Seto awoke the next morning to a certain spiky-haired boy hitting him with a pillow. "Ugh, Yugi! I'm awake, what was that for?"
"Saren said we need to get up, we have an hour until the train leaves."
"Crap!"
"Hey, no swearing!"
"Shut up Yugi! I have to get dressed"
Yugi sighed and walked out of the room, leaving Seto to dress and pack. Saren was downstairs introducing Ryou and Malik to a young boy with shaggy black hair. "Hey Yugi! This is Harry Potter, the boy we're taking to Kings Cross."
"Uh, Hi Yugi."
"Hello Harry, nice to meet you. I see you've met Malik and Ryou."
Harry nodded and grabbed his trunks. "I thought you said there where four boys."
"Oh yeah, where's Seto?"
"Upstairs." replied Yugi.
Malik rolled his eyes. "And he chews us for being late."
ooOOoo
"So, where exactly is this platform 9 ¾?" asked Seto.
"It's a divider in between platforms 9 and 10." replied Saren.
"So we're going through a wall?" squeaked Ryou.
"Come on, It's only a brick wall."
(Yeah hikari, a brick wall.)
I heard that
(Oh, yeah, I forgot your telepathy thing.)
(Her what?)
I can hear your conversations. Really annoying.
"Here we are boys" They stopped at a very solid brick wall that already had some family going through. Harry watched as one by one the red-haired family ran at the wall and disappeared. "I wanna try first"
"Be my guess, but try at a run incase your nervous"
Harry ran at the wall and felt a breeze at his face. When he opened his eyes, he saw a huge scarlet steam train. "Hogwarts Express, Platform 9 ¾. This is it." In a matter of seconds Seto, Yugi, Ryou, Malik, and Saren appeared next to him.
"Come, we have to find a compartment, oh, and leave your stuff here. You'll find it in your dorm when you're sorted."
The boys nodded walked onto the train, to the back where there was one compartment open. As the train started to move, Yugi pulled out his deck and asked Malik to duel.
"Oh right, rematch pha—Yugi. Winner plays Bak—Ryou?"
"Oh course" said Yami.
Harry watched with interest as Yugi and Malik dueled. "What game is that?" he asked, looking at the dark magician in awe.
"It's called duel monsters. I guess it hasn't come here yet." Harry jumped in surprise, some how, Yugi's voice was deeper. "I think it has, my cousin plays it. He has about every magazine that has to do with it—Wait a minute! Yugi Motou, The king of Games?"
"Yep"
"Wow! I thought I would be the only celebrity here a Hogwarts."
"Seto is one too, the owner of Kaiba corp." mumbled Malik.
"Really?"
"Yeah, and what do you mean the only celebrity?" asked Malik
"When I was little this dark lord named Voldemort tried to kill me. I only escaped with a scar while his powers disappeared. I myself don't know the story, I've live with normal people for so long."
Bakura looked at the young wizard with interest; he defeated a dark lord as a baby? What strength.
(Uh, can I control my body now?)
(No.)
"Um, excuse me, can I sit here? Everywhere else is full."
"Sure" said Saren, "If you can find somewhere to sit. Seto put away the laptop; I told you it won't work here."
"But, I need to, fine." Seto pushed his stuff of a seat, allowing the boy to sit down. "I'm Ron by the way, Ron Weasley"
"I'm Saren"
"Seto Kaiba"
"Malik Ishtal"
"Ryou Bakura"
"Yugi Motou"
"Harry Potter"
Ron's eyes nearly bugged out of his head when Harry announced his name. "You're the Harry Potter?" Harry nodded while Ryou and Malik snickered. "Do you really have the…scar?"
Harry nodded and lifted up his bangs, causing Ron to burst in excitement.
"Cool! "So are you all new as well?" Ron asked, trying not to stare at Yugi's hair too much.
"Yeah, we're starting at first year, Dumbledore never told us why." answered Seto, since Saren had returned to her book.
"That's strange. What game is that?"
"Duel monsters" replied Bakura.
"How do you play?"
"Answer this time Ryou, Malik and I did it last time."
Bakura growled but motioned for Ron to sit next to him so he could explain the game. About an hour later the compartment door opened to reveal a girl with long brown bushy hair.
"Excuse me, but has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville lost one." The girl looked around the compartment and stopped on Yugi. "How did you--?"
"It's natural." He interrupted.
"Oh, well my name is Hermione Granger, and you are?"
"I'm Yugi Motou and these are my friends Ryou Bakura, Malik Ishtal, Seto Kaiba, Saren, Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter."
Hermione's eyes widened at the sound of his name. "Holy cricket! Are you really? Everyone is going to be so astounded that you're here—"
"Um excuse me; I think you need to leave. The boys need to change because I can see the school from here." Hermione stopped and glared, "Alright, see you at school."
Saren sighed and grabbed her clothes. "Thanks" muttered Harry.
"I didn't do it for you; her voice was bad enough without her rambling on about you. To be honest, I thought it was annoying."
The boys snickered as Harry blushed. "Well, I'll see you outside." Saren walked out as the boys started to change into their robes-Yugi had a little trouble with his hair- and walked out side.
"Firs' years o'er here!" yelled a gruff voice.
"Oh, that's Hagrid!" exclaimed Harry.
"Who?" asked Malik.
"The guy Harry was with in Ollivander's came a familiar voice.
"Hey Saren, what took so long?" asked Malik.
"Oh, nothing, I had to check up on something."
The group walked towards Hagrid's huge figure. "'Ello Harry."
"Hiya Hagrid."
Ron looked Hagrid up and down, "Whoa, you're tall."
Hagrid ignored the comment and motioned for the first years to follow him to a large lake. One the shore, everyone divided into the boats. Harry, Ron, Malik, and a boy named Seamus got in one. While Saren, Seto, Yugi, and Ryou got in another.
Halfway across, a large cliff appeared, and on top of it was a huge castle with many turrets. "Wow" whispered Seto. Ryou didn't seem to notice since he was leaning over the side of the boat, but Yugi looked up at the school.
"So that's Hogwarts?"
Saren nodded, "Home sweet home."
"You lived here?" asked Seto.
"For a time, it's not that bad once you get used to it."
"I'll never get used to it." wailed Ryou, leaning over the side again.
The other three rolled their eyes and returned their sights to Hogwarts.
ooOOoo
The first years walked into the hall of their new school. Up on a balcony was an elderly woman in an emerald robe. "Welcome to Hogwarts, I am Professor McGonagall. On the other side of these doors are your fellow classmates, but before you can join them you must first be sorted into your houses. They are Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Slytherin. While you're here, your house is like your family. You will eat, sleep, and interact with them year round. Also at the end of the year a house is awarded points which are tallied and totaled. Points will be awarded for academic achievements, any rule breaking, and you will lose points. Now, I need to see if your ready, it'd be best to smarten your selves up a bit before you enter."
Everyone watched as McGonagall left them in the hall, as soon as she was out of sight people began to fidget over the ceremony. Harry was one the most, he knew nothing of magic and feared he would be sent back home to Privet Drive.
"Don't worry, my brothers Fred and George said it didn't hurt."
"Thanks Ron."
"Well, well, well. It's true what they said on the train; Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts." The hall burst with excitement as Saren, Seto, and Malik moved closer to Harry.
"I'm Draco Malfoy, this is Crabbe and Goyle. I wish to be your friend; it wouldn't be wise to meddle with pieces of thrash like him." Malfoy motioned his head towards Ron.
"I think I can choose friends on my own thank you."
"Yeah, he doesn't need a pompous windbag as a friend." sneered Malik.
Draco opened his mouth to retort but was cut off when McGonagall appeared in the hall. "We're ready for you now. Please get in two straight lines and follow me."
Damn I did six pages, that's more than I ever do on anything. Well I'm still grounded so I had to sneak on to finish this, I still don't know if I can get the next one out by Saturday. I'll try though.
