AN: This is Chapter 3 in the original and ten pages longer somehow so I am going to split the chapter. So here is half of chapter 3. There isn't a great place to split the chapter so bear with me on this one.
Thank you again to those reading my story. I hope you all enjoy this chapter.

Things you need to know:
Shadi's powers Key/ Ankh: The Key can open the doors of a person's soul, allowing them access to a person's thoughts or "rooms" in their mind. the "room" can even be "redecorated," allowing the user to alter a person's personality. This can be undone once the person touches the Key. It can also make the bearer (and others) invisible (shadow walking) Possibly allows teleportation (Shadow portal) Allows bearer to sense any disruption of the Millennium Items' mystical energies that would be caused by an Item being taken from its rightful owner or traumatic situation of bearer. As well it can insert visions into another person's mind or may allow the bearer to communicate telepathically with others.
I noticed something in the cartoon Egyptian arc. They are very connected to one another.
Ryou and Bakura will switch back and forth constantly. If I say Bakura I mean thief king Bakura and will once in a while maybe use the name Akefia. When it's Ryou I will use Ryou.
Chapter Six
Captivity
Somewhere in Egypt (Friday Morning)
Shadi awoke with a start. He sensed a disturbance with his charges and their items. He concentrated on his magicks to track the Pharaoh and his young priests but got nothing. He couldn't sense them in Japan, America, or Egypt. Shadi quickly shadow-ported to Arthur Hawkin's mansion, hoping that they were there and safe.
"Forgive the intrusion Professor Hawkins but have my charges arrived yet? Shadi asked Arthur who was in his study reading a journal.
"No they have not yet arrived. Is something the matter?" Arthur asked concerned.
"I felt a disturbance in their items. I can't sense them at all. It's as if someone is blocking them from me. I will check in with Isis then." Shadi said with concern as he ported out as quickly as he came.
Shadi returned to Egypt and headed for the palace. He checked all over the palace and only found staff and Medjai around. "That is odd. Isis and Rishid should be here packing for America." He then focused on the shadows and sensed where Isis was. He ported to Cairo and found Isis in her office at the museum.
"Isis, where are the Pharaoh and the others? Something happened and I cannot sense them."
"Not to worry Shadi. They had a change of plans and decided to go to England for the rest of the year." Isis told the priest nonchalantly not the least bit concerned.
"What!? Why would they do that? Are there Medjai with them? Isis why would you allow them to go to England? What is there that they could benefit from?" Shadi asked concerned and suspicious.
"Whatever is the matter with England? The Medjai are still here. But I can assure you they will be fine. Now if that is all I must be getting back to work." Isis stated firmly looking back down at her work and ignoring Shadi.
"As you wish Priestess." Shadi responded realizing he was getting nowhere. Isis was acting strangely but he would have to deal with that later. He needed to find the Pharaoh and the other mages. He knew something wasn't right.
Shadi left Isis and went to find Kaphiri. "She told me the same thing and that Mana and Kisara will be headed home soon. I do not think the Pharaoh or High Priest Seto would ever willingly leave the girls for an extended amount of time." Kaphiri said worried for his charges.
"I am worried Kaphiri, I know I felt a disturbance and now the Pharaoh and his young priests are somewhere in England," Shadi said.
"Should I prepare the Medjai for battle?" Kaphiri asked with determination in his eyes.
"Not yet my friend, I shall try to locate them first and discern what the situation is. We should not create an international incident until we know what is going on," Shadi explained to the chieftain. "I shall return soon," Shadi said as he ported out of the palace.
Hogwarts (Friday Morning)
The teens woke early the next morning and got ready for the day. They met down in their common room. They sat there quietly not sure what to say or do. Seto began silently working on his laptop.
"We need to find a way out of this place." Ryou finally said to break the uncomfortable silence.
"If only we had the strength to summon a monster, it could find Isis or Shadi." Atem said miserably not feeling all that great from the limits put on his magicks and control over the shadows.
"We need to test these bracelets and see if they really do keep us here," Bakura said coming out of the ring in his solid form.
"Agreed but we are at a severe disadvantage with the limits put on our magic," Marik said rising angrily and began pacing.
"I will try once they let us out of the dorm and see what happens," Bakura decided. The discussion was soon interrupted as the portrait door swung open. Bakura quickly disappeared back into the ring.
Severus Snape and Remus Lupin opened the portrait door and greeted the mages. The mages just glared and looked ready to attack.
"Why don't you boys come sit down and have some breakfast?" Lupin asked calmly as he released the glamour spell he had on himself so as to not be recognized by Umbridge.
The teens slowly walked towards round table at the far end of the common room and sat down warily. Dobby suddenly popped in bringing them their food and the mages quickly jumped out of their seats into defensive stances surprised by the sudden appearance of the strange elf like creature.
"What in the name of Anubis is that?" Marik yelled.
"Calm down boys this is a house elf. His name is Dobby. He and others of his kind work here in the school." Lupin said trying to ease the tension.
The mages looked at the creature one more time and decided it was no threat and sat back down to eat. Breakfast was a quiet affair seeing as the teens refused to look at their captors let alone say anything. Lupin and Snape did not know what to say to them. Severus was not happy and already getting a headache. He was stuck with five scared and ticked off mages and Lupin who was definitely not his first choice in company. And so the silence continued.
[Do they expect us to be civil!? asked Bakura]
[Are they crazy? Marik asked]
[Well they did kidnap us so crazy is a definite possibility. said Yugi]
"Come and we can begin the first year lessons in the core subjects. Get your books and wands." Severus said icily as he stood up since the boys looked to be finished with their food and were starting to get up from the table.
The mages looked up at their captor who presumed he could order them around and glared defiantly.
"Do not assume we will cooperate with you or anyone else here." Atem said imperiously like the king he truly was while standing up and facing their dark captor.
Severus, unused to such blatant disobedience and dis-respect glared at the one who dared defy him. Anyone with any common sense generally backed down but this boy stood his ground.
"You will do as you are told," Severus approached the teen threateningly and immediately realized his mistake.
The others had already moved to defend the boy. He could feel the magick pulse around him even with the magical restraints on the teens and the white haired teen held a dagger suddenly and had a manic grin. Where the hell did he get a dagger from?
"You touch him and I will make sure not even your magic can save you." Bakura said as he stepped towards Snape with the wicked looking dagger and appearing to be ready to attack at any moment.
Severus backed off a bit not wanting to try and fight all five teens. Though he noticed Lupin had come to his side wand drawn ready to help. Severus was not sure how to get the teens to cooperate.
He sighed. "Look, it appears that you are going to be here a while. You may as well take advantage of it and learn what you can. Or is it your wish to sit here day after day stuck in a dorm room and most likely go stir crazy or end up in the dungeons due to your lack of cooperation?"
The mages stood there weighing their options.
[I suppose we don't have much of a choice Yugi told the others.]
[No I guess not and these dorms are better than dungeons. Atem said with resign in his mental tone.]
[I still would like to slit his throat. Bakura stated.]
[I am sure you would but that would probably not go over well. Ryou said hoping Bakura would see reason.]
[Let's just do what they want for now. Seto said to the others irritated at the very idea of actually listening to their captors.]
"Fine" Atem stated and the mages backed down and left to get their wands and the first year books that were provided for them.
Severus and Remus went over to the couch area relieved. Getting them to cooperate could prove to be very difficult.
Remus noticed the muggle machinery sitting on the couch. When the teens returned he told them electronics don't work in Hogwarts due to too much magic in the air. Seto snorted at that comment.
"What is so amusing Mr. Kaiba?" Snape asked silkily not liking this teens attitude one bit.
"You idiotic wizards here in England live in the dark ages. Modern technology works just fine in the Egyptian wizarding world. And I am considered a technical prodigy. I will get my laptop working." he stated in a mocking tone as he smirked confidently.
Severus rolled his eyes at the arrogance. "So you all knew of modern magic before you came here?" he had asked them ignoring the obnoxious teen.
"Of course we know about your neo-magics." Ryou affirmed.
"Well then do you know any modern magic?" Lupin asked looking at them curiously.
"No we have not nor do we want to learn it from you," Marik answered coldly.
"You have little choice in that matter and are stuck with Lupin and I." Severus replied frustrated at the entire situation.
[He does not seem to be pleased with this situation or our captivity. noticed Atem]
[He could be made an ally. suggested Marik]
[Maybe. Seto said]
[Can you read his mind Marik? asked Bakura]
[I can try, he responded as he lightly touched the eye at the base of his neck. Hmm…oops. He has powerful shields. He may have felt that, said a slightly panicked Marik]
Severus abruptly started glaring at the teens. "If you wish to know something try asking before trying to break into my mind." snapped Snape angrily surprised at this new revelation.
The teens just glared back darkly with shadows starting to curl around them. Lupin stood up from the table ready to attack should they attack Severus. Severus took and involuntary step back. They held so much power not even the bracelets could contain it all. This was going to be one hell of the rest of the year.
When the mages tired from the bracelets enchants and calmed a little Severus just jumped into their first lesson in charms to try and keep the peace. Remus came and sat by the teens making sure he could cover Severus if need be.
They both were surprised at how well the mages all did. Severus moved onto transfiguration then onto DADA. At lunch time Severus called for Dobby to bring lunch to the dorm room table. He and Remus ate with them again instead of going to the great hall. Severus thought about what great students these five teens would have made if not for the fact that they were prisoners of this castle. This tore at him. No matter how cold he seemed to others. Every fiber in his being screamed that this was wrong. After lunch they sat the mages down to give them some information.
"For dinner you will be joining everyone in the Great Hall to be introduced to the remaining students and staff that are still here. Then you will have a re-introduction in January when the rest of the students have returned from break. You will not be separated into one of our four houses but you will be sitting with the Gryffindor students." He scowled as he mentioned Potter's house.
"Why do you scowl at that particular house?" Atem asked as his curiosity peaked.
Severus sighed and explained the rivalry and some info on the Potter brat. "As much as I care about my house do not under any circumstances trust them. Some of my Slytherins are unfortunately future Death Eaters." explained Severus.
"What are Death Eaters?" Marik snorted trying not to laugh at the ridiculous name.
"They are loyal followers of Lord Voldemort." stated Remus staring at the teen who would dare mock the Death Eaters.
"Moldywart? What!" scoffed Bakura who had briefly taken over to see what was going on.
"No its Voldemort, he is the dark lord that was mentioned yesterday." Severus said cringing at saying the Dark Lord's name and the mage who dared say his name disrespectfully.
"Wow and I thought the rare hunters were a dumb name." Bakura said now laughing hysterically.
Seto was now smirking too while Atem's eyes glinted in amusement. Yugi was trying to be nice and not laugh but….he failed. Poor Marik just glared at his friends.
Severus dared to ask out of curiosity. "Who are the rare hunters?"
Everyone was silent for a moment not sure how to answer without giving away any secrets.
"Sorry Snape we cannot divulge too much but they were a group of thugs who followed a man bent on world domination and ultimate power." Atem explained.
Severus arched his eyebrow at the disrespect and sighed again. (Severus hated being addressed like that but what could he do demand respect no definitely not from them he thought.)
"Kinda like this voldeywort guy you guys have." snickered Bakura. Even Severus had to smirk a bit at their antics. Remus laughed outright at the mages antics.
"Ok so we should not trust your house. What about the others?" Yugi asked getting back on topic.
"As far as I know the children from the other houses should be safe enough to interact with. There are teenagers closer to your age that you may wish to meet." Severus explained.
"So how are you going to teach, wage war, watch your house, and babysit us all at the same time?" asked Seto.
"Lupin and I will be tutoring you five seeing as we are some of the few who know the truth about you. As for my other duties I have asked another professor to take over my Slytherins. Aside from teaching you five will be my priority now." Severus stated simply wondering how his Slytherins were going to handle getting a new head of house.
"So basically you're both going to guard us constantly." snapped Atem annoyed that they would have very little time to themselves to plan an escape.
Severus responded carefully. "I am here to teach you. You will be allowed to make friends and have some privacy. Lupin is also here to teach you. We will not treat you as captives."
"Just because we follow the Headmaster do not assume we agree with everything he does," Remus added.
"How do we even know this Voldemort is really after us?" asked a skeptical Seto.
"I realize you have no reason to trust us but I can assure you that he is indeed after you five." Severus replied.
Atem stared at Snape as he said this and realization hit him. "You're the spy!" Atem proclaimed wide eyed.
"What the…How…"Severus spluttered indignantly which was unheard of since he was never caught off guard.
"I could see it in your eyes. Those who do not already know your secret will not learn of it from us. Our minds are fairly well protected and your secret is safe." Atem said while wondering if they could sway this man to their side and make him an ally.
"We do not blame you for our captivity you were doing your job." Yugi said looking at Severus with those wide innocent eyes of his.
"We do however blame Dumbledore and when we are free he will be judged." Atem said with surety and a steely gaze in his eyes.
Severus and Remus did not doubt his words. These teens would be the end of Albus and there was nothing he could do. Not that he would try to stop them. When this war was all over he would either be dead or free from both his masters.
"Alright enough talk for now. Let me teach you my specialty the art of potion making." Snape declared.
"I will see you all in the Great Hall later for dinner," Remus said as he excused himself and left for a while.
The teens followed Snape out of their dorm room and began to head downwards towards the dungeons!? Seto realizing this was alarmed and stopped walking refusing to move. Severus turned around with a questioning look.
"Where are you taking us?" demanded Seto.
"To my potions lab." Severus said while turning around to face the teens, confused at their hesitation.
"Your lab is in the dungeons!" snarled Bakura.
"What trickery is this Snape?" sneered Atem.
"I can assure you I am playing no tricks! My classroom is in the dungeons." Snape said quickly again not wanting to take on five ticked off mages no matter how much their power had been inhibited.
"You must see why we might doubt you Snape," the accusing eyes of the innocent Yugi said.
"I swear I have no ill intentions. I will briefly drop my shield whichever of you reads minds may read my surface thoughts." Snape said cringing at the idea of allowing this but wanting the mages to cooperate peacefully.
Marik did so and saw it to be true. [He speaks the truth]
The teens gave the equivalent of a mental nod and continued forward. Snape closed his mind and let out a sigh of relief. Gaining any trust from the mages would take some time. Atem, Yugi, and Seto actually had fun working with the potions. While Marik and Bakura just wanted to see how many different ways they could blow up a cauldron. Severus was ready to pull his hair out in frustration. He swiftly walked up to Marik and Ryou (or so he thought) and snidely asked if they planned on actually trying the potion.
"Give it a rest tomb...ah Ryou and Marik!" Atem snapped while correcting himself on what he called Bakura.
"You are no fun Phar…er Atem they corrected.
Interesting Snape thought. They slipped with what sounded like nicknames but why hide those? The mages stayed in the potions lab while Snape taught them the basics of Herbology and how it went with potion making.
Severus took them back to the dorm for History of Magic. The teens had had enough learning for the day and completely zoned out on him. Flustered he walked to where they were sitting.
Marik jumped, "Ra Damn it! Don't sneak up on me like that."
Severus scowled at the language but said nothing. The others snapped out of their trance like state. This subject was not his forte and it was not going to go well with these five. Even Kaiba nodded off and he was definitely the most studious of all of them.
