Chapter Five:
By Lunch

Sighing Yugi closed the door. "The two of you have a lot of explaining to do."

"Yes Master"

"Come Remus, you can have my bed. I can sleep on the couch."

"No, I'm not going to displace you. I'm perfectly fine sleeping on the couch." Remus protested.

"The couch is too small for you. Besides when my friends sleepover I usually sleep on the couch. It's easier to talk after lights out." this last was whispered conspiratorially. "Besides you have to be well rested if you're to protect me."

With a sigh Remus conceded. He allowed himself to be led to the end of the hall. The first impression he had of Yugi's room was messy. However upon closer inspection it was quite organized, just crowded. The shelves by the door were covered in board games and solved puzzles. The few books the shelves held were books of riddles. The bed placed below the window was covered in stuffed creatures. The open closet doors revealed leather. Leather shirts, pants, belts, and jackets. The walls were covered in posters. The posters advertised games, tournaments, and Duel Monsters. There were even images of Egypt. A plushie hit him in the back of his head.

While he'd been examining the room Yugi had been clearing the bed. Tossing the plushies every which way.

"Sorry. I changed the sheets this morning."

"Thank you, Yugi," Remus murmured, "but what are you going to do with Harry?"

"Who?...Oh you mean the boy Cel and Dark Magician found?"

"Yes, his name is Harry James Potter. He's the son of my best friend."

"Do you trust him?"

"With my life."

"Then in the morning I'll get Yami or Bakura to summon Dian Keto. He'll be up and walking by lunch." Yugi then grabbed his pajamas before skipping out the door. "Goodnight Remus, Cel will watch over Harry tonight."

Smiling softly Remus Apperated to his flat in London. Gathering his belongings Remus located the landlord. He paid for the time he'd spent there before explaining his rather abrupt departure. He then Apperated back to the Game Shop where he placed his belongings next to the door.

Deciding it was best, Remus changed into his nightshirt before crawling under the covers. He fell asleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Yugi re-entered the living room wearing his Dark Magician pajamas carrying a blanket and pillow.

"Oi Yugi!" What are you doing still up? Thought you'd gone to bed already." Joey called out.

"I'd forgotten about our other guest so I gave Remus my room for now." Yugi yawned. "Why are the wizards still here?"

"They want to meet Yami," Rebecca answered

"He's in his room sleeping. Maybe you should come back sometime tomorrow." Yugi lied.

"He does have to be up early to help me with the shop," Grandpa spoke.

/That wasn't a very good lie Yugi./

/I hate lying/

/Then I will make your lie a truth. Goodnight Yugi./

/'Night Yami./

"Um…you really need to go now. Especially since you're sitting on my bed for the night."

"We will talk more tomorrow Yugi," Isis stood, " Pleasant dreams,"

"Mr. Mouto." Marik nodded. "Yugi, there's something we need to tell you. It can wait till tomorrow. Goodnight."

Odeon stood silently following his adopted siblings to the door. The rest of Yugi's friends left with a chorus of 'Goodnight Yugi'. Before Joey left he yelled "Duel ya tomorra' Yuuug."

"I must be leaving. Rebecca and I will be heading to Egypt early tomorrow morning and I wish to be well rested before boarding the plane to Cairo. Come Rebecca." Professor Hawkins smiled.

They left leaving the wizards and Yugi alone. Yugi ignored them as he prepared his bed. The wizards studied him.

"Are you certain Remus is the best choice for a bodyguard, Albus?" Molly whispered, "He is a werewolf. Quite dangerous for this sweet little boy."

"Excuse me Mrs. Weasley I'd rather have Remus following me than any of you. I don't know if you'd put my safety before yours. I know Remus would." Yugi stated, "If you'd please leave I'd like to get some sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow so I can help Grandpa."

"Of course, our apologies for keeping you up so late." Albus smiled warmly, "We'll take our leave now. Goodnight."

The wizards Apperated out with a 'pop'.

Arriving at 12 Grimmauld Place they entered. The meeting of the Order of the Phoenix was just beginning when they stepped through the kitchen door.

"Thank you for coming. Has there been any word on Harry's whereabouts?" Albus sat.

Everyone shook their heads, "It's appears as if he's disappeared into thin air. He hasn't used magic since he's gone missing." Mad-Eye growled.

"The Dark Lord doesn't know where he is." Severus spoke.

"Keep looking, he couldn't have gone far." Albus sighed.

"Headmaster where's Lupin. The full moon isn't for a few more days?" Mad-Eye inquired gruffly.

"He's on a mission in Japan."

"Japan! What's in Japan?" Mad-Eye ground out.

"Apparently the Key to the Shadows. Remus is staying there to ensure the one who knows its whereabouts isn't taken by Voldemort." Albus sighed. "It would be best if he came and stayed here but…his servants threatened our lives. Remus did the same."

"Snape do you know why You-Know-Who wants the Key to the Shadows?" Molly asked.

"He believes that this Key would be able to grant him immortality and the power to bring back the dead."

"Who would he want to bring back?" Tonks muttered, "None of his Death Eaters have been killed."

"He wants to bring back Salazar Slytherin," Snape snarled, "He also wishes to raise an army of the undead."

"You should have brought that boy back with you!" Moody growled.

"We would have. However the two servants of his we met were immune to the spells I tried on them," Albus sighed, "If we tried to remove the boy from his home without his permission there would have been nothing left of us. Not even a finger."

"Surely you're exaggerating, Albus," Minerva spoke.

"He's not. We were almost a head shorter when we suggested he come with us."

"Decapitation spells are rather hard to perform. And energy draining. To be able to cast—"

"He came at us with a sword," Tonks said dryly.

"A sword!"

"Yes a sword. Only one of them looked like they were magically inclined. The child, Yugi, called him Dark Magician." Arthur spoke, "He radiated power. He called a little boy master."

"This boy could become the next Dark Lord. He should be removed from the picture now." Mad-Eye ground out.

"He's just a child. He looks so innocent. He went to bed without any argument. He's polite and well mannered. No, I don't believe that sweet little boy would ever become the next Dark Lord." Molly argued.

"Remember what that Bakura kid had said, mother. He'd befriended two of the people who've tried to kill him," Bill spoke up earning a glare from his mother, "And he said he'd been hit by the Stunning Charm, if his description was correct, without being knocked unconscious."

"That's impossible, unless two souls reside willingly in the same body. And one of them would have to be over five thousand years for it to happen." Mad-Eye mused. "He must have been hit by a different spell. It's just—"

"I for one believe he's telling the truth. I only caught him in one lie, when we asked to see Yami. The sword wielder was an elf. He was the most protective out of the three." Albus interrupted.

"Three, Headmaster?" Snape questioned.

"Remus was the third. He went crazy when I approached the boy with my wand drawn. Remus called him Master as well." Bill answered softly.

"It's getting late. We should go find our beds." Albus rose, "Keep your eyes open for any sign of Harry."

With that he left.

"Kkwwy!"

Yugi opened his large amethyst eyes. Blinking he saw large green eyes inches from his own.

"Hey Koribou. Did you have fun last night?"

"Kkwwwy!" rubbing against Yugi, Koribou sighed.

Hearing a choking sound Yugi looked over to see Remus staring at him incredulously.

"He wakes me up like this every morning. He makes certain I'm on time for school."

"It's summer break! You should be allowed to sleep in!"

"But I still need to help Grandpa with the shop so I still have to get up early," Yugi shrugged, " Besides it's a great way to wake up in the morning."

"You were going to help Harry this morning, right?" Yugi nodded. "Celtic Guardian says he's taken a turn for the worse."

"Master Yugi, Harry will be dead by lunch if he doesn't get help now. I've tried my herbal remedies." Cel entered the living room.

"I'll get Yami up then we'll go see to him okay?" Yugi jumped off the couch.

/YAMI! WAKE UP/ Yugi heard a thump from the Pharaoh's soul room. /Yami you have to get up now. I made a promise last night and I don't want to break it./

/I'm up Yugi. Did you have to yell like that/

/Yes, now take over. You have someone to heal./

"Celtic Guardian, how bad is he?" Yugi's voice had deepened.

"He's severely malnourished and dehydrated. He has two broken, three fractured ribs. He has cuts of varying length and depth all over his torso, arms and legs. Bruises and burns also cover his body. Most of the cuts and burns are infected. His right shoulder is dislocated. He also has a dangerously high fever."

Remus stumbled over to the couch and sat down hard. Horror painting his features.

"Draw a lukewarm bath and place him in it. That should help with the dehydration and cleanse his wounds. Refresh the water as needed. I'll be back soon; I'll need help to fulfill Yugi's promise." Bowing Celtic Guardian left to do as ordered. "Remus, pull yourself together, I need you to inform Grandpa that Yugi wont be able to help around the shop this morning."

Looking up into the hard crimson eyes Remus jumped to his feet. "Where's Yugi? He trusts me to protect him and—"

"He's safe Remus. He's currently playing in his Soul Room."

"Soul Room?" Remus' curiosity overrode his fears for a moment, "What exactly is a Soul Room?"

"I'll explain later. Right now you need to tell Yugi's Grandpa that he won't be able to help this morning. Dark Magician, go talk to Bakura and make certain he comes over, even if you have to enlist Obelisks help to drag him here."

"Of course, Master Yami," he was gone in a swirl of purple tinted shadows.

Remus had already left to inform Yugi's Grandfather that Yugi wouldn't be helping him that morning and to offer his own aid. Yami was currently looking through his cards summoning the monsters that could help. He then removed the magic cards he possessed that would also help.

"There is a boy here who's been severely beaten. I've summoned you here to help me heal him. If we do nothing he will be dead by lunch. Yugi promised to have him up and walking. Dark Magician has gone to fetch Bakura to help. Cel's keeping him cool and washing his wounds."

The monsters glanced at each other. For their master to ask the Thief King for help then he must really need it. They nodded, following him to the bathroom.

"His fevers down, and his cuts and burns are cleaned out Master Yami," Cel spoke from his position by the tub.

"Good if we keep him in there any longer he might catch cold. Cel go fetch a pair of Yugi's pajama pants. Myst help me dry him off."

"Bakura! Lord Bakura!"

"Yes, what is it?"

"Master Yami requires your aid and asks that you accompany me." Dark Magician held his breath.

"What does he want? A duel? If so he can shove it—"

"No! Master Yami doesn't ask for a duel. He asks you to aid him in healing a boy."

Please Bakura. He sounds sincere

\Quiet fool. Anyone can sound sincere\

"The boy Master Yami is trying to save was beaten, starved and is severely dehydrated. He won't survive without your help." Dark Magician almost begged.

"Fine. Let me get dressed so I can walk over."

"No time for that. Just put a shirt on and I'll open a portal for us. It's quicker."

Bakura threw a shirt on and grabbed his deck. Dark Magician already had a portal open.

"This leads to the guest bedroom."

Stepping through the pair saw the Pharaoh in a pair of Dark Magician pajamas directing Mystical Elf and his other helpers.

"Master, I will wait in the Shadow Ream." Dark Magician bowed before melting into the shadows.

If the Pharaoh heard him he did not show it. Instead he waved Celtic Guardian to explain what they were dealing with. Harry potter lay on the bed barely breathing. He was wearing Yugi's koribou pajama pants.

"Couldn't find anything dignified for the poor boy to wear, Pharaoh?" Bakura sneered.

"We don't have time for petty insults Bakura. If we don't do anything soon he'll die." Yami's voice was tired, "I've done all I can with the knowledge I possess. I've never needed to care for my own wounds. You on the other hand, have. In this matter I will take orders from you."

Bakura stared. He didn't know what to say.

Don't say anything, just go with it

\Of course. Yugi probably put him up to it\

"Where's the other you?"

"I've locked him in his Soul Room. I don't want him to see this." Yami sighed, "I don't think Ryou should either. We don't need distractions."

\Into your Soul Room, NOW\

Why?

\You've seen enough. I do want you to stop being such a weakling, but I don't want you to see this.\

A soft click echoed through Bakura's mind as his lighter half locked his Soul Room door. Turning back to the problem at hand Bakura gestured for Celtic Guardian to explain the boy's condition. By the end of the explanation he was furious. In all his life he'd never seen anyone with such horrendous wounds. Not even in the Pharaoh's dungeons.

"Do you know who did this?" Bakura demanded.

"No. Cel and Dark Magician found him like this last night. We didn't know how severe his condition was until this morning." Yami sighed.

"When he wakes I'm going to ask. My Man-Eater Bug is getting hungry." Bakura got to work.

Monster after monster was summoned. Any that would be remotely helpful. Healing spells were cast in abundance. Cursing could be heard in the Game Shop floating down the stairs. It was a quarter to noon when all of Harry's wounds had been healed. He was still severely malnourished and dehydrated.

"I'm calling Kaiba. He can send a doctor over." Yami sighed exhausted.

"Call Mokuba first. He'd have better luck convincing Kaiba to do something than you." Bakura sat heavily in the wooden chair they'd placed by Harry's bed.

Yami picked up the phone.

/Yugi you're better at this. Could you call Mokuba and ask him to convince Kaiba to send a physician. Bakura and I have done all we can for him./

Yugi took over. Dialing the Kaiba mansion Yugi waited for someone to pick up. Mokuba and Yugi chatted for a bit before Mokuba promised to talk to his brother.

"If he doesn't agree tell him I'll eat all the sugar I can and go visit him at the office." Yugi said before hanging up.

Glancing at the clock it was five minutes to noon. The door opened and Remus stepped in.

"How is he?"

"Yami and Bakura have healed his cuts, burns and bruises. They can't do much else for him.

"Is it alright if I sit with him?"

/Yami/

A snore was the only answer he got. Yugi looked over and saw Bakura a fast asleep in the hard wooden chair.

"Go right ahead. But be quiet both Yami and Bakura are sleeping."

Remus sat gently beside Harry taking a hand in his own. Silently praying that Harry would be alright. The phone ringing startled him. Yugi answered it. Seto Kaiba was on the other side. Talking fast Yugi managed to convince the CEO of the need for the doctor.

"If you want proof of what I'm talking about come over and take a peak. Just send the doctor please." Yugi stood there praying Kaiba took his offer. The CEO did.

Hanging up Yugi bounced over to Bakura. Shaking him awake Yugi pointed out that holding so many creatures out of the Shadow Realm was tiring. Bakura tiredly dismissed his servants and unlocked Ryou's Soul Room door. Hugging Remus, Yugi announced a doctor would be there within the hour with Kaiba.

The great Grandfather's clock in the living room tolled the hour as Harry's eyes began to flutter open.
