Things you need to know:

From wiki: When Pegasus created the cards, he unknowingly created a gate that connects the human world and the Duel Monsters Spirit World.

Shadow Realm: I realized how complicated the shadow realm is since it only lines up with the English anime. So for this story the shadow realm is multiple things. And yes I am taking some liberties on this.

1. It is sentient, that's why you cannot cheat

2. It is a place where souls are sent for eternal torment if they lose a shadow game with their souls as the ante or the item holders send a soul there

3. It is a middle point of sorts between earth and the Duel Monsters Spirit World. (Which I think it said was 11 different dimensions)The duel monsters use the realm as a sort of passageway with access to all the different dimensions they live in. (if you play WoW picture Dalaran with the all the portals to different places)

Old Notes from Original Chap. 5:

Pharaohs Power: All Marik says in the Battle City Arc is that its infinite and boundless meaning the same thing. In the Memory arc, when Atem unlocks his memory and I would assume powers, it shows him summoning the ultimate monster, the Creator of Light, which has to be part of it since she has infinite powers. And controlling the spirits of gods has got to help with the whole ruling the world thing. With this said I am just going with it.

I don't want Voldemort or Dumbledore going after the items since they make it pretty clear only the destined ones can wield the powers of the items unless won through a duel. Both want to use the power of all the mages in whatever way possible. At this point neither realize how powerful Atem is.

So my take on this is basically that Atem is the most powerful of the shadow mages. The controlling of the God's is what allows the bearer to control the world if he so chooses. It is also my understanding that this power/magic can be taken from Atem or any magic user, since Marik blatantly tried to. In Atem's case it seems he has to either be defeated in a duel or willingly allow the extraction before anything will work.

Power Extraction: means to extract powers from magical beings or objects by the use of spells/rituals, potions, or a power draining athame. It can be temporary or permanent if absorbed completely. The powers when extracted appear as several blue white orbs that can be absorbed into a person or item.

Chapter 11
(Still January 5th)

After class everyone went to the Great Hall for lunch. The teens happily complained about Umbridge with Ron and Harry. While Hermione just kept quiet and eyed the transfer students with suspicion. She was positive they did something to Professor Umbridge but no clue what it was. Luna joined the group of students at the Gryffindor table and chatted with Ginny and Neville.

"So what do we have next?" Ryou asked.

"Transfiguration with the Ravenclaw students." Luna answered dreamily.

"That's good, no slimy Slytherins this time. Ron said happily.

Luna stared intently at Atem and mysteriously told him quietly that what was his would be discovered. Harry overheard Luna's comment but pretended to be occupied with his meal. Atem looked at her questioningly but she had already begun to chat with Ginny again like she had not said anything. Ryou and Seto were close enough to have heard her and looked over to a nervous looking Atem.

[What was that supposed to mean? Atem asked worried since he had many secrets.]

[She couldn't know about the depth of your powers or the Gods you control, no one but those directly tied to you know about it. Ryou said trying to assure the pharaoh.]

[We just need to be cautious; all we need is for the old fool to find out especially since the Pharaoh has his own body. Bakura added into the conversation.]

[That's right; we do not know what one would have to do to attain control over him and his powers now. Yugi added worried about his best friend.]

[Actually I know. Don't worry since you now have a body and full command of your powers they should be more difficult to strip from you Pharaoh. You see when I was my evil self I needed to take your powers from you since I was bent on killing you as an added bonus. All I really had to do was break your spirit and force you into submission which would have allowed me full access to the power within you once the puzzle had been won, and there are many methods of breaking someone. But all that is based on you being bound to the puzzle and someone would have to force you into your spirit form and bind you to the puzzle again for that method. But you are the only one who knows the binding spell you used to trap your soul and shadow magic in the puzzle. Now that you have a body the scriptures say there are only two ways for you or any shadow mage to lose their powers. You either have to be willing or defeated in a shadow game to lose your powers no matter what anyone does to you. And that's a moot point because only tomb keepers know the spell that would have to be used to strip shadow magick from you if you did somehow lose a shadow game or agree to it. So there is really nothing to worry about. Marik said calmly not realizing he was completely freaking the Pharaoh out.]

Atem shuddered at the idea of being trapped again or the idea of being tortured into submission.

[Marik you idiot you are freaking the Pharaoh out! Bakura yelled mentally.]

[Don't worry that will never happen again. Nor will we allow anyone to gain you or your powers. Seto assured vowing to protect him better in this lifetime.]

[Oops, sorry Pharaoh I was trying to be reassuring Marik said sheepishly]

Harry noticed the color drain from Atem so he leaned over and whispered that Luna was a bit loony and not to worry too much about what she had told him. Atem was not comforted at all. Marik had reminded him of how evil he had once been and the consequences of secrets revealed.

Hermione got everyone's attention and told them it was time to head to class. "Professor McGonagall does not like tardiness." she told the new students.

Atem was relieved at the welcome distraction. They all quickly got up and headed for class.

Everyone sat down in class. McGonagall gave out an assignment to turn owls into opera glasses. Then she moved onto the "transfer students". She looked at them with hostility and disgust. Minerva was not happy with the situation at all. She did not think teaching already potentially dangerous and evil teens more magic was a good idea.

[Well this will be fun. Ryou commend dryly.]

[Oh yea she is going to be a pain. Marik confirmed]

"You will practice turning a matchstick into a needle. When you have done this successfully you can move on to the next spell." she said crisply.

All five mages got the spell right on the first try and raised their hands. She walked over to them, looked at their needles, gave them the next step turning a snail into a teapot. She then glared and walked off. The mages glared right back at the uppity woman.

Ryou was struggling with the second spell and called her over to ask for help but what he got was a tongue-lashing by the harsh woman.

Atem snapped at her having had enough of this woman's attitude, "Back off. We have never been around this type of magic and Ryou is trying the best he can."

Minerva was unnerved by the disrespect the boy showed her. She scolded him about respect for ones teachers and he replied darkly that they owed her no respect. She was done with the boy.

"Detention Mr. Ishtar," she said icily. He just glared at her and left with the others as class ended.

The golden trio split off from the mages and headed for Hagrid's hut. Hermione had mentioned seeing smoke earlier. The trio hoped to warn him about Umbridge and maybe convince him to tone down his lessons. When Hagrid opened the door he was an awful sight to see. Bruises marred his face and dried blood was on his clothes. Hagrid gave the trio a rundown of his adventures with the giants and how he hoped some would ally themselves with Dumbledore. As the trio got ready to head back Hermione gently suggested some ideas for lessons but he would hear none of it and shooed them out the door.

"I cannot believe that woman." fumed Bakura as he popped out of the ring in spirit form. The mages were unsure as to why the woman held such hostility towards them.

"Thank you, Pharaoh for sticking up for me. That woman was awfully aggressive." Ryou said feeling guilty that the Pharaoh had gotten in trouble for his sake.

"It was nothing. I would do it for any of you. It is not like I am going to attend a detention." Atem stated with a reassuring smile acknowledging Ryou's thanks.

"I wonder what the old man told the professors about us. The way McGonagall acted it was not the transfer student story." Yugi pondered.

The mages all agreed that attending a detention was a ridiculous notion and headed to their dorm to hang out. Fred and George joined them and helped them plan their first prank of the school term. They recruited Dobby who readily agreed to help in whatever pranks they did. For this first one he helped them secretly acquire mass amounts of chocolate. The twins and Marik snuck down to the Great Hall and cast their charms. They quickly ran back to the dorm making sure no one saw them around.

At dinner everyone came in and waited for their food to appear like normal. No one seemed to notice or care that the round braziers on the sides of the hall were not lit up. Just as the food appeared the statues holding the braziers started spouting liquid chocolate on everyone in the Great Hall. The ones closest to the head table were charmed to reach the teachers and drench them. Dumbledore was highly amused by this interesting turn of events while Umbridge stood up amongst the chaos trying to get the children under control who were now screaming and laughing loudly. Snape just sat there disgusted and suspicious of the guilty party but he did enjoy watching Umbridge get flustered.

The students began hurling globs of the chocolate at each other with spoons and cups. The guilty parties just allowed themselves to be covered in chocolate as well and encouraged the food fight that was ensuing. After giving the students a few minutes of total chaos Dumbledore finally stopped the madness by making his voice louder with a Sonorus charm and making the statues halt their barrage of chocolate all over the place. He lightly chided whoever the pranksters were with an amused twinkle in his eyes. Umbridge seethed and was determined to get to the bottom of this. The teachers tried casting Scourgify on themselves but found the chocolate would not go away. What no one but the guilty party knew was they had to use actual water and soap to get the chocolate off. The twins had made the chocolate impervious to the cleaning charm.

After dinner Lupin came in for the tutoring session with the mages shortly after they had cleaned up. He asked Atem about the detention and was told that he would not be attending. Lupin dropped it figuring he could talk with Minerva later about it. What was the point, the boy was better off here and getting his tutoring in. Remus worked on DADA, Charms, and worked heavily on Transfiguration Theory with them since that is what caused some of their problems with Minerva.

Minerva stormed up to the headmasters office and upon entering told him what happened, "Albus these teens have no respect for authority. I assigned Atem Ishtar a detention and he didn't even bother showing up. How can we keep them under control if they will not obey us?"

"They are not exactly students Minerva and it will be difficult to discipline them in a normal manner. You must also realize they seem to be very loyal to one another. Single one out and the others will go on the defensive. However, I will speak with Mr. Ishtar and he can serve it with me personally. Who knows maybe we can still win them over with patience and kindness Minerva." Dumbledore said in his best grandfatherly tone with twinkling eyes.

"I will try to be more tolerant. But I must say it is difficult knowing that they are loyal followers of you-know-who." Minerva said as she left the headmasters office now reassured that he would take care of it.

Albus fire-called Moody and Snape assuming he was done with Potter's lesson for the evening. When they arrived he told them that he needed them to retrieve Atem Ishtar for him. "I need to have a little chat with the boy."

Moody and Snape came into the dorm room and Moody immediately went and grabbed Atem roughly off the couch and restrained him.

"What is the meaning of this?" snarled a shocked Atem struggling against Moody and his manhandling.

Snape did not want to be there, but answered his question. "It seems you have a meeting with the Headmaster."

The others quickly jumped up to retaliate, but Atem stopped them. They backed down hesitantly. "Let's see what the fool wants," Atem said.

Moody led him out followed by an unsure Snape. Alastor cast a disillusionment charm on all three of them so as to not be noticed by anyone who may have been wandering the halls.

Once in the office Dumbledore stood up and Moody let go of Atem pushing the boy forward. Atem left his mind link open so he could relay what was going on.

"It seems we have a problem Mr. Ishtar. I received a complaint that you were disrespectful towards one of your teachers today and skipped a detention. That is unacceptable behavior in this school." Dumbledore said forcefully.

Atem just gaped at him. Was he serious!? Atem almost laughed out loud. "You fool we do not and will not respect those that hold us against our will now or ever. We will attend your magic classes and will leave the teachers alone if they leave us be." Atem said with finality in his tone.

"So be it, if you will not respect my staff then you face punishment. You will learn who is in charge here." Dumbledore snapped dropping his grandfatherly façade and briefly showing the imposing force he truly was.

Severus interrupted getting a bad feeling about this situation. "Headmaster do you not think this is going a bit too far…"

"These mages must be disciplined by some means; we cannot have them running amuck in the school. Punish Mr. Ishtar as you see fit Alastor." Dumbledore said with authority while sitting down and ending the conversation by looking down at paperwork on his desk. The conversation was clearly over.

Moody advanced on the young mage. Moody had no qualms about using a painful curse on the boy to teach him his place. He considered it a necessary evil. The mages had to be kept under control at all costs for the safety of all. And sometimes pain was the most effective tool in teaching someone who was really in charge. After seeing what darkness those mages held within them and what they were capable of, he personally thought they should be locked away for good or given the dementors kiss. In his mind they were just as bad as Voldemort himself.

Atem took an involuntary step back not sure what the crazy looking man was going to do. He was looking at Atem with utter malice and contempt. A trickle of slight fear ran down his link to the others.

[Atem, what is going on?! Seto said a bit alarmed at the feelings he was getting from the Pharaoh]

[I don't…Atem began to say just as he got hit with the spell] "Crucio!" Moody said. [Then pain filtered through]

[Atem! Yugi cried out with concern while gritting his teeth from the pain he felt.]

[Pain…anger…weakness…flashed through their links]

[Pharaoh, what is that madman doing to you? Answer us! Bakura all but yelled in their minds.]

Atem closed his link off not wanting Yugi to feel the pain any more than he probably had. Pain and anger shook every fiber of his being. He collapsed to the ground and tried to not scream out loud. He had never experienced pain like this before. Atem dared not activate his puzzle and instead focused on his deep connection with the shadows and asked for their help.

"Headmaster don't you think Moody has held the curse long enough?" Severus said hoping Albus would see reason. Severus was in complete shock. Never had he thought Albus would allow an unforgivable to be cast on someone, let alone on a child or teenager.

Suddenly shadows began to form to protect their master and drove the pain out. Atem looked up shakily with pure hatred radiating off of him, dark shadows striking out dangerously. Moody backed up fearfully. He glared at the shadows that had driven his punishment out of the boy before him. The bracelet could not hold the boys magic completely at bay. Atem's energy decreased quickly and the shadows retreated and finally dissipated all together. Atem was shaking from pain and exhaustion.

"I suggest you and your friends do not cause any more trouble or as you have seen there will be consequences. Dumbledore stated finally looking up at the angry mage. He then told Snape to take the boy back to his dorm.

Severus helped Atem to his feet and led the shaking boy out of the office. Once out of sight he quickly released the mage.

"Are you alright?" hissed Severus genuinely concerned for his charge. He couldn't believe what he had witnessed this evening. Any respect he had for the headmaster flew out the window in that instant.

"Everything hurts and I feel weak, the shadows protected me in the end but it took everything I had to control them." Atem answered tiredly.

"What? Didn't you call on them? Snape asked confused as he steadied the teen that looked like he would pass out at any moment.

"Yes and shadows can protect its masters if the need arises but it is dangerous and extremely draining with these Ra Damned bracelets on. It's risky calling on them like that." Atem said wavering in his steps.

Severus wanted to ask more but saw that his charge had nothing left so he quickly led the barely conscious boy to the dorms. He assured Atem that he had a potion to help with the pain.

Meanwhile, the others were confused and angry when they could not get a response from the Pharaoh. Bakura took over Ryou's body stalked over to Lupin and put a dagger to his throat.

"What is he doing to the Pharaoh?"

"Who?" Lupin asked.

"Atem!" Bakura snapped impatiently.

"I swear I don't know." Remus pleaded.

Yugi was quietly sitting curled up on a squashy chair in shock from the pain he felt. Marik stayed close to him to make sure he was alright while Bakura and Seto drilled the werewolf for information.

Harry was headed to Gryffindor tower when he saw Snape steadying Atem at the portrait. "Professor what happened?" Harry asked worriedly.

"Long story." Snape responded crisply.

Harry followed Snape into chaos. He saw Remus at knife point, a pale and shaky Yugi, and the others had shadowy tendrils wrapping around them feeding off their anger.

"Wait!" Snape yelled hoping Bakura would not slit Lupin's throat as he walked in and got everyone's attention. He gently lifted the exhausted mage onto the couch.

"Dobby!" Snape gritted out harshly.

"What happened to him?" demanded Seto as Bakura slowly let Remus go. Remus sagged to the ground in relief.

Yugi sat up slowly and looked over to Atem with worry in his eyes. Snape told them explanations had to wait a minute. When Dobby popped in he ordered him to take a Cruciatus potion from his private stores immediately. The others watched as Dobby came back and Severus gave him the potion. Atem stopped looking like he was in pain and fell asleep.

Harry couldn't believe it. "Not that curse. How could he…" he whispered. All eyes went to Harry.

"How could he what?" asked Seto in such a cold tone one would swear the temperature dropped in the room.

Severus stepped in and explained that Dumbledore had allowed Moody to cast a Cruciatus curse on him as punishment for his insolence towards McGonagall.

"And what is this curse?" Seto asked as he clenched his fists in anger ready to hit something.

"Its…It's…a torture curse that makes you feel like you have been tortured with a thousand hot knives in mere few seconds." Harry stuttered.

"What! He was just defending Ryou and that woman gave out the detention. We will not attend such useless attempts at trying to punish us. We are not here to learn, get grades, and make others happy. We don't care about modern magic or the affairs of England. They will both pay for harming the Pharaoh." Marik ranted with a deadly look in eyes.

"Will he be ok?" Yugi asked nervously.

Snape told him he would be fine with some rest from the curse and his magic protecting him. As relief washed over Yugi, he suddenly passed out too strained from the pain. Lupin and Snape ran to him.

"What just happened?" Lupin asked frantically.

Severus ran a diagnostic spell on the boy and was shocked. "What the…"

Seto stepped in quickly…"He feels any pain Atem does if their connection is open." Seto said carefully trying not to give too much away. Snape had Dobby get another potion.

"So your saying what happens to one happens to the other?" Lupin asked unbelievingly.

"That's just great," Severus sighed as he gave Yugi the potion. Snape and Lupin each took a boy and carried them to bed.

Bakura let Ryou have his body back now that there was no danger. Ryou was nervous and scared. {It will be ok. I will protect you assured Bakura.} {I know Kura.} Bakura stayed awake for a while trying to comfort Ryou.

The mages sat on the squashy chairs not knowing what to do. They were in shock. Though Harry was beginning to wonder why he was surprised anymore after what he had learned at the beginning of the year about Dumbledore.

He stayed with the teens for a bit and helped them study some of the lessons they were behind in.

Severus graded papers and Lupin helped the boys with their studies since they had decided to stay with the shaken boys for a bit. Severus had a hard time concentrating on his grading. He was starting to see Potter in a whole new light. The boy was clearly not as blind as he originally thought. His group dynamics were slowly changing also. He seemed to be less involved with the youngest Weasley brats. He had become closer to Longbottom, Lovegood, and the Weasley twins. Severus had also noticed that Potter had started applying himself more and his schoolwork had improved dramatically over the year.

Then there were the shadow mages. They held many secrets. He wondered why they treated Atem with such deference. He understood that the teen had royal blood but he didn't think the teen had any political power over Egypt. Sometimes the mages would slip up and call each other almost something else. There were definitely other nicknames but they caught themselves before they actually finished the words they were saying. He figured Atem and Seto were the ones the Dark Lord wanted for the ritual based on the others calling Atem pharaoh and Atem generally referred to Seto for advice when he seemed unsure of something. A Pharaoh of Egypt generally had the utmost confidence in the High Priests opinion.

The only explanation he could come up with was that they all were very aware of their ancestry and were somehow trained in Ancient Egyptian customs. They must have some political powers otherwise why would that Shadi guy defer to the one he called Pharaoh. He wondered how the others fit into this mysterious puzzle.

Then there was Ryou Bakura. His connection to Egypt was unclear. He was complicated on his own. One minute he was a scared innocent teenager and then the next minute he was this dark manic being that scared him a bit. And where the hell did he keep getting daggers from. It's like he pulls them out of thin air? They didn't trust him enough to tell him their secrets either. He sighed at the complications in his life and told the teens it was time for sleep.

"Potter I will escort you even though it's not that far incase Umbridge is out." Snape said. He bid goodnight to the mages and took Potter out. "I don't understand everything that is going on but you need to be seen with the youngest Weasleys and Granger occasionally or the Headmaster was going to get suspicious."

With that warning Harry decided to take a leap of faith and hoped it didn't bite him in the arse. "Professor, can I talk to you about some things at our next remedial potions class?" Harry whispered.

Severus was surprised by the request. It looked like Potter trusted him all of a sudden. "Yes we can talk then privately on Wednesday." he whispered back.

"Thanks, goodnight Professor." Harry said smiling slightly as he turned to enter his dorm.

Harry came into the common room where Ron and Hermione were waiting for him. They asked him where he had been. He told them with the new students. Hermione was a little put out that he had not brought her along. Ron was also upset he had not been brought along. Dumbledore wanted him to keep an eye on the new students though he didn't know why. The trio then talked about Umbridge interrogating DA members.

"She is really suspicious of everyone." Ron said.

"We will have to be more careful." Hermione warned.

They talked more about upcoming DA meetings and occlumency. Then they got onto the topic of the new students. Harry hadn't told them what he knew about the 'transfer students' .

"You know Harry you really should be careful with those new students. They could be dangerous. We still do not know anything about them and we have no idea what they did to Umbridge today." Hermione said as she tried to figure it out in her head.

"And look how they got away with everything in Snape's class. It was bloody brilliant but suspicious. Ron pointed out.

"And don't forget that Ishtar boy and how awful he was towards Professor McGonagall." Hermione added on not liking how they treated her. She was a great professor and deserved respect.

"I know we don't know much but they seem alright. They are fun to hang around with. Besides Remus or Snape are generally in there also so it's not like I am in any danger," Harry responded thinking that maybe Hermione was trustworthy. She just wanted to get to know the students to make sure they were not evil.

"That's the point. Why are they almost constantly supervised by Professor Snape and Lupin? We know they hate our magic and have no interest in being here.

"So what magic do they possess?" Ron asked joining back in the conversation.

"I don't know but I think I am going to do some research on Egyptian and Japanese magic and see if they differ much from ours." Hermione said with a determined look on her face that probably spelled trouble for the mages.

"Oh great! More research. I swear Hermione that is all you ever do." Ron complained.

"Think about it. These strange foreign teens show up who seem to hate wizards in general and are placed in fifth year with us. That within itself is strange because I know Kaiba and Atem are older than us and I would assume the others are as well. They are at least the twins' age. Professor Snape has an odd tolerance for their horrible behavior and disrespect and have you noticed that not only is Professor Lupin here but I swear I saw Moody here the other day. I am sure these transfer students are hiding something big. Hermione said trying to persuade Harry to be more careful with her argument.

"I still say they are spies for Voldemort." Ron said not all that impressed with the new students because of their attitude towards his older brother.

"We don't know that for sure but we should find out if they are out to get you Harry." Hermione said worrying for her best friend who seemed to be in constant danger.

"I don't think they are but I do agree that they have secrets. They all have an Egyptian background and I am pretty sure they really do have different magic from ours but I have no idea what it is or what their connection to Egypt is." Harry responded not sure how much he should tell his friends about what he has discovered.

They talked a bit more and then went to sleep soon after that with a hopefully Harry and a worried and curious Hermione.

In the Slytherin dorms Draco Malfoy was awake writing his father about the new students. He told him that there were five new students from Egypt and Japan. He complained about the one called Kaiba and how he had been thrown into a wall by the temperamental teenager. He also mentioned the weird things going on in Severus and Umbridge's class. With his letter finished he snuck off to the owlery and then went back to his dorm room.
