10: 34 p.m

 

“It's nice to meet new people in another country.”

 

“Yeah, especially when they're going to the same magic school as us. At least now we know who we can hang out with..”

 

They're back in JY's room, talking about the people they just met. Hagrid even told them, back at the Leaky Cauldron, that Harry is one of the famous wizards in the country. Surviving the most powerful curse from the most powerful and evil dark wizard in the whole world: Lord Voldemort.

 

“I can't believe that kid named Ron and Hagrid flinched at that name,” Joey said as he looked through his new school supplies.

 

“They're not the only one….” Marick explained, “On the way here, remember when we were talking about Harry and Voldemort? When we kept saying Voldemort, everyone screamed or jumped at that name. Looks like everyone feared him terribly….”

 

“I bet he's not as worse as the foes we had to face before…” Yugi said.

 

He remembered them too clearly. After he solved the Millennium puzzle, he had to face a lot of enemies trying to get it for power and destruction. At Duelist Kingdom, Pegasus tried to get Yugi's soul just to revive his beloved wife. Then, at Battle City Tournament, the leader of the Rare Hunter, Marik, soon taken over by Yami Marik, tried to get both the Millennium Puzzle and the Pharaoh's soul in it, so that he could take over the world.

 

((I don't know anything about Season 4 - Waking of the Dragons… so I'll just leave it to that..))

 

“I've faced worse foes before, including Kaiba, so there's no reason for me to be scared of Voldemort.”

 

“Yeah! If we could defeat those bad asses in Japan, we can defeat Voldemort here!” Joey said confidently. He took out one of the textbooks and began to read it on his bed.

 

“Well, lets not get too confident…after all, we don't know anything about this place and the people we just met…” Marik said.

 

“That's true…..” Ryou said.

 

“Don't worry about it Marik…besides, it'll be one out of a million chances of meeting `Lord' Voldemort. I'm pretty sure that once we get into that school, we'll be safe in the hands of Albus Dumbleydor…” Joey said.

 

“That's `Dumbledore'” Ryou corrected.

 

“Yeah, whatever.”

 

They all soon feel sleepy and Marik and Ryou went back to their own room. Yugi and Joey packed their new supplies in their trunks and went to bed.

 

 

 

 

“Alrighty then, here's yer tickets to Hogwarts,” Hagrid said as he handed the tickets to Yugi Joey, Marik, Ryou, and Seto.

 

They all arrived at King Cross Station the very next day at ten past twelve. Hagrid dropped their stuff at their own carts and they wheeled it into the station. People at the station keep starring at them, especially at Hagrid, as they pass by. Can't blame them though. Hagrid is twice as tall as everyone else, even taller then Seto. They soon stopped dead as they face platforms nine and ten. Yugi looked down to his tickets and checks it to see whether they're in the right platform, only to have a puzzling look on his face.

 

“Platform nine and three-quarters?? Does that even exist?”

 

“Sure it is! It's right in front of you! Have a good term!” Hagrid said as he points at a brick wall.

 

The only thing the gang could see is a wall that splits platform nine and ten. They turned around to ask Hagrid about it, only to find that Hagrid is nowhere to be seen.

 

“What the heck!? Where did he go??” Joey exclaimed.

 

“Maybe were suppose to tap it like he did at Diagon Alley…” Ryou suggested.

 

“AARRGHH! We have no time for this!! We only got ten more minutes until the train leaves!!” Seto shouted.

 

Joey and Marik gave a funny look at Seto.

 

“What are you staring at dweebs!?” Seto shouted again.

 

“Since when do you care so much about getting on that train? DO you really want to go to Hogwarts?” Joey asked dully.

 

“Yeah, I thought you don't care about going to Hogwarts, not alone the train that'll take us to Hogwarts…” Marik said.

 

“Look, I'm going to say this once and I don't want to say it again. I'm going to Hogwarts for my brother. If I find that this whole thing is a big prank to get money or publicity, not only I'm going to ground my brother for this, but I'm going to SUE WHOEVER CAME UP WITH THIS STUPID MUMBO JUMBO, OK!?!?!?”

 

“Guys shut up! I thought I heard something……” Yugi said.

 

“What is it this time?!!??!”

 

Yugi thought he heard someone familiar just a few minutes ago. He turned around and saw a couple of familiar faces coming their way.

 

“Oi Harry! It's them!” a voice exclaimed.

 

It's Harry, Ron, and Hermione, plus a couple of people behind them that looked like Ron's family (due to red-hair and freckles). Yugi smiled and waved at them.

 

“Hey! It's them! Hello there!” Yugi called out.

 

Yugi could see that they're pushing their carts after them. They stopped in front of him and panted.

 

“Trying to get on the platform?” Ron asked.

 

“Yeah. Our tickets said that we're supposed to go to platform nine and three quarters, but we couldn't find it anywhere. Hagid said it's here between platform nine and ten, but we don't know how….” Yugi explained.

 

“You all are going as sixth years and yet you don't know how to get on the platforms?” a red-hair plump woman asked.

 

“Mom, they're not from around here…didn't Dumbledore and us told you about them?”

 

“Oh right.. I forgot about that..”

 

Ron then introduced Yugi and his friends to Mr and Mrs. Weasley and Ron's twin brother, Fred and George.

 

“Hello there!” Fred and George greeted in unison.

 

“You better watch out for them, they're the best pranksters in the school….” Ron warned.

 

“Yeah, same as Joey….” Yugi said.

 

“Oh enough chit chats! You'll all be late if you stand around! Come on!” Mrs. Weasly exclaimed as she pushes Ron to the wall.

 

“Alright alright! We're going…” Ron said.

 

Ron pushed his cart to the wall between platform nine and ten.

 

“Watch out Ron!” Joey shouted, as he tried to grab Ron's arm to stop him from crashing to the wall, only to find that Ron has vanished.

 

“What the heck….!?”

 

“You have to go through the invisible barrier in order to get to the platform,” Hermione explained quietly.

 

“There's a barrier??” Ryou asked.

 

“Yep. But you have to be careful not to be seen getting through a wall by Muggles.” Harry said.

 

“Oh.”

 

“Best to do a little run, if you get nervous,” Mr. Weasley suggested.

 

“We'll have Hermione demonstrate, then you all can go through.” Mrs. Weasley said

 

Hermione pushed her cart quickly and went through the wall. Joey then decided to go next, but with style.

 

“Woohoo! Here we go!!”

 

Joey moved his cart back as far as possible, and then he broke into a run. He ran as fast as he can and he jumped into the cart. Mrs. Weasley, looking horrified, jumped out of the way.

 

“YEAH!!” Joey screamed like he's in a roller coaster ride and he went through the barrier. Mrs. Weasley turned pale and almost collapsed. Yugi, on the other hand, looks embarrassed for his friend.

 

“Uh….sorry about that. He's always that crazy….”

 

“Alright! We should do that!” Fred said in excitement.

 

“You will not ride on your carts at full speed and crash into the barrier!” Mrs. Weasly shouted.

 

After that whole incident, everyone else went through the barrier, in a calm normal way. Yugi, who was last to get through the barrier, is shocked that he just went through the wall, and ended up in some kind of a secret platform. A scarlet engine train is waiting next to the platform, which is swarmed of people. On the train's side, a sign said Hogwart's Express. Yugi then looked up and sw a sign that says Platforn Nine and Three-Quarters. Smoke drifted over the heads of excited crowds and owls are flying and hooting all around. Fascinated, he was about to have a look around, but got interrupted by a voice

 

“Yugi! You coming or what!?” Joey called.

 

He put his luggages in the compartment near the end of the train and went to find the others inside the train.

 

“Over here Yugi!” Marik called.

 

Yugi turned around and found Marik waving at him from one of the carriages. Yugi went inside and found Marik, Ryou, and Seto (who's sitting near the window) on the right side, Joey and Harry on the left. But there are a couple of people missing.

 

“Where are Ron and Hermione?” Yugi asked.

 

“They have to sit in another carriage because they're prefects,” Harry replied.

 

“What are prefects?” Joey asked.

 

Harry then explained the kind of jobs prefects do at school ((I'm not really sure what prefects do at Hogwarts. The only thing I know about them is that they take away points….))

 

“Oh I see…”

 

“They'll come around soon. Ron really wants to know how to play Duel Monsters.”

 

“Really?” Yugi asked.

 

“Yep. Hermione isn't too enthusiastic about it, but she think that it might come in handy some day….”

 

“Oh it'll be quite handy….once you learn all the basic rules about it.”

 

“Oh, you think you can teach me now?” Harry asked. He looks really excited to learn how to play.

 

“Sure! Once Ron and Hermione gets here. Then we can teach you all how to play.”

 

“Ok.”

 

While they're talking, the train carried them out of London. They're speeding past fields full of flowers, cows and sheep. Seto and Ryou are having a quiet time, watching the fields and lanes pass by, while Marik, Yugi, Joey, and Harry kept on talking like a bunch of birds chirping around. Around five past one, a woman slid back their door and smiled while holding the cart full of goodies.

 

“Oh hello there! Would you like anything off the cart, dears?”

 

“Alright! Food! What'cha got there?” Joey asked.

 

Joey was ready to buy pop and lots of chocolates and chips, but the woman didn't have the snacks Joey was hoping for. Instead, there were lots of weird looking candies that Joey had never seen before. She has Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, Chocolate Frogs, Pumpkin Pasties Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, and a number of other strange candies.

 

“Err….are these candies??”

 

“Yep. Weird isn't it?” Harry said.

 

“We'll have some of everything miss.”

 

Harry paid the woman several pieces of Sickles and Knuts and gave everyone candies, except for Seto who didn't want anything. They're all stuffing themselves with the pumpkin pasties and cakes, until Marik opened up a box of every flavour beans. The beans are so colourful, it looks like Jellybeans, but Harry quickly warned him before he took a bite.

 

“You better be careful about those beans. When it says Every Flavour, it really means every flavour. Chocolates, carrots, bean sprouts, chicken, chilli, boogers….”

 

“Boogers?!” Joey asked.

 

“Yeah, Ron had a booger flavoured one before. There are even vomit flavours….”

 

“Blergh…why would anyone put that in the candy….?” Marik asked in disgust.

 

“I dunno, but it's quite fun.”

 

“Alright! I'll give it a shot!” Joey said in enthusiasm.

 

Joey took one blue bean and put it in his mouth. As he chews, he smiles.

 

“Mmmm…mint. Not bad for a first try.”

 

“Let me have a try. I bet I'll get chocolates.” Marik said.

 

But he didn't get chocolate. Instead, he bit off the corner of a brown bean and spat it out.

 

“Ah! I got chilli! Someone get me water!!”

 

Yugi took a green bean and it tasted like liver and Ryou is lucky enough to get chocolate flavour bean. They had so much fun eating the every flavour bean, until a door slid open.

 

“I can't believe you guys are having fun without us…” Ron said.

“Oh hey there Ron! We're just having fun eating the Every Flavour beans.” Yugi said.

 

“Yeah! I ended up with the good stuff, except for the time when I found the vomit flavour….” Joey said.

 

“Ewww….nasty…..”

 

“Anyways, you guys have to clean this place up. We're arriving at Hogwarts in a few minutes. You have to change into you school uniform.” Hermione said.

 

“Aww….I thought we're going to learn how to play Duel Monsters……”

 

“What took you guys so long anyways….?” Harry asked. He's also quite disappointed that they didn't have time to learn the game.

 

“It's all Ron's fault. He had a row with Malfoy again back in the Prefect carriage…..” Hermione explained.

 

“What happened?”

 

Oh you know. The insults and Ron tried to beat him up…”

 

“I would have punch him in the nose, but the other prefects stopped me, including Hermione…”

 

“Who's Malfoy?” Ryou asked.

 

Harry, Ron and Hermione explained how Draco Malfoy and his family are the meanest people in the world. They also explained how he thinks purebloods are superior and the fact that his family are still servants to Lord Voldemort (Ron flinched again when Harry says his name…)

 

“He reminds me of someone…” Joey said as he stares at Seto, who ignored him.

 

“Anyways, we better clean up. I think I can see Hogwarts from here….” Ryou said as he looks out the window.

 

Yugi, Marik, Joey, and Ryou took off their jackets and pulled on their long black robes. Seto took a while to put on his uniform, since he doesn't like it one bit. But he just wants to get this whole Hogwarts thing over with. Suddenly, the train came to a sudden halt. A voice echoed through the train: “We have arrived at Hogwarts. Please leave your luggage on the train; it will be taken to the school separately. Have a good term.”

 

Yugi's stomach lurched with nerve.

 

“This is it….we're here…”
