AN: This is still part of original chapter 9 and chapter 11.
I am sorry this took longer than the other revisions. This wasn't even the hardest chapter to revise. I don't even feel like there are that many changes to this part of the story. There are some but not enough for it to take as long as it did. I have no good excuses.
Thank you to everyone still reading this story. I will try to get the next one out sooner. I doubt there will be much change to the detention. So I will get that out asap.
Since I cannot respond with messages. Thank you James Birdsong, Atem, and my unknown guest for showing your support.

Chapter 21
Original Chapter9/11
Mana's First Day
Monday January 26th, Mages Common Room
Monday morning came all too soon for the mages after all the excitement of the weekend. The teens quietly chatted amongst themselves waiting for their captors to let them out.
Mana was dreading the day full of classes she truly had no interest in attending. Though she did look forward to seeing the hijinks the two insane priests were capable of.
While they were alone for a bit longer Atem decided they should talk about what was revealed to Seto and him the night of the attack since they hadn't had much time to actually discuss it over the weekend.
"We need to discuss what Dumbledore told us about the night of the attack," whispered Atem while watching the door carefully making sure their captors didn't walk in on them.
"What did he tell you guys?" Ryou asked quietly.
"Basically that we will be here for a while unless we help these fools out. Vodly seems to have found a way to gain some form of immortality." Seto explained in a quiet voice.
"We don't know what that entails exactly because the old fool refused to give us any answers but we do know the old man thinks that some objects of some sort are what is granting this immortality." Atem added frowning while thinking what objects could possibly be keeping the Dark Lord semi-mortal.
"Oh that's just great we will be stuck here indefinitely." Marik stated.
"Samira will figure out something is wrong before then if we do not return this summer to take the throne." Atem observed.
"She would definitely intervene. That could be bad for this magical enclave." Yugi acknowledged not sure how he felt about joining in a war that they were trying to avoid.
"What do you suppose these objects are?" Mana asked getting back on track not wanting to think about the possibility of a war between two magical worlds with a mix of non-magical on Egypt's side.
"The old fool didn't say. Though, I got the feeling that he knows more than he is letting on about these items and how they keep Voldy alive." Seto told the group.
"Hmmm…I wonder if Dumbles has told Harry any of this information. I mean Harry is supposedly his pawn to kill off Voldy right?" Marik asked aloud contemplating what Harry had told them about himself and Voldemort.
So what is the connection? How can a 15 year old boy kill off someone who is almost immortal?" Ryou said wonderingly.
"It seems we need to talk to Harry and find out if he knows about these items and find out what exactly they are and how they can be destroyed." Atem told his priests hoping the boy new something.
"So are we going to get involved in this enclave's issues?" Mana asked the pharaoh.
Atem sighed. "I don't know yet. I certainly do not want to help the old fool except to an early grave. But this enclave seems to be a disease that needs to be eradicated. The more I learn about this place and its people the more disgusted I am."
"Atem…you're not serious are you. What about all the innocents here?" Yugi protested not liking where the Pharaoh's thoughts were taking him.
"It would serve them right. From what I can tell this whole magical world is corrupt. Its government is denying the return of a madman; a madman is running around with little opposition, the "good" guys will sacrifice anyone to kill the madman. These people are all crazy." Seto ranted defending Atem and his line of thinking while sounding every bit like the person he used to be before he regained his Egyptian memories.
"Don't worry Yugi. I don't want the innocents hurt and I do not really want to get involved. But I cannot say for sure that we will be staying out of this war. They may force our hand. But if we do get involved it will be under our own terms and Egypt will be gaining new territory. I will not allow these people to continue on the destructive path they are on now." Atem told his most innocent of priests understanding Yugi wanting no violence just peace. But this war would happen with or without them.
Atem wished he could say they would not get involved with this war but he no longer knew the answer. In the end he knew whatever happened he would base his decision on what was best for his people. It was his duty to protect the people of Egypt first and foremost.
Severus and Lupin interrupted their conversation as they entered the common room telling the mages it was time to go down for breakfast.
"We will discuss this later." Atem ordered quietly as they got up and began to follow Snape.
Breakfast was a quiet affair. Everyone was sitting at the Gryffindor table avoiding the angry Slytherin students. The mages caught the golden trio up on the happenings of the weekend since they hadn't been around much. They told everyone about what happened in the Slytherin dorms but not why Atem and Theo were there. They didn't mention the interrogation that occurred on Sunday. They didn't want anyone overhearing that piece of information accidently.
Potions
Breakfast had finally ended and while everyone left the Great Hall to head to class Bakura and Marik snuck back to the dorms to get their potions.
"You know this little stunt could get us into some trouble." Marik told the Tomb Robber.
"Unfortunately this potion is relatively harmless though I don't want it to hit us. Yuk twenty-four hours of that would not be fun but it suits our two targets and soon we will get them all." Bakura said manically.
Bakura laughed all the way to potions class, "This will be entertainment at its finest."
Marik smirked and thought of their plans of revenge. "Snape is going to kill us."
"He's just lucky the potion isn't permanent. And wait till he figures out that this is only the beginning of what could become an epidemic" Bakura said.
The insane mages made it to class barely on time and sat at the table Crabbe and Goyle just happened to be sitting at. The two Slytherin boys scowled at the two transfer students.
The Slytherin students were tense and angry still from the weekend's events and glared at the two mages who dared to sit with two of their own along with hints of fear for their fellow Slytherins. It just had to be the two crazy ones.
The trio looked at the two mages in confusion why would they willingly sit next to Crabbe and Goyle especially after what had happened over the weekend. Hermione just hoped whatever they had planned didn't affect the whole class.
Severus stalked in like he normally did and yet again dreading this class. He had no idea if he could get Ishtar and Bakura to not blow something up today. With this potion he hoped they listened. A botched potion of the Drought of Peace could be dangerous. What he didn't know was that they had plans of their own.
He saw that Bakura and Marik were in one of their moods which was understandable after the Slytherins stunt over the weekend. The seating arrangement was a bit odd to say the least. Bakura and Marik sat at the center table with two of the four Slytherin students and the other mages seemed to be sitting as far from them as possible. Something was up but he had no idea what it could be. He glared at them for good measure and proceeded to explain the potion they were going to make. He put the instructions on the board while making it very clear how dangerous this potion was and hoped for the best.
Surprisingly class was going smoothly. Everyone was quietly working on their potions. Severus let out a small sigh of relief as he walked around the tables of students. Unfortunately the peace didn't last long but surprisingly it wasn't the crazy ones.
Mana had somehow managed to mix up the order of ingredients and blew up her cauldron and the cauldron next to her. Snape reacted quickly by banishing the liquid before it touched any students. He then turned to yell at the girl but immediately backed off when he looked at Atem whose eyes glittered dangerously. He couldn't decide who was more dangerous the crazy white haired mage or the over protective descendant of a pharaoh.
"Mr. Ishtar please help Miss Nkosi with the potion." Severus ground out as patiently as he could. Oh how Severus longed for the days when it was just Longbottom screwing up potions.
His 5th year students were yet again in shock. Snape being lenient was unheard of and yet these transfer students got away with everything. Draco watched in disgust. He hated watching his godfather catering to the mages for the sake of keeping up appearances for Dumbledore.
Marik and Bakura took advantage of Snape's distraction. Bakura smiled evilly. Marik banished their cauldrons and the Slytherins Cauldrons. They didn't want to risk the potions intermixing. Then Bakura 'accidently made' the potion they had brought to class spray right into Crabbe and Goyle's faces.
Severus heard a commotion and quickly went to the psychotic mages, just knowing it was them, and gaped openly at what he saw and heard. Where Crabbe and Goyle used to be sitting were two large pink pigs, as pink as the British Lop breed. They were squealing at each other loudly while all the students were staring open mouthed at what had just happened. While Bakura and Marik stood there attempting to look innocent. Then chaos ensued.
"How the bloody hell did this happen?" Snape yelled so royally pissed off his face was turning red.
"Our potions accidently exploded." Marik said grinning manically.
"MMM…..Bacon." Bakura commented looking at the two pigs like a psychopath so much so that Severus was almost distracted by how disturbed the teen looked. Severus was about to respond but the two Slytherin pigs started running all over the classroom after Bakura's statement.
Severus quickly banished the potions and attempted to stun the pigs runningamuck. The students started running away from the two freaked out squealing pigs. Chairs were hitting the floor and the room became an absolute disaster zone. Severus finally managed to subdue the pigs with a stunning spell.
Marik and Bakura cringed a bit at seeing Snape cast magic at the two pigs.
"Malfoy! Parkinson! Take your classmates to the infirmary and explain what happened. The rest of you OUT! Now! Bakura, Ishtar come here now!" Severus ordered while inwardly seething at the two mages.
Malfoy smirked as he and Pansy floated Crabbe and Goyle out of the room. Finally those arrogant mages would get into some trouble. Draco thought vindictively.
All the students left the classroom practically running from their ticked off professor. The Golden Trio shuffled out the most reluctant and stayed outside the door. They hoped to hear what was going on. The rest of the mages stayed in the room refusing to leave.
[Way to go Tomb Robber. Atem said while laughing through their link.]
[Well, well the Pharaoh has a sense of humor after all. I do hope the show amused you your highness. I hope you enjoy the encore as well. Bakura said smirking]
[After what they did. How could I not be amused? Atem countered.]
[Now to deal with Snape. Marik added to the conversation wondering how long until the real fun started.]
[He sure is angry with you two. Yugi said slightly unnerved by how angry the potions professor was]
"What the hell were you two thinking? How did you even pull that off? I know that is not a side effect of the Drought of Peace. How long will they stay like that?" Severus asked in a series of quickly yelled questions at the two mages not even realizing they were using their links.
"Chill out Snape it only lasts 24 hours with unfortunately few ill effects. It was a completely different potion." Bakura answered while smirking wickedly.
"As for what we were thinking was revenge and that we are tired of playing nice." Marik said evilly. Snape stepped towards Marik about to grab the boy and throttle him or at least shake some sense into him when he looked over to the other mages still in the room. The glint he saw in their eyes promised death if he so much as touched the other two.
Severus backed off a bit. "Your pranks had better continue to be harmless. But why don't you find a way to not disrupt my classroom! And do you really think making Malfoy and his friends hate you even more is the path to take?" Severus ranted. "You had better pray to your gods that Dumbledore lets this go. It will not escape his notice." Severus added now slightly worried at what the Headmaster might do to them even if it was in retaliation. "Get to your next class I have to go explain this mess and try not to cause any more trouble."
"That was bloody brilliant!" Ron exclaimed as soon as the mages came out of potions.
The terrible twin pyros smirked wickedly enjoying the praise for their little prank.
"Wait until you see the second half of this prank." Marik told the red head in a conspiratorial voice.
"Wait there is more to it? Harry asked looking at the two crazy mages.
The mages just smirked refusing to give any more details and headed for their next class. Hermione looked worried but kept her thoughts to herself. What more could they possibly do? Madame Pomfrey would probably have the potion reversed in no time.
[So is operation "Make Umbridge Useful" still on our agenda? Atem asked the others mentally not wanting Hermione to grow even more suspicious of them.]
[Definitely. I cannot stand another minute of her class without something to do. Marik whined.]
[Don't worry I will make her useful besides I need more practice using the rod. Seto stated as they walked into the classroom.]
[Actually High Priest let's try a spell from that book the twins loaned us. Ryou suggested wanting to get in on some of the pranking since Bakura always got to have all the fun.]
[What did you have in mind? Seto asked surprised that Ryou would suggest something.]
[Tomb Robber I think you are corrupting Ryou. Atem said with amusement in his voice]
[Hey this was all his idea! I blame the twins and that book. He has read it just as much as me and understands it far better than me. Defended the Tomb robber though, he was very proud that his descendant was finally taking after him even just a bit.]
[I need shiny objects around the room. Can anyone transfigure a bunch of items?]
[I can. Seto offered wondering where this was going]
Dumbledore's Office
Severus approached Dumbledore's office with trepidation. He was unsure how the headmaster would react to the mages behavior but this stunt gave him and idea. As he entered the office the Headmaster greeted him.
"Ah Severus my boy, to what do I owe this visit?" Dumbledore asked with a twinkle in his eye.
"I presumed that I should come speak with you about today's potion incident." Severus said.
"Ah, yes that was quite a brilliant prank done by young Mr. Ishtar and Bakura. Do not worry Severus the two mages are not in trouble and the two Slytherin boys will be fine."
"I am concerned though Headmaster. This prank was harmless but I don't know if it will continue to stay that way. They are getting fidgety and need an outlet. I was thinking that maybe we could allow them to go to Hogsmeade with the rest of the students in February. They are starting to become more willing to study our magic. They are seeing the need since their magic is so limited at the moment but they are still teenagers and need something active to do. I feel like a change of scenery would be good for them." Severus hoped his reasoning was enough to get the old man to agree to what he was asking for.
Albus contemplated what Severus was saying. While Severus had valid points he was unsure how safe it would be to let the mages go. He could easily extend the spell he used on the bracers to allow them into Hogsmeade without worry of them escaping but what if there was an attack. They would be virtually defenseless. "I will have to think about it. I am not sure they would be safe. Give me some time to contemplate ways to keep them safe if they did go and I will decide then."
Severus couldn't ask for more. He bid the Headmaster a good day and headed back down to his classroom. He hoped the mages stayed out of trouble for the rest of the day.
DADA
The mages quickly entered the classroom and Seto transfigured anything he could find into something shiny as requested. He was curious as to what Ryou had up his sleeve.
Once all the students had arrived Umbridge came into the room and headed towards the front of the room. When she passed Ryou he quickly cast obsidere de crus obiectis. The effect was instantaneous. Umbridge immediately diverted from her original path and went towards a little statue that was shiny. She suddenly started babbling to herself while cradling the object like an infant.
We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. It came to me, my own, my love... my... preciousssss. My Precious. My Precious. So bright... so beautiful... our precious.
Umbridge wandered around the room collecting all the shiny objects available. The students started laughing hysterically at their teacher's antics not having a clue what was going on. The mages snickered. Hermione looked at the mages suspiciously.
Malfoy glared hatefully at the mages. He just knew it had to be them causing more chaos after their stunt in potions. While he didn't understand the context he had to admit this little prank of theirs was amusing.
"What did you do to her?" Hermione whispered to Atem.
"It's just a charm. It will wear off eventually." Hermione fumed a bit but couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
Umbridge noticed her students and reality set in for a moment. "Silence! I demand order in this classroom…then another shiny object caught her eye and she continued on with her babbling.
We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. It came to me, my own, my love... my... preciousssss. My Precious. My Precious. So bright... so beautiful... our precious.
"That's it! The whole class has detention with me tonight if someone does not come forward and tell me who did this." She screamed in another moment of clarity. Then another object distracted her.
Draco smirked. A little bit of revenge was presented on a silver platter. He raised his hand and got Umbridge's attention in another moment of sanity. "Professor I believe it was one of the transfer students who did this to you."
"Which of you did this to me?" She screamed angrily.
"We did nothing to you. Malfoy just dislikes us." Ryou argued.
"That's it DETENTION! All 6 of you! Class Dismissed!" Dolores said as she stormed out of the classroom babbling: We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. It came to me, my own, my love... my... preciousssss. My Precious. My Precious. So bright... so beautiful... our precious.
The mages left the classroom with smirks on their faces. The Golden trio and Daphne, Tracey, and Theo followed the mages out.
"You guys are not gonna like her detentions. She uses a blood quill." Harry told his new friends as they headed for the Great Hall.
"What makes you think we would actually attend her silly detention?" Atem asked.
"But…You have to. It would only make things worse for you if you didn't." Daphne exclaimed. She knew that Umbridge was dangerous all of Slytherin knew to stay under her radar.
"Daphne is right. You can't just skip a detention with her!" Hermione exclaimed.
All the teens sat down waiting for lunch, since they were early, still discussing the detention or arguing about it. They eventually gave up trying to convince their friends to attend the detention and changed topics.
Finally more students began arriving for lunch and Harry's attention suddenly shifted when Ginny came and sat down next to him. They started up their own conversation with Ginny giggling every once in a while. Hermione soon noticed and got a slightly hurt expression on her face but quickly schooled her features while Ron hid a smirk behind a mouthful of food. The mages were also a bit confused at the interaction. As far as they knew Harry held no affection for the younger Weasley. Though, the mages were grateful that the attention was now off of them. Everyone chatted amicably until a livid Snape stormed up behind them.
During lunch Umbridge informed Snape of the transfers' behavior in class and of their punishment. He smoothly talked Umbridge out of making the girl attend a detention with the argument that this was her first official day and could not have performed a spell of that caliber. He was relieved when she agreed with him and let the girl off. He did not want to even think of how Atem would react to Umbrige's punishments if it was inflicted upon her.
He then scowled in the general direction of where the mages were sitting and having lunch. He quickly left to go speak with his charges. He stormed down the Great Hall and stopped at the end of the Gryffindor table. The mages looked at the angry face of their captor.
"A word...Now!" Snape said shortly while he turned and started walking off not even bothering to make sure they were behind him. The mages quickly got up and followed the angry man quietly.
[I think he is angry with us. Bakura snickered in everyone's head]
[I feel like all we do is get yelled at by him lately. Marik complained]
[Well we do kinda deserve it. I mean if we were in a normal situation and pulled the crap we pull we probably would have a year's worth of detentions or even have been expelled by now. Yugi said.]
[But, that prank was well worth it. Everyone got a laugh out of it. Ryou said somewhat gleefully at the success of his prank]
[Too bad we cannot get Umbridge to expel us. That would force Dumbledore's hand. Atem said mulling the idea over in his head.]
Severus led the quiet teens down to his office. When the door shut he laid into them. "What in the hell were you thinking! Are you all insane? Umbridge is not someone to mess with. She has her own agenda and works for the Ministry of Magic!"
"We do not fear that foul woman." Marik stated.
"You know we care not of your schools punishments for our actions" Atem added in haughtily.
"What is the worst she can do? Expel us? That would be doing us a favor." Seto said just as coldly as Snape himself.
"You do not understand. She is a ministry official. If she finds out about you and that you practice dark magic Dumbledore will be the least of your worries. The Ministry will take you into custody and give you a Dementor's kiss. Dark magic is illegal in our world and Minister Fudge would love nicely wrapped sacrifices to show everyone how great a minister he is." Severus lectured.
"We are not evil!" Yugi argued.
"What is wrong with you people? Life is not as black and white as that!" Bakura said while taking over for a bit.
"The ministry does not care about that only what they deem as right and wrong matters." Severus answered back snidely and continued lecturing. "Even if she did not discover the truth expulsion will not get you out of here and if you think otherwise you are fools. Dumbledore believes you are the key to the war. He will hide you away in the dungeons or take you to some remote spot that no one knows about. How will your protector save you then if Dumbledore hides you away somewhere else?"
The mages glared at their captor. "This world is so corrupt it's unbelievable your society has not already crumbled under its own ignorance." Atem ranted almost sounding like a spoiled pouting child who had no more arguments.
"While I do not disagree; you will attend that detention and you will take whatever punishment she throws at you which I can promise will not be pleasant. She likes torture methods to get her point across." Snape ordered.
The mages paled considerably at that statement. Atem glared while taking a more aggressive posture and was about to speak once more but Snape interrupted. "You need not worry about Miss Nkosi. I managed to talk Umbridge out of making her attend the detention." Severus said watching his charge carefully hoping he would not attack.
Atem nodded to Snape in acknowledgement and relaxed a bit. "Fine we will attend this detention"
"This will not stop us from our extra-curricular activities." Bakura smirked evilly thinking about what was soon going to happen to Snape for using magic during the potions prank.
"I am sure it won't. But try not to get caught next time." Severus said dryly.
Great Hall…
"What do you suppose that was about?" Ron asked curiously and being unobservant as usual.
"Well obviously their detention with Professor Umbridge. Didn't you see her speak to Professor Snape just before the came back here." Theo told the red head snidely.
"Snape will make them attend the detention I bet you anything." Harry replied joining in on the conversation.
"I hope so. They don't seem to realize just how much trouble she could cause for them." Hermione said worriedly.
"It's too bad they got caught in the first place. That spell was bloody brilliant!" Ron exclaimed ignoring Theo's rude comment.
"Yea it was funny. Who knew they would find a spell that was based off Lord of the Rings." Harry said laughing with Ron.
"What's Lord of the Rings?" Ron asked suddenly confused.
"It's a movie in the muggle world." Tracey answered not really shocked at Ron's ignorance of the muggle world.
"What's a movie?" Ron asked again confused by the terminology.
"Never mind Ron. It would be hard to explain." Hermione stated exasperated at Ron's cluelessness about the outside world.
Ron shrugged and started eating again. "So did you find anything on the transfer students' different magic while Ginny and I were at practice the other day?" he said a bit more quietly hoping the Slytherin teens didn't hear who were thankfully chatting with the twins and their friends.
"Not much Ron. Egyptians practice the same type of magic as we do. The only other Egyptian magic that I could find mentioned is the countries ancient magicks. They might know the ancient magicks. Atem wasn't very forthcoming in the library the other day. You know you could help Harry and I research other magicks once in a while and maybe we would have some answers." Hermione whispered back irritably not entirely sure herself about the transfers and their magicks or how trustworthy they really were.
"Well if its ancient stuff why don't we just write my brother Bill. He knows all about ancient Egypt." Ron said.
"Why didn't I think of that," Hermione exclaimed while startling Harry, Ron and the others at her exclamation. "I will write your brother later today." She said more quietly hoping to find many answers to the strange teens.
Theo looked at the trio with a bit of suspicion after Hermione's random exclamation but he hadn't heard the rest of the conversation. Lunch soon ended and everyone headed to their next class.
The rest of the day went smoothly, well almost… Somehow Draco, Pansy, Snape, and Madam Pomfrey had also turned into cute little pigs by dinner time. This created even more chaos. Spells went flying to try and carefully subdue the newly turned pigs. Everyone was beyond confused since the transfers were sitting quietly eating their dinners. Marik and 'Ryou' just smirked and kept eating. Who knew a communicable potion could be this entertaining.
When the mages returned to their dorm they found an ambitious werewolf who seemed determined to tutor them until it was time for their detention. The mages were not thrilled to say the least but there was little they could do about it. So they studied under Remus's watchful eye until their detention with Umbridge.
