WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY: DIAGON ALLEY
Usagi and Professor McGonagall ended up in an alleyway. Usagi had to take a minute to get her thoughts straight, 'First I was at home then I am here, an alleyway,' Usagi thought while sorting out her thoughts.
McGonagall stared at the teenaged princess, "You've grown so much. Your parents would have been proud of you." She said.
Usagi gasped, "You knew my parents?"
The professor nodded as she turned around and did something to the blocks of the wall that made it open. Usagi had this unbelievable look on her face.
"Follow me," ordered the now strict professor.
Usagi blinked once, not sure if it was safe to follow McGanagall and then wondered what happened to the Professor McGanagall that was telling her how much her parents would be proud of her. Now that professor had disappeared. Usagi then decided to follow McGonagall through the wall.
Usagi stared in awe at the street full of shops and what nots. There were children around her age and older buying things with their parents. Usagi tilted her head downwards, 'I don't have parents.' She thought sadly.
Then Professor McGonagall interrupted Usagi's thoughts; "This place is called Daigon Alley. We now must get some money from your account."
"I have an account?" Usagi asked wide-eyed. She has never come here. Sure she knew she was a witch but she never heard of this place, instead she would just dream about unfolding her witch powers.
McGonagall nodded her head; "Follow me," she ordered as Usagi nodded her head.
They traveled for some time until they ended up in front of a building.
"This," McGonagall started while pointing at the building, "is Gringotts. It is where your account is."
Usagi nodded as she followed the professor into the building.
Once they went in there were goblins measuring pieces of jewels and some were running around trying to get their work done.
Usagi followed McGonagall to a goblin. They talked about some stuff but Usagi ignored it as she went around exploring. After a while she found some sort of warning poem.
It said:
Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
Usagi wondered what that meant until Professor McGonagall called for her.
"Usagi come," came McGonagall's voice.
Usagi had to tear her eyes from the poem in order to discover more.
They followed the goblin and got money from Usagi's account which once belonged to her parents. After a while Usagi asked McGonagall what that poem meant. The professor's only reply was that the people say that a dragon lives below the floors of Gringotts. Usagi only nodded.
They went to get her books and a uniform. They kept traveling until Usagi heard something.
"Did you hear Harry Potter is going to Hogwarts," a boy around her age said.
"Really? I heard he's here right now buying his supplies with Hagrid, Hogwarts Gamekeeper," (is that right?) the girl said.
'Harry Potter,' Usagi thought in confusion, 'Who is he?' You would think that she would know who the famous Harry Potter was, but her aunt always kept her insolated and from danger.
Usagi, while walking beside McGonagall, asked, "Who's Harry Potter?"
They stopped for a minute then McGonagall leaned down and answered silently into her ear, "Listen well child because i'm just going to say this once and only once. A long time ago, when your parents were still, alive there was this evil wizard named Voldermort. But don't say his name because people still fear him."
Usagi nodded as McGonagall continued, "He killed many of us. Until they say Harry Potter has killed Voldermort at the age of an infant." The Professor knew very well that it was Usagi's parents were the ones who did it but even so Harry did survive You-Know-Who's attack.
All this time Usagi could only nod her head in amazement how a brave baby boy could kill such an evil being. Usagi then made up her mind that she was going to befriend Harry Potter.
The professor took a deep breathe then said, "Come on, we need to buy you a wand."
Usagi followed McGonagall to a little shop called Ollivander: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C.
They went into the shop. The shop was in reasonable size with rectangular boxes all lined up on the shelves.
"Ah, McGonagall nice to see you again," a man from the counter greeted the professor.
"Ollivander we need a wand for Usagi ...," said McGonagall (is the guy name really Ollivander?)
He nodded and went over to Usagi to measure her arm length.
Usagi just stared at the guy as he measured her arm.
"I got just the wand for you. Wait here," Ollivander said as he disappeared to the counter somewhere.
Professor McGonagall had this tired look on her face. He wouldn't even let her tell him Usagi's LAST name.
"Here we are!" Ollivander exclaimed as her held a box in his hand, "Phoenix feather with a Unicorn's hair, 10 inches. Take this and mwave it around." He ordered as Usagi gripped the wand and waved it. Nothing happened.
"I'll find another one!" He said as he once again disappeared over the counter.
Usagi thought he was crazy moving around like that.
They tried over a million wands. Ollivander was getting frustrated from trying so many wands, 'Serves him right for not listening to me,' McGonagall thought with a smirk. After awhile she spoke, "Ollivander, did I mention that her name was Usagi TSUKINO?"
"Tsukino?" exclaimed Ollivander, "Wait here," he said while he went back to the counter and took out a key with a crescent moon engraved on it. He took it and unlocked a vault.
He gently took a velvet box from inside the vault, opened the box and held it in front of Usagi's eyes, "Moon stone, star dust and tears from the milkyway, 11 inches. Specially customized for you from your father."
Usagi eyes widened and took the wand from the box, "Wave it around," McGonagall told her.
Usagi waved it and instantly from the tip of the wand gold, silver and red sparkles sprouted from it.
After they payed for the wand Professor McGonagall decided to buy Usagi a pet. When they arrived at the pet store everything was strange. There were owls, rats, bats, snakes etc.
What was much more stranger to Usagi was that a black cat with a crescent moon on it's forehead kept staring at her. She shivered at least twice.
"Usagi, I bought you an owl," McGonagall's voice got Usagi's attention so she had to force her eyes away from the strange cat.
The owl that McGonagall bought was a female snowy owl with black spots on her back and wings. Usagi decided to name her Ino.
Once they were at Usagi's doorstep McGonagall gave her instructions.
"Usagi, on August 30th you will need to go to platform 9 and 3/4. But don't worry; your aunt will take care of things. For now go back in and get some rest," The professor said.
Usagi could only nod as she turned around and went into the house. When she shut the door Hotaru came in her view.
"So...?" Hotaru asked as Usagi walked up the stairs with Hotaru following her.
"So...?" Usagi said calmly as they entered her room.
Hotaru sighed in annoyance, "How was it?"
Usagi's face beamed at Hotaru, "It was great!"
Hotaru smiled to. Then she spotted the owl that had its head behind its wing, "You've got an owl!"
"Yep, her name is Ino," Usagi said.
At dinner Usagi told her family what had happened at Diagon Alley. Then after dinner she took a shower and went to bed.
Little did she know that the same black cat that was in the pet store was on one of the roofs talking to a sandy blond man and a teal wavy haired woman.
