asked curiously.
"Simple." Rosa stated as she continued her work. "What you've said, Hermione-chan, is true up to the point of the Ishtars. First off, they're the Sennen Items. The Puzzle, Key, Ring, Eye, Tauk, Scales, and Rod-"
"But what about the Necklace and the Staff?"
"The Tauk and Rod. The 'officials' are wrong. The other two are the Ankh and Scarab. The Sennen Key is the Key since the Ankh is a different item." She paused for a moment. "The Ishtars only give out information to individuals that serve a purpose in gathering the Pharaoh's memories. And just on the note, the Pharaoh's name is Atemu."
"But that still doesn't explain how you know about the items!"
"Let me finish. Malik and Marik Ishtar own the Rod, Shadi owns the Scales and Key, and Leah owns the Ankh. Ryou and Bakura own the Ring and the Eye while three people you three already know own the last three. And that's from 'Egyptian History 101' as daddy likes to call it." She said as she piled her papers and began to reread them thoroughly. Ron was still a little puzzled as to why Hermione had freaked out. Harry saw this and told his friend that the notes where in Ancient Egyptian.
"Rosa," Hermione sighed. She knew convincing Rosa was not something anyone could easily get away with. Rosa just smirked as she reached the end of her list and began mapping a trail on a map both physically and electronically. "Finally!" She sighed; catching the attention of everyone in the room. "Researching all night's finally paid off!"
"ALL NIGHT?"
)))))linelinelinelineline(((((
It had been a few days since The gang had found Rosa researching in the common room. Ok well maybe it was a week, but who cares. Almost the entire school was going home for the holidays that morning. But now it was time for breakfast. Tori and Fiamma where talking to Sue about the new Duel Monster cards that where coming out while Ron and Harry talked about Quiditch. Rosa was eating a cup of yogurt while feeding Lyins small pieces of bacon that he gobbled up happily.
The morning owls flew in to there owners. Hermione had gotten a copy of the Daily Profit and began to read through it while Cirrus circled Sue's head and Tasu nibbled at her owner's plate. She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned in her seat. "Ohayo Yugi-chan." She smiled. "Ohayo Rosa-chan." Was her reply. "Where's Yami?" Harry asked wanting to join there conversation.
"GET BACK HERE TOMB ROBBER!"
"NOT IN A MILLION YEARS PHARAOH!" A white haired male yelled as he ran through the Great Hall, soon reaching the staircase with Yami running after him along with a purple haired male holding a staff(Mahaddo).
Another white haired male, identical to the last one, walked in soon after with a black haired male with him. Rosa smiled before waving the two over. "Konnichiwa Ryou! Konnichiwa Mokuba!" Rosa smiled as the two ran over. "Konnichiwa Rosa." The two responded in union. The white haired man, everyone noticed, had a British accent. "What brings you here?" Rosa asked. "'Kura was getting board." Ryou said fallowed up by Mokuba saying, with a smile, "Nee-san(sp?) got worried." Rosa giggled before a question struck her. "Where is papa anyway?" It was then that she looked up at the table and had to refrain herself from killing something.
Seto was standing at the front table and was trying to talk to Dumbledore, but couldn't since there was a flock of girls around him. He looked to tired and stressed to handle it himself so there was the next best thing. Rosa sighed before standing and heading for the group. She took a deep breath and yelled "BACK OFF! HE'S TAKEN!" The hall fell silent before some Slytherin girl yelled back.
"By who!"
"My mother, that's who!"
"Proof!" The group yelled.
Rosa grumbled about stupid ditsy girls as she pointed at her father who was holding up his hand to show off the ring on his middle finger. The group groaned in disappointment as they walked back to there tables only to stand and head to the carriages since they where beginning to depart. Rosa pulled the skin right below her eye down and stuck her tongue out at the group as they headed back. Soon the hall was empty except for the few who where going to stay.
Rosa turned back around and gave her father a big hug. "Good to see you around papa." She smiled as Seto ruffled her hair affectionately before continuing to talk to Dumbledore. Rosa looked around at the others that where staying. The only ones that actually where staying consisted of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fiamma, Tori, Sue, Azote, Hex, herself, Andre, Jayson, two other Gryffindors that she recognized, Yami, Yugi, Both Bakuras, Mokuba, and her father.
'We're gonna have one packed Christmas.' Harry mused from the table. Everyone that was leaving had just left and he was getting tired of just picking of his food. When everyone was occupied, he stood and headed for the common room. About half way there, he decided to go to the roof instead. When he neared his destination, he sighed. He could finally be alone to think over things. There was the room of requirement, but he wanted to watch the sky. He decided he would be most comfortable laying down so he did.
His arms where behind his head, being used as a pillow, and his legs where crossed in casualty. He stared at the sky a bit before closing his eyes. Might as well take a little nap if you're on the roof. He shifted to a more comfortable position and soon slipped into a peaceful slumber.
)))))linelinelinelineline(((((
Draco entered the great hall and headed for the Slytherin table. He was going to be the only one there since Hex, Azote, and Jayson where going to sit over with the Gryffindors. He had wanted to stay at the school this Christmas for two reasons. One, his father would put him to work for Voldermort if he went back, and two, Harry was staying. It was around lunch when he noticed, as he looked for everybody else, that they where frantic …and Harry was missing.
He stood and headed for the group. "What's going on?" he asked. Only a few catching the concern carefully hidden in his voice. Hermione and Ron glared at him while Andre scooted closer to Jayson who, in turn, put his hand on Andre's shoulder for reassurance. "Harry's been missing since breakfast." Hermione said. Her concern for her friend greater in size than her grudge with Malfoy. "Come to think of it, You weren't here this morning either!" Ron shouted. "It wasn't him you two." Jayson said from his spot. "Yah." Andre concluded. "He was trying to get away from that devil woman(Pansy)."
"Ok guys," Rosa said as she walked back to the group. "I want you all to look for him k? Ron, Hermione, search the common room. Hex, Tori, Azote, Sue, Search the forest. Fiamma and Mokuba will search some classrooms, Ryou and Bakura have already started searching the dungeons, Andre, Jayson, Yami, and Yugi will search in other classrooms, while papa and I watch the halls."
Everyone nodded and parted for there designated search area. "Draco, I want you to search the roof." Rosa said before heading for her area. Draco, not having enough time to object, sighed and headed for the roof. All the while hoping said missing boy was ok. He reached the roof and looked around. The sight made his heart speed up. Harry was sleeping just a few feet in front of him with his glasses still over his eyes. He walked over and sat down beside the sleeping boy before pulling his legs up and hugging them to his chest while he rested his chin on his arms.
He glanced over at the boy and brushed the stray coal black strands out of his face. 'He looks so angelic' He thought as he carefully took Harry's glasses off so he could look them over(Though I don't know why he'd do that). When he was finished, he held them loosely in his hand. He looked at them for a few minutes before noticing a slight quiver as the body next to him curled up to stay warm.
Harry was wearing a red sweater with dark red and orange red zigzag stripes. On his waist was a pair of worn jeans with the leg cuffs worn to the point of raggedness. On his feet was a pair of white sneakers that where now a dingy brown and seemed to be a size to small and about to fall apart.
Draco instantly took off his robes and draped them over the shivering body which soon stopped shivering. He smiled before curling up in a small ball to store what little warmth he could. He could last in the cold for about an hour or so. He'd be fine.
)))))linelinelinelineline(((((
Harry awoke on a rough surface and remembered that he had fallen asleep on the roof. He sat up, shivered from the sudden cold on his upper body, and moved his hand over the roof tile to find his glasses. "Here." he heard someone say as his hand was picked up gently and placed on his glasses. 'Who's that?' he thought. He knew the voice, but couldn't pinpoint who it belonged to. "Thanks." He said as he placed his glasses on his head. He looked up at the person who had helped him and nearly dropped dead.
Draco was sitting down awfully close to him with his arms crossed over his knees and his chin resting on it. His was either blushing from embarrassment, or the cold. 'Wait …cold?' He looked down to his lap and fond Draco's robes before looking back at the blonde boy. His position was that of someone who was cold. Harry himself hadn't thought of going to the Gryffindor dorms to find his robes. He felt stupid. How could he forget something like that! He looked over at Draco to find any signs of cold.
The boy's skin was paler than usual while his usual slicked back hair seemed a little windblown and messy. The little he wore was a sweater, a pair of casual fit jeans, and shoes. His sweater was a light blue with a dark blue and Ice blue Zigzags running around his upper torso at the base of his sleeves and near the cuffs. As for shoes, they where a pair of black keds with Draco's name on the sole. His body was shivering as silently and discretely as possible while his lips had turned a faint blue in color.
Harry took the robes off and placed them over Draco's shoulders. Said boy looked up at the young Gryffindor. "Here." Harry sighed. "These are yours.". He sat back down and curled up in to a small ball. "Well, you could use 'em if you want." Draco mumbled. Harry shook his head. "No. There yours. Besides," He paused. Looking for the right words for his thought. "Why would you care about half blood like me?" Those words didn't hurt so much as he told them to himself as they would have been had his secret crush said them himself. But they still hurt. His eyes where focused on the roof tile between his feet as he desperately tried to think about something else besides the ice god beside him.
There was a quiet shuffling as Draco scooted so close to Harry that there sides had made contact. He placed the robes over there shoulders so that they both had protection from the cold. "Now we both can stay warm." Draco smiled as he hoped the boy who lived wasn't paying attention to his, now, cherry colored face. Harry himself was too busy trying to fight down his own reddening face and was losing horribly.
"Listen," Harry said frantically. "If this is some scam to-"
"I wouldn't do that"
Harry was thrown off by his frie - er - acquaintance's words. "But-"
"Look Potter," Draco sighed. "Whatever I've done in the past, all of it, I - I'm sorry." Harry just stared at the Slytherin boy in disbelief. "The traps, hexes, Name calling …all of it." He continued. "I never wanted to hurt you I just …didn't know haw to act." There was silence between the two. "Same here Malfoy. Same here." Harry sighed. A happy feeling having spurt through him upon learning his crush didn't hate him. "So, …are we friends?" Draco asked timidly. Harry nodded and smiled in the boy's direction. "Ya. Were friends. But from now on," He paused as he saw slight confusion in Draco's eyes. "From now on, you call me Harry." Draco visibly sighed in relief before responding with "Sure, but only if you call me Draco.". They both laughed as the snow started to fall.
They both shivered and looked at each other.
"Inside?"
"Yah"
They both stood up and walked back into the building. Draco took his robes back and draped them over his shoulders before heading back to the Slytherin dorms.
"See ya 'round Draco!"
"See ya 'round Harry!"
Harry turned as Draco's retreating figure vanished into the dungeons and headed for the Gryffindor tower. He walked through and was pushed to the floor by his best friends.
"Harry! I'm so glad you're ok!"
"We were worried 'bout ya mate!"(Guess who)
"Fine, fine. Now do me a favor and get off me!"
His two friends scurried off and helped him up before bombarding him with questions. "Guys, calm down!" He sighed. "I'm fine!". "It was Malfoy wasn't it!" Hermione asked. "What?" Harry asked. A bit shocked his friends thought that. "What do you mean?"
"We want to know if that ferret did anything to you Harry." Ron said calmly. Harry looked up at the two. "He didn't do anything. In fact, if he hadn't found me, I'd be frozen right now." They looked at him like he was crazy. "Y-Ya can't mean that mate,"
"I do. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to bed." He stood and headed for the dorms. "Hay Harry!" He looked down. "Go get Draco." It was Rosa. "We're going to serve hot coco and I'm sure you want him to join." Harry nodded before heading out of the common room and towards the Slytherin common room. He stood there. Finally remembering the big problem …he didn't know the password. He sighed and leaned against the wall where he slid to the floor. "Harry?" He looked over to the door that had opened. Draco's head had proceeded to poke through and stare at his new friend. "What are you doing here?"
"Rosa told me they where getting ready to serve hot chocolate and told me to go get you …and I don't know the password." Harry blushed at his stupidity and herd a chuckle from Draco as he walked over and helped him up. "Sure. Why not. I've been letting out a lot today so why not say I love chocolate?"
"You do?"
"Of coarse! Who wouldn't?"
"My aunt and uncle"
"They must bescrewed up people"
"They're also evil"
The two laughed and talked all the way to the common room where Harry was stopped from saying the password by the portrait opening and two girls walking out and dragging them in. They where set free as soon as the portrait closed, stood up, and proceeded to wipe off the dust and dirt they had gained.
"Here ya are." Rosa said as she handed them two steaming mugs before heading back to her corner where she began mapping something out. "What in the world could be so important that you write you're research in a dead language?" Harry asked himself from on the couch he and Draco now occupied. "Whadda ya mean?" Draco asked. His attention being drawn to how much warmer it was in the room.
"I found Rosa the other day researching something. I couldn't figure out what it was though"
"Why not?"
"She wouldn't tell me or anyone else and her notes where written in Ancient Egyptian"
"Is such a thing even possible?"
"Seems so"
The two looked around some more. Rosa, as you know, was sitting in her corner while mapping, Hex and Tori where sitting on a wooden beam near the ceiling along with some animals, Azote and Sue where idly chatting on the bottom step of the stairs, Andre and Jayson had seemed to fall asleep and where snuggling together in sleep, Fiamma was sitting on the floor dangerously close to the fire with Lyins, Mokuba was playing checkers on Seto's laptop, Seto and Ron where playing a game of chess, both saying they'd never lost(at this game anyway), Hermione was watching, Bakura and Yami had gotten into another argument while Yugi and Ryou tried to calm them down.
)))))This-line-is-not-a-change-of-scene-but-is-something-else(((((
There where two other girls in the room too. Neither was recognized either. They where battling with the Duel monster cards on the floor near Rosa. The first one was about 5'5"(165 cm) in height and had shoulder length dark brown hair and bright blue eyes. She wore a long sleeved greeen shirt with a black, short sleeved shirt over that with the words 'Don't hate me 'cuz I'm beu-ti-ful, hate me 'cuz your mate thinks so' in a bold, sand-like, green text. Her jeans where low rise and where rolled up at the ankle for being to long while on her feet was a pair of green ankle socks. Around her neck was a black, wooden cross on a gold chain and on her left ring finger was a fake-y green ring.
The other girl had long black hair with red and silver tips that was held back in a bed ridden braid. Her eyes where gold, which creeped Harry out, and held a certain tolerance for things yet, also held a childish nature. She was wearing a black, short sleeved shirt that said 'I liv in my own little world, but dat's o-tay. Ppl no me dare' in a short hand ice blue text, with an ice blue long sleeved shirt under that. Her jeans where identical to the other girl's except for the fact it had no pockets and had more belt loops while her ankle socks where ice blue with black swirls in random places. Around her neck was a golden Ankh on a thick braided rope, that glimmered.
Both girls wore black wrist bands on each wrist with names on them in a specific color. The girl wearing green had the name 'Tashie-chan' in bold green while the girl wearing the ankh had the name 'Leah-kun' in ice-blue.
"But that doesn't count!" the brown haired girl yelled. "Yea-huh!" The other girl replied.
"But my Harpie's Pet Dragon is waaayyyyy stronger than you're Dark Magician Girl!"
"Not when I have three Mahaddo's in the grave yard"
"Well it's not over yet!"
"Well, I attack you with Mahaddo and you lose your last two life points. I win"
"NOOOOOOOOO!" The brown haired girl screamed which caused everyone to hold there ears. "Geez! Calm down woman!" The second girl yelled. She seemed shaken up and was clasping her hands over her ears to keep them from falling off. "At least I'm not taking you're Mahaddo card."
"You'd better not!"
"I just might now that you've damaged my ears for the rest of eternity!"
"Hay!" Everyone looked at Rosa who had spoken up. "Leah, Tashie, what are you two doing here? You're supposed to be in Virginia.". "We went on a field trip." Tashie said. "Yeah. We sneaked out and ran here so we could defeat the enemy from a safe distance."
"And just who is the enemy hmm?"
"All or current?"
"Current."
Leah and Tashie nodded in unison before pulling out a small box like object with a screen and wires coming out of the side. Leah pressed a button on her copy of two remote controls and a picture appeared. It had Pansy walking around in a dark forest all alone. "Hello?" TV Pansy said to the darkness. Tashie and Leah looked at each other and nodded before pressing two red buttons simultaneously and where Pansy was standing, was a black bomb mark and steam rising from the site from whence the boom was herd.
All of a sudden, there was a crash as the window burst open and tens of thousands of pirates came barging in. They started to kill off everybody and the leader was a dirt covered man in old 16 century clothes with a monkey in pirate clothes on his shoulder. Very soon the roof blast off and the moon shone down on the pirates to show that they where walking skeletons. Soon a man with dread locks and also wearing pirate gear came barging in with a bottle of rum and began to fight the man with the monkey. They fought with cutlasses and, even though the man and the monkey had been stabbed several times, they neither died nor bled. Suddenly the scene change to a more -err ...different scene with Draco being the only there besides Harry himself.
Since when has Harry's life been this weird?
)))))linelinelinelineline(((((
Draco sighed and looked around. It had been a little while since Harry had brought him into this unfamiliar common room. Nearly ten hours to be exact. It was a little past midnight now. Ron had to be stunned and dragged of to bed before he hurt Draco for most likely being in the same room as him. Hermione had watched Ron be pulled up the steps before casting a slightly worried look at Harry and heading up to the girl's dorm. Hex had carried a sleeping Tori up afterwards fallowed by Azote who was helping balance an almost asleep Sue. Yami and Yugi headed back to there room with Ryou, Bakura, Seto and Mokuba behind them seeing as there where, more than one room in that certain corridor. Fiamma had fallen asleep by the fire and was carried to bed by Andre who was fallowed by Jayson.
That ranged from 8:30 to 11.
Draco suddenly became aware of the unfamiliar weight on his left side. He looked over to find a sleeping Harry snuggled up to his arm using his shoulder as a pillow. Draco thanked the gods that no one was there to see his face that red. There was the sound of muffled footsteps and a quiet chuckle. Draco paled.
Rosa was still in the room.
He watched in Horror as Rosa stood and walked over to sit on the loveseat in front of the couch. "He looks so cute when he's asleep doesn't he?". "Whadda ya mean? He's cute all the tim-" Draco stopped as he suddenly realized what he had just let slip pass his lips. Rosa chucked again. "Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me." She said as she made an invisible cross over her heart with her finger before standing and heading up the stairs. "Oyasumi Draco." She said before disappearing down the dorm hall.
Draco sighed out loud before moving so he was a little more comfortable. He now half lay, half sit on the couch with Harry in front of him with his back facing his front. He tensed as Harry rolled over and snuggled up against him. His heart sped up at the mere closeness. He hesitantly placed his arm over the small boy before tensing a little more when Harry snuggled into him. It took a minute for his heart to slowdown, his body to loosen up and for his blush to reside and for it all to be replaced with a pleasurable warmth.
Something ha hadn't felt for the longest time.
He tightened his grip on the sleeping boy and smiled before falling into a light sleep.
)))))linelinelinelineline(((((
(An hour later in the girl's dorms ...)
"Are you sure it's them? Are you sure it isn't something else?"
"Think Hermy-chan, who else could it be?"
"Well …"
"Exactly." Rosa said as she typed something in on her computer. She and Hermione where the only ones up and where both in there pajamas. They where both sitting on Rosa's bed as said girl told the story while Hermione braided Rosa's hair. Hermione sighed with a great amount of confusion even though it was starting to make sense. She had often caught Harry staring at the blonde Slytherin whenever they where in Potions. Many times she didn't bring it up since, on previous inquiries, he had answered with 'I was just staring into space is all,'. That was weird since he always had his eyes on the icy eyed boy.
"What?" Rosa asked. "You didn't think Harry-kun swung that way?"
"No, no, no! It's not that! It's just … why Draco?"
"He's a good kid with a bad past pushed on him. Hell, I'd be after him if I didn't have somebody else in mind"
"Who's that Rosa?"
Hermione waited, but Rosa never answered. She was about to ask again when Rosa said "Thorn."
"What?"
"Thorn. A friend of mine I've known sense that day in Gulf Breeze Hospital. She was always nice to me …"
Hermione sighed as she finished Rosa's braid. The girl always seemed to be lost in thought at even the weirdest times. It was always the same incident. Whenever someone mentioned 'yin and Yang' or 'Roses' or something like that, she would always stare off into space.
Yugi had caught her one time in class and told her to see him after class. Hermione had purposely let all her things fall to the floor as an excuse to stay and listen in. "you ok Rosa?" he had asked with a worried tone. She had nodded and replied with "Hai." Which Hermione herself had thought meant she felt high before asking her what it meant. Glad that she had only replied with a simple 'Yes' in what Hermione thought was her native language.
"Rosa … who's Thorn?"
Rosa's dream-like look broke into a frown as she came back from the deep caverns of memory. Hermione mentally kicked herself for saying what she said. Her mouth had acted before her mind had. Rosa's hand reached up an absentmindedly rubbed against the cold texture of the blood-red earring on her right ear. Hermione gasped and moved to her bed as it began to glow with a black aura.
Rosa stood and walked out with a blanket in her hands. She came back soon after with nothing; having placed the blanket over Harry and Draco's sleeping forms. As she walked back in, Hermione thought she heard a sniff. "Rosa," She asked. "Why is you're earring glowing -err …black?". Rosa continued to lay down in her bed and closed the curtains surrounding it and answering with two simple words.
"Shadow Magic"
)))))linelinelinelineline(((((
Thorn sighed as she sat on her soul room's bed. She had been picked up by a Deatheater near Hogwarts and was waiting for the arrival of Voldermort who was going to attack soon. She felt oddly close to someone. :;Come out;: Came a dark voice. Thorn sighed and exited the scarab only to be standing in front of Voldermort with a look of emotionless and boredom in her eyes. She thought she saw him flinch.
"We attack in a week." He said. "You are to kidnap a girl at the ssschool and kill her. If you fail to do thisss, you will be locked up for all eternity. I will make sssure of it." Thorn just kept staring. She would not look away from his eyes. She refused to. It made her feel like she was taking control and someday she would be able to get out of her binds which he held. And besides, she wouldn't look at the Scarab. She couldn't bare the site of the one object she had been attached to for five thousand and sixteen years on such a foul and manipulating man.
"What's my target?"
She needed to know if they where of any value. The past few victims, she had over herd, Had been decadents of the previous item holders. She was sure they would attack Yugi or Bakura or Malik at one of these times. They would get what they deserved. Trying to take the shadows from the item holders and the deserving owner was a crime that deserved worse than death. Bakura knew this from experience.
Thorn wouldn't let them get away with this. "Yesss. Your target …". Thorn Couldn't believe how fast the snake was turning into a snake. She'd have to tell Ceichi about this. The snake pulled out a photo and handed it to the girl. Thorn dropped in shock. Oh, he was getting it now.

(A/N:) Well, this is done! Sorry for the long wait. Once I finished something I was unsure what to write next …That and the fact that I've been writing other stories when I had new ideas spring into my head …I don't know if I should post them seeing as I hardly get any reviews for my current stories. How about I give you the summaries and you review and tell me which ones to put up? I'll also tell you now that they all have yaoi. I just cant help it. It's what I write. They will also be PG-13 in rating since that's all I know how to write. O kay so, here are tha summaries.
Title: Angevals
Series: Yu-Gi-Oh!

Pairings: BxR centric, YxY, MxM, and a couple of my OC's
Warnings: Yaoi, Yuri, slight AU, Ryou beatings ;sobs;
Summary: When Yami, Yugi, Mali, and Marik walk in on one of Ryou's more severe beatings, Ryou sleeps longer than expected and awakens as soon as night falls. Something's different about Ryou. Something not even Bakura knows. And who's this little kid that seems to know Ryou quite well? And why does she call him 'Uncle'?

Ok. I also write het. So sue me. 'Uncanny Meetings' will be, sad to say, the only story without Yaoi. ;sniff; I know. Horrible ain't it? Plz review! I know I've been slacking off …, but I think this chapter's extra long! A full 11 pages of crossover goodness! I'll try and update soon!
Plz Review! ;gives sad puppy dog eyes;
