Hello! I'm at my grandparent's house writing this cause I'm spending the night here! You know what's sad? I have no cable at home, which means no Inuyasha, and my grandparents have cable in both the guest room (where I'm, uh, sleeping) and in the den, so yeah!

I forgot to do a disclaimer last chapter! shifts eyes around it's not as if I did anything really bad. inuyasha falls out of closet he was locked in "meetingreality, you wench, you said there was ramen in there!" hehe...stuffs inuyasha back in closet you didn't see anything! and I don't own either Inuyasha or Harry Potter!

"Welcome t' Diagon Alley"

Kagome's jaw dropped. Subconsciously she stepped forward, then sped off at full speed at the sight of all the displays.

Hagrid followed her to one of the windows she was drooling on, and pulled her away toward a large marble building across the street. As they stepped inside, Kagome had to stop herself from staring at the short, hideous creatures, who's auras were questionable. Despite her attempts, Hagrid saw her fearful look and explained, "These ur goblins, K'gome, they run Gringotts Bank."

Kagome's expression softened a little, but she stiffened when one asked her in that snooty little voice they have (I hate that voice!), "May I help you?" Hagrid saved her from answering by saying, "We need ter open an account." With that, he whipped out a dingy old key and handed it to the goblin. The goblin inspected it closely before waving over another companion to show them the vault.

Hagrid and Kagome followed the other goblin through a set of large doors, into what appeared to be a cave. After a few awkward moments of trying to fit Hagrid into the cart, the cart jerked off deeper into the cave. Faster and faster they went, Hagrid looking very green, Kagome screaming for the cart to go faster, and the goblin mumbling something about his job not having dental insurance. ( I had to put that in)

The cart finally slowed to a stop, which all three passenger hopped off, and walked up to a circular, metal door. The goblin unlocked the door to reveal quite a stash of money (not as big as Harry's though). Upon seeing the money, Kagome frowned and turned toward Hagrid. "Since when did I have an account in a wizard's bank?"

Hagrid appeared to become uncomfortable at the question, and turned around and said, "This here vault isn't exactly yours, but a friend of yours. You're given permission t' take as much as ya like."

"But who's is it? I'd think I'd know if I had a friend for a witch or wizard."

"You'll find out soon enough. Now get yer money."

Kagome sighed and turned around to stuff a handful of mula into her pocket. They left Gringott's soon afterwards and Kagome purchased the items on the list Professor Dumbledore had given her.

"Hmm...It says here I need a wand. Where's the wand shop, Hagrid.?" Hagrid pointed over at their left. "That there's Ollivanders. You'll find a wand there. While you're there I'll be elsewhere." With that he turned around and left Kagome. She walked over to the door and pushed open the door, only to be barricaded by eddies of dust. Coughing, she closed the door and adjusted her eyes to the darkness.

"Hello?" she called. No reply. She called out again. Silence. She was just about to give up and find Hagrid when a raspy voice said, "Ah, Mrs. Higurashi, so nice to see you here." Kagome nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard the voice. An old man stood before her, looking at her curiously. "Uh, I'm here for a wand." Came her oh-so-intelligent reply. (WEll, duh, she's in a freakin wand shop)

The man nodded before disappearing behind the shelves, then returned a few seconds later with a long, thin box. "This might do; Oak wood with a unicorn hair." As soon as she had touched the wand, one of the dirty windows burst. Olivander snatched it out of her grasp and shoved another wand into her hand. A lamp flew off into the steet through the broken window, where shrieks could be heard. Again Ollivander hastilly grabbed the wand and replaced it with another. This time nothing happened, much to Kagome's relief, then BOOM! The tip of the wand exploded and covered the whole place in ashes. ( You know how in cartoons dynamite will explode and the character's hair go back and their face is all black and stuff? That's how they looked) Kagome gave a nervous laugh and set down the destroyed wand on Ollivander's desk.

"Maybe...", the old man murmered, suddenly looking thoughful. Once again he disappeared behind the shelves, and returned with an old looking box. "I made this wand years ago, but I never thought I would sell it. It is willow wood with phoenix tail feather and unicorn hair. Very powerful combination, only someone pure and strong can use it." He held out the wand to her.

Kagome hesitated, then carefully took hold of the wand and gave a small wave. Immediately the shop was rid of the ashes and both people looked normal again. Kagome gave a sigh of relief and Ollivander looked at her curiously. "That will be ten galleons. Oh, those are the large, gold ones." Kagome handed him the money and thanked him, then made her way outside to find Hagrid. The lamp was still flying around, so she ducked and ran toward the Leaky Cauldron, where she supposed Hagrid would be. Sure enough, there he was, sipping on a butterbeer, as the three kids she had met earlier had told her. (aka, harry, ron, and hermione) He noticed her as she approached him.

"I see ya found found a wand. I was starting to git worried since you took a long time. Anyways, you'll be staying here tonight, and tomorrow you'll board the train t' Hogwarts." She nodded and thanked him for all he had done for her, then proceeded to her room. Just before she had unlocked her room, a shadow caught the corner of her eye. A sense of familiarity came to her, and she stared long and hard at dark corner. 'No, it couldn't be...' She thought, then shook her head and entered her room.


How's that for a chapter? Good, huh? Well, it's longer than usual, so I'm happy. I have almost figured out a plot, but at the moment I'm just making stuff up as I go. Okay, Simon, you're up! Simon looks up from the magazine he was reading and glares at meetingreality.

SM: This was not in the job description! I'm a bodyguard, not an announcer!

MR: Suck it up, Simon. Besides, you have nothing better to do. Now do it. Before I get mad.

SM: But

MR: NOW!

SM (speaking quickly): Here's the polls: Harry/ Kag 3 , Draco/Kag 0, and other/Kag 0. Have a nice day!

MR: That's better. Now for the reviewers:

jaryjosephwantsapplejuicenow: I can't spoil it and say what house she's in! But I will tell you that it's not one of those made up ones.

krissy: yeahh! I updated pretty soon, didn't I? I'm so proud of myself!

BRAC3 FAC3: hmm...butt kicking...that gives me an idea...MWAHAHAHA!

RoaringWind: Thank you so much for the suggestions! I think I know what I'm going to do now! About the writers block for your story, I could help you out, just tell me if that will be okay.

otakualways: yeah, a new reviewer! she went through about fifteen wands in this story, haha! poor Kagome.

Right now, I'm relishing the fact that it's still Spring Break. yes! all right, see ya!
