Chapter Two: Welcome Home.
"Thanks again." Sirius said as they exited the automobile outside of the Leaky Cauldron, a famous wizarding pub.
"It was no problem" Amy waved away his gratitude. "Aunt May and I enjoyed talking to you and your boys." She winked at Harry, Caleb, and Tristan, which caused them to blush and their dads to snicker behind their hands.
"Yes, well . . . we - um," Harry stammered while his cheeks turned pink again. He cleared his throat. "What I mean is, It was a pleasure meeting you both."
"Yeah, what he said." Tristan murmured.
They all said goodbye and walked into the Leaky Cauldron. The inside didn't look any better than the outside. It was dark and rugged, the air was filled with acrid smoke and the weather-warped floor was covered with old rushes.
There were a few costumers sitting at the bar and a few more lounging around the small tables, some talking quietly, other laughed and joked lightheartedly.
"'Ello what can I do fer ya?" The old bartender asked cheerfully from behind his bar. He was completely bald, practically deaf, and when he smiled the teenagers could see he had more than a few teeth missing. He really seemed perfect to be working in this particular establishment.
"Um, well, we're new in town and are probably going to stay here for a while," Remus replied and walked towards the bar, the other trailing after him. "But we need to go to Gingotts and get some shopping done first, so we'll probably be back in couple of hours."
Sirius and Remus then led the boys outback of the pub and into a tiny, walled in courtyard with nothing but a trashcan and some weeds. Sirius pulled out his wand and tapped in on a brick above the trash bin.
The brick wiggled and quivered, then a small hole appeared in the middle, growing bigger and bigger until it grew into a large arched gateway.
The archway led onto a cobbled street that turned and twisted out of sight.
"Ah, good 'ole Diagon Alley." Sirius sighed happily. He clapped Remus on the back and said, "Welcome home, Moony."
"Well, what do we do now?" Caleb asked as they all left Gringotts, the large bank that was run by goblins, with bags filled with gold and silver.
"It's a couple of months before school starts, so we had better go see if they still have room for three more students." Remus said thoughtfully.
"Alright, let's do that, but first, we need new clothes." Tristan told them cheerfully and dragged Harry and Caleb off in search for a clothing store.
"For such a nerd, your son is rather vain." Remus remarked to Sirius. And it was true. Out of the trio, Tristan was the one who spent the most time in front of a mirror, but the good thing was that he wasn't terrible arrogant about it. He just liked to look good.
"Yep, I've trained him well." Sirius said proudly, his chest puffed out and a huge grin was on his face. Remus just rolled his eyes and headed in the direction of the boys.
He found them looking in the window of a new store called Mary's Muggle Market, a place where they sold only non-magical items.
"Hey, we finally come to the wizarding world and your shopping at a muggle store?" Remus said as he walked up behind them.
"Yeah, but looking around at everybody, robes don't seem exactly easy to move in." Tristan replied, with his face still turned towards the window. "Muggle clothes are just more convenient, you know? Hey, look at that! I bet it would look great on Harry." He pointed to something in the shop.
Harry glanced at the outfit and blushed slightly. The thing that Tristan had spotted was all black leather; it consisted of what appeared to be a form fitting vest and a pair of hip huggers. The pants had a slit cut in the side, it started at the top and reached to the knee with laces criss- crossing it to keep the pants up, and the vest had two hidden zippers on the chest.
He trusted Shadow's opinion and if Tristan thought that he would look good in it, then he probably would and maybe, just maybe, Tristan Wanted to see Harry in it . . . He looked again at the leather clothing and blushed.
It was rather . . . different than anything he ever imagined himself in.
Next to him Caleb giggled quietly and Harry glared at him, his face still red. "Shut up, Swift, before I put you through a wall." He hissed softly.
Caleb smiled, then looked over at Tristan who had turned to see what was wrong. "Oh, I agree, Harry should definitely get it. Do you like it, Tsavo?" He nudged the green-eyed boy in the ribs, a sly smile on his lips.
"I - well . . . it's nice and all, but - it rea . . . really isn't me." The embarrassed boy choked out.
"Oh, sure it is!" Tristan gushed and grabbed Harry's elbow. "Come on, I want to see want it looks like up close. Then you can see if they have your size." He pulled a weakly protesting Harry into the store, with Caleb smirking behind them. Remus and Sirius were just confused.
"What was that all about?" Moony asked his childhood friend, staring after the teenagers.
"Haven't the slightest clue." Was his only answer.
