Chapter 9 – Thestral Hair
London, England
December 7th, 0067 :: 12:30 PM
In an alleyway between two buildings, a blue circle appeared, and five figures appeared within it.
"So this is London, huh?" asked Yunno aloud, his tongue rolling a bit over the unfamiliar English words.
"Apparently," replied Fate, her accent just as foreign.
"So does anyone know where this 'leaky cauldron' place is?" asked Kagami in smooth English, which earned her a few looks, "what? I get good language grades, okay? Just, start moving."
They exited into a mob, hundreds of people went about doing their daily business, shopping and working, no one said anything, but there was noise all around them. The group pushed through the throng, following Kagami, who was navigating the crowd, looking for the supposed pub.
"Hey, is that it?" asked Yunno, straining to get his voice over the sounds of construction, pointing to a small dingy black building, 'The Leaky Cauldron' proclaimed the sign. Some people gave him strange looks, but they pushed through the crowd, and stood on the sidewalk next to it. People kept walking by them, but they seemed to simply skip over the pub while scanning the store front.
"Weird," muttered Hayate under her breath in Japanese.
"Well," said Yunno, "this is where I leave you, good luck!" he gave a merry wave, and disappeared into the crowd.
The quartet entered the door to the pub, finding themselves in a bar filled with strangely dressed people, wearing all sorts of robes you might find in a history museum. The noise in the bar stopped momentarily at the sight of four Japanese girls, all wearing black zipper hoodies and carrying black messenger bags, provided by Lindy, but the sound resumed after a second.
"New students, then?" called the bartender, an old toothless man, who spoke with a strange accent, "come with me," he motioned for them to follow him, leading them to a bricked backroom.
"Here you go," the man tapped several bricks on the wall with a stick, "enjoy the show, and good luck."
The bricks making up the wall began to move around, forming a giant archway, revealing a huge alley, filled with shops of every kind possible. To the four mages, it looked sort of rubbish, but from what they'd seen it was definitely magic.
"Okay, first up…" Fate began to scan her list, "first we go to-"
"What's a Gringotts?" asked Nanoha, tapping the entry on her list.
"If the letter is right, its where we're supposed to exchange foreign currency for theirs," said Fate, scanning the page, she looked up, "I would guess they don't accept TSAB credits, who here has yen on them?"
"I think Lindy opened an account under one of us for this," said Kagami aloud, "I would guess it would be either me or Fate."
"You think they could check?" asked Hayate.
"Most likely," shrugged Kagami, "we'll find out anyway, let's go."
The group slowly made their way through the crowd towards the large marble building which was supposedly the bank, if it wasn't, they could probably get directions anyways. The doors opened upon their approach, showing them the interior of a huge room. While it was still busy, it still had that quiet feel that professional operations always had, manning the various tellers desks were strange creatures with long noses and hooked fingers.
"Neat," was all that Hayate could manage.
They approached one of the teller's desks, manned by one of the strange creatures, without waiting for them to speak, it said, "Muggle or Wizard?"
"What's a Muggle?" asked Nanoha.
"Muggle," sighed the creature, then it held out four sheets of paper, some quills and a needle, "prick yourself and drop some blood on the paper, or just sign your birth name, either way works."
Nanoha took the proffered paper and quill, signing her name, Hayate followed suit. After a moment of brief conversation, Fate and Kagami pricked their fingers and let drops of blood fall on the sheet of paper.
Instantly the paper filled in with information, stating current fund reserves, vault numbers, inheritance dates, and so on. They handed the papers back to the creature, who looked somewhat surprised, "Two half bloods, one pureblood, and a muggle, alright then, follow me."
"Half-blood? Pureblood?" asked Hayate, but it ignored her.
The creature came out from behind the desk, revealing himself to be shorter than Hayate, they followed him through several halls until they came to a minecart, "Griphook will take you from here."
Another creature came up, entering the cart, motioning for them to join him. The cart began to move of its own accord, moving through increasingly swerving tracks, they were unaffected, flight training had made them used to that.
"Yagami Hayate, transfer from Japan, Vault 1781, Half-blood," stated Griphook, holding out a key to Hayate, "accumulated Japanese benefits still apply, a sum of 200 galleons, 300 sickles, and 500 knuts have been deposited into your account."
Hayate inserted the key in the tiny lock, then opened the door, revealing a small vault filled with gold and silver coins. Hayate closed her gaping mouth and looked back at the others, mouthing 'holy crap' at them.
"You may withdraw up to 100 galleons, 100 sickles, and 150 knuts each year until legal age," added the goblin, producing a small leather bag and handing it to Hayate.
"Exactly how much is one of these galleon things worth in Japanese Yen?" asked Hayate, slowly filling the bag, which turned out to be much bigger on the inside.
"Well, a galleon is worth approximately five British pounds, which is approximately 630 Japanese Yen, the sum total you may withdraw is approximately… 71251 Japanese Yen."
"Some benefits," said Kagami, eyebrow raised.
"No kidding," said Hayate, raking the vault with her eyes, then filled the bag with 50 galleons, and 50 sickles.
"Next Vault," announced Griphook, and they rejoined the group waiting on the cart, and a sort run later, they stopped in front of another vault, "Takamachi Nanoha, transfer from Japan, Vault 6516, Muggle Born, same benefits."
After Nanoha had gathered her own sack of coins, the cart sped down to another vault in the same hallway.
"Harlaown Fate T." announced Griphook, "Japan based account, Vault 6936 and Vault 7167," he pointed down the hall, "Pureblood."
Kagami sighed, "Please tell us exactly what pureblood, muggleborn, and half-blood means."
Fate looked surprise, "Pureblood?" she asked.
Griphook looked slightly miffed, "Purebloods have two magical parents, Muggleborns have no magical parents, and Half-bloods have one magical parent."
"I see," said Fate, that made sense considering that her father was most likely a mage, she opened her vault and quickly gathered some coins, "so what about this Vault 7167?" she asked, tripping slightly over some of the words.
"Let's see…" Griphook removed a piece of paper from one of his pockets and studied its contents, "Vault 7167, Family Inheritance Vault, no specifics, but it ran in your family apparently," he shrugged, "your adoption is being processed for approval over here, so it's your choice right now."
"Let's see it then," said Fate, and they took the cart to another hall of vaults.
"No key for this one," said Griphook, pointing to the door, "request by the original opener of the vault."
"Who opened it?"
Griphook took another look at his sheet of paper, "Rowena Ravenclaw, dead for many centuries."
"Hm," Fate kneeled down in front of the door, fingering a small hatch, she flicked it up revealing a small keyhole, "You said it didn't need a key."
"The records say nothing," he shrugged, "you may come back during business hours later to see about getting in there."
"Wave a stick around and see what happens," suggested Nanoha, who had seen people waving wooden sticks around in the main street.
"I don't think that would work Nanoha," smiled Fate, another cart rolled to a stop on the opposite sides of the track and as they turned to look, a soft golden light emanated from Fate's open hand into the lock, which clicked silently. The doors swung open, getting the attention of Griphook again, "how-"he stopped himself, "not my business."
Fate shrugged, and as she entered the vault, a black key appeared out of thin air, startling Fate, who barely managed to catch it.
"Wait," said Nanoha, "they locked the key…in the vault?"
Fate shrugged, "I don't know," she looked about the room, which was filled with various odds and ends that looked like they were collected over the course of several lifetimes.
"Neat," commented Hayate.
"Yeah," replied Fate, "I think I'll leave this vault alone for now."
They filed back into the cart, and they stopped in a new corridor, even deeper in the cave system than the others.
"Vault 6436," announced Griphook, "Yagami Kyoko, transfer from Japan, Half-Blood, Japanese beneficiary sum and contents of received vault."
"Kagami…" sighed Kagami, "my name is Kagami."
"I thought you said that they made your legal name Kyoko," asked Hayate.
"Well, yes," Kagami shrugged, "anyway, what 'received' vault?"
Griphook reached in yet another pocket, "according to this, the contents of the Potter family vault is to be left to you, with approximate value of-"
Kagami held up a hand, "wait, wait, wait, you mean that the Potters were wizards?"
Griphook looked at her like she was crazy, "of course the Potters were wizards, who do you think defeated the Dark Lord? A Squib?"
"Dark Lord?" asked Hayate, interest perking her features.
"Squib?!" asked Nanoha with even more enthusiasm.
"I am not a history teacher," said Griphook, holding out the key impatiently, "go find it in a book."
Kagami took the proffered key, and opened the vault door, revealing a lot of gold coins, "don't tell me," she said before Griphook could read off the amount.
She filled her bag, and then they returned to the surface, inhaling the surface air for the first time in what had seemed like years.
"Where to next?" asked Hayate as they exited the marble building.
Fate scanned her list, "Well, we're supposed to get school uniforms first, at this 'Madam Malkin's' place, then get our text books and some other things."
"So, where is it?" asked Nanoha, looking around.
"I expect it would be right there," said Fate, pointing to the shop directly behind Nanoha.
A woman greeted them upon entering the shop, dressed in what would be assumed to be witches robes, "new students?"
"Um, yes," replied Kagami, "Japanese exchange students, this is where we can get fitted for robes right?"
"It is dear," smiled Madam Malkins, "Tell me, which wizarding district of Japan did you come from?" When they gave her a blank look, she supplied, "what city?"
"Uminari City," said Nanoha, "it's on the coast…"
"Ah, yes, this way," she led them along a hallway into a room into a dark room, she searched through several boxes, then produced four uniforms, black long sleeved sailor fukus and pleated knee length skirts, "that district requires this style of uniform," she handed each of them one of the uniforms, "now go get one of the girls to fit you."
After they got fitted for their uniforms and robes, they made their way along the alley to Flourish and Blotts, and after getting the books required there, made their way along the various shops, gathering the last of what they needed.
"Students may bring an Owl or a Cat or a Toad," read Hayate off her list, raising an eyebrow, "whatever happened to Dogs?"
Fate shrugged, "search me, but Arf's gonna be pist, I'll tell you that much."
"Whatever," shrugged Hayate, "I take it no one wants one?"
"Nope," said Nanoha
"What's next?" asked Kagami, looking at her own list.
"One Wand," read Fate from her list, she looked at her fellow mages, Their equivalent of Devices?
Maybe, replied Kagami, "Where would we get a wand?"
This got the attention of an old wizard nearby, who spoke up, "New students, eh?" he pointed at an old store front at one end of the alley, "only place to get them around here is Ollivanders, best and only place to get one," he gave a toothy grin and disappeared into the crowd.
"Helpful," commented Nanoha, she looked at her friends, "well, lets go."
A bell tinkled as they entered the shop, the tiny front room was filled with shelves and shelves that were practically overflowing with boxes. There was movement in the back room, and a wizened old man appeared behind the front desk.
"You're late by two months," he commented, "Now, which one of you wants to go first?"
"Um," said Nanoha, "I'll go first."
"Excellent," smiled the old man, who could be assumed to be Ollivander, "which is your wand arm?" Nanoha held out her left arm, and he began to measure it, then after a moment, he let go of the tape measure which kept measuring every possible thing on her arm.
"That's enough," said Ollivander, and it dropped to the ground, he removed a box from the shelf he was searching and returned to the front, opening the box and removing a wooden carved wand, "Dogwood and Unicorn Hair, Eleven Inches," Nanoha tentatively took the proffered wand and held it, unsure of what to do.
"Well, go on," said Ollivander, "give it a wave."
Nanoha moved it through the air, even though it went against everything she had be taught as a mage, the wand gave off a bang and a pot shattered.
"No," commented Ollivander, who took the wand back and went further into the shop, coming back everytime with a different wand, only to snatch it out of Nanoha's hand before something could happen.
"Cherry and Dragon heartstring," he said, bringing up yet another wand, "highly prized in Japan."
Nanoha waved something for the fiftieth time, and the wand glowed for a moment, then banged.
"Nope," muttered the wandmaker, "I have one more idea, one moment."
He came back with another wand, "Larch and Dragon heartstring, Eleven Inches," he handed it to her, as he held it, it glowed warmly and emitted multicolored sparks, "very nice," said Ollivander, "that will be five galleons, as well as twenty sickles, for the damages."
"Thank you," Nanoha blushed furiously, and stepped back.
"Well, I guess I'm next," announced Fate, stepping forward.
Ollivander took her measurements, and began bringing wands from the back of the shop. None of Fates tries produced anything like Nanoha's, but her attempts with 'Laurel and Unicorn hair, Nine and a half inches,' gave off a rather impressive bolt of lightning.
"Cedar and Phoenix Feather, Ten Inches," he handed her the wand, and the end started sparking lightly and glowed with golden light.
"Excellent, that will be nine Galleons, now who's next?"
"I'll go," volunteered Kagami, stepping forward, holding out her left arm, Ollivander took her measurements, and disappeared completely into the back room of the store.
"Pine and Unicorn hair, eleven inches, quite flexible," said Ollivander, "go on."
Feeling rather stupid, Kagami waved the stick, pointing it at one of the various lamps in the front of the shop. The wand burst into flames, Kagami yelped and dropped it, waving her hand, subtly cooling it with her ice.
"Kagami! Are you okay?!" asked Nanoha, grabbing her hand and examining it.
"I'm fine," Kagami winked and showed Nanoha her hand.
"Okay," Nanoha grinned and backed off.
Ollivander reemerged from wherever he went when they weren't looking, "Try this one, Elder and Unicorn hair."
Kagami took it, only for it to launch off deep into the shop a second later.
Ollivander went back to rummaging in the shelves, pulling out certain boxes, then putting them back, he took one box out, then looked at it again, "I wonder…" He returned to the front of the shop, "Holly and Phoenix Feather, Eleven Inches, nice and supple."
She took it, then, after some trepidation, gave it a wave. The stick gave off a shriek like a firework, then the tip exploded, the flash blinding them all for several seconds. When her vision returned, the end of the wand was relatively intact, but there was a huge scorch mark on the floor in front of her.
"Definitely not," commented Ollivander, taking the wand back from Kagami, rubbing ash off the tip, "still salvageable though."
"I'm sorry," apologized Kagami, giving him a quick bow.
"That is quite alright," said Ollivander, "happens all the time," his expression soured, "Unfortunately, I have no wands left that would exactly match up to you, I guess I must ask…" he sighed, "Gregorovitch."
"Um, excuse me," asked Fate, "who's Gredoroditch?"
"Gregorovitch, is a wandmaker, like myself," Ollivander said, "while I consider his work subpar, he has much knowledge of wandlore, and may be able to help you."
"Where is he?" asked Nanoha.
"Oh, just a few hundred miles away or so," said Ollivander, "one moment, I have to get ahold of him on the Floo."
The old man left the room, muttering something about flower pots. Nanoha turned to Fate, "The Floo?"
Fate shrugged, "search me, we'll have to ask."
Ollivander entered the room again, with another man, he was less wizened than Ollivander was, and he carried a briefcase under his arm, "To think that you would be my last customer, this is truly something," he chuckled.
"I am not your customer, Gregorovitch, this young witch is," Ollivander pointed to Kagami, "now do your work."
"Fine, fine," grumbled Gregorovitch, he looked at Kagami, "what is your name, young lady?"
"Kagami Yagami," she managed, "Kyoko if you must."
"Kagami will do fine," Gregorovitch gruffed, he kneeled down, and reached a hand inside his briefcase, pulling out a measuring tape. He measured her every which way, even taking her bust measurement, which made her flush bright red.
He reached into his briefcase, his hand going further than the size of the briefcase itself, he then pulled out a wand box, Kagami eyed it apprehensively.
"Cypress and Sea Serpent muscle fiber," he held the wand out, "Eleven Inches."
Kagami took the wand, it emitted a few sparks, but grew cold in her hand.
"Not close enough," muttered the wizened wandmaker, taking the wand back, "Rowan and Kelpie hair."
She waved it about, and the wand grew warm in her hand, but emitted no sparks.
"Still nothing," wondered Gregorovitch, rubbing his chin, he reached into his case, and somehow removed a metal chest from the leather. He fumbled in his pockets, removed a key, and inserted it in one of its many locks.
"You have made great sacrifices…" he intoned, slowly unlocking the first latch.
"You are not ordinary…" Second Latch.
"You are a fierce protector of others…" Third Latch.
"You have accepted death," Last Latch.
He opened the lid, any everyone stopped breathing for a moment, Gregorovitch removed a smooth, uniformly black wand, carved with various sigils, "Ebony, Eleven Inches, Pliable, Thestral Tail hair," he held it out to her, handle first, "I never thought I would meet the honored master of this wand in my lifetime," he whispered, "thank you."
Kagami took the wand carefully, her past experiences not forgotten, it grew warm in her hand, a cloud of steam shot out of the tip, and it glowed with a blue light.
Ollivander and Gregorovitch shared a look, "That will be twenty galleons, please."
"What about-" Hayate started, then a box rocketed off one of the shelves, a stream of sparks trailing it.
"Vine," said Ollivander, as if that explained everything. It didn't.
He tiredly handed 'Vine and Phoenix Feather, Twelve Inches, unyielding,' and immediately it let off a stream of sparks, as if it had been bottling them all up until now.
"I need a drink," muttered Ollivander, "Seven Galleons please."
"That was…odd," commented Nanoha as they left the shop, slowly making their way back towards the pub they had entered through, following behind a women who knew how to get back in.
"Can we get a room for the night?" Nanoha asked the bartender, a toothless man named Tom.
"Together or separate?" asked the bartender, giving them a toothless smile.
They shared a look, "Together," confirmed Nanoha.
"It will be three sickles for the night," said Tom, "follow me."
He led them to a medium sized room, with two twin beds and a table with chairs, "make yourselves comfortable, got any luggage?"
"No, this is it," said Fate, holding out three sickles, "thank you."
Nanoha sat down on the bed, holding out her hands, a keyboard appeared underneath, and she began tapping a report out on the screen.
Kagami and Fate set themselves up over in the corner, pouring over the books on Magical Theory and spells they had picked up. Hayate took out her wand and examined it, on a thought, she gave it a wave, nothing happened, then she tentatively channeled some mana into the wand. Instead of staying in the wand, like a device, the energy just dispersed out of it.
"These all have different incantations," said Kagami, "half of them don't make any sense!"
"Apparently some spells are fueled by emotions," Fate looked up from her book, "they have a section of 'math' magic, the supposedly 'magical' properties of numbers," she grimaced, "why do I not have a good feeling about this?"
"Well, does it work?" asked Hayate, picking up her wand, "gimme a spell."
"The unlocking spell, Alohomora," read Kagami, "point your wand at whatever you want to unlock."
Hayate pointed her wand at the door, "Alohomora."
The lock clicked and the door slowly opened, Hayate shut it, "that worked."
"So any ideas as to how this actually works?"
"No idea."
The Leaky Cauldron
December 8th, 0067 :: 12:00 PM
They woke up the next morning and dressed in their school uniforms, pulling their robes on over them. They briefly exited the pub to an alley nearby, where their trunks were teleported in off the Arthra.
They were met in the pub by a well dressed woman, "I am Professor McGonagall, I assume you are the late arrivals to Hogwarts?"
"Who told you?" asked Nanoha.
Kagami immediately said, "It was Tom, wasn't it?"
McGonagall smiled, "I will expect you in Ravenclaw, young lady. Yes, I was notified of the presence of four foreign students here, and came to get you to Hogwarts."
"Thank you, but…" began Fate, "I thought Hogwarts was far out in the country, how did you get here so quickly?"
"I used the Floo network," McGonagall frowned slightly, "it's a magical network of fireplaces, you can use Floo powder to transport yourself to your destination, if you have everything follow me."
They were led to a fireplace at the opposite end of the room, McGonagall stepped into the fireplace, "follow my lead, Hogwarts Great Hall!" She was engulfed by green flames and disappeared.
Hayate shrugged, "I'll go first," she stepped into the burning flames, "Hogwarts Great Hall!" and she disappeared in green flames.
Kagami stepped into the fire, noting the cool feel of the flames, "Hogwarts Great Hall!" the world swirled around her, and suddenly she was stepping out of a enormous fireplace in a huge hall.
"…I would like to ask you to help these students, should they be sorted into your house, catch up on the curriculum in any way possible."
They had appeared in a huge hall, the ceiling faded into the morning sky, and the air was full of floating unlit candles. Four huge benches dominated the hall, boys and girls of various English nationalities paying attention to the speaker, an ancient man his beard long enough to tuck into his belt.
"And speak of the devil, here they are!" he held out his hands in their direction, and the various students clapped semi-enthusiastically.
"Now I apologize for the suddenness of this, but we all have classes to get to, so bear with us, young ladies, can you come up here?"
With some trepidation, the Japanese girls came up to the front of the hall, and looked at the dingy hat on the stool in front of them.
"Harlaown, Fate," read McGonagall of a scroll of paper, when Fate stepped forward, she beckoned her closer, motioning for her to sit on the stool, and then put the hat on her head. Fate just sat there, feeling somewhat foolish.
Ah, you're a clever one I see… spoke a voice in her ear.
Who are you? asked Fate.
I am the sorting hat, and it's my job to sort you into your house, now let me look through your head.
Fate was about to protest against this, but she knew he had already gone through it all, That was violating!
Shut it. I'm not allowed to tell anyone anyway. Let's see…
Ooh, you a clever one, lots of wit too, I see much of her in you. Not much ambition to speak of, but definitely cunning, resourceful too. Very creative, yes… Oh, that's interesting, better be…
"RAVENCLAW!" shouted the sorting hat aloud, and Fate cracked open the eyes she didn't know she had closed. One of the tables was going crazy, students hopping up and down and clapping.
"Go to that table," muttered McGonagall in Fate's ear, nudging her in the cheering student's direction. Fate slid onto the end of the cheering table, noting the color change of her uniforms tie to blue and silver.
"Takamachi, Nanoha," read McGonagall off her short list.
The sorting hat was simply plopped on her head, and Nanoha heard a voice.
Ah, let's see, a certain likeness for…wait, what? What the…? said the voice of the hat, That's… Oh God, Why were you even admitted here? Uh…
"HUFFLEPUFF!" shouted the hat, wiggling slightly in a feeble attempt to get off her head. Another table burst into cheers, and Nanoha slid onto the end of that table, her tie changing to yellow and black.
"Yagami, Hayate," announced McGonagall.
Hm… thought the hat, You are a knight, yet you can also be ordinary at the same time. Hidden potential I see, you have leadership skill, you use it on a daily basis, even though you don't realize it… Better be…
"GRIFFINDOR!" shouted the hat, Hayate managed to cram herself onto the end of the one table, which was much more crammed than the other tables appeared to be.
"Yagami-" McGonagall stopped for a moment, then resumed, "Yagam-Potter, Kyoko."
Kagami silently thanked the TSAB for managing to change that, she had no idea what she would do if they had called Harry.
She stepped up to the stool, acutely aware that the room had become deathly silent, as if the future of their world rested on her shoulders. She couldn't be more right.
Ahh… thought the hat, another Potter, eh? No, wait, I see, not a Potter then. Let's see… I still see the traditional bravery, another knight as well, nerve as well, I see much of her in you as well, just like the other girl. Wit, Intelligence, Clever. Some Cunning. I see… Indeed…
"RAVENCLAW!" shouted the hat, and the hall erupted, angry Griffindors leapt up from their tables and began shouting, Ravenclaw's cheering themselves hoarse.
"Silence! Shouted Dumbeldore, "I do not need to remind you that more than one person has the surname Potter in this world. Especially after last year's incident," he looked pointedly at a group of students at the Griffindor table, "please take your seats please.
Kagami slid onto the cool bench at the Ravenclaw table, sharing a look with Fate, "Why did they freak out about someone with the last name Potter?"
"You don't know?" asked one of the other students around their age, she slid a book across the table, "names Cho by the way."
Kagami looked up and studied the cover of the book, Dark Wizards through the Ages, she flipped it open, going to the most recent date, and read out to Fate, Lord Voldemort was a Dark wizard, also known as the Dark Lord or He-who-must-not-be-named, his reign of terror lasted for approximately ten years, she skimmed over some of the details, his reign of terror was ended ten years ago by one… she looked up, Harry Potter, the boy who lived, most known for being the only one to survive the killing curse, he disappeared on the day of Voldemort's defeat, approximately ten years ago.
I guess that explains all the gold in your vault, mused Fate, as well as why you are apparently 'half' wizard.
Nanoha spoke up, I think this is going to be one interesting investigation, no?

Anyway, I know I said I would be updating on Thursday, and this chapter is going up on Friday, but stuff happens, so Thursday is still the official update day.
