Things you need to know:

I used two Yu-Gi-Oh cards in this chapter. Paralyzing chain and de-spell.

Dumbledore has not told Snape or Lupin all the details about the mages including the part about three of them being of a royal bloodline. The less Severus knows the less he has to tell Voldemort. So he gets to figure it out on his own not that it's that hard after this chapter.

I cannot write duels. I do not have a firm grasp on all the rules and all their decks. Sorry wish I could. Even a partial duel between Yugi and Marik would have been interesting.

Chapter 9

December 29th
A few days later the shadow mages woke up, showered and got dressed. They sat in their squashy chairs and waited to be let out from Snape. Seto immediately checked his email to see if Mokuba had responded yet. It had been a few days and Seto was getting worried. He let out a sigh of relief as he logged into his email and saw the letter in his inbox. This got the attention of the others and he read the letter out loud.

Big Brother,
Are you and the others doing alright? I thought something was wrong. You were acting really strangely. I have locked down Kaiba Corp. and finally made it to the Professor's manor. I will take care of the company from the office here. I have alerted the guardian and the tomb keeper. The tomb keeper was acting odd though. She seemed to think you went to England willingly. We had her and the others brought here. A Shaman healed her and Rishid. I think they are back to normal now. Mana and Kisara said to stay safe. Shadi is out there looking for you. I know he will find you guys. Take care and be careful.
Love,
Mokuba

Seto put his laptop away just as Remus came into the room. He sat down with them for breakfast.

"Where is Snape?" asked Atem.

"He is at a meeting and has asked you to meet him in his potions lab for your first lesson of the day," Remus responded.

The mages grabbed their potions and herbology books and headed for the classroom. They waited and then got bored.

"Let's duel while we wait this is boring." whined Marik.

"Alright I will duel you." said Yugi. So they began.

Harry had woken up early, unable to sleep anymore since he had so much on his mind with the events of the last few days fresh in his mind. He sat alone in the common room and soon grew bored of that. He could have waited for Hermione to wake up but decided to walk around for a bit instead. He grabbed his invisibility cloak wandered out of the portrait and just walked around the castle. He soon found himself by the potions classroom and heard loud noises coming from the room. He quickly pulled his cloak on and quietly made his way to the door. He almost got run over by Snape who walked in the room quickly and yelled at the mages.

"What the bloody hell are you doing?!," Snape yelled in slight panic as two huge monsters were about to attack each other. The shadow mages just looked at him and laughed.

"They are dueling. What does it look like Snape?" Atem said in a clearly amused tone to his reaction.

"It's a game Snape no need to panic." Seto drawled.

Yugi showed him that they were just holograms and Severus calmed a bit. "Will you please put your muggle contraptions away for now, it's time to prepare today's potion? Harry wondered what game they possibly could have been playing that was so loud.

All of a sudden the twins walked right into him. "Fred, George what are you doing back already?" Harry whispered.

"We made Dumbledore angry at Grimmauld Place so he sent us back here this morning with Snape after we saw our dad." replied a moody Fred.

"What are you doing on the ground?" George asked.

"I'm snooping." Harry said simply. The twins grinned evilly and joined in. What better way to get their minds off of things.

The teens chatted about their duel and who would have won as Severus put the potion on the board. Before they began Severus sat down with the mages and told them how the term would go. They would only have one elective which was Care of Magical Creatures. Once break ended they would have tutoring every night alternating between Lupin and himself from 7-9pm. On Saturdays they would work after breakfast till lunch then after lunch have the rest of the day free along with Sundays. The mages groaned they were never going to have much free time to try and escape.

Suddenly Snape gasped and pulled out his wand as someone shimmered into the room.

(Something is happening whispered one of the twins.)

The shadow mages promptly looked up and saw Shadi. They all but ran to him. Shadi took a look at the room briefly as his charges approached him. He ignored the greasy haired man dressed in black seeing as he was not really a threat. Shadi bowed to Atem.

"My Pharaoh. I have been searching for you and your young priests since you disappeared. Why have you not escaped this place?" Shadi questioned wondering what could be keeping them there.

"We can't. The man who took us put these bracelets on us that prevent us from leaving." growled Seto as he flashed his wrist for the ancient priest to see.

"They keep us here and have made it so we cannot gain help from the innocents that dwell here." Bakura added.

"I see….I sense something else from them," Shadi said as he touched the bracelet Atem was wearing frowning at what he found. "It weakens your magic and is blocking you from me. No wonder I could not find you right away."

"Can you get them off?" Atem questioned his ancient priest hoping he had a solution.

"Hmmm….let us try the De-Spell card and see if that works." Shadi said as he examined the bracelet and its magical properties more carefully.

Severus deciding he should probably attempt to stop the man from freeing the mages was about to cast a spell but the ancient priest looked up and saw his movement.

He immediately pulled a strange card and cast "Paralyzing Chain" on him. Severus could not escape the chains that were now holding him in place.

Shadi then pulled out his de-spell card and pushed his shadow magick through it. "De-Spell Enchanted Bracelet," Shadi chanted assuming that since he was at full power it should work. Shadi frowned when the spell card did not work.

"What's wrong Shadi?" Atem asked looking at his priest in confusion.

Shadi re-examined the bracelet. "These spells… They must be older than neo-magic. The De-spell card should have worked if they were modern spells. I am sorry my Pharaoh I have failed the de-spell card did not work."

Shadi turned angrily towards the greasy haired man who was still paralyzed and slightly in shock, "Tell me what your master did to these bracelets."

"I don't know what he did. I had nothing to do with making the bracelets." Severus said now fearing for his life for failing to answer the mage's question and tried to struggle against the chains holding him.

You are useless to me then. For your crimes against my charges and the Egyptian Gods you shall pay with your life." Shadi exclaimed getting ready to send this pathetic soul to the deepest reaches of the Shadow Realm.

Severus closed his eyes in resignation. This was the end and there was nothing he could do. The sheer power that was now radiating off this strange man was striking fear through his very soul.

"Wait!" Yugi yelled.

Shadi turned to face the young prince. "What is it your highness?"

"I know this may sound crazy but please spare him." Yugi pleaded.

Shadi looked to the Pharaoh and High Priest for confirmation. They nodded. "He has been kind and is against what this so-called Headmaster has done to us." explained Atem.

"If you kill him we would probably get someone worse." agreed Bakura thinking about the old guy with the weird eye.

Shadi turned on Snape again and released him with a wave of his hand. "You are spared for now, but be warned my charges have already fulfilled their intended destinies. Their current duties which were decreed by the Gods have nothing to do with this upcoming war of yours. If your force them to fight in your war, the wizarding world will pay as a whole and there will be dire consequences. You and your people have gone against the gods themselves for interfering in their lives and they will claim vengeance for your master's foolishness."

Harry and the twins had just sat outside the door still invisible in awe of what they were hearing. It occurred to Harry that maybe they should have attempted to go in and help Snape but shock had paralyzed them.

Swiftly Shadi looked at the door to the classroom. "I sense the presence of others nearby." the priest stated more quietly so as not to scare off the ones spying on them.

Severus went to the door and saw nothing. He heard a faint noise and quickly grabbed at the thin air where the noise had come from and found Potter and the Weasley twins. "In now," he growled menacingly as he glared down at them.

"I shall have to erase their memories they have heard too much." Shadi calmly stated.

"No! Wait please." the trio cried out. "I am no fan of Dumbledore and the twins won't go running to him." Harry pleaded.

Fred: Not after what
George: we have heard.

"Please, we don't want the wizarding world to suffer for Dumbledore's mistakes. Let us help you find a way to escape." Harry begged.

"While they are stuck here they could probably use some friends they can confide in." Fred added.

Severus was floored. He couldn't believe Potter would go against Albus. He never thought the boy realized he was just a pawn.

"My Pharaoh it is up to you and the others. It will take some time to research and discover a way to remove these cursed items. Or maybe we should just storm the castle. The Medjai know something is wrong and are not happy. They await my return and your orders to come and fight." Shadi said.

[How did Harry and the twins hear the truth of what was being said? asked a confused Yugi.]

[I am not sure, perhaps them hearing Shadi acknowledge our true predicament overrides the charm on the bracelets. Atem suggested.]

[It would be nice for someone else to know about us other than our captors. Ryou said hopefully]

[I agree. Maybe they could truly help us get out of here. Seto said.]

[Well let's have their true intentions checked by Shadi and allow them to keep their memories. Marik said.]

The teens conversed mentally and agreed. "Shadi will you check their minds for any lies. If they are telling the truth we would gladly accept their offer of friendship and help." Atem said firmly.

"We also do not want a bloodbath to get us out of here. The students are innocent and we do not wish them harm." said Seto wondering if they could really stop the Medjai from killing everyone.

"Just their elders." Bakura added hatefully.

Shadi checked the three boys and the man called Snape. "They are safe and not truly loyal to the headmaster." Shadi determined. "My Pharaoh I must depart it seems the Headmaster senses a disturbance and is on his way here."

"Shadi are the others really safe?" Marik asked worriedly needing reassurance.

"Yes your sister and brother along with Kaphiri and the girls escaped Egypt to where young Kaiba is staying. They are safe for now." the priest replied. "You" he pointed at Snape, "take care of my charges or you will pay the ultimate price, which I promise is much worse than death. Shadi threatened.

Severus just nodded in agreement quickly as his mind took in everything he had heard and was experiencing. He had called the Ishtar boy Pharaoh and deferred to him and Kaiba. Could they be the ones the Dark Lord needs for the ritual? He decided to keep his eye on those two and see who they really were.

Shadi addressed his charges, "I shall return and I will find a way to free you."

"Shadi please keep the others safe." Atem requested while nodding his head acknowledging his faith in his priest.

"Of course my Pharaoh." Shadi said bowing as he disappeared.

"Potter! Weasleys!" Snape snapped. "Go somewhere, anywhere before the Headmaster gets here. He will be suspicious if finds you three here. I will send for you once he has left." Snape ordered.

The trio of boys went back to their dorm since that's where they were supposed to have been in the first place. The twins immediately lay down on the couches tired and stressed from everything that had been going on. Harry got out a book and began reading for a while trying to wrap his mind around what he had just discovered. They did not dare say anything in the dorm room not knowing whose ears maybe around.

Albus entered the potions classroom and saw they were getting ready to start more tutoring. "Is everything alright Severus, I thought I sensed a disturbance in the castle?" Albus asked in a grandfatherly tone.

Severus told the Headmaster everything was fine and that they were just running a bit behind. Severus pictured in his head a fight with the mages to cause lateness. The Headmaster brushed his mind and seemed satisfied with the excuse. Dumbledore then left quickly to go about his business all the while getting deadly glares from the teens.

After Albus left Severus sent Dobby to retrieve Potter and the twins and have them meet back at the mages dorm. Severus cancelled the morning tutoring so the mages could get to know the Gryffindor students better. He led the teens back to their dorm wanting to ask many questions but held his tongue. He stayed in the dorm and worked on lesson plans while the boys talked.

"So how is it that you are against your own Headmaster?" Seto asked looking at the Potter boy with calculating eyes still somewhat suspicious.

Harry told the mages about his school life and the trials Dumbledore misled him into. He even told them about the return of Voldemort and loss of Cedric. "And now I am having these strange visions and dreams and the Headmaster refuses to explain any of it to me." Harry said finishing with his story.

"And what of you two?" Atem asked the twins wanting to know why they would turn against the man their brother was working for.

"We stand with Harry and the Headmaster betrayed and used him so that means we are against him." George explained simply.

"That and after hearing what he did to you five…We are disgusted by our supposed leader of the light." Fred added.

Snape watched the boys thoughtfully and was surprised at how much Potter knew about what was going on. He was beginning to think he may have misjudged the boy. He wished the Occlumency lessons were going better but with their history he didn't see how he could teach the boy the mind arts. It required trust and patience with one another which neither of them possessed towards the other.

"So what exactly did our older brother do to warrant such hatred from you guys?" Fred asked tentatively nervous about setting them off based on their reaction when they first met.

"He is the one who identified us to your Headmaster. And he is a direct threat to our family." Atem answered angrily at the reminder that those he had truly come to care for and saw as family were in danger because of that wizard. Oh the things he would change when he got back to Egypt about allowing foreign wizards into his country.

"He is also attempting to seduce my sister and turn her against us by using spells on her." Marik raged.

The twins flinched inwardly at the raw hatred coming from the two teens. But on the same token they were having trouble feeling sorry for their brother if what the two teens were saying was true. With the betrayal of their youngest siblings they were not sure who they could trust in their family which hurt tremendously. Everything they ever knew and believed about their family was slowly being shattered.

Atem saw the raw pain and disgust in the twins' eyes and pulled back his rage a little. It was not the twins' fault their older brother had no morals and followed an evil old man.

Why were you kidnapped by the Headmaster in the first place?" Harry asked curiously while trying to get away from the topic of Bill Weasley.

"For our protection, Bumblevort is after our magick or us or something." Bakura responded joining in while watching Marik and Atem carefully. He could practically feel their rage burning.

"What is special about your magic?" George asked the mages hoping they wouln't bite his head off.

Severus perked up hoping to learn more about Shadow Magick as he studied the mages carefully as they answered.

"We just use Egyptian magick," Seto answered evasively.

"What is Egyptian magic?" Harry asked wanting to know more. He didn't know there was different magic out there.

"It's um….older magick." Yugi stammered uncomfortably.

Harry wanted to ask more about the magic but noticed how uncomfortable the teens were looking so he backed off on that line of questioning.

"So who was that guy in the turban?" Fred jumped in seeing that they would get no further info about their magic.

"He is a protector of sorts." Bakura answered not liking where this conversation was headed.

"He has your magic too?" Harry asked hoping to get more details on the strange looking guy.

"Yes," Bakura responded again looking over at Atem and hoping that didn't give away too much. He wasn't sure how much the Pharaoh wanted them to admit to.

Fred: What was that…
George: cool gold key thing…
Fred: he used on us?

"It… it was nothing more than a mere trinket representing his Egyptian heritage." Atem said feeling almost guilty for completely lying to the twins.

"Oh, kinda like the ones you guys have," Harry said innocently not seeing the mages flinch at that statement.

"Yea, something like," that Marik agreed nervously.

Severus picked up on the lies and the half-truths the mages seemed to be telling. He wondered what those gold trinkets truly were now. As the conversation kept going the mages seemed to get more and more evasive and uncomfortable.

"So why did that guy in the turban call you Pharaoh, Atem?" Harry asked looking at the teen curiously not realizing how uncomfortable he was making the other.

Atem looked to Seto for some help on that one. /How in Ra's name do I answer that question?/

/Let's go with what Dumbledore believes that we are descendants of ancient Egyptians. Seto replied not really sure what they should say either and hoping that was the right choice./

Atem sighed and then looked at the three wizards. "I am the descendant of a pharaoh of ancient Egypt. It is just a nickname that everyone uses."

The three Gryffindor's did not look entirely convinced but let it go since they doubted they would get a straight answer from the teen. Severus had also picked up on the lie and wondered what the mages were hiding.

Then Fred threw in the worst possible question they could have asked. "So how did you guys fulfill your destiny that the turban man mentioned?

The mages didn't know how to answer that one. All their secrets were within that story.

"Ah it's kinda complicated." Yugi stammered paling at the question directed at them.

"Forgive us; you have trusted us with your secrets. It's just that we are afraid to divulge too much about ourselves for fear of endangering our families, friends, and us." Atem finally responded.

Harry and the twins dropped it for now and taught the shadow mages exploding snap and wizard's chess. The twins chatted about their superior pranking skills and they all started throwing out ideas for future pranks.

Everyone went down to lunch though it was quite empty without the other Weasleys. Fred and George went to see Dumbledore to see if they would be allowed to return to Grimmauld Place.

Hermione had finally appeared. "Where have you been all morning, Harry?" asked a curious Hermione.

He told her he had been with the new transfer students. She pouted because she would have liked to get to know them a bit better. Hermione sat down next to Seto and asked Seto endless questions about being a CEO at his age.

After lunch the mages met up with Lupin in their dorm to work on DADA, Charms, and HOM. By the time Lupin got part way through History of Magic the teens were ignoring him. He was starting to understand Severus's issues with this subject and these teens.

"You might as well go down to dinner I you are not going to pay attention to me, Remus said finally giving up.

"History of Magic is so boring." whined Marik.

"It is still important to learn." Remus argued as he applied his glamour and escorted them to the Great Hall for dinner.

It was just Harry and Hermione at the table. The twins had gone back to be with their family. So it was a quiet affair. When they came back up to their dorm they were finally alone for a change. Exhausted from the day the teens soon went to sleep.

Albus was about ready to call it an evening, but Moody arrived with news. "We have a problem. The younger Kaiba has escaped and disappeared without a trace. Our fake Kaiba has no idea where he went and has been avoiding Kaiba Corp. security all day. The brat locked him out of the computer mainframe and called in security." Moody explained.

"How is that possible the boy should not have been able to tell the difference between the copy of Kaiba's personality and mind altering spells?" questioned Albus.

"I wonder if those kids found a way to contact the brat." suggested Moody.

"Impossible," Dumbledore said. "It would probably be best to search for the boy." requested Albus. Moody agreed and told the Headmaster he would return soon.

Over the next few days Moody spent his time in Japan and Egypt looking for the youngest Kaiba. The mages days consisted of more tutoring, getting to know Harry and Hermione, and trying to get books from the library to research the enchanted bracelets and possible spells that had been used. They were allowed to use the library but everything they looked at was useless. At some point Seto took out his laptop and emailed Mokuba again to make sure all was well.

Mokuba,
Shadi came by a few days ago and couldn't get us out of here. He is going to do research on how to free us. I hope you are safe. How are Kisara and Mana taking this? Bakura is constantly worried about Kisara, as am I. Please make sure the girls don't do something foolish. Tell everyone we miss them.

Yugi asks that his Grandpa and friends be left in the dark about all this. We all agree that they will be safer that way from these wizards. Atem also asks that Samira also be kept in the dark about this for the time being. We are doing alright and as of right now do not want an all-out war on our hands seeing as this is a school where innocent children attend. The Pharaoh also asks that the Medjai do not amass their army yet and to stay put.

They insist on teaching us their magics like it makes up for our captivity. It is a weaker magic but maybe we can gain some advantage. It is getting late. Be safe.
Love,
Seto

Mokuba had responded to Seto saying he was safe and that everyone was up in arms ready to fight.

Big Brother,
We are all fine. Mana and Kisara are researching and working on their magicks. Isis, Rishid, and Roland are helping with the research and looking after me. Kisara says she misses her boys and Mana sends her love to Atem. Professor Hawkins and Rebecca are researching any spell books they can get their hands on also. Shadi has not been around much. He is off searching books on spells. Kaphiri and the other three Medjai are going stir crazy. They are ready for action. Don't worry big brother we will find a way to get you out of there soon.
Love,
Mokuba

Moody returned to report no luck. Dumbledore sighed; their fake Kaiba must not have been good enough. He let the matter be for now. A twelve year old child was no threat.
