AU notes:
Hey…I'll have to admit this chapter is pretty darn late…sorry for the late update. It's kind of hard what to put in they were going to Diagon Alley. Especially I made some notes that I tried not to interfere too much with the main story line.
Oh yeah, there's an additional note on the 'every chapter note' above, that emails, articles or flash backs will be begin and end with Text for your comfort. Since I found many people complaining it, I changed the story format a bit but I'm happy at least many told me about it. But I'm definitely not going to stop this fanfic that I can assure you. Chapters might be updated quite late but in return I'll make them longer. This chapter for example is about 6000 words without the AU Notes or the feedback of reviews.
Enough of me… On with the story!
Enjoy!
Chapter 6: The Infiltration
--------------------------------------
London, United Kingdom
Inside a Limo heading to a branch of Kaiba Corp. in London
Morning (Local Time)
--------------------------------------
Seto Kaiba sipped his coffee while his right hand blurred typing across his laptop on a business transaction in London. Morning traffic had occurred, not that the CEO minded since in his own country morning traffic was far from 'normal'. As for his younger brother, Mokuba was hooked playing a videogame that was installed in the limo. And lastly, his 'darker self' in spirit form was sitting next to Mokuba from time to time giving hints and advices how to beat a boss.
Seto had to admit, his 'family' yet had another extension with the coming of his yami. The yami was annoying when he wanted everything in his own way, but in contrast Seth had always looked out for Mokuba when the CEO was busy in business meetings. Well, at least his darker half called him by name, not that Seto would tolerate being called a 'hikari'. In a way, Seth represented much of the CEO's personality which surprised Seto. One of them being to negotiate with very stubborn stock holders and businessman effortlessly and when the CEO was in a dead end of an agreement the former priest would give advice which made more sense than his own advisors. Also, Seth had a large curiosity for gadgets sometimes reading new thick text books on electronics or simply by watching how Seto worked.
When he first received his yami, Seto felt violated and furious when the yami took over his body without permission. It was like losing his independence to do what he wanted. But as time went by… Seto learned how to tolerate his yami. And that was with the help of Minori…
Minori Lorenzo, a half Italian and Japanese architect and the first girl Seto had loved.
Much like Seto, she was young, talented and like many successful people, ambitious in achieving a goal. But what made her different from Seto was her cheerfulness. Somehow she was able to make Seto feel his own feelings again before he was ever adopted by his stepfather. She also understood what it was like to work for a large company. Even though later Seto was able to tolerate his yami, his yami wasn't listening to him. For that one, Kisara stepped in and so nothing of trouble happened since then.
So much for being a Millennium item holder… And quite recently, a wizard.
Magic? That was probably the most unexpected thing that was considered as 'fact' in the world of business, economy and more or so technology. When he first got his letter to a magic school... he had said 'the world had gone insane', but now… it was more of 'the world makes more sense'. There was some sort of gladness in the CEO he had been accepted to the Japan's Takazumiryu Magic School than Hogwarts. The school in Seto's opinion was far 'modern' than the best of magic schools like Hogwarts. Also, he respected the headmaster, Professor Ryu for comparing and combining 'magical aspects' with 'science'. It wasn't an easy thing to do in a world where most wizards were clueless about muggle objects, but in the end even the students of pureblood families in Japan found muggles were special in their own way. But the most important thing was at least he wasn't separated from any technological devices, he wouldn't know what to do then or more accurately he wouldn't survive if there were no laptops around.
---------------------------------------
London, United Kingdom
Kaiba Corp branch in London
Morning (Local Time)
---------------------------------------
Seto, Mokuba and Seth made their way from the car park to the entrance of the lift with the 'two' body guards. One of them was Isono the right-hand man, Seto's most faithful bodyguard and secretary who refereed the final duels of Battle City. The other was Nash from the Illusionists, who Seto recently taken under his wing in KC. The technician certainly had taken Seto's attention with his skills, thus Seto had welcomed him to KC to be his left-hand man for his specialty in surveillance systems.
That morning would've been a usual one, that's when Seto felt an odd presence around the parking lot. The CEO looked to his yami who seemed to felt the same thing. One thing for sure both the former priest and the CEO knew that there was a magic signature of two wizards behind the limo they were in that was ten meters away from them…
"Isono, take my briefcase in my office. Mokuba, I want you and Nash, go to the surveillance room now." The CEO gave a direct command.
Isono was slightly confused with his master's immediate order, but he was wise enough not to go against the CEO's order. For Mokuba and Nash they knew something from the magic world was here right now. All of them quickly walked towards the elevator, Mokuba only gave his older brother a 'be careful' look and followed the two bodyguards. All was left now was Seto and Seth in the parking lot.
-((Death Eaters))- Seth stated.
Seto nodded, the magic signatures were threatening and dark.
-(To the metal waste room. It's easier to handle things there.)- The CEO suggested.
-((Agreed.))-
--------------------------------------
Metal Waste Room
KC Branch in London
--------------------------------------
Marty followed the muggle CEO with a few of his fellow Death Eaters, planning to put an Imperious Curse on him as soon as possible. The Ministry had expected they would target the muggle government officials, so the Death Eaters now had to lay low. But it didn't mean they were going to sit and do nothing. The Dark Lord had ordered that anyone that had a large influence in the muggle world would be perfect targets to strike fear into the Ministry of Magic. So basically right now they were targeting Seto Kaiba from Kaiba Corp, a multi billionaire CEO at the age of a teenager.
The other Death Eaters who had joined Marty from the gardens were now starting to get impatient of showing themselves, but Marty did not allow them. For this plan was crucial, so they could achieve a higher status from the Dark lord himself. If they didn't use this opportunity, it'll be waste of time and effort or more accurately failure wasn't really an option in the dark lord's view.
But so far the muggle had sent them on a wild goose chase, as the CEO descended to many doors and stairs through the KC Branch, and where ever he went the place was filled with people. If they were going to get the so famous stubborn young CEO to obey their orders of an Imperious Curse, they had to make sure he was alone. It seemed as though the muggle had trapped himself by visiting a Metal Waste room of unused and broken machinery, large metal leftovers from cutting material, and chunks of motherboards. The Death Eater somehow felt everything was going too easy for them. Was there a reason? Or was this pure luck? But now it was time… to control the CEO…
The Death Eaters surrounded Seto…
The CEO only looked at Marty coldly. In a Duel, the best tactic to go against an opponent was to have an emotionless face; from there they can't what you're thinking of. This duel not only applied just in Duel Monsters, but in wizard duels as well. Seto didn't seem to mind the Death Eaters showed their emotions. The Death Eaters were power hungry which meant they could kill him, but behind that they were also impatient 'a tiny crack that could destroy a building' as Minori would say or to be more precise a weakness.
"Well if isn't a lousy muggle inventor." One of the Death Eaters mocked as he walked hungry for the kill towards Seto.
"A lovely one to take control of", another Death Eater added.
"What do you want!" the CEO glared at all five of them.
The third Death Eater laughed. "Marty, the poor filthy muggle is clueless."
But the fourth Death Eater at the back said nothing.
"You know what we're here for, your influence, your power but most of all… the control of your body." Marty smiled at the CEO.
"I'd like to see a pig like you try." Seto shot back calmly.
"You pathetic muggle! You'll pay for this!" the first Death Eater was furious and shot an Imperious Curse.
All the other Death Eaters joined in...Except the fourth.
But before they knew it, their spells were deflected back to the floor...by chunks of metal floating in the air that now hovered in front of the CEO. Seto only smiled. Like Yugi, Ryou, and Malik he also had a special ability, and he was willingly to try it on the Death Eaters...But the dark lords underlings only gaped at the CEO who they thought was a normal muggle. But now they were angry. And according to Seto there was a large chance of using torture spell to the victim. But there was also a chance he would be welcomed to join them...or to die in their hands...
"You're no normal muggle after all. How about you join us?" Marty offered.
"And if I don't?"
"You'll be a corpse." Marty snapped.
'Yup... the wondrous mathematics of probability works in the oddest situations...' Seto thought as he rolled his eyes.
But suddenly the whole room turned to darkness. Now they were in the Shadow Realm. The former priest appeared hiding in the darkness and was smiling evilly as the Death Eaters had fallen into his trap. The Death Eaters on the other hand were getting more confused by every moment and perhaps frightened that now they were not going against a muggle. The floor of the metal waste was pretty much still there.
In a panic, the Death Eaters shot spells towards the CEO only to be deflected yet again by the metal shards in front of him blocking the attacks effortlessly. Marty suddenly caught what type of power the young CEO had, he could control metals or anything a magnet could pick up! All he had to do was change everything into something else... the first thing he shot out next was a spell to change the whole room into plastic.
This time the CEO stopped as the metal shards that were turned into plastic fell down in front of him.
"So, you have an ability to control metal and anything that attracts it. But now... you're dead." The second Death Eater said.
Four out of the five Death Eaters pointed their wands...
But never had a chance to shot out spells as they found out the plastic on the floor turned into forms of hands and held on to them tightly.
But one Death Eater was not tied down.
"What! Impossible! The plastic should have stopped your ability!" Marty said in disbelief.
"Well, well, well. Isn't it funny, a bunch of Death Eaters who are clueless about magic?" Seto mocked. "Controlling metal is one of my best abilities, but to be more precise I can control and change anything that is matter."
The third Death Eater was going to retort but failed and screamed in agony because his mouth was going to burst.
"That includes the blood in your lips as well. I prefer you'd stay silent." The CEO stated coldly.
Marty turned to his fourth member, "What are you doing? Help us get out of here!"
The fourth only moved towards Seto and in front him bowed and soon bowed to Seth who walked into the room calmly from the depths of the shadows. The Death Eaters gasped as they found out not that there were two CEOs but their own fellow member betrayed them.
"I have done what you have requested." The cloaked fake Death Eater said.
"Well done, Death Gremlin." Seth congratulated as the DM who deactivated the hologram disguise.
"Keep the cloak on, do you have the information we wanted?" Seto asked.
"Yes sire." The monster answered putting his disguise as a KC employee.
"Come with me Death Gremlin, and Seth, the Death Eaters are all yours. Have fun. And make sure they suffer." Seto said and teleported with Death Gremlin.
"With pleasure," Seth smiled sinisterly. He looked at the frightened Death Eaters like a hawk who found his prey. "Now… what shall I do with you four?"
-------------------------------------
London, United Kingdom
Kaiba Corp branch in London
Seto Kaiba's Office
Morning (Local Time)
-------------------------------------
While Seth dealt with the Death Eaters, Seto read the papers of all the information in the wizarding world, members of the Death Eaters and their plans. Death Gremlin had fake Dark mark he made with the hologram so it was easy to infiltrate without the dark lord knowing. Too bad the dark lord doesn't know how technology works… But then Seto slightly cringed when he read the last sentence of the paper. Seth who suddenly had came back from dealing the Death Eaters only looked at his twin.
-((Something wrong?))- The priest asked.
"Read it." Seto simply said pointing to the last sentence.
Seth's eyes went wide. -((We must tell the Pharaoh.))-
Seto looked at his watch. He hated time difference. Well… there wasn't anything he could do right now… unless… The CEO calmly took out a time turner from his pocket, and gave it a few spins. And soon the office was back to night time, which meant in Japan it was morning.
--------------------------------------
Seto Kaiba's Office
At Night (Local Time)
--------------------------------------
Seto quickly wrote an email on his laptop hoping at least Yugi would read it before he reached London …
'Email Sent' the computer voice said.
Well, that was done. But now this meant he had to wait until it was morning again. He sighed; well maybe he should get some sleep. He only slept for an hour yesterday. The time turner wasn't just useful for working, but for resting as well unless you knew how to use it to its full advantage. Ever since he got one it was easier running his company as he found out he managed to even take a holiday with Mokuba, plus his employees were happier they had an extra day for the weekends (both Saturday & Sunday, before it was only Sunday). His body seemed to like the change since he had a decent amount of time to sleep.
Well… he wasn't going to sleep for too long. There were those files from the Order from Dimitri to look at… After Seto sent the email, he went towards his cabinet files to get some work done…
The yami on the other hand only muttered about Kaiba being a stubborn host about knowing when the time was rest or work… but he admitted he wouldn't want any other host than his twin here, at least he was respectful to his Pharaoh… and maybe having a twin wasn't so bad after all… Seth changed himself from spirit form to a plastic form, it was hard changing into a human, but as long as he was solid he guessed he could help his twin work anyway. Seto only looked at Seth and nodded. Having an assistant with the same way of thinking and way of working was better than having an employee who wanted a pay raise.

Domino, Japan
Kame Game Shop
Saturday 20th August
Late in the Afternoon (Local Time)
------------------------------
Hagrid told Yugi that he would get him in the morning. As Yami had figured out that would be morning…but in London. Yugi on the other hand was on the counter desk putting in new cards he bought recently with Yami figuring how to improve his deck more. The Puzzle wasn't around his neck, well more correctly the M puzzle was around his neck but covered with an invisible hologram that also made the item not solid. So if anyone bumped into an item holder they won't fell anything. This was a safety measure taken by all M item holders. Yami, who was stroking Shay, while the phoenix ate a bowl of sunflower seeds, looked at Yugi. From the Pharaoh's point of view he knew Yugi was determined to find out more about Hogwarts and his grandfather. Everything was ready, from his luggage to even the laptop.
Yami sighed about what the other four were going to react when they see Kaiba's email that Yugi and Yami both got this morning. Bakura and Marik are not going to be happy about it, but more or so he was not even sure the other hikaris will find the info 'nice'. Well… so much for trying to go to London to find more 'peace', when they knew they'll be crashing into the real wizarding world.
'BANG, BANG, BANG!'
-((That should be Hagrid))- Yami said to Yugi.
Yugi opened the door and greeted the giant.
"Hi, you must be Hagrid." Yugi said as he smiled.
"Sure am, 'right get yer luggage now, we better get to London quickly. Yer friends are waitin' for ye outside." The giant smiled back at the odd haired teen though it seemed the giant was trying to ignore Yugi's somewhat 'odd' hair. Yugi only shrugged the feeling away, his hair was natural and it wasn't the first time he got stares like this.
Shay on the other hand seemed to like Hagrid and helped him with the luggage.
"Yer phoenix?" the giant asked.
"Yup." Yugi nodded.
"Never thought anyone could have one besides Dumbledore. Sure is a beauty he is." Hagrid commented.
"I know." Yugi said bluntly. "Um, shall we go?"
'Righ' we should not waste any of our time then.' Hagrid nodded.
Soon Yugi was outside with Malik, Ryou and Hagrid. And in a flash they disappeared to London with a 'portkey' to the Leaky Cauldron.
-------------------------------------
London, United Kingdom
The Leaky Cauldron
Morning (Local Time)
-------------------------------------
They were now in their rooms in the Leaky Cauldron, much to their surprise they were the only ones who were staying there. The place itself was rather empty, which of course meant it was easier to get around. Hagrid had left them on their own, only left them with a few advices about Diagon Alley. Now they were planning what to do next.
-((Let's go to Knockturn Alley!))- Bakura urged.
Ryou only sighed, "Bakura, you can at least give me a break from getting into trouble…"
-((The Weasly Twins' Joke shop would be good))- Marik added.
"I don't think my yami got the point what you said." Malik snorted to Ryou.
-((Actually you'd all better read Kaiba's letter first before we even start anything…))- Yami emphasized.
They all looked to Yami, Yugi on the other hand was glad his darker side was still saner than the others…
World Wide Web
To…DM SM SetoKC Warning…
Yugi,
I've used the Time Turner to go back to night time in the UK to send you this email. Death Gremlin gave me more information that the Last Two Orichalcos Seals is in some form of seal that is hidden in Hogwarts. The information I got has something to do with the first four founders of Hogwarts. When you get to the school most likely this information will be in the library's restricted section. It seems the Unknown Prophecy of Destiny we've stolen has something to with it.
Another info I must tell you is that Duel Monsters has just hit the wizarding stores yesterday and it seems wizards are quite fond of it. Before you get your supplies in Diagon Alley, be aware of spies from the dark lord. Btw, the store that is selling Duel Monster Cards and their mats is 'Weasly's Wizarding Wheezes'. I don't think they have a clue what duel disks are yet. If you are planning to go to the shop, bring the hologram disguise devices with you for safety. The wizards won't know about whom the world champion is or who are the Elite Duelists yet, I'm actually going postpone the release of that information when you've at least stayed in Hogwarts about a month. Just don't try to attract attention too much.
When the wizards do find out when I release the information, try not to get mobbed,
Seto
PS: Bakura, Agent #025 will want to see you in Knockturn Alley
Back to the Leaky Cauldron
-((Don't get mobbed huh?))- Marik said sarcastically.
-((Bah, who cares. But it looks like I got a meeting with a friend))- Bakura smiled gleefully.
"I thought that letter would at least halt my yami for a while." Ryou said gloomily.
"As if…" Malik rolled his eyes.
"Well at least there's a warning. I certainly don't want to get mobbed just like that." Yugi said simply.
-((First things first. We get our supplies, maybe even check the Joke store and check our wands at Ollivanders as Dumbledore requested for us as transfers. After that, you're all free to do personal business.))- Yami suggested.
They all nodded. Maybe the only one who wasn't really nodding was Ryou. He obviously didn't want to go into trouble again.
"We should get going then…" Yugi said.
---------------------------------------
London, United Kingdom
Diagon Alley
Afternoon (Local Time)
----------------------------------------
Most of the morning was all to do with school supplies, books from Flourish and Blotts, Hogwarts robes from Madam Malkin's Robes for all Occasions and Apothecary's for potion ingredients. They only got a glance at the Quidditch shop and walked down the gloomy Alley full with pamphlets, shabby odd stores with posters of ministry advices and pictures of wanted Death Eater posters everywhere. Now they were at the wand shop which sign read, 'Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C.'. A boy about their age had just exited out of the shop chasing a toad while his grandmother looked rather pleased with him for some reason.
Mr. Ollivander himself was closing the shop early for some reason as well. He was turning the store sign to 'Close' when he saw the three of them coming into his shop. "Can I help you boys?" he said with an odd voice that would of creep any normal person. Not for the hikaris that is, since the yamis were sometimes a lot more creepy.
"We'd like you to check our wands, Professor Dumbledore requested it from this letter." Yugi gave the letter and showed it to the wand maker.
"Transfers...I see...very well... you three are my very last customers." Mr. Ollivander said. "I'd like to see your wands please on the desk."
The three of them went to the main desk of the shabby old shop and took out their wands for the wand maker to examine.
Yami had taken over Yugi and said, "Leaving very early aren't you?"
Mr. Ollivander only looked at Yami.
Even the Thief took over, "Don't worry too much, the shop is cloaked. You can speak."
The wand maker at first hesitated but then said, "I never thought I would actually meet one of the Masters of the Shadow Casters from the Order of the Shadows here, or any other members of the OotS, especially checking their wands." Mr. Ollivander finally admitted.
"So you're moving out?" Malik asked.
"Yes, I have made many wands here but if the dark lord rises again I fear what my new wands will do next. The preparations are complete; I'll leave without leaving a trace. It'll be wonderful living with Sieg, I never thought my family line still existed or there were any of us Element Masters left." The wand maker said.
Mr. Ollivander shivered mentally as he checked the member's wands that were from the OotS. It was not easy acting as though one was calm if you knew that you were looking at something that no wizard might ever use, including the dark lord. So...Professor Ryu was not lying when he said just how powerful the wizards who joined as its members. And the proof was Yugi's, Ryou's and Malik's wand that he was checking right now.
Yugi:
Core – Golden Phoenix Feather
Wood – White Brilliant Maple and Dark Mahogany
Size – Nine and a quarter inches long
Ryou:
Core – Sliver Night Unicorn Hair
Wood – Moran tee and Shade Ash
Size – Ten inches long
Malik:
Core – Eastern Ridgeback Dragon Heartstring
Wood – Light Oak and Ebony
Size – Eleven and a half inches long.
"I can't say these wands can be really be used anyone but yourselves, a wood of a wand when combined with a darker and lighter type shade together usually cancel each other out. And the cores are very rare, of course only few special wizards or witches can use them. If the wizards/witches are not powerful enough, the cores will be very stubborn just to put out a simple spell." The wand maker concluded.
"I see why you wish to leave then." Yami looked to the wand maker.
"I've caused too much damage by selling 'that wand', phoenix feather, yew, Thirteen and a half inches long, and an extremely powerful wand. At times of war like this I think I won't like being dragged on to either side." Mr. Ollivander looked at the odd teens.
"So your reason for joining the OotS was trying not to get involved in the war?" Ryou asked after forcing his yami to get back into his soul room.
"Yes, and family, I never thought there would be any Element Masters left. Most of us were hunted down for our special abilities and the Ministry of Magic hates Element Masters. Many who went into hiding were caught. But my family hid under a job of wand making so we were safe from the purges." The wand maker sighed.
"Alright, here are your wands. It's odd that your wands don't make your magic flow from yourself, but rather they tend to filter your magic instead. Odd wands for somewhat odd people I guess..." Mr. Ollivander added.
"Very well then we must leave. Take care." Yami said and shook hands with the wand maker.
"You all take care of yourselves as well. Hogwarts this year won't be safe."
Yugi, Malik and Ryou said their goodbyes to the wand maker as the shop closed down.
And now for the grand finale… Weasly's Wizarding Wheezes…
-----------------------------------
London, United Kingdom
Weasly's Wizarding Wheezes, Diagon Alley
Late in the Afternoon (Local Time)
-----------------------------------
Yugi, Ryou and Malik with their yamis stood in front a shop Number Ninety Five, Diagon Alley with holograms disguise on and gaped at a store…
-----------------------------------------------
Set against a dull, poster muffled shop fronts around them, Fred and George's windows hit the eye like a firework display. Casual passers-by were looking back over their shoulders at the windows, and a few rather stunned-looking people come to halt, transfixed. The right-hand window was covered with a gigantic poster, purple like those of the Ministry, but emblazoned with flashing yellow letters:
Why Are You Worrying About You-Know-Who?
You SHOULD Be Worrying About
U-NO-POO
The Constipation Sensation That's Gripping the Nation!
-Chapter 4, Draco's Detour, Pg.113 British Hard Cover, HP & the H-B P-
------------------------------------------------
-((Flashy.))- Marik could only say.
But the thief already had a large grin on his face –((This is my kind of store!))- And without further or do, Bakura took over Ryou's body and dashed into the store...
The other four only sweat dropped.
-(I feel kind of sorry for Ryou...)- Yugi admitted.
-(Don't be. By the way, here Yugi, take this.)- Malik threw a pouch at Yugi.
Yugi checked inside was full of galleons, knuts and sickles. –(What's this?")-
Malik only smiled and said, -(Payment to the Pharaoh for letting him steal. I don't think the darn thief won't want to say a 'thank you' of any kind in front of anyone.)-
-((Any chances that the money is not from a 'robbery'?))- The pharaoh asked inspecting the pouch as he took over Yugi's body.
-((It was a paycheck from Prof. Ryu, after the stealing from the ministry. You've got about 45 of that paycheck.))- Marik answered.
Malik and Yugi looked at Yami on what he was going to do next…
As Yami fiddled with the pouch in his hands…
Malik kept his eye at Yami…
Yugi tried staring and trying not to blink…
Yami calmly slipped the pouch of wizard money into his jacket… The hikaris dropped to the ground (anime fall!)…
-((How thoughtful. Well then, shall we do our own shopping?))- Yami looked at Marik who now controlled Malik's body.
-((Heck yeah, I've got some extra to spend as well!))- Marik smiled evilly. He was glad the fact Yami had his dark side making its way back.
-(Yami's getting scarier…)- Malik commented looking at Yugi, who was rubbing his eyes still not believing what Yami had done.
-----------------------------
Inside the Store
Duel Monsters Section
----------------------------
For one thing, Yami and Marik were somewhat happy from all the shopping they did. They both bought mostly joke merchandise since they found the Shield Cloaks and even Instant Darkness Powder not useful. Yugi pictured if the CEO knew about this, he would most likely laugh in his boastful way like he always did seeing how the shield cloaks didn't protect one from an unforgivable curse. Just a week ago Seto had created an extra feature to the hologram devices by adding an unforgivable curse shield. Now the Duel Monster's section was full of moving monsters and attacks flashing everywhere. The four members of the OotS were even more surprised just how many customers that were at the stands. You could say there were…um…an awful lot of people around.
Malik rubbed his right eye, -(Right, I thought the CEO said that wizards were quite fond of it.)-
-(I think Kaiba was saying that as sarcastic commentary.)- Yugi corrected.
-((You hikaris didn't get the part where it said 'try not to get mobbed' do you?))- Marik corrected the other two.
While the other three were bickering why Duel Monsters was famous, Yami eyes darted throughout the shop. He bet normal people or muggles who played duel monsters would love the shop. One thing Yami had noticed was how many people were discussing or wishing that Duel Monsters were real. Heck, they are real and yes they pretty much have an existence. For a darker price that is. Much to Yami's knowledge, history behind Duel Monsters was basically tragic involving killing and war. Changing it into a normal game was better than having to lose a soul in a You-know-what game. Yami was now paying attention to a conversation…
"You've got a lot of strong cards!" one boy exclaimed.
"I know, but I'm still keeping the other cards in a collection tin just in case." The taller boy said.
"Why? Not like we're going to use 'em anyway."
"I heard that in Japan where they have rules of sacrificing a weak monster for a stronger monster."
"Really? I like the normal rules. Who uses those rules?"
"The top duelists do and of course normal muggles now use it as well."
"Well, I like the rules where there shouldn't be any sacrifice at all and summoning stronger monsters is easy."
And the two boys continued their conversation…
From the conversation, Yami was now concluding a few things about Duel Monsters in the wizarding world. Mostly, as Seto had stated they only had mats which meant… They don't know about duel discs…They're still using Duelist Kingdom rules… and… they definitely haven't figured out yet that the best duelists were now wizards, few as muggles while three were heading to Hogwarts.
This time, Yami had let Yugi be in control to look around the DM section. After the bickering had stopped it seemed everyone was in a happier mood going their own ways to look around. Yugi was looking at a whole stand of a limited Spellcaster's Only pack, two were left there. Immediately Yugi took them to his hands and went to the other themed packs around the store.
-((What was that for? One is enough you know.))- Yami looked at his light oddly.
-(One for me, one for you. There's still plenty of money from Bakura's pouch right?)-
This time Yami fell to the floor… He scratched his head, –((Do you have a darker side coming in abiou?))-
His twin laughed –(Yes, you haven't forgot it was you right?)-
Yami only raised an eyebrow.
-(I know we're doing spying for the Order, but it doesn't mean we can't have a bit more fun. If I keep worrying about grandpa, I'll lose focus on spying. Besides, we might as well find a new Duel Monster companion to fight with us.)- Yugi answered with a smile.
Yami nodded. There was something about how his smaller twin was growing up. Even with his darker side was back, Yugi was able to understand, to accept and to have faith in him as a friend. But sharing one body had made them closer. If Yami in his past had a brother, Yugi would most likely the only one he wanted.
--------------------------------
London, United Kingdom
Diagon Alley
Outside Weasly's Wizarding Wheezes
Sunset (Local Time)
--------------------------------
Ryou was already waiting outside in an enclosed area and gave a signal for the other two when no one was looking.
"Looks like someone did shopping." Marik said as he looked to Ryou who had three huge bags from Weasly's Wizarding Wheezes.
"It was he who did the shopping." The half Brit corrected and pointed to his yami who was smiling gleefully and uh… dancing? ... It was as though he was an Indian who had just successfully made the rain come by doing a 'rain dance'… too happy to put it in words would be another way to describe it for all the things he had bought.
Yami sweat dropped, 'He actually bought something what he wanted, than stole it like he used to. Right…At least that's an improvement.' The pharaoh thought.
Yugi soon came in, "There's a message." Yugi took a cell phone out of his pocket and it showed '1 message received' with the numbers from the Order.
This caught everyone's attention and they looked to the sms…
SMS

(Translation: It is important that you report to me tonight King of Games. Thief meets Agent #025 at 'Gobly's Ale' at 06:00 pm at Knockturn Alley. Tomb Keeper; go to Little Post Ally at 05:55 pm to meet Agent #067 and Agent #089 for info on Hogwarts. Delete this message as soon as you finish reading this. Agent #008)
Back to Diagon Alley
"We're pretty busy tonight." Malik commented.
"Not like we have a choice." Yugi said.
Ryou's face paled. "Now what?"
-((We'll have to do the task now.))- Yami said quietly.
The thief's happiness then burst out -((YAY! Knockturn alley! Knockturn alley! Sorry hikari, you lose…huahahaha!))-
-((Well fun wouldn't hurt won't it?))- Marik joined in. Malik on the other hand only sighed; it was better giving up than going against his yami. At least he didn't have to feel so bad about it.
Yami who had taken over Yugi's body flicked his wand and sent the luggage to the Leaky Cauldron. Marik and Bakura only gapped, has the pharaoh gone out of his mind? "My treat, you two should get going if you're going to get to your destinations on time. We need the information. It's crucial that we don't waste our time when it comes to matters of the Order." Yami whispered in a somewhat deadly voice.
To Bakura and Marik this was a signal the pharaoh was serious. It would be foolish to go against the pharaoh's words. Having a permission to do what they pleased was great and they weren't going to miss a chance like this… The two nodded and made their way through the streets quickly…
Yami only looked at the two as they left before making his way into the crowd.
-((Somehow I have a bad feeling what's going to happen when we get to Hogwarts))- Yami said through his mind link as he walked.
-(Yeah…And we won't be able to evade a real wizard duel either)- his light added.
-((It'll depend on what agent #008 will give us regarding the information that he's desperate to inform us.))-
As the conversation ended Yami disappeared into the long street amongst the wizard and witches...
TO BE CONTINUED…
-------------------------------------
Yup, Seto has special powers too! So far the abilities we know of YGO characters are…
Yugi/Yami : Controlling elements of Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Light, Darkness and Void.
Ryou/Bakura: Ability to go through walls or anything that is solid.
Malik/Marik: Ability to change into a 'shadow' and disguise as any shadow.
Seto/Seth: Ability to change or alter anything that is matter.
There might be more…but we'll just have to see later…
Info on Wands: I wanted to make it a little more interesting. In many fanfics they focus on the cores but I also want to add the oddness with the wood type as well. So if you looked at their wands the wood are half light and half dark which represents that they have two spirits in one body.
So far the OotS have not only infiltrated the wizarding community but the Death Eaters too… Mr. Ollivander is an Element Master folks! ... Thus his disappearance… Death Gremlin is a fake Death Eater voicing in what the dark lord's underlings are doing…
Yami's dark side has made its appearance again… I loved it where he puts the money pouch in his jacket…huahahaha … Bakura's really enjoying himself is also my fav part! (chuckles)
I didn't really make Hagrid appearances that much, because I think Yugi and Co. are old enough to buy stuff on their own, despite the Ministry measures. So Hagrid can come in the Care of Magical Creatures lessons later.
Now for Review Feedback!
To kurama and hieis girl:
Well here's the fic! Hope you like reading it! I know I should try to stick to more quick updates but I prefer to have a good long chapter than a short and hurried one. Just to make up for my late update. I have this bad habit if I hurry things up it might turn bad, so please bear with me. In return I'll give what I've got to write each chapter to memorial. Thanks for reviewing!
To Crazy Hyper Lady:
Thanks! Yeah I know the part of italiczation going on. And yep, got complaints too. Sorry for that. Well, I changed the format, hope it's better for your eyes. I try my best to keep the story line as original as possible. And I hope you can contribute your ideas as well. If you have any, just say it and I might even put it in. This is my longest chapter! Hope you liked it. Keep reviewing!
To Akumagirl:
I didn't think this story was really great but thanks for the motivation! I know what you mean about great fanfics but they don't seem to be updated or the fics have stopped completely. But it won't happen to this fic! I'll try better to balance my time between schoolwork and this fanfic. Thanks for the opinion on the houses, I'll keep it in mind when I get to the sorting! Hope you keep reviewing!
To Yamiace1321:
To tell you the truth it's freaking difficult to fit in my parts of the story to the original story line but I find it to be a great challenge. Thank you for saying it was great! I really do need a boost.
Yami's darker behavior is getting scarier by the passing moment… he's now going all yami again…even Yugi is getting affected… huahahaha… It seems like Bakura and Marik are celebrating right now o … Poor Ryou hasn't accepted the mischievous behavior of his yami… Malik on the other hand seems to have tolerated his yami to an extent…
This is only the beginning part of Diagon Alley… wait till you read the next part… more yami mayhem!
Run into Malfoy? That could happen, but I won't go over the original storyline. But hey…he does need a 'proper' lesson… by whom? You'll just have to wait a tad longer to know that one…
Seto in this chapter has accepted his yami. Though you could see from the outside he's not very caring for his yami, I think on the inside Seto is actually glad to have a twin like Seth. If you noticed from the manga/anime Seto and Seth do nearly have the same way of thinking. So I thought if they both got to know each other, they're one heck of an undefeatable business-mind team. Well as long Seth doesn't go on Seto's nerves…
Anyways thanks for the support! I'm a bit free for this weekend, so I'll try to fit in as much time to get another chapter going! You're pretty lucky to have time to skive, I hardly do…Well, that's basically life… Hope you review again!
Next on HP, HBP, and the OotS…
Yamis mayhem night at Diagon Alley!
We're going to run into Malfoy…
More on the OotS…
And a bit of Harry Potter too…
The next chapter:
Chapter 7: 'The Magic COM link'
