AN: Still not original chapter 8. Almost there though. This is parts of chaps 9 and 10 based on old reviews I know these chapters had some issues. Hopefully this is better.

Thank you everyone for continuing to give this story a chance. I know I have not made it to where I left off yet but it's getting there. I really am trying to make improvements and keep the story going in the right direction. Again thank you Black Shadow Night and Warden97 for all your support it is appreciated.

Cornflower27: So I tried putting Isis in but I just couldn't get around how angry Atem would be at his guardian. She has been a parent I think for too long to act that irresponsibly. Even using the Gods approach…I just couldn't get it to work the way I would want it too if I did that. I still have at least one more chapter before I have to make a decision on mind links. :P

Things you need to know:

The tropes site acknowledges mana as a ship tease for Atem (yay!)

As for Mana and her personality. I don't know how to balance her out. She is very dependent on Atem in the Egyptian arc along with being slightly ditzy, bubbly, and over all happy all the time. She must be a morning person.

Anyways my goal isn't for her to be completely helpless because she does eventually come into her own in the arc sorta and fights beside Atem however he seems extremely protective of the girl. With that being said she is a weakness for Atem. He would do anything for her. He would kill for her so her in danger is the obvious way for people to get what they want from him.

Ok so I did the best I could with ancient sorcery which really is just the beginning of what is known as modern magic. However I feel like the old version of the magic would be more potent than the modern. The wizards and witches have lost a lot of history and magical knowledge. In the anime Mana literally just thinks about what she wants (though being an apprentice it only works half the time) but when it works it looks like something as easy as breathing. I feel like ancient sorcerers like mages are more in tune with their magic and I don't feel they would need wands either. I agree with Cornflower27 from the original. Her wand seems like a tool for her to focus rather than something that has to be used to produce magick.


Chapter 16

America, Hawkin's Residence (Friday Evening-same Friday as chapter 15)
Mana awoke suddenly after dreaming of Egypt and Atem. She couldn't stand sitting idly by while he and the others were prisoners somewhere. She was infuriated that one of those people had hurt Atem. They would pay maybe not by her hands, she wasn't the strongest mage but they would pay. She paced the room while thinking.

Something was telling her she should go to them. She really wasn't sure at all how she could help if Shadi was having issues. She was an Ancient Egyptian spellcaster for Ra's sake surely one of the ancient spells she knew just had to work against this modern magic. Mana paced a bit more trying to figure out what to do. She really could use Mahad's advice right now. He would know what to do. She could go to Isis for help but she was not so sure the priestess would let her go to England.

Atem would not be happy with her especially with the last email telling her to do the exact opposite of what she was thinking about doing but she had to try. At least if she was caught she would be with the others and maybe keep their spirits up. They had been captives for a month now and she was not sure how well they were taking that, especially Atem. He was such a free spirit being imprisoned would not be good for him.

Mana made her decision. She quickly got dressed, grabbed her deck and packed a small bag. She crept out of the mansion quietly not wanting to alert anyone especially her adopted father Kaphiri and Kisara. She had a taxi take her to the nearest airport. A really long flight later Mana found herself in London, England.

London, England (Sunday)
Mana had found a hotel and now needed to figure out how to find the magical enclave. She knew finding the school would be difficult since it was warded so no one actually knew where it was at. All she knew was that it was somewhere in the Scottish decided to wander around the London area to see if she could sense anyone with magic or any magical areas. If it was anything like the Egyptian enclave there had to be some entrance to get to the magical enclave here. What she didn't realize was the fact that the British magicals were far more spread out across the land than the Medjai clans and magical Egyptians who basically had land in Egypt completely separate for them from the rest of the population.

Finally she had found something. She had almost given up on trying to get a feel for a magical spot but sensed something in the train station she was walking by. Mana followed the magic she felt and found where it was strongest but it was a brick wall which made no sense at all. Mana immediately began examining the wall trying to figure out its mystery.

Moody, Mundungus, and Doge were all searching for the missing Kaiba brat across the span of three different countries and having no luck. They had scoured Egypt and Japan. They were now focusing on England assuming the brat came here to look for his brother. Alastor was currently wandering around London near Kings Cross Station casting discreet tracking spells in hopes of maybe finding some clue of the missing Kaiba or the Ishtar's that had disappeared under Bill Weasley's watch. He assumed they had somehow broken the spells placed upon them and escaped though he was unsure how that was possible as far as he knew they were muggles. They really had no clue what happened to the Ishtars'.

He was about to give up and head back to give a report to Dumbledore when he saw a girl with long brown hair over by the entrance to platform 9 and ¾. She was studying the barrier intensely and pushing on the bricks as if she expected the hidden entrance to be there. He watched the girl curiously because she was dressed in muggle clothing but she was acting like she knew what was there or at least had an idea. He cautiously approached her.

"What are you doing?" Moody asked as he appeared behind her.

"Oh, you startled me." Mana said as she jumped and turned around when the gruff voice spoke. She took a look at the odd man and sensed magic. Finally someone who could help her, "I was um…It's just that I was hoping to get into the magical enclave but I am not sure how to do it."

Moody looked at the girl suspiciously, "What? You must not be from around here."

"No, I'm not. But I am visiting this lovely country for the first time ever and I wanted to see the enclave while I was here. You know do some shopping. Tour the area. That sort of thing." Mana lied nervously hoping the strange looking man could lead her to the boys.

"What is your name lass?" Moody asked while trying to place the accent.

"Mana Nkosi."

"Well, Miss Nkosi I can take you to Hogsmeade. It is an all wizarding village and it sits right outside England's most prestigious magical school." Moody answered growing more suspicious now since that seemed like a very Egyptian last name. The Ishtar boys were from Egypt he remembered.

"That would be totally awesome! I wonder if I could get a tour of the school. Is there an Inn I can stay at there?" Mana gushed in fake delight and excitement.

"Yes there is an inn you can stay at and the Headmaster is a personal friend of mine I am sure I could get a tour scheduled for you if you really want to see the school." Moody told the girl while wishing he was a Legilimens like Albus right at this moment. He was curious as to who this girl was and what she really wanted. He could tell she was lying to him but not sure what her motives were. Did she have some connection to the mages?

"Do you mind if I grab my stuff from my hotel?" Mana asked the odd looking man.

Moody agreed and walked alongside the bubbly girl to her hotel which turned out to be fairly close by. Once she retrieved her things he told her about side-along apparition and how it worked.

She grimaced at the mode of transportation once the man had described it to her but agreed nonetheless. She grabbed onto his arm tightly and closed her eyes as she felt like she was being squeezed through a tight rubber tube.

"Where did you attend school?" Moody asked curiously as he led her to the inn in Hogsmeade.

"I was actually homeschooled," Mana answered technically telling the truth since back in Egypt she lived in the palace and learned from her master Mahad and now from Shadi and the others.

"You have never had formal magical training?" Moody asked continuing his interrogation as subtly as possible.

"I suppose it wouldn't be considered formal training." Mana replied as she looked around the quiet magical village.

"Let me send the Headmaster a message real quick while you get settled in and I will see about when you can have that tour." Alastor said hoping the girl would go check in so he didn't have to code his message.

She quickly agreed and headed for the counter of the inn. He stepped outside and cast a patronus letting Dumbledore know about the mysterious girl with magic that suddenly appeared. Moody waited for a response knowing he would get one fairly quickly. He was not disappointed. Albus would be ready for them and he wanted the girl brought immediately.

Moody went into the inn and found the girl. "We are in luck lass the Headmaster has agreed to a tour as soon as we get you there."

"Oh wow! Thank you for your help. I am so excited." Mana gushed dramatically.

Mana tried to get the helpful man from escorting her but he was insistent. She had hoped he would just give her directions once they got close. But no he had to be a "gentleman" and escort her. They soon arrived at the castle and Moody led her in. Mana looked around in awe at the sight before her. She had to admit the castle was quite a sight to behold.

When they arrived in the office Dumbledore greeted her casually. He was alert under his facade not sure who this girl was. He had a bracelet ready just in case. "Welcome to Hogwarts. I am Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. I am told by my friend here that you would like a tour of the school."

"Yes sir. That would be amazing. I have never been to the United Kingdom and want to see everything there is to see." Mana lied really hoping the old man believed her. She was getting nervous because that other man had not left yet.

"Well we can certainly help with that. Albus stated serenely as he looked into the girls eyes and tried to catch her surface thoughts. What he saw was confusing and slightly insulting but it confirmed his suspicions; she knew the mages and was here for them.

Mana's mind was racing a mile a minute. She was thinking about ways to get away from the two old men if they became a problem, the hideous clothing the old man was wearing. Seriously how could anyone wear that and not be embarrassed of themselves? She was also thinking about Atem, all the crazy shiny objects in the office that peaked her curiosity, and praying what the old man was wearing was not what was fashionable here. She realized things were not going well when she felt the intrusion into her mind. She quickly tried to reinforce her shields around her mind but it was hard to concentrate so she tried a distraction. "So Umm…maybe you could show me the castle grounds first?" Mana said thinking quickly trying to think of a way she could disappear before she got herself caught.

"Hmm…yes but before we do that why don't you tell us why you are really here." Albus said while he stood from his chair looking far more intimidating than he had a few moments ago.

He was surprised that he was only able to get her surface thoughts. She like the mages had mental shields that he was not sure he could break through without a strong mental assault.

Mana began to slowly back up towards the door while Moody moved in quietly to grab her. She yelped as he grabbed for her and she quickly dodged around him and headed for the door. A rune like symbol appeared in a flash and Moody was polymorphed into a a moment Albus stood in shock staring at the sheep while she was able to slip away. She had just done advanced transfiguration without a wand. Albus came out of his stupor and turned Moody back into a man.

Mana headed down the flight of stairs hoping to find somewhere to hide from her pursuers. Moody and Albus quickly ran out of the office and were hot on her heals.

Albus finally got a stunner off but missed her completely as she dodged. Mana turned down a random hallway and conjured a Hozen Monkey Whistle. She blew it once and a monkey appeared.

"Wikky slow those old men down." Mana said hastily as she continued down the hallway.

"Bloody Hell where did that come from?" Moody exclaimed as a monkey came flying at the two throwing bananas at them.

The bananas must have been magical because even though Albus stepped over a few he proceeded to slip and fall. He was stunned at the sheer magical skill of this girl. Moody having suffered the same had finally had enough and banished the magical banana throwing monkey.

Albus stood up and called one of the house elves. "Tippy retrieve the intruder in the castle and bring her to the office."

Tippy popped away to where the portraits and armor said the girl was and startled the poor girl.

Mana figured she had lost the two old men when she could no longer hear footsteps. She slowed down a bit to try and see if she could find a way out of the castle that she was now lost in. It was odd she didn't see anyone at all. She assumed she should have run into some students by now. Mana had reached an intersection in the hallways and was about to head left when she sensed something behind her. She turned around slowly and saw a strange little elf looking creature. Mana squeaked startled at the odd looking creature.

"Young Miss needs to come back to the office with Tippy." The elf told the girl.

"I don't think so." Mana responded as she started to retreat from the odd creature.

Tippy sighed and put her palm up in the air and the girl collapsed immediately. Tippy took the unconscious girl's hand and teleported them directly to the office.

Albus immediately dismissed the house elf and put a bracelet on her wrist to bind her powers and keep her at Hogwarts. He added an extra spell to keep her wandless and runic magic under control. She was far too natural at it. Albus frowned. Nothing like that had been seen in over a thousand years. Albus enervated her and quickly forced her to swallow a sedation potion (think instant Xanax) to keep her compliant as he and Alastor walked her to the mages dorm.

Albus and Moody entered with the girl and the mages looked up from their studies with Snape and Lupin who decided they didn't need all day off since they had gotten Saturday free to work on the common room. Atem looked up suddenly at the entrance of the two wizards and was horrified by what he saw. They had Mana.

Atem's reaction was instantaneous and his eyes promised death. He immediately summoned and shot three shadowy purplish-black blades at the Headmaster who had to cast a shield to protect himself, but he was not quick enough to stop all three of them. One got him across the cheek and another cut his forearm through his robes. The third that was coming at his heart was unfortunately blocked and dissipated harmlessly against his shield.

Snape seeing the quick movement turned around to see what was going on and was surprised to see Moody and the Headmaster with a girl. Atem had already gotten to his feet and hurled something towards Dumbledore with murder in those amethyst eyes of his. Severus quickly responded before Moody could release the girl and retaliate.

"Incarcerous" he yelled as he made his way towards the pissed off teen giving him a warning glare which made the boy stop struggling.

Atem was pissed. Snape had stopped his second attack. He didn't care if he was already feeling the drain. He wanted to kill the old fool and his lackey.

Lupin looked over to Albus worriedly who was bleeding quite badly from his wounds. "Are you alright Headmaster?"

"I will be fine. Though I must admit I hadn't anticipated that strong of a reaction." Albus said conjuring a cloth to soak up some of the blood. He couldn't believe the boy had hit him not only once but twice before he was able to defend.

Severus turned his attention back to the Headmaster once he was sure the other mages wouldn't try and attack seeing as they had stood and taken defensive stances when Atem went down. Severus asked, "Headmaster, what is going on?"

"Ah, Severus my boy we seem to have a new guest. She will need supplies, a wand, and some clothing seeing as I do not know where from Egypt she came from." Albus told his potions master.

Severus nodded as he approached Moody to take the girl. She was barely conscious and leaning on him heavily so he picked her up carefully.

"What have you done to her?" Atem growled out aggressively while still glaring at the Headmaster and Moody.

"Nothing at all my dear boy. She is merely sedated and just needs some rest. She will be awake and alert by tomorrow morning," Albus assured sensing more power building up from the angry teen before him.

Albus had the castle create a bedroom for the girl across from the boys' room. "We will give her a week to adjust before she has to start classes. Now I suppose I should go get these cuts looked at." Albus said looking at the bound mage calculatingly before he and Moody left the room.

Remus released Atem once the other two had left hoping it was safe. Once Severus headed up the stairs to take the girl to her room Remus decided to go and see about supplies. Atem and the others silently trailed behind the potions master.

Severus checked Mana over to appease the young mage who was looking quite agitated and worried. "She will be fine. Please calm yourself."

A bit of relief washed over Atem who was kneeling holding Mana's hand. The others stayed silent not sure how to help their Pharaoh or Mana.

Remus soon broke the silence by returning with all the books she would need and the bag she had packed and left at the inn in Hogsmeade. "I don't suppose you will tell us where she is from to get her more clothes?" Remus asked hoping he might get an answer.

Atem hesitated a moment and thought about it. He could in theory send the werewolf to Upper Egypt. But his Medjai had a tendency to shoot first and ask questions later if a stranger entered their lands. He shook his head. He didn't want Lupin dead. "Not a chance!" Atem replied icily.

"Fine." Remus conjured a measuring tape to take her size and told everyone he would return with some clothing.

"Who is she?" Severus finally asked curious to Atem's violent reaction.

"My fiancée." Atem stated sharply still angry about her capture.

Severus sighed. Great this was all he needed. "Then I suppose one of those wands from the shadows is hers?" Severus asked.

Atem huffed but nodded dreading summoning from the Shadows. He was already feeling drained and weak. This would finish him for the night. Atem closed his eyes and concentrated on what he wanted. He grabbed the box and pulled her wand out and sent the others immediately back. Seto and Yugi were ready and there to catch Atem when he slumped from the summons. After that the mages went to their own room and Severus bid them a goodnight.
