Chapter 8: A walk on the Fence...

Inside Gringotts London...

"That was fun..." Nanoha stated as she and the others walked out of the fireplace. "But it's different." Nanoha stated as Harry left them to head for the main desk.

"Let's wait near the entrance." Hayate stated while relaying to Harry.

After a few minutes the group left Gringotts...

"Okay the first things we need is wands." Harry stated as he glanced at the list, and they passed a man in a turban." Here's a place." Harry stated as he looked at the sign, Ollivander's Maker of fine wands since 382 B.C. "Must be an old family."

"Has to be, or very good marketing." Fate stated as they all went in.

"Curious, five new students." an old man stated as he walked up. "I'm Ollivander." He stated as he looked at them. "Who will be first?"

"I'll go." Fate stated as she stepped forward.

"Let's see ten inches, holly, and dragon heart string." Ollivander picked a wand from a shelf and handed it to her but quickly took it back. "No, it would be too weak for you." Ollivander muttered as he went farther into his shop, and came back with a selection of boxes. "Try this one twelve inches, a rare type of tree, Ironwood, with a Basilisk fang, one of the oldest wands here."

"Basilisk fang?" Fate asked as she held the wand and she felt energy off of it.

"My, my, a very picky customer." Ollivander stated with a smile. "And a Basilisk is a very rare snake. That would be twenty Gallons." Ollivander stated as he looked at the rest.

"May we pay all together?" Harry asked as he saw Fate's face pale.

"Sure, sure, so..." Ollivander started to say when Nanoha stepped up. "Hmmm... Let's try eleven inches, Black Rose, and a dragon heart string." Ollivander stated as he handed a wand to Nanoha but then quickly snatched it. "No, no, that won't do... ten inches, Willow, and unicorn hair." Ollivander stated again as he handed another wand to her but again took it away. "My, my two tricky customers in a row... let's try this one, fourteen inches, Cherry, with a unicorn horn." Ollivander stated as he handed Nanoha another wand but didn't take it back. "Curious... that one hasn't picked a customer before..." Ollivander quietly stated as he looked at the others. "That also will be twenty Gallons."

"Wow..." Nanoha stated as she held the wand like Fate.

"I'll go next." Hayate stated as she held her hand out.

"I'll start off with the tricky ones." Ollivander stated as he grabbed a box at random. "Let's see, thirteen and a half inches, Pine, with a griffon feather." Ollivander stated as he looked surprised to see it matched. "I've rarely picked it on my first try."

"I see what you mean." Hayate stated as she looked at the stick. "I'm guessing it's twenty Gallons."

"That one my dear, is twenty-five." Ollivander replied making Hayate laugh.

"I'm going next." Vita stated as she looked at Ollivander in the face.

"A brave one, but aren't you nine?" Ollivander asked knowing that she could be eleven.

"Not really, I just look it." Vita replied. "I'm cursed to remain nine in appearance."

"What a dreadful curse." Ollivander stated as he looked at her, looked at the pile, then looked at her once more before turning around and went to the back of the shop.

"I think I'm in trouble." Vita stated as everyone blinked.

"I'm sorry, but this wand was made when this shop was first built, and no one was ever picked by it and I do believe it might choose you. Nine and three quarter inches, Black Alder, and a fragment of a star." Ollivander stated as he placed it in her hand and was flummoxed that is flared to life in her hand. "The wand chooses it's master, please remember that." Ollivander stated as he looked at Harry.

"It's probably going to be an uncommon wand." Harry stated as he looked curious. "How much is Vita's wand going to be?"

"Ah, Fifty Gallons, for such a rare wand like that." Ollivander stated as he shuffled into the store, and came back holding a box. "I'm curious, may I ask for you name young man?"

"Harry Potter." Harry replied giving it the English way of saying a name.

"Ah... then this wand might be the best choice." Ollivander stated as he opened it." Eleven inches, Holly, with a phoenix feather. One which has only one other feather given." Ollivander stated as Harry felt the power in the wand. "Great things you will do, be it dark or light, just like it's brother." Ollivander stated with a frown. "Whatever happened to your scar?"

"Scar?" Harry asked as he looked a fronted.

"I see, something happened to it. That is not for me to discuss." Ollivander stated as he looked at Harry. "In total it's one hundred and twenty-four Gallons." Ollivander stated as Harry paid for all of them.

Outside the shop...

"That was weird." Harry stated in Japanese.

"I agree." Hayate continued in Japanese. "Let's get the robes." Hayate stated as she lead them down the road and met a blonde haired kid waiting outside a shop. "Can you help us?" Hayate asked as she looked at the signs.

"If you can't find what you are looking for you must be the other kind of magicals." the kid stated in a huff.

"Actually we are from another country." Hayate stated with the same type of huff.

"Ah, in that case, which country?" the kid asked.

"Why Japan." Hayate replied with a mischievous grin. "You know it would help to know someone to help guide us around so that we do get a good impression." Hayate stated with her grin in place.

"Ah, my name is Draco Malfoy." Draco stated as his mother walked out of the store. "Mother these are some transfers from Japan." Draco stated with some importance.

"Ah, these must be the students the board of Directors was talking about." Draco's mother stated with some disdain.

"I've yet to ask for their names." Draco stated as Hayate took the cue.

"My name is Hayate Yagami." Hayate stated making Narcissa's eyebrow rise up.

"The daughter of the fabled Yagami Fuu." Narcissa stated with some pride.

"I'm sorry but I never knew my parents." Hayate stated with her head down. "I grew up only knowing my name."

"I'm Nanoha Takamachi." Nanoha stated.

"Another famous name, but hasn't been heard of since before Grindelwald's time." Narcissa stated with a slight frown.

"I see." Nanoha stated as she inwardly smiled. 'A clue to the vault.'

"Fate Harlaown, but I'm adopted." Fate stated as she looked down. "My family did practice magic for the longest time, before my mother went insane." Fate stated angrily.

"There, there, no need to be ashamed of the way that your mother acted." Narcissa stated before frowning. "You never did state what you older family's name was."

"You've probably never heard of them. The Testarossas." Fate stated and Narcissa nodded.

"You are correct, I've never heard of them." Narcissa replied. "And you young man."

"Harry Potter. I've lived in Japan for some time." Harry stated shrugging.

"Draco you have my permission." Narcissa stated as she knelt next to him to whisper. "Do whatever it takes to be there friends, the Yagami and Takamachi girls, and importantly Potter, the girls are from very powerful mages, that could take out all the Death eaters alone, if your father finds out that you could have been friends and you threw it away, he won't protect you from the rules." Narcissa stated as she then looked at the red head. "I didn't catch you name.

"Vita Potter." Vita stated soundly. "I joined the family through other means." Vita stated, before smiling. "And I know for a fact that I can trace my history to hundreds of different families, just that I can't remember them all." Vita stated making Narcissa's smile to waver.

"And how did you join the Potters?" Narcissa asked.

"A quite complicated matter." Vita replied as she looked at Harry, who shook his head no. "And we don't have the time to discuss it. We do need our school supplies." Vita stated tactfully.

"I understand, now Draco, show them around and make sure to get all the books needed for this country." Narcissa ordered as she walked away from the group.

"Finally!" Draco stated as he looked at them. "Well, let's start off for Madam Malkin's." Draco stated as he lead them to the store.

"You know Draco, you could grow you hair out." Hayate stated as she looked at his platinum blonde hair.

"What do you mean?" Draco asked as he pointed out the book store that they would need to head for next.

"Well, in Japan, magic is covered up by the fact that there is people who dress up in costumes of their favorite characters." Hayate stated as she looked at a store.

"And..." Draco waved his hand for her to continue.

"And you kind of remind me of a character named Kurama." Hayate stated as she looked at him closely.

"I'll think about it." Draco stated as he lead them in.

"Back again Mr. Malfoy." Madam Malkin stated as she then saw he had lead a group inside the store. "Need some help?" she asked the newcomers.

"We are going to head for Hogwarts..." Harry started to say but was interrupted by Malkin.

"Say no more." She stated as she hustled the five in and within moments they had left the shop.

"That was kind of embarrassing." Vita muttered as she rubbed her arms.

"This is probably the second to last place we will be visiting." Draco stated as he lead them to the book store and showed them around, he then handed all five a separate book that wasn't on the list. "This has all the rules and regulations for Briton's Magical people." Draco stated as he saw all their faces. "And as you are from a different country, you need to abide by our laws as you remain here." Draco stated as he spied another book and picked it up for himself.

Outside...

"Now for the last place..." Draco stated as he pointed to an ingredient store. "This is where you will stock up on potion ingredients and buy caldrons. And also where we shall part ways for now." Draco stated as he went to where his mother would be waiting. 'I know that bringing Crabbe and Goyle to our next meeting would be disastrous. Who do I know that has an open mind... Well we only met once...' Draco thought as he found his mother and told her the interesting offer that Hayate had given him, not explaining what it was.

After they had left the shop...

"That's the last thing, Harry." Hayate stated with a groan and in Japanese.

"Did you really hope he joins you and your little crusade?" Harry asked back in Japanese.

"Who?" another female asked in Japanese.

"And you are?" Vita asked as she looked at the bushy haired girl.

"Granger Hermione." Hermione replied in Japanese, then blinked as Vita asked in English. "You can speak English as well?" Hermione asked in surprise.

"You can do the same." Harry stated in mock anger. "Vita here can speak some German." Harry stated with a smirk.

"Mas..." Vita started to say but stopped when Harry glared at her. "Just because I can speak it doesn't mean I like to." Vita stated looking away.

"So miss Granger, what brings you here?" Hayate asked as she saw the bags in hand.

"Will be heading to school soon." Hermione stated with a smile.

"Same." Fate stated holding out a hand. "Would like to know where this platform nine and three-quarters is." Fate muttered making Hermione blink.

"The professor never told you?" Hermione asked making them all nod. "Well... it's located on the fourth pillar between platform nine and ten, as you walk in from the parking lot, the pillar works as a gateway." Hermione stated as she saw her parents. "Hope we get along at school."

A/N: And another cog of Dumbledore's pan goes awry... and Is Draco going to do what his mother asked him to do... and what's with the wands that the group got... Hmmm... Well for now, It's a secret.
