Chapter 3 : At Diagon Alley.
**At Eriol's Mansion (the next morning)**
"Yawn!" said Sakura while stretching her arms. She took a look at the clock on the opposite wall and noted that it was just 7.30am.
"I think I'll better go and have a bath before breakfast." thought Sakura as she jumped out of bed and went over to the wardrobe to take out a light pink shirt decorated with cherry blossoms, a bright pink skirt also decorated with cherry blossoms and a white lace coat. Then she went into the bathroom to take a bath.
She gasped at what she saw when she went into the bathroom. It was very big with a shower at one end of the room and a VERY big bathtub in the middle of the room, almost like a mini swimming pool. She took her bath in the bathtub and then changed into the clothes she had taken out of the wardrobe and after tying her hair back with a cherry blossom hair band and picking up her pink bag, went down into the dining room for her breakfast.
"Good morning everyone!" said Sakura when she saw Kero sitting on the table, eating toast. "Mou! Kero! I wondered where you were just now when I couldn't find you in my room."
"Morning Sakura!" chorused Tomoyo, Eriol, Syaoran, Meilin and Nakuru. Syaoran, who was wearing a green shirt and a pair of dark green trouser, turned red at the sight of Sakura.
"KAWAII!" shouted Tomoyo who was wearing a lavender colored shirt and a purple skirt which complimented her eyes.
"Mornin' Sakura!" said Kero with a mouth full of toast. He swallowed the mouth full of toast and continued " I was hungry so I came downstairs to find something to eat as you weren't awake yet."
"But you can't just eat anything without permission Kero! This is Eriol's house!" said Sakura, sitting down on one of the
"It's alright Sakura! Let Kero eat all he wants." Said Eriol with his smile.
"See Sakura! Eriol says to let me eat as much as I want!" said Kero triumphantly.
Sakura sweatdropped. She took some pancakes from a plate in front of her and began eating.
"How are we going to get to Diagon Alley?" asked Syaoran.
"We'll use Floo Powder." Said Eriol.
"What's that?" asked Meilin.
"It's a kind of fine powder which you throw into the fireplace. When the flames turn green, you step into it and shout out the place you want to go." Explained Eriol.
"What?! Step into the flames? Are you out of your mind?" shouted Syaoran. By then, everyone had finished their breakfast.
"Here! Let me show you!" said Eriol, walking to the living room. The others and Kero followed him. Eriol walked to a fireplace at the left end of the room and took up a jar.
"Here! Take some of this and throw it into the fire." Said Eriol to Syaoran. Syaoran took a pinch of the powder and threw it into the fire. The flames flared green.
"Now step into it and say 'Leaky Cauldron'." Said Eriol.
"No way! You do it!" said Syaoran.
"Trust me! Just step into it and say 'Leaky Cauldron'." Said Eriol.
"I don't trust you within a foot of me." Said Syaoran. "You do it."
"Okay!" said Eriol, giving the jar to Nakuru and stepping into the fire. "Leaky Cauldron!" he commanded. There was a whoosh of displaced air and Eriol disappeared from sight.
"Whoa! Where'd Eriol go?" asked Sakura.
"He went to Leaky Cauldron." Answered Nakuru.
"Is there really such a place?" asked Meilin who took a pinch of the powder and throw it into the fire. The flames flared green again.
"Yup! There is such a place. Step in Meilin and shout out 'Leaky Cauldron'." Said Nakuru. Meilin did as she was told and she too, disappeared. Sakura, Tomoyo and Syaoran each took a pinch of the powder while Nakuru took out a paper and pour some of the powder onto it. She folded the paper and took a pinch of the powder before setting it down onto a nearby table. They each repeated the process (Kero was in Sakura's bag) and appeared in the Leaky Cauldron.
** Leaky Cauldron**
"Yikes!" said Nakuru who was the last one to get out of the fireplace. She almost fell down onto the floor.
"So this is the place." Asked Syaoran who was looking around.
"Yes!" said Eriol. "Follow me!" All of them followed Eriol who brought them to a small walled in courtyard. Eriol walked over to the only trash can in sight, took out a long thin stick and muttering "three up.two across." tapped on one of the bricks. The bricks began rearranging themselves to form an archway while Sakura and the others watched in amazement.
"Welcome to Diagon Alley!" said Eriol with his mysterious smile (a.k.a evil smirk). Eriol walked through the archway, motioning for the others to follow.
"We have to go to Gringotts to get your money to buy the books and items you need." Said Eriol. "Ah! There it is!" said Eriol pointing to a white building in the distance. They approached the bronze doors of the building and were bowed in by goblins wearing uniforms of scarlet and gold. They reached a second door which was in sliver with words of what look like a poem engraved on it.
Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floor
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
A couple of goblins bowed them thought the doors.
"Those words really spooked me." Said Meilin.
"Don't worry! If you don't take what's not yours, nothing will befall you." said Eriol. He walked up to a counter where there were many goblins.
"I am Gotsop. How may I help you?" asked the goblin.
"I'm here to take out some money from my vault." Said Eriol handing a small key to the goblin. Goblin gasped and quickly handed the key back to Eriol. Eriol turned and handed a small key to Sakura.
"This is the key to your own vault Sakura." Said Eriol with a smile while the goblin turned to Syaoran who gave him a vault key and said that he and Meilin were taking the money from the Li Clan's vault. The goblin handed the key back to Syaoran and turned to Sakura.
"Here!" said Sakura, handing her key to Gotsop. The goblin gasped again before handing back the key to Sakura.
"What about you, young lady?" asked Gotsop, turning to Tomoyo. Tomoyo handed him a handbag which he opened. In it were stacks of $100 notes!
"What?" asked Tomoyo innocently while tell the goblin that she wants to open a new account and change the $100 bills into wizard money.
"I will ask Jusaci to lead you to your vaults." Said Gotsop to Sakura and the others while Tomoyo remained at the counter to collect the amount of money she wanted for school. Jusaci was another goblin who brought them to their vaults.
"Let's go to my vault first." Said Eriol and they climbed into the cart and went to Eriol's vault. Jusaci asked for Eriol's key and inserted it into the key hole there after which he stroked the keyhole twice. The door opened and everyone gasped except for Eriol.
The vault was full of mountains of gold, sliver and bronze coins. There were also many different types of jewels like diamonds and rubies. Eriol strolled in, took a bag out of his pocket and started shoving the gold, sliver and bronze coins into the bag after which he walked out again and the door to the vault closed.
"Come on! Let's go to the other vaults." Said Eriol casually.
"Let's go to mine next!" said Sakura.
"Okay!" the others all agreed and they went back to the cart which started on its way and reached Sakura's vault.
Jusaci once again asked for the key and inserted it into the keyhole, after which he stroked the keyhole and the door opened. Everyone, except for Eriol who smiled, gasped again.
Sakura's vault was slightly bigger than Eriol's and it was filled from the bottom to the top with the gold, sliver and bronze coins. On the left side of the vault there were mountains of diamonds and on the right side of the vault there were stacks of rubies, emeralds and every other kind of rare stones in the world. Sakura stared in awe at the vault while Eriol handed her a bag and told her to get take the gold, sliver and bronze coins. Sakura walked into the vault and began scooping up the coins while the others stared in shock. After filling the bag, she walked out of the vault and the door closed.
"Wow Sakura! I don't know you had that much money!" said Meilin in awe.
"Actually.I don't know too!" said Sakura in shock.
"Come on! Let's get to the other vaults before it's too late and we can't get our school books." Said Eriol, still smiling. As they went back to the cart and headed to the Li Clan's vault, Sakura couldn't help wondering if Eriol had something to do about the money in the vault. The cart reached the Li Clan's vault and the passengers in the cart got off. Jusaci repeated the process again and the vault door swung opened.
Although the Li Clan's vault was slightly smaller than Eriol's, it was filled with a lot of rare items. Syaoran and Meilin walked into the vault and filled their bags and they returned to the building where they met up with Tomoyo (Nakuru was with Tomoyo). Eriol then explained what Galleons, Sickles and Knuts were and how much one was to the other.
"Where are we going next?" asked Sakura as she walked out of the bank, the money in the bag jangling happily.
"How bout we get an ice cream?" asked Meilin who spotted an ice cream shop.
"Good idea!" said Syaoran and the group walked over to the ice cream stall and brought ice cream.
"Let's go and buy our books." Said Eriol after they had finished their ice cream. The others agreed and they went to Flourish and Blotts together where they brought their school books.
"Wanna buy a broom so you can play Quidditch?" asked Eriol.
"What's Quidditch?" asked Sakura, puzzled.
"It's when you sit on a broom and.." Eriol explained.
"Oh! Alright! Let's got to that shop and buy the latest model of the racing brooms." Said Syaoran, pointing to Quality Quidditch Supply where a broom was on display. They went into the shop and asked what the latest racing broom available was.
"The latest racing broom is the Lightning Olympic." Said the shopkeeper.
"We want 5 of them." Said Syaoran without hesitation. Gasps were heard through out the shop when Syaoran said that he wanted 5 of the latest racing broom.
"But...But it's very expensive." said the shopkeeper weakly. "It costs 1000 Galleons per broom."
"So? What's the problem?" asked Syaoran, puzzled.
"It's very expensive. Don't you know?" asked the shopkeeper.
"No!" said Sakura, "Cos we've got money."
"Yeah! Now can we have the brooms?" asked Meiling sarcastically.
"Um.ok.provided you pay for them first?" said the shopkeeper and he went to the back of the room to get the brooms. Sakura and the others began counting out the Galleons after which they brought the brooms. Their bags were around half full when they exited the shop with their brooms.
"Come on let's get our school robes and potions ingredients before going to buy the owls and getting our wands." Said Eriol, steering them towards a clothes shop named Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions.
There, they got their black school robes and dress robes. Sakura got a pink one, Tomoyo got a lavender one, Meilin got one in light orange, Eriol got one in dark blue and Syaoran got one in green.(Tomoyo, of course, added some more things on it when they got back home and made them much nicer than the original ones.)
"Let's go and get our potions ingredients." Said Sakura, pulling them to the Apothecary to get their potions ingredients and then to Owl Emporium to get their owls.
Sakura got a pink colored one, Tomoyo got a purple one, Eriol got a black one, Meilin got a Brown one and Syaoran got a green/white one.
"Let's go to Ollivanders to get your wand." Said Eriol and pulled them to a narrow and shabby shop which they entered.
"Hello!" said a voice near Sakura's ear.
"HOEEEEE!" yelled Sakura. "Gh.Gh.GHOST!"
"Where? Where?" asked Syaoran.
"I'm Mr. Ollivander." Said a man who was coming out of a stack of boxes near Sakura. "I'm sorry for scaring you like that."
"Its.It's alright." Said Sakura, her heart beat slowed down to its normal rate.
"Have I seen you before?" Mr. Ollivander asked Eriol. "You look very familiar."
"I am the reincarnation of Clow Reed." Said Eriol with his customary smile.
"More like the reincarnation of the devil." Muttered Syaoran softly. Unfortunately, Sakura heard him.
"SYAORAN!" said Sakura.
"What? I didn't do anything." He said innocently.
"Yeah right!" said Sakura skeptically.
"You are here to buy wands?" Mr. Ollivander asked Eriol.
"No! I already have my wand. My friends are the ones who are going to buy the wands." Said Eriol, indicating Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo and Meilin.
"Oh!" said Mr. Ollivander. Turning to Meilin, he asked "Which is your wand hand?"
"Um.Right hand." Said Meilin.
"Well hold out your right hand." Said Mr. Ollivander who began to measure Meilin's right hand.
Meilin suddenly realize that the measuring tape was measuring on its own when Mr. Ollivander said "That'll do." and the measuring tape dropped onto the floor.
"Here! Try this!" said Mr. Ollivander, holding out a wand to Meilin. "Ash and dragon heartstrings. 13 inches. Just wave it about." Meilin took the wand and, feeling foolish, waved the wand about but it was snatched away by Mr. Ollivander almost immediately.
"Nope! Not this! Okay! Try this one! Oak and phoenix feather. 10.5 inches." Mr. Ollivander held out a wand to Meilin. Meilin waved it about again but it was snatched back by Mr. Ollivander almost at once. This continued until." Ah! How bout this wand? Rose and phoenix feather. 11 inches long." Mr. Ollivander said, handing a wand to Meilin. Meilin, feeling tired grabbed the wand and suddenly felt a warmth in her fingers and swished the wand around. Banners of orange flew out of her wand.
"Bravo! That wand is yours!" said Mr. Ollivander and turning to Syaoran, said to him "Now what's your wand hand?"
"Right." Said Syaoran and Mr. Ollivander used the measuring tape to measure Syaoran's hand. "Here! Try this! Willow and phoenix feather. 10 inches." He handed Syaoran a wand. Syaoran was just about to wave it around when it was snatched by Mr. Ollivander.
"Not that! No! Definitely not! How about this one? Peony and phoenix feathers. 13 inches." He said. Syaoran took the wand and swishing it around, sent out peony flowers.
"Good! Good! That wand has chosen you now!" said Mr. Ollivander and turning to Tomoyo, he said "Stretch out your wand hand." Tomoyo stretched out her right hand and the Mr. Ollivander measured her hand. He then handed her a wand saying "Pine and Phoenix feather. 9.5 inches. Try!" Tomoyo just touched it when Mr. Ollivander snatched it back.
"No! It doesn't fit you! Ah! Try this! Lavender and Phoenix feather. 12 inches." When Tomoyo touched it, it immediate gave out sparks of purple.
"Hah! Good!" said Mr. Ollivander to Tomoyo. Turning to Sakura, he asked her which was her wand hand.
"Both." She replied.
"Hmm." he said, giving Sakura a funny look. " Hold out your right hand then." And he began measuring Sakura's hand.
"Try this! Rose and phoenix feather. 13 inches." He handed out a wand to Sakura but snatched it back almost immediately.
"No! Not this! Try this!......" Mr. Ollivander kept on asking Sakura to trying wands until all the wands had been tried but none fitted her.
"I don't believe this! Not one wand!" said Mr. Ollivander in puzzlement.
"Um.Do you have a cherry wood wand?" asked Sakura politely.
"Yes!" said Mr. Ollivander.
"Um.Can I try it?" asked Sakura.
"Okay!" said Mr. Ollivander and went out to the back room, returning with a handsome polished black wood box decorated with sliver cherry blossoms.
"Here! Cherry wood, stardust, moon dust, sun dust and phoenix feather." said Mr. Ollivander, handing her the wand. When Sakura took hold of it and swished it around, many cherry blossoms fell from the ceiling.
"I don't believe it!" exclaimed Mr. Ollivander. "No one has been able to control it! It's made up of such strong cores. Well, it has chosen you you'll have to have it."
Sakura and the others paid for their wands and went back to Eriol's house by floo powder.

"No way! You do it!" said Syaoran.
"Trust me! Just step into it and say 'Leaky Cauldron'." Said Eriol.
"I don't trust you within a foot of me." Said Syaoran. "You do it."

"So this is the place." Asked Syaoran who was looking around.
"Yes!" said Eriol. "Follow me!" All of them followed Eriol who brought them to a small walled in courtyard. Eriol walked over to the only trash can in sight, took out a long thin stick and muttering "three up.two across." tapped on one of the bricks. The bricks began rearranging themselves to form an archway while Sakura and the others watched in amazement.
"Welcome to Diagon Alley!" said Eriol with his mysterious smile (a.k.a evil smirk). Eriol walked through the archway, motioning for the others to follow.

"Hah! Good!" said Mr. Ollivander to Tomoyo. Turning to Sakura, he asked her which was her wand hand.
"Both." She replied.
"Hmm." he said, giving Sakura a funny look. " Hold out your right hand then." And he began measuring Sakura's hand.
"Try this! Rose and phoenix feather. 13 inches." He handed out a wand to Sakura but snatched it back almost immediately.
"No! Not this! Try this!......" Mr. Ollivander kept on asking Sakura to trying wands until all the wands had been tried but none fitted her.
"I don't believe this! Not one wand!" said Mr. Ollivander in puzzlement.
"Um.Do you have a cherry wood wand?" asked Sakura politely.
"Yes!" said Mr. Ollivander.
"Um.Can I try it?" asked Sakura.
"Okay!" said Mr. Ollivander and went out to the back room, returning with a handsome polished black wood box decorated with sliver cherry blossoms.
"Here! Cherry wood, stardust, moon dust, sun dust and phoenix feather." said Mr. Ollivander, handing her the wand. When Sakura took hold of it and swished it around, many cherry blossoms fell from the ceiling.
"I don't believe it!" exclaimed Mr. Ollivander. "No one has been able to control it! It's made up of such strong cores. Well, it has chosen you you'll have to have it."
Sakura and the others paid for their wands and went back to Eriol's house by floo powder.
