Starry Night Dreams
Chapter 4
Shopping in Diagon Alley.

While in Madam Malkin's shop Yugi and tachi met up with Malik and Ishizu. They headed for the Florists and Blotts. Ishizu and Hagrid went to see about getting the books on the book list so that the others could catch up while wandering around the bookshop.

"So, how've you been?" Malik asked Serenity. She smiled at him. "I've been fine. How are you?" she asked. Malik shrugged. "Here and there..."he replied. Serenity giggled. Malik wandered over to by Ryou. "Hey Ryou." he smiled slyly. Ryou frowned at him suspiciously. "No, I won't." he said. Malik scowled. "You don't even know what I'm going to say!" Ryou watched him. "Of course I do, you want my yami to come out. I'll let him out just not in a book store." Malik laughed. "That's good judgement."

Malik went over to where Yugi was examining shelves and shelves of different types of books. Yugi smiled at him. "You like to read, right Malik?" Yugi asked. Malik nodded, picking up a wizards' novel. He raised his eyebrows in amusement and put it back. /Look at all these ancient Egyptian books on magic Yami. They're incredible/ Yami agreed. /Fascinating, to think there are now hidden wizarding societies and they know so much about the magic of ancient Egypt./ Yugi turned to Malik. "You think they know about the reign of Atemu and the millennium items?" he asked. Malik shaked his head. "No, only we do and of course a few chosen and … err… unchosen others." Yugi giggled. "Yeah I guess so." They finished buying their school books and bought a few books that they were interested in reading, most of them on ancient Egypt.

"So, why don't we head to the Magical Menagerie in case you guys' interested in buyin' a pet." Hagrid said. They walked over to the store and entered. They were greeted by the sounds of animals and other creatures foreign to them.

((Lemme out Ryou…please!)) Bakura pleaded. Ryou sighed and rolled his eyes. (Fine but only because you said please.) They switched places. Yami noticed and pleaded with Yugi and was also given freedom. "At last!" Yami Bakura stretched. "Freedom!" Hagrid watched him strangely. "Watch' yuh talking 'bout Ryou?" he asked. Bakura ignored him and strolled over to by Malik.

"If it isn't my old accomplice, Malik." Yami Bakura said nonchalantly. Malik laughed. "Bakura." He acknowledged him. Yami walked over to hang with them also. They were examining an extremely vicious looking animal. Ishizu was examining a group of interesting cats and meanwhile Serenity had wandered over to a cage with an exotic, strange and beautiful bird. "Amazing." She gasped. It was a light tan colour and had jewels embedded in it. It's eyes were different colours, violet and green. "It's a Yami no Yume." A lady wandered up behind her. "It's from Egypt and the most expensive bird in the shop." Serenity watched the bird longingly and Malik came to see what she was watching. Serenity filled him in on what she knew of the bird.

"It's supposed to grant your deepest desire." She finished. Malik raised an eyebrow. "Yeah? Why does it have a Japanese name if it's Egyptian?" Serenity shrugged. "I wondered the same thing."

A few minutes after they all left the shop. "Well I'll see yuh folks at Hogwarts. Got some business to do fer Professor Dumbledore." Hagrid waved a huge hand and left. Serenity was beaming. "Malik how'd you get her to agree to sell it to me for so low?" Malik smirked. "A little magic, I call my millennium rod." He laughed. Ishizu frowned. "Malik if you ever, ever use your rod like that again, you will be in so much trouble!" Ishizu fumed. Malik glared at her. "Shut up, I won't do it again. Besides what I do with it is my problem. It's mine!" Ishizu glared back at him. "No, it's the pharoah's, all the items are." Malik shrugged. "Whatever."

They headed to by Florence Fortescue's Ice-cream shop. "Hey you guys, I think I'll head back to the inn now, I still have a lot of things to pack in my trunk. Anyone wants to come?" Serenity asked. Malik jumped up, dropping his ice-cream. "I'll come with you Renny."he said nicely and shyly. Ishizu rolled her eyes. 'Malik can be such an idiot.'she thought. ((I can stay right?))Yami Bakura asked. (Alright…) Ryou said not bothering to argue. /You know if he's staying, so am I, right/ Yugi rolled his eyes and laughed. /Alright then./ Ishizu sighed, seeing that she would have to stay and watch the two trouble making yamis. Serenity and Malik headed back to the inn.
