Prof. McGonagall flicked her wand and the trunk floated down the stairs after them. Coming into the kitchen Kagome kissed her mother and brother goodbye.
"Where is Jii-san?" Kagome asked her mother.
"Outside, dear," she took a moment to hug her daughter "he's praying to the Sacred Tree. Oh,Kagome, remember your order?" Kagome nodded.
"... Just have him bring it to me. I'm sure he can findtheschool if you give himthe address" she told her.
"Hogwarts has no address to muggles-"Prof. McGonagall started.
"I never said he was even human" Kagome retorted.
After waving goodbye, Kagome went outside to speak to her grandfather. Going over to the Sacred Tree, she found Jii-san kneeling before it in prayer.
"O Sacred Tree that watches over our shrine, please heed my prayers" Kagome waited patiently as her grandfather bowed to the Old-God-Tree. "Please watch over our Kagome as she goes to strange lands," he bowed again "please, O Sacred Tree, protect her. For I do not know what I'd do if we ever lost her..." he was crying now. "Oh, Kagome! I-I did not see you!" he wiped his eyes, and smiled. "I was praying for your safety!"
"' ... I do not know what I'd do if we ever lost her..'" Kagome mimicked.
"Yes, yes! Do you wish to pray to the Go-shinboku?" he asked Kagome and Minerva.
"... sure" was Kagome's only response. Shekneeled before the Sacred Tree and prayed.
' Please, protect my family for me...' Kagome silently prayed.
"Miss Higurashi, we must go now" Minerva said soberly.
Kagome lifted her head up to see Prof. McGonagall holding an old boot. "This portkey will take us to Diagon Alley, you understand?" she helped Kagome up. "All right, hold hands," they did so "brace yourselves..." and then they felt a jerking sensation around their navels, and then their feet left the ground.
Their feet touched the ground again and Kagome and Shippo's trunk hit the ground with a thud. they opened their eyes; they were surrounded by hags, witches, and wizards doing their day-to-day things, going from shop to shop.
They raised their eyebrows.
"Kaa-san, where are we?" Shippo whispered but was overheard by McGonagall.
"Diagon Alley in London, England" Prof.McGonagall said stiffly.
"Where's that?"
"Western Europe."
"... where's that?"
"(Groans) Enough! Miss Higurashi let us see your list."
Kagome dug it out andunfolded the letter:
1.Three sets of plain work robes (black)
2.One pair of protective gloves (dragon hide or silimiar)
3.One winter cloak (black, silver fastenings)
Please note - This year a special dance will be held at Christmas, so a set of dress robes will be needed.

"Let's get your robes first" prof.McGonagall lead her by the hand. Then, Kagome took notice in the shops that were boarded up.
"...?" Kagome gave a questioning look.
"There is a war going, a Dark Wizard threatens the wizarding and Muggle community-" Prof. McGonagall explained but seen Kagome's 'wh?' look.
"Ourterm for non-magical folk- anyway, in public, please refer to him as 'You-know-Who.' Prof. McGonagall said leading them into a shop called Madame Malkin's Robes for All Occasions.
She and Minerva entered the shop and were greetedby a squat, smiling witch dressed in mauve.
"Can I help you?" she said looking hopeful.
"Yes, Madame Malkin, this is Ms. Higurashi, she'll be needing her school unifrom."
"Right this way, dear" she hurriedly led kagome to a foot stool and told her to stand on it. After doing so, Madame Malkin measured measures her shoulder to hand, hand to armpit, shoulder to elbow, chin to belly button, around her waist, hip to ankle, around the breast, and head to toe.
"Be right back, dear" and hurried to get her robes.
After leaving Madame Malkin's, they went next door to a shop called Flourish and Blotts. Inside were shelves stacked to the ceiling with backs as a large as roof tiles bound in leather; books the size of postage stamps in covers of silk; books full of peculiar symbols and a few books with nothing in them at all.
"We;;, let's get your books," Prof. McGonagall spoke up "I'll go this way, you go that way" she said going to the foriegn magic section.
As it turned out 'Advanced White Magic' had a silk cover, 'Miko Spells of Purification' and 'Ways of the Shrine: Making Shikigami to Summoning Spirits' were made of ricepaper and written in kanji.
Then a pewter cauldron, a set crystal phials, a collapsible brass telescope and a set brass scales were purchased at various stores in Diagon Alley.
The last store they visited was the Apothecary; a fascinating, yet really smelly store, like bad eggs and rotten cabbages. Barrels of slimy stuff, jars of herbs, dried roots, and bright powders lined the walls; bundles of feathers, strings of fangs and snarled claws hung from the ceiling.
Of course, the smell was so loud for Shippo and Kilala, so Prof. McGonagall had to hurry and leave.
"Alright, join hands, please" Prof. McGonagall said now holding a rusty pail port-key. As soon as Kagome and Shippo joined hands with Professor McGonagall and Kilala, there was jerking sensation around her navel and their feet left the ground.
