Sorry I haven't been here for a while. I've been studying for my S.A.T.'s. I have to do well or I don't officially graduate. It's retarded, if you fail, you still go on, and you just don't graduate. But, since I would like to go to the next grade, I've decided to study. Plus, once again our computer was acting funny and my mom rebooted it from scratch.

This is the second copy of this chapter, the other one, along with my other stories for Quizilla, were deleted. It makes me wanna figure out how to save all this crap on disk. Sorry if it takes me a while to finish this story, I have to be careful, because for some reason it's my fault for screwing up the computer. I think its fanfiction because my pop-up blocker goes crazy on this site.

BTW: I DON'T own Yu-Gi-Oh OR Harry Potter. I wish I did but alas, I am limited to collecting the manga and books. Drools over her enormous pile of Yu-Gi-Oh, Fruits Basket, and soon to be Death Note mangas.

P.S (this is when Yami talks)

(This is when Yugi talks to Yami)

/This is when Bakura talks/

/This is when Ryou talks to Bakura/

This is what a character is thinking.

Got it? Good.

Through the Trap Door Part One

oOOo

Testing week, everybody hated it. Well, except maybe Seto and Hermione, the school geniuses. The week had past by slowly and nobody was happier to have it end than Ron and Malik.

Malik looked at his watch expectantly, "3 o' clock," he whispered, "Come on baby, only one more minute." Seto rolled his eyes and returned to his plans to defeat Yugi. Old habits die hard right?

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Everyone sighed in relief as the bell tolled, signaling the start of the weekend. The gang held back in the classroom until everyone headed out so they could regroup. "Well that was the easiest test I ever took. How about you guys?" Saren asked.

"I couldn't figure out question 137," Ryou wailed. Bakura scoffed from his soul room, (Perfectionist)

"I couldn't care less, ""Ron announced, "As long as I finish."

They walked silently out of the classroom and out into the hall. They were heading the same direction as everybody else, the grounds. "I'll meet you guys at the lake," said Ryou, "I have to go to the lavatory." Ryou detached himself from his friends and made his way to the bathroom.

"Oi! Ryou! Wait for me!" yelled Malik, "See you guys at the tree."

Yugi shuddered. (What's wrong Aibou?) Yami appeared next to his hikari, looking very concerned. (I don't know. I-I just feel as though something bad is happening.)

(Don't worry, as much as I hate to admit it, Ryou is Bakura's main concern, and he wouldn't let anything happen to him. Malik is also with them, if they get ambushed, he can always use the millennium rod, right?)

(Yeah, but I can't get rid of this feeling of…dread)

"You feel it too Yugi?" said Harry. Harry, having overheard the conversation, fell back to wait for Yugi.

Yami smiled, (I had forgotten that you could see and hear us. So you heard about what Yugi is feeling?)

"Yeah, I have the same thing. My scar's been prickling all day. I think it's a sign that Voldemort is around."

"You should be careful then Harry." Yugi put his hand on Harry's shoulder, "We can't have Voldemort taking you."

Harry smiled, "I won't let that half-dead wizard anywhere near me."

oOOo

/Oi! Ishtar! Are you a girl or something? Get your pathetic ass out of that damn stall/ Bakura pounded on the bathroom stall. "I'm getting out! Hold your damn horses!" came the disgruntled reply.

Ryou leaned his head against the bathroom wall. Why me? Dear Ra, God or Kami, why me? Ryou sighed as Marik and Bakura continued fighting, and walked out the door.

"If you to lovebirds are done fighting, I'd like to leave now." he called. The fighting instantly stopped and Ryou heard Bakura's voice in his head/Why the Hell would you say something like that, hikari/

Ryou shrugged/It made you guys stop right/

Eventually Marik and Bakura caught up to Ryou. Malik glared at him angrily, "I hate you" Ryou sighed, "I know you do."

All three walked in a silence, the shadows of the corridor flickered and grew as the torches moved with unfelt wind. Even though it was bright outside, for some reason no light had reached the third floor.

Ryou jumped as the torches blew out, there was no wind. There was nothing in the corridor with the boys, nothing but, an open door in the third floor corridor. Bakura walked forward and closed the door/something's not right here. /

"Really, what makes you say that?"

"Marik, this isn't the right time for your sarcasm." Ryou pulled out his wand and stood back to back with Marik and Bakura. /Bakura, we need to surprise whatever is coming. /

Bakura ran his hand through his silver hair/I hardly doubt we'll surprise it. We need to fight it whenever it comes. /

Malik had his wand at the ready, "We'll use that stunning charm, and it'll by us some time to run if we need too."

"Running won't do you much good Serchu(1)" The voice rang through the corridor with power, enough power to activate the millennium items. The ring burned against Ryou's chest as it sucked Bakura back into its depths. Marik let go of his millennium rod and let it hit the floor.

Professor Quirrell came out from behind a pillar, "I see what you meant about being followed, Koris." It was not Quirrell's voice that the boys had heard.

The owner was a woman from the sound of the disembodied voice. "Carwr,(2) don't harm them just yet, they could prove useful." A cloaked figure walked into the corridor and studied Ryou and Marik. "Yes, they will prove most useful."

Koris walked swiftly towards Marik and grabbed his chin. Neither boy moved, Quirrell, or Koris, had used some sort of spell to paralyze them. "Heh, I see Old Epona has gotten herself some new toys." Marik could see that she was smiling – her nose and chin were exposed. "I think I found my trump card."

Ryou felt the spell starting to wear off, he struggled to move his mouth, "W-wha-at do y-you m-mean toys?"

Koris's gaze fell onto Ryou; "If I told you, it would ruin my plan, so—" she nodded at Quirrell who released a spell from his wand. "—I've decided to keep you under my wing, Serchu."

The boys fell to the floor, unconscious. Koris laughed and nudged Marik with her foot, "And here, ten thousand years of torture comes full circle, at least for Epona."

oOOo

"Hey Hagrid, do you know anything about that man who gave you Norbert?" Harry took a seat next to Hagrid, who was busy washing peas. Everyone else sat in the grass around Hagrid.

"All I know isat he was a dragon dealer. We played a game o' cards for it."

"Well, we were hoping if you knew what he looked like?" said Saren. "Like a hooked nose, black hair—ow!" Hermione, Seto, and Yugi punched Ron in the back. "Be quiet Ron!" whispered Yugi.

Hagrid scratched his beard, apparently not noticing who it was Ron described, "I don' know. He kept his hood up."

Seto smacked his forehead against his hand, "What did you talk about then?"

Hagrid looked uncomfortable at the tone of annoyance in Seto's voice. "Well, he asked what I do fer a livin'. I told him I take care of the grounds here. He asked what kind o' animals I care for. Said he wanted ter see if I could handle a dragon. I told him, 'After Fluffy, a dragon ain't gonna be hard."

"Was he interested in Fluffy?"

"O' course he was, Yugi! You don't often see a dog like that, even if yer in the trade!" Yugi rubbed the back of his head as Hagrid continued, "So I said, the trick to sooth any animal, is ter play music. Heck, ole Fluffy falls asleep with the smallest amount o' music.—forget I said anythin'!"

Hagrid had slapped his hand over his mouth. He had just told them how to get past one of the defenses against the stone. "Hey! Where you lot goin' off too!" Hagrid shook his head as they entered the castle. "I gotta learn to keep my mouth shut."

oOOo

"I can't believe it!" exclaimed Seto, "That buffoon actually told Snape how to get past Fluffy!"

"Calm down brother, we'll be able to stop him tonight. We just need to find Dumbledore." Harry patted his brother on the back.

"Well, I don't know were Dumbledore is, so don't ask me." said Saren.

"Well, we'll just have to check his office. You know where that is, right Saren?" asked Hermione.

"Yeah, it's on the next floor, end of the corridor, behind the phoenix statue."

(What if he isn't there? What do we do?)

Saren smiled, "What I always do Yami."

Yami looked at Saren quizzically, (I had forgotten you could do that.)

"What do you mean by, 'What I always do'?" asked Yugi. Saren rubbed the back of her head, "Owl."

"Owl? Who would be sending an owl when you six should be outside?" Everyone froze as Professor McGonagall stepped in their path. "I would have thought you would have been glad to be out of this castle."

Everyone exchanged glances, trying to decide whether or not to ask where the Headmaster was. Yugi and Yami conversed it for a while until they finally agreed on something.

Yugi walked up to the professor, "Please Professor, could you tell us where Professor Dumbledore might be?"

Everyone flinched as McGonagall opened her mouth. "He's currently out; the ministry sent him an emergency owl."

"T-that can't be! This is important, we need to see him!"

"Mr. Potter, do you seriously think that your needs are more important then the ministry of magic? If so, I would like to here it."

Saren stepped forward, giving Harry the I'm-sorry-look. "Please Professor, we need to see him because…we need to tell him about the…" Saren fidgeted with her fingers but stopped when McGonagall snapped at her, "Out with it child!"

"It's about the Philosopher's Stone."

The professor gasped and dropped the books she had been carrying. "H-how do you know about the stone!" Nobody answered her. "It doesn't matter. Go back to Gryffindor Tower, and never speak of the stone again!"

McGonagall summoned her books back into her arms and walked towards her office, no doubt writing a letter to the Headmaster.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, Seto, Saren, Yugi, and Yami walked quietly to the Gryffindor common room. No sooner had they entered, Neville ran up to them. "Hey, have you guys seen Ryou. He said he would help me with potions if I helped him with herbology."

Yugi grabbed the younger boys shoulders, "You mean he and Marik aren't here?" Neville nodded. (Oh dear Ra)
