Chapter Four: Diagon Alley
Everyone was getting ready to leave when Kuwabara asked," Hey, wait a minute, how are we suppose to get to this Diagon Alley place? Are we going to walk there or something? I mean we're in the middle of no where."
"No of course not. It's too far away to walk to. We're going to use floo powder." Replied Ron.
"Floo powder? What the hell is that?" asked Yuske.
"I guess we'll soon find out." Answered Kurama.
"Alright Ron, you first. You kids watch how Ron uses the floo powder." Said Mrs. Weasley as she handed out a bag of floo powder to Ron.
Ron grabbed a handful of floo powder, stepped into the fireplace and shouted." Diagon Alley!" and was gone in an instance.
"Hey, where'd he go?" asked Gohan. "Right now, he's in Diagon Alley. That's how floo powder works." Said Harry. "Ohhhhhhh." Said an astonished Kuwabara.
"You next Gohan. Do it just how Ron had. Remember, loud and clear now." Said Mrs. Weasly. "Ok." Said Gohan grabbing some floo powder.
He stepped into the fireplace and shouted, "Diagon Alley!" and was gone.
Everyone took there turn in using the floo powder. In a few minutes, everyone was together in Diagon Alley.
Then Mr. Weasley said, "Well, first things first, we need to go to Gringott's and get our guest some money first." They al went to Gringott's and went to Gohan's vault first.
Harry was happy to see that Gohan had enough money to last him a long time. He would have felt awfully terrible to see that he was the only one with lots of money.
"Oh wow, how did I get all this money? Back at home, Mom always worries about living on the streets. I wonder how much zeni is here."
"Well dear, I don't know what a zeni is, but wizarding money is in knuts, sickles and galleons." Said Mrs. Weasley. Gohan grabbed a handful of money and put it in a pouch.
Next, they went to Kuwabara's vault. Kurama started to wonder how they got this money if none of them were wizards. But then again, they are in a magical world and anything would be possible. He thought.
"Damn it, look at all this money. Too bad this is wizard money or I could have just gave Okubo some money to live on." Said Kuwabara thinking back on that day when Mr. Akashi had prevented them from fighting for one week.
They spent the next 30 minutes at the guest's vault. The Weasley's vault was next and last. When they got there, Harry looked gloomy seeing how much money the Weasley's had compared to everyone else's quantity of money. Mrs. Weasley quickly emptied the money into her purse and they left Gringott's.
They spent the next hour buying their school robes and pets for the newcomers. They had all bought owls. Gohan named his Chobi, Kuwabara named his Mokubo, Yuske named his Toguro and Kurama named his Suichii.It was time for them to get their wands. " We'll meet you kids at Flourish & Blotts after you buy the wands." Said Mr. Weasley as he and his wife headed for Flourish & Blotts.
The kids went into Ollivander's and saw Mr. Ollivander standing behind the counter.
"Ahh I see I have some customers." He said stepping out from the counter. "Let's see, you first." pointing to Gohan. He walked along the shelves and took out a box. He went up the counter and opened the box and handed the wand to Gohan.
"Ahh, this is a fine one, eleven inches, ash wood, phoenix feather. Go ahead, giving it a wave." He said. "Uhh, ok I guess," said Gohan holding the wand in his hand. He gave it a waved it, nothing happened. "No, I guess not. Umm, here." Mr. Ollivander gave Gohan another wand. "Try this. It's ten inches, Namek wood, dragon heartstring."
Gohan gave this wand a flick, and golden sparks started shooting out of it. "Ahh, yes I knew it was the right one. Now for the orange-head." Said Mr. Ollivander. Once again he disappeared into the shadows of the shelves.
He came out holding another box. "Here, try this, eleven inches, red maple, tiger hair."
"Tiger, hmmm. reminds me of Byakko." Said Kuwabara. He gave it a swish and sparks shot out from it. "Good, and on the first try too." Said Mr.Ollivander. It was now Kurama's turn.
"Ok then, let me see. Which one is right for you?" He came out with a box and gave the wand to Kurama. "Try this, ten and one half inches, rosewood, fox hair."
Kurama gave the wand a wave and again sparks came out. "I must be getting better at this." Laughed Mr. Ollivander as he went to get Yuske's wand.
"Hmm. you're a difficult one." He said looking for the right wand. He opened a box and gave the wand to Yuske. "Thirteen and a half inches, maple, phoenix feather, here try it."
"I guess." Said Yuske and he flicked the wand. Nothing happened. "I guess not" said Mr. Ollivander as he took the wand back.
He gave another one to Yuske but that didn't work either. He gave Yuske his fifth wand to try. "Here Mr. Urameshi, nine inches, beachwood, dragon hair.
The moment Yuske picked it up, wind started blowing around him and he felt a warm feeling in his fingers. He waved the wand and golden sparks flew from it. All he said was "Cool."
They paid for their wands and headed toward Flourish & Blotts. All of a sudden, they heard a cold and sneer voice. "Well, if it isn't the famous Harry Potter and his poor friend Weasley." Said the voice in a sarcastic manner. "Huh, who's that?" asked Kurama. "That's the slimy git known as Draco Malfoy. Believe me, you don't want to be friends with him if you're good-hearted." Answer Ron in a whisper.
Malfoy continued, "And what do we have here? Puny first years? Potter's gone making friends with little, puny first years." "Hey Urameshi, let's go have some fun with him." Said Kuwabara cracking his knuckles. "Nah, he's not worth the time." Replied Yuske.
"What was that? I'm not worth your time? You shouldn't be insulting those older than you." Said Malfoy
"And you shouldn't underestimate people younger than you. You're lucky there are lots of people here or I'd make you pay for what you said. And who's young? Kurama here is more than three hundred years old." Replied Gohan smirking.
"Ohh, I'm so scared of a little first year. And besides how can someone be over three hundred years old and look like that?" asked Malfoy staring at Kurama. Kurama stared back and just smirked. "I shouldn't be wasting my time with you people." Said Malfoy and he walked away. "Obviously, he's never heard of a demon before." Yuske whispered to Kurama. He nodded in reply.
In two minutes they were at Flourish & Blotts. Mrs. Weasley saw them and said, "Your finally here. Come on now, you need to get your books." Twenty minutes later, they were done.
Kurama wanted to ask Mr. Weasley a question. "Mr. Weasley, I was wondering, how come me, Yuske, Kuwabara, and Gohan were accepted into Hogwarts when we aren't even wizards?" he asked
"Well, that is a very good question. I guess it's because of your special abilities that make you magical." Mr. Weasley answered. Kurama thought about this.
All of them left and headed back to the Burrow.
