DISCLAIMER:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER OR BOY MEETS WORLD CHARATERS! THE WMT'S ARE MINE.
"All students must be equipped with, a standard size to putrid cauldron and may bring if they desire either an owl or a toad." Shawn read off his required items list.
"Can we find all this in London?" Topanga asked Hagrid.
"If ya know where to go." Hagrid replied with a smile and led Cory, Shawn, Topanga, and Harry into a small dirty looking place whose sign only showed up when you where two feet from it. When they walked in, what was seen was a bar atmosphere with dull lighting. The bartender asked Hagrid if he was gonna have the usual, but Hagrid politely declined saying that he was on Hogwarts business. Suddenly the bartender recognized Harry and called out to him. The bar went silent at the sound of Harry's name and people quickly introduced themselves and shook his hands. "Oh! Hello Professor! Didn't see ya there!" Hagrid said to one person in particular. "Guys, meet you Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher, Professor Quirrell."
"Oh! Nice to meet you." Harry said extending his hand to Professor Quirrell, but Quirrell drew back.
"Very fascinating subject."
"Yes, well, must be going. Lots to buy." Hagrid said while nodding towards the back door. "See Harry, you're famous!" Hagrid said once they were outside, standing face to face with a brick wall.
"Yes, but why am I so famous?"
"Not sure I'm the one to tell you that." Hagrid said and tapped a few bricks surrounding a brick that looked like it had been pushed too far into the wall. When he finished, the bricks peeled back so a street filled with last minute shoppers and lined with stores could be seen. "Welcome to Diagon Alley!" Hagrid said as he made a gesture for Cory, Shawn, Topanga, and Harry to go in before him.
"It's the Nimbus 2000! Fastest broom yet!" Harry heard some kid say as they were passing stores. Topanga brought to mind that they didn't have any money to pay for this. So Hagrid told them that there was a WMT that they could use. When Shawn said he had no clue what a WMT was, Hagrid told him what the WMT stands for.
"The 'w' stands for worldly, the 'm' stands for money, and the't' stands for transmitter."
"But, I don't have any money to transfer, Hagrid." Shawn pointed out.
"You have a vault in Gringotts!"
"How?"
"Well, Shawn, you're half and half. Your mom has a bank account set up here and she knew you would be coming, so she had one made for you." Hagrid explained. When Hagrid, Cory, Shawn, Topanga, and Harry were standing outside Gringotts, Hagrid showed Cory and Topanga how to use the WMT's and told them how much muggle money to take. After doing so, the five walked inside and saw a bunch of imitating creatures peer down at them from their tall desks. Wondering what they were, Topanga asked Hagrid and he responded by telling them that they're Goblins. Hagrid approached a free Goblin and said:
"Mr. Harry Potter and Mr. Shawn Hunter would like to make withdrawals."
"And do Mr. Potter and Mr. Hunter have their keys?" the Goblin said peering down at them.
"Oh! Got them here somewhere." Hagrid said and the Goblin gave him a look as if he was saying, 'Why do you have them?' Hagrid pulled out the keys and a letter whispering "And there's something else as well." Hagrid lowered his voice intending for only the Goblin to hear but Harry, who was standing closest heard as well. "It's about you-know-what in vault you-know- which."
"Very well." The Goblin said sounding very serious and led the five to what looked like roller coaster tracks and whistled for a cart to come. When it did, the Goblin whistled again and another cart came zooming into view slowing just before it hit the other cart. The Goblin then enchanted the two carts so that they were welded together. Then another Goblin came into view and sat himself in the front car as the other Goblin walked off. Harry slid in next to the Goblin and Hagrid beside him. In the back, sat Shawn, Cory, and then Topanga on the outside. As soon as she sat down, the two carts sped off into the darkness.
"Vault 516." The Goblin announced. Hagrid turned to Shawn.
"This is your stop." Shawn slowly walked out of the cart and stood on solid ground, but he wobbled and looked like he was gonna fall over, so Hagrid came out and supported him.
"Lamp, please." Hagrid handed him the lamp. "Key, please." And Hagrid handed the Goblin Shawn's key and the Goblin opened the vault door revealing piles of gold, bronze, silver, and copper. Hagrid handed Shawn a black velvet bag and told him how much to take of each kind. When Shawn, Hagrid, and the Goblin sat back down, the carts sped off into the darkness again. The cart stopped suddenly and the Goblin announced, "Vault 687" this time the riders in the cart stepped out and went through the same process as before. After sitting down again, the carts sped off into in the darkness yet again. When the carts stopped, just Hagrid and the Goblin got out.
"Best if you lot stayed here." Hagrid said in a bit of a nervous manner and quickly followed the Goblin up to vault 713. Hagrid patted his upper chest pocket to secure what he had taken out of the vault.
"What's in your pocket?" Topanga asked Hagrid.
"Can't tell ya, Topanga. Hogwarts business. And it'll be best not to mention this to anyone." The four kids nodded in agreement.
When outside of Gringotts, they went to buy their supplies. After getting everything but a wand, Hagrid told them to go to Ollivander's and he'd be back soon. Inside, Cory, Shawn, Topanga, and Harry set their stuff down on vacant tables and counters.
"Hello?" Topanga said in hopes that someone would answer back.
"Hello." Cory said with a wave and a devilish grin.
"Cory Matthews!" Topanga snapped. "I didn't mean you!"
"Cory?" Did I hear you say 'Cory Matthews'?" A voice said from behind a tall shelf.
"Yes, I did." Topanga said with an uncertain look on her face.
"I wondered when I'd be seeing you. Your dad's dad was in here well over 40 years to the day." By now the four had decided that the man was Mr. Ollivander.
"I knew it! She was so strange talking about magic and she always used the word 'Muggles' when she came over." Cory said pretending he knew that his grandfather is a wizard.
"I hate to break it to you, Cor, but you had no idea what a Muggle was until last night. So how would you knew what he meant by that?" Shawn looked at his friend doubtfully. Cory was wringing his hands.
"I-I-I, well, I, um."
"Are you here to get wands or not?" Mr. Ollivander asked saving Cory some embarrassment.
"Yes, yes, we are." Topanga said stepping up to the counter. Mr. Ollivander went back to his stash and pulled out a dark blue box and just as he was about to hand, he drew back.
"First, I'll need to know your name." he said with a grin.
"Oh, sorry. I'm Topanga Lawrence." Mr. Ollivander twisted his face and asked her an odd question.
"What is your mother's maiden name?"
"I'm not exactly sure." Topanga said a little embarrassed by the fact that she didn't even know her own mother's maiden name.
"I could have sworn I saw her in here before. Maybe it was her mother or someone else. By chance, was anyone in your family named Jeanine?"
"My Grandma Lawrence."
"That's why I thought I recognized you! Here!" Mr. Ollivander said handing her the wand he was holding. Topanga held it unsure of what to do with it. "Well! Give it a wave." Topanga pointed the wand at the desk in front of her and it exploded into flames! Cory, Shawn, and Harry started laughing while Mr. Ollivander tried to put out the fire.
"You think this is funny?" Topanga said with a stern look and held the wand she was holding close to Cory's face.
"No, I think it's," Cory looked up and down the wand. "Wood." Mr. Ollivander had to pull hard to get the wand out of Topanga's grasp.
"Here, try this." He said and handed her a mahogany wand. Topanga waved it in the air and a shower of blue and green sparkles fell upon her. "Ah yes! Another wand chose its wizard. Or in your case, witch. Next!" Harry walked up. "Name." Mr. Ollivander said without looking up from the receipt he was making for Topanga.
"Shawn Hunter." It took Shawn four tries before he a swirling blue mist and it took Cory three tries before he was showered in red and green sprinkles. When his friends saw Cory's colors, they twisted their faces.
"I like Christmas." Cory explained sounding childish.
"Name." Mr. Ollivander said without looking up from the receipt he was making for Cory.
"Harry Potter." Mr. Ollivander looked up instantly.
"Bless my soul! So you are!" he threw the quill he was using down and handed Topanga her receipt and walked back to his stock of wands and pulled out wand that was made of oak and handed it to Harry. Harry waved it and failed twice and Mr. Ollivander walked to a dark section of his stock and slowly pulled out a wand and held it half off the shelf, deep in thought, but he handed the wand to Harry. Harry gave it a wave and he found himself in an invisible wind. "Curious. Very curious." And then he explained why. Just after Mr. Ollivander finished explaining there was a sharp knock at the window. Cory, Shawn, Topanga, and Harry turned to look. There stood Hagrid holding two bird cages and there were two more by his feet, with beautiful owls in them. The four practically ran outside almost forgetting their purchases.
"This snowy white bird, Hedwig, goes to Harry. This beautiful gray bird, Tabby, now belongs to a Mr. Cory Matthews."
"Oh goody! Hello pretty birdie!" Cory said in is childish way while attempting to pet the owl through the cage. Hagrid looked at him with a worried expression and continued passing put owls.
"And you Shawn, will receive this one." Hagrid said handing him a black and white (more black than white) owl named Midnight. "And that means you, Miss Lawrence, receives a beautiful brown owl with white spots named Cecil."
"Thank you!" Topanga said and gave Hagrid a small hug.
Later that night, at dinner, Harry asked about He-Who-Must-Not-Be- Named, the wizard who had gone bad, who had the only other identical wand to Harry's, which Mr. Ollivander brought up earlier. Hagrid didn't want to answer, but he did anyway. He explained that the one who killed Harry's parents was Lord Voldemort and once he decided to kill someone, the was no surviving him. Except for Harry.
"That's why you're so famous Harry." Hagrid concluded. "Well, best be off to bed. Big day tomorrow." Cory, Shawn, Topanga, and Harry got up from the table with Hagrid close behind. But Shawn, who was leading, turned around and asked Hagrid what happened to Voldemort. "Some say he died. Codswald in my opinion. I believe he's still out there, too weak to carry on." Hagrid's eyes had a distant gaze in them. "But one thing's certain." Hagrid said his eyes more intoned to reality. "Something about Harry stumped him that night. He's the boy who lived."
"All students must be equipped with, a standard size to putrid cauldron and may bring if they desire either an owl or a toad." Shawn read off his required items list.
"Can we find all this in London?" Topanga asked Hagrid.
"If ya know where to go." Hagrid replied with a smile and led Cory, Shawn, Topanga, and Harry into a small dirty looking place whose sign only showed up when you where two feet from it.
