Chapter 2- Shopping Spree in Diagon Ally
"Well at least we didn't draw attention to our selves." Sailor Mars said looking into the sunny street before them. It was crowded with people wearing different colored robes and hats.
"It seems that we are in the right place." Mercury said bringing up her visor; "From my calculations that I'm getting we are in the right place. Just give me a minute to download the map to this place onto my computer." She took her hand-held computer out.
"This is a very interesting place." Luna said as she got out of the circle of scouts to get better look at this place.
"Downloaded!" Mercury said as she put her visor back and transformed back into her street clothes. The others did the same.
"Where do we go first?" Lita asked.
"Well we have to go to the bank to get our money exchanged to get our things." Michelle said looking at the small computer screen.
"Which way is it to the bank?" Mina asked.
"We take a left at the first street that we reach when we come out of her and go south." Amy said double-checking her computer. They found the bank easily. On the way they got a few odd stares.
"And they think we are funny looking." Mina whispered to Hotaru.
"I know." said Hotaru looking around at the people.
"Here is the bank." Amy said pointing at a large building in front of them.
"Wow........." They all said.
Once they got in they saw all these funny looking creatures running around.
"We should ask them where the exchange place is in here." Michelle whispered to Trista.
"Lita you ask them. You know the most English." Serena said, pushing her forward.
"Thanks a lot guys." She said behind her shoulder as she approached the little creature.
When she finally got to the creature it stared up at her in disbelief at the size of her.
"Can I help you?" He asked in a timid voice.
"Can you please direct me to where the exchange place in the bank is." Lita said as well as she could.
"This way." He motioned for her to follow. The others followed close behind her. Once they got there the little creature left and they were still lost in the bank.
"My computer says that those little creatures were goblins." Amy said while looking at her computer.
"That explains everything." Raye said, rolling her eyes.
They all exchanged their money for even stranger money. They were lucky that the goblin spoke Japanese. He explained what each coin was and its value. When he done he asked the names of the girls.
"I am Serena Tsukino." The blonde one with a meatball type style said.
"I am Rini Tsukino." The pink haired one said.
"I am Amy Mizuno." The short blue haired one said.
"I am Raye Hino." One of the tall girls with long raven hair said.
"I am Lita Kino." The very tall girl with auburn hair put up in a ponytail said.
"I am Amara Tenou." The boyish looking one said.
"I am Michelle Kaiou." The one with sea foam green hair said.
"I am Hotaru Tomoe." The small one with short black hair said.
"And I am Trista Meiou." The other tall girl with olive green hair said.
"Wait here please." The goblin said and walked off. When he came back he was carrying slips of paper.
"These are for you." He said as he handed them each a sheet of paper. Each paper had a number on it.
"What are these for?" Hotaru asked.
"They are your accounts numbers." He said.
"We have accounts here?" Serena asked.
"Yes all your parents knew that you would come here some day so they saved up almost all their money so you could get a good education." He explained.
"And you knew this all along." Serena said pointing to Trista and glaring at her.
"I was not allowed to reveal that information." She shrugged and walked off to the door.
"I did all those chores for nothing." sighed Mina.
"I know. I'm going on a major shopping spree here." Raye said following Trista.
"So young and so right." Michelle said, how was still mad at the fact that she did all those concerts.
"I know the feeling." Amara said going after Michelle. The others shortly followed.
"So where do we go first?" Hotaru asked.
"We should get our uniforms first so we do not worry about them later." Raye suggested.
"I hate the color black." Hotaru said in disgust.
When they got there they saw two boys in there getting tailored for their uniforms.
"Who are they?!" Mina said, eyeing the boys.
"I like the one with the brown hair." Lita said, also looking at them.
"I don't like the blond, he looks kind of dead and I'm getting bad vibes from him." Raye said in a skeptical way.
When they got into the shop Hotaru and Mina went in first. Hotaru went in first because she kept saying that she hated the color black and wanted it a really dark purple, so she asked the lady that was fitting them if she could have her color changed to really dark purple. The lady agreed that it would be close enough black so she could change it.
"Happy now, Hotaru?" Mina said in Japanese, "You got the better color."
"Yup, I love this color." She responded back.
The two boys looked at her in a strange way.
"What are you looking at?" Hotaru said in English, (one of the only lines she could say clearly). The blonde one turned away.
"You two aren't from around here." The boy with the brown hair said.
"How did you guess?" Mina said sarcastically. (With Hotaru saying "No Duh" under her breath.)
"You speak a different language." He replied.
"We're from Japan." Hotaru interrupted.
"Wow! Long trip?" He asked.
"Not really." Mina said as she lifted her arms so the lady could measure her arm length.
He looked confused.
"Ok Mr. you're done." The lady that was measuring the boy said.
"Finally." He said as he jumped of the chair.
"Is this going to take a long time?" Hotaru asked.
"Not really." He said.
"That's a relief. Last time I had to get fixed for a uniform it took them one hour to get the measurements right." She said sourly.
"That's a long time... Oh I have to go. It was nice talking to you both." He said, just before he reached the door Mina asked him something.
"What's your name?"
"I'm Harry Potter.........Yours?"
"I'm Hotaru Tomoe." The smaller one said.
"I'm Mina Aino." The blonde said.
"Well hope to see you both in school." Then he walked out the door.
It took about sixty minutes for all of them to get fitted and pay for their uniforms and was told for all of them to go back in two hours.
"Where shall we go now?" Raye asked, looking at Amy's computer.
"The closest shop to us is the wand shop right over there." Amy said, pointed to the store across the street.
"Well then, let's go." Rini said, walking across the street.
"Rini! Wait up!" Serena yelled as she ran after her.
The others followed. When they got in the shop it was covered in boxes. Wall to wall, literally. The only thing that did not have boxes on it was the floor and the front desk had some space on it. The walls were packed with boxes. Michelle was the first one to ring the bell. They all heard a grunt and a small crash. After two minutes a small man came out from behind one of the curtains and walked up to the desk.
"New witches." He mused.
"We are here to get out wands." Amy said in the English she could conjure up.
"You are from out of the country aren't you?" he said with a tone of curiosity that sent a chill down Raye's spine.
"We are from Japan." Amara explained in her best English.
"So you are the transfer students Albus Dumbledore told me about." He said and walked into room.
"Who's Albus Dumbledore?" Rini asked the others.
"It sounds familiar." Luna said.
"Now you talk." Serena snapped.
"Wait, give me your application form." Luna commanded. Serena gave the cat the paper with a puzzled look on her face.
"He is the Head Master of this school." Luna said and showed the others. They all nodded in agreement.
"I have your wands." The man said emerging from the back room.
"They are pre-chosen for us?" Amy asked, confused.
"No these are the only ones that work for you." He said handing each one a box.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Lita in almost perfect English.
"There are magic schools in Japan. But they are only for Mages and all of you are Witches. It seems that you are about ¼ Mage because you were born there. Mages draw their power from certain planets. So I specially ordered on for each of your needs." He went on.
"You," He pointed to Amy, "Have the wand made from a melted icicle, glacier chip, and a frozen rain water drop from the planet Mercury. Your wand will work better with freezing and slip spells." Then he pointed to Mina.
"You wand had a diamond, tear drop, and a star heart from the planet Venus. Your wand will work best with love spells and protecting the ones you love." He turned to Raye.
"Your wand has a ember from a great fire, a spark, and a phoenix flame from the planet Mars. Your wand will work the best with fire and light spells." Then he turned and pointed to Lita.
"Your wand has a flash of lighting, a petal of the snap dragon, and a charge of electricity from the planet Jupiter. Your wand works better with plant and electrical spells." Pointed to Amara next.
"Your wand contains a gust of wind, power of a hurricane, and agility of a tornado from the planet Uranus. Your wand is best at levitation and wind spells." Michelle was next.
"Your wand has a wave of Titus, a drop of faerie rain, and a grain of beach sand from the Neptune. Your wand works better with water basted spells and a greater defense against fire." Then Hotaru was next.
"Your wand holds a ribbon of hope, a string of life, and a plant of death from the planet Saturn. Your wand works with the life and death spells." He pointed to Trista.
"You have the face of time, a number of Chronos, and a time tear from the time in your wand, it will work best when used for time stopping and fast- forwarding anything time." Then last, but not least, he pointed to Serena and Rini.
"Both your wands contain a drop of Serenity, moon rock dust, and a star bud. Both wands help in seeing the star constellations and getting information out of them." Then he gave Rini's wand a look, "Yet yours doesn't contain a star bud. It has an earth bud. You are a mixture of the moon and earth. Your wand can also control some elements of the Earth." Now he was done.
"So how much for the wands?" Serena asked, but it was a bit choppy.
"Nothing." He replied gravely.
"Nothing?!" Hotaru squeaked.
"Yes, nothing. It did not cost me anything to order it because I was ordering it for only ¼ Mages so I would of only have had to pay for ¼, but they were having a sale saying ¼ off of all wands." He explained.
"But then you would have had to pay 2/8." Amy said making sure her calculations were right.
"Are you 2/8 Mages?" He asked.
"No." She replied, still not getting it.
"Then I did not have to pay for any of your wands." He said.
"I get it now. You only have to pay the price of how much Mage you are." Lita said, amazed.
"Correct. But you'd better hurry because you still have to get your other supplies." He said, rushing them out of the store.
"What an odd, but nice man." Diana said making sure no one heard her.
"Yes, all the people here are odd." Artamis agreed.
"We should get going it is almost nine o'clock at home." Trista said, looking at her watch.
"So what is the closest thing from here?" Michelle asked looking at the small computer screen.
"The closest thing is the book shop." Amy said pointing down the street.
"Let's hurry. I want to go home soon." Mina said, walking in the direction Amy pointed to.
"I'm with you, Mina." Serena said, following her blonde friend.
When they got into the shop Amy took out her list of things to get, "We need about eight books this year." She counted.
"Eight books..." Serena whined.
"So you are looking for all the first year books?" A man at the desk asked.
"You understand us?" Mina asked, surprised.
"There is a spell on this place so what ever language you speak all the people can understand it in their native tongue. Almost like a 'speak all languages spell'." He explained.
"Well, do you have those books in Japanese?" Hotaru asked. She could barely speak English, let alone read it.
"Yes I have a special stock of all the books in this store in many different languages." He said moving to the back of the room, "How many do you need of each?"
"Ten each." said Trista.
"There goes my stock." He grumbled.
When they finally paid for all the books they immediately put them all in their packs.
"And still room for something else." Mina remarked, closing her pack.
"Well I think we may have lockers or something to put them in. Or we can out them in our dorm rooms." Lita said shoving her things in.
"What else is there?" Serena asked, not bothering looking at the computer.
"We can get the telescopes, phials, scales, cauldron, and gloves at the general shop about two streets from here." Amy said looking down the street. They all went and got the items and while passing by to the potion's place they saw a 'Know All Tongues' place. "Hey, they may have a device that can help us speak English and while the teacher is talking it translates to Japanese!" Hotaru squealed as she ran to the door. All of them followed her in.
The shop did have what they were looking for. Now who ever they were speaking to could understand it in English and when they were talking to them, they would hear it in Japanese.
"This is now going to be so much easier for us!" Raye exclaimed as she put the device in her bag.
"And they are small enough so that they fit in our ear and the mouth piece goes on the roof of our mouth. Not to mention that it is so small and it only comes out when you tap your mouth and say 'out'." Mina smiled as she put hers away.
"So we do not have to worry about swallowing them of it slurring our speech." Amy said while looking at her computer.
"And the best thing is, we cannot lose it because no matter what it will always appear where ever you are." cried Serena with joy.
"That's good for you." Rini giggled.
Then after getting the device they all went to the place to buy potions for their ingredients for the potions class. Then they had to get the ink, pens, and paper.
"Where is the stationary shop in this place?" Michelle asked, looking around.
"Up the street and then take a right at your second street." Amy said as she got up to follow her own directions.
When they got into the store it was covered in pens and ink, not to mention a lot of parchment. It reminded them of the wand shop except more cheerful. Lita's eyes shone with excitement when she looked at all the green pens and ink.
"Only you, Lita." commented Amara.
"We have to get a couple pens, few vials of ink, and about a school year of parchment." Mina said looking at her list.
Lita got her ink in a very deep emerald green ("Go figure." said everyone else.). Hotaru got a lovely shade of purple. Amy got blue and Rini got a dark shade of pink. Serena got pink and blue mixed together. Trista got burgundy. Michelle got sea foam green/aqua. Amara and Raye got orange and red ink. Then they all went to the parchment section of the store. Sure enough they had a measurement called year supply, just in case they each got two. Once they paid for all the items they still had one more thing to do, they had to pick up their uniforms. By the time that was done and everything else was completed they were totally exhausted.
"How in the world are we going to get home?" Rini puffed.
"I know we are to tired to even get five of us back home." Raye said, sitting on a bench. "Well we couldn't go home anyway. It is now twelve a.m. at home." Trista said, looking at her watch.
"We should rest up here and then go back when it's morning." Lita suggested.
They all went to this inn called the 'Three Broomsticks Inn'. When they got there, Lita bumped in to a short man who, when hit, jumped strait into the air.
"I'm so sorry sir." said Lita.
The man stuttered out a few squeaks and an apology and rushed from the store. "Weird man..." muttered Raye.
"You're telling me." said Mina.
"No, I mean that I got weird vibes from him." Raye replied.
"Maybe it was nothing." Serena said in a nervous tone.
"Hello ladies, may I help you?" asked a man at the front desk.
"Yes, we wou..." Trista started.
"Who was that man that just left?" Raye interrupted, "The one with the turban."
"Oh him, his name is Quarall. He is the new Defense against Dark Arts for Hogwarts. "Thank you." Raye said.
"Anything else?" the man asked.
"Yes, we would like a room to spend the night please." Trista said before anyone else could interrupt her.
"Night? It is still day." The man looked puzzled.
"In our time, Japan, it is pretty late there." Hotaru explained, yawning.
"Ok, here you go, follow me."
They followed the man up to a room. Once there they flopped on to a bed and almost immediately fell asleep, except Raye, who lay awake for a while trying to make sense of the vibes. Finally all slept.
By the time it was ten o'clock at home it was dark there and all the people were at home or in the inn.
"We should go to an ally, transform there, and then teleport home." Mina suggested.
They all ran to the original they entered in, transformed, and teleported home. When they got home Serena's mom was there to greet them.
"How was your trip?" She smiled at the girls and gave each a hug.
"Tiring." replied Serena, almost falling over from the weight of her books.
"Well looks like you have everything." Her mother said looking at all the packages the girls had.
"This school has one weird supply list." Hotaru said putting her bags down.
"I know. Even the little goblin at the bank said that we all had accounts there from when our parents put money in there." Raye said, looking at Serena's mother.
"They may be talking about your afterlife parents." Serena's mother said, looking as innocent as she could.
"Then they know all about us." Lita said, looking at her supply list.
"I wonder if the head master was part of the silver millennium?" Mina said, looking at the sky.
"Then we should be on the look out for strange things going on. And while we are there we should always be on our guard." Lita said, also looking at the sky.
"But I still wonder what this school will be like." Michelle said looking at Amara.
"I really have no clue. The one you should be asking is Trista." Amara said in response.
"Trista, is there something that you would like to tell us?" Michelle said with an evil stare.
"I never looked this far into the future." Trista said with a sweatdrop going down the side of her head.
Everyone fell over.
