Harry Potter, the Half Blood Prince, and the Order of the Shadows
Summary: (HPxYGO) Based on the sixth book (Slight AU). Yugi, Ryou and Malik have been transferred to Hogwarts from Japan's Takazumiryu Magic School to be representatives of Japan in Hogwarts. As the members of the OotS they plan to find out more about Voldemort...
Disclaimer: I do not own any thing of YGO and HP in this fic (or food/drink merchandise or anything that are commonly known)...only part of the plot and OCs...parts of the text truly belong to J.K.Rowling from the book of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (I'll tell which parts)...
I'll put this note on every chapter:
Yamis mind link -((text))-
Hirkaris mind link -(text)-
Parts form the 6th book or any HP book -text-
Any Japanese will have a translation next to it or somewhere in the same chapter.
AU notes: Here's the 4th Chapter done and ready! To tell you the truth… when I posted the 3rd chapter I was already halfway through… And still I had to watch Ocean's 11 again…
The name of the movie Ocean's 11 comes from the leader named Daniel Ocean (Acted by George Clooney). Since it was his 11 members of expert thieves who stole from 3 CASINOS in Los Vegas in one night thus it was named Ocean's 11. In my fic it's called Bakura's 7 because it's Bakura's band of expert thieves of seven members. Why seven? Lucky magic number seven…
PLUS NOTE: I've seen many people's best sites in YGO on their profiles, but I haven't seen my favorite site there yet. If you want to go to a really awesome fan site I suggest going toIt's the best site so far that has the most detailed summaries of the Orichalcos anime series (even they have a complete pictures of each episode!). And for any fan of YGO the fan art selection is great! I mean for Seto fans there's like 202 or something fan arts of him! And even more on Yami and Yugi! Wallpapers, deck info, manga scans and other stuff are also complete! A Thailand guy who has a friend in Japan is running the site. That's why the site is very up-to-date. Don't worry about the language; most of it is in English. There may be spelling or grammar errors there but if you look at the whole site he and his group who runs the sight are very hard working YGO fans. (The latest anime series goes into YGO GX) So if you got the time, please visit the site!
For the feedback to the reviewers… like I mentioned in my last chapter they're all going to be at the end of the chapter from now on. Well enough of me… to the story!
Enjoy!
Chapter 4: The Gathering (Part Three) 'Bakura's 7': Executing 'Operation Big Steal'…
---------------------------------------
London, United Kingdom
At the Top of Visitor's Entrance to the Ministry
11:30 AM (Local Time)
---------------------------------------
Both Ryou (business wizard holding a brief case), Ethan (invisible) had been cloaked by the hologram make-up disguise, while Steven used his own specialty of disguising himself as wind. In a neighborhood full of shabby-looking offices, a pub and overflowing skip they went into an old red telephone box that was missing panes of glass which stood before a heavily graffitied wall.
It was very stuffy (since the hikari and Ethan were both inside together), but Ryou quickly closed the telephone box and pushed the numbers in a sequence. 6…2…4…4…2…and as the dial whirred smoothly back into place a cool female voice was heard from the telephone box.
"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic. Please state your name and business."
"I'm Jason Nixon; I have international trading business on Chocolate and Sweets." Ryou said smoothly.
"Thank you," said the cool female voice. "Visitor, please take the badge and attach it to your robes."
The metal chute where returned coins usually appeared rattled and popped out a square silver nametag. It read Jason Nixon, Chocolate and Sweets International Trading Business. Ryou pinned it on his shirt and heard the female voice again.
"Visitor to the Ministry, you are required to submit to a search and present your wand for registration at the security desk, which is located at the far end of the Atrium."
Soon, the inside of the telephone box sunk into the earth and made its way down. About a minute they were already inside the ministry.
-((Take nice big breaths, Ryou))- the tomb robber said.
-(Alright)- Ryou nodded at his yami and tried to convince himself. Though he was actually thinking, how did I get myself into stealing?
"The Ministry of Magic wishes you a pleasant day."
Ryou went out and muttered under his breath, "Good luck, you two will need It.", without looking at them and went into the long and highly polished dark wood hall of the ministry.
The door of the telephone box closed. Ethan quickly dialed another number, 7…4…5…2…0…1… and the telephone box rattled again.
"Proceeding to Secret Level," the female voice said this time.
Ethan and Steven only hoped that Bakura and Ryou would get both of the items. Now they had to focus on stealing Scrimgeour's ministry files…
---------------------------------------
Inside the Ministry of Magic
The Visitor's Entrance
11: 45 AM (Local Time)
--------------------------------------
Ryou was doing much of the acting as a tradesman, asking for a few directions at the information desk and soon he walked far in to the end of the Atrium. As he walked he looked at both sides of the hall. There were fireplaces on each side (for Floo powder), the left for arrivals and the right for departure. Only on this special day there were more arrivals than departures it made the hall seemed so packed. There was also a basketball-sized crystal ball that was in front of a large screen. Maybe it worked like a movie projector… It seemed Scrimgeour wanted everyone to know he succeeded Fudge. He walked on and Ryou finally got to the end of the hall.
"I'll check your wand sir." Adrian said when Ryou got to the security desk.
Ryou took out an old looking wand (it wasn't his) from his pocket and gave it to Adrian. The security desk person put the wand on a brass scale, after it was weighed a narrow strip of parchment out of the slit base.
"Nine inches, dragon-heartstring core, had been used for 26 years, correct?" Adrian asked.
"Yes," Ryou acted brightly.
"Here's your wand, pleasant day to you." He gave the wand back to Ryou with tiny note slipped into his hand.
When Ryou was out of the security desk's sight and Adrian who had just switched with another security guard, he opened the note…
-------------------------------
'Ryou, Bakura, the Speech starts at 12:40 PM not 1: 00 PM, twenty minutes earlier! I've told Nash about it, he'll pass the news on to everyone else. You'll have to be quick to make the transaction and stealing on level nine. Adrian.'
-------------------------------
-((Great, less time for me to steal! Hurry hikari!))- The tomb robber urged.
Ryou went straight to one particular lift (which he coded) of the twenty lifts and entered. No one was in it. He looked around to make sure no one was looking and put an 'Out of Order' sign outside. He pressed the button to the fifth floor. And the lift moved down.
'This is Ryou, over." Ryou pressed the translucent sticker camera slightly.
"I hear you loud and clear, over" Nash responded.
"Have you got every floor cloaked with an 'Out of Order' sign on it?" Ryou asked
"I've done it, all cloaking devices are online. They'll see you coming out of another empty lift which I synchronized its move with yours." Nash said. They had put the translucent sticker camera on every lift three days ago so that Ryou looked like he never used the coded lift.
"Good, how's everyone else?" Ryou asked.
"In position, Adrian is heading towards the main hall where the speech takes place with Justin and other security guards. Most of the guests are already in the hall. Lenny is in the PM office with Scrimgeour getting ready. And Steven has taken down all nine of the security guards with his 'Sleeping Wind' spell. Ethan's already on the files." Nash reported.
-((Nox is quick. We better hurry too.))- Bakura commented.
"Alright then, everything's all according to plan. This is Ryou signing out, over," the hikari ended the connection.
Now they were on the first target, the Unknown Prophecy of Destiny.
"Level Five, Department of International Magical Co-operation, incorporating the International Magical Trading Standards Body, International Magical Office of Law and the International Confederation of Wizards, British Seats," the lift announced.

11: 50 AM (Local Time)
-------------------------------------
Ryou exited out of the lift finding a hologram of him coming from a lift next to him and walked into it and merging him with it. To a normal person it would look that Ryou had came out of one lift. He went straight to the International Magical Trading Standards Body Office, which also had a crystal ball pointing to a screen. Now it was clear that every floor must have one. He then quickened his pace to the desk closest to the exit on the left where a bald wizard was sittingBut next to the desk was another desk that had the Unknown Prophecy of Destiny, a Medallion shaped seal in an opened suitcase.
"Mr. Perkins, I'm Jason Nixon from Wizarding Tasty Chocolate and Sweets Co. in Switzerland I'm here to make a transaction from my employer Mr. Redwood. He wishes to sign you these parchments." Ryou acted fluently (after hours of practice at the sub base) opening his own suitcase and handed the papers to the ministry worker.
"Ah, yes. The papers are on time. Please sit down I'll check through this," Mr. Perkins said.
Ryou sat quietly as the wizard in front of him checked the papers and the got a thick folder out checking if the arrangements were legal. Of course thanks to Mr. Redwood himself, who was part of the OotS, this made a reason to visit the ministry much easier and less conspicuous. Especially that day there were many odd and unusual visitors from all over the world the world.
"All of this is legal. I'll get it signed straight away."
-((The clumsy worker should come in right now.))- Bakura said.
On cue, Darren, a clumsy worker was carrying a large pile of parchments that was over his head. It was going to tumble if he were not careful.
Ryou watched Darren from the corner of his eye. When the worker was just beside the desk to hold on support, Ryou flicked his finger, which was on his lap using some Shadow Magic in a way to make him trip and fall towards the desk.
And the Domino Affect happened. Darren fell on the desk and basically tipped the desk over sending down the prophecy with it.
"Darren! How can you be so clumsy?" Mr. Perkins shouted and sighed helping him lift the papers. There were other workers in the room who joined in.
Ryou also went to the floor acting helping picking up the papers. In a flash he swapped places with Bakura who then scurried around looking for the prophecy. When he saw it under a pile of paper he immediately snatched it and put it his cloak and at the same time replacing it with a 'fake' prophecy. Carefully he shoved more papers on top of it and went to the other side of the room picking up parchments as he went along. Five minutes later all the papers were on a neat pile and the 'fake' prophecy was back in the suitcase.
"You've dropped the prophecy five times so far! Please be careful next time!" Mr. Perkins warned. "Thank you Mr. Jason Nixon for helping." He thanked Ryou who was back in control.
"No problem," Ryou answered.
"Now, here are the legal papers, they're all signed. I'm sure Mr. Redwood would be happy." Mr. Perkins handed him the contracts and shook Ryou's hand.
"I'm sure he will be. Good day." Ryou smiled pleasantly.
"Good day to you as well Mr. Jason Nixon."
Ryou wasn't smiling pleasantly because the contracts were signed but rather there was a gladness the first part was over. He went back to the coded lift where he divided with his hologram that was going to the next lift.
"Nash can you hear me? Over," Ryou called to his only means of communication.
"I'm here, over. Have you got it?" Nash asked.
Ryou looked at the Medallion from his cloak and tested it with a tiny drop of Shadow Magic (They agreed not to use too much Shadow Magic). It did a slight flash.
"It's the original one! It reacted to Shadow Magic! I'm so glad I'm good in Transfiguration. I changed a brick into its perfect replica! Well that's one job over," Ryou sighed in relief.
"Good! Don't lose your focus. You still got the Prophecy Shards to steal. Everyone else is doing fine. All the guests are in the main hall and the Visitor's Entrance is packed with reporters and other people. You got about roughly 30 minutes to get ready to steal it." Nash explained.
"What? Thirty?" Ryou exclaimed. He looked to his watch, it was 12:10 PM. Collecting the papers took too much of his time.
"I've done un-synchronizing the lift next to you. It'll be up to Bakura fully to steal this one. Good Luck." The surveillance technician said.
"Thanks, it's all we need now. Ryou, signing out."
Bakura switch places with Ryou, turning to invisibility mode with the hologram make-up disguise. He slipped the nametag in his cloak and prepared himself.
"Level Nine. Department of Mysteries."

----------------------------------
Bakura went into a run; he had to get this one over and done with quickly since the Prophecy Shards was deep inside and it would at least take 10 minutes to get to the room. Now, he'd most likely try to do it in 5 to 6 minutes. If not the whole plan might have to change. He quickly made through the department (It was same thing as the simulation) dodging guards who were walking around (he's still solid) to where the prophecy was hidden. He panted and only thought of his destination… He then went into a walk, tired of going door to door. "Just one more turn and…"
Beep. Beep.
"Madam! Excuse me, Madam! What are you doing in here?" a security guard appeared behind him.
-(Madam?)- Ryou questioned. He looked at a mirror as they passed.
-((We're supposed to be invisible!))- Bakura exclaimed and took a left turn.
The beeping sound meant something unintentionally had happened…
-(Bakura, stop! Look onto the reflection of the water!)- His hikari cringed.
Bakura stopped and looked to a puddle of water caused by a broken ventilation shaft. His mouth gapped when he looked at…
'An old ugly wrinkled plump fat lady who was wearing 1950s pink wooly fashion wear…'
His hikari had a huge sweat drop on his head. Ohhhh…my…
-((Is that ME?))- The thief said still shocked at his reflection.
-(Of course it is BAKA! (Stupid) We're doomed! The disguise thing is broken!)- Ryou shouted at his yami.
Bakura pressed the hologram make-up disguise.
Click.
It didn't work.
Click. Click.
It didn't work again.
Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.
Nothing happened.
Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.
No reaction whatsoever.
-((Come on, you BAKA thing! Work Ra damn it!))- Bakura panicked.
"Madam, can you hear me?" the voice of the guard was coming closer... Then he turned left………..
-((Holy Shit…))-

--------------------------------------
Meanwhile, in Ethan and Steven's situation…
Ethan sat on the floor of the lift (still invisible), annoyed like hell.
He succeeded in stealing the files without being caught.
He had the files in his hand.
All the guards were taken out and tied.
They could finally finish the horrendous task of going through a labyrinth with TONS of codes.
He entered the lift gladly, because he went through FOUR DOZEN CURSES to get to the files.
Just when everything went too well...
'The lift decided itself to brake down on him.'
"Just BRILLIANT, at a time like THIS!"
Steven on the other hand was trying to make the lift work by jumping up and down the lift (in a solid wind form).
"Stop that! Are you THAT daft?" Ethan looked at the element master thinking he was abnormal.
"38…39…40… My lucky number is fifty. It should work." Steven said for a moment and went back to jumping harder on the lift.
"Yeah…Right…" the soul summoner rolled his eyes.
"48…49…50…" the element master stopped then he showed out three fingers to Nox and counted down…3…2…1…
"Ministry lift is operational. Please select which floor is your destination." The cool female voice said.
Ethan's jaw dropped to the floor.
Never…in his Professional Thieving Career…has he seen ANYTHING like THIS…
"So which floor, legendary Nox?" the Elemental Master mocked with a huge grin on his face.

"Madam, can you hear me?" the voice of the guard was coming closer… Then he turned left………..
He looked straight.
He looked back.
Then he looked down.
"What are you doing here?" the guard asked.

"Looking for you sir" Lenny the house elf said.
"Me? By the way did you see an old lady?" the guard asked.
"No, you haven't been drinking have you sir! The elf asked.
The guard was not happy and said' "Don't tell him I still drink!"
"Well you did see 'an old lady' when there isn't any here sir. The department is on a holiday sir! No old ladies here, only security guards. Master Scrimgeour will not be happy to hear this…" the elf sighed.
"Okay! I didn't see anything! What did you want with me anyway?"
"Mr. Scrimgeour requests your presence now in main hall sir." Lenny said.
"Don't tell him anything about me seeing hallucinations!" he warned the house elf and left.
The guard departed…
……………………………………………
……………………………………………
And a grumbling irritable voice was heard from up the ceiling…
"You- min- getting- me- down-…" the tomb robber growled.
Trying to say something while your face was literally stuck on the ceiling can be…err… difficult…
Lenny snapped his fingers.
'WHOMP!'
Bakura crashed to the floor…on his back… that's gotta hurt…
"Next- time- a little- softer…" Bakura groaned. His hikari on the other hand was laughing into tears in his soul room.
-((Shut up! This is your body anyway!))- the yami snapped.
-------------------------
So what basically happened was…
When Bakura nearly got caught…
Lenny happened to apparate there…
And sent him up the ceiling…
With a Wingardium Leviosa Spell…
--------------------------
Bakura got up (painfully) and looked at the elf. "At least I didn't get caught. Thanks. But not for the sending me up and the landing bit…" Bakura muttered.
"All a coincidence Bakura sir. Scrimgeour did request him." The elf said.
"How do you know who I am?"
"Your disguise is broken sir. (Bakura is back as Ryou's body) Lenny brought spare one for you sir." Lenny said handing over an extra hologram make-up disguise.
"Thanks again."
"Hurry Bakura sir, speech starts soon." Lenny warned.
"Crack!"
Lenny left them and apparated to the main hall.
Bakura switched on the hologram make-up disguise to invisible mode, dashed to through the hallway to the very last door on the very edge. He peeked into it. There were about six guards in total stuck in gossiping about Scrimgeour succeeding Fudge speech and the Prophecy Shards in the middle of the room. Unlike Steven who could do sleeping spells, Bakura used a flat metallic cylinder device which Nash called the slide'n'sleep, a very useful device that makes sleeping gas invisible. Since the all the floors in the ministry were so smooth all Bakura did was activate it, opened the door slightly and slide it just under their feet. He carefully closed the door. And he waited...
THUD... THUD...
That's two down...
THUD...
Three...
THUD, THUD.
Four, five... and the last...
THUD.
Six!
He opened the door... and voila! They're all dead asleep! He even poked all of them to make sure. They'll be out for 8 hours. Bakura took one of their wands with gloves on his hands and used it to tie them up and put them all in a net. Next all their wands (six of them) were tied together and were placed on the other side of the room. This way they can't reach it. After all it was finished, his eyes took on the Prophecy Shards. He then looked at his watch, 12:37 PM. The speech starts in two minutes...

Nash sighed in relief that Lenny had gotten in just in time...to send Bakura to the ceiling.
As for the soul summoner and illusionist they managed to make the lift work. (Nash couldn't believe Steven had fixed it by jumping up and down.)
As for Justin and Adrian, at least nothing bizarre had happened.
Everything was all set... Adrian, Justin and Lenny were in the hall. Bakura was ready in place to steal the Prophecy Shards. Steven and Ethan were in the Visitor's entrance waiting in position amongst the crowd who were watching the screen. The illusionist opened the back door of the van and looked at the Large M-Put Outer that was on top an extension trailer connected to the van, hidden in a huge box covered with a heater picture. Through a hole made on the box, he switched it on.
He entered inside the back of the van again and focused his eyes on the monitors. Thirty seconds to the countdown of the last minute. Nash looked to the switches and found the SOUND button for their communication on their translucent sticker cameras selected to 'ON'. He flicked the switch to 'OFF'. Giving advice with sound will most likely be overheard, so he went to the switch THOUGHT SPEAK and switches it 'ON'.
All right. Can everyone hear me? Over/ Nash called.
At the end of the line he heard six responses they could hear Nash.
/A one minute countdown/ The illusionist told everyone.
But Scrimgeour had other ideas; he had already started the speech. "Ladies and Gentlemen…"
/What! Change of plan! I repeat! Change of plan/ Justin called out.

Adrian couldn't help feel awkward as his eyes drifted from the crystal ball light on the ceiling to the new PM who was making his speech. Scrimgeour had changed most of the plans for the speech every moment; it was starting to show that some of his closest officials knew he changed it without telling them. Justin had called out change of plan through his mind. All he could do now was wait for another instruction.
/Calm down! Change to plan B. I'm already in front of the prophecy shards. Lenny, wherever you are, just activate the M-Put Outer when he says 'I have succeeded Fudge' in his vow/ Bakura said.
/Yes sir! Lenny in kitchen with other elves sir, watching his speech/
Ethan, here. I'm near translucent sticker S-2, G-3. Over /
/Steven, here. I'm next to translucent sticker P-4, X-1. Over /
/Adrian, here. I'm two meters away from new PM, over /
/Justin, here. I'm ready to instruct the other Aurors and law enforcements, over. /
/Nash, here. I've put a beacon to Steven and Ethan's location. All the holograms from the translucent stickers are operational. Bakura, make the stealing quickly! Justin, Adrian, act out your parts. Remember, the M-Put Outer lasts for two and half minutes. And Lenny, we're all waiting for you. /

Lenny waited happily. The other elves would think he was waiting his master to be the next PM. But Lenny was waiting to destroy Scrimgeour's important day. The house elf hung to every word his ex-master said. And behind his ragged pillow case clothes he had his hand on the Switch. Steven the other day had knitted a pocket to carry the switch without making any suspicions. Lenny, unlike the other elves was standing far in the back. Now the vow was on the screen…
"…I have succeeded Fudge…"
Lenny pushed the button…

On cue holograms of 'solid' Death Eaters came out shouting the killing curse…
The visitor's entrance went into chaos… screaming… crying… people running into each other…
Many tried the Lumos Charm or any spell to give them light… but no avail…
In the darkness the random witches and wizards who were hit by the green light fell one by one…
But behind all of that, it was Steven and Ethan making targeted witches & wizards faint. Ethan was now in his soul form, similar to Steven's wind form knocking out a ministry worker who got hit in the back by the green light.
Steven was enjoying the game, Nash instructed which wizard/witch should faint next and he made them faint with a 'nudge' behind the neck.
The element master smiled gleefully how the Daily prophet was going to react…

As the lights went out, the night vision contact lens started working. The thief could see clearly in the dark and he bet all his friends could too. Bakura dashed towards the Shards and looked at it. It had been broken into large ten pieces and lots of tiny specs of glass. The M-Put Outer had dismissed the permanent curses on the Shards for only two and a half minutes. He immediately took a small case from his pocket quickly and carefully putting each piece inside. The larger ones were easiest to do. But the small ones took longer. If he had left one tiny spec of the Shards, the prophecy won't function if it were fixed. He might as well do his best…
A bead of sweat went down his face…and kept inserting pieces of the prophecy into the case while he kept his eyes on the time ticking on his watch …

Justin leaded the Aurors to attack. At the same time he was still amazed how on earth Nash made them solid and makes them dodge spells while firing back fake killing curses. Lenny now disguised in an invisible hologram was on top of the crystal light ball that was turned off pointing and making people faint with the help of night vision contact lens. Adrian was by Scrimgeour's side, after saving him from a killing curse, Adrian acted to be his protector…

Bakura sighed that every single spec was in the case now… and checked for the last time he didn't leave anything. Satisfied, he zipped all his pockets and took out a short-distance teleportation device. He pushed the button and found himself near the lifts. But there were guards around. At a time like this they had to show up… As fast as he could Bakura let slide the sleeping gas device and waited as the guards went down.
Not bothering to tie them up, he swiftly took the device to one of his pockets and went through the lift door. Like the other Millennium item holders he had a specific ability and that was going through walls or solid surfaces. The lift wasn't operational, but it didn't mean it couldn't be used. This time Bakura flipped a cell phone out, pushed a special button and at the end two thin wires came out giving out energy. Kaiba had designed the phone that had enough power to charge an elevator. The lift moved towards the Visitor's Entrance.

When Bakura got to the Level, he deliberately broke the lift, put his silver square badge on and went through the lift doors. The place was in mayhem. It seemed his two 'nutty' friends here were enjoying themselves. As time ticked, the holograms of the Death Eaters started to make their way to the departure fireplaces. Bakura switched with Ryou this time and switch to his hologram 'business wizard' form. Ryou ruffled the hologram to make the disguise look he had been in all of the commotion. He then looked at his watch…
12: 46: 23 PM … Seven more seconds …
7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… 0
The whole ministry was on again.
Many 'fainted' bodies lay on the floor…
Ryou of course acted in front of people who were also worried and scared that it was his worst day visiting the ministry. So he made his way through the hall with a grumpy mood. Other wizards who shared Ryou's idea had used the lift of the telephone box too. This was the opportunity for Ethan and Steven to get out.
Afterwards, Ryou got in the red telephone box and left the ministry himself with no trouble…

Lenny was found 'cowering' behind an Auror, so his ex-master was not too happy and ordered him to get out and not see him until tonight. Lenny did so with no question. He didn't want to show how happy he was to ruin the new PM's day.
Adrian, who had saved Scrimgeour's life, got himself excused by the PM himself, as a reward he could have the day off. He left quietly through the 'red' box.
Justin on the other hand got a job spying if there were any Death Eaters around the muggle areas above the ministry, he will follow them. The Auror disappeared into the streets…
Nash who now knew everyone had left safely, driven his van away singing along with the song 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' on his radio into town…

My favorite part… Bakura's hologram brakes and turns him into 'An old ugly wrinkled plump fat lady who was wearing 1950s pink wooly fashion wear…' (Laughs evilly)… and the ending of course…celebration in the most renowned caffeine café 'STARBUCKS'… (My personal favorite is the ice coffee mocha)
I don't know why the soccer Team AC Milan won all a sudden (or actually came up in the fic)… I guess I heard it too often from my friend who's really obsessed with AC Milan… Trust me when she (yes a girl…) talks about the Italian League soccer, there's no way stopping her mouth… I guess nearly everyone can relate to that (going to STARBUCKS that is!) …
To gohan/videlgoten/trunkslover:
Here's the update of the new chapter! Hope you enjoyed it! On updating chapters it'll most likely take at least 4 days (that's if I have a weekend to write it) or about one week and a half. It depends on the content of the story though. If it's important, I usually check it over and over. Reviews can or might affect what I might write. So I'm welcoming anyone if they have any ideas or opinions about the fic. Maybe you can make a difference, eh? Hope you keep reading this fic!
To GG7989:
'Royal Order'? I wasn't really expecting that… hehe… I guess they kind of look 'royal' in a way (Chuckles)… 'Professional Royal Thieves'… Yep, thief vacation for Bakura. And I bet his thieving skills went all rusty after battle city and all, so it needed to be re-polished when he gets to Hogwarts. Ocean's 11 is a good movie to watch if you want to get thieving ideas, it's very precise and comical. I've noticed in your profile you haven't made a fic yet. Not that I'm forcing you to. I mean, for me I kept on reading YGO x HP and other fan fiction for two years without writing my own fic. Trust me; I only reviewed other people's fics. (Yes, this fic is my very first!) There's nothing wrong about taking it slow. Well, for me I found it really worthwhile. From reading other fan fiction you can grasp many ideas, experience, different plots, and find your own 'identity' as a writer. From there you can even find your own original fic. It's longer than I thought it would take, but the process and journey is priceless. Just an advice from me as a 'fellow writer' (and to everyone else who's reading this), I hope you can make great fics as well! Thanks for reviewing!
To Setoglomper:
Yes, Bakura steals! And he succeeds! About the 'having the giant plot bunny for my story hang over a boiling pot of hot dogs' never mind, as a writer it's not easy (even at times, hard) making a palatable plot. I noticed that when I was writing this fic. Especially, when it's based on the sixth book. There are many things I want to put in, but I know I have to respect a few happenings of what J.K. Rowling made because it happened in the book. Reality hurts, I know. Short or very short, every review is worthwhile for me to reply at my best ability. Um... btw... thanks for putting this fic in your favorite stories on your profile (bows). I'm honored. I guess my next aim would be one of your favorite authors! I'll try my best! I hope you can contribute more ideas or opinions! Thanks a lot for reviewing again!
