Chapter 22
Original Chapter 12

Detention with Umbridge…
Lupin finally finished their tutoring so the mages headed out to go to their detention but not before Bakura grabbed some materials. The mages slowly trudged down the darkened hallway as they headed to their detention with Umbridge.

"Bakura do you understand what to do with the materials?" Yugi asked shaking his hands nervously while wondering if the ancient spirit could handle modern devices.

He felt if this "prank," (well not really a prank… this was more like lets blow stuff up and see how annoying and destructive we can get), was messed up they would all be visiting the afterlife far earlier than planned.

"Oh ye of little faith. Seriously, how hard can it be? Stick the clay like stuff to the wall use the deto thing and boom" Bakura said excitedly, walking with a confident stride and a smirk that guaranteed trouble, while thinking of the glorious destruction he could cause all over the castle with the random materials Marik and he had requested from Dobby. He was dying to show these mortals what it means to keep him and his friends cooped up.

"Let's go over this one more time. You only use a tiny bit of the clay substance no more than a handful or else you might take the whole wall out. We just want to shake the walls, maybe crack it a bit, but not bring the whole wall down. And don't forget to curve it so the pressure wave goes inward" Ryou explained patiently if not slightly exasperated to the tomb robber.

"Yeah, yeah. I got it. Weigh the clay stuff. Bend it. Attach the deto thing. Move away and push the button and it goes boom." Bakura said frustrated that no one thought he could handle modern devices.

"Detonator," Yugi said in a tone that clearly stated he didn't think Bakura could pull this off as they continued walking towards the wretched woman's office.

Bakura split off into his solid form which felt wonderful to the spirit slowly turning mortal. He felt so cooped being in Ryou's body or in the ring. It felt good to have a body of his own even if it was temporary but he was growing stronger and could stay out longer if the damn wizards would ever leave them alone long enough for him to stretch his legs. The problem with his solid body was that the spells on the bracer seemed to transfer onto him just like the matching clothes. He took the materials Marik had gotten a hold of when the mages reached Umbridge's office and hid in the shadows.

Seto knocked on the door and the mages waited until she spoke. They entered the office and looked around. The mages tried to hide their disgust, except for Seto who just stared at the room disdainfully. The room was quite pink. The walls were covered top to bottom with little kitten decorative plates. The window was covered with lacy pink and white curtains. Even the carpet was pink with white paisley swirls. Dolores looked up from her paperwork and eyed the foreigners smugly. Finally she was sure she had caught whoever had been causing so much mayhem with all the recent pranks going on. All she needed was a confession.

"Please have a seat and some tea. Let's have a little chat before we start this detention." Dolores said in a sickly sweet voice that would make anyone cringe at the obvious fakeness.

The mages hesitantly sat down not sure what to expect.

[I am guessing we should not drink the tea. Seto stated staring at the tea in contemplation]

[Tomb Keeper, can you get into her mind without tipping her off? Atem asked.]

[Of course. She is a weak minded creature to be so easily influenced by the rod.]

Marik concentrated on the eye while nonchalantly bushing fingers over it. He sifted through her surface thoughts with ease and without her even noticing. He was done in a matter of seconds.

[Don't drink the tea it has truth serum in it! Just pretend to drink it.]

The mages quickly came back to reality and slowly picked up the cups of tea. They pretended to take a few sips of the drink hoping the toad like woman did not catch on.

Dolores jumped into her questioning eagerly. So sure of herself. She knew it had to be these foreigners "Which of you have been behind all these horrid pranks?"

Yugi looked up at her with those wide innocent eyes of his. He gave her his best innocent face he could muster. "I swear to you we are all innocent. We have never played a prank here at Hogwarts."

"Since we are foreign to this land we would never want to cause any trouble," Ryou added looking at her innocently.

With a slight subtle nudge from the rod she bought every word. "Yes, yes of course. What could I have been thinking? The pranksters are still out there and I expect you boys to tell me who they are should you ever identify the delinquents."

"Why of course professor we wouldn't dream of hiding rule breakers from you." Atem added smoothly using a velvety tone while counting down until Bakura stepped in. 3…2…1…

Boom! Cat plates fell off the outer wall shattering to pieces and large cracks rose up the wall. Pieces of stone were crumbling to the ground. Dolores and the mages jumped at the loud noise. She quickly got up and threw the door open to her office and looked for the offenders. She looked around and saw no one just more debris from the wall and words painted in red on the wall. It read CATCH US IF YOU CAN! Dolores fumed at the disregard for rules and her inability to catch whoever was making a mockery of her.

She turned around and faced the foreign exchange students. "Well I guess this proves your innocence conclusively. You are all dismissed." She said as she walked back into her office to presumably fix the damage caused by the explosion. Though suddenly all that could be heard from her office were pig like noises.

The mages walked back to their dorms with smug looks on their faces and the maniacal laughter of Bakura echoing down the halls.

"She must have cast a spell at dinner at one of the students turned pig." Bakura cackled loudly. They hadn't needed to destroy anything had they realized she had been infected.

"I am guessing most of the staff cast spells at the little piggy students. I doubt there will be classes tomorrow." Marik added while in fits of laughter.

Gryffindor Tower
After Harry's occlumency lessons he returned to Gryffindor tower to write to Ron's brother asking about the transfer students with Ron and Hermione.

Harry felt a little odd about writing this letter but Ron and Hermione both agreed they needed more information on the transfers. Harry was starting to think that Ron might be alright. He had given him a little golden snitch figurine for his bed stand with an apology note even, but if he was wrong and Ron was really a traitor then he for sure would report whatever he learned to the headmaster.

He felt like he was betraying the mages but on the other hand he knew they were keeping secrets. Questions kept running through his head like who were they really and why had Dumbledore brought them here. Were they really dark mages? Were they trustworthy? He knew Hermione did not trust them. She was positive they were using dark magic on Umbridge. What if she was right? Did he care since it was Umbridge? If they were dark mages why weren't they working for Voldemort? He was 99% sure they were not working for the Dark Lord.

Dear Bill,
Hello Bill this is your favorite brother, Hermione, and Harry. We are writing to you because we want to know more about the transfer students. They claim they have no knowledge of our magics, and that they possess a different kind of magic. We have heard the term shadow mage being used in reference to them and wanted to know more about this type of magic and if they possessed it. They told us you were the reason why they are stuck at Hogwarts so we figured you would know more about these guys and why they are here.

Sincerely,
Hermione, Ron, Harry

P.S. Mail delivery is being watched by the ministry.

Hermione folded up the letter carefully. "We will have to sneak out to the owlery later tonight so Professor Umbridge doesn't check the letter's contents."

The golden trio continued working on homework in the common room until they could deliver the letter but Harry was having a difficult time studying. He kept looking over at Ginny who was quietly reading a book. She was just looking really cute this evening. Harry had been noticing her looks a lot today though he was unsure why. Occasionally she would glance his way and then turn her head away shyly when she caught him staring. Hermione huffed in annoyance at Harry's distraction and Ron smirked to himself.

"Why don't you just go over there and talk with my sister?" Ron said encouragingly.

Harry looked over to Ron and blushed a little at being found out. He hesitated and then looked over at Ginny once more. He finally decided to go have a talk with her. Harry could not believe what he was doing. Ginny and Ron were not trustworthy, right? But when he looked at the red head in front of him he couldn't help but want to talk with her and give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he misunderstood what he overheard that night. He was awfully tired and angry so maybe his imagination was playing tricks on him or maybe he missed part of the conversation. He decided to open up to her about that night and see what she had to say. He approached her shyly and they headed off into a more private corner to chat quietly.

Hermione looked up and sighed. She had an unreadable expression on her face and was deep in thought. Ron scooted over closer to Hermione and distracted her from Harry-Bloody-Potter. It annoyed him to no end that Harry always seemed to get all the attention from Hermione. He decided to flirt with the girl that he was secretly crushing on and try and get her attention.

Hermione was pondering Harry and his sudden distraction. It just made no sense to her. He had ignored all of Ginny's original attempts and now suddenly he noticed her? Hermione couldn't help but feel a little pang of jealousy. She supposed it was a good thing that he was being friendly towards the youngest Weasley. She should be grateful he was opening back up to his friends again. Before Christmas he had been distant and volatile towards just about everyone.

Seeing as she was the first one he had warmed back up to, she thought maybe they might be or become more than just friends. She sighed again and tried to pay attention to what Ron was saying completely oblivious to the fact he was hitting on her. Ron finally gave up and the two teens continued working on homework.

Harry finally came back a bit later with a goofy grin on his face. He quietly sat down next to Ron and opened up his books again.

"I take it that went well then?" Ron asked curiously while secretly hoping Ginny had cleared up whatever doubts Harry had about them.

"Yeah we talked about a lot of stuff." Harry responded in a day dreamy kind of voice.

Hermione stood abruptly. "I am going to deliver the letter and head to bed," she said huffily as she closed her books and stormed off.

"What's with Hermione?" Harry questioned curiously while completely oblivious as to why she was mad.

"Who knows mate. That girl is nutters sometimes. Girls never make sense do they?" Ron complained.

With Hermione gone the boys shut their books and started a game of chess to occupy themselves until they felt like going to sleep deciding they could finish their homework tomorrow.
