Mokuba's Tenshi
~~~
"Seto, Seto, are you alright?" Mokuba looked at his brother worriedly. Seto had gone a rather nasty pale colour, and his mouth was opening and closing in much a similar fashion to a goldfish. "Seto?"
Hagrid, who had gone into the alley, turned around and asked impatiently, "Well, are yeh comin'?" Before seeing the shocked CEO, and turning around. "Come on then Kaiba, it aint that big a deal."
Kaiba just stood and gaped.
Hagrid rolled his eyes and dragged the poor boy from his well accustomed, technology based life into the stuff that Mokuba's dreams were made of. (Seto had no imagination, and therefore his dreams tended to be him typing away at his laptop.) being dragged into Diagon Alley seemed to wake Seto up however, for, he snapped, "Get your hands off me you oaf." As soon as he was inside.
Hagrid threw his hands up in his own defence, then the three started down the cobblestone road, Mokuba looking around in awe, Seto in disgust.
They passed many strange shops and stalls, and Mokuba had to fight every bone in his little body, not to go galumphing (Haku: my word...) down the street and buying everything he could lay his hands upon. Seto on the other hand, turned to the giant of a man and commented, "Where are we going?" in a rather icy tone.
Hagrid looked at him with mild distaste and replied, "Well, our first stop is teh Ministry o' Magic branch 'ere in Diagon. We gotta get yeh brother 'ere a readin' charm."
"And what, pray tell, is a 'readin' charm?" Seto asked, doing a cruel mockery of the man's accent.
Hagrid scowled, and his eyes lost a bit of their warmth. "It'll allow yeh brother teh read English." He commented, not at all liking the older Kaiba. "Then our next stop will be Gringotts, then after tha' just shops teh get 'is supplies." finished running through the schedule, Hagrid turned to a rather plain building, and ushered the two inside.
It was just like any corporate office, a few plants here and there, (Albeit some were moving of their own free will) a painting or two, (Seto blinked as he realised ALL of them had moving subjects) and a highly polished front desk to which Hagrid was leading them.
"Hello there, what can I do to help you today?" a dumpy woman at the counter said, as Hagrid approached.
"Erm Yeh, I'm 'ere teh get a reading charm done on this boy." Hagrid clapped a hand on Mokuba's shoulders, and he felt as if he would fall over.
"Hmmm. Okay then." Seto noticed that she appeared to be sucking the end of a long wooden shaft. The lady drew what was unmistakably a quill from her draw and proceeded to write on what seemed to be a form of sorts. She handed this to Hagrid. "Take this down that hall, and to the third door on the right. The door's kind of temperamental, though. remember to ask politely if you can knock first. The man inside should be able to help you out."
Hagrid nodded in a friendly way. "Thanks for teh help. And sucking yeh wand is a bad habit."
The woman laughed and took her 'wand' out of her mouth. "I'll keep that in mind."
Seto found himself following the giant of a man through a large hallway, where he stopped and asked the third Door on the right, "Am I allowed ter knock?"
Seto stared as if Hagrid were mad, then as if he were mad as the door handle unmistakably nodded. Hagrid smiled, and with a brief 'thanks' he knocked on the door. It swung inward, and a pudgy little woman on the other side asked, "What can I do for you today fellows?"
Hagrid smiled fondly down at the woman, giving her the form and commented, "We're ere to get a readin' charm done."
The woman smiled. "Of course. Who is the person getting the charm done?"
Mokuba stepped forward meekly, shyness seemed to have come over him.
The lady nodded and went back to reading the form. "It says here, you speak English and read Japanese, but can only write in Kanji. Is that true?"
Mokuba nodded, wondering how the lady knew that, when they hadn't told the lady at the front desk.
"Well then child, close your eyes, and it'll all be over in a second." She pulled out another of the shafts of wood. "Causa Acroasis*" Mokuba heard Seto gasp behind him. The boy slowly opened his eyes. "Thanks Miss..." he spared a glance at the nameplate on the desk, "Telling."
"Well at least we know the charm worked, the plate is written in English." Mokuba gasped and Hagrid nodded.
"Thank yeh for yeh time."
He led them out of the building.
~~~
(Haku: Insert boring scene in which Seto nearly faints at the sight of goblins in Gringotts)
Now out in the sunlit air, Mokuba knew the first stop he wanted. The note that he had pulled out of the envelope had said he was allowed to get a pet, so he had forcefully told Hagrid, (in a way which was so reminiscent of his brother Hagrid nearly laughed) That he wanted one. Which meant that now, they were waling into the animal menagerie with Seto looking strangely anxious. The goblins were still fresh on his mind, and he wondered what other strange creatures he would meet whilst in the alley.
Luckily though, he was spared this, as most of the animals appeared normal. MOST of the animals appeared normal. Some were so plainly magical that Seto wondered why the hell people didn't notice them in real life. And unfortunately for the business man, his brother was looking at one of these right now. A half cat, half eagle one of these. Mokuba had found a griffin.
"Seto! I want this one!" He had called, racing over to the strange creature's cage, and practically dancing with glee at the sight of the black furred and white feathered creature, which was roughly the size of a kitten. it's auburn eyes blinked and it clicked is beak in a playful way, flapping its wings and dancing about the cage. The store hand seemed to sense a sale, and came over to the two, beaming thoughtfully.
"Ahh yes, a griffin did the young master want?" He asked, in a voice which was so oily that it had to be fake. This immediately snapped Seto into business mode, and even though he was reluctant to get his brother a pet, if Mokuba really wanted it, Mokuba got it.
"Yes, we were interested in purchasing it, but we wish to know it's price before we do anything on the matter. AND why the griffin is better than say an owl or a cat." The cold voice of the CEO snapped at the man.
He seemed to be taken slightly aback, but took the small feathered creature out of it's cage, where they could get a better look at it. Though Seto resented it, he found himself admiring the creature's beauty. Two feathered ears lay across the creature's eagle-like head, and the front half of it's body was feathered, legs ending in scaly talons. The back half of the creature was suave and catlike, black fur glistening in the store's light. it's long, flexible tail ended in a lion like tuft, and it carried an elegant grace about it, without even trying. Feathered wings sprouted from halfway down it's back, and they fluttered weakly in an attempt to fly. "The griffin has all the usefulness of an owl, and an impeccable sense of direction. They also form a bond with their master, and have the loveable nature of a dog, whilst growing no larger than the size of an average housecat. At least this breed won't anyway. They are incredibly loyal, and they have an incredible sense of duty to their masters." The store hand said, giving the griffin to Mokuba. Mokuba squealed with delight as the griffin tried to lick his face.
The CEO nodded. "Let's talk prices."
The shop hand gulped, at the man's icy tone, and said, "That particular griffin is 30 galleons." Seto sighed, the wizarding currency he could convert easily once he knew the rate, and the price meant that the griffin was approximately 300 dollars US. (Haku: I'm saying a galleon is 10 dollars here, it's easier that way.)
"15."
"Sir, I must insist. This griffin is relatively cheap for it's breeding and quality."
"15 or I take my business elsewhere."
"27"
"18"
"Sir..."
"18"
"24"
"20"
"Done."
Seto nodded, and paid the man the gold. Mokuba 'yipped' and the griffin whistled, finally taking to the air and landing on the boy's head.
Hagrid had watched to process rather dumbfounded, as Seto had haggled, thinking to himself what a remarkable business man the Teenager really was. He turned his attention to Mokuba. "So, What're yeh gonna call 'im?"
Mokuba looked at the griffin, who looked back, rather cute, for the griffin was sitting on Mokuba's head, and had to lean over to look into the boy's eyes. "I'm going to call her Tenshi." He commented.
Seto smiled, not knowing why, but the Griffin made him somewhat more relaxed about this magical world his brother was going in to. After all, something about Mokuba naming the Griffin 'Angel' meant that he at least would have a guardian Angel when his brother couldn't be there.
"Sir! You left your manual behind!" The store hand ran out, and handed Seto a small book, How to take care of your Griffin. Seto sighed, opening it with much trepidation, he looked down the contents page. There, in chapter 5 was what he feared.
Housebreaking your griffin.

* Roughly translates to reading aloud... well the last word does anyway.
Haku: That chapter was nice and long, but in the next Chapter, Mokey'll get his wand!
Seto: Great, just what I need... a brother with a pet griffin and a wand.
Haku: Hehehe...
Y. Haku: Erm... Read and Review?
