HELLOOOOOOO~ :D Here comes the 2 chapters for today! I also wanna say real quick that I noticed 1 typo mistake and I forgot to translate 2 words for you, so here are the words:

Nakama: Friends; in Zoro's case his nakama is his crew

Futon: a Japanese style bed; looks like a comfy mat and it doesn't have the spring-technology we have in our beds.

Hope you guys forgive me ;3; ONWARDS!

Wasn't the choice obvious?

"Okay old man," sighed Zoro, since he knew he had just been cornered, "I'll be in your little school. But as soon as I can leave, you better let me."

The last line was dripping with bitterness. Zoro's eye narrowed and gleamed to emphasize his distaste, almost making Dumbledore frown at the raw power he felt seep out of the young man seated before him. It was a dark, raging aura, with so much hatred laced within it. So much evil.

"My lad, you have my word."

Zoro relaxed somewhat at that simple phrase.

'Promises are easily breakable…'

"Care for a lemon drop before you go to get what you need?", offered Dumbledore. Without even waiting for a reply, the old man reached into a small bowl that was sitting on the corner of his desk and held out a curious little yellow oval for Zoro to take. The said swordsman cautiously took it between his thumb and index finger, and brought it up to his eye to examine in. The door behind them slid open, making Zoro turn his eye to the door. Before he could stop it, however, his hand suddenly jerked to his mouth and shoved the oval in his mouth.

'… Werid. But okay… Shitty old man.'

"Sir, you summoned me?", asked an old lady. She wore a long, black robe that had long, flowing sleeves and a billowing skirt. Underneath she had on a black under skirt and a puffy turtleneck. The last thing she had was her black, wide rimmed witches hat. Her wrinkly face was in a firm poker face, yet her defined smile lines said otherwise about her apparent, stick-in-the-mud tone. She glanced at Zoro with her sea blue eyes, scowling at his hair before bringing her attention back to Dumbledore.

"Ahhh, yes Minerva. You see, this young man is in need of some first year supplies, and I was going to send Serverus with him, but you seemed to be free at the moment.", exclaimed Dumbledore, who smiled slightly as the lady turned to the boy with a curious expression.

"Why wasn't he at the Sorting, then? Is he not an enrolled student?", she asked, giving Zoro another one-over with her inquisitive eyes, making Zoro feel a bit uncomfortable and out of place. Like he was not supposed to be there at all.

"Oh, not at all!", Dumbledore said in a childish tone, making Minerva bring her attention back to the senile old man. "In fact, he just got enrolled just now! All he needs is a quick trip to Diagon Alley."

The lady looked a bit flustered, but she agreed to go. She gestured to Zoro, telling him to get up and come towards a fireplace located to Dumbledore's left. Minerva used this small walk to quickly get through introductions.

"Okay, young man. What is your name?", she asked politely. Zoro didn't know how to react around her. He was so confused about the situation. He decided to just act submissive and do whatever they ask him to. He only needed to get through this, right?

"Roronoa Zoro. Just call me Zoro.", he mumbled, sounding a bit shy to Minerva.

"Well, I am Minerva McGonagall, but as a student, you are to call me Professor McGonagall, is that clear Roronoa?"

"Yes ma'am…", Zoro replied, looking down at his too-big shoes.


"And here we are! Diagon Alley.", McGonagall announced, as Zoro stumbled out of a green fireplace.

'Never… Again…', Zoro thought, panting with his hands on his knees. He took a few seconds to do so before looking around. They seemed to be in some sort of pub, filled to the brim with pointy hats. McGonagall was already at the entrance of the pub, waving over at Zoro impatiently. As quickly as he could without stumbling from his previous transport, Zoro shoved thru the crowd and exited the pub. Now he was in middle of a long, crowded street, lined with so many different goods and people. Looking back at the pub, he saw the colorful sign say, " The Leaky Couldron".

"Come along, Roronoa. We must hurry, now!", called out McGonagall, who was currently standing in front of a large, fancy building that took the whole street corner called " Gringotts Wizarding Bank". Cursing and grumbling as he went, Zoro pushed through some more people and finally reached Minerva. As they went in, Zoro noticed a complete difference in decore from the outside. Compared to the musty, graying marble on the outside, the inside was filled to the roof with beautiful, swirling pillars of gold lined marble, and the floors did not even have a speck of dust. McGonagall strode straight to the desk at the end of the grand hall, quickly addressing the weird little… creature? Zoro just shook his head and slowly crossed over to the two, taking his time to observe the little men as they counted coins.


McGonagall hastily speed right out of Gringotts, looking just a bit green to Zoro, and marched onward. Personally, Zoro was also a bit queasy, but he liked the ride to and from the Hogwarts vault. It was exhilarating. He followed Minerva to the door of a shop called "Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions". Opon entering, Zoro was greeted with a loose black blouse to the face.

"Sorry dearie! Goodness me, look at those horrendous clothes! So baggy and dirty!"

A middle aged woman scurried over to Zoro initially to retrieve the mischievous blouse, but after looking him over, she gripped her dark green maids dress with an expression of pure horror and grabbed his hand, dragging him up on a small, round platform. Magical tape measures and rulers zipped around him, measuring his height and width with rigor.

"Hmmm… Too muscular to look good in stiffer robes. Oh well, Hogwarts should give him his school robes... Too tall for long cloaks… Ah, now wait a minute!", exclaimed the woman as she ran hurriedly down a row of trousers and tunics. McGonagall just tsked lightly in empathy as she sat on a small stool by the platform, watching somewhat smugly as the lady came back and forced Zoro to take off his clothes, via almost tearing them off of him. Flustered, Zoro tried in vain not to blush in embarrassment at the woman's man handling.

"Here we are! A nice, long sleeved button up shirt, a dark green tunic with a small stitch of leather to close the neck line… A pair of black trousers and dark grey cargo pants… A short, elbow length maroon cloak… Oh my, I forgot! A hat!"

As magic made Zoro try on the button up shirt, black trousers and the cloak, the lady hastily scurried to a shelf of hats and scanned for the perfect sized one. She finally decided upon a hat with a really wide rim that seemed to blend into the loose upper half. She smushed it on his head with a loud but dull smack and had Zoro spin around. She beamed happily, choosing to ignore Zoro's look of complete hatred.

"Now, would you like new shoes? And would you like for me to mend your original clothes to fit you?"

"Yes ma'am. No shoes.", said Zoro, his smile and voice sickly sweet with forced poleitness. The woman just clapped excitedly, and with a flick of her wand, some needles and thread attacked the clothes with gusto. Within two minutes they came to a halt. Zoro, finally with a genuinely happy appearance, snatched the clothing from the air and tucked them protectively to his side, wedging them in the sword belt the lady had ignored.

"Please come ag-!", called out the lady as they finally left the shop, the door slaming shut before the lady could finish her sencence, at which Zoro smirked at.
