Haku: HELLO THERE!!!!!!

Y. Haku: Run.

Haku: Why? -Is pelted with rotten vegetables for not updating in ages- Oh.

With a strangely furious sounding sigh, a certain black haired, bespectacled boy who lived threw down his quill in an overt display of emotion. This caused another black haired boy nearby to look up curiously, his hair gracefully hanging over one shoulder where it had rested previously.

"WHY is nothing in this life EVER easy?" Harry furiously demanded, glaring at the end of his report and wondering why he'd written down everything he'd found out, and still, it was only half the length that Professor McGonagall had asked of them.

This earned a chuckle from Mokuba, his raven hair shaking ever so slightly, and a soft white feather shaking itself free from his locks. "Because that would make life boring." He replied, in a tone, all too innocent, and of which he was a master. Just as innocently, the boy turned back to what he was originally doing, and poked a nearby needle with his wand. There was a brief flash of light, and there lying in the needle's place was a wooden matchstick.

"Don't you know what rhetorical question means Mokuba?" Harry shot back, placing his head on the common room table in a sign of defeat.

"No, enlighten me." Mokuba was now poking at the needle turned matchstick. "How come I can turn a needle into a matchstick, but I can't do things the other way round?" He prodded the matchstick with the tip of his wand
Hagrid wandered the edge of the forbidden forest thinking what a beautiful and peaceful night it was. The lake was still, the air was fresh and clean, and there wasn't a breeze to speak of.

"KUUUUSSSSSOOOOOO!!!!"

Several birds, in a nearby tree were startled by the sudden noise took flight.

"Wha' was tha'?" He asked of himself, looking up in the direction of the Gryffindor common room, where he could have sworn the shout originated.

((Haku: Sorry! Had to!))
Mokuba stared dejectedly at the end of his singed hair. The good thing was, his hair was black, so the singed part wasn't as noticeable, but the bad part was that now there was a large burn mark on the table, where the matchstick had previously resided.

Ron looked up from where he was playing Chess with George. "The idea, Mokuba is to turn the matchstick into a needle, not make it explode." Mokuba shot him a death glare, and seeing a he was the sibling to Seto Kaiba, Ron shivered at the icy exterior the boy suddenly portrayed, and went quietly back to his chess game. Sighing resignedly, Mokuba picked up his quill, and turned back to the letter he had started to his brother the week previous. He was unsure how as to finish it, for his first 3 weeks in Hogwarts had been strange and unusual, and he wasn't sure how his brother would react to them.

Dear Seto,

Hihi! It's been Ages since I've seen you big brother. You haven't fired anyone, have you? Because if you have.... Well I dunno what I would do, so just don't fire people okay?

Hogwarts is great! You should have seen some of the classes I've had so far! There's this one called Transfiguration. That's taught by Professor McGonagall. She's really strict, but heaps nice if you catch her in the right mood. She turned her desk into a pig in our first class! It was wicked, but she said we won't do anything like that for awhile.

As he was reading over what he had written, Mokuba imagined Seto's reaction. He was probably breathing a sigh of relief, for the fact that he wouldn't have any farm animals running around the mansion.

Anyways, what we've started in Transfiguration is turning Matchsticks into needles. I think I'm backwards or something, because I can turn a needle into a matchstick but if I try to turn a matchstick into a needle it just blows up in my face.

Mokuba smiled, and added in a note.

(Actually, I tried that today... I burnt a hole in the common room table. I hope I don't get in trouble for that.)

The ghosts here are really cool! They look like something out of Bakura's deck. There's this one, called the bloody Baron who's literally COVERED in blood. (Hence his name.) Everyone seems to be afraid of him though he just seems lonely to me. Ahh well. Every house (There are 4 of them. I'm in Gryffindor.) Has their own ghost too. The one in Gryffindor is called Sir Nicholas De Mimsy Pormington. (We call him Nearly Headless Nick) He was supposed to be beheaded, but it went wrong... so, well, we don't call him Nearly Headless for nothing...

Then there's Peeves. Where do I start with him? Oh, he's a horrible creature he is. If you meet him in the corridor, and you're late for class he'll do anything to get you a detention. (Though he leaves me alone ever since Tenshi made the chandelier fall on him.) He does all this stuff in the corridors like makes the suits of armour fall on you and he pulls rugs from under your feet and stuff. Though that's not the half of it either. I saw him the other day drawing moustaches on the poor women in the tapestries. They were running like anything, trying to hide from him. Mr. Filch had to scrub them clean, and there's still a faint trace of the ink on them.

Astronomy is fun though. I think you'd like it. It's all mathematical. We go to the astronomy tower at midnight, and we look at all the stars and make maps and such. At the moment we're learning why the moon affects werewolves and not other people. It's really quite interesting. And I saw that flinch. There are no werewolves in the castle. Don't worry. (Apparently there's some in the forbidden forest, but... I'd love to meet one. Let me guess, forbidden, right?)

Mr. Filch is the caretaker here, if you were wondering, and he's eviller than Malik was. (Don't look at me like that. He is!) He'll give you a detention if you only do one little thing wrong. Like the other day, me and Harry and Ron were trying to open a door, which turned out to be the third corridor door that students aren't allowed to go into unless they want to die a "very painful death" (The headmaster's exact words.) And he caught us. We didn't know it was the third corridor at the time, we just thought it was another classroom. He wanted to give us a detention, but we were saved at the last minute by Professor Quirrell. (He's the defence against the Dark Arts teacher. I think there's something funny about him, but Harry and Ron won't listen to me when I mention it. They just say he's a big baby. I dunno, maybe I'm parenoid. - Is that spelt right?)

History of Magic is boring. It's all about Goblin wars, but the teacher just drones on and on. Everyone falls asleep about five minutes in, except for Hermione, but I'll tell you about HER later. It'd probably interesting if someone like Yugi taught it, he's always over the top, but he's friendly at least. ((Haku: -cough- allusion to Lizeth's History Of Magic. Read. Tis brilliant!))

But it's really strange. Professor Flitwick doesn't like me, and I think it's because of Tenshi... He's allergic to Griffins. (He's not just set against her like someone else we know. I saw that glare! And you are!) Well, it's not my fault she likes him, is it? But yeah, charms is interesting, but seeing as Professor Flitwick doesn't like me, it's not really fun.

The post everyday is AMAZING! The first day it nearly gave me a heart attack. About 1000 owls flew in through the window and zoomed everywhere, and landed in front of people. There were feathers everywhere... But I guess you get used to it after awhile. (And as to how? EASILY big bro!)

But yeah. The girl I mentioned earlier? Hermione? For some reason she won't leave me alone. She follows me and Harry and Ron everywhere. I think she likes me. How do I get her to stop? (WITHOUT hurting her feelings big bro. I know what you were about to say, and I don't like it.) I've got a feeling that she's probably pretty nice, but she's such a know it all! She's one of those all work no play types. (Hint, HINT!) Ahh well, she's on the other side of the common room now, looking at me funny. I'll finish this letter later.

Mokuba sighed. That's where he had let it trail off, and kinda ignored it for a week. Hermione had been looking at him as well, watching him carefully. She'd approached as soon as he acknowledged her, and spoken to him. They'd actually had a pretty decent conversation, him enquiring about England, and her about Japan. She had seemed genuinely interested in what he had to say about his home as well, and they had become friends.

Unfortunately, when he had tried to convince Harry and Ron that she was actually rather friendly and polite, they would have none of it, so the friendship hadn't really stuck.

Mokuba returned to writing the letter, the Japanese script flowing easily from his hand.

Actually, forget those comments about Hermione Big bro. (This is later. She's gone now.) We had a conversation and she's really quite nice. I've got to convince her that I'm not interested but... She's kinda clingy.

Oh, and I haven't told you about Harry and Ron yet, have I? They're my friends here, as you probably gathered. Ron's got the brightest Red hair you'll ever see (It looks like it's on fire) And I reckon he'll be taller than you one day, Seto. What was that snort for? Harry's quiet. He's really logical when push comes to shove, though I think it's because he's lived with his Aunt and Uncle all his life. (Think a certain Adoptive parent. Oh shush you. He wasn't that bad.)

Okay, he was...

I had a rather interesting conversation at Hagrid's the other day. Me Harry and Ron all went round for afternoon Tea. (A word of advice. If he offers you rock cakes don't eat them. They were THAT hard! No, I'm not exaggerating either.) He has a HUGE bloodhound! But Fang's heaps nice, he wouldn't hurt a fly. He licked Ron's ears as soon as he saw him. He didn't like Filch either. And he wants to give Mrs. Norris a right old Kick. Said he'd introduce her to Fang someday. I'd pay to see that. (Mrs. Norris is Mr. Filch's cat.

You know, on Harry's birthday someone tried to rob Gringotts! (Yeah, the bank with the Goblins. I still say that they were taller than Yugi. Nothing will convince me otherwise brother, don't try.) Yeah, Hagrid seemed to know about it, but he wasn't telling. I'm going to find out what it's all about. Seems really funny. They didn't take anything see? But according to Harry there was something in the Vault that the burglar tried to rob, but he and Hagrid had gotten it earlier that day. He thinks it's somewhere in the school now. I think that he's a bit loopy myself, after all, why would Hagrid lie to us?

Oh, and before I finish this letter, I reckon something strange is going on Seto, I'm SURE someone's watching me, and not just Hermione either. Remember in the Ministry of Magic booth where the woman at the front told us to go wait for HIM, and then there was a woman in the room? Isn't that just a little weird? I wonder what's going on there? Strange, isn't it?

Do you think I'm just being Parenoid or what? (That still doesn't look right...)It feels like I'm being watched everywhere I go.

Oh well, I'll send this with Tenshi when she gets back from hunting. And be nice to her when she delivers it. Okay?

Behave yourself.

Mokuba.

P.S. Fire someone and I'll set Tenshi on you.

Mokuba looked up from the letter, to find Ron looking over the top of it at him.

"Is that some kind of a code or what?" He asked, pointing to the flowing characters. Mokuba let out a disbelieving chuckle.

"Is that some kind of a cultural gap or what?" Harry looked up and let out a weak snicker.

"Does that Japanese script really fill up so much space?" He enquired, looking at the length of the letter, a hopeful grin on his face. "Can you write my Transfiguration homework out again in that script?"

Mokuba laughed, turning to his own, half finished essay which was two thirds of the length required and still going. "Sorry, Harry, do your own work." Harry sighed, and picked up his quill again, turning to his essay and desperately trying to lengthen it.
Haku: LOOK! I updated! And yeah, the plot is starting to develop. The midnight Duel will be next chapter. You know, the one that Draco and Harry have, except there will be a slight twist to it.

Y. Haku: How is that different from anything else you've ever written?

Haku: -.- Be happy people, I updated!!!!

Haku: And just so you know, I can spell Paranoid; I just thought it would be cute if Mokuba couldn't spell it. It took me a lot of work to get the spellchecker to stop automatically correcting it, I tell you.

Y. Haku: Read and review!
-Le sigh- You'd think that with all the policing that goes on in this world that people would be kinder to a random individual like myself, however, this is not to be the case.

Either you people haven't read my new front page, or you've chosen to ignore it and believe I will too, however, this is not the case.

Now, I can understand that if you haven't read that page, this may come as a bit of a shock to you, but I have actually left. I only came back to this story and this chapter in particular to let you know something, and also, to defend my honour, for someone claimed I did not think this story through.

-clears throat- I received a review boldly claiming that this story was not thought through, when in actual fact, it was scrutinized and pondered for hours on end trying to iron out every miniscule little detail so that I would not fall into plot holes.

And now onto defending my honour:

1.Claim: Seto would be able to pass through the barrier because he is magical. And he has a yami as well, so he will.

Seto does not pass through the barrier for HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN MAGIC!!! Watch the show once in awhile, and no matter how many times it runs through, the outcome is always the same. He dismisses magic as a non- occurrence, which is, in my belief while a muggle can lean upon the barrier and not slide through into platform 9 and ¾. I think that it's all due to belief, not actual talent that gets you in. Also, it is my belief that Seto does NOT have a yami. I stick to the cannon of the show. You can not assume that he does have a Yami when Isis' necklace does not bring forth the seer Isis, and the Balance does not contain Karimu. (Don't get me started on the wrongness of Anukadin and Pegasus!) And this is also the reason why he didn't get a letter. (Also it would make no sense, for he was in high school at the time. How can one be two places at once?)

2. Claim: Harry Potter only got the heaps of letters because he's the Famous Harry Potter. Mokuba wouldn't get heaps of letters too!!!

So? Mokey's the famous Mokuba Kaiba, Seto Kaiba's younger brother! Also, I don't believe that Dumbledore WOULD play favourites that way, and if you think of it, every muggle-born would be disbelieving and think 'what is this hoax' when they got the letter, thus a persistent Hogwarts. The Email did create a plot hole you could have picked to bits, (That's one that was a mistake and I can't defend.) but you chose the mail as a whole and this I can defend with the reasons stated.

3. A GRIFFIN??? For god sakes don't you know how big they get!

Lastly, I suggest you read the fic more closely. You'll notice that when Seto buys the griffin, the clerk states: "And won't grow any larger than a housecat. At least, this breed won't anyway." That was put there for two reasons. To 1. Makes sure that Tenshi didn't get too big and 2. Create an allusion to something that was going to happen in the sequel I had planned. (I was only going to do the first and second year- Second year being "Yet another crummy sequel for a HPX" My dry sense of humour.)

And as you can see, I have now defended my position on all of your 'claims' of how my fiction is so terrible. And I know that you will probably never read this, but quite frankly, I don't care.

And finally, before I leave forever, I would like to thank all my reviewers, and say that I am sorry for doing this, but my characters, plotlines, descriptions, even whole chapters have been stolen, and I do not appreciate this, not only that but would you steal a car or a hand bag? Or a book from the bookstore? Would you take a book, type it up and claim it as your own? No? Well, this is pretty much the same thing. It's stealing copyrighted actions, and if I knew who you were personally, I would not hesitate to take you to court. While the characters I use are mostly copyrighted elsewhere, I have unedited manuscripts in my possession, and I do own plotlines and chapters, and also, Haku Ishatar and Kohaku Ishatar ARE MY CHARACTERS! The last name is mine too, for all it seems a blatant rip off, because it is NOT spelt the same way, and because it was around before I had even heard of Yu-Gi-Oh. They started as twins and evolved.

All that said and done, I hate to leave on such negative terms, especially seeing as there are many people I have come to know and think of as good and faithful friends on the site. These people and they know who they are (Basically all of my constant reviewers... I luff you guys!) Can email me and when my site is up which will contain my fanfics, I will notify them.

So "Ja Ne" everyone, I'm gone!

Sincerely, Haku Ishatar.
