Niko Mane: You've changed my mind. I didn't realize that anyone actually cared! I will continue my story. I thank you for all your support! Here's another chappie for you.
I Wish I Loved the Human Race…They all looked around in awe.
"My goodness. Is your mind really this empty?" Hermione asked Yami.
"This isn't my mind." Said Yami, obviously irked. "This is our soul corridor. My mind is through this door." He opened the door on the side.
They all gasped when they saw the huge place that was before them. Completely made of bricks, the enormous room with thousands of doors protruding from the ground or even the ceiling, with upside-down staircases too.
"Wow. This is big." Said Ron simply.
"You don't know the half of it." Yugi sighed.
"This place makes Gringotts look like a little hole in the ground." Said Hermione.
"Well, lets find this guy and get out of here." Said Ryou. "This place gives me the creeps."
"It can't be as bad as the tomb robber's mind." Pointed out Malik. Ryou shivered.
"I never go in there."
"You don't want to know what's in there." Bakura said grinning.
"Let's just go!" said Seto. They got the point and split up.
They searched and searched. And searched. And searched. And searched and searched and searched and searched and searched and searched and searched and searched and searched and searched and searched and searched and searched and searched and searched and searched…
But we all know how big Yami's mind is, right?
"This is worse then Gringotts!" moaned Ron after a few hours.
"What are the chances that we would stumble upon the room with the mummies five times?" Yugi said angrily. (You know, from the YuGiOh Movie?)
"I'd say about 20,000,000,000 to 1." Emily said.
"And we still haven't found the person who is in here!" growled Yami.
"Hey, where's the Tomb Robber and the Psycho?" asked Seto.
"They left a long time ago." Said Ryou. Suddenly a loud explosion echoed through the corridor in which the group was searching..
"OUCH!" yelled Yugi and Yami as loud as the explosion was. They clutched their heads and moaned. They ran around the corner to find a death eater standing next to a door that he had just blown up. Once he found he had been discovered, he dissapeared with a crack.
"Hey!" said Emily. "That was the same guy that I saw on the Hogwarts Express."
"Well, he's gone. Can we leave now?" Said Harry.
"Wait a second guys. Lets find out what he was searching for." Yugi said. They peered in the room that the Death Eater was about to go inside and found…
Memories.
The huge room that they entered was filled with memories. The walls, ceiling, and floor were all covered with screens that showed random memories that Yami had.
"Why would a death eater want to get in here?" asked Hermione.
"Well, all he would have to do is find the right memories and he would get complete knowledge of the Millennium Items." Said Yugi.
"Hey, check this out! We're standing on the time we kicked Marik's butt!" said Yami. They all looked down at the memory.
"You're right." Said Seto. "Back at the battle city finals."
"We should get out of here." Mumbled Malik.
"Yeah, our bodies are just standing out there." Pointed out Ryou.
"Alright." Said Yami.
"Er… How do we get out?" asked Harry.
"Well, I'll go back into my body and get Shadi to use the Millennium Key." Said Yugi. Then he dissapeared. A few minuets later, the rest of them were sent back to their bodies. They explained what happened to Shadi.
"Well, I don't know about you, but I'm sleepy!" said Ron, yawning.
"That's understandable. It is 11:29." Said Shadi, looking at the clock in his room.
"Jeez! If the teachers catch us out of bed this late, we'll be dead for sure!" said Ron.
"Couldn't we just explain what happened?" asked Ryou. "They all know our secret, so it wouldn't matter, would it?"
"Not if it's Snape or Filth, er, I mean Filtch." Said Harry. They all started laughing. Harry pulled out the Marauders Map.
"I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good." He said, pointing his wand at it. It unfolded and the map of Hogwarts appeared on it.
"Wow!" Everyone except Harry, Ron, and Hermione gasped.
"Where did you get that thing?" asked Malik.
"Long story. I'll tell you later." Said Harry. He studied the map. Luckily, none of the teachers or Prefects were around.
"Lets go!" Said Harry. They tip toed down the long corridors with Harry at the front.
It was a long way back to the Common room, and Emily got bored. She pulled out a poetry book and started reading it. She stopped and studied a interesting poem that was by a Muggle named Walter Raleigh.
I wish I loved the human race;
I wish I loved its silly face;
I wish I liked the way it walks;
I wish I liked the way it talks;
And when I'm introduced to one:
I wish I thought "what jolly fun".
"That's interesting." She said softly to herself. Suddenly Seto grabbed the book out of her hands and looked at it.
"Hey!" she said, trying to get the book back. After reading the poem, he tossed it back to her.
"That is not at all interesting. It is entirely wrong. The human race as a whole does not have a face, it does not have a way it walks and it does not have a way it talks. This person was obviously insane." He said, smirking.
"Are you always this stupid, or are you making a special effort today?" she retorted. "Poems hardly ever make sense if you think about them that way. You have to open up your heart to find the true meaning."
"If I opened up my heart, it would stop beating and I would die." Seto said, glaring.
"Why do you always take things so literally?"
"The point is, there is nothing to be gained by reading ridiculous poems."
"Jerk!"
They went on arguing. With all this happening, Harry forgot to check the map until it was almost to late. When he finally did, he saw that two prefects coming towards them on both sides. He gasped. They had no where to run. Then, Harry realized that he was right next to the Room of Requirement.
"Prefects!" he said in a hushed whisper, pointing at the map. "Quickly, in here." They followed Harry into the Room of Requirement. Now, it was just a large room, perfect for hiding in.
"This is the Room of Requirement? Not very impressive." Said Seto, looking around.
"It doesn't need to be impressive. We only need it to hide in." said Harry. He looked down at the map and saw that the two prefects were making their way towards the prefect bathrooms on the other side of the school. He waited until they were far away and then motioned to the others to follow him.
Once again, they were tip toeing in single file. It wasn't long before they found the portrait of the Fat Lady. She murmured about how they should be in bed after opening at the password (Pixie Dust). The boys and girls separated and murmured 'good night' to each other. Soon they were all sleeping soundly. It only seemed like five minuets before the boys were awakened by Hermione and Emily.
"Wake up or we'll miss breakfast!" said Hermione loudly. They mumbled sleepy complaints as the girls went around and shook their beds. Emily pointed her wand at Seto's head and it blew a extremely loud blast at him that sounded like the horns that muggles blew at football games. He clapped his hands to his ears and jumped up. Emily laughed and walked out of the room.
"Hmph." Said Seto, rubbing his head. "Hey Harry, since you know a lot about magic and I don't, could you help me with something?"
"What is it?" asked Harry.
"Well, I got this idea. What if I were to make modifications to my technology so that it would work here at Hogwarts? Do you think it could be done?" he said.
"I think so!" said Ron.
"I don't know Ron… It might work." Said Harry skeptically.
"I'm going to try it." Said Seto. "But seeing as I'm not so good at all this Wizarding stuff, I was wondering if you would help me."
"Of course! But we should get Hermione top help to." Said Harry.
"Lets discuss this after breakfast." Said Ron. Seto also realized that his stomach was rumbling, so he nodded and got dressed. It was of course, as delicious as ever. As they were eating, Harry noticed something strange.
"Hey, where do you suppose Nearly-Headless Nick is?" he commented while chewing on a piece of toast. "I haven't seen him anywhere."
"Dunno." Said Ron, his mouth full of a jelly doughnut.
"Who's Nearly-Headless Nick?" asked Ryou.
"I am!" said a voice on his right side.
"Eeep!" squeaked Ryou. Nick ignored this.
"And I prefer to be called Sir Nicholas de Mim-"
"Yeah, yeah…" said Ron. Nick's head toppled over and hung there limply by the only strand of tissue left. Ryou screamed. Malik looked fascinated. Seto grimaced. Emily clapped her hand over her mouth. Yugi started choking on his bacon. Nick floated off with a 'Hmph'.
"That's why they call him 'Nearly-Headless Nick'." Said Hermione, shrugging. Yugi started to turn purple, then finally swallowed the bit of bacon lodged in his mouth.
The schedules were handed out. Harry looked at his and grinned. Defense against the Dark Arts was first. As soon as breakfast was done they hurried to the Defense against the Dark Arts classroom.
Harry couldn't wait to see Sirius. He hadn't gotten a chance to speak with him for a long time. He also wanted to see what he did with the classroom. Hopefully he had gotten all the horrible things that Umbridge had put up, especially those horrible plates with kittens on them. He sped up and the others fell behind. He didn't care. He wanted to see Sirius! He was way ahead of the others when he reached the Defense Against the Dark Arts room. Without thinking, he opened the door and stepped inside. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
"Hello?" he called, stepping into the darkness and closing the door behind him. There was no answer. First he took out his wand and said Lumos, but it didn't ignite. 'That's weird.' Harry thought. Then he searched for a torch or something for some light, but to no avail. It was creepy being here in the dark classroom… His footsteps echoed as he walked deeper and deeper into the darkness.
"BOO!"
