Chapter 4: We're off to Meet the Wizards...
Last Time:
"Well Harry it is true. Something happened and they are now wizards." Remus said as softly as possible. Harry was in a state of disbelief and then... he hit the floor. Harry had fainted.
"Harry... Harry wake up" Remus begged shaking the boy. "Come on Harry! Its time to get up now..." you could see that Remus was growing slightly frantic.
"Well don't your lot know how to wake someone up in events such as these?" Uncle Vernon asked with amusement clear in his voice, not only at seeing his nephew faint but at the adult wizards obvious, in his mind, stupidity.
"Oh, yes right..." replied Remus shaking his head. He pulled out his wand and pointed it at Harry "Ennervate!" Harry jerked awake ruffly almost bumping heads with the elder wizard.
"Merlin's Beard I just had the most awful dream." Harry spoke softly rubbing his head, he had obviously not seen Remus yet.
"And what dream was that Harry." Remus asked speaking softly.
"Oh My Godric! Remus, it wasn't a dream was it?" asked Harry uncertainly begging his practically uncle/friend/ex-professor/person with his eyes to tell him it was all a dream.
"No I'm sorry Harry, it wasn't a dream."
"Shit."
"I WILL NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF LANGUAGE SPOKE IN MY HOUSE POTTER" Uncle Whale (Vernon) yelled ending the semi-sweet moment. He was ignored but it did snap Harry and Remus out of their little uncle/nephew-like moment. Remus helped Harry up and he (Harry) went to sit down on a chair in the corner.
"So now the reason I'm here is to not only explain to you that you are wizards but to also bring you to get your school supplies..." Remus began but was rudely cut off by Peter Polkiss.
"Okay hold on a minute we never said that we were allowing our children to go to this school!" a round of agreements followed this statement.
"Well why wouldn't you?" asked Remus confused.
"Because maybe we don't want our children to be wizards." stated Rebbecca Mandez
"Well, They are wizards weather you want them to be or not. But you do have a choice to either send them to Hogwarts were they will learn to control their magic. Or let them continue on with their lives as normally as possible..." Remus began but was cut off by Holly Derikson,
"I think that we'll all chose the second option."
"And that may be but you didn't let me finish my statement Mrs. ... ("Derikson" she informed him.) ...Derikson. You can continue life as normal as possible but their magic will be untamed and out of control. It would be an... ugly, situation. Also it would be the child's choice not yours to make as they are all of age."
"They are only 17!" exclaimed Peter
"Which is the wizarding age of adulthood. For at seventeen a wizard or witch is usually almost finished their schooling and are most-likely mature enough to use magic as they wish." informed Remus.
"Well then, Gordan do you want to go to this... school?" Gary Gardner turned and asked his son.
"Umm... ahh... I-I d-don't really know dad. I-I mean if nothing would happen to me, ever, if I didn't go then I would probably not want to go, but if its going to be a problem to anyone I think I'll go?" He said more as a question to his father than his actual answer.
"I see well then it appears that Gordan will be going to Hogwarts." His father stated and remained silent for the rest of the meeting. The other parents, minus the Dursleys followed suit with the Gardner's example. The Dusleys on the other hand seemed to be having a mental breakdown. Petunia had thrown herself at Dudley crying hysterically while Vernon began to become purple in the face. He slowly turned towards his son and through clenched teeth he spoke to Dudley.
"Dudley do you want to go to your cousin's freak school." The room had seemed to have gone silent.
"Dad I ..."
"Oh Vernon he'll HAVE to go." Petunia exclaimed looking at Vernon. "If not think of what will happen! Do you remember when Marge was over a couple of years ago? Do you? Do you remember what that boy did to her?!"
"Well yes Petunia but..."
"But, nothing the boy had training. He was able to pretty much control his magic but look what he did to her! Think of it happening everywhere Dudley went! People blowing up! Things exploding! He'll be locked in jail! Or those freaks will take him away!"
"Mom I..." "Petunia..." "He'll be even more of a freak then my nephew! Then my sister! Then my brother-in-law! Do you remember my sister's wedding?! Hummm,... do you remember that little girl that was there that blow the cake up in her and her freakish husband's faces?!"
"MOM!" "Yes Dudley dearest?" "What is it son?"
"I'm going to that school." Dudley stated with a thats-final tone in his voice. You could see that Vernon was about to explode but Remus tactfully stepped in.
"Okay so that's great you're all going! Marvelous! So we'll need to go and get your supplies today..." Remus started but was rudely interrupted by Peter.
"... and where on earth can they get the supplies that is on this list?"
"He was about to get to that!" started Harry but but Remus cut him off "Diagon Alley"
"And where is this Diagon Alley?" asked Mitchel.
"In London..."again began Remus but he was again cut off, but this time by Lucy Polkiss.
"I have NEVER heard of such a place in London!" she stated sure of herself for Lucy prided herself on knowing London like the back of her hand.
"Well you wouldn't have, it's entrance is in a place called the Leaky Cauldron, which has an enchantment on it so as no one can see it unless they are looking for it." Remus explained. "We'll need to go there today though. So you need to get some money I'd say around the 300 pound range um... and anything else you need to do and meet us back here at say 12:00?" Remus asked looking at his watch.
"12:00 will be fine." said Derek Derikson getting up, his family following him, and walked out of the door. After other forced polite goodbyes everyone but the Dursleys, Harry, and Remus were gone.
"Okay so you all can get ready and what not while Harry and I go upstairs." Remus smiled and Harry led him up the stairs and out of sight. Vernon and Petunia looked at each other in disbelief. Slowly they looked away from each other and faced their son.
"SO you are going to become a..." Vernon began but was cut off by his wife.
"Vernon we don't have time for this! We need to get dressed to go shopping and go to the bank to get some money."
"Of course dear." he said stiffly. "I'll go to the bank and you pick out some cloths and lay them on the bed will you." He said going for the door.
"I'll just go upstairs and get ready?" Dudley asked
"Yes,... Yes go on sweetums go get ready." Petunia said as she began to walk up the stairs to her and her husband's rooms.
With R+H:
"So why did they send you and not a teacher?" asked Harry digging through his trunk to find some suitable cloths.
"Well Dumbledore said that he needed an Order member to do it and someone who could calm you down if need be. And also I was the only one at headquarters with nothing to do today." Remus answered with a smile.
"Ah, So they are really coming to Hogwarts huh?" Harry replied pulling out of his trunk a pair of jeans, and an 'Avada Suck Your Blood' band tee (a/n:lol! Vampire rock band!)."I'm just going to go and put these on."
"Go right ahead."
12:00
Almost everyone arrived on time and Remus again stood in front of the room. This time with Harry by his side.
"Okay everyone we're just waiting for my fiancee..."
"Since when are you getting married?" asked Harry pleasantly surprised.
"Since April, no one told you?" Remus asked
"Umm... no."
"Oh, well Dora and I are getting married August 16, the invitation will be going out next week."
"So you and Tonks are finally together,... and getting married?"
"Yes."
"Oh, well cong..." Harry started but was interrupted by the door opening loudly
"I am SO sorry I'm late darling!" A strikingly beautiful, and undeniably eccentric women stepped through the Dusley's doorway. She was perfectly curvaceous with shoulder length layered (with blunt bangs) bright red hair with thick black and thin platinum blond highlights. Long black eyelashes surrounded her almond shaped violet eyes. She had tastefully high cheek bones, and semi-full(pouty but not overly pouty) lips that were stained red. She was wearing a tight white and gold stripped sweater that hung over a black pleated skirt that rested at her upper thigh. Her legs were covered in black fishnet stockings and black, leather, pointed toe, stiletto, knee high boots. She smiled, her perfect pearly white teeth shining, as she walked up to Remus, tripping several times, and kissed him. She turned to Harry. "Wother Harry!" She gave him a hug and a kiss on the check.
"Hey Tonks! You diffidently look... different." Harry stated
"Well I do try" She said to him before turning to the others her diamond ring catching in the light. "So who is ready to go shopping?"
"We all are dear do you have the portkey?"
"Yes it is right,..." She said taking out of seemingly no where a pillowcase. "Here! It'll be activated as soon as Harry touches it!"
"Okay then Harry grabs on last everybody grab somewhere on the pillowcase. That's it ladies grab your purses and what not, Harry now." Remus instructed. Once Harry touched the pillowcase everyone felt a jerk around their navel and before they knew it they were landing on a carpeted floor.
"OMG!" "WHAT WAS THAT?!" "WHERE ARE WE?!"s and the like was heard around the room.
"That my friends was a portkey a sort of wizard travel we are... where are we Dora?" Remus asked his fiancee
"We are at Kingsley's Grandmother's flat. She is staying with his mom for the day so if we don't mess up anything she will never know we were here." Tonks stated
"Did you get permission to come here?" Remus asked surprised at where they were.
"OF COURSE! Kingsley said she lives on the same street as the Leaky Cauldron so he gave me his copy of her house key." She said showing him the key on her necklace.
"Well okay then lets go." Remus instructed leading everyone out of the door which Tonks locked behind them. They made there way down the stairs and onto the busy streets of London they took a left and walked along the sidewalk trying to stay together. After about ten minutes of walking Harry spotted the Leaky Cauldron and since Remus and Tonks seemed to be in their own little world in front of everyone else Harry turned to the others to point out were they were going.
"That's it just up ahead." Harry told them "the Leaky Cauldron. It's a famous place." The Muggle(borns) looked were he pointed they all appeared to see it and all appeared to dislike it. To which Harry was not surprised.
It was a tiny, grubby-looking pub. The people hurrying by didn't glance at it. Their eyes slid from the big book shop on one side to the record shop on the other as if they couldn't see the Leaky Cauldron at all.
"Okay gang here we are! The Leaky Cauldron." Remus seemed to have finally returned to earth as he opened the door for them all to walk in.
For a famous place, it was very dark and shabby. A few old women were sitting in a corner, drinking tiny glasses of sherry. One of them was smoking a long pipe. A little man in a top hat was talking to the old barman, who was quite bald and looked like a gummy walnut. He turned towards them when the light hit his eyes.
"Hello all can I get you anything?"
"Hello Tom! No thank you, we'll just be using the entrance"
"Well all right then." he had returned to his conversation.
Remus led them through the bar and out into a small, walled courtyard, where there was nothing but a dustbin and a few weeds. After looking around confused the others (as they will be called for the rest of the chapter) looked at Remus stupidly for he was counting bricks in the wall above the dustbin.
"Three up... two across..." he muttered. "Right, stand back."
He tapped the wall three times with the point of his wand.
The brick he had touched quivered - it wriggled - in the middle, a small hole appeared - it grew wider and wider - a second later they were facing an archway large enough even for Uncle Vernon, an archway on to a cobbled street which twisted and turned out of sight.
"Welcome," said Remus, "to Diagon Alley."
He grinned at the others amazement. They stepped through the archway.
The sun shone brightly on a stack of cauldrons outside the nearest shop. Cauldrons - All Sizes - Copper, Brass, Pewter, Silver - Self-Stirring - Collapsible said a sign hanging over them.
"Yeah, you all will be needing one of those," said Tonks said to the others, "but we gotta get your money first."
Everyone wished that they had about eight more eyes. Harry watched as they turned their heads in every direction as they walked up the street, trying to look at everything at once: the shops, the things outside them, the people doing their shopping. A plump woman outside an apothecary's was shaking her head as they passed, saying, "Dragon liver, 2 gallons an ounce, they're mad..."
A low, soft hooting came from a dark shop with a sign saying Eeylops Owl Emporium - Tawny, Screech, Barn, Brown and Snowy.
Several boys of around 10 years of age had their noses pressed against a window with broomsticks in it. "Look," they heard one of them say, "the new Nimbus Three Thousand! The fastest Nimbus yet-"
There were shops selling robes, shops selling telescopes and strange silver instruments that the others had never seen before, windows stacked with barrels of bat spleens and eels' eyes, tottering piles of spell books, quills and rolls of parchment, potion bottles, globes of the moon...
"We'll be needing to change your money at Gringotts" Remus told them as they reached a snowy-white building which towered over the other little shops. Standing beside its burnished bronze doors, wearing a uniform of scarlet and gold, was a goblin. He bowed as they walked inside. Now they were facing a second pair of doors, silver this time, with words engraved upon them that they went through to fast to be able to read.
A pair of goblins bowed them through the silver doors and they were in a vast marble hall. About a hundred more goblins were sitting on high stools behind a long counter, scribbling in large ledgers, weighing coins on brass scales, examining precious stones through eyeglasses. There were too many doors to count leading off the hall, and yet more goblins were showing people in and out of these. Remus and Harry made for the counter.
"Good Morning." said Harry to a free goblin. "I'm come to make a withdrawl."
"Do you have your key, sir?"
"Yes" said Harry holding up a golden key.
The goblin looked at it closely.
"That seems to be in order."
"Very well," he said, handing it back to Harry, "I will have someone take you down to both vaults. Griphook!"
Griphook was yet another goblin. Harry followed Griphook and Tonks followed Harry towards one of the doors leading off the hall.
"Where are they going?" asked Vernon to Remus.
"To the Potter's safe." he answered but before Vernon could retort he had walked up to a Goblin. "I would like to make an exchange from muggle pounds."
"Of course follow me." said the goblin getting down from his desk and walking towards they door behind it. Remus and the others followed him. "How many groups do you have said the goblin looking at the numerous people following Remus.
"Five."
"I'll take one at a time." said the goblin motioning to the Gardners to follow him.
"Whats going on in there?" asked Lucy Polkiss
"They are exchanging your muggle pounds into wizard coins." Remus informed
"What are wiz..." but the Gardners had already come out, Gordan holding a velvet bag in one of his hands, the goblin following them and he motioned for the Polkiss family to follow him. They exchange when quietly after that. Once everyone had their money they walked back into the main hall waiting for Harry and Tonks to arrive. After ten minutes of waiting Uncle Vernon couldn't take it anymore.
"WHAT on EARTH is taking them so long?" he demanded of Remus.
"The Potter's safe is deep under the bank." After another few minutes Harry and Tonks arrived.
"Well I'm famished! Lets go back to the Leaky Cauldron for lunch shall we?" she asked
"Would you like that?" Remus asked the others.
"Yes I'm hungry." said little John Derikson. The others couldn't help but agreed.
"Well off we go." said Harry getting up and moving towards the silver doors.
