AN: So here is part of the original chapter 9. Sorry I am moving slow on this part of the revision. This chapter had issues. I think I fixed some of it and yes I know I split it in a really bad spot but I did. Hopefully it's not too bad of a split. Next chapter will have the rest of 9 starting with breakfast.

James Birdsong: Thank you for reading my story.

I am glad people seem to be enjoying this newer version. Thanks again everyone for your continued support!

Things you need to know:

Valentine's Day could only find in S. Africa not Egypt I didn't see it on the banned list either but I don't think it's celebrated in Egypt.

I am married and have an amazing relationship with my husband but I don't particularly care for Valentine's Day and that probably shows in this. I never have and probably never will. Just letting you know.

Chapter 18

Riddle Manor (Still Thursday, January 22)
Voldemort paced his dark study while the others waited downstairs as he went over this evening's failure. He was very angry at the failure of his attack and the loss of his most loyal follower. That shadow mage would pay dearly once he got his hands on the boy. The two he saw during the battle had to be the ones he needed for the ritual he wanted performed. They were very powerful and the Malfoy heir had also mentioned those two and he seemed to think they lead their little group based on his descriptions.

Now he just had to get his hands on them. The other mages would be needed for him to extract their powers and give them to his loyal followers. He himself would take the power from the one who tried to kill him tonight. A new plan started to formulate in his head which would allow young Malfoy to exact some revenge without killing off the mage he needed. He smiled wickedly as he put his new plan on paper for Draco.

"Wormtail!" Voldemort yelled.

"Yes…My Lord…" Wormtail responded cowering at his lord's displeasure.

"Come here. I wish to call upon the others now!" Voldemort said impatiently as he grabbed his sniveling servant's arm and touched the dark mark upon the man's arm. Wormtail flinched in pain from the dark spell.

Voldemort's followers began to arrive and headed for the room that held Voldemort and the ones who participated in the attack on Hogwarts. Voldemort told his followers of Lucius Malfoy's soul being taken.

Narcissa was very upset at the loss of her husband. She was sure he would not return to the land of the living since the others that had lost their souls to the mages had not awoken yet.

"Severus deal with informing young Mr. Malfoy and make sure his part of these instructions are clear. I need those mages alive to perform the ritual." Voldemort ordered as he handed a letter to Severus to be delivered to Draco Malfoy. "And Severus make sure the Headmaster does not suspect any foul play for this one," Voldemort hissed out.

Severus took the letter and bowed low hiding his hatred with false submission, "As you wish my lord." Severus quickly moved back into the circle of death eaters relieved to be out from under the Dark Lord's scrutiny for a short while. The meeting continued without missing a beat.

"Rookwood what more can you tell me about the ritual spell in the Book of the Dead?" Voldemort asked.

Rookwood immediately stepped out of his spot in the circle and began explain what he had discovered to the Dark Lord hoping he would be pleased with what he had found.

"Well my Lord the spell that the High Priest needs to chant has been translated fully from the Hieroglyphs to Latin. The Pharaoh needs to channel his magick into the blood from the innocent that will be flowing through an infinity circle rune and the two ankh runes that we will have to create in the ritual room. We also need him to bless the runes with an ancient prayer that I have translated but I think it will be more potent if he does it in ancient Egyptian. There is one thing that I found that I had missed earlier in the ritual. We need a necklace of ancient Egyptian origin to sit in the center of the infinity rune. Once the empowered blood soaks fully into the necklace the one receiving the gift must put the necklace on and recite the chant of immortality." Rookwood explained.

"And what of the power extraction spell? Have you made any headway on the translation?" Voldemort asked feeling quite pleased that he would soon reach his goal of true immortality.

"Once the ritual has been completed you will be free to extract the mages powers. This ritual requires a full moon, a complicated potion, and a chant from the one who will receive the gift of shadow magick. I believe I am finished with the potion translation, and looks to take a while. I have also finished translating the chant that needs to be said." Rookwood finished explaining relieved that he had gotten everything done.

"Give the potion recipe to Severus. Severus I want this done as soon as possible!" Voldemort snapped annoyed that the potion could be a setback.

Severus looked at the potion and paled this was not an easy potion to brew. It had to be very exact or it would kill the person who ingested it with all the poisonous ingredients in it.

"Rookwood take a team to Egypt. Get me an ancient necklace." Voldemort said before dismissing his followers. "Severus, stay for a moment."

"Yes my lord?" Severus asked.

"The mages that fought the Dementors are they the ones I need for the ritual?" Voldemort asked.

"I believe so but there are two descendants of the nameless Pharaoh. Atem Ishtar whom you saw this evening and his cousin Yugi Motou," Severus said dreading being a spy at the moment but remaining impassive in front of the Dark Lord.

"Which of the two is more powerful?"

Severus continued to remain impassive while keeping his true feelings hidden behind his shields as he answered the Dark Lord's question, "The one that tried to kill you my lord."

"I need you to get at least the mages from this evening to one of the Hogsmeade weekends."

"My lord that could be difficult. Dumbledore won't let them off castle grounds. He used a hostage just to get the two mages to come out and fight you." Severus said so surprised he actually questioned the orders. How would he pull that off?

"Don't question me! Find a way to get them there. With their powers weakened by that fool Dumbledore we should be able to get them easily." Voldemort said starting to get a dangerous edge to his tone. He hated being questioned by his followers.

"I will try my lord." Severus said respectfully hoping his outburst didn't get him crucioed.

"Don't try. Just do it. Draco will lead them to a secluded location and I will station some of our younger Death Eaters around Hogsmeade to wait and collect them. Our younger recruits who have just graduated from Hogwarts within the last few years should be able to blend in better than the others." Voldemort said ending the conversation giving Snape a clear dismissal. Severus got back to Hogwarts and went straight to Dumbledore's office. Even though it was late he knew the old man was waiting for him.

Elsewhere in Riddle Manor
Narcissa left the meeting completely distraught over what had been discovered about Lucius. She would have to do some damage control when the media found out he was at Hogwarts when the attack happened. She was also very worried for her son. While she was honored that the man thought Draco deserved to get some revenge and that he had been given a mission at such a young age she did not want him going up against these dangerous mages. She hoped he only played a small part in their capture.

As she was heading towards the apparition point she saw Lord Nott and decided to speak with him about his son seeing as Draco had given her and Lucius some disturbing news in one of his letters home.

"Lord Nott, might I have a word with you?" Narcissa said gaining the lord's attention.

Nott inclined his head. "Of course."

"Draco sent a letter home about your son with some concerning news. He has been seen associating with the mages our lord wants. I assume this means you have not told him of whom they are and how dangerous they are." Narcissa said shuddering at what one of those mages had done to her husband.

"Thank you Lady Malfoy. I will address this matter with my son." Nott stated as he paled at the news. He was not sure how he felt about his son befriending the one who was able to take out Lucius Malfoy. On the other hand it could be useful in information gathering for his lord.

The two walked silently to the apparition point and said their goodbyes. When Nott arrived home he immediately sent his fastest owl with a letter explaining who the mages were and warning him about the one who took out the elder Malfoy. He wondered why the Malfoy heir had not told his son but perhaps he didn't because they were not what one would call close friends.

Hogwarts, Headmaster's office
Severus told Dumbledore everything except the part about Hogsmeade. He had no idea how to pull that off, still protect his charges, and keep both his masters happy. He had a few weeks to figure things out too. After his meeting Severus went down to his rooms and had a strong drink. It had been a long day.

Friday
The next morning Severus summoned Draco first thing. Draco arrived to his godfather's office before breakfast. He was curious as to what he wanted. He knocked on the door and waited for acknowledgement. When he entered the office he noticed a letter in his professor's hands and the grim look on his face.

Severus sat in his desk chair with his back stiffened and looked Draco directly in the eyes, "As I am sure you are aware last night the Dark Lord attacked the school in an attempt to capture the mages. An attempt was made on the Dark Lord's life by one of the mages but the spell was diverted somehow and hit your father instead. He did not die but…his soul is gone. He is being kept alive in hopes that we may somehow recover his soul."

Draco was in shock to say the least. He couldn't believe it. His father could not be gone. He paced as he let the information Snape told him sink in. He stilled for a moment clenching his fists and his grey eyes darkened while his lips curled in a snarl, "Who did this to him?"

"Seeking revenge is not an option right now," Severus warned. "The Dark Lord has a mission for you and does not want you distracted is that understood." Severus said harshly with his penetrating glare to get the seriousness of the situation across to the boy.

Draco glared back but took the sealed envelope from his godfather knowing he didn't have an option with the Dark Lord involved. He would have to follow orders before he could get his revenge. Draco quickly opened it and read his instructions.

Draco,

Once Severus gets the mages to Hogsmeade it will be your job to lure the Pharaoh's descendent, Atem Ishtar, and the one that is a descendent to the high priest, Seto Kaiba, alone and unharmed to a secluded area. They have the blood ties and power I need. I will attain the other three mages either then or at a later date. My followers will be waiting for you to signal them and they will find you and portkey the mages to me. They will be stationed throughout Hogsmeade with orders to target any of the other mages as discretely as possible until you give your signal. You must not be seen. You will not seek revenge for your father until I no longer need the mages.

Draco glared at the letter. He wanted revenge but he understood why he had to wait. Though it didn't help his mood any. Maybe some non-permanent damage would be acceptable.

"If you should need any help contact me and I will make sure to be around. I will let you know when I have convinced the old fool to let them go to Hogsmeade" Severus said to the glaring teen.

"I don't need your help. I can do it without you just get them there." Draco sneered haughtily.

Severus narrowed his eyes and sneered at the obstinate teen, "Fine I will see you in class." Severus sighed as the Malfoy heir left his office getting another headache already. He did not want to see Draco follow this path but it seemed like it might be too late for the boy.

Severus left his office and stalked angrily to the mages dorm next. This was not going to go well at all. The mages were just coming down from their room as Severus entered. "Sit we need to talk."

The mages hesitated at their captor's cold order and then chose to glare defiantly. Severus sighed and tried to control his agitation. After a few moments of glaring at each other the mages finally acquiesced and sat on the comfy couches.

Severus glared at them for a moment more and then tore into Seto and Atem. "You foolish boys what were you thinking?! You dared attack the Dark Lord! Do you even have an inkling of how powerful that monster is or any idea of what you have done?!" Severus took angry steps towards his foolish charges while he ranted.

"What does it matter Snape? The old fool threw my attack off." Atem defended himself and his priest not really understanding what the big deal was.

Severus' temper flared and he clenched his jaw in frustration then he snapped at the Ishtar boy, "The big deal Mr. Ishtar is that now Dumbledore will want to know more about you six, the Dark Lord now knows which of you two he needs for a ritual, and to top that off you took Lucius Malfoy's soul! How do you expect me to keep you safe if you turn all of Slytherin against you?"

"It's not like we are going to spill our secrets to anyone any time soon." Kaiba snapped annoyed with the man's attitude towards them.

"He may not give you a choice. There is always a way to get what you want." Severus snapped back glaring at the young CEO.

"We can protect ourselves." Bakura argued back.

"Right, with your actual powers so diminished." Severus said snorting derisively.

"Wait a sec. Did you say ritual?" Yugi asked interrupting the strange argument.

The mages stopped and stared expectantly at Snape.

Severus sighed wearily and sat down across from the mages. "The Dark Lord stole a book from Egypt back in October. I believe it is called the Book of the Dead."

Marik and Atem paled at the name of that book.

"There is a ritual that the Dark Lord wants to perform but it requires a High Priest and Pharaoh or their descendants."

Atem looked at Severus darkly and asked, "In what capacity?"

"He needs Mr. Kaiba here to chant a spell and you to give some ancient blessing and empower the ritual. Through this ritual he plans to gain immortality. Once he is finished with you two he plans on stripping you of your shadow magick by making you consume a potion that the Dark Lord is having me brew." Severus answered.

The immortality ritual might be a temporary issue but at least we don't have to worry about the second part at all." Marik smirked confidently.

The others nodded in agreement knowing the contents of the book of the Dead well enough.

"What are you talking about? If the Dark Lord gets those two it will happen. He will become immortal and they will lose their magic" Severus said in exasperation.

"Oh sure your dark lord would become an ageless immortal but those types of immortals can be killed it's just harder and the way of killing him has to be a bit extreme. Besides that's what beheading is for. And if you can't stomach a beheading I suppose we could use the Book of Amun Ra to undo the ritual. And, trust us the power extraction spell from the Book of the Dead will not work on the Phar…er Atem's shadow magick or any of us for that matter." Marik said confidently enjoying the baffled look on their dark captors face.

Severus rolled his eyes at the arrogance of the mages. "And how pray tell can you be so sure of that?"

"There are only two ways to attain shadow magick and they are not mentioned in the Book of the Dead I can assure you. He has the wrong book if he wants shadow magick" Marik told Snape arrogantly.

"Marik you have said too much." Bakura stated cutting the tomb keeper off before he told Snape about the Millennium Spell Book and the ancient scriptures that he had studied his whole life. "We can trust no one with this information especially you since you answer to two masters."

"Sorry Snape. Our secrets are dangerous and cannot be revealed to anyone." Atem said agreeing with Bakura.

"Fine, for your sakes I hope you are right," Severus replied. "There is one other problem. The Dark Lord wishes for me to get at the very least Atem and Kaiba to Hogsmeade for some trap he has planned. "I don't know how I am going to convince Dumbledore into letting you all go let alone how to protect you once you are there." Severus said frustrated.

The mages frowned at this news. "Looks like Voldierot is getting impatient and wants us to come out and play." Bakura stated.

Seto sat forward a bit on the couch with a serious expression on his face while looking at Snape. "That could be potentially disastrous for us. We don't know enough about modern magic to protect ourselves using it and we can't use our magick."

"How long until the next Hogsmeade weekend?" Mana asked with a worried look on her face.

"As of today about three weeks. The next trip is Valentine's day weekend."

"Well that doesn't give us much time to learn much defense especially with us behind and that awful Umbridge woman." Yugi stated while nervously biting his lips.

"We really should do something about her." Bakura said smirking manically.

"What is Valentine's day?" Mana asked curiously not having heard of that holiday in her lessons with Samira on the modern world. Though she had to admit she still had a lot to learn about the modern world.

Severus just put his head in his hands. It was way too early in the morning for this. He looked up to answer the question and saw a pale looking Atem shaking his head discreetly with pleading eyes.

Severus smirked evilly. "It is a muggle holiday that has been embraced by English witches and wizards since about the 14th century. It is a festival of romantic love and many people give cards, letters, flowers, chocolates, or presents to their significant other. Basically it's a wonderful holiday for girls to get their boyfriends, fiancées, or husbands to show them how much they are loved by getting them to do whatever you want for the day."

"Oh Atem doesn't that sound like a wonderful holiday. Why don't we have that in Egypt? We should introduce this holiday to the clans!" Mana exclaimed excitedly.

Atem just looked stricken at the mere idea. The others were snickering softly at their Pharaoh's expense earning death glares from him. "Let's discuss this later, Mana." Atem said pleadingly.

"Oh fine. But if it turns out to be a great holiday we will talk about this again." Mana said smiling sweetly at the Pharaoh.

Atem then turned his attention back to Severus who was now on the receiving end of his glares. Severus was just amused by the entire situation. The teens packed their backpacks after that and got ready to head to breakfast.
