Chapter 4: Welcome to Diagon Alley
"Luna!" Usagi cried out in surprise. "What are you doing here? How did you get here?"
"You didn't think I would let my charge leave by herself, did you?" Luna asked as she strode around to stand in front of the trio. She let her gaze slowly sweep over the two strangers, gaping like fish out of water.
"It talks!" Harry finally managed.
"Humph!" Luna replied as she climbed up on Usagi's shoulder. "Of course I talk! How else am I supposed to look after Usagi?"
"Er. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to, err, be rude."
Luna nodded her acceptance "To answer your question, Usagi-chan; I am here to keep you out of trouble. Don't laugh. You seem to specialize in finding it."
"No fair!" Usagi exclaimed. Trouble finds me!"
"Sure. Okay. Anyway, Setsuna sent me."
Usagi felt her anger rise. "I asked her not to tell anyone! I commanded her not to! I-"
"I saw you leave"
"I... I... I..."
"Err. I hate to interrupt, but we have things to do." Harry said cautiously. "Hagrid? Shouldn't we be going?"
"Err. Right you are, Harry. Come on kids, let's go." The trio started off again, just as Luna jumped off Usagi's shoulder.
"Wait. Where do you think you're going, Usagi?" Usagi stopped so fast that Hagrid walked into her and Luna watched as they did their Larry, Curly, and Moe impersonation. Finally, her patience wore out. "Well?"
"Going to get things for school. " Usagi answered as she pulled out the letter from Hogwarts, handed it to her, then righted herself.
Luna read it, and then read it again. "I don't understand. How did this school know you were coming?"
"If I may, ma'am," Hagrid interrupted.
"Luna, please" She sighed.
"Err. Luna, Professor Dumbledore knows a lot of what goes on when magic is involved."
"Is this Dumbledore-sensei, the headmaster?"
"Er... Yes, he is -"
"Good. I want an interview with him when Usagi-chan goes to this Hogwarts Gakkou."
"Anno. Luna, how do you know so much English? A man cast a spell on me; did someone do the same for you?"
"Good heavens, no!" She exclaimed as if taken aback. "I lived in England long before I met you"
"Er... Luna, Usagi is Sailor Moon, isn't she?" Harry asked.
Luna eyed Usagi, who backed away before saying, "I didn't tell him. He saw me fight and put two and two together and figured it out."
"How?" Luna asked icily. Usagi dove into the events that happened on her arrival, explaining every thing. 'So, you have a new power, and a new enemy. Who happens to be that traitorous bastard-"
"Luna! I didn't know you had it in you!" Luna smirked at Usagi's joke.
"There is a lot about me you don't know."
"Well then, we have some shopping to do." Harry commented before he walked off with Hagrid, Luna, and Usagi in tow.
As they walked down the alley, looking at all the things for sale, Usagi suddenly tripped herself over. A pair of pale cold hands caught her, and Usagi glanced up at the pale blonde boy, around Harry's age. "Thank you." She said apologetically as she straightened herself out.
"My pleasure." The boy answered. "May I ask for your name?"
"Er... My name is Usagi Tsukino." Usagi said cautiously
"That's a beautiful name. Rabbit of the moon, isn't it?"
"Er... Yes. Anno, thanks for catching me. But I have to go now." Usagi took off at a run, catching up with the others outside a building, and followed them in. "Where are we?"
"We're at Gringotts, th' wizard bank. Ain't no safer place in the world. Well, except maybe Hogwarts."
"Anno... Hagrid,"
"Yes Usagi?"
"Ihave no money, or account here" she said miserably. She really felt like going shopping.
"That's fine. Hogwarts is paying for all your things." Hagrid said happily.
"Sugoi! Thanks!" Usagi cried out?receiving several cool glances from the creatures behind the desks along the sides of the hall.
"Shhh.! Goblins don't like people shoutin' in 'ere" Hagrid whispered as they approached one of the pale, bat-eared creatures, sitting behind a high desk.
"Mr. Harry Potter wishes to withdraw some money. And I have a letter from Professor Dumbledore requesting to withdraw some money from his personal account." Hagrid said, handing over two letters and two keys. He then whispered "The second letter is about you-know-what in vault-you-know- which."
Usagi and Harry looked at each other in curiosity. The goblin read the letters and then said in a high pitched nasal voice, "Right, follow me."
***
After a stomach churning rollercoaster ride in an apparent mine cart, they reached Harry's vault. Usagi waited in the cart until Hagrid, Harry, and the goblin returned.
"Hey Usagi, look at this!" Harry exclaimed, handing her a small pouch to hold as he got in the cart. She opened the pouch and saw big, round, gold coins, smaller silver ones, and even smaller bronze ones. "Wizards' money!"
"An' ya better put it away too, Harry" Hagrid said disapprovingly. "The gold ones are galleons. Seventeen silver sickles to a galleon, and twenty nine bronze knats to a sickle." ***
Next, they stopped by Professor Dumbledore's vault to retrieve money for Usagi, then the proceeded to ride down several levels until they came to a vault with no key hole. The goblin got out and walked up to the vault, the others following close behind.
Luna jumped off Usagi's shoulder and pattered up next to the goblin. "Well, what do you know! Your mother had one of these to hold your heirloom before your inheritance."
"Yes, well, step back." The goblin commanded as he ran a finger down the middle of the door.
"Only those whose ID is locked within the door can open it. Anyone else would be sucked in to wait for someone with the correct ID." Luna informed them.
"How often do you check them?" Harry asked as he tried to see around the massive Hagrid. All he saw was Hagrid retrieving a small odd-shaped package wrapped in brow paper.
"About every ten years." The goblin smirked.
"Who's ya mum, Usagi? She musta been very rich to afford one o' these." Hagrid inquired as he placed the small package in his pocket. "Best not t' mention this to anyone, 'kay?"
All three nodded then climbed back into the cart and headed for the surface.
