Hey you guys! Thank you all readers (those who reviewed and didn't) and I hope you enjoy this chapter! I got one question in a review on if Joey was using a charm or not and here is the answer.

When they were out in Diagon Alley and stuff or if they had to go anywhere big Joey had the language charm. Now that he is at school and still learning, most of this story he will probably speak in broken English since he's only been learning it for a summer. I hope you can all understand this. If he gets a job in England after Hogwarts he would need to know English and it's always fun to learn another language. So he is (and probably for the rest of this story) not using a language charm anymore. That is all done with.

If anyone else has any questions just put them in your review. I'll answer them if they won't ruin the story for you guys.

As for the little guessing game here are the people who got it right: no one guessed so nobody won. ;.;

Ryou woke sometime before his roommates and sat up slowly. He had experienced the dream again that night and he felt like he hadn't slept. Slowly getting out of bed, Ryou got ready for his first day of school. He filled his bag with books he might need making it heavier than it should have been. After showering and doing all other things he needed to do, he left the dormitory and sat in the common room. People had started to wake up and he didn't want to get in their way. It was the first day back.

Surprisingly, Joey came down the stairwell before any of the other boys from their dormitory did.

"Hey, Joey, want to head down to breakfast with me?" asked Ryou as he stood and greeted his sleepy friend. Joey just nodded and yawned as the two left the common room and walked to the great hall.

When they arrived few students were seated. Most of the teachers were there and as fifteen minutes passed the tables grew larger in population. When it looked as if all the students had arrived the mail came and dropped letters throughout the hall.

Hermione opened a copy of the Daily Prophet and read it while she ate. Ron received a letter from his mother to make sure he had arrived safely and a few other people around them had packages of supplies they had forgotten.

"Anything interesting in the paper, Hermione?" asked Harry as he took his timetable form Professor McGonagall.

"Not really, the usual escape of a death eater from the ministry officials and other random nonsense."

"Sounds like the wizarding world," said Ron as he ate.

"What classes does everyone have today?" asked Hermione after they had all received theirs.

"I start with Potions," said Ron with a groan.

"I think we all do," added Ryou who was looking over his entire schedule.

"Well at least we'll get it over with early, right?" Hermione tried to lessen the annoyance of having Snape first thing in the morning.

The quintet left the great hall earlier than they would normally have to be in the dungeons before the bell rang. They took seats in the back to avoid as much of Snape's wrath as they could. Joey went with Hermione and Harry with Ron which left Ryou to find another seat.

"Sorry, Ryou," said Hermione as Snape walked in. Neville quickly rushed in and sat next to Ryou, the only available seat.

"Hi," he said softly and hesitantly. Ryou gave him a smile of reassurance. He knew Neville was afraid of Snape and Ryou really wanted to help him with potions.

"Today you will be working in pairs," Snape started. "I want you to create the potion on the board. I will not tell you what it is because you will tell me when we finish at the end of this week.

"My other classes will take place in another area since these potions need to simmer over night. Please proceed and do not mess up." After Snape's speech Ryou and Neville read over the directions.

"I'll collect the ingredients," said Ryou as he turned to his partner, "can you get some water and start the fire?" Neville nodded and Ryou smiled as he left to grab the materials he needed.

/You're acting too cheerful. /

/What do you mean, Bakura/

/People will get suspicious and I know you're not happy or healthy for that matter. You haven't slept well for weeks; they're bound to find out eventually. / Bakura sounded worried.

/I know, it's just…I don't want to worry them. / Ryou sighed as he brought everything back to the table and adjusted the fire.

/When are you going to contact the werewolf/

Ryou scowled. /He has a name, Bakura, how would you feel if I just called you 'spirit'/

Bakura growled. /Then I would have to call you 'mortal' or 'human'/

/I'm not going to; I'm just saying that you could learn his name. /

/Fine, I'll learn his name after you talk to him about your dreams. Now do your potion. /

Ryou helped show Neville an easier way to chop while he added some objects to the potion. Through most of the period Neville was nervous, but after Ryou's confidence boosting he didn't feel so bad.

"All right, class, it's time to go. Place your materials in separate piles on your desks in an organized manner. Also, as a warning, know what this potion is by Wednesday."

The students cleaned up and quickly left.

"Where are we headed next," asked Ron.

"Looks like we're headed for Care of Magical Creatures," said Harry looking at Ron. "At least we are," he turned to Ryou, Hermione, and Joey. "You guys?"

"I've got Divination now, see you guys at lunch," Ryou said as he turned down another hallway with a wave.

"We have Arithmancy," said Hermione as she pointed to Joey.

"Well, then I guess we'll see you later," said Harry as the four separated to different areas of the school.

"This is really weird," said Ron as Harry looked at him confused. "Well, we've had Hermione in all our classes except Divination since first year, it's the first time we've been separate."

Harry nodded as they approached Hagrid's hut.

"I wonder what we're looking at today," said Harry as Hagrid exited his hut.

"That's a secret, 'Arry," he said cheerfully. "But I tell yeh, it's something really interesting!"

Harry smiled; everything that happened in Hagrid's class was interesting…and dangerous.

LALALA

Hermione and Joey walked to Arithmancy, half the way in silence.

"So you decided to stay in the class I see," said Hermione after a while.

"Yes, I think it interesting," said Joey with a slight blush at his broken English.

"You're English is getting a whole lot better, Joey," Hermione said to him seeing his discomfort. He shook his head. "Yes it is, trust me; it takes babies forever to learn their first language. You've picked up English in a few months this well, that's really good."

Joey smiled. "Thank you very much."

They arrived at the classroom and took their seats. Today would be an introduction to what they were going to learn through out the year.

LALALA

Ryou sighed as he began his walk to the north tower. 'I love the class, but it's hard when there's no one there,' he thought.

/What's wrong, Ryou/ Bakura asked having taken a nap during Potions and sounding more awake.

/Well…I feel like nobody wants me around right now… / said Ryou as he sighed again.

/Why do you think that/

/In potions, none of my friends sat by me. They left me alone to find another partner. With all the time Harry keeps trying to talk to me, you would think he would at least sit by me. Yet none of them did. /

/I wouldn't worry about it. Next time you have a group project ask to sit by Hermione or Joey or someone, okay/

Ryou nodded. /I'll try…it's just lately…no one seems to care as much. /

/I think it's because the war is over. Everyone is grateful for the end of Voldemort's reign and they all are trying to adjust to life without him. /

/Okay, thanks, Bakura. / Ryou smiled as the link cut off and he began to climb the ladder to Professor Trelawney's classroom.

Shortly after everyone took their seats, the professor appeared from her chair and 'predicted' great futures for them all.

"This year we will be working in further study on crystal balls and reading certain objects like tarot cards and palms. There will be other things that we will learn, but that will only happen if all goes according to schedule," she announced to the class. "Please take out your miniature crystals and show them to me." The Professor walked around the class to make sure everyone had a crystal ball of the right size.

"Good, you're first assignment for the next two weeks is to gaze into the crystal every night. If you see anything in the fog, record it. Look through your books to try and find a meaning. After the two weeks are up we will talk about one vision from everyone's paper."

"What if we don't see anything?" asked Lavender Brown.

"Then, my dear, you do not have the inner eye and will have to leave this class," said the Professor in a monotonous tone. Many people looked around with fear in their eyes.

Ryou knew they were thinking of just making things up, that's what anyone would've down if they couldn't see anything. He just couldn't understand why anyone who didn't have the 'inner eye' would sign up for advanced divination.

LALALA

Ryou packed his things as Professor Trelawney walked over to his lonesome table. "You are troubled, young Ryou," she stated as he looked towards her. She smiled at him. "Everything will turn out all right," she said as she went back to her chair. Ryou knew that Trelawney wasn't a fraud and just acted like one for her other classes. Every time Ryou had taken a bit longer to pack his things up the year before she would talk to him. He could feel the 'inner eye' pulse from her and understood she was a strong seer. Ryou smiled slightly as he left the room. 'I should take extra lessons from her, and then I wouldn't have to feel so alone,' he thought.

He walked to the great hall and took a seat next to Hermione. "How was Arithmancy?" he asked as he picked up a sandwich and put it on his plate.

"We didn't do much," said Hermione. "All we found out was what the course would be like this year." She looked slightly annoyed at her waste of school time. Ryou chuckled.

"Does it sound like an interesting year?" Hermione nodded.

"What did you two do in Care of Magical Creatures?" asked Hermione as Harry looked up from his food.

"We're learning about dragons," he said.

"Did Hagrid actually…bring a dragon to class?" she asked and bit her lip.

"No, but he did say Dumbledore will allow us a field trip to Romania for a few days sometime later," said Ron with excitement in his voice. "Won't that be wicked?"

Harry smiled at Ron's enthusiasm. "I'm sure Hagrid is also looking forward to seeing Norbert again."

"Ryou, you have fun in divination?" asked Joey.

A shocked look crossed Ryou's face for a moment. "Well…yes, I've already got an assignment, but it won't be too hard. I'm surprised the class was so big."

"You mean people actually signed up for that class?" asked Hermione with wide eyes.

"Yes, but I'm sure many of them will leave once they realize how unconvincing their predictions are. If you fail the assignment, you get kicked out of the class. Professor Trelawney says only those who truly possess the 'inner eye' should be in the class."

"Guess that means it'll be a one man class," said Ron with a grin.

"Don't say that, I'm sure there's at least one other person who has the 'inner eye' in this school somewhere," Ryou replied slightly annoyed.

After lunch the quintet walked to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

"I wonder who the teacher is this year," said Ron.

"Who knows, Dumbledore seemed to make it think it was someone we all knew, you know?" Hermione voiced her thoughts.

"Maybe it's your dad or something," Ron said nodding his head towards the Potter boys.

"I highly doubt that," said Harry.

"Why?"

"Because father has been very busy catching all those blasted Death Eaters, that's why," snapped Ryou as he walked ahead of the group.

"I wonder what's wrong with him," said Hermione.

"He just seems to be in a bad mood, I don't think he could sleep last night," said Harry.

"I guess we should just let him be alone for a couple of days," Ron finished.

Joey watched his friend turn swiftly into the classroom. 'Something is bothering you, Ryou, and I'm going to figure it out. With or without your help,' he thought.

LALALA

Everyone sat down and waited impatiently for the new professor to show up. It was five minutes into class before they heard footsteps from the office in the front of the room. The door opened and a familiar man walked out of the room carrying a spell book and his wand.

"Good afternoon, class, I'm sure you all remember me," said the man with a smile. "Remus Lupin, I'll be your Defense against the Dark Arts professor this year." ((Note that I have a strong urge to end it here, but I'm nice.))

The class stared wide eyed as their ex-professor stood in from of them smiling. "Nice to see you all, too," Lupin laughed lightly as some of the students drew themselves out of their stupors and smiled. "Now if you would please, all open to page six in your books."

The class took out their books and opened them.

"We will be starting with dangerous curses and how to counter and/or block them," Lupin started as he waved his wand at the board and notes appeared. He looked out at the class that was struggling to get out some paper and a quill. "We won't be taking notes that much this year, only before each section. Besides these few notes you will be learning the counter spells or the spells themselves." The students smiled. Finally, they had a teacher that would teach them…again.

LALALA

As the bell rang people stood up and began to leave for their next periods. Ryou looked at his timetable and sighed in relief. 'I have a free period, maybe I can talk to Remus,' he thought.

Ryou stood up and walked towards the front of the class carrying his bag over his shoulder. "Uhh…Professor, can I…" he stopped.

Lupin looked at him. "What is it, Ryou?"

"Can I talk to you about something? I mean, if you don't have time its fine, I can wait. Of course there is always the possibility that you don't want to, so I'll just leave if that's the case. I'm sorry for bothering you and…" Lupin cut him off.

"Ryou, its fine, I have a free period right now and would be happy to listen," he said with a smile. Ryou blushed having realize he was rambling.

"All right…"

Ryou followed Lupin into his office and took the seat that he was offered.

"Tea?" asked Lupin as Ryou nodded while staring at the floor. A tea cup full of liquid entered his vision as he looked up to find Remus sitting across from him. "What did you want to talk about?"

"I…" a thought suddenly passed the boys mind and his face lost color.

/Bakura! I haven't told him about you at all/

Bakura chuckled. /I realized this the other day. I think you know him well enough now to tell him your secret, he told you his. / Ryou nodded as Remus looked on confused.

/But…how do I tell him/

/Ryou, you've got to find out ways to do this yourself. What if I'm asleep or something and you have to make a decision. I may not always be here, you know. /

Ryou's eyes widened at the realization. "What if my dream comes true," he whispered as Remus patiently waited.

"I…have to tell you something first," Ryou said looking down.

"Yes?"

Ryou opened the front of his robes and pulled out a large piece of jewelry. It was a circle containing a triangle and had five (I think that's right) dangling spike type ornaments hanging from it. "This is the Millennium Ring," he started. "My father gave it to me when he was still thought to be a muggle. He was an archaeologist and brought me many things that he thought interesting. He told me that when he saw this he felt destined that I should have it," Ryou took a deep breath. "From the moment I put it on, I started to have memory lapses and sometimes would hear a voice speak to me in my head.

"I started to get scared, especially when my friends and I were put into danger. That is when I realized that an 'evil spirit' lived within the ring. This spirit would take control of my body, thus explaining the memory loss and extra voice. He put our souls into a card game and we would have died it he had won, but my friend, Yugi, had the Millennium Puzzle. This object also held a spirit and he fought against my Yami, the spirit inside my ring.

"Throughout the next year I still experienced these problems and in addition I would have random cuts and bruises of abuse. I could never get rid of this spirit, he always returned. It wasn't until after a card tournament that we figured out the significance of these spirits. Mine is the soul of a tomb robber thousands of years ago and my friend's was that of a Pharaoh, both from Egypt.

"The people who helped Voldemort to enter the grounds last year were my friends and the short one was the one with the Pharaoh spirit. The tomb robber and I became friends, though he used to beat me, I forgave him. My Yami threw a piece of the Puzzle into a dark realm called the 'Shadow Realm'. That's were these two I guess…get their power, well the items at least. The Pharaoh is no more.

"As for these items there are seven of them, the Puzzle, Ring, Tauk, Scales, Key, Eye, and Rod. My friend Marik has the rod, and his sister the Tauk. The Rod can control people and the Tauk can tell the future. A man named Shadi has the Scales and Key. They can open a person's heart and weigh it. The eye is…well I don't know anymore, but I think it's in my trunk. It can read minds. The Puzzle kind of just hold the power of the Pharaoh I think, I'm not too sure. And my ring can find things."

Ryou looked over at Remus for any sign of confusion.

"Tell me this…" he began. "Does this spirit still live within the item?" Ryou slowly nodded as he tensed up.

/Wow, he really wants to know everything, doesn't he? I mean, you go and explain a whole ton of stuff to this guy and he asks if I'm here. / Bakura said through their link.

/Shush, Bakura, this is hard enough. /

"So, what's he like? Is he still evil?"

"No…" Ryou cringed as his Yami screamed from his soul room. "Oh, no, you aren't, Bakura," he accidentally yelled aloud. Ryou quickly covered his mouth and blushed.

Remus smiled. "I take it he likes to be feared," Ryou nodded. "This is you're little secret, right?" Once again he got a nod from the boy. "Something also tells me this isn't what you meant to tell me."

"Actually…That was just to explain a character in a dream I've had." Remus leaned forward slightly in interest.

"A dream, you say?"

"Yes," Ryou began. "Keep in mind that throughout half of last year, my Yami and I were separated and it gets lonely if a voice just suddenly disappears from your head."

Remus nodded.

"In my dream I am chasing a man in a silver cloak through the forbidden forest. I chase him through the trees until we reach a clearing. Here he tries to erase my memories of him, but my Yami, Bakura as I call him, said he would take control since I had forgotten my wand. The man says that Bakura won't be able to help me. He swings his wand and declares an incantation that freezes Bakura there. I ask him why he won't move, but h just says he can't. He tells me that it's pulling him in and as I scream out his name I feel like a half of my soul is being ripped out of me," Ryou looked at Remus. "Then I wake up."

Remus and Ryou sat in silence for a few seconds as the professor let it sink in. "How long have you been having these dreams?" he asked.

"I think since the end of summer."

"How frequently have you had them?"

"Almost every other night," said Ryou as he bit his lip.

"You have the 'inner eye'…" Remus started. "Ryou, I don't think this is just a dream," he looked the boy in the eye. "I would keep your guard up," he smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your dream."

Ryou sighed in relief as he stood. "Thank you for listening Pro-…"

"Please, Ryou, call me Remus. We are friends, right?" Ryou smiled at nodded.

"Thanks," he said as he was led to the door and left the classroom. Glancing down at his watch he realized it was time for dinner. He had spent his whole free period talking to Remus, but he really felt like a great load had been lifted off his shoulders.

/See, it wasn't that bad now was it/

/Next time don't yell when I say you're not evil. That really hurts, you know. / Bakura grinned inside his soul room.

/Why else would I do it/

/You're rotten to the core. /

/You got that right, Ryou! But remember, I'm part of your core, too. / Ryou could just imagine his Yami sticking his tongue out just then and laughed to himself.

/You're such a dork. /

/Am not/

Ryou blocked out his Yami's rants as he walked in just in time for the food to show up on the tables. 'Today had been a great first day back,' he thought as he sat down to enjoy the feast.

This was probably the longest chapter I have written (Wow, about 4000 words!). Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but it feels like it! So what did you think? Please tell me in a review no matter what it is.

Note that I probably did really badly on the descriptions of items and stuff, but I really don't pay too much attention to them so it's bound to be horrible. I tried and I doubt even Ryou knows every single detail about them. Trust me; I have NOT seen the whole show, so…yeah.

Once again, hope you enjoyed and give me any ideas on what you may want to see happen in the story, maybe I'll use it and give you a chapter dedication!
