Chapter 13:- Turbans, Diaries and Dragons
Hermione hadn't returned with Harry and Ron for a very good reason, her Polyjuice potion had ended up with a cat's hair in instead of the hair of the Slytherin girl it was supposed to have and because of this she was in the hospital wing for several weeks, so she wasn't in the Gryffindor Common Room the day Kari and Ombre returned from spending the Summer at Kari's parent's house.
"How was your Christmas?" Harry asked as Kari collapsed into a comfortable chair by the fire.
"We learnt something new." Kari answered, closing her eyes as Ombre joined her by spreading out on the sofa nearby.
"Oh yeah, what's that?" Joey asked, puzzled.
"Men with turbans are nothing but trouble." Ombre growled, staring at the ceiling.
"Men with turbans?" Harry and Ron asked at the same time.
"Why? What happened?" Yugi's interest peaked.
"Yeah, first Quirrell and now some Egyptian guy with two Millennium Items!" Kari answered, opening one eye and staring at Yugi.
Yugi jumped, "You mean Shadi? What is he doing here?"
"I was not impressed, he tried to enter my mind." Kari replied, closing her eye and Ombre smirked slightly.
"Tried?"
"Well he couldn't get past Mana." Joey snorted in laughter at that. "Then he started to rant about how he was supposed to make sure the Millennium Items went to the right owners and how could he do this if monsters kept him from doing his duty. He did have a warning though, apparently our destinies have changed now that the spirits have their own bodies. But he wouldn't tell me how." Kari yawned.
"How can you be tired? You've just finished the Christmas Holidays!" Joey said, looking at Kari in surprise. Yugi was worried though.
"What do you mean 'our destinies have changed'?"
"That's what he said, right before he said he'd see you and the Pharaoh during the holidays since he was unable to trace us once we were at Hogwarts."
"He'd see us?" Yugi grimaced, every time Shadi came to see them things weren't good and trouble was often hanging around.
"Yeap, again didn't give any more info." Ombre said, rolling over so she could see the group clearly, "Questions. Where's Hermione and why was Bakura looking at us like he wanted to mutilate people?" Ron settled into explaining and Kari smirked when she heard what Yugi had done to Malfoy.
"OK, over reaction admittedly but do you realise that that means you won the bet we made last year, Yugi?"
Yugi looked at her, while Ron had been explaining Kari had opened her eyes and was now watching Yugi attentively, "I do?"
"Yeap, first one to Shadow Game Malfoy got an all you can eat buffet on me." Kari laughed, "And no one got a chance last year."
"You never did say how life with your parent's was." Joey said, changing the subject after seeing the look on Yugi's face.
"Torture…"

A couple of weeks later the gang were on their way back from dropping off Hermione's homework, Ron and Hermione had had an argument over the fact Hermione was sleeping with a 'Get Well card' from Lockheart, under her pillow.
"Ahhh, how much homework can one teacher give?" Joey yelled, thinking of all the homework Snape had set them.
"I think it's probably his way of paying the whole of Gryffindor house back for Yugi and Malfoy's 'fight' over the Christmas Holidays." Harry said, he could hear someone cursing loudly. "That's Filch isn't it?" He asked as they went up the stairs and out of sight. They stopped and listened hard.
"You don't think someone else has been attacked, do you?" Ron asked tersely.
"No, the dragons would have tried to warn us." Ombre answered with more confidence then she felt. They heard Filch's footsteps recede and then a distant door slammed. They poked their heads round the corner, Filch had been patrolling his usual post, and they saw at a glance what he'd been ranting about. A huge flood of water was spread over half the corridor, and was still seeping from under the door of Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. Now Filch had stopped shouting they could hear Moaning Myrtle's wails.
"Now what's up with her?" Ron asked. Joey shrugged, confused.
"Let's go see." Harry said, and holding their robes up, the entire group stepped through the puddle and into the bathroom. It was dark and the floor was soaked. "What's up, Myrtle?"
"Who's that?" Glugged Myrtle miserably, "Come to throw something else at me?"
Harry waded over to her cubicle and said, "Why would I throw something at you?"
"DON'T ASK ME!" Myrtle shouted, emerging from the toilet with a wave of yet more water, drenching Yugi, who'd followed Harry, in the process. "Here I am, minding my own business, and someone thinks it's funny to throw a book at me…"
"But it can't hurt you if someone throws something at you," Said Harry reasonably, "It would go right through you wouldn't it?" Joey in the meantime was trying not to laugh at Yugi whose robes were soaked, and his spiky hair was drooping, the proverbial drowned rat.
Unfortunately Harry had said the wrong thing; Myrtle had puffed herself up and was shrieking at him, "Let's all throw books at Myrtle because she can't feel it! Ten points if you get it through her stomach! Fifty points if it goes through her head! Well, ha ha, a lovely game, I don't think!"
"Who threw it?" Yugi asked; ignoring the debate that was now going on between Ron and Joey about how many points you'd get for throwing things through various parts of Moaning Myrtle and the fact Joey was trying not to laugh at the fact he was soaked.
"I don't know, I was just sitting in the U-bend thinking about death and it fell right through my head," Said Myrtle, glaring at him, "It's over there, it got washed out."
Harry and Yugi looked over to the sink where Myrtle was pointing. A small, thin, black book lay there. It was shabby and as wet as everything else in the bathroom. Ombre stepped forward to pick it up, and Ron and her got into an argument why she shouldn't pick it up. Kari sighed and, ignoring Ron's complaints, picked up the book. "We won't know, if we don't look."
It was a diary, and the faded year on the cover told her it was fifty years old. She opened it eagerly, and on the front page she could just about make out the name, T.M. Riddle in smudged ink."
"Hang on," Joey said, who'd approached cautiously and was looking over Kari's shoulder, "I know that name, they got an award for special services to the school fifty years ago."
"How'd you know that?" Kari asked, surprised.
"Because Filch made me shine that one for an hour." Joey growled, "If you'd been polishing something for an hour you'd remember the name too."
The pages were completely blank and Kari put it down on the sink next to her. Harry picked it up and pocketed it, noticing that the diary had been brought from a muggle shop meaning Riddle must have been muggle-born. Ron had spotted him pick it up and spoke to him quietly as they left, "Fifty points if you can get it through Myrtle's nose." Harry waited but didn't throw it, catching up with his friends as they went back up the stairs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the first Saturday of February, Hermione left the hospital wing de-whiskered, tail-less and fur-free. They planned to celebrate in the Common Room and were just about to say the password to open the portrait when Kaiba rushed past franticly, knocking Yugi over as he passed. Yugi groaned and sat up, as Kaiba stopped. "Oi, mutt, tell me you've seen the hatchlings."
"Oh of course I've seen them, it's not like anyone can keep me away, even if someone keeps trying."
"I mean, have you seen the hatchlings since they disappeared around lunchtime?"
"What? They're missing? We gotta find them!" Joey panicked, "Where have you searched so far?"
"The entire wing for the Monsters, Ravenclaw house, Mokuba's checked Gryffindor house, the Hufflepuffs have searched their house, the Slytherins were rude to me," Kaiba scowled, "But say they don't have one of the hatchlings, though I'm not inclined to believe them… Kisara, Shadowfae and Tobias have all gone looking for them, the fuzzball was with you and Mana won't leave the Dark Magician's side."
Does anyone else notice he used the names of all the other monsters but Yugi and Yami? Kari thought, "Did you search the girl's side of Ravenclaw's dorms?"
"No, I had the girls do it for me." Kari laughed at this.
Mistress, we have a visitor here, she just flew in the window. Mana called to Kari.
"Well are you going to help or not?" Kaiba growled, "There's still the classrooms to search and the grounds and I don't have a clue how many more rooms there are in this place, I'm sure more appeared this year just to annoy me!"
"Found one!" Kari declared loudly, Joey and Kaiba both almost jumped her.
"Where?"
"Where do you think? She's in the infirmary."
"Ok, tell Mana to keep an eye on her until we can find the others." Kaiba directed. Kari nodded and relayed the message to Mana, who said she would. Then the gang scattered to look for the baby dragons.
Kaiba dashed down the stairs, and nearly crashed into Professor Snape who had something rather large and silver in his arms, "You found one!"
"Mr Kaiba, I suggest you teach this troublesome creature not to enter unless invited, and to stay out of my classrooms and office, next time it may get into trouble, as it was you're lucky I check my cauldron before getting started."
Joey rushed down to Hagrid's hut, the door was wide open and Hagrid poked his head out, "Ah Joey, glad ter see yer."
"Hagrid, have you seen the hatchlings?"
"Yeah, my little beauty flew down here 'bout lunch time. Dunno where the others are though." The hatchling poked it's head out of Hagrid's huge coat, and stared at Joey.
Just then they heard laughter coming from near the Whomping Willow. Joey rushed over and saw Yugi having trouble with the tree, and a little silver hatchling in it's branches. A bunch of Slytherins were laughing at him as he tried to get close enough to grab the baby dragon.
"Come down here now!" Yugi shouted. The hatchling looked at him and spread it's wings.
No, It shouted telepathically, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Yugi grimaced. The Slytherins started laughing again. Yugi looked around and spotted Joey.
"Oh good, Joey, help." Yugi called, Joey ran over, "I think the tree likes it there, at least it's not trying to get rid of it and it won't let me anywhere near the hatchling."
"Do you know who's it is?" Joey asked, trying to get a good look at the hatchling, who was still 'shouting' that one word.
"It's Kaiba's, but I don't know how to get it out the tree." Yugi growled, the mental shouting was beginning to get on his nerves, "I think it only know how to say no. You think it'll listen to Kaiba?" Joey shrugged, and the tree lashed out at them, causing them to have to retreat further away and the Slytherins to laugh again.
"Or it's parents." Added Joey. He looked up as he heard a dragons roar he recognised all too well. Blue Eyes flew over the school and landed just out of reach of the tree.
Troublesome hatchling, come down now or it's no pudding for you. She called, however the no's continued. So Kisara tried a different tactic, Tree, I want my hatchling back. I promise to get rid of the meddlesome pests infesting your bark.With these words the tree paused in it's attempts to clobber Yugi and Joey and a single branch grabbed the hatchling and handed it over.
The hatchling continued to shout, No! over and over again apart from a small What? As the tree first grabbed him.
The search continued until Dinnertime for the last hatchling, but the charcoal black remained unfound. By that point everyone was tired and hungry and even Kaiba was willing to stop and grab something to eat. Everything was quiet until the deserts arrived on the tables. Then there was a small mental cry of Pudding! As a black blur shot down from the ceiling to land on the High Table and landed in…
A large bowl of rice pudding.
Snape was the only one who reacted quickly enough to stop himself from being covered in pudding by quickly hitting the floor as it dived. However the rest of the staff at the High Table was coated. After many minutes of silence the small dragon looked up and noticed Snape was the only teacher who hadn't gotten a share of the pudding. Joey gasped and got to his feet, rushing up to the High Table as the charcoal black dived on top of Snape, coating the Potion's teacher in Rice Pudding.
Joey pulled his dragon off, it was looking extremely pleased with itself as Dumbledore sent the pudding back to the kitchen. No more? Not my fault! Where's pudding? PUDDING! He shouted as he noticed that while the High Table no longer had any the house tables did and the little black dragon escaped Joey's grasp and got some height before dived onto the nearest table… Slytherin.
The dragon landed in that bowl of rice pudding too, coating Malfoy, Bakura, Crabbe and Goyle, as well as any Slytherin surrounding them. Bakura got to his feet and picked the dragon up by the tail, wheeling around to face Joey, the dragon bit him, causing Bakura to let go, and flew out of the way of the many hands that were trying t catch him and landed on the Hufflepuff table where no one was expecting him.
The Hufflepuffs had caught on by this point and those nearest the rice pudding dived out of the way as it landed, Ryou tried to grab it as it took off again, but to no avail, as it dived onto the Gryffindor table, and Yugi got coated but managed to grab the little dragon. Pudding! The dragon called, licking it off of Yugi who smiled. You nice boy, you have chocolate, can I have some? Please? I be good! Give me chocolate! I'll be good! The dragon pleaded with Yugi. The small boy looked up at Joey.
Yugi laughed and pulled a chocolate frog out of his pocket, how the dragon had known it was there he had no idea, but he extracted a promise from the dragon. "You'll be good?"
Yeap. Me good dragon. Not like No.
"No?" Yugi asked, confused. The dragon began to chant, No. no. no, no, no. "Oh that No." Joey smiled gratefully at Yugi as he lead the little charcoal black out the great hall. As they got into the main hall, Yugi handed over the chocolate and the dragon snapped it up. Tired now. Sleepy. Go home? Yugi smiled and nodded, the sleepy hatchling fell asleep in Yugi's arms. He carried the dragon up to the monster's wing.
Harry showed Hermione the diary that evening, but she was convinced it was blank. Harry kept it anyway.
"How was your Christmas?" Harry asked as Kari collapsed into a comfortable chair by the fire.
"We learnt something new." Kari answered, closing her eyes as Ombre joined her by spreading out on the sofa nearby.
