Bella walked up to Yugi with a grin. "Two couples engaged. Now if only Harry and Ginny were old enough....oh wait" She trailed off smirking. 

"You know arranging your brother's engagement is one thing. they were already engaged...But Harry and Ginny?" Yugi asked. 

"Hey its normal here. They do it to combined families for more power. Arthur would be thrilled to marry her off to Harry. He is a great kid" Bella explained as they walked over to a table and sat down. 

Out of no where fred and George pops up. 

"Someone ordered" 

"A Fire whiskey special?"  

Bella blinked as she stared up at them. "Hand it over and no one gets hurt" she says threateningly. 

Fred hands over the botte. 

Bella takes it and opens the bottle before taking a large chug. 

"just be careful" Yugi says with a sigh. 

Bella grinned as she looked over at him. "you my dear...you have not seen the other side of me. Let me tell you...that is a whole new world." She says with a laugh as she lets Christine take over. 

Christine stared at him confused. "wha...?" she looked around not knowing what was happening. 

"oh..." Yugi lets out Atem quickly. 

"Christine?" Atem questioned looking at her worriedly. 

"ph-pharaoh?" Christine asked as she looked over at him. "what's going on?" she asked. Atem could see how scared she was as she looked around. 

*this must be the real Christine* Atem thought to him self. He stood up. "come on" he says holding out his hand for her. Hesitantly she took it while standing up and followed him out of the great hall. 

"where are we going? Where are we?" Christine asked. 

"Ill Explain everything in a moment" Atem says reassuringly. "just away from prying ears" he explained. 

Christine falls silent as she followed him. They walked into the closest class room and Atem shut the door behind them. 

Christine looked down at the floor as he turned and faced her. 

Atem sighed a little. "alright. What do you remember?" He asked. 

"I..." Christine looked nervous. She was afraid to speak. "I...remember....hearing you...talking to me" She says shakily. 

"about?" Atem asked nodding his head. 

"I...I don't...I just heard...your voice...I was really dark" Christine explained. "but then it got brighter. and...I heard...and then i was gone...and we were in a...a house with a bunch of people" 

Atem felt him self relaxing a little. 

"But then i went back to the darkness again" Christine says as she looked as though she was about to have a panic attack. "it was dark, I couldn't...i couldn't see" 

Atem grabbed hold of her hand causing her to jump a little and look up at him in surprise. "I know, I know that it is really dark right now. But we can make it brighter. When i was in there...there was a light. you can make it brighter" he explained. 

"how?" Christine asked trembling. 

"with time." Atem says with a sigh. "Your fears still control you." He explained as he sat down with a sigh. He glanced around. "as for where this place is...It is a school" he says. "You learn all sorts of things here" He says as he looked back over at Christine. "we are helping them with a problem" He explained. 

"Wh-what type of problem?" Christine asked hesitantly. 

"Zorc" Atem replied. Christine tensed up as she looked around frightenedly. "It's alright...She can't get to you right now." he says. 

"but" Christine started to say. 

Atem shakes his head. "Christine...no, we are not going to have this conversation. What happened...happened. Its the past. Im over it. you are over it. we are fine." he says. 

Christine looked up at him. there was so much confusion and pain rolling through her. How was he fine with any of this?

tears filled her eyes. Atem got up and walked over to her. He pulled her into his arms and held onto her tightly. She tensed for a moment, however, she relaxed into his arms and nuzzled into him. 

Once she was calmed down they stepped away from each other. 

"Now...Back to the dance...or to bed your choice" Atem says. 

"Dance?" Christine asked. 

"where we were just at" Atem says. 

They were interrupted by a growl. Atem looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "food it is" He says as he leads her to the great hall and over to a table. 

Christine looked around at the large room. "what's the celebration?" She asked as they sat down. plates of food appeared in front of them. 

"um. Im not sure how to explain it...It is a day for couples" Atem says looking around. 

"couples?" Christine looked confused as she looked down at the plate. She was shocked seeing the odd food on her plate. 

"Fork" Atem says holding up a fork. "It not that different" he says as he started eating the food. 

Christine returns her attention to her own food and copied him "this girl..." Christine started to say. "this body isn't mine" 

Atem looked up at her. "no" he replied. 

"who is she?" Christine asked. 

Atem watches her thoughtfully. "Her name is Bella. She...well she knows you very well" He explained. "She is powerful. And is what is keeping Zorc away from you" He explained. 

Christine looked up at him puzzled. 

"There is too much light in her" Atem explained. Christine looked surprised by this. 

"everyone has a darkness" Christine says quietly. 

"yes...well, that is just natural" Atem says with a shrug. Christine nods as she took a bite of the food on her plate. 

She flinched a little as she swallowed. The music was loud. Louder than Christine was used to hearing. 

She watched everyone as they either were sitting down eating, or dancing the night away to the music. 

"m-my brother....Is he..." Christine started to ask. 

"He's off with Mel some where, Something about proposing properly" Atem says. "that was about an hour ago. probably off somewhere trying for another kid" he says flippantly not really thinking about what he said. 

Christine frowned. "that's not funny" she says glaring at him. 

"it wasn't meant to be" Atem replied looking over at her. Christine stared at him unsure if she should believe him or not. 

"look, we will see him in the morning" Atem says reassuringly. "just eat alright" he says calmly. Christine sighed and reluctantly went back to eating. 

Once they were finished and they were on their way to Gryffindor tower. they were blocked by Hermione Granger. 

Atem tensed. 

Christine looked confused as she glanced to Atem. "who is that?" She asked. 

"Non friendly" Atem replied. 

Christine moved in front of Atem in a protective manner. 

Hermione smirked. "you think you can do anything to me" she says with a laugh. 

"Ive taken down plenty" Christine says firmly as she clenched her fists tightly. 

Hermione laughed as she pulled her wand. "except there is only two of you death eater" She says. 

"death eater?" Christine asked confused, but before they knew it, they were surrounded by other students. 

"Christine. we cant hurt them" Atem says firmly. Christine looked around. They didn't have much choice. Mahad appeared beside them. 

"allow me" he says coldly. Christine looked up at him surprised. Mahad sent a couple students flying backwards, knocking them out. 

"actually granger....I have a deck full of back up" Atem says. 

Christine jumped out of the way quickly as one of the girls, Atem recognized as Pavarti patil, attacked her. Christine round house kicked the girl into the pillar  causing her head to bust open. 

"Christine be more careful" Atem says firmly. 

"Sorry" Christine says quickly with wide eyes. "How did i do that?" she asked. 

"that is Bella helping you" Atem replied. 

"Enough!" hermione growled. "Take them down" she snarled. 

Christine moved with ease...knocking out the girls one by one. Neither of them getting any where close to Atem....not that she would let them. 

Christine turned just in time as a spell was sent right at her from Hermione's wand. The spell cut her arm causing her to hiss out in pain. Christine tensed and brought her fist up wards towards Hermione's stomach, however before her hand made contact she opened her hand causing the claws to go straight through the girl. Blood splattered from the wound. 

blood pooled in Hermione's mouth and spilled out as she stood there in shock. her wand dropped to the floor. 

Christine pulled her hand from the girls stomach and let her drop to the floor. 

"I said don't hurt them!" Atem says frustrated. Christine never listened!

Christine turned and looked at Atem tilting her head. There was just no pleasing him! She bent down and picked up the wand. She looked it over before snapping it in half. 

hearing foot steps they looked over and saw Dumbledore, Tom, Minerva, and Selene running up.

"what the bloody hell?" Tom asked looking confused. 

"Dont ask" Atem says with a sigh rubbing his head as he tried to calm him self down. Christine was tense.

Who was these people. She inched closer to Atem as she stared at them wide eyed. 

"Its ok. They are friends." Atem says trying to calm her. 

Tom looked over. "Christine?" He asked. 

"yes...real Christine" Atem replied. "And she is...spooked. Hermione and these girls decided to try and attack us. Christine saw a threat and took it out" he explained. 

Dumbledore sighs. "i will deal with this. Sirius showed me those letters between her and lucius. I can use those" He says. 

"I get her...but why these other girls" Selene asked. She was holding Marilla close to her. 

"I dont know." Atem says. "they are only knocked unconscious though" he added. 

"that's a relief" Minerva says with a sigh. at least there was only one dead...one they can pull off...but a whole group full of students. This would be hard enough as it is. 

"Christine!" Atem yelped as Christine fell forward. He quickly caught her before he hit the ground. they looked to see that the bandage on her leg was bloody. 

"what?" Christine stared at the bandage confused. Atem straightened himself and her before picking her up in so that he could carry her. 

"excuse us" Atem says sharply and walked away from them.
