Hello. Here's chapter two. Thanks to my reviewers so far. I didn't think I'd get three reviews in less then two hours for any of my stories.
TENSHI: You never expect anything from people.
True. I try to avoid expecting things. Well, that's all I have to say. Enjoy the story.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The group landed outside of an empty lot. Bakura, Malik, and Marik were mad. They're lips had turned blue within the first half hour of their flight. "I ought to destroy that broom. I'm never flying that way again," Bakura said glaring at said broom. "I'll find another mode of transportation."
"Now Kura, don't break the broom because you got cold," Ryou said. "It won't do you any good."
"It'll make me feel better."
"So would this." Ryou snuggled up to Bakura and gave him a soft kiss on the lips. Bakura, being the natural dominant that he was, immediately took control of the kiss, sticking his tongue down Ryou's throat. Ryou moaned softly into the kiss and pulled Bakura closer. They broke apart gasping for air. "Feel better?"
"Much."
"Are you finished?" Lupin asked.
"Yes. Why? And what are we doing by an empty lot?" Ryou asked. He was handed a piece of paper.
"Memorize that."
"What, now?"
"Yes. You'll need it." Ryou memorized the words on the paper. When he had finished he nodded and handed the paper back to Lupin. Lupin burned it with a flame from his wand. "Now think about what you just read." As Ryou recited the words in his head a house appeared in the empty lot. "Welcome to the Order of the Phoenix headquarters." They were ushered inside the house, which was more like a small mansion. As they walked in a loud shout sounded.
"FILTHY MUDBLOODS LETTING A THIEF KING INTO THE HOUSE OF MY FATHERS…" the voice stopped.
"What was that?" Yami asked.
"My godfather's late mother," Harry answered. "She's a picture. I wonder what she meant about the thief king. There are no thief kings around here that I know of."
"I see," Bakura said thoughtfully.
/Don't say a word/ Ryou said through the mind link. /I don't want them knowing our past yet./
/Alright. I won't./ They were led to three rooms upstairs. Ryou and Bakura chose a room, Malik and Marik chose a room, and Yugi and Yami chose a room. Since it was around midnight they went to bed. "Goodnight Ryou, my koi."
"Goodnight Kura, my koi." They fell asleep. The next morning the hikaris woke up to the smell of pancakes. Ryou yawned and sat up in bed. Bakura was still out of it. "Kura. Kura, time to get up koi. It's time to eat." Bakura opened his eyes.
"Huh?"
"It's time for breakfast. I'm hungry."
"Alright, I'm up, I'm up." Bakura got up and pulled on a pair of black leather pants over his boxers. Then he pulled on a black leather shirt. Ryou put on a blue and white striped shirt and blue jeans. They walked out and met up with Malik who was wearing a lavender shirt and black pants, Marik who was wearing a black shirt and tan pants, Yami who was wearing blue leather pants and a black leather shirt, and Yugi who was wearing the same thing as Yami. They followed their noses to the kitchen, which was also the dining room. They sat at the table and were greeted by a woman with red hair.
"Good morning dears. I'm Mrs. Weasley. What would you like for breakfast?" she asked.
"Pancakes please," Ryou said. The others agreed to that order. Soon heaps of pancakes were sitting on their plates and the boys dug in. Soon Harry joined them with a red haired boy. "Good morning Harry. How was your night? And who's this?"
"This is my best friend Ron. My other best friend Hermione is in France this year. She won't be going to Hogwarts. My night was fine. No nightmares, which is rare these days."
"I had a nightmare," Malik mumbled.
Marik rubbed his back. "I know you did kitten. I'm sorry about that too."
"It wasn't you Marik. It was him."
"Do you mean your father?" Ryou asked curiously.
"That's the bastard he means," Marik replied.
"I was afraid of that."
"It's alright. I'm almost over it now," Malik said.
"Kitten, it will take a while to get over what he did to you and how he treated you. You're lucky I got rid of him."
"But it's been seven years. You think I would've gotten over it already."
"Some things take longer to heal then others."
"He's right you know," Bakura said. "Remember how long it took for me to get over the loss of my family? It seemed to take millennia."
"True. Our pasts are about equal in a way. Thank you Bakura, Marik, Ryou," Malik said. "I don't think I could survive without you."
"You couldn't without me," Marik said smirking.
Malik snuggled up to him. "You're right. I couldn't."
Marik wrapped an arm around Malik. "That's my kitten. Purr for me little one. Purr for me." Marik began running his fingers through Malik's hair and Malik purred softly. "That's it. Keep purring little kitten."
"I'm sorry to interrupt but we need to go get your supplies," said Mrs. Weasley. "Let's get going."
"Are we going by floo powder this time?" Harry asked.
"No. I don't want any of these boys to end up in Knockturn alley like you did. We're taking a pair of cars this time." They went outside to find two old Lincolns ready and waiting. Harry, Ron, Yami and Yugi got in one while Ryou, Bakura, Malik, and Marik got in the other. Mrs. Weasley joined Harry's group and a girl joined Bakura's group. The girl turned and smiled at Ryou.
"Hi. My name is Ginny. I'm in fifth year," she said.
"Pleased to meet you Ginny. I'm Ryou Bakura. This is Bakura Ryou, Malik Ishtar, and Marik Ishtar," Ryou said. Ginny turned to the Ishtars.
"Are you brothers?"
"No," Marik answered shortly, ending the conversation. Ginny turned around and faced the front. By this time they were just getting into London. They drove for a while in silence until they stopped outside a pub. "The Leaky Cauldron? This is where we're going to buy our stuff?"
"Well, not really. It's the entrance to get to the place where we buy our supplies. We get our stuff in Diagon alley." Ginny got out of the car. Malik, Marik, Ryou, and Bakura got out as well as the other car pulled up. Yugi, Yami, Harry, and Ron got out of the car joined by Mrs. Weasley.
"Come on boys and lady. Let's go," she said. They walked into the pub and heard a familiar song to some of them. One of Bakura's female friends, Tenshi Hikari, used to sing this song. It was Heaven by DJ Sammy. Ryou began humming along as they walked through the bar.
"Baby you're all that I want, when you're lying here in my arms. I'm finding it hard to believe we're in heaven. And love is all that I need and I found it there in your heart. It isn't too hard to see we're in heaven. Now, nothing could change what you mean to me. There's a lot that I could say but just hold me now, cause our love will light the way," Ryou sang along with the song as they walked out of the pub. Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Mrs. Weasley were staring at him. "What? I like that song. Reminds me of Bakura and me."
"You sing very well. I'm surprised. You don't look like a singer to me," Harry said.
Ryou blushed. "Well, I try to sing every now and then. Bakura's friend was teaching me some really good songs by a group called Evanescence. Her favorite is Tourniquet. I might sing that one sometime."
"What's her name?"
"Tenshi Hikari. It means Light Angel in Japanese. Tenshi means angel and hikari means light."
"So wouldn't her name mean angel light?"
"No. It means light angel. Trust me on this one."
"Okay. I suppose. Come on; let's get our supplies. I can't wait to see you guys get your wands. That's always exciting."
"Really? What happens?" Bakura asked.
"Well depending on the person and the wand you can blow things up with the wrong wand. When you get the right wand nothing will be destroyed but something will happen and you'll get a feeling."
"Cool. I love blowing things up," Marik said.
"Why?"
"Because it's fun. It's fun to set things on fire too."
"Isn't that the truth," Bakura said. Malik nodded in agreement.
"Okay, you guys are strange," Ron said. He tapped the wall that was in front of them with his wand and a hole appeared in the brick that he tapped. The hole spread to form an archway. "Welcome, to Diagon alley." Yugi, Yami, Malik, Marik, Ryou, and Bakura gasped. The alley was full of stores that sold all sorts of things. Robes, cauldrons, potions ingredients, wands, books, even pets. Bakura noticed with distaste a store that sold brooms and other things such as that. Suddenly he noticed a brightly colored store. He couldn't read the sign from here but as they past it he read it. It was 'Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes.' Ron noticed Bakura's stare. "That's my brothers' store. Fred and George are real tricksters. They love jokes and gags so watch out for them."
"Oh, I think I'm gonna like this store."
"You probably will. You seem to like that kind of thing. Come on, we have to get our money."
"But I don't have any money."
"Relax Kura, I have enough for both of us," Ryou said.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm positive." They went to Gringotts and traded their money in. Then they went on a wild cart ride down to Harry's vault and Ron's vault. Then they went shopping. First they got their books, then their robes. Harry had to get new ones and so did Ron because they had grown over the summer. Then they got cauldrons, potions ingredients, gloves, and other things. Then they went to get the newcomers their wands. They went to a store called Ollivanders. As they walked in Yugi shivered.
"This place is creepy," he said standing close to Yami.
"Exactly why I like it," Marik said.
"Good afternoon," said a voice making everyone jump. They turned to face an old man with silvery blue eyes. "Will you be needing wands?"
"Er, yes, we will be," Yugi said.
The old man smiled a very creepy smile. "Who would like to go first?"
"Me. I do," Marik said stepping forward.
"Very well." A tape measurer started measuring Marik as the old man, Ollivander, started flitting about the shelves taking boxes down. "That will do." Marik growled. He would've broken the damn thing had the measuring gone on any longer. Suddenly a wand was in his face. He took the wand and the desk blew up. He smirked.
"Awesome. But I suppose this is the wrong one."
"Yes it is. Try this one." Marik tried several wands before he found the right one. Papyrus reed and a heartstring from a powerful gold dragon (Ra). When he touched this wand the Eye of Horus glowed on his forehead and an image of the Rod appeared in front of him. Then Bakura went next. He got papyrus reed and a tail hair from a very stubborn unicorn. When he touched his wand the room lit up like the sun, and then went darker then the darkest night without stars or moon to guide a traveler. When the light returned to normal everyone blinked rapidly. Then Malik went. He got sakura and dragon heartstring. When he touched his wand the same thing happened with him as it had with Marik. Ryou went next. He got sakura and unicorn tail hair. When he touched his wand the Eye of Horus appeared on his forehead and an image of the Ring appeared in front of him. Yugi went fifth. He got sakura and a phoenix tail feather. When he got his wand the Eye of Horus appeared on his forehead and an image of the Puzzle appeared in front of him. Yami went last. He got papyrus reed and a phoenix tail feather. When he touched his wand the Eye of Horus appeared on his forehead and an image of the Puzzle appeared. The other six Sennen Items joined it and they formed a circle. Then they faded. They left the store and went back into the alley.
"Guys, I want a pet," Yugi said.
"Alright aibou. We can get a pet," Yami said. They walked into the pet shop and Yugi flitted around looking at all the animals. Finally he decided on a rare black owl and bought it. They went back to the mansion after they had finished their shopping. For the next few weeks the boys studied and read up on five years of magic, occasionally practicing a spell here and there. On September first they woke up early to get ready to go. They got dressed, packed, ate breakfast and waited until everyone was ready. Then they took the two Lincolns to King's Cross station. When they got their Yugi looked at his ticket.
"Platform nine and three quarters? Where's that?"
"It's just ahead," Harry replied. "Here, we'll show you." They had reached a pillar holding a platform nine sign. Harry ran toward it. Yugi and the others couldn't look away. When he was just about to hit the wall, he disappeared. Then Ron did the same thing with the same results. Then Ginny went.
"Go on dears. I'll follow you," said Mrs. Weasley. Yugi looked at Yami. Yami strode forward and disappeared. Yugi followed him. Then Malik, Marik, Ryou, and Bakura followed. Mrs. Weasley joined them seconds later. The boys and Ginny put their trunks on the train and boarded.
"By mum," Ron called out the doorway.
"By dears. See you at the end of the year." The train began to move and Harry closed the door. They went looking for a compartment and found an empty one. Ginny went to sit with her friends. They sat down and relaxed. Soon Bakura got bored.
"Ryou, I'm bored," Bakura said.
"Want to duel?" Ryou asked. He took out his deck.
Bakura shrugged. "Sure. Might as well. It'll pass the time." He took out his deck and they got on the floor. "Who's keeping track of life points?"
"I'll track Ryou's," Malik said.
"I'll track yours Bakura," Marik said. The duel began. Three hours later the duel ended with, surprisingly enough, Ryou as the winner. "Damn Bakura. Never thought you'd lose to Ryou."
"Shut up Tomb Keeper," Bakura growled sitting down. Ryou climbed into his lap.
"You'll beat me next time Kura," Ryou said snuggling up to him. The door opened and a lady with a cart smiled at them.
"Anything off the trolley dears?" she asked in a sugary voice.
"We'll take the lot," Harry said pulling out a handful of money. He bought treats for everyone and when the door was shut everyone dug in. Bakura went for a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans.
"Watch those," Ron warned. "They mean every flavor. There's chocolate and peppermint but there's also spinach, liver, and tripe."
"So? I hope they have at least some good ones," Bakura said pulling out a red one. He bit into it and his eyes lit up. "No fucking way. This is blood flavored. Sweet as the afterlife." Bakura dug around the box looking for more blood flavored ones. Sadly he was disappointed. The train ride passed quickly until the door opened and revealed a boy with blonde hair. He looked around at Ryou and Bakura's hair and Yami and Yugi's hair.
"What did you do to your hair?" he asked rudely.
"It's natural," Ryou said reaching up to run his hand through said hair self-consciously.
"It can't be natural. You're too young to have white hair and hair doesn't come naturally in three colors."
"Well ours does," Bakura snapped. "Now leave before I get really angry."
The boy scoffed. "You can't do anything to me. I am Draco Malfoy of the Malfoy family. My father is strong in the ministry and he could ruin you."
"He couldn't do shit to me. Now leave before I draw my dagger." Everyone knew Bakura, Malik, and Marik carried daggers with them at all times for protection.
Malfoy paled more then he already was and left. "You know I didn't see Crabbe or Goyle with him," Harry said. "I wonder where they are, not that I care."
"Probably at Durmstrang this year," Ron said. When he got a questioning look from the newcomers he explained. "Durmstrang is a wizarding school in Bulgaria I believe. I'm not sure if that's where it is or not."
"Oh," Ryou said. "Is it a good school?"
"Not really. They seem to produce a lot of Death Eaters," Harry said.
"What are Death Eaters?"
"Death Eaters are the followers of You-Know-Who," Ron said.
"Actually we don't know who. Tell us," Yugi said.
"Voldemort. The Dark Lord, You-Know-Who, those are the names people call him. They're too scared to say his name. Only two people can say it without freaking out," Harry said.
"Really? Who?"
"Professor Dumbledore and me." The rest of the train ride went in relative silence. They finished the treats and when the ten-minute warning came on they changed into their robes. Malik and Marik changed with their backs to the door so no one could see the carvings there. Marik only had scars since his body was made from Malik's but you could still see them clearly. The train slowed and stopped. An announcement told everyone to leave their luggage on the train. They got off the train and looked around.
"Um, where do we go?" Ryou asked.
"I think you go with Hagrid across the lake. See you at the feast."
"Hagrid? Who's he?"
"He's a half giant. Don't worry, he's harmless. See you."
"See you." Harry and Ron headed for the carriages while Yugi, Yami, Ryou, Bakura, Malik, and Marik headed for the lakeshore. They spotted a giant man waving a lantern and calling for the first years. They walked up to him. "Are you Hagrid?"
"Aye, I am. Are you the transfers Dumbledore was talking about?" Hagrid asked.
"Yes we are. What are we supposed to do?"
"Get in a boat. No more then three in each." Yugi, Yami, and Ryou got in one boat while Bakura, Malik, and Marik got in another one. Once the boats were full, Hagrid, who had a boat to himself, shouted, "Onward." The boats started gliding across the black glass of the lake. After a few minutes Hagrid called "Duck." The students ducked as they went under something. It was too dark to see what. After they passed under the object, gasps filled the air.
"Oh my Ra! It's a castle," Yami said staring. "We're going to school in a castle."
"Obviously Pharaoh," Bakura called from a few feet away.
"Shut up Tomb Robber. Let me gawk in peace." They reached the base of the giant castle and got out of the boats. They walked up a slick hill to a wooden door and Hagrid knocked. A stern faced woman answered.
"The first years and transfers Professor McGonagall," he said.
"Thank you Hagrid. I'll take them from here," McGonagall said. She led the first years to a room with torches for light. The room itself was plain and circular, made from some type of stone. "We'll be ready for you shortly. I will return for you when we are." She left. The first years immediately turned to look at the transfers. The whispers started too.
"How'd they get their hair to do that?" whispered one girl.
"I don't know. Ask them," said a boy.
"How'd you get your hair to do that? Stand up like that?" the girl asked.
"It's natural," Yami said. "We don't use anything on it."
The girl scoffed. "Sure, and I'm the queen of England. What did you do?"
"I swear it's natural."
"I didn't think you swore Pharaoh," Marik said.
"Be quiet Tomb Keeper." Just then McGonagall came back.
"We're ready for you now," she said.
