Yes, chapter…I'm one four right? Yeah four, well here you go, the sorting. Have fun.

I DO NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh or Harry Potter!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The boys gasped as they entered the great hall. Up above the ceiling mimicked the sky and hundreds of candles were floating above their heads. Along them, there were four long tables filled with students, at the end of the hall there was another table facing the other way. On it were adult who they guessed were their new teachers.

As the students stopped at the front, an elderly old man stood in front of the school, causing everyone to silence. "Welcome new and old to another year at Hogwarts, McGonagall, if you will?" the man sat down and everyone turned their attention to Professor McGonagall.

"Now, when I call your name, you will come up and I will place the sorting hat on your head. When it announces your house, you will go to sit with them. Abbot, Hannah!"

Harry sighed in relief; all they had to do was put on the hat! Ron turned to him and smiled and turned back as a student was sent to Gryffindor.

"Hey, do you think we'll be last?" asked Ryou.

"I guess, if not you would have been the second one," answered Kaiba. Ryou nodded and relaxed greatly, until Malfoy, Draco was called. They watched as the hat struggled, as if it didn't want to touch him and yelled, "SLYTHERIN!"

"Of course he would go there, it fits him perfectly." said Malik.

"Granger, Hermione!" the boys groaned as Hermione was placed in Gryffindor.

"Potter, Harry!" The whole hall quieted as Harry walked slowly to the sorting hat. Everyone watched closely as the hat pondered on top of his head. Eventually it cried out, "GRYFFINDOR!"

The red and gold table cheered in triumph as Harry walked towards it. Ron blushed slightly as he saw and heard his brothers chanting, "We've got Potter! We've got Potter!"

"Bloody idiots" he grumbled.

"Weasley, Ronald!"

"Good luck" whispered Saren, as he walked to the hat. "Ha, another Weasley, GRYFFINDOR!"

Once again the elderly man stood up and quieted the hall, "This year I am pleased to announce we are having some foreign exchange students joining us. Please treat them with respect."

"Bakura, Ryou!" Ryou gasped and walked stiffly towards the frayed hat, ignoring the whispers about his white hair. Eventually he reached the stool and sat.

"Very strange, two souls in one?"

(Do you have a problem with that hat?)

"Of course not, it means I'll just find a place fit for you both. Now, you young boy are a follower, don't like attention, and are a hard worker. You on the other hand are ruthless, brave, cunning, and well the list goes on. Hmm, and Hufflepuff and Slytherin, very hard in deed. Wait I know, GRYFFINDOR!"

Ryou sighed and flashed Yugi a thumbs up, and sat in between Harry and one of Ron's brothers. Yugi nodded and faced the front again. "Ishtal, Malik!"

The blonde Egyptian walked swiftly to the front and placed the hat on his head. Almost immediately he heard a voice in his head, he jump slightly but calmed down when he realized it wasn't Marik.

"Lets see here, brave, strong, cunning, and you always do your best to help those you love, well now. Your past is dark and full of pain; I also see you don't want to be in Slytherin yes? GRYFFINDOR!"

Malik strode over to Ryou and sat down next to him, a smile present on his face. "That was easy" he added.

"Kaiba, Seto!"

As Seto walked up he heard some whispers from others like Harry. "That's Seto Kaiba, the CEO of Kaiba Corp!" whispered a kid he saw being sorted earlier. He rolled his eyes and put on the hat.

"A brilliant one here, yes indeed, brave, never miss a chance to show off, and you care deeply for a brother? Ravenclaw or Gryffindor? "

I would prefer to be with my…traveling companions

"If you wish, you would have done well in Ravenclaw though, GRYFFINDOR!"

Seto smirked when he heard some disappointed muggle-borns sigh, too bad, Seto Kaiba DOES NOT need a new fan club.

"Motou, Yugi!" Yugi ignored the whispers of his hair and put on the hat. "Watch the hair boy! It's like sitting in needles!"

/That's my partner you're talking to hat. /

\Yami, I told you to be nice! \

"Again two souls? Well let's have a look, very brave indeed, both of you. Average smarts, cunning when needed yes, very loyal. But your wanting to keep your friends safe at your cost is much stronger, so it better be…GRYFFINDOR!"

Yugi jumped and ran towards the table, giving Ryou a high-five. "Sakia, Saren!"

"So that's her last name." said Harry. "I wonder why she never told us."

"She's a girl, they act…differently." answered Ron.

Saren walked to the hat and timidly put it on. "Oh, it's you; tell me are your planning to hide every thing from me?"

Shove it hat

"Fine, let's see, many secrets, cunning, brave, smart, dark, you always have your way and love doing things in secret, yes?"

The hall watched with anticipation as Saren waited patiently under the hat. Her friends crossed their fingers and hoped for the best, eventually the hat opened the rip near it's brim. "SLY—GRYFFINDOR!"

Saren smiled as she took her seat next to Yugi and turned to face the front to wave to her godfather. The Dumbledore stood up and once again quieted the hall.

"Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! First I would like to remind you that the Forbidden Forest is as always forbidden to students. Mr. Filch also reminded me that the third floor corridor is also forbidden to all those who do not wish to experience a most horrible death. Now, before we pass out from hunger, let the feast begin!"

Everyone watched as the plates filled with food, including some Japanese dishes, but Yugi wasn't interested in the food. \Yami, when Saren was sorted the hat almost said Slytherin.\

/I know aibou. It just means we'll be careful. /

\oh no! \

/What/

\Can't Saren hear us? \

/She told me how to put up a barrier so she can't hear our conversations/

Yugi sighed and piled some food on his plate. He'd worry about it later; right now food was the most important thing.

ooOOoo

Seto sighed as he undressed for bed. Yugi was right about his thoughts, but Malik was almost put in Slytherin too, but he said he told the hat not to. Yugi's just paranoid, but something told him something was very wrong at this school, very wrong indeed.
