Wands and Duel Monsters
Wands and Duel Monsters
The year is 2009, the spring months. Sixteen year old Harry Potter was bored out of his mind. There were few duelists who played the game here in London, and the card game Duel Monsters, despite having knowledge about the history of the shadow magic and the Sennen Items. Okay... so he was not alone. There was Cassandra Black, Uncle Sirius' only daughter, who had to raise her ever since Claire had passed away when they were young. But still, there were few duelists in the United Kingdom, about 500 tops, unlike the rest of the world which is past that number or higher. And, he and Cassie were the only two duelists who were also a wizard and witch of the half-blood status. Other wizards and witches who played the game were mostly muggleborns and so far, only one pureblood who enjoyed the game...
Bored again?
Harry turned to see his Duel Spirit, Pretty Girl Maya, smiling brightly as she floated next to him.
Yes! I am so fucking bored out of my damn skull!
Well, there's no more business about the whole Shadow Magic business and the items had been sealed away for two years now... Yugi has been getting along fine now that Atemu was allowed to rest after his final duel.
Harry grunted, as he got off his desk chair, only to fall backwards onto his bed with a weary sigh.
Ever since I had met Yugi and the others, I had gotten involved in more affairs that the rest of the Wizarding World can ever understand...
And finding out you are a reincarnation of your past life, a faithful servant/friend named Leo is also shocking.
Harry agreed with her on that subject. But, the world is safe, and Duel Monsters still is the hottest game on the planet. He turns on the TV, just in time to notice a commercial describing the World Championship Tournament, which will for the first time be hosted in the United Kingdom.
"Holy shit!" He screamed, catching the attention of the house occupants, aka his family.
=0=0=
"Oh my god, we'll be able to see Yugi-kun and the others again!" Harry exclaimed happily later that afternoon. No one else knew what to say or how to speak up, but Sirius' daughter, who in a past life was a faithful servant/friend to the Pharaoh named Karasu, just squealed in a fangirl way.
"The Yugi-tachi back together again?" She asks.
"Oh hell yeah!"
"Damn! E-mail them Harry! Tell them that if they're coming to the UK we'll have them holed up here instead of some hotel!"
Harry cursed rather colorfully and rushed upstairs, before soon coming back downstairs with his laptop, and had it switched on. Once he had connected wirelessly to the net, he opened his Microsoft Outlook, and began writing up the emails.
"Hope to see Mokuba too. I heard he's become such a great duelist."
"Son, who are you talking about?" James asks, feeling very confused about who these strangers were his son and friend's daughter were talking about.
"Our friends from Japan!" They yelled.
"Sheesh Harry, your family just will never understand what we had to go through..."
"Well, they're ignorant," Harry said, hurting his parents' feelings. The next sentence he said was in Japanese, "they will never know what we had to go through when Bakura nearly got his wish two years ago." Silence lingered, and the only sounds were the clickity-clack of fingers on a keyboard, while Cassie settled her nerves by shuffling her cards without even looking at her deck.

Three days later, the United Kingdom, more importantly London, have been getting wave after wave of foreign people from all around the world. When Harry and Cassandra opened the door, the house had all magic removed so it resembled a muggle home, and no one in the house could do magic at all, which meant having to shut down all Floo Traffic going in and out of Potter Mansion. Of course, that was just because Harry's family thought Yugi and the others were muggles. They were in a sense, but having been around and having experienced magicks much more ancient and powerful than today's magical society...
"Yugi!" Harry and Cassie cheer, running and hugging the slightly taller teenager.
"Hey, what about us?" complained a blonde Japanese.
"Shaddup, Jonouchi!" They yelled but hugged every one of them. It was a happy reunion for them, after all.
Ever since Harry and Cassandra got hooked to that muggle card game, the two Ravenclaw students had since then introduced a card game concept into the Wizarding World. Lily could even remember that Slytherin student named Draco Malfoy had made himself a rival to her son in the Duel Monsters card game, which its first name was Wizards and Magic, or something along that former title. He was also the only pureblood student at Hogwarts that has taken such a high interest in the game. Now, while technology of muggle workings would simply flat-out die when in areas of magic, such as Hogwarts where the land is saturated with magical energy, a simple metal chip from a goblin shield is all it takes to protect it from magic, and even make it a nice magical shield.
"So, anything happen the past two years?"
"Harry and Mokuba are close buds," Cassie said with a Marauder grin.
"Kaiba's brother?" asked Anzu.
"Well, Mokuba has become a great duelist recently."
"Yeah, I also invited him here as well... so he should be arriving soon. You guys are a bit early though."
"We took an early flight," said Honda, "so, Harry, Cassie, what kind of foods you British usually enjoy?"
Everyone was led into the living room, while Lily, who had heard the Japanese boy ask in passable English for some food, went to prepare a muggle lunch. While they all were discussing the things that has been happening over the past two years since the Ceremonial Duel, there was a knock on the front door. Harry got up to answer, and cried out and glomped a now smirking Mokuba. Cassandra came rushing out, only for her to also attack Mokuba. The younger Kaiba was returning the hug to his two friends. The teenager was close to Harry's height, being just three inches shorter. His dark hair was still its same style as when he was much younger. Mokuba wore clothes that were his new trademark outfit.
The clothes the teen wears consists of a pair of satin silk pants, a grassy green with canary yellow stripes, and over that sturdy rugged orange jean shorts. The shirts was a bright yellow tee and over that a fishnet jersey. The shoes were made for mountain hiking, brown and black, with an orange cowboy vest left unzipped/unbuttoned. On the right breast was a buttoned pocket, which holds the emerald green KC logo stitched in Bradley Hand ITC font. He still carries with him his card locket around his neck, but now the leather cord is replaced with chain. The accessories on him was his Duel Disk, a chain connected to his belt which holds his Deck Case that is connected to the right loop on his pant leg, and his silver blue IPod.
"Harry! Cassie!"
"About damn time you showed up!"
Mokuba grinned cheekily. "Thanks for inviting me here. Seto didn't think I could be alone, but once I told him that you were offering me a place to stay, he agreed, just as long as I call him every so often."
"Well, come on in. Your room is next to mine. Say hello to everyone else."
"Wait, everyone else?"
Upon walking in, Mokuba got a greeting from the Yugi-tachi.

It was a great start to the city-wide tournament. It was like Battle City. In fact, the rules were the same, except the whole forfeit the card from the loser thing. You had to win a certain amount of points. When sixteen slots have been filled, the finals would then begin at Millennium Stadium in Wales. Each duelist with a USB Flashdrive starts with a single point downloaded into it (can also be kept for that person's own use when bought). The higher number you have, the more points you can wager, however there are certain rulings about point wagers before a duel such as high versus low. Unless both duelists accept, all points can be wagered. Each duelist would also start with eight thousand Life Points, and you can only have a maximum of fifteen Fusion-type monsters or less. Your deck can only be used if it's past the realm of thirty, but cannot exceed past sixty. You can attack with fusion monsters on the same turn summoned unless rules state otherwise. Other than that, kick ass and have fun.
That is exactly how Harry, Cassandra, Mokuba, and all others were doing. Even Draco Malfoy entered the tournament, a boy who Cassie had a crush on despite their school houses. Jonouchi had entered the tournament, hoping to be the best, and as usual, Yugi, who had grown more in his skills since Atemu's passing, still had the reputation as King of Games. In fact, there are various other duelists who have entered the tournament. Just now, Harry had finished his duel against Pegasus, and it was one of the more fun fuels he's had. Of course Pegasus is still in the duel as he only has two more points left, having lost four to increase Harry's four count to eight. Now, normally Harry and Cassandra would be back in school, but since the tournament was on, they couldn't very well just vanish otherwise it would be noticed. Besides, the tournament also shut down all schools in the area so that gave Harry, Cassie, and by proxy Draco, the excuse to not return to Hogwarts, which was a magical school. Dumbledore did not like it at all. And since half the muggleborn population was gone as well (many using the same excuse to duel either officially or just to skip out)...
Harry just wished the old man would kick the bucket already. Anyway, it's a Sunday afternoon on this tenth of May. Weekends are used to rest because weekdays are the Dueling Days during the tournament. Duels can still be issued, but they will not be official. And today, it felt like summer. An early heat wave is what it was described on the news. The occupants of the house were fighting ways to stay cool. Harry was in his room right now, clad in his large orange boxer shorts and one of his Shawn Michaels shirts (the one that's split at the sides with no sleeves). He was playing Metroid Prime 3 on the Wii, and trying to stay cool under the AC that Harry had put in his window was Mokuba, who was also down to the undershirt of his new trademarked outfit, and boxers that fit comfortably he had stolen from Harry's dresser. Harry was cursing his mouth off because Hyper Mode was basically kicking his ass. He was still stuck on Bryyo's first Leviathan Seed. Thanks to Mokuba of course, he now owns an AC Unit. There is also one in the living room, where everyone else was, playing Street Fighter IV on Cassie's Xbox 360.
"Damn it all!" Harry swore as he had gone into Terminal Corruption, for the third time just as he was about to finish the boss off.
Mokuba just watched, chuckling softly. "You should have stuck with Veteran Mode after finishing Normal Mode, before tackling Hyper Mode."
"Bite me, Mokuba-kun," he muttered, as he tries it again, only for Mokuba to grab his hands and hit the Home button on the Wii controller.
"You need to calm down," he whispered, making the slightly taller teen to blush at how close the smaller teen was. Considering their state of dress (then again, they're both guys and there's a heatwave in the middle of spring), Harry couldn't help but nod softly. He did need to clam down; he was close to breaking his wand out and cursing the game system. So, Mokuba snatches the controllers from him and Harry pouts, as Mokuba takes over the Wii. However Harry sits down, knees tucked close to rest his chin upon while the younger Kaiba is now playing The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess.
Downstairs, Honda was cheering after he had beaten Jonouchi of the sixth time in a row, this time using one of the female Street Fighters. Cassie, wearing one of her sports bras and comfortable-looking shorts, looked towards the stairs. "I wonder what Harry and Mokuba are doing..."
What they were doing is getting together after a full year of no contact. While Mokuba was playing, he had scooted up close to Harry until the taller teen was able to wrap his arms around the smaller teen. Mokuba was leaning up against Harry, just enjoying the feel of his lover. Harry and Mokuba two years ago met during the whole business with the Orichalcos. And beforehand, had a brief tango with a Malfoy adult who considered himself Lucius Malfoy's brother exiled from the family. Last year, they started dating, though both were still a bit shy on their feelings as they felt attracted to each other. But right now though, being alone in the room, door closed and locked, they took advantage of the situation. The game had been abandoned soon enough; on pause when Harry wanted just one kiss from the younger Kaiba... this kiss which Mokuba turned into a full-on snog session.

Harry's parents returned the next day, only to find an empty house. Then, Lily remembered that tournament was still going on. Right now, it was weird because half the school was missing its student population and only purebloods and halfbloods remained. The entire student muggleborn population but herself were gone. Oh, and that Draco Malfoy child as well.
"James dear, I'm going to the local mart."
"Okay Lily-flower," he replied, giving her a small kiss.
She carried with her the white purse with the stitching of lilies on it, and left the house. One block from the house is as far as she went, before she felt a cloth move over her mouth, and the towel soaked with chloroform knocked her out. The unknown figure then drags the unconscious woman into the alley. No one saw a thing. Somewhere in one of the busier sections of London, with traffic down except the highways, and many streets closed off due to the tournament, there was one such duel going on right now. Mokuba was in a duel against Insector Haga, or rather he was finishing up this duel. Injection Angel Mokuba flew across the field, with double the power, and had eliminated Haga's most prized insect card, thus dropping the points down to zero.
"No! Damn it!" The Japanese insect lover cursed, as the crowds cheered for the spectacular duel.
Mokuba grinned, as Haga's points he's wagered on a dare left him with nothing, and boosted Mokuba up by twelve points. Harry smiled as the two walked off, leaving Haga on his knees crying in his defeat. He soon pulled Mokuba into an alleyway, hidden behind one of the clean dumpsters and brought his lips to the other teen's lips. Mokuba moaned, and stuck his tongue out, as the green-eyed teen let his hand drop down to Mokuba's crotch.
The two part and Harry opened his eyes, the bright green staring into dark orbs with its own hidden light. "Mokuba-kun... I can't wait until later..."
"I know, but we can't do it out here, someone may catch us and we'll get in trouble. If the news media finds out that the upcoming heir to the Kaiba fortune is caught in a relationship with another guy... they'll harp on this-"
He was silenced by another kiss, and Mokuba melted into the taller teen's embrace. "Then, just a small treat... please?" he begged, lust lingering in his voice.
"Harry-kun," he groaned, panting a bit.
He was starting to get really warm deep inside. His teenage hormones were starting to wild up again. Harry smiled unbuttoning the pants and then undoes the zipper. Mokuba closed his eyes, enjoying the sensations running in his body now that they were going to get really adult here. Before Harry could slowly, with a tease, begin to fully get into the action, his cellphone beeped, causing Mokuba to scowl at the interruption. Harry pulled away, licking his lips while pulling out the cellphone. If someone was nearby, Mokuba had now gotten himself looking presentable with Harry getting up from his squatting position. Harry nearly swore loudly, though now Mokuba could see a spark of anger in his lover's eyes. He looked from those green eyes to the cellphone screen, displaying a text message.
I have Lily. - C.M.

"Charter Malfoy has my mother..."
"Malfoy? You mean that guy who was arrested for trying to get Mokuba?"
"Have no clue, but he has abducted my mum... can you guys help me, like old times sake?"
Yugi nodded. "Don't worry Harry, we'll help rescue Mrs. Potter."
"Yeah, no evil bastard's going to get away with this!" Jonouchi exclaimed, Honda agreeing.
"Good. I heard that Otogi and Rebecca are in London, part of the tournament. Can one of you guys contact them and Mai as well?"
"I can do that," said Jonouchi, since he had Mai's number.
"Rebecca wouldn't be much of a problem, same with Otogi," said Anzu.
"I can also call Seto if you want me to," Mokuba pipes up.
"Th more help the better... can't really trust Charter to pull off something dangerous that resembles a Shadow Game..."
Meanwhile, a similar conversation took place but it was between members of the Order of the Phoenix. It had been two hours since Lily had left, and then he had received a black letter that told him that Lily was captured, and once the kidnapper had killed Harry and his friends, he would then kill his wife. He had immediately gone to Dumbledore, who had assembled the Order of the Phoenix. Two different companies would meet head-on, and the only person who could ultimately save Lily Potter was her own son... the young man who had a hatred gazed on him by the deranged exiled Malfoy.
=0=0=
Night has fallen in London, but Seto was able to make it to London, using the Blue-eyes White Jet of course with the Hyper Engines used. Mai, Otogi, Rebecca were all there, and even Malik, Isis, and Rashid were there, having come to be a part of the tournament. Harry had his friends from Japan, and people who would support him. After all, both he and Cassie were once tied to the whole Sennen Item business... it's like old times... He also had Mokuba, who silently gave him all the support he would need. On the other side of the abandoned multi-floor warehouse, was the Order of the Phoenix.
"Now Lillian," spoke an aristocratical voice, "do not fret. Your son is the one person I am truly after. Using his mother as bait just speeds the process."
"What do you want with my darling little Harry?" She yelled tears streaming down her face. She was shackled up, and below her was a bed of sharp blades, ready to skewer her if the chains were to ever unlock.
"Your darling little son is the cause of my first defeat... two years ago... then again; you, your husband, nor the rest of your friends and family ever knew what he had gone through, and what he did to me two years ago. Tell me; are you familiar with the Orichalcos?"
"No... What is that?"
"I am sure you do know. After all... two years ago the world was nearly wiped out by the green magic and the giant beast that rose from the ocean depths itself. Your son was there... he was ultimately involved when both he and your friend's daughter had defeated two unnamed men to save their souls, before being saved by Yugi and his friends. However the reason I want him is because of what he did to me. Two years ago, six months after the Orichalcos incident, stopped me from killing the Kaiba's younger brother. I was arrested and put in prison, but now I had finally escaped. I want my revenge, and this time, he shall fall!"
The laugh that left the deranged man brought shivers down Lily's back.
The Order had to disguise themselves because muggles were in the area. The only reason Moody did not immediately cast Muggle-Repelling Wards was because James and his oldest son Chase, caught sight of Harry, and Sirius saw his daughter with them. And then, several robed men burst from around, and attacked. The muggles however fought back, as James saw his son, Cassandra, that Mokuba boy, and the other teenagers slip past the surprise ambush, heading up the nearby staircase. They followed with invisibility charms over them.
Upon reaching the doors, they were kicked open, and Harry, with an anger James, his brother or his uncles, ever heard from the sometimes quiet Ravenclaw, scream with vengeance. "CHARTER MALFOY!"
The now identified Malfoy, which was a complete surprise to the invisible Order of the Phoenix, merely turned around, revealing himself. He looked almost like a clone of Lucius Malfoy, a Death Eater who is still rotting away in Azkaban to this day.
"Harry Potter... I am glad you made it, and look; you brought your friends and your boyfriend too. How are you, dear Mokuba?"
The people who stuck with Harry were Mokuba, Anzu, Yugi, Rebecca, Isis, and Cassandra. The ones left to fight the ambushers were Seto, Malik, Rashid, Mai, Jonouchi, Otogi, and Honda.
"Boyfriend?" Yugi questioned, now looking between Mokuba and Harry.
Lily was stunned at this, but Charter merely chuckled.
"Didn't think I would know? I have been watching you for two years, just waiting for the right time to strike..."
Harry just glared even more.
"Let her go..."
"I don't think so... after all... you have to win her freedom..." He removes the black robes he wore, revealing a dark green and black suit with crimson tie. Also, he wore a Duel Disk, "you have to defeat me in a duel..."
Harry switches on his own Duel Disk, despite his mother's warnings. She was after all gagged with a handkerchief. Charter smiled. He too was armed with his wand tonight, but it would be much sweeter to end this boy's life with one card he holds in his deck.
"Hey Cassie," Anzu spoke up, "why not just use your magic wand and take him out or something?"
"No... I'm still under the law of my world underaged. Until I turn seventeen next month, using my wand unless it's in self defense and I am attacked first is a punishable crime against me," Cassie told the young woman, much to the shock of their invisible audience behind them.
"What about the power of Karasu?" Yugi questions.
"After the Pharaoh was laid to rest, Karasu and Leo's inner power seemed to have faded away. We still however have our Duel Monster spirits Kochi and Maya."
Harry and Charter stared one another off, Duel Disks ready, and Life Points reset to eight thousand. Both had drawn five cards from their decks.

"I will go first since I have all the control. Now, if you win this duel, which I highly doubt, your mum is free. Lose, and the chains will release, and she gets skewered, while below you, the bombs I rigged will cause an explosion... and if you don't die from that, getting a thick spike tearing through your chest from the floor below WILL!" He cackled, as he places two cards facedown, and had summoned Freeshooter of the Mind (4/1600/1800) in attack mode, "oh, and your mother will still die."

"Fucking bastard!" The sixteen year old yelled, "My move!" He drew.
Excellent! This will help me. This combo never gets old...
"Now, first I activate these cards. Cost Down and Monster Reborn! By discarding one card from my hand, I can then summon a level reduced monster to the field, and I choose my always helpful mage, Maya!" The younger sister of Black Magician Girl emerged with a flourishing entrance, taking stance before her partner.
"And now, you're very lucky. I had just finally received these new cards to upgrade my deck, and you are the first to see it in action. With Monster Reborn, I bring back to the field Salazar's Cunning Slytherin (7/2500/3000)!" Charter Malfoy's eyes nearly bugged out from his head, as in a swirl of green magical dust emerged the fourth founder of Hogwarts School, Salazar Slytherin himself. The handsome young mascot of Slytherin House smiled a devil's smile, slowly taking out his finely crafted wand. He turned to Harry, and flicked his wand, and a card pops out from the graveyard slot, which Harry takes and adds back to his hand.

"Salazar's special effect allows me to take back one spell or trap card from my deck, and add it to my hand... and now... I attack your monster! Maya, eliminate that fiend of his now, and Salazar, follow her attack with Bombarda!"
Maya smiled and unleashed her Heart Slash attack, eliminating the fiendish monster.
"Bombarda!" Salazar chanted, unleashing a blast of orange light which impacted Charter, sending him to his knees. But, Charter smiled grimly and revealed one of his traps.

Harry grunted as an invisible force strikes him, also sending him down to one knee. Charter cackled softly. "Pain Split redirects the last battle damage directed to me, and you suffer equal damage to your Life Points, Harry... but you know what?" He stands up, and pulls out his wand. With a wave, the Order was revealed to everyone on the roof, "Let's make sure none of our other guests hide from you and your magic-dealing friends, hm? Now, LEO, try and defeat me now that the rest of your family is here, questioning if they truly knew who their son was."
"Fuck you!" He swears.
Charter draws a card.
"Back at ya, bitch. Now... you all remember the Orichalcos? Right?" He turns one card in his hand, and revealed the dreaded green circle, causing the Yugi-tachi to gasp in horror, "I activate its magical power! The Seal of Orichalcos! Let its ancient magic be reborn once again!" He laughed insanely as a sudden pulse of dread radiates through the air. A green glow slowly emerged as a runic circle, until it spreads into a large circle to engulf the playing field. Lily was dangerously close to the field's edge, and everyone else got sealed out of the duel now. The star had formed its dreaded icon on the ground, and flashes once more before the same seal now marks the man's forehead, turning his eyes a soft red.
"What is going on here?" James muttered. He, and the other Order members, was very confused. Severus who stood next to a shocked Minerva didn't know what to make of the only Potter that he very much enjoyed having in his Potions class, and the same went towards Black's daughter Cassandra.

"No... Not this again," Harry whispered in fright. He and Cassie had barely escaped the Orichalcos the last time its troubles brewed, and involved them into the whole bullshit.
"Now, I summon to the field Vanguard of Dark World, Beiige (4/1600/1300) in Attack Mode!"
The monster appeared, and cried out with power as the seal, its ancient magicks that still filters from the card that Charter has in possession increasing the Fiend's overall attack strength. Next, Charter activates Black Pendant, and gave his monster five hundred more points.

"How? When the Orichalcos was destroyed, all of those cards should have been gone as well!" Yugi yelled.
"Well Yugi, its quiet simple, really... finding a sealed off warehouse with few copies of these cards, I got them all... I was hoping to spread them in the tournament after I had killed Harry Potter for putting me in prison two years ago. Now... however, I can't make sure all of you leave here with your lives intact... Beiige, destroy his bitch now!"
The armored demon roared, as he leaps into the air, ready to cleave the mage in two with its wicked blade. All of a sudden, Salazar takes his wand, aims, and fires a reddish black spell, which shattered the necklace it wore. Harry, with the trap's effect Illegally-Made Wand now done for, watched as Maya counter attacked, and eliminated Beiige.

"That was just luck, but that won't help you next time around, fool!"
He ends his turn, allowing Harry to draw. "Good. I activate Cross Out! I now tribute from my hand Sir Metaknight, allowing Maya access to Cross Mode: Knight Cross (8/3300/3000)!" Even after the flashy transformation sequence, Maya was now decked in her new armored form, wielding Metaknight's fabled sword, the wind gently fluttering her cape. Just for fun, she even takes out the Star Warrior's mask, and wore it.

"You are done for!"
Harry commands the attack. Charter didn't have any cards to counter, and thus lost. And as the result, the spell's ancient magicks pulled, ripping his soul out, but not before he had pressed a hidden button on his modified Duel Disk. Lily screamed as the chains released, but she stopped before Dumbledore could save the woman. The one who stopped her fall was Salazar himself, who levitated her away from the bed of spikes before the seal shrank from his position, thus returning him back to a corporeal hologram form. The seal faded, and Malfoy is now comatose...
The card which now holds him in bondage forever was caught in the wind, and flying against one of those sharp swords, cleaves it in half. The duel Disk shuts off, and Maya returned to being but a spirit next to her partner as Harry and the others ran to Lily. Isis, who luckily kept several extra hair pins, creates a skeleton key to try and unshackle one of the other chained shackles that still kept her bonded. The others had showed up, but then James turned Harry around as Sirius did to Cassie.
"What the hell is going on, son?" The man demanded.
"Something you will never understand," Harry replied coldly, making James take a step back.
"Harry, it is over. We'll find the rest of these cards and turn them over to the authorities. Pegasus will wish to also know as well," Isis tells the teenager. When Mokuba grasped Harry's hand in his own pair, the emerald-eyed teen calm down and then looked back to his mother. He could see the questions she wants to know. Yes, Charter was right about one thing: his family and relatives never knew the real Harry Potter and Cassandra Black, and Charter, through his spying, had unearthed one of his secrets that he was gay, and currently dating Mokuba Kaiba.
"Harry..."
Harry turned around and held Mokuba close giving him a light kiss.
"Charter may be done for, but there's still his partner in crime, Gregory Rain..."
Cassie flinched, which her father noticed. "Him? Damn it..."
"What about this Rain person? How do you know of him?" Sirius questioned his daughter, "and why did you break the statue of secrecy to the muggles? We have to destroy their memories now."
"You will do no such thing," spoke Isis, as she now stood, helping Lily off the ground now that she was free from the shackled chains, "because we all have dealings with magical forces long before you ever knew. My family has existed for generations, tracing our ancestral heritage to the days of Ancient Egypt. Besides, Bill Weasley here knows me well, right, Mr. Weasley?"
The Gringots Curse Breaker nodded softly, still not believing that this was the same woman he had met in 1993.
"Is this true, Mr. Weasley?" Dumbledore questioned.
"Yes... she works as a curator at one of the museums in Cairo. Back then, she was much younger, but I do remember her face anywhere..."
"Back then you wanted to find out about any ancient magical sources your evil sorcerer may take an interest to, but thankfully he never did because it would have been bad of your Tom Riddle had ever gained the powers of the Shadow Realm, however so... none of you will not do us any harm... The pharaoh may be gone, but Leo and Karasu still remain even with faded power."
She then looked to Harry, who kept Mokuba close in his arms, ignoring the light glare coming from his father for being a pouf.
"When did you meet these people? I want an answer now," James said.
"Two years ago, when we snuck out of school... we met these two nobody duelists who wanted to prove something to their master by taking our souls with the Orichalcos... that was when not only our spirits saved us, but our powers awakened, and we gained the strength of Leo and Karasu, two faithful servants and friends of the Ancient Pharaoh... through them, we left, and located the Pharaoh, who at the time was but a spirit within Yugi... and then six months later while we were still classified as missing, Mokuba here was attacked by Charter, who I had met a year beforehand, and saved Mokuba while putting Malfoy in prison..."
"We got to know the Yugi-tachi from then on, and for two years, we have been friends since. I knew Harry and Mokuba saw something in one another so I said nothing. I told him that I understand and would fully support his decisions, as he would for me..."
"Though why have a crush on my rival is beyond me." And she smacks him upside the head, blushing.
"Don't talk about Draco-kun that way!"
"We had a long night... we should head back to your place Harry and get some rest... still got more tournament battles to win and all."
"Yeah," Harry chuckled.
"NO! I will not have you come back home, Harry! I will not allow it!"
Harry turned around, and so did all of his friends. "Hey... even if it is a bit of a shock, I don't think you should-"
"Quiet! He is no son of mine!"
Harry stared in shock, as he suddenly felt a stabbing pain inside of him. Mokuba grasped Harry now, as the green-eyed teen looked ready to buckle. Seto glared dangerously and got right up into James' face.
"Look you... for two years, I had a feeling that my little brother was going to be more than just friends with your son... and I accepted it. But to say such words pisses me off."
"I will not accept that my son is gay. He's supposed to be dating girls, not boys."
Seto's lips curled into a tight frown, and you could just see that spark of anger in the older man's eyes. "Then your son is welcomed to stay at our mansion back in Japan. Harry, pack your things, I'll have then stored away in the jet when I return back home. In the meantime, I'll also contact one of the hotels for you folks to stay at until then."
"T-Thank you, Seto," Harry whispered, as he tried to get rid of his tears, but could not. He was afraid this would have happened... he knew all along that his father would not accept him for who he was.
"Cassandra, we're going home," said Sirius.
"And we still need to obliviate their memories," said Moody, taking his wand out again. That made Harry snap. A vivid aura of power sprung around him, just as a similar one erupted around Cassie, before the waves of magic rolled off them, smashing into the Order, but leaving their friends unharmed.
"You will do no such thing!" Harry spoke, his voice etched with a deeper meaning, a tinge of power.
"You will not harm those we protect, long after the passing of our king!" Cassandra commands.
Both raise their hands, facing the adults.
"With our protection, shall our powers shield our loved ones and our friends from the magicks of which you wield; may our love forever weave our life strings together, to shield us all from your suffering! Wizards, be gone from our sight! Your magicks shall harm us no longer!"
A brilliant flare of light erupted, blinding all. When Dumbledore first regained his vision... the Order of the Phoenix were somehow back in Number Twelve Grimmauld Place. The teenagers however were not there...

The next day, the tournament was up and running yet again, like a business day. However, in the homes of the Potters, Lily was hoping to talk to her son, but found his room completely empty. Nothing except the carpeting was left. Her son had indeed left the house. She had screamed and yelled at James for his foolish action, blaming James that he had driven their youngest son away from their life. Kaiba did live up to his promise. He had several workers from the English branch of Kaiba Corp, which was built after a hostile takeover of this drill company once owned by a Vernon Dursley six years ago, come and take much of Harry's other belongings that would not fit into his jet, and was to be shipped to the Kaiba Mansion in Japan, while he took many of Harry's other personal belongings and held onto them himself until Harry was able to come to his new temporary residence. For Cassandra, she had packed up her suitcases with her clothes, belongings, and all other things, before leaving as well. She too would be living with Harry in Japan. However soon enough, the tournament ended with all slots filled. The tournament was stopped for a one month break, before all final participants are to return and head to the Millennium Stadium in Wales.
Harry woke up with a yawn, and noticed Mokuba clung to him. He smiled softly. He had to get use to Japan... sure he knew Japanese, but it was rough-going for awhile, especially since he and Cassandra dropped out of Hogwarts. They only had one more year until they would graduate, but they couldn't see that coming now. Thankfully, there was another school here, the Imperial School of Magical Arts. This was a school that Draco recommended to Cassie when she asked Draco if he, or his mother Narcissia, would know of any magical school they could attend in Japan. Draco got a bit of a watered down version, and didn't show any disgust when he learned that his rival in the Duel Monsters game was dating the younger brother of the multimillionaire Seto Kaiba, owner of Kaiba Corporation. In fact he ranted about Harry's father being too damn stupid going overboard over one little detail about Harry's love life.
The Imperial School of Magic was more than happy to accept Harry and Cassie. As all magical schools were different, they had a bit more school days than Hogwarts, but they did follow after the schooling days of all oriental schools public and private. Not to mention those dress codes...
"Mokuba," Harry whispered softly, leaning close and began to kiss the boy. Mokuba responded to the kiss, though once their lips part a yawn escaped.
"Mmm, that was one hell of a wake-up call," he muttered, a smile on his face.
Harry grinned, as he moves his hand down Mokuba. "I would say... someone's really happy to see me."
"Harry, don't tease me," he whined cutely. Harry swoops down and kissed him, and Mokuba returned it, using a bit of tongue while he himself dug into Harry's pyjama bottoms and grasped his morning wood.
"It's been so long since we last were able to physically be together... I need you right now," Mokuba commanded. And Harry obeyed his lover.
Soon, the room is fulled with lusting passion.
"A full year... god I missed this feeling," Harry groaned.
"Oh yeah Harry... oh..."
In the bedroom across from Mokuba's, Cassandra woke up yawning almost unlady like. Of course, being a bit of a tomboy, she wouldn't care less. What did wake her up was the cries that Mokuba was letting loose.
"Mmm, can't a girl get any sleep here?" she muttered, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
