Chapter 6: - Dragon Eggs and a Foolish Mistake
October came around and the cold and damp that came with it put halt to Kari's swimming lessons for the yamis. Not that it was easy to get Yami down to the lake to swim, he had something against water and she had no idea what. Probably the same thing he had against flying, as it was, a week before Halloween, Kaiba came up to the Gryffindor table and spoke to the group quietly. "Kari, I heard about Malfoy insulting you at the Gryffindor Quidditch trials, don't worry, he won't be insulting you any longer." Kaiba turned away from the table.
"Yes!" Yami crowed. Kaiba turned around.
"What was that about?" Yami didn't say anything and tried to look innocent, something he couldn't quite pull off. However Joey landed him in trouble by saying.
"Ok Yami, you win the bet."
"You were betting on me?" Kaiba growled. He snorted, "At least you had the decency to win." And with that he turned and went back to the Ravenclaw table.
Later on that day, they were sat up in the Gryffindor Common Room when they heard something that made them stop what ever they were doing.
"WHEELER!" Kaiba yelled at the top of his voice, the sound audible at the highest point of the castle. Joey gulped.
"What have I done this time?" Yami and the Dark Magician gave him a sympathetic look, Kaiba had been worse towards Joey since the little accident when Red Eyes and Blue Eyes had been… interested in each other. "Should I go and find out?"
"Do you value your life?" Ombre asked, flipping a card face up and annoying Kari with a Mystical Space Typhoon to blast away Kari's Magic Cylinder, Kari's Dark Magician Girl blew a raspberry at Ombre, making Kari laugh.
"Yes…"
"Then I wouldn't if I were you."
Joey was chased around the castle by Kaiba all day, from the moment he left the Gryffindor Common Room to go to class right up until he lost him at dinner. He went to sit down with the others at the Gryffindor table but wasn't prepared for Kaiba to grab him and drag him to the Ravenclaw Common Room. Once there Kaiba dumped him next to the fireplace and scowled at him.
"What?"
"Look at what your dragon did to my Blue Eyes!" Kaiba growled, pointing an accusing finger at the five eggs sat in the flames, three silver eggs, one white one and one black one.
Joey gulped, "My Red Eyes Black? And your Blue Eyes White? I wonder what the hatchlings will look like…" Joey wondered, forgetting for a moment how angry Kaiba was.
Kaiba shook him, "If you ever let your dragon anywhere near mine again I'll… I'll"
"Wake up in the same bed as me again?" At that point Kaiba went bright red, and literally chucked Joey out the Common Room.
"I want at least one of those eggs Rich-Boy!" Joey yelled after him. Kaiba's only response was to slam the door behind the portrait.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despite the regular rain and the arrival of the eggs, which had the entire castle up in arms, Oliver Wood's determination and enthusiasm for regular training sessions wasn't dampened, which was why Harry and Yugi were to be found, late one Saturday afternoon, a few days before Halloween, returning to the Gryffindor Common Room, drenched head to toe and splattered with mud.
As they squelched along the corridor, Yugi was shivering with the cold, it hadn't been a good practise, Fred and George had seen the Slytherin's practising, their new brooms had them looking like green blurs, shooting through the air like jump jets. Yugi had found himself wishing that Kaiba had worked quicker to bankrupt the Malfoys, and his friends knew he barely ever thought ill of anyone.
They were walking along a deserted corridor when they walked into someone who was as preoccupied as they were, Nearly Headless Nick was staring out of a window muttering under his breath, "…don't fulfil their requirements… half an inch… if that…"
"Hello, Nick." Said Harry, as both boys stopped to talk to the ghost.
"Hello, hello." Said Nearly Headless Nick, starting and looking around, "You look troubled young Potter, Muto." He said, folding up a transparent letter.
"So do you." Yugi said.
"Ah, a matter of no importance, it's not as though I really wanted to join… thought I'd apply… but apparently I 'don't fulfil requirements'." In spite of his airy tone there was a bitter look on his face. "But you would think, wouldn't you, getting hit forty-five times in the neck with a blunt axe would qualify you to join the Headless Hunt?"
"Oh yes." Yugi and Harry said, who were obviously supposed to agree.
"I mean. No one wishes more then I do that it had all been quick and clean, and my head had come off properly, I mean it would have saved a great deal of pain and ridicule, However…" Nick shook the letter back open furiously and began to read… "We can only accept huntsmen who's heads have parted company with their bodies. You will appreciate that it would be impossible otherwise for members to participate in hunt activities such as Horseback Head Juggling and Head Polo. It is with greatest regret, therefore, that I must inform you that you do not fulfil out requirements. With very best wishes, Sir Patrick Delaney-Podmore." Fuming, Nick put the letter away, "Half an inch of skin and sinew holding my neck on Harry, Yugi! Most people would think that's good and beheaded, but not enough for Sir Properly-Decapitaited Podmore!"
Nearly Headless Nick took several deep breaths and then said, in a far calmer tone, "So what's bothering you? Anything I can help with?"
"No," Harry said, "Unless you know where we can get 7 free Nimbus 2001s for our match against Sly…" Harry's sentence was drowned out by a high pitched mewing from around Yugi's ankles. Yugi looked down and found himself looking into the amber eyes of Miss Norris, the skeletal grey cat who was used by the caretaker, Argus Filch, as a sort of deputy in his endless war against the students.
"You'd better get out of here," said Nick quickly, "Filch is in a bad mood. He's got the flu and the dragons all caused a mess in the Great Hall earlier when Yami and your Ravenclaw friend had a blazing row there earlier, Yugi." Yugi grimaced, that had to be Kaiba, Yami didn't normally have rows with students, unless you included Bakura. "He's been cleaning all morning and if he catches you two dripping mud everywhere…"
"Right." Harry said, as Yugi backed away from the accusing stare of the cat, but not quickly enough as Filch, as though summoned to the spot by the power that linked him and his cat, Yugi wondered if it was similar to the links to their Duel Monsters, appeared, gasping for breath, looking around for the rule breaker.
"Filth!" He shouted, as he pointed at the puddle that had accumulated around Yugi and Harry's Quidditch robes, "Mess and muck everywhere! I've had enough of it! Follow me Potter! You too Muto!" The two of them waved a gloomy goodbye to Nearly Headless Nick and followed Filch. Once they were sat in Filch's office, Yugi zoned out, holding the Millennium Puzzle which was hidden under his Quidditch robes.
'Yami? What did you and Kaiba fight about earlier?'
"I don't want to talk about it. Why aren't you back yet?"
'Me and Harry got into trouble with Filch, but don't change the subject…'
"It's not important." Yugi was distracted by a loud bang on the ceiling off the office.
"PEEVES!" Filch roared and rushed out of the office. Yugi tried to get Yami to talk to him but found the link closed at Yami's end as Harry looked at a letter on the desk. Harry quickly threw the letter on the desk as the door reopened. Filch accused them of reading his letter, and Yugi honestly denied reading it to cover up for Harry. He kicked them out of his office.
Amazed at their luck, they sped up to the Common Room, stopping to gasp for breath just outside their Common Room, "Harry! Yugi! Did it work?" Nearly Headless Nick asked. "I persuaded Peeves to drop an old cabinet from a height, above Filch's office." Nick said eagerly, "Thought it might distract him…"
"That was you?" Harry said gratefully, "Yes, it worked, we didn't even get detention. Thanks Nick!"
Nick was still holding the rejection letter. "I wish there was something we could do for you about the Headless Hunt." Yugi said.
"But there is something you could do for me," Nick said excitedly, "Yugi… Harry… would it be asking too much… but no, you wouldn't want to…"
"What is it?" Harry asked.
"This year is my five hundredth deathday." Said Nick drawing himself up and looking dignified.
"Oh," Said Harry, unsure whether they should look sorry or happy about this, "Right."
"I'm holding a party down in one of the roomier dungeons. Friends will be coming from all over the country. It would be such an honer if you will attend, I mean I know Yami and Ombre probably wouldn't want to come but the whole group is invited too."
"I'll come." Harry said quickly, Yugi wasn't too sure, why would you want to celebrate the day you died? Yami and Ombre couldn't even remember the day they'd died, well they hadn't really, their bodies had died but their spirits had lived on inside the Millennium Items. Nick was looking at him expectantly.
"Count me in." Yugi said quickly. Even if Yami wouldn't want to go, Yugi owed Nick, and it was the least he could do to go to his party.
"My dear boys, Harry Potter and Yugi Muto at my Deathday Party! And…" He hesitated, looking excited, "Could you mention to Sir Patrick how frightening you find me?"
"Of… of course." Said Harry, Nick beamed at him.
"A Deathday Party?" said Hermione keenly, when the two boys had changed at last and joined the group in the Common Room. "I bet there aren't many living people who can say they've been to one of those – it'll be fascinating."
Ombre and Yami were quiet, as Ron spoke, "Who would want to celebrate the day they died? It sounds dead depressing to me." Yugi poked Yami who ignored him. Yugi was hurt, Yami never ignored him, even when they'd had a disagreement. "Just leave me alone, Yugi." Yami growled and got up and went up to the dorm, leaving Yugi confused, and upset.
Joey watched him go, "It's not you Yugi." He said, "Kaiba and him had a huge fight in the Great Hall, Kaiba pretty much accused him of being a coward, and an unworthy guardian for you since he's afraid to fly even in clear weather and you were up in the air today during a storm. Yami's been in a foul mood ever since."
"Nearly Headless Nick said Yami and Kaiba had had a fight but didn't tell us what about, other then it upset the dragons." Harry said, having watched Yami storm off.
"The dragons, even Kaiba's Blue Eyes White were annoyed with Kaiba's comments; they think that Yami doesn't have to fly because they can protect Yugi while he's flying. Kaiba ended up getting blasted by Joey's Red Eyes Black and retreating out the door." Kari continued from where Joey left off.
'Yami, please…' Yugi trailed off, the link was still closed, Yami was still blocking him. Yugi looked at the group, frustrated. "Okay gang, ideas for getting Yami over his fear of flying."
"We need to prove to Yami that he's still a fit guardian for you, so what if we pretend to kidnap you, Yuge, and put you some place high?" Joey asked. "Somewhere where you could only get by flying."
"That's a silly idea, how about we just chuck Yami out a window?" Ron asked.
"That's sillier still, how about…" Yugi listened as the ideas got progressively worse. No one noticed when Yami came back down until he opened the mind link and Yugi sensed him. "Guys!" Yugi called, pointing, the group shut up immediately as he came over.
"Yugi… I'm sorry about earlier, it wasn't your fault, I had no reason to be angry at you." Yami said, looking down. "What were you talking about…?" He asked, looking at the guilty faces around the group.
"Nothing in particular, I know you didn't want us to tell Yugi about the fight you had with Kaiba, but we did, because he was upset because you had a go at him." Joey said, telling a half truth.
"And?" Yami said, when Yugi wouldn't look him in the eyes.
"They were plotting how to get rid of your silly fear of heights." Hermione said.
Yami stiffened, slamming the link shut with a bang similar in volume to the exploding Kuriboh, "It's not a fear of height!" He almost shouted, getting angry all over again.
Yugi visibly winced against the anger he sensed even with the link closed. "Then what is it?" He asked quietly.
"Nothing!" Yami exploded, and stormed off again, leaving Yugi upset.
Joey growled, "I'm gunna knock some sense into him!" He said, getting to his feet and following the Pharaoh out of the Common Room.
"Joey…!" Yugi called after him and then sighed.
"I think Joey had a good idea in the first place, he'd have to get over his fear if Yugi was in trouble." Ombre said, bringing the conversation back to the topic.
"YAMI!" Joey yelled, the Pharaoh stopped, turned and growled at him.
"Leave me alone!" Yami shouted, the empty hallway echoing his words.
"No!" Joey shouted, closing the distance between them, "Not until you explain why you can't even watch Yugi fly!"
"No!" Yami shouted, and turned to go.
Joey lashed out with his fist, catching Yami in the jaw. Yami got up, growling, and pounced on Joey, the two ending up wrestling with each other and only stopping when Joey had Yami pinned. "Now tell me what's wrong, bud." Joey said, as Yami finally stopped growling at him.
Yami was shaking and closed his eyes to avoid looking into Joey's, "My little sister died, I only just remembered her, and my only memory of her is when she crashed. Harry's downward dive during the first flying lesson must have awakened the memory, because I got it back at the same time. I don't want to lose Yugi like that!" Joey nodded in understanding. "Every time I see anyone flying, I see my little sister on the back of her dragon."
His eyes shot open as he realised he'd lost the link with Yugi almost completely, meaning Yugi had either taken the Puzzle off, or someone had taken it from him. But what danger could he have been in, in the Gryffindor Common Room? Unless he'd followed Yami out. Yami growled at himself, if he hadn't slammed the link shut he'd of known if Yugi was in trouble. "Yugi…" He whispered, Joey looked startled and let him up.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know." Yami rushed back towards the Common Room, Joey close behind.
"Yes!" Yami crowed. Kaiba turned around.
"What was that about?" Yami didn't say anything and tried to look innocent, something he couldn't quite pull off. However Joey landed him in trouble by saying.
"Ok Yami, you win the bet."
