Chapter 4: The Giver of the Galleons and Sickles and Knuts (chapter 4 in HP
1 is 'the Keeper of the Keys'. ah, close enough..)
A/N: hey you guys! The best music to listen to while you're reading this is Diagon Alley.. you know in the potter film when harry appears in Diagon Alley.. but if you don't have that, you can always listen to Wondrous World.. still from the potter Movie..
"Oh..my." Eloise mumbled as she and the woman from earlier appeared suddenly into a busy London street. "What did you just do?" she asked, the woman coughed and said "my dear, I am madam hooch and that was Apparition, it is a handy trick that I am sure you will try to learn and master while you are in school" Eloise jogged to keep up w/ the Madam Hooch's long smooth strides, and asked "Well.. yes, I suppose, but .." she paused then blurted out the question she had been meaning to ask "What am I doing here?" Madam Hooch stopped walking making Eloise bump into her. "Sorry..' she started then Madam hooch started speaking " You are here under Dumbledore's request, Professor Dumbledore, will be your headmaster during your stay in Hogwarts." "Sorry, but request for what?" Madam Hooch coughed then said "That we have an Asian division, apparently no other Asians were magic enough to attend the school, others passed the magical abilities test but did not want to be involved in something like this, so we were forced to recruit the ones in Southeast Asia and a few in East Asia, Fortunately, the ones who agreed were w/ the most potential, skill and knowledge. YOU are one of them, Ms. Gahndenbahlt, and I say, we are most proud to have you and a few of your classmates attend Hogwarts." Seemingly out of breath, she stopped in front of a musty oak door and opened it. Apparently, no one else seemed to notice the door w/c was in front of them just as no one seemed to notice their sudden appearance in the middle of such a busy and crowded walkway. " Well come along now, d'you want the muggles to see you?" Madam Hooch said a bit exasperated. 'Muggles.' then it all hit Eloise in one big splash "Harry Potter!" she screamed, as the power of the all-knowing goddess hit her (A/N: ever heard of that goddess?) All the people in the bar stopped what they were doing and turned to look at her. "Where is he child?" the bar tender asked her, by this time, she had clapped both hands on her mouth "Er nothing.. sir.. I just.. it was.." "Come along now..' said Madam Hooch wrapping a long-fingered hand on Eloise's arm and pulling her towards a door in the back 'I remember this..' she thought. "Now.. I'm sure you'll want to watch this.." said Madam hooch "Step back an-" '"Three up two across, right?" Eloise asked Madam Hooch looked down at her w/ allsorts of awe. "Why.. yes.. I was told you were knowledgeable but.. well.. lets go now shall we?" She said and tapped the right bricks. Soon the whole wall vibrated and shook. Slowly it parted at the middle and revealed a crowded street full of funnily dressed people 'Witches.. and wizards!" she thought excitedly. "Welcome to -" "Diagon Alley.." Eloise finished. Madam Hooch just looked at her strangely. Then she heard a very familiar voice "Now, girls I know you're all excited to- stop that! -no we have to go to Gringotts- put that down!" A severe looking woman screeched to a halt in front of her and said "Xiomara! Oh.. I'm glad you're here and w/..?" "Eloise Gahndenbahlt, pleasure to meet you Prof, McGonagall.." she said and Professor McGonagall smiled at her. "Hi Eloise!!" A girl peeked out from behind McGonagall and waved frenziedly "Annamae?" she asked frowning a little. "Hey!" another one said, hugging her "Hi 'loi!" "hey you guys!! What are you doing here?" "Uh.. waving like maniacs and acting stupidly??" A short girl w/ wavy hair and freckles asked sarcastically folding her arms across her chest. "Hi Dyan!, Hi everyone!!" "Group hug?" Francois said everyone looked around then mutually agreed "Naw..!" Professor McGonagall eyed the group warily then said "Xiomara.. I suppose you should take half of them.." Madam Hooch nodded and announced to the group of girls in front of them "Split into 2 groups and we'll meet here at exactly 5 o' clock, if anyone is late.. they will be left behind.." "Okay!!" 10 fists went up. So two groups headed for Hogwarts to change their muggle cash for wizard money.. Once they had their moneybags full and quite heavy, they separated again and went to different shops.
~#~#~#~# Professor McGonagall's POV
"Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions .. Have you all got your moneybags?" "yes.." came the chorus. So Prof. McGonagall led group anime and PS towards the counter. 'Heaven knows why they called themselves that..' she thought mentally wringing her hands. As she looked around her gaze landed on that short girl with rather becoming violet eyes. 'What was her name again?- Oh yes, Dyan Watt' "Like I said Hokuto, Red magnifies my eyes' beauty a million times!" Dyan told her putting a hand to the collar of the dress robe and stared at the mirror, A taller girl went up to her, slouched a little so that their faces were the same level and scrutinized her. "Hmm.. magnifies it alright.. straight to slutdom" W/ that she smirked and left. The Watt girl pouted and said "Ergh, I hate it when she's right!' then started taking off the robe. ' This girl should not to be crossed, she just has this sense of control and deep understanding, quite unusual really.. And neither is that other one.. Hokuto was it? Yes, the scary thing about that girl is how she adapts like a chameleon.. So quickly and the way she takes things all at once, seeing the puzzle as a whole. If those 2 would ever go over to the dark side, heaven forbid!' Then her gaze fell on a girl w/ silvery-blue streaks in her hair, 'Quite a bubbly girl, I thought she would probably be a dunderhead like that Patil in my house.. if not for the way she crossed the room. At first I thought she was a werewolf but it seems she had learned the art of Transition already, I think she'll be a wonderful transfiguration student.' Looking around the store again she saw a bouncy and active girl ' Ah, her.. Annamae.. brilliant that girl is, very resourceful as well, and her ability to be laid back yet lead is quite handy, really. She would do well in Slytherin. And lastly that tall and quiet girl Francois.. her power of perception is quite amazing really, her senses always seem to be peaked, yet something about her wasn't right. I'll have to figure it out later..' "Professor?.." someone said. "We need to go now.." someone else said "Alright, has everyone got everything? Moneybags? Clothes?" nods "Excellent.. let's move on now.." "Professor, excuse me, but what's that?" asked the blue-streaked girl "Oh.. well that.."
