Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction / Fan Fiction ❯ Lover's Phoenix ❯ The Sorting ( Chapter 6 )

Cherry: Another chapter up! Sorry it took so ling. It took me awhile to decide which house to put each one in and all. And I'm still working no my other stories, so sorry for the late update!

Review Thanks To: Towairaito Zoon, Molly-chan the Anime/game fan, kari-yugi, dreamsprite, Junko the Lost, Kurohi Tatsaki, Jimbiny Lupin-Wood, Neko Moon Goddess, rox, Ranma Higurashi, Argen Lux, and Moonlight Dancer

Ranma Higurashi- Yes, a lot of people will have a crush on the hikaris. Mainly Yugi though. Why? Cause I love him. ^_^ I was going to have someone know about them but I think is funnier if someone finds out about them by accident.

Kurohi Tatsaki- Bakura might blow something up in Potions. Or maybe it it'll be Marik and Malik. Someone will mess something up and they will be able to get out of punishment. How? That's a secret.

Moonlight Dancer- In all my stories Malik is the hikari and Marik is the yami. Why? Because I'm just used to it that way. Hope I cleared it up for you.

Once the three new students had left with Hagrid, Fred and George climbed into the same carriage as Harry, Hermione, and Ron.

"Have you three met the new transfer student?" Fred asked them.

The trio nodded. "They seem really nice. They do look a little strange though, with their hair. Especially the tri-colored one," Hermione said.

"We noticed how the looked too," George said. "And it's just….. wow."

Hermione hit the twin on the back of the head. "Owe! What was that for?" George said, rubbing his head.

"That's for judging them just by their looks.," Hermione said. "It just wrong how men always go for girls that are good looking."

"Okay, you made your point, but did you have to hit so hard?" George complained.

Fred grinned at a thought, "I wonder if their hair is natural. I'll have to asked them. Especially that Yugi girl…. Fred grinned again at the thought of talking to Yugi. "Owe!""

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yugi, Ryou, and Malik waited outside the Great Hall with the first years. Malik and Ryou were getting a few stares because of their height. Yugi was also getting some stares but not because of his height. He was near the same height as the first years but his hair caught a lot of attention.

Professor McGonagall walked through the large doors. "Welcome to Hogwarts! I am Professor McGonagall. The banquet will begin shortly. Once you are sorted, take your place at the correct table. Now, where are my three late starters?"

The trio raised their hands. Professor McGonagall looked at them, slightly raising an eyebrow at Yugi. "Very well, you will be sorted at the end. Please stay at the back of the line until you are called."

The three nodded and made their way to the back of the crowd. Professor McGonagall led the students into the Great Hall. Everyone gasped as the saw the Great Gall. The place was lit with hundreds of candles and floated in the air over four long tables. At the top of the Great Gall, there was a long table where all the teachers were sitting.

Professor McGonagall placed a small stool in front of the first years and a old pointed hat on top. The crowd was startled when the hat opened a rip near the brim and started to sing: (Cherry: Gonna use the 5th year one cause I just really like it.)

In times of old when I was new

And Hogwarts barely started

The founders of our noble school

Thought never to be parted:

United by a common goal,

The had the selfsame yearning,

To make the world's best magic school

And pass along their learning.

"Together we will build and teach!"

The four good friends decided

And never did they dream that they

Might someday be divided,

For there are such friends anywhere

As Slytherin and Gryffindor?

Unless it was the second pair

Of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw?

So how could it have gone so wrong?

How could such friendship fail?

Why, I was there and so I tell

The whole sad, sorry tale.

Said Slytherin, "We'll teach those

Whose ancestry is purest.

Said Ravenclaw, "We'll teach those whose

Intelligent is surest."

Said Gryffindor, "We'll teach all those

With brave deeds to their name,"

Said Hufflepuff "I'll teach he lot,

And treat them al the same."

These differences cause little strife

When first the came to light,

For each of the four founders had

A house in which they might

Take only those they wanted, so,

For instance, Slytherin

Took only pure-blood wizards

Of great cunning, just like him,

And only those of sharpest mind

Were taught by Ravenclaw

While the bravest and the boldest

Went to daring Gryffindor.

Good Hufflepuff, she took the rest,

And taught them all she knew,

Thus the House and their founders

Retained friendship firm and true

So Hogwarts worked in harmony

For several happy years

But discord crept among us

Feeding our faults and fears.

The houses that like pillars four,

Had once held up out school,

Now turn upon each other and,

Divided, sought to rule

And for awhile it seemed the school

Must meet an early end,

What with dueling and with fighting

And the clash of friend on friend

And at last there came a morning

When old Slytherin departed

And though the fighting then died out

He left us quite downhearted

And never since the founders four

Were whittled down to three

Have the Houses been united

As they once were meant to be.

And now the Sorting Hat is here

And you all know the score:

I sort you in to Houses

Because that is what I'm for,

But this year I'll go further,

Listen closely to my song:

Though condemned I am to split you

Still I worry that it's wrong,

Though I must fulfill my duty

And must quarter every year

Though I wonder whether sorting

May not bring the end I fear.

Oh, know the perils, read the signs,

The warning history shows,

For our Hogwarts is in Danger

From external, deadly foes

And we must unite inside her

Or we'll crumble from within

I have told you, I have warned you………

Let the sorting now begin.

(Cherry: God that took forever to write down.)

Once the hat finished, Professor McGonagall pulled out a long scroll and started to shout out names. "Daniel Bauman!"

A small blond boy walked up to the stool. The hat waited a minute before it shouted out the correct house. "SLYTHERIN!"

Daniel walked over to the Slytherin table and sat down. The hat continued to sort the students. "Eleanor Darthied!"

"HUFFLEPUFF"

"Samantha Ernst!"

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Sheryl Leenirt!"

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Dama Gartplin"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

The sorting continued till there were only the three hikaris left. Dumbledore stood up to welcome everyone. "Welcome everyone to Hogwarts! I would like to introduce your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor William Tyler!"

Most of the Hall erupted into applause. Many tried to get a glance at their new teacher. No Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher has been able to last more then a year. Harry managed to see the new teacher. It was a tall blond man that looked about in his late twenties. There was something familiar in his eyes though. The new professor met Harry's eye. Professor Tyler winked at Harry before looking away. Harry blinked in shock. Did he just *wink* at him? Harry shook his head and turned his attention back to Dumbledore.

"As many of you have noticed, we have a few new late starters here. They have traveled from far away to come here so please be polite to them!" Dumbledore sat down as Professor McGonagall pulled out another scroll.

"Bakura, Ryou! Japan."

Ryou slowly made his way up to the hat. He gently put the hat over his head. It wasn't long before he heard a small voice, and it wasn't Bakura.

"My my. Two minds huh? Well this is new. Never seen this before." The hat said amused.

~~ You have a problem with me sharing a body with my hikari? ~~ Bakura said, obviously annoyed by the hat.

The hat laughed, "Oh no, It's just something new. Hmm. Well this is a hard decision. It seems Ryou here, could be put in either Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. But you, Bakura is it, would most definitely be out in Slytherin. A thief you were, indeed. Very cunning and fast thinking. Hmm. Very hard indeed."

Ryou sat in silence as the hat decided which house to put him in. "Either Hufflepuff or Slytherin. I've got it! You should be put into SLYTHERIN!"

The hat shouted the last word to the Hall. The Slytherin table erupted into cheers, obviously happy about that Sorting Hat's choice.

Ron turned to Harry. "How can she be in Slytherin? She acts nothing like Malfoy and the other Slytherin." Harry shrugged. He didn't know the answer himself. There must be some reason that the hat put Ryou in Slytherin.

"Ishtal, Malik! Egypt."

Malik walked to the stool and fitted the large hat over his head.

"Another crowed mind I see. Well, it's obvious where both of you go. SLYTHERIN!"

Again the Slytherin table cheered as Malik made his way to join Ryou. Ryou and Malik met each other's eye. Each showing that they weren't surprised at the hat's choice, from what they have heard about the houses.

"Mutou, Yugi! Japan."

Yugi also made his way to the stool. There was a soft murmur around the room about his height. Mainly the girls though. The guys in the room were too busy drooling over Yugi, which only earned them a smack in the head from their girlfriends.

Yugi had a little trouble fitting that hat over his head, due to his hair. Once he had managed to keep it on, he and Yami also heard the same voice from the hat.

"Ah, a pharaoh this time. It is an honor." The hat said. "Very interesting bunch I'm getting here. Three crowed minds in a row. Interesting. Well, you're very smart, without a doubt. Very loyal and brave too. Many traits of each House, even some Slytherin in you. Cunning and resourceful. Very hard decision."

The hat took a long time thinking about what house. Every once in awhile Yami would mumble that it was taking too long.

"Very hard decision. Probably the hardest I've ever had. Even harder then Potter. Very strong, you both are. It seems also very loyal to your friends. But no, not Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw is right." That hat said, once again.

At least ten minutes past and the hat had yet to sort Yugi.

"I think….. Ah, yes. A very hard one but none the less, both of you belong in GRYFFINDOR!"

Someone outside the Great Hall could have sworn a bomb exploded in the Great Hall. The Gryffindor table cheered loudly as Yugi removed the hat and walked over to the table, taking a seat next to Hermione.

Dumbledore stood up once again. "The Sorting is now completed! Let the feast begin!"

Dumbledore clapped his hands and food filled the many plates in front of them.

Yugi glanced over to where Ryou and Malik were sitting. Ryou was in a slight daze that Yugi knew meant he was talking to Bakura.

/To bad we had to be separated./ Yugi thought through there link.

//Don't feel bad. It's not surprising to me that they are in that house though.// Yami replied.

/Yeah, I guess so./ Yugi said. /Want to take over? I'm a little tired right now./

//Okay.//

/Be careful though. These wizards might be able to notice the change better then come people. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it before./

//Don't worry, I'm used to having to act like you. The powers of the Items also help a bit. The have the minds of those around us not notice the changes.//

/Better switch now. They probably are wondering why I'm spacing out./ Yugi said as he retreated to his soul room to rest while Yami took control.

The feast was delicious for Yami. He hadn't had such a banquet since he was pharaoh. Once the feast was over, Dumbledore stood up once again and motioned for everyone to be silent.

"Well, what a wonderful feast! There are a few announcements this year. Remember that students aren't allowed to be in the Forbidden Forest as always!"

//Bet you anything Bakura and Marik will go there.// Yami said through the link.

"Also, due to the return of Lord Voldemort, (many people flinched at the sound of his name) there will be no night wandering this year." Dumbledore seemed to be looking at Harry as he said this. "Be careful while walking around the grounds. Quidditch tryouts will be held next week! And we have something very special happening this year! I am glad to announce that this year, we will be holding the Interwizarding Tournament this year!" (Yami: Interwizarding? Cherry: Oh, shut up! I couldn't think of any other name.)

"You got to be kidding me!" Hermione shouted. Apparently, she was one of the few that actual knew what the tournament was.

Dumbledore smiled at Hermione. "It seems you know what it is, Ms. Granger. For those who don't, it is very similar to the Triwizard Tournament that was held two years ago. It is a tournament that will be held just within Hogwarts. Four Champions will be chosen for this. There will also be a series of three tasks also to do. This is less dangerous then the Triwizard Tournament so a few rules are changes. Such as you need only to be in your 4th year to enter. How the Champions will be picked will be picked will be announce at Halloween when the tournament starts."

Harry and Ron turned to Hermione. "You know what this is?" Ron asked.

Hermione nodded. "I read it in Hogwarts: The History. It's a tournament to celebrate the founding of Hogwarts. It is held every hundred years."

"Cool! Ron said. "Harry, do you think you will be entering? You could probably win this like you did the Triwizard."

"Don't know if I will. I might be dangerous like the Triwizard."

Yami but in, "What is the Triwizard tournament?"

"It was a tournament held in out 4th year. Harry was one of the Hogwarts Champions. He won the whole thing," Hermione explained to `Yugi.'

"Sadly," Yami heard Harry mumble. He wanted to ask about it more, but decided to drop the subject.

"Harry, you should try though. Dumbledore did say it would be less dangerous and it would be good training for you."

"I don't know, Ron. I might. I have to think about it. I don't even know if I'll, got picked."

Ron and Hermione showed the Gryffindor first years to the dorms. The new password was `Snuffles.' (Cherry: Can't help it. Thought it would be cute.)

Yami followed Hermione to the 6th year dorms. His trunks were already there, to his surprise. After thanking Hermione he quickly changed (in the bathroom) and pulled the curtains around his bed, before climbing into under the covers.

Yugi quickly formed under the covers next to Yami. Yugi snuggled closer to Yami as he yawned.

/You think we should try to enter that tournament?/

//It would be interesting. I'm up for the challenge.//

/Aren't/ Yugi paused for another yawn. /Aren't you always?/

Yami smiled at his adorable hikari. //Go to sleep. You'll be up really early tomorrow.//

/Breakfast doesn't start till eight. That's not that early./

//We'll be up a bit earlier. We should look around a bit first. Just to make sure we don't get lost. Maybe find an empty classroom…..//

/What am I going to do with you?/

//I can think of a few things…..//

/Hentai./

Yami laughed through their link. //Good night, aibou.// Yami said giving Yugi a soft kiss.

/Night Yami/

Both of them drifted off into their dreams, both unaware of the new dangers this year brought.

Cherry: That is the longest thing I have ever wrote. Sorry it took so long! Hope you like the chapter. Yes, the tournament is the new plot for my story. I hope you don't mind the houses I put each of them in. I didn't want to separate Malik and Ryou so, I put Ryou and Bakura and Slytherin. I do need a little help with thinking up the tasks. I have one task already in mind. If you have any ideas then feel free to tell me them. Please review!

Small vote. This is for my upcoming story, Those Two Years, the sequel to Gone. It will be another HP/YGO crossover. I want to know if you think I should put any slash in it. (Slash- Relationship between to people of the same gender.) Cause I wanted to maybe put some Harry/Draco in it but only if you want it. So, please review if you want or don't want. Thank you!
