Things you need to know:
There are some major differences in the movie and the book for OOTP. You need to have read and seen the movie I think to understand which parts are coming from where. Just know that I am not taking everything from one source. It's more like a merging of the two and tweaking it to my needs.
Chapter Seven
(Sorta more like 6.5)
Severus gave up on History of Magic and decided they could head down to dinner seeing as most of the students should have left by now. "It is time for dinner and if you want to fit in you may want to change into your uniforms and robes."
"Robes maybe…but the uniforms not a chance Snape," said Marik looking appalled at the idea of it. The others all nodded in agreement.
"Are these supposed to be some sort of new fashion statement?" a disgusted Seto asked. The boys snickered to this.
Severus was getting another headache and so decided to wait outside the portrait for them. He was going to need a lot of potions to deal with these mages on a daily basis.
"We are never going to be alone are we?" asked Ryou worried on how they could possibly escape if they were being constantly watched.
"It feels that way." Atem answered while putting his robe on.
"At least Snape is somewhat tolerable." Marik stated.
"True" Seto agreed.
"I just want to go home." Yugi said sullenly.
"We all do. Let's go before he comes back for us." Atem suggested.
They put their robes on leaving them open so their street clothes were still showing. Severus took them to the Great Hall and showed them where to sit. He then walked up to the head table and took his seat. The teens talked amongst themselves until the few remaining students started coming in.
"Why must people always stare so rudely?" Ryou complained as he glared at anyone who dared look at him too long. The other mages also glared menacingly at anyone who gawked at them.
The golden trio entered the Great Hall, looked at the strangers at their table and sat down by them along with the twins and Ginny. The Weasley children along with Harry and Hermione were staying at Hogwarts for most of the holidays. Dumbledore felt it was safer than at the Weasley residence. None were overly thrilled but they at least got to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day together at Grimmauld Place. Harry was excited about that since he had not heard from Sirius since the last fire-call he had gotten when Umbridge interrupted them. She seemed to be watching all mail and fire-calls. They were lucky she had not discovered the DA yet.
Dumbledore stood and introduced the mages as foreign exchange students from Egypt and Japan. The teens scoffed loudly at the Headmaster's blatant lie. The twins noticed this. Once dinner began the golden trio introduced themselves along with the twins and Ginny. The teens said polite hellos and continued to pick at their food.
Hermione attempted to start up a conversation with the new students. "Do you all know each other?" Hermione asked curious about the strange looking teens.
"Yes" Yugi answered.
So where is each of you from?" Ron asked with his mouth full.
"We all have Egyptian origins but Yugi, Ryou, and I lived in Japan most of our lives. Seto told them with a disgusted look on his face from seeing the young red head eat.
Ron got really excited and said "My brother Bill is a curse breaker in Egypt!" He then received the deadliest glares around and shrunk back a little.
"That bastard is your brother!" Marik snapped angrily.
Ron, Ginny, Fred, and George, were all taken aback by the obvious hostility coming from all five boys towards their elder brother.
Fred: What do you have…
George: against our brother?
"He is making moves on my sister! He better stay away from her. If he touches her I will slit his throat!" Marik ranted aggressively really not caring that all the red heads at the table were Bill's siblings.
"He is also the reason we are stuck here." said a venomous Atem not liking that Isis was within Bill's reach and was raging internally as much as Marik was raging externally. He had become quite attached to his family and didn't want any harm coming to them.
[We need to somehow warn Isis and Rishid to get out of there. Marik said through their link sensing the Pharaoh's anger and frustration as well.]
They all seemed to mentally agree with that statement.
"Why don't you want to be here?" Harry asked curiously not understanding how someone would not want to be here at Hogwarts.
"It is hard to explain." Yugi sighed wondering how much of the truth they were able to tell with the spells restriction on the bracelets.
"So you are not transfer students." Fred pushed glad they were getting off the topic of his brother. Though, he was suspicious now that maybe Bill was in the Headmaster's pocket as well.
"Yes we are," Seto said with surprise entering those steely blue eyes of his since that was not what he was going to say.
[What the…Seto sent to the others]
[It must be the charm on the bracers. Ryou said wondering what the limits were on the truth charm.]
"We have never practiced your type of magic until now. Snape and Lupin are tutoring us in first through fourth year material." commented a still annoyed Marik.
"Nor do we want to learn your magic." snarled Bakura angrily as he thought about their crappy situation.
Hermione was going to correct them about being respectful but Ryou's venom had caught her off guard.
"Wait did you say Lupin?" Harry asked with hope shining in those emerald eyes of his.
"Yes he is helping us catch up. In fact he is sitting up at the teachers table," Yugi replied pointing towards said table.
Harry looked up and didn't see him but then a stranger looked up and met his eyes and gave him a warm smile. Harry figured it was a glamour spell which made sense since any of the other students could easily report to Umbridge that Remus was there. He gave his father's friend a small wave and smile.
"With Professor Umbridge here he is going to have to be careful and lay low." Hermione said worriedly.
"Why who is this Umbridge person?" Ryou asked much more calm than earlier.
"Professor Umbridge is a ministry official and has certain biases against umm…" Hermione paused not sure what to say not wanting to give away Professor Lupin's secret.
"He is a cousin of Anubis. Some people are less tolerant of that then others." Atem said when she paused.
The Gryffindors looked at Atem questioningly.
"He means werewolf," Marik said "What the Phar…er Atem called him was an Egyptian way of saying it."
Hermione asked how they knew this and they said vaguely they could sense them and left it at that. Hermione had also noticed the slip up and wondered what that Marik boy was originally going to say.
"Is the ministry against your school?" Seto asked curiously wondering what their government was like in this enclave.
"No well sort of… Harry replied and then began again, well you see this dark lord returned at the end of last year and…"
"Oh, that mumblewort or something bad guy." Marik interrupted.
"Um… you know about him?" Harry asked questioningly.
"Well we know what Snape has told us, which isn't much." answered Seto.
"Oh ah ok so um his name is Voldemort (Ron and Ginny flinched) Harry continued, anyways I was the only witness and the ministry does not believe me. In fact the only ones who do are the Headmaster and the Order…(ouch he jumped as Hermione kicked him in the shin) Er…and some others that believe in Dumbledore."
"No wonder no one believes you if it's that old fool who backs you." Atem stated with shock in his voice.
"The headmaster is not an old fool! He is a wise and good man who fights for the Light." Hermione cried with righteous indignation at the audacity of Atem.
"We beg to differ." Seto said coldly.
"His soul is full of deceit. He manipulates those around him using that grandfatherly facade to make people follow him blindly, while he uses them as pawns for his own ulterior motives." Atem said wisely.
This shocked the Gryffindors never had they heard anyone speak like this about Dumbledore.
Harry understood what they said. He knew that he himself was just a pawn in Dumbledore's plans. There was not much he could do about it though. It was too late for him to turn back. In his eyes the leaders of both light and dark were equally as bad as one another. They used others for their needs and in the lights case sacrificed some in the name of "The Greater Good".
"How did you five end up in Gryffindor if you don't want to learn magic and hate the Headmaster?" Ginny asked curiously.
"We were not placed in houses, I doubt we would have made it into the same houses had we been sorted. We are friends but we all have very different personalities." Ryou explained.
"We were told to sit with the Gryffindor students and that we will be attending classes with them." Yugi added.
The twins decided to lighten the mood with some of their joke products. Marik and Bakura were drawn to the twins' products and ideas, like moths are drawn to a flame. Seto and Atem just rolled their eyes. Yugi was just amused.
[Well if we are stuck here let's give them Hell for what they are doing to us. I am sure with the twins mischievous side they may be willing to help us said Yugi all of a sudden in everyone's mind.]
The others all just stared at Yugi in shock for a moment. They couldn't believe it the most innocent of them all wanted vengeance! Then they all mentally cheered. Yugi just blushed at their reaction.
Severus noticed the mages spacing out again and he was starting to wonder about it. Did they share some sort of mind link he asked himself. As long as Albus did not find out it didn't really matter. He distracted the Headmaster by inquiring about where Umbridge was. He just mumbled something about ministry idiots and reporting to Fudge.
As the feast ended Severus came to get the "transfer students". They followed the Gryffindor students most of the way back. Their dorm ended up really close to them. Snape ushered the students into their dorm and bid them goodnight and sealed the portrait. Harry thought that was odd as he passed by their dorm to get to Gryffindor Tower. Harry quickly ducked in his dorm before Snape could notice he was lingering in the halls. Hermione and Ron were waiting for him in the common room.
"Well those were certainly interesting new students." Hermione commented.
"They don't want to learn magic, hate Dumbledore and my brother, it's just madness." Ron said barely believing it at all and a tinge of anger in his voice. "They must be working for you-know-who," finished Ron heatedly.
"Oh Ron! We do not know that for sure. Though, I wonder who they are and why they are here. I mean it is odd that five teens our age who have no training in magic at all are brought here right when we are on the brink of war with you-know-who." pondered Hermione.
"They must be spies for you-know-who. They were not even placed into houses. We don't know if they would have ended up with those slimy snakes. I mean why would Snape escort them to their dorm room?" Ron argued again.
"I doubt that. They can barely pronounce his name and are certainly not taking him very seriously. Anyone who follows Voldemort is generally a bit more respectful or at least consider him as someone they should fear" Harry said.
"They still may be dangerous. We should be cautious at least and maybe try and figure out who they are and why they are here," warned Hermione.
"Here we go again! I sense us spending large amounts of free time in the library suddenly," whined Ron.
"There is nothing wrong with research Ronald," Hermione said indignantly.
This began another fight between the two and Harry just groaned softly while sitting down in a chair waiting for them to either drop it or one of them storm off. Harry finally interrupted mentioning a game of chess to Ron who readily agreed. They played their game while Hermione grabbed a book to read for fun. A few hours passed and many losses later, on Harry's part, they all headed to bed.
Mages Dorm
Once the mages got into their dorm they promptly went and sat down in the common room. Seto got his laptop and tore it apart trying to figure out how to get it working. If he could get his computer to work then they could hopefully get a hold of everyone to get some help. Marik and Ryou got their decks out and played a normal game. Yugi and Atem sat reading some books they were given to try and figure out some of this modern magic. Bakura wanted to test the bracelets limits but they were once again locked in and so he was unable to do so. He settled for coming out in his solid form and watching Ryou play against Marik.
Seto was getting frustrated he had no idea how to get his modern machinery working in the wizarding world. He had taken it for granted since it always worked around the magicks they used and at the enclave in Egypt for that matter. Egypt was probably one of the most magically saturated countries in the world. What was different? He sighed loudly and decided to read the charms book they were given hoping to find some clue as to how to activate electronics. Once boredom set in they all went upstairs for some much needed rest.
Gryffindor 5th Year Rooms (same night) ….
(Sort of a summary of pgs. 462- 475 HPOOTP with a few almost direct quotes/also integrated movie aspects as well)
Harry was dreaming. He was dreaming about a red dragon like monster coming out of the shadows. There were some shadowy figures calling upon more strange monsters. They were attacking Death Eaters. Then his dream changed He was dreaming of a smooth powerful creature that slithered across the floor along a dark corridor. He found a red headed man that looked tasty. The man awoke and he bit the man. There was yelling and all of a sudden Harry woke up drenched in sweat. Harry was feeling panicked.
After a few moments he yelled to Ron. He told Ron that his dad had been attacked and needed help. Ron went for help. (Neville was already home for Christmas break in my own little world) McGonagall ran to the dormitory with Ron in tow to check on Potter. Harry explained what he saw and she and Ron took him to see the headmaster.
"Professor Dumbledore, Potter has had a nightmare," McGonagall said and was about to continue.
"It wasn't a nightmare," Harry interrupted quickly.
"Very well you explain then." McGonagall conceded frowning at Potter.
"Headmaster, Mr. Weasley he was attacked. There was this big snake and it attacked him. Please sir you have to help him. I swear it was real." Harry told the headmaster desperately hoping the headmaster would believe him.
"Where were you standing during the attack Harry?"
"What? I don't understand." Harry stuttered realizing this was something else the Headmaster must know about him. He knew he was the snake in the dream or vision or whatever it was. He knew what was going on with him and yet told him nothing seethed Harry.
"Did you see the attack from beside Mr. Weasly or were you looking down at the scene?" pushed the Headmaster.
"Neither sir…please what is happening to me?" Harry said dodging the question not really wanting to discuss this anymore with the headmaster.
Dumbledore ignored Potter and turned from him still trying to avoid looking at the boy. "Everard? Go to the ministry and make sure Mr. Weasley is found by the right people."
Minerva please bring the rest of the Weasley children up here. Dumbledore ordered while he grabbed a teapot as created a port-key out of it. He then went to the portrait of Phineas and had him tell Sirius to be expecting guests. Dumbledore continued to ignore Ron and Harry and distracted himself while they waited. Soon the other Weasley children arrived in the office just as Everard returned and gave his report.
"Albus, they found him just in time and have taken him to St. Mungo's Hospital. And the object is still safe from the Dark Lord." Everard said.
The Weasleys immediately wanted to go but could not since they were not supposed to know yet. Dumbledore silenced their protests and sent them to Grimmauld Place to wait. Harry asked to go with but Dumbledore said no as Harry glared angrily and Severus entered the office.
"You wished to see me, Headmaster?"
"Yes. We cannot wait any longer. Take Potter and get started on the lessons we had discussed. It is imperative he learn this now do not wait till the morning." Dumbledore ordered as he dismissed the two. Severus grabbed Harry and dragged him to his office. And so began Occlumency lessons.
