The Potter Twins and the Sorcerers Stone
Chapter 2: More then holograms
It has been ten years after old Mrs. Marge Dursley woken up to find the Potter's daughter at her door step, though her street had hardly changed. The sun and moon rose and set over the same neat little gardens as it has done for the past couple of years.
The only sign of change that happened over the years was the pictures of a beautiful blond little girl wearing a sun bonnet- but Daffie Dursley was no longer an infant, the pictures shown a skinny blond girl holding a trophy for her first beauty pageant, on a pony in the fair, on the beach with her grandmother, being adored by many of her relatives. The room showed no sign of another girl that lived there too.
Yet Jasmine Potter was still there, drawing with the scraps of colored pencils at the moment, but not for long. Her Great Aunt Marge screamed at the top of her lungs making the first noise Jasmine heard all day.
"Jasmine, get up now!"
Jasmine immediately put her drawings and pencils away in the little chest under her bed. She heard rapping at the door.
"Up!" she screeched.
Jasmine heard Marge walking towards the kitchen and the sound of the sizzling frying pan over the stove. She put away the drawing of a dream she had once. It was a very good dream. It was a dream of a flying motorcycle. She had a strange feeling that she had the dream once before. Once again her Great Aunt was outside the door.
"Are you up yet?"
"Almost" she replied.
"Well, get a move on it, I want you to look after the bacon, eggs and pancakes. Don't you think about letting it burn, I want everything in place for Daffie's birthday."
Jasmine groaned.
"What did you say?" her great aunt snapped through the door.
"Nothing at all, nothing, at all…"
'Daffie's birthday how could she have forgotten?'
Jasmine reluctantly got out of bed and got dressed. Realizing that she was missing her favorite hair ribbon. She found it under her bed with a spider on it. She picked it up and put it on her dresser. She wasn't afraid of spiders or bugs since she lived in a cupboard under the stairs of the basement. Afetr getting dressed Jasmine huridly went upstairs to do her job.
The table was buried under the amount of Daffie's birthday presents. It looked like Daffie got a new laptop she wanted. Not to mention another flat screen and a pink motorcycle. Exactly why Daffie wanted a motorcycle was a mystery to Jasmine for Daffie always had Great Aunt Marge drive her anywhere she wanted.
Perhaps it was because of the cupboard because Jasmine was very small and skinny for her age. She looked even smaller because she had to wear all of Daffie's old clothes. Since Daffie was about ten times taller then her she did not fit into them very well. The little girl had a round face like all kids do when they're eight years old, knobby knees, unusual violet hair, and bright blue eyes. The only real thing that Jasmine liked about her appearance was a small lightning shaped scar on her forehead. She had it for as long as she could remember, and the first question she ever asked her Aunt Marge was how she got it.
"In a car crash when your parents died," she would reply"and don't ask questions!"
Don't ask questions were the first rule of life with Great Aunt Dursley. Aunt Marge reentered the kitchen as Jasmine was turning over a pancake.
"Brush your hair!" shouted Aunt Marge.
She sat down reading a magazine mumbling that Jasmine needed a hair cut. Jasmine must have had more haircuts then the rest of the kids in her class put together. It made no difference anyway; her hair just simply grew back that way—all over the place up to her waist. Jasmine was busy turning the bacon when she heard Daffie come running down stairs into the kitchen.
"Happy Birthday Daffie" Aunt Marge exclaimed.
Daffie did squeal and jumped up and down. She didn't even crack a smile.
"How many presents are there?"
"There are 87, counted them my self."
Jasmine covered her ears knowing that Daffie was going to have another tantrum.
"AT MY LAST BIRTHDAY THERE WERE 88 PRESANTS! YOU RIPPED ME OFF!"
Jasmine looked on to see that Aunt Marge was trying to calm Daffie down without succeeding.
"Don't worry my dear, when we get to the duel arena with Samantha we will pick you up three more presents and get you an autograph with the Yugi Muto."
Daffie stopped crying almost instantly. She always did when Aunt Marge brought up Yugi Muto. He was Daffie's idol. Jasmine only saw him once on television when he won some tournament in battle city. Daffie had over a thousand duel monsters cards. She did not even respect them. Jasmine thought the cards were magnificent works of art so she tried to keep them out of Daffie's reach as long as she could. She especially took care of her two favorite cards, the Dark Magician and the Dark Magician Girl.
She forgot all of this though when she remembered that she would have to stay home at her elderly neighbor's house. She always missed Daffie's birthday parties and had to stay with old Mrs. Bayuka. She made Jasmine look at pictures of her cats. Once in a while she would show Jasmine some ancient Egyptian artifacts just for pleasure, but that was really rare.
"I have to see him! He is the hottest, best duelist since Seto Kaiba!"
Jasmine heard Daffie exclaim this to many times. That was when the phone rang and Aunt Marge decided to go and answer the call. Daffie then turned to Jasmine who was busy eating a pancake. She knew she was in trouble.
"I feel so sorry for you; I know how much you love to watch the duels. It's such a shame that I will also be talking to Yugi Muto about your favorite cards and how my cruel cousin abused them."
Jasmine usually got used to Daffie's ranting, but she hated when people blamed things on her that she did not do. You would think she would have gotten used to it after all of those years.
"Not only that, but with all this beauty Yugi Muto will surly swoon before me."
"You two would make an exhalent couple, after all you have no brain and I doubt he has a brain either under that pointy hair."
Jasmine made a bad move for Daffie came charging at her knocking her to the floor with all of her strength.
"Get off me!"
When Daffie was just about to slap Jasmine in the face Aunt Marge came in with a very bad mood.
"I am sorry to say this Daffie, but Mrs. Bayuka can not baby sit Jasmine today."
"WHAT!" Daffie shrieked at the top of her lungs.
"There is know one else that can watch after her."
Daffie was about to throw another fit when the door bell rang. Aunt Marge went and answered the door. Samantha was standing out side looking a bit devilish like she always does.
"So are we ready to go see the duel's?"
"You bet."
Samantha and Daffie nearly skipped out the door. Jasmine sulked on the way there. When Jasmine got into the car she was thankful that she got the window seat. She hated being in the middle for she knew that Samantha and Daffie would most defiantly crush her. When she got to the duel arena Jasmine thought this would be the best day in her entire life.
First they decided to get ice cream at the front of the arena. Aunt Marge was too late to pull Jasmine away for the lady at the counter asked for what she wanted. Jasmine got a strawberry shortcake ice cream cone. Daffie and Samantha got sundaes. They then went to the card shop where since it was a birthday party they got free card packs. Jasmine also received one. She slowly opened up the paper to find that she picked out the best cards that she thought ever existed. She got Kuriboh, Cure Mermaid, Mermaid's tears, Magical Hats, Sage's Stone, and her two favorite cards the Dark Magician, and Dark Magician Girl. Jasmine hid them quickly for she thought that if Daffie saw them she would most likely take them away from her.
It was almost time for the duel to start. Jasmine and the rest of the party sat front row of the duel arena. She watched as Yugi Muto and the rival duelist came on stage.
"OMG he's dueling Seto Kaiba!"
"No way" Samantha replied.
When it was time to begin Yugi looked in the direction in the crowd to face the birthday party group he smiled and waved.
"He's waving at me!" Daffie shouted through the crowd.
She was so excited that she hit Jasmine smack in the face with her hand as she tumbled over.
"I would like to thank you all for coming. As most of you will know the birthday group gets to spend the rest of the day with the winning duelist."
Samantha and Daffie both screamed in union.
The announcer then shouted "Let the match begin!"
Yugi and Kaiba both shuffled each others cards and drew six.
Yugi then shouted that he would play two cards face down and end his turn.
"That was a really pathetic move. I summon Saggi the Dark Clown in attack mode."
To Jasmine's amazement a weird looking clown appeared on the duel arena.
"Next I play the magic card Trap Dispose!"
Just then a tornado came threatening to wipe out Yugi's trap card.
"Not so fast Kaiba I now play the card Dis-Spell!"
With that the tornado died.
"I play the Mammoth Graveyard."
A huge skeleton looking Mammoth appeared on the field looking ready to attack.
"I play one faced down monster and end my turn."
"That was a big mistake playing a low leveled monster like that, but then again you could just be wanting me to attack so you can play that trap card of your's."
Kaiba looked through his hands to see if he had any decent cards.
"I play the card Special Summoning! I can play any special summoned monster in my deck as long as it is below a certain number of attack points and I choose the XYZ Dragon Cannon!"
That was when a big mechanical looking machine appeared on the field. Kaiba then took a sly look at the card Yugi had faced down.
"XYZ Dragon Cannon go into defense mode!"
The Dragon Cannon then turned itself into a 'ready to pounce' like position.
"Bad mistake Kaiba; you should have attacked my Mammoth Grave Yard when you had the chance."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that I am now activating my magic card Brain Control! It allows me to control your monster for one turn."
Suddenly out of the card appeared two hands grabbing the XYZ Dragon Cannon.
"Now I sacrifice that XYZ dragon cannon and the Mammoth Graveyard to summon the Dark Magician!"
Either the whole crowd was screaming or Daffie and Samantha were really loud because Jasmine thought she was going to go depth after the fuss they just made. That was when Jasmine's favorite monster appeared on the field. Jasmine always thought he was quite handsome, but had a feeling he was out of her league. After all he was about ten years older then she and he was also a hologram.
"Now Dark Magician attack Kaiba's life points directly, Dark Magic Attack!"
The Dark Magician looked like it was about to attack when he quickly glanced in Jasmine's direction. He immediately stopped and stared out at the birthday seats.
"Dark Magician what are you waiting for?"
The Dark Magician held up his hand in a position that told Yugi to stop talking. Yugi was in deep shock. All eyes stared in Jasmine's direction. Then Jasmine thought the Dark Magician did the strangest thing. He smiled and bowed to Jasmine. Jasmine's face turned a bright red when he did this. No one has ever bowed to her 'and if someone did she never thought it would be the Dark Magician.'
When the Dark Magician stood up he smiled and nodded at Jasmine then faced Kaiba's direction and attacked. Kaiba did not notice for he was still in shock for the Dark Magician's actions.
"Um…well uh, I now I play one faced down card and end my turn."
The Dark Magician stood in an arms crossed victory like pose. Every once in a while he would glance in Jasmine's direction and immediately turn back. Kaiba looked at a card in his hand and I saw and opportunity.
"I play one card faced down and then I discard two cards in my hand so I can summon Peten the Dark Clown."
A weird looking gay clown immediately appeared on the field and got his knife ready to battle.
"I end my turn."
Yugi looked down in his hand to see what he could use to summon his master plan.
"I now play the magic card Dark Magic Curtain to summon the Dark Magician Girl!"
A black scary looking curtain appeared in front of the Dark Magician and out stepped the blonde, green eyed, magician who looked ready for battle. The Dark Magician Girl looked ready to attack when the Dark Magician tapped her on the shoulder. She looked in his direction while he jerked his head in Jasmine's direction. She looked on and the moment she saw Jasmine she squealed up and down. The Dark Magician tried to calm her down. She started waving in the poor girl's direction that reluctantly waved back. This made her squeal and jump higher. Finally the Dark Magician pulled her from the air and made her face his direction. Accidentally he pulled her a bit to close and there faces where mere centimeters away from each other. The audience 'ooooooed' and they immediately pulled away from each other blushing. Both the mage's immediately turned and faced Kaiba's direction back in there battle position.
"Um…I end my turn." Kaiba then looked up with a sure fire way to win the duel.
"I play one card faced down and end my turn."
Yugi saw his chance to win.
"I activate my faced down card monster reborn! I choose to bring back your XYZ Dragon Cannon. I then play this spell-card Di-Polymerization to separate the XYZ Dragon Cannon into the three smaller dragons you used to create it. Now I sacrifice those three dragons to summon Slifer the Sky Dragon!"
That was when lightning shot from the sky and the clouds turned black. That was when a great big red snake-like dragon appeared from the sky heading its way to Yugi's side.
"You did exactly what I wanted you to do. I play the play the Dragon Capture Jar on the field."
"No you can't!"
"Oh, yes I can Yugi for you see the Dragon Capture Jar can capture any dragon including an Egyptian God."
Slifer the Sky Dragon then got sucked into the jar and was held captive.
"Then I play my faced down magic card Monster Reborn to bring back the Dragon Piper from the graveyard!"
A small jar then appeared right next to the Dragon Capture Jar and started playing a tune. That was when Slifer emerged from the jar and looked ready to attack Yugi.
"Now I believe that we have a new king of games. Say good bye to your life points Yugi."
Yugi looked like he was about to face defeat when something very peculiar happened at that very moment something that may have changed the coarse of history as we know it. Yes little Jasmine Potter had shouted at the dragon.
"Stop, do not destroy your master and you deck mates!"
That was when the dragon turned around to Jasmine's direction.
"Can't you see that this is wrong? Why are you doing this?"
The dragon motioned its head to the Dragon Piper who was still playing a tune.
"You are an Egyptian God for crying out loud! You can stand up to that pot! You're better then that."
Slifer then looked like it was considering this and added "You are right young one I should fight on my master and deck mates' side."
Jasmine stood dumbstruck. It had not occurred to her the dragon can understand everything she was saying. The dragon then flew back to Yugi's side of the field. It opened its first mouth and obliterated Kaiba and the rest of his life points. Yugi did not seem to notice though since his eyes were glued to Jasmine's. The little child felt a nervous chill going through her body as if she had done something horribly wrong.
Jasmine ran away from the spot as fast as she could and headed for the exit. She did not see that the Dark Magician nodded at the Dark Magician Girl who knew exactly what the Dark Magician had wanted to do. They dissolved off the playing field and into the cards that Jasmine now possessed. The young girl had kept running until she bumped into a boy with white hair and gold eyes.
"Sorry" Jasmine sniffed through her tear soaked eyes.
"Are you okay? I'm sorry I hurt you, here let me help."
The white hair boy was able to lift Jasmine up easily and set her down on her feet. She took a closer look at the boy and smiled. After all he was quite handsome.
"I'm sorry I hurt you."
He wiped Jasmine's tears off her face with his finger.
"You didn't hurt me."
"I'll help find your mother."
The young man took Jasmine's hand and walked her down the long hallways of the coliseum.
"Do you know where you last saw her?"
"That's the thing, I don't have a mother."
"Oh, I'm very sorry."
"It's okay my mother and father both died in a car crash when I was a baby."
"Then who is you guardian may I ask?"
"My Great Aunt, but I rather not see her."
"Why not?"
"Great Aunt Marge hated my parents along with most of the remaining family I had now. She makes sure that every day of my life if miserable."
"Then why may I ask did she bring you here?"
"She only wanted to take my cousin Daffie to see Yugi Moto; after all she is her biggest fan. She only brought me because she could find no one to baby sit me."
"Well how about this then, I am actually a friend of the king of games. If you want I can take you to him personally."
"That's okay; I don't really like the Yugi to much. He seems a bit too much into the game instead of focusing on other things."
"What sorts of things?"
"Maybe the artwork on the cards."
"I'm sure he will love to here that come with me."
"I don't know who you are though."
"My name is Ryou Bakura how about you?"
"My name is Jasmine Potter."
"Well then Jasmine let's go."
Ryou led Jasmine to a private area through the coliseum. That was when she saw Yugi Moto standing in the room talking to Kaiba with some witnesses in the background.
"Kaiba I told you, I don't know what happened in that duel, but there is another force at work."
"I am sick and tired of you trying to say that some magic voodoo is trying to manipulate a card game. You cheated and that is all I am going to say."
Bakura entered the room with Jasmine cowering behind him.
"Hello everyone!"
"Hey Bakura, how's it going?"
"I actually met a little friend when I was walking in the hallways. You can come out Jasmine there's no need to hide."
Jasmine slowly crept up from behind Bakura and stared down at the floor.
"Why hello little one."
Yugi slowly came closer to the little girl and kneeled down at her eye level.
"And what is you name?"
"J…J …Jasmine."
The little girl replied in a low whisper.
"What a beautiful name for a beautiful child."
Jasmine's checks started turning rosy.
"(Yugi can you here me?)"
The ancient spirit came in contact with his other self in there own mind communication.
"(Yes, I can here you Yami.)"
"(I think this is the other magic force I was sensing through out the duel.)"
"(Are you sure Yami? I mean she is only a child.)"
"(But can't you sense it hikari? There is a powerful magic force coming all from this little girl.)"
"(So you think she was the one the Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, and Slifer the Sky Dragon were paying so much attention to?)"
"(Yes, that's what I think.)"
The mind chat ended between the two as the ancient spirit directed his attention back towards Jasmine.
"So what are you favorite duel monsters cards?"
Jasmine immediately went through her pockets and found the package that contained both the Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl. Yugi took a close look at them and found that the two figures on the card where moving slightly.
'Could this be the affect of this young girl's magic' he thought.
"These are also your favorite cards right?"
"Yes of course." That's when Old Aunt Marge burst through the doors with Daffie and Samantha.
"Oh my god you're Yugi Moto!"
"Er…Hello you must be the birthday girl"
"And I'm her best friend!" Samantha suddenly blurt out.
"Shut up! I'm sorry about that my name's Daffie."
Samantha then nudged Daffie with her elbow in a kind of rude fashion."
"Oh, and this is my friend Sally"
"Samantha"
"Whatever"
Jasmine was slowly creeping to the door hoping not to get noticed, unfortunately it was too late. Daffie and Samantha spotted her and Jasmine could tell that she picked the wrong time to be there.
"And what do you think you're doing here?" Daffie said with a slight sneer.
"Um…I…uh"
Jasmine could not find the right words. After all what would she say?
"I got an Idea Daffie let us…"
Samantha started whispering very silently to Daffie, a grin slowly spread across the blonde girl's face.
"Well Jasmine I'm glad you came."
Jasmine was surprised and slightly suspicious,
'Daffie is never nice to me' she thought.
"Why don't you come here and I'll introduce you myself"
Jasmine started to walk towards Daffie, not that there was anything else she could really do. All she knew was the worst is yet to come.
"That's a good little girl, now COME HERE YOU LITTLE TOAD!"
Daffie and Samantha nearly pounced at Jasmine and where nearly beating her senseless. With tears pouring out of her eyes Jasmine wished that Daffie and Samantha could be anywhere, but here. She wished they could just disappear. Suddenly Jasmine could not feel the blows of Samantha and Daffie.
Only peeking out with the slips of her eyelids Jasmine soon realized why the blows have ceased. Daffie and Samantha were being blown away by a huge gust of wind.
For Jasmine all she could think was 'Too many weird things happening in one day.'
Soon after wards Daffie and Samantha were nowhere to be seen. Jasmine slowly backed away from room with tears in her eyes.
"Jasmine wait!"
But unfortunately she could not hear the cry's the pleas of either Yugi or Bakura for she could only here the sound of her tears running down her face.
