CHAPTER 9

After a thrilling ride back to the bank. They got out of the cart and They said goodbye to Griffty then they walked back into Diagon Alley. The two thunder sisters were obviously relieved to see their master save again.

"Milord where were you? We couldn't sense you're presence anymore!"

"No worry. I was down into the vault of Gringotts. They must go very deep if you couldn't feel my presence anymore. But we should leave now. Thanks for you're assistance miss Black it would have cost me much more time without your help.

"You're welcome Sir,.? I don't know your name!"

"Xelpholis, Lord of Thunder, Guardian of the Rod of Stormar and Protector of the 2e Storm."

"That's a lot of titles, Xelpholis."

The Thunder Sisters, looking utterly violated quickly put their spears at her throat: "It's Sir or Thunder Lord for you little girl!" they said almost growling.

"Relax Sisters, It's alright. We are of equal rank after all. You must know she is the Guardian of the Rod of Elorin." Xelpholis said showing for the first time a smile.

The two thunder sisters immediately fell down on their knees: "Were sorry Lady, we didn't know. Please forgive us."

"Oh, please stand up. You two said it yourself: You didn't know." She said blushing furiously.

"Thanks you Milady." The two said while standing back up.

"My name is Aurora, please call me that and not milady."

"Yes Lady Aurora."

But before she could reply Xelpholis intervened: "It is time for us to go, sisters."

"Yes Thunder Lord!" The both sprang back into positions on his sides."

Harry suddenly felt his scar tingle, the thunder lords staff was starting to emit more lightning from the orb on top, the lightning sprung from the top moved around his arm over his body to his other arm which was now stretched out and pointed forward, the bolts sprung from his hand and formed the shape of a metal gate. With a gesture of his hand the gate moved open to reveal a large open plain where storms were brewing and lightning hit the earth every few seconds. The three marched trough the gate and it closed behind them and vaporised.

Harry, Ron and Aurora stood there for a few second amazed by the extraordinary exit of the Thunderers.

The first to awaken from her stupor was Aurora: "All Right then, let's go get our school supplies." She said cheerfully and ran away in the direction of Flourish and Blotts.

After Ron and Harry entered the book store they saw her skimming the section on animagi.

"What are you looking for?" Harry asked her.

"A book on how to become a animagi."

"Excuse me miss, but maybe this is something for you." The saleswizard grabbed a book from the top of the bookcase and handed it to her.

"Becoming an Animagi, by McGonagall. Cool! I'll take it, oh and we three need the fifth year books."

"Excuse me," Harry interrupted "But I also need combat-magic for beginners."

"Ah, very well. Dumbledore must really believe that You-know-who is back then." The saleswizard muttered: "That'll be 7 galleons for each set of schoolbooks, 27 galleons for 'becoming a animagi' and 4 galleons for 'combat magic for beginners' will that be all?"

"No, I want this one too." Harry said

"Hmmm, let's see 'All about fairies, hidden powers and weaknesses' that one is 11 galleons."

"Why buy a book about it. I can tell you all that's in there!" Lily chirped happily from her spot on Harry's shoulder.

"I thought It might be userful for when you're not around." Harry replied.

After that they went to Quality Quidditch Supplies and Aurora bought a Firebolt for Ron and a Nightstar for herself. It is much faster than a firebolt but lacks in balance. Ron complained that's she bought it for him but she had a very good argument: "I didn't buy it for you, I bought it for myself so that I have a more capable opponent." This convinced Ron to accept the Firebolt.

Then they went for Ice-Cream at Floreans and had a great time tasting weird new combination he had made up.

Then Aurora went to Madam Malkin's to get new robes, Ron hadn't grow out of his old ones and Harry was going to get robes at school.

A half hour later she walked out again with two bags with robes, she also wore some kind of new fashion robes which clung nicely to her body. She smiled as Ron quickly looked the other way blushing furiously. Harry also smiled: "Looking great Aurora."

This made Aurora's cheeks turn pink and she quickly hid it by running towards the Leaky Cauldron while shouting: "Last one there has to pay the butterbeer."

Harry and Ron sprinted after her, finally Ron had to pay for the butterbeer.

After a great time with Tom and some of the other weird people at the Leaky Cauldron, A Satyr actually made a attempt at seducing Aurora but send her into a hysterical giggling and he quickly slumped off.

"Hey Tom! You have the time?" Ron asked the man.

"Six O'clock." He answered.

"Bloody, Mom will kill us if were late for dinner. Everybody ready to go?"

"Just a sec." Lily quickly threw the rest of her butterbeer in her throat. "Ready!" she said while flying towards Harry. Harry couldn't help but noticed that she couldn't fly in a strait line. He smiled after she had settled herself on his shoulder, which took quite a lot of time because she kept falling of, but finally succeeded. So Harry threw some floo powder into the fire and shouted: "The Burrow!"
