DISCLAIMER: I own neither JAG nor Harry Potter, or Disney . If I did I'd be writing scripts and not fanfic. I promise I'm Just playing with them, no copyright infringement intended.

A/N: Speech in double quotes, thoughts are in singles. I had everything in Romeo time to make it easier for you to figure out, now that they are in England I'll switch to Zulu, so that's why they're going to Floo that early to be there for a late lunch! Also, I changed the fact from canon about how many years it has been since the triwizard tournament has been played.

Chapter 5: Shopping In Diagon Alley

November 15

1400 Zulu

The Leaky Cauldron

London, England

One by one the members of the JAG team stepped out of the fire into the dank shabbiness of the Leaky Cauldron. A voice issued from behind the bar. "About time you got here." Standing behind the bar was what appeared to be old Tom the bartender – until he winked at Mac in a manner characteristic of Clayton Webb. He came over to them and whispered to the group. "I gave Tom the day off. Safer that way, he knows too many of you - It's a security risk."

He handed AJ a small piece of parchment and a key. "Take this to Gringotts. I managed to get you all a large amount of spending money from my CIA budget. Go to the counter and ask for Kimtar. I'll see you for dinner at Hogwarts and the meeting of the Order after that. Remember, no military ranks while you're here; if anyone asks you work at the ministry, the Department of International Magical Cooperation. Oh, and AJ, you take Jen to get a new wand. Ollivander knows it is on ministry tab. Also, replace some of her books. Here's a list of books I got from Hogwarts, but if she sees other books she used at Salem, let her get those. Mac, you may want to get some too – you know what we do and don't have in the library, so if you see something you want, get it. A trunk is waiting at Hogwarts for Jen, so don't worry about hauling it all around. And Mac, to keep you out of trouble for this morning, I took the liberty of renewing your expired Apparition license and backdating it to yesterday." He shot her a glare, then smiled. "At least you remembered how and didn't splinch yourself. If half of you had appeared in Rabb's bathroom…"

"Thanks, Webb. You always look out for me, I hadn't even thought about my license being expired! And the last thing I need is to get arrested first thing after rejoining the magical world."

AJ nodded to Webb and pulled out his wand, unlocking the entrance to Diagon Alley. Harm tried really hard not to stare as first the Apothecary and the Cauldron Shop, and then Eeylops Owl Emporium came into view. Mac ducked into the Apothecary, and emerged a few minutes later with a bottle of Snape's Simple Headache Potion. She handed this to AJ, saying, "I arranged to have a case of the tablet – form potion delivered to the office, disguised as a case of Excedrin. Budget appropriations and fitreps are coming; I figured you'd need some." AJ smiled and nodded his thanks as Mac continued. "I also restocked my medicine cabinet and ordered potion ingredients for Jen and I. Now that I'm admitting I'm a witch again, I may as well live like one. In fact, I think I'm going to buy an owl of my own while I'm here." She looked into Eeylops Owl Emporium. "But I need some money from my Gringotts vault first. With all the interest from the years it just sat there, there should be a decent sum in there. Or maybe I'll take Webb up on the offer of some cash. I haven't bought anything in the wizarding world in years. Hope I remember how the money works. I charged the potion and other things to my account, they're being delivered when I get home."

"That's a good idea, Mac. That way we won't have to drag it along. I think I'll order some housekeeping supplies and do that." Harriet said.

Mac nodded. "Nice to know I didn't forget everything." She turned to face Harm. "I haven't really done much magic since school, until your garage this morning. Although, I do admit to charming your meatless meatloaf to taste like banana bread when you were out of the room when we had all dinner last month. I always have my wand on me, although I almost never use it." She looked not the least bit guilty.

"Good. Next time you can do mine. That stuff was AWFUL! Sorry, Com-Harm, but it's true." Bud spoke up earnestly.

"Okay, people, Gringotts next." AJ led them down the Alley, past Flourish & Blotts, Madam Malkin's, and Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor. The door-Goblin ushered them inside, and they took Webb's note to the counter. "Kimtar! Take these people to the CIA vault, please. 50,000 Galleons, split between them, mixed coinage." Kimtar ushered them into two of the magical carts that were connected, and they shot off into the darkness. Suddenly a huge burst of flame blocked their path, and they quickly diverted course. Little AJ squealed.

"What WAS that?" Harm asked shakily.

"You just met your first dragon, Harm. That was a Chinese Fireball. Thank Merlin the one we're looking for is friendly, in case it's hatched." Harriet shuddered. "I've been terrified of dragons ever since I had to trick a Peruvian Vipertooth in the Triwizard Tournament."

Mac answered, "Yeah, Mic said he would find me an Antipodean Opaleye, he says they're rather friendly and make good security systems. I told him no thanks! But I did pet a baby one while we were on vacation – Mic and Harm were too busy breaking Bud's jaw to notice." She blushed. "Oops, I hope you knew that Mic was a Wizard."

"I figured it out when Harriet said they were related", Harm said caustically. "Is that why you were going to marry him?"

"No, Harm, that's why I didn't. But that's a tale for tomorrow when I'm rested and have a Butterbeer in my hand. Don't worry, Harm, they come in a non-alcoholic version." She added in reference to the look Harm had shot her.

The cart jerked to a halt and they disembarked in front of a high- security vault deep within the Earth. Kimtar stroked the door and ushered them inside. He then set the pile of colored velvet sacks he had removed from the cart on the floor of the vault, and with a snap of his fingers the money began to count itself into the sacks. He then handed a different color sack to each of them, and gestured back toward the cart. On the way back they encountered another dragon, which Harriet informed them was a Ukrainian Ironbelly.

Once back outside Gringotts they were met by a smiling Molly Weasley with a 6- month old baby girl in her arms. "Hello, Harriet dear. I was up here doing some shopping and Dumbledore suggested you might want me to take little AJ so you can get some serious shopping done."

"Oh, Molly, that would be wonderful. I really didn't know how I was going to get any real shopping done with him around, and there's a lot of shopping to be done. Is that Lauren's baby?"

"Yes, this is Sarah Loren Singer, soon to be Sarah Weasley. We're working on adopting her now that its clear that Loren isn't getting any better. She chose the name Sarah as soon as she decided to keep the baby. We chose the middle name Loren after she was given to us…" seeing the look on Harriet's face, Molly continued. "She said a friend of hers had lost one by that name… Oh, Harriet, I heard you lost one last year. Sarah was your daughter, wasn't she?"

"Yes." Harriet brushed a tear from her eye. Maybe she'd had more of an influence on Loren then she thought that day at the house. Little AJ hadn't been too far off the mark, though… "Perhaps tonight we could talk over a cup of tea? We'll have to hurry if we're going to finish shopping today."

Molly nodded warmly and took little AJ by the hand, heading off to the communal Floo Network Hookup in the Leaky Cauldron.

The adults headed to Madam Malkin's, where Madame Malkin and Jen had a tearful reunion. They picked out plenty of robes for all of them, and since they were friends of Jen, she gave them a good buy on some designer robes from her and Madame Thestral's exclusive collections. The two dressmakers each gave some shop space to the other, so Mac was able to buy a beautiful new set of Thestral Label Dress Robes. The women got their alterations done first, and as Mac and Jen could help, the alterations went quickly while the men tried on robes. They left little AJ's robes unhemmed, so they could try them on him first. Then it was the men's turn for alterations. Bud actually looked regal in the beautiful navy dress robes, but they had to order Harm's, because Madam Malkin only had one set of dress robes that was long enough, and they were an awful chartreuse color.

When the men got their alterations done, they went to the leaky Cauldron to listen to the Quidditch game on the Wizarding Wireless while Mac took Jen to Flourish and Blott's and replaced all of her schoolbooks. "You'll need them for reference, if you haven't done magic since you graduated!" Mac bought many books for herself, as she hadn't been in a wizarding bookshop in years, and hadn't done magic (except for that morning) longer than Jen had. She bought some new cookbooks, including "Magical Meal Preparation for the Vegetarian Witch or Wizard." Looking at the home books, she bought a book of new housekeeping spells and a few magical sewing pattern books. After she had loaded up of things for her bookshelf, she snagged a copy of the new Witch Weekly, and a copy of this month's Transfiguration Today. On an impulse she snatched a few copies of The Daily Prophet. She also picked up a copy of "Advanced Healing Spells for Persons with Dangerous Occupations" for the office first aid kit.

After Mac bewitched the bags with a feather-light charm and used a strengthening charm to keep the bags from breaking, they went next door and loaded up on parchment and ink, and Mac bought Harriet, Jen and herself each an new diary with a magical lock that put a hex on those who tried to open it without the correct charm. 'Let's see the office snoops open these,' she thought with a grin. They stepped out the door to go to Madam Malkin's only to discover the men, Wizard and Muggle alike, plastered to the window of Quality Quidditch Supplies, ogling the new Firebolt II broomstick and robes from the Quidditch teams of the world. Suddenly a voice behind them said, "Well, fancy meeting you here, luv. Looks like you did some heavy duty shopping!"

"Mic!" Mac turned around and said, "Mic, this is Jen Coates. We were just replacing all her schoolbooks, and updating my library. You think this is bad, look at the bags the guys have from the robe shop!"

After glancing over at the men, he said, "Wow, yeah. So what brings you to London?"

"Ministry business, Classified."

"Ah, the egg. I'll catch you later at Hogwarts then."

Mac then noticed that the men also had bags from the Cauldron Shop and Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. Mac, Harriet and Jen left the guys alone at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream parlor sitting with the bags at one of the umbrella covered-tables, the women promising to join them I a few minutes. Then they went down to the end of the alley to the magical beauty supply, and came out loaded down with many things, like Sleekeazy's Hair Potion, Magical Nail Polish that, when tapped with a wand, would turn the color of whatever robes the witch was wearing, and many other things. Then they went to the magical toy shop and bought some things for little AJ, and Mac treated herself a Wizarding Chess Board and two sets of Gobstones – one for herself and one for Harm for Christmas. She couldn't wait to see the expression on Harm's face when he made a bad move and got squirted in the face. They met the men back at Florean Fortescue's for Ice Creams, and walked idly along the alley.

When they were done, the men were finally IN Quality Quidditch Supplies, and came out a few minutes later with several large packages. Then they went to Ollivander's to get Jen a wand, and to have Mac's tuned up since it hadn't been used and conditioned properly. After Ollivander tested and tuned Mac's wand and sold her some wand conditioning polish, he turned his attention to Jen.

"I haven't seen you before."

"No, Sir, my first wand came from Franklin's in the states."

"Well, hold out your wand arm." His tape measure began to fly around by itself and measure every aspect of her. It was around her waist when Ollivander simply said "Thank You," and it flew back around his neck. He tried several different wands with no response, and finally when she picked up a rosewood and Dragon Heartstring wand, pink bubbles shot out the end. "Excellent!" Ollivander cried. "That'll be ten Galleons, on the Ministry of Magic account then - Sign here, please." He handed her a scroll of parchment.

From there they went to The Magical Menagerie. Mac didn't find the owl she wanted, but the kitten who kept rubbing against her ankles came out of the shop in his very own cat basket. Mac finally found a beautiful Snowy owl at Eeylops Owl Emporium on their way back to The Leaky Cauldron.

Their last shop visit was to Walton's Bulk Discount Wizarding Supplies (A/n the wizard's version of Costco.) They bought a 20 lb. box of Floo Powder, a several jar package of Mrs. Skower's Magical Mess Remover, and both Mac and Jen bought the deluxe magical housecleaning supply set, which included, among other things, more Mrs. Skower's, magical dish soap, a magic mop, and a copy of Gilderoy Lockhart's Guide to Household Pests. Harriet collected the supplies she needed, and they rejoined the men for ice creams. After a quick unplanned stop back at the stationery shop, as AJ wanted a new quill, the group headed back to The Leaky Cauldron. Once there, they divided their packages into two groups, stuff they needed at Hogwarts and stuff they didn't. The stuff they wouldn't need until they got home they put in a pile. AJ took out his wand, and said " AJ Chegwidden Home McLean!" The packages disappeared, and would appear at the Admiral's house in McLean. Meredith had keys and would take everything to the correct home and put it away. Then the group gathered the rest of the packages, threw some Floo Powder into the fireplace, and, one by one, stepped into the flames, heading for Dumbledore's Office at Hogwarts.
