Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Magical Delinquints ❯ Magical Delinquints 2 ( Chapter 2 )

Yugi laughed as the Silent Magician said something about Snape, the others hear it too, through the mind link and laughed along with them. Only Severus glowered, knowing there was an inside joke he didn't understand. Then, to further his annoyance, they began asking one another riddles to help pass the time.

 

" 'Some say I fly, though I'm not a bird; I'm often wasted, or so I've heard; though I go on endlessly, there's never enough of me, what am I?' " Ryou asked everyone. The first one to answer the riddle won. For a while, only the sounds of hikaris and yamis muttering the riddle back to them were heard, until someone took a guess.

 

"Is it daylight?" Marik asked.

 

"Nope, but that's a good guess." Ryou answered, "Daylight doesn't go on endlessly."

 

"Oh, that's right." Then everyone went back to thinking.

 

"I-is it time?" Yugi asked next.

 

"That's right, Yugi, now it's your turn." Ryou replied.

 

"Okay: Why is a pencil like a riddle?'" He asked softly.

 

"Uh, I give up?" Marik replied, confused by the question. The other's agreed and allowed Yugi to give them the answer.

 

"Because it's no good without a point!" Everyone sweat dropped.

 

"Okay… What's the best thing to take when you are run down?" Yami asked, following Yugi's method. When everyone was silent, he told them, "The number of the car that hit you."

 

"Oh, I got one: What does a 500 pound mouse say?" Bakura asked his favorite joke. The others groaned, having heard it a million times. "It says 'Here kitty, kitty'!"

 

The night went on and each of them began to gradually drift off to sleep. Yugi and Ryou were first, feeling completely safe in the arms of Silent Magician and Spira. Marik and Yami followed with Malik and Bakura last. Snape refused to sleep.

 

When they awoke, the yamis and hikaris were nearly there. The sun rose gently over the horizon of the ocean, creating a beautiful, serene setting. Yugi breathed in the fresh morning air and asked Silent Magician how she was doing. She smiled and nodded, indicating she was enjoying the salty sea air and loving the tranquility of the place. Everyone was enjoying the trip, well, except for Snape, and soon became hungry for breakfast. The only place they could possibly go since they were over the ocean was in the Shadow Realm, or…

 

"Hey Ryou, could you solidify the air so we can have lunch? I know air's your specialty." Yami asked. Ryou smiled and nodded.

 

"No problem." He closed his eyes, asking Spira to hold him upright over the ocean. She complied and watched as he focused all his energy into the air just below them. Soon he made it hard enough to support everyone's weight comfortably, even the creatures.

 

Snape wasn't too keen to be sitting on something he couldn't see, but didn't want to seem out of place. They formed a circle as Malik and Marik stepped into the Shadow Realm for a moment to retrieve the lunch packs. Of course, it was mostly ingredients. The two Egyptians focused and suddenly all the rice they had became cooked and warm in individual bowls. Severus was also given a bowl, but had not asked for one. He looked at the chopsticks oddly and glanced at everyone else, who all seemed to be able to eat with the sticks just fine.

 

"Here, let me help you, Snape-sensei." Yugi reached over and touched the tip of the chopsticks Snape was attempting to use and they magically changed shape into a wooden fork. "Is that better?"

 

"Fine." Severus answered, not wanting to admit he couldn't use chopsticks.

 

Soon they were all finished and back in the air, moving rather quickly. The Duel Monsters seemed to be in a hurry for some reason. Yugi asked Silent Magician why this was so and she ended up answering him through their mind link. It was because there was a tournament in the Shadow Realm coming up and neither of them wanted to miss it. They were already signed up, but it started the next day. The yamis and hikaris began apologizing for imposing on them, but they simply stated it was no trouble at all; they just had to hurry.

 

There was only a few days left before they would have to meet the train anyhow, so the yamis and hikaris would still have a few days left for shopping once they got there. Hopefully the man called Professor Severus Snape could help them find the things on the list. It was only a matter of hours before they finally reached London, a place neither one of them had ever been to.

 

"Thank you for all your help!" Yugi, Marik, and Ryou said to the Duel Monsters who had given them a ride there. They simply smiled and nodded. Malik, Bakura, and Yami were smiling and nodding their thanks as well. The shadow monsters then suddenly vanished. Snape huffed and looked around, realizing they were near Diagon Alley.

 

"This way." He instructed, "I'm going to take you to a place to buy the necessary items to attend Hogwarts of Witchcraft and Wizardry." He informed.

 

"Wait, we need to go to the bank first." Ryou replied. "Otherwise we'd have no money."

 

"Yeah, we made a transfer to the First United Bank of London." Bakura added, "It shouldn't be too far from here, right?"

 

"Tch, muggle money won't help you. However, we do have a currency exchange for those who need it." He answered, "So we will go there first."

 

"Okay." Yami stated. "But do tell, what's a muggle?"

 

"Non-magic people." He answered crisply. "Now let's get moving."

 

After heading over to the First United Bank of London and retrieving their money in cash, Snape directed them to Diagon Alley, which was an odd place to get into. To get there, the tall, black-haired professor had go through a place called the Leaky Cauldron. In the back, the professor began counting and tapping bricks. It was really odd, the yamis and hikaris simply followed without question.

 

Once inside, there were people everywhere running around dressed in long cloaks and tall witch hats. The entire place seemed to resemble an outdoor flea market. Gazing around in awe, the group hardly noticed Professor Snape trying to direct their attention to the currency exchange.

"AHEM! This way, children." He snapped. Yugi was the first to notice and he got everyone else to follow. "Thank you."

 

They walked over to the small blue place in the corner and went inside, where an old wizened woman sat at a mahogany desk decorated in painted washed out flowers. She wore an old, moth-eaten cloak of pale pink. She smiled, making the wrinkles in her face move, but her face was kind and grandmotherly.

 

"My name's Darla, but you can just call me Granny like everyone else, dears. How may I help you, dears?" She asked with a kind voice. Her eyes gazed over each of the boys, as if they were her precious grandchildren.

 

"They need to exchange muggle money for wizard money." Severus replied, annoyed with the motherly woman.

 

"All of you?" She asked, smiling. They nodded. "Alright, then. Line up and Granny will get you all set." Granny turned to Snape, "If you don't need to make any exchanges, you may wait in one of those chairs." The teens did as she had instructed, arranging themselves in an orderly line so she could handle them one by one. "Okay, who's first?"

 

"That would be me, Granny." Malik answered her.

 

"Alright, dear, I need you to tell me how old you are, and your name. Then show me your social security card."

 

"I'm 14 and my name's Malik Ishtar." HE showed her his card.

 

"Great." She answered, stamping a form and handing it over to him. Malik handed her the money and she replaced it with knots, Sickles, and Knuts. "Here you are, dear. Would you like a lollypop or a cookie?" She asked him with such kindness he couldn't refuse. "Alright, who's next?" Soon Granny had seen everyone, but Yugi, who had been last in line. He walked up to her and stood in front of the desk. "Aw, well aren't you a cutie?" Yugi blushed. "What's your name?"

 

"Y-Yugi Moutu." He answered, "I-I'm 13." She fussed over Yugi for a while before finally letting him leave, but not before offering a lollypop, which he accepted. "T-thank you Granny." He smiled.

 

"You're welcome, dear." Granny smiled at all of them as they walked out of the exchange and began hunting for their school supplies. They stopped just outside as Severus read off their list:

 

"Uniform

Students will require:

Three sets of plain work robes (black)

One plain pointed hat (black)

One pair of protective gloves (dragon hide or similar)

One winter cloak (black, silver fastenings)" Snape finished, "I'm not going to bother reading off the books, you'll just forget them anyway." Then added, "Here are a few other things:

One wand

One cauldron (pewter, standard size 12)

One set glass or crystal phials

One telescope

One set brass scales

Students may also bring an owl, cat, or toad."

 

Snape then weaved them through the crowd to the potions shop not too far from the Three Broomsticks. As they entered, Severus was already talking to the clerk about what they would need for their class in Hogwarts. Yugi, Yami, Malik, Marik, Ryou, and Bakura began wandering around; browsing through things they'd never seen before. Each had questions, but Severus brushed them off, saying they had more important things to worry about and he'd answer their questions when they finished shopping.

 

After a few moments, the strange group left the shop, the owner breathing a sigh of relief once they were gone. According to the potions professor, their next stop was to get robes in a place called Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions.

 

This was going to be especially difficult for Yugi, considering he was so small. After entering the shop, the group spread out, making it difficult for Snape to get to all of them.

 

"How may I help you?" Madam Malkin, the woman who ran the place asked.

 

"The children all need standard uniform robes for Hogwarts." Severus instructed. She nodded. The professor turned in the wide-ranging direction they were wandering about in. "I'm going somewhere for a moment. Do not leave this shop until I get back."

 

"Okay." A few shouted back.

 

"Not a problem." Others yelled.

 

Snape hadn't expected an answer, so he just walked out, leaving them to be measured and fitted.

 

"Alright, who's first?" Madam Malkin asked, glancing at them. When no one offered, she simply took the arm on the one nearest to her: Yami. "Thank you for volunteering."

 

He didn't protest as the frumpy woman fiddled with her measure and fitted him with a Hogwarts robe, then dress robe, and finally, a winter robe. When she was finished with him, Madam Malkin then did the same with Ryou and Marik. After finishing with them, the blonde female snatched Bakura, who happened to be the closest. It seemed the Madam's assistant wouldn't be in until later.

"Hey, wha-" She didn't give him a chance to argue and simply had him stand on the stool while the others rummaged around the store. The scowl on his face never left as he was prodded by the older woman. "I am not going to wear one of those, those dresses."

 

"Don't be silly, child, these are called robes." She replied, dismissing his protests. "If you behave till your father comes back, I'll give you a treat."

 

"What?!" Bakura exclaimed, "He's not-"

 

"Hey Bakura, that's so not your color." Malik laughed as Madam Malkin measured the white-haired yami's arm length.

 

"You're next, young man." She stated, glaring at him. The smirk vanished from Malik's face. Yugi saw that Malik really didn't want to go next, so he walked over to the older woman and tugged on her shirt, giving her a shy smile.

 

"E-excuse me, b-but can I go n-next?" Yugi asked shyly in his sweetest voice, showing off his large violet eyes.

 

"Why of course you can." She replied with a smile. No one could resist Yugi's puppy eyes.

 

"T-thank you."

 

"Thanks Yugi." Malik whispered to the boy as he walked passed. Yugi turned to him.

 

"For what?" He gave a naïve, innocent smile. Malik's face switched to confusion before he realized the boy was messing with him when the grin turned to a small smirk. They both began laughing.

 

Soon Madam Malkin was finished with Bakura and called Yugi over. When he stood up on the stool, she frowned and muttered an enlargement charm, making the chair grow so she could measure him better. She threw a robe on him and started adjusting.

 

"Oh my…" She exasperated with having so much extra fabric to hem up and remove, "You certainly are a small one, aren't you?" Yugi pouted adorably.

 

"Am not." He muttered, knowing very well that he was. She smiled at his scowl, thinking he would look charming with any expression.

 

"Hey Yami, Yugi's really buttering up this woman." Ryou told him, "You should come see, it's pretty funny."

 

"Alright, it's not like there's really anything to rummage through besides these weird clothes." Yami answered.

 

Unbeknownst to Yugi and Madam Malkin; Malik, Marik, Ryou, and Yami had all found places to stand and watch as he managed to turn a sour woman sweet. Just then, the bell above the door rang and three more teens walked in, presumably Hogwarts students. One was tall with flaming red hair and freckles, another was a girl with brunette hair that seemed to have had a fight with a bottle of hairspray, and lost. Badly. The third had jet-black hair and a pair of round, thick glasses. On his forehead was a small scar in the shape of a lightning bolt.

 

"Hello, Madam Malkin." The three of them stated, expecting the usual bitter woman from when they shopped for Fred and George's robes.

 

"Why hello, young ones, here to buy robes?" She asked in a sugary voice.

 

"Uh…" The redhead managed.

 

"Yes we are, Madam." Stated the girl.

 

"…." The third remained silent, but turned towards Yugi, who smiled shyly. "What's your name?"

 

"I-I'm Y-Yugi." The smallest hikari replied, bowing to them from atop the stool. He turned to his friends and pointed to each one in turn. "That's Bakura, Malik, Ryou, Yami, and Marik."

 

"I'm Hermione Granger, this is Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter." She introduced the redhead, then the boy with glasses. The three of them seemed to be expecting an outburst after the mentioning of the last name, but the Japanese boys only blinked.

 

"You can step down now, hon." Madam Malkin interrupted, holding Yugi's hand as he jumped from the stool neatly. Malik didn't protest when she beckoned him over. Ron, Hermione, and Harry walked over to the strange group to wait their turn.

 

"Wow, you have accents!" Marik stated bluntly, amazed with the three other students. Yugi, Ryou, Bakura, and Yami sweat dropped.

 

"Really? Well, so do you." Ron replied, "Where are you from?"

 

"Japan." Ryou answered, "Domino City to be more precise."

 

"Yeah, a professor from Hogwarts even came to our city to help us around here." Bakura added.

 

"When I first went to Hogwarts, Professor Hagrid came to help me, is that who helped you?" Harry asked.

 

"No, his name is Snape-sensei, actually." Yami responded.

 

"Snape?" Harry asked, astonished they were stuck with the cruel potions teacher. "He's the worst teacher of the school and is head of Slytherin."

 

"What is a Slytherin, Harry-san?" Yugi asked quietly. Harry and Ron wanted to ask what "san" meant, but Hermione spoke before they got the chance.

 

"Oh, Slytherin is on of four houses at Hogwarts, like sororities or fraternities." Hermione explained, "There's also Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw."

 

"Hey, I've got an idea." Ron interrupted, "Why don't I ask my mum if you guys can stay with us until school. I mean, I don't think you'll want to spend the next few days with Snape after all."

 

"Sure." Malik stated, having just finished with Malkin, "As long as you don't mind if we sleep outside."

 

"…Sleep outside?" Ron asked.

 

"Yeah, we practically always sleep outdoors." Yami confirmed. Malik had read Harry, Ron, and Hermione's minds, finding that the place they may go to didn't have enough room for the six of them to be added to it. "It's our thing."

 

"Uh, I'm sure my mum won't mind." Ron answered skeptically.

 

Soon Harry, Ron, and Hermione were also measured and had gotten their new robes for Hogwarts. It was just then when Snape walked back into the little shop to collect the students he was to help, only to see them chattering idly with Granger, Potter, and Weasley.

 

"Hello Potter." He stated with obvious malice. Yami sighed in exasperation, knowing that tone, but before he could say anything, Ryou intervened, with wide eyes.

 

"Snape-sensei? Can we shop with them?" Ryou asked in his 'don't-say-no-to-me-or-my-yami-will-tear-you-to-shreds' look.

 

"P-please, sensei?" Yugi asked, eyes shining.

 

Snape thought about that for a moment, but decided almost as soon as the question was asked, considering how much they had put him through: the monsters carrying them overseas for days, their oddity during the trip, their behavior at the exchange… If he could pawn them off on the infamous trio, then what difference did it make to Albus as long as they were taken care of? Severus nodded, knowing he would see enough of them at school when it started.

 

"Are you going to stay with them for the duration of the summer?" Marik nodded. "Fine." With that, he swept out of the small shop without looking back.

 

"Where to next?" Ryou asked Ron, Harry, and Hermione, who were staring at him and Yugi open-mouthed. "What?"

 

"Wha- I mean how…never mind." Ron stammered, "Have you gotten wands yet?"

 

"No." Malik replied. "I think we were going there next."

 

"It's a good thing we each got a copy of that list." Bakura informed, holding his up, "Cuz I think that Snape guy took the others with him."

 

"I know he did, but since you stole yours back, we don't have to worry about it." Malik answered, "Which was pretty good by the way."

 

"Thanks."

 

"Anyhow, love, let's go get wands." Ryou interrupted.

 

"Okay."

 

After they paid for the robes and left Madam Malkin's, the nine wizards made their way over to Ollivanders, the only place left for wands, according to Harry. The inside was filled with boxes of wands stacked from floor to ceiling. It was rather dusty and old looking.

 

"Hello." A soft voice greeted from seemingly nowhere. It was Mr. Ollivander, the owner. "I presume you're all looking for wands? Quite a large group."

 

"No, us three have already got wands." Harry reminded the older man, who smiled.

 

"Ah yes, Harry, very nice wand: holly and phoenix feather, eleven inches, nice and flexible." Mr. Ollivander stated, his eyes piercing. "And Hermione, yours, as I recall, was-"

 

"Yes, I know, Mr. Ollivander, but as we've said, we aren't here for wands." She gestured to the yamis and hikaris. "They are."

 

"Oh, right." He walked over to them. "You, come here." He pointed at Yami.

 

Yami followed him casually, cool as a cucumber, arms folded regally over his chest. Mr. Ollivander began furiously rummaging through the boxes after taking a good look at the yami. After several tries, the crimson-eyed teen ended up with a wand made of mandrake berries, unicorn hairs, and a dragon fang, eleven and a half inches long, black willow used for the wood. Yugi was next. His wand was only eleven inches but it was made with the same materials, only with a white willow rather then dark. The wands themselves were black and white, oddly enough.

 

"Very interesting. It seems you both have fangs from the same dragon." Mr. Ollivander mused, obviously perplexed with Yugi and Yami's wands. "Those were the only fangs it ever gave too."

 

Malik followed, finding that a twelve-inch wand made with a very fine swan feather, hairs of a fire rat, and black rose thorns was the wand for him. The wood was from the dark maple tree. Marik, who went after him, discovered little difference between his and his yami's wands, except, of course, his wood was white.

 

"Interesting, so far two of you have white wands and two black." Mr. Ollivander commented gleefully. He was enjoying the peculiarity of his customers and hoped it continued with the next two.

 

Bakura, going after Marik, became attached to a twelve and three quarter inch wand created from the blood of a dove, the leaf of a daisy, and dust from a tiger's foot. The timber was of a redwood, but black. Naturally, Ryou's, found in a box right beside his yami's, was the same, only white.

 

"My, my, my, this is truly spectacular." Mr. Ollivander seemed overjoyed. "Three white wands, three black wands…" He marveled this for a moment before continuing. "This hasn't happened since…well, it's never happened before. I've had those wands on shelf since this place opened. Well, never mind that, I think you children have much more shopping to do, is that right?"

 

"Y-yes." Yugi answered, wondering if Mr. Ollivander was okay.

 

"Well, I don't mean to rush you, but you best be going so you can get to school and try out those wands." Mr. Ollivander stated, then started muttering again, "Never in all my years…imagine, white and black wands…I never thought anyone would get them…"

 

The Hogwarts students by now were a little creeped out by Mr. Ollivander and decided to slowly escape out the door a few at a time. The old man didn't seem to notice that they were all gone and was still muttering on and on about there never having been a wizard to posses the black and white wands in his shop, the only ones of their kind in the world.

 

Once outside, Ron mentioned that they had better go find his parents and ask if it was alright for Yugi, Yami, Ryou, Bakura, Malik, and Marik to stay over. He was sure they'd agree since the six were willing to sleep outside, but it was better not to assume. They wandered through Diagon Alley to find them, going from shop to shop, gathering the remainder of their school supplies.

 

"They should be at one of the secondhand book shops." Ron explained. The yamis and hikaris had instinctively held hands through the thick crowds and the three others joined them.

 

It wasn't for hours until they eventually got around to finding Mr. and Mrs. Weasley in Diagon Alley, which was because they continuously stopped to gather school supplies. When they did get around to locating them, it was just as Ron had said: they were bargain shopping in a secondhand bookstore.

 

"Hi, Mrs. Weasley." Harry and Hermione greeted. "We were just looking for you."

 

Mrs. Weasley, Molly, was a pleasant chubby woman with flaming red hair to match her son's. Her face was kind and caring, very motherly. It appeared that Mr. Weasley was wandering elsewhere in the store, looking for a better bargain on their course books.

 

"Hey Mum." Ron added, then turned to the others and pointed to each of them in turn. "These are our friends Malik, Bakura, Yami, Marik, Ryou, and Yugi." They bowed to her, as was Japanese custom.

 

"Oh, hello dears." Mrs. Weasley welcomed, not knowing what else to say. "It's nice to meet all of you."

 

"The pleasure is mine, Weasley-san." Yami smiled charmingly and kissed Mrs. Weasley's hand. She barley refrained from giggling at the dark child.

 

"I second that." Bakura winked and shook her hand. Malik followed with a cheerful welcome as well, then the yamis stepped back.

 

"Well, uh…", She was at a loss of what to say.

 

"Mrs. Weasley, we were wondering if it would be alright if our friends here stayed at the Burrow." Harry asked, knowing she had a soft spot for him.

 

"Oh, I really must talk to Arthur first…" She started, looking back at the six hopeful boys.

 

"But Mum, they haven't anywhere else to go." Ron explained quietly so the new students wouldn't overhear, "They came all the way here from Japan… alone."

 

"Alone?" Molly asked bewildered, "Where are your parents?" Malik, Yami, and Bakura looked away while Ryou, Marik, and Yugi lowered their eyes. Yugi was the first to speak up.

 

"They…they're dead." Yugi answered softly. "O-our foster parents take care of us." He wanted to add, Well, kind of.

 

"I'm so sorry." She sympathized. "Are you all brothers then?"

 

"N-no." Ryou replied quietly, trying to word their story so she wouldn't pity them, "Yugi, Marik, and I are brothers by law, not blood. Yami, Malik, and Bakura are real brothers. Their parents are dead too, only they weren't adopted off like we were."

"I'm so sorry." She repeated. They didn't miss the look of sympathy in her eyes, having seen it many times before, but this time it seemed less… fake. It seems she's a very caring woman and has a soft spot for children, especially boys.

 

"It's okay, that was a long time ago." Marik smiled at her, feeling bad for upsetting the kind woman. "As for staying at your house, you don't have to worry about anything, we'll sleep outside."

 

"Oh, I couldn't let you do that." Molly replied in shock. "That would be awful."

 

"If you'll pardon me for saying so, Weasley-san, but we love sleeping outside and do it all the time." Bakura informed her, taking great pains to be polite due to recent threats from Ryou. "We only wish to sleep in your yard, if that's alright."

 

"Of course, dears." She answered, "As long as your sure you won't be cold or scared or-"

 

"W-we'll be fine, Weasley-san." Yugi interrupted, looking up at her with his deep violet eyes, captivating Molly. "S-sleeping under the mystical eyes of the dark night had always been something we've enjoyed. Especially when we're together."

 

"I suppose it's alright then…" She responded, "but we'll talk more about the arrangements when we get back home." Molly pursed her lips then turned towards the back of the shop. "Arthur, have you gotten everything yet?"

 

"Yes, Molly dear, I'm just going to pay, then we're done." He answered. "Then all we have to do is meet with Fred, George, and Ginny in Madam Milkin's." Arthur then came into view and saw the yamis and hikaris beside Harry, Ron, and Hermione. "Uh, hello."

 

"Konichiwa, Weasley-san." Yugi greeted, bowing respectfully.

 

"Hello." Ryou stated right after, followed by the others. They introduced themselves as well.

 

"Arthur, dear, they're going to be staying with us until the beginning of school." Molly informed him. "We can talk more about that later, but now we must hurry and meet with the others. In fact, why don't you children go find George, Ginny, and Fred and let them know we're on our way?"

 

"Okay."

 

With that, the nine of them all left the store and headed towards Madam Milkin's. Everyone had everything they needed for school by that time and were tired from al the running around they had done up to that point. By the time they reached the small robe store, Fred and George were finished and Ginny was up on the stool as a witch hemmed and prodded the material. The Weasley twins stared at the odd group of Japanese students as if they sprouted two heads and were dancing in drag, considering their outfits were rather outlandish. Harry, Ron, and Hermione introduced the twins to the others quickly and were about to state who the others were, but the red-haired boys jumped right in.

 

"Who are you guys?" They asked together. It was odd how they were always doing that.

 

"I'm Malik." Malik answered, bring the first to recover form the twins' stares. "This is Marik, Bakura, Ryou, Yami, and Yugi. We're all going to Hogwarts next year."

 

"Really?" George asked. They nodded.

 

"How old are you guys?" Fred questioned. "I mean, Marik and Malik look to be in their second year, not first."

 

"I guess we're just late arrivals." Malik answered, knowing the reason they weren't summoned to the school earlier was because the yamis and hikaris had only met up about a year ago, awakening their magic.

 

"Hey, who're you guys?" Ginny asked, stepping off the stool to join the conversation. Once again, the six stated their names and home. "Cool, you're from Japan?" They nodded. "Can you do any magic?"

 

"Ginny, of course they can do magic." George retorted.

 

"Otherwise they wouldn't be going to Hogwarts at all." Fred added.

 

"Do you know any magic now?" George followed.

 

"Of course we can." Bakura interjected.

 

"Really?" Fred questioned skeptically. "Then let's see."

 

"Is that acceptable, Hermione-chan?" Yugi asked, his deep violet eyes alight with excitement. He had seen her doubt and understood her need to follow the rules to a tee.

 

"No, I'm sorry, but it's against the rules to do magic outside of Hogwarts." She insisted.

 

"Fine. I didn't think it would be a good idea with so many people around anyhow." Bakura retorted, then smirked. "Sometimes things can get…a little out of control." Yami's eyes narrowed, wondering what the Tomb-Robber could be thinking.

 

"The Shadow Realm is off limits when others are present. You know that. We were only able to get away with it in front of Snape because he'd already seen the Duel Monsters." Yami muttered to Bakura, who only nodded.

 

"That's alright, we can show you our magic at school. I'm sure it's not much different then yours." Ryou commented. Though, he didn't know just then how wrong he was…

 

It wasn't long before the yamis and hikaris found themselves at the Burrow where the Weezley's lived. They were very homey people and friendly. Mrs. Weezely had no trouble adapting to their presence, obviously used to having so many boys running about.
