I got the potion from the witchcraft and wizardry website

Power of the Puzzle: protecting the user from harm and magical forces, ability to communicate with Duel Monster spirits, sense impending danger and great power, interfere with the magic of other Millennium Items, power of unity, return souls to bodies, Can remove an evil presence from one's body (mind crush), visions from the dead, visions from the Gods. Never losing games or something?

Millennium Items: (Got a lot of this from multiple yu-gi-oh sites. Authenticity not guaranteed)

As a whole the items increase magical energy thus making the mages even more powerful than they already are. One can only go as far as their energy allows so this boosts their magical capabilities.

Protection from other items and other magicks used against them.

The items are a direct connection to the realm itself.

Allows for easier less energy draining summoning of monsters. Non- Item holders can summon monsters still but at a greater energy cost

All items allow shadow realm to be opened, shadow games, penalty games, soul removal to loser of game

Chapter 15

Monday morning found the mages heading down to breakfast sleepily. Atem had them follow him to the Slytherin table where his new friends were sitting and introduced everyone. Those in the Great Hall openly gaped at the transfer students who did the unthinkable by speaking with the Slytherins since sorted or not they were hanging with the Gryffindor students.

Adrian and Terrence smiled up at them realizing that Atem was serious in causing some mealtime chaos and breaking the house taboo.

"So I take it project Unity is something we are going to try and make a reality?" Daphne asked cautiously not really wanting to get her hopes up.

"Of course. I think we should present the idea to Snape but maybe not right after potions. Knowing Marik and Ryou he will not be in a pleasant mood." Atem said smirking wondering what the terrible twin pyros would do today in potions.

Theo and Daphne paled at the hint that there would possibly be more explosions in potions class. They decided to sit as far away as humanly possible from Marik and Ryou.

"You might be right. Why don't we ask him before lunch which should give him some time to cool down?" Theo suggested who was now terrified to attend potions class.

"Or, I don't know you could just not blow something up today. I know after the last three classes that might be a challenge for you. But who knows maybe we will have a miracle today." Daphne added sarcastically while glaring at the teens in question.

Marik grinned evilly. "I think we can arrange that. We will make a potion today." Marik grabbed Ryou and pulled him back over to their table and took out a potions book that they had snagged from the library.

"Oh that's just great. You just gave them an idea." Seto groaned while glaring at the Slytherin girl yet smirking at the same time and completely ruining his supposed annoyance.

Yugi snickered not being able to help himself. This escalated and got the others outright laughing. Well except for Kaiba who just doesn't do out loud laughter.

"Well, would like to join us for breakfast? Since those two are busy making evil plans to drive our potions professor insane." Terrence said good naturedly with clear amusement in his voice.

Atem, Seto, and Yugi agreed and sat down with the four Slytherins much to the chagrin of the other Slytherin students who were sitting there. The twins finally made it down to breakfast saw three of the mages at the Slytherin table. They paused for a moment, shrugged their shoulders, and then joined them. Fred and George introduced themselves and started up a conversation about Quidditch with Terrence and Adrian.

By the time the Gryffindor trio arrived the Great Hall was in quite an uproar with loud whispers and glares everywhere. Most of the glares were coming from Draco and his group of friends. Surprisingly he kept his mouth shut for once because he was too busy contemplating what was going on. The faces at the staff table were an interesting sight to see as well. Dumbledore was looking like he had swallowed something rotten and the rest were either smirking or looked confused.

The trio went over to Marik and Ryou completely dumbfounded.

"What the bloody hell are my brothers and the others doing with those slimy snakes?" Ron fumed as his face started turning an unbecoming shade of red due to his anger.

"You guys were not in here to talk to so they stayed over there with some new friends the Pharaoh has made." Bakura said snidely not liking the redhead's aggressive attitude.

"What are you two doing that you decided to sit here then?" Hermione asked ignoring Ryou's nickname for Atem and almost dreading the answer based on the insane looks on their faces.

"The same thing we do every day." Marik answered grinning madly.

"And what might that be?" Harry asked wondering what Marik was talking about.

"Trying to take over the world, of course." Bakura said while not even batting an eyelid.

Ron just sat down trying to process what it was they just said and whether he should be worried or not. Harry burst out laughing once he realized what the two had just said and Hermione just shook her head and sat down to eat pretending she didn't know what they were saying.

(I suppose I should put the potions class in now…even though it was never part of the original story…)

Potions
The Gryffindor and Slytherin students all arrived to potions right after breakfast and scrambled to take seats as far as humanly possible from Marik and Bakura. So if a Gryffindor and Slytherin just happened to end up sitting together they just came to an understanding that they were with the lesser of two evils.

Even Atem, Seto, and Yugi were a bit wary of what those two had planned because as usual as soon as they entered Bakura took over and had a maniacal grin on his face.

"Oh come on now. We promised to not blow anything up today." Bakura said while cackling evilly loving the fact he was riling everyone up.

"Somehow that does not reassure us." Tracey Davis responded as she sat next to Daphne and Theo.

Bakura just winked at the girl who just turned away from the crazy transfer students.

Much to Ron's displeasure he got stuck next to the twin pyros because he refused to walk with the Slytherin scum that the transfer students had seemingly befriended and had come in behind everyone.

Severus came swooping in took one look at the classroom arrangement, the two psychotic mages, and immediately wanted to cancel class. He sighed and began lecturing on the calming drought and the two main ingredients they would be using. Once finished he got them started.

"This is one of the easier potions you will be making this year. It actually takes effort to screw this one up so I expect decent results. Open your books to page 156. You may begin." Snape said caustically while giving the two mages a warning look.

Everyone got up to get their ingredients and Severus stalked around the room. Surprisingly nothing had blown up yet. Even the other students were starting to relax. In all reality it looked like the mages were finishing up with their potions. He couldn't believe it. A class with no explosions! He turned and began heading to the front of the class but no sooner had he turned his back he heard screams.

Bakura and Marik had finished their potions. Though, it certainly wasn't a boring old calming drought. "Broccium Scintillation Solution." Bakura whispered once their potions were ready to be given to everyone in a most unique way.

When Severus looked over the class he suddenly realized there were mini-clouds throughout the whole room and sparkling liquid was falling on them in various colors. Severus looked up and saw the clouds above his head and groaned. It soaked him as well and he and the rest of the class all started glowing incandescent colors as the potions took effect. Severus was turning a bright glowing purple. Everyone was glowing different colors. Most of the students were more amused than anything after they realized what the potions did.

"Bakura! Ishtar! Did you even brew the calming drought? I know for a fact that potion does not cause people to glow no matter how much you screw it up. What did you do?" Severus yelled as he approached the two mages menacingly who were smirking triumphantly and surprisingly also glowing.

They just grinned at the irate potions professor. Severus sighed and dismissed the class. There was nothing he could do if it was the Scintillation Solution that they had brewed. It just had to wear off on its own time. How they made it different colors though. He had to admit that took talent to adjust that recipe with no previous instruction on the potion or how to adjust it. It was annoying but harmless so he just let it be for now.

The rest of the week went by quickly for the mages due to the crazy amount of time they were forced to spend on their magical education. Severus was pretty ticked about glowing purple for three days straight and the mages felt he was pushing them even harder in his anger for some payback. Even though they were exhausted by Friday from the sheer amount of hours and work they were expected to do they still thought the glowing was hysterically funny.

The mages and Slytherin students held off on Project Unity while Snape was purple in fear that he might say no just to spite them. When the glowing potion wore off much to the disappointment of some students who found it entertaining the teens finally had the courage to approach Snape about the inter-house common room.

They approached him Friday right before lunch. Daphne and the others entered Snape's office when he acknowledged them knocking.

Severus was surprised to see the mages, the twins who had been brought in on the plan, and the four Slytherins who had befriended the others in some crazy twist of fate. He waited for them to speak to see what it was they wanted. He guessed it had something to do with whatever it was they were working on when sitting together at meals and breaks.

"Sir, we are sorry to bother you but we had an idea and were wondering if you would help us make it happen." Daphne said as she handed him their plans.

They all waited anxiously while he looked through everything. "This is very well thought out. I think this is a sound plan. I will speak with the other heads of houses and see if we can't make this Project Unity of yours a reality. If they do I will help you create the room this weekend." Severus said truly impressed with all the students involved. He was surprised the mages got involved in this let alone began befriending some of the students.

After the students left Severus immediately contacted the other heads. He was easily able to convince them that this was a good idea. Now all they had to do was convince Dumbledore. Not only did they have to have his approval but it would make it easier because he could have the castle rearrange its walls a bit to make a huge inter-house common room. Minerva and Severus headed for the headmaster's office.

"Ah Severus my boy come in. Minerva. What brings you two to my office?" Albus asked curiously.

"The students have come up with the idea and we think it would be beneficial. Minerva started and explained what the students came up with.

"So you're saying Four Slytherin students, Voldemort's mages, and the Weasley twins came up with this idea? Do you not think they may have an ulterior motive for this idea of theirs?" Dumbledore said trying to find a way to deny this request.

It would not do to unify the whole school. With unity came strength and that would be dangerous to his ideas for the wizarding world. Most wizards did not know what was best for them. Whereas, he was gifted with vast knowledge and great power and with that came the responsibility to direct the wizarding world along its proper path. A unified school could bring in more independent thought and knowledge of their heritage. Which would in turn, cause people to question his decisions or cause people to not come to him for advice for important decisions.

"Of course it's a bit suspicious and they may have ulterior motives but regardless the idea is a sound one." Minerva argued not really caring where the idea came from.

"Minerva is right. Regardless of where the idea came from it would help the school greatly and possibly reduce the prejudice the house rivalries are breeding." Severus argued sick of Slytherins always getting the label of being evil especially from the Headmaster.

After a bit of arguing Minerva and Severus managed to convince him that this was a good thing. Dumbledore reluctantly agreed realizing he had no valid argument against the idea. Minerva left to let the others know and Severus stayed behind as it seemed Dumbledore had a bit more to say.

"Severus I am curious as to how all this came about. I thought you warned the mages away from the Slytherin students."

"I did Headmaster. But the Ishtar boy seems to have caught their attention and somehow got himself invited into the Slytherin dorm rooms and from there they seemed to have become friends. I see no real harm in it though."

"How can you say that? All we need is for the mages to willingly join Voldemort. I do not want the Slytherin students influencing the mages. They are dangerous enough as it is with no loyalty to either side." Albus lectured his potions master.

Severus bristled but kept his temper in check. Albus gave everyone second chances except for the Slytherin students they were all condemned to be evil by the one person who should be completely unbiased towards the students. "You do realize the students Mr. Ishtar has befriended are from neutral families?"

"Yes, except for Mr. Nott. Just keep an eye on them for me Severus. There is not much I can do about it now. Do keep in mind Severus that mages are dangerous and these particular ones have very dark powers. They need to be controlled at all costs."

"I understand. I will keep an eye on them." Severus said barely restraining his anger.

"Excellent. I will see you at dinner, my boy."

Severus left dramatically with billowing robes. Slytherins were evil. Mages were evil and these shadow mages were the most evil of all. He just didn't get it. He knew the mages held secrets and he was seriously questioning the sanity of two of them but he didn't think they were evil.

Great Hall (Friday evening)
Dumbledore made the announcement at dinner and everyone was chatting with excitement about this new space that would be for all houses. The members of the DA were especially excited since they had become friends and loved the idea they could hang out without hiding in the room of requirement. Umbridge surprisingly did not pitch a fit of course it would have looked really bad for any adult to be discouraging children getting along with one another.

Saturday, January 17th
For the first time since their kidnapping the mages actually looked forward to something. Severus had cancelled their Saturday tutoring so they could help put together the Unity Commons as it had been dubbed.

The teens all met on the first floor right after breakfast to get started. Harry and Hermione got to join in as well. Ron wanted nothing to do with the Slytherin students and refused to help. The castle itself helped them by combining multiple classrooms that were never used and turning it into a widespread common area with many smaller alcoves built in for small study groups.

There was a huge fireplace that could be seen from both sides in the center of the room. The students helped bring in all sorts of different sized desks, normal chairs, bean bag chairs, tables, and couches. Some of it was transfigured by McGonagall and Snape. They put together a mini-library with various copies of school books on all subjects and supplements that could be useful for various grade levels. They also brought in all kinds of wizarding games and stored them in one of the alcoves. As for decorations they worked on including all the house colors and symbols throughout the room.

Severus had a surprise for the mages as well. How he conned Dumbledore into this one he didn't know but he did. There was a door on the left side of the common room that led to another abandoned classroom. Severus showed the boys the room and told them they could do their muggle dueling in there. He had created seating for spectators on the sides of the room kind of like a gymnasium and had two platforms created on opposite ends for them to face off against one another. For the first time Severus saw genuine smiles and gratitude on their faces. He knew he had made the right choice.

Mages Dorm
The mages came back into their dorm after a full day of excitement chatting about introducing Duel Monsters to the students here.

"It seems Fred, George, and our new Slytherin friends are interested in learning duel monsters." Atem told the others while thinking internally the pros and cons of allowing them access to the game.

"There could be a lot of profit in introducing Duel Monsters to the magical world." Seto responded thinking how much he could make off these people who were enthralled with the holograms and had really nothing like it in the magical world.

"It could make our lives very interesting and even pose some problems for us." Marik said thinking about how these people already had magic.

"How so?" Ryou asked wondering what Marik was thinking.

"Shadow Magick is free. If we introduced the wizards to duel monsters they could potentially bond with one of the monsters and be accepted by the shadows. With them already having magic we could potentially end up with quite a few novice shadow mages on our hands." Atem answered immediately realizing what it could mean to introduce wizards to duel monsters.

"That could prove to be troublesome as that would put them under our rule and not their magical government." Yugi added.

"Jurisdiction issues would be oh so fun with these people." Seto grimaced not sure he wanted to deal with that but oh the money he could make.

"Hmm…that could be bad. We have not decided what we are going to do with new shadow mages and summoners yet." Ryou said thinking about the problem while getting feedback from Bakura.

"Regardless of what we decide they would have to be trained. Our magick is too powerful and dangerous to let someone go untrained." Atem reasoned thinking about what he wanted to do with his future subjects. Did he want them to all relocate to Egypt for easier management? They would have to train in Egypt but what about after that? He didn't want to force people to leave everything they have ever known and loved because the shadows decided they were worthy of their powers.

"We could always strip them of their power and erase their memories of it if they refuse to train or refuse us as their rightful rulers. It's not like I don't know the ritual." Marik suggested sensing some stress coming off the Pharaoh.

"We would have to shadow game anyone who wasn't willing." Seto remarked unconcerned about that aspect of what they might have to do.

"Well what do you want to do about the twins and the others?" Yugi asked Atem. It was ultimately his decision.

"I suppose we could let them try the game. But while I do not want to tell them all our secrets I would like to warn them of what they may be getting themselves into." Atem told the others who all seemed to be alright with his decision.

"How will we get ahold of more duel discs and cards? It's not like we can randomly summon all that stuff?" Yugi asked.

Marik and Ryou actually had an answer to that dilemma. "Marik and Bakura have found a way to get items that would typically be difficult to obtain."

"And how might that be?" Atem asked somehow not surprised knowing those two.

"Well we managed to befriend the house-elf that has been bringing us meals and he has agreed to get anything we need for any chaos we may want to cause." Marik explained grinning manically. Oh the destruction they could cause. Kaphiri and their other teachers had been very thorough in teaching him and Atem modern technology, weaponry, and other devices and what they didn't know they could always look up on Seto's laptop.

Everyone agreed this could be very beneficial. After their discussion Seto finally took the opportunity to check his email. The others all waited hoping for some good news. He opened an email from Mokuba and frowned at its contents.

Big Brother,
Everyone here is getting restless. We have not seen or heard from Shadi in quite a few days. Kaphiri is in a fit of rage because Mana kinda disappeared. We assume she went to find you guys but we can't locate her without Shadi. I sent a messenger owl to locate Shadi to let him know about Mana so hopefully he can find her. Well that's all the news I have for now.
Love,
Mokuba

Seto paled considerably after reading the email from his brother. How was he supposed to tell Atem this news?

"Atem you need to read this." Seto finally said reluctantly.

Atem went from angry to apprehensive in a matter of moments. The others, curious to Seto and Atem's reaction quickly went over to the computer and read the email. No one was sure how to respond to the news they had received.
