Chapter 2
--------------------------------------
"Now that we all have the translation charms in place, let's go." Kurama said.
Hiei, still carrying the bag of illusions, walked behind Kurama. Sirius Black Walked behind Hiei, and Yusuke and Kuwabara walked behind Black, and for about the millionth time, Yusuke asked, "Are we there yet?"
Kurama sighed in frustration. "No! We are not there! I'll tell you when we're there, but we're not there right- oh, look. We're there." He said as they stopped in front of a shabby old building with a sign that said, 'The Leaky Cauldron'.
They walked in, and Yusuke rushed to the bartender, grabbing the bag of illusions from Hiei. "Give me the strongest thing you've got." He said.
"Yusuke, do you really think that would be wise?" Kurama said, remembering how Yusuke had only just gotten over the coffee he had had on the plane. The bartender looked at Yusuke suspiciously.
"You can't be old enough to drink. Why, you're just a kid." He said as Kurama visibly winced. This was not going to be pretty.
Yusuke glared at the bartender as the tattoos of his Toujin form began appearing and his hair grew. Energy crackled around him as Kurama, Kuwabara and Black slowly began to back up away from Yusuke. "What were you saying, human?" Yusuke spat.
"Uh. here! This one's on the house!" The bartender said, handing Yusuke a drink. The tattoos faded as Yusuke's hair began to shrink to it's normal size. He began to drink.
"Never upset a war lord." Kurama muttered to the bartender as they made their way outside. They closed the door behind them, looking curiously at the brick wall in front of them.
"Black, do you have any ideas?" Kurama asked.
"Yes. Do you think I could stop being invisible if I told you?" He asked hopefully.
"Well, if you transform into your dog form and act like an animal, then you can." Black immediately transformed into a shaggy black dog and tapped out a pattern on the brick wall with his paws. The tantai and Black walked forward into Diagon Alley, which lay before them.
"Is this cool or is this cool?" Kuwabara said.
"We have to go to the bank." Kurama said, reading Koenma's note. "Does anyone see the bank? It's called Gringotts."
Hiei looked up from where they were standing. A huge, white, marble building stood there with the words 'Gringotts' on it. About five minutes later, He got bored. "It's right in front of us." He replied as Kurama glared at him.
They entered the building. Yusuke took one look at the goblins around the bank and completely lost it. Beginning to transform into his demon form, he fired his spirit gun at random points in the bank, causing mass chaos. "Die, demons! Die!"
"Yusuke?" Kurama said as he rubbed his temple. "YUSUKE!" He yelled. Yusuke stopped what he was doing and looked at Kurama. "Yusuke, they're just goblins. Now get out of that form so we can get out of here." He said as Yusuke transformed back into his human form, looking at the damage his spirit gun caused.
Ignoring the smoldering walls, Kurama stepped up to a booth. "I'd like to open an account for a friend." He said.
The goblin looked at him. "Name?" he asked.
"Koenma." Kurama replied calmly.
"Deposit?" the goblin asked. Kurama took the bag of illusions from Hiei and began dumping jewels, gold, coins, kooromi tear gems, and other valuable items out of the bag. About five minutes later, Yusuke was leaning against the wall yawning, and even Hiei was tapping his foot impatiently. The bag was not showing any signs of emptying, so Kurama just stopped, and for the first time noticed the six or seven foot mound of valuables.
"Keep half of it as it is, and turn the rest into wizard money. Then evenly distribute one tenth of it into fifths." Kurama said as about twenty goblins came up, each holding a wheelbarrow, and scooped all the valuables up.
Kuwabara was staring at all the valuables. "Whoa, how'd we get that much stuff?" He asked. Yusuke shrugged.
"Kurama donated some of his treasures, I donated some of mine, and Koenma took some from his vault." He said simply, taking the bag of illusions and sticking it in his pocket.
A few minutes later the five left, each carrying a bag budging with galleons, sickles and knuts.
"How about we get our wands first?" Kurama suggested. "Oh, and Yusuke? Try not to go crazy every time you see a magical creature."
"I do not!" Yusuke said. "Oh, and why does Black get some money?"
"Because, Yusuke he's as much as a human as Kuwabara is." Kurama said as a boy, came up to them and stared at Sirius. Before he could help himself, Sirius bounded on top of the boy and began licking him, before Hiei sent him a mental warning.
"Black." Yusuke said. "Uh... down?"
The boy stood up and looked at Sirius. He had wild black hair, glasses, and a lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead. "Black?" he asked Yusuke.
Kurama panicked. "Uh, yeah. We named him Blackie, but we call him Black." He said. "By the way, what's your name?"
"I'm Harry Potter. Black looks just like my godfather, Sirius Black. He was an animagus, but he's supposed to be dead. Are you sure it isn't him? His name was just cleared last week." Harry said.
"Uh, no relation between the two. Nope, none at all. And while I'm at it, Yusuke's not a half demon war lord, Kurama's not a demon ,and Hiei's not a demon. Nope, no-siree!" Kuwabara said as Yusuke punched his face.
"Baka." He hissed at Kuwabara.
"You'll have to excuse Kuwabara. He's short a few brain cells." Kurama said. "By the way, I'm Minamino Shuichi, and this is Kuwabara Kazuma, Hiei, and Urameshi Yusuke. We're going to Hogwarts."
"Oh, you are? I am too!" Harry said. "I'm in the sixth year, but I don't think I've seen you before."
"Oh, we've been too bust to attend school for the past few years and since there was no more room at the schools in Japan, we had to come here." Kurama said. "We'll be in sixth year."
Harry looked at them strangely. Yusuke certainly looked about sixteen, but Kuwabara and Kurama looked about twenty, and Hiei looked like he was about twelve until you looked closely, then he looked well over twenty.
"Now, If you'll excuse us, we have to get our school supplies." Kurama said, bowing slightly to Harry before walking to the wand shop.
Kurama, Yusuke, Sirius, Kuwabara, and Hiei walked into Olivander's wand shop.
"Ah, here for a wand?" Olivander said, before halting. "You are not human, are you?"
"Aw, shit." Yusuke muttered.
"What gives you that idea?" Kurama asked.
"He has a high spirit sense." Yusuke said. "Can't you feel it?"
Kurama sighed. "Yusuke, haven't you ever heard of deception? And low profile?" Kurama muttered.
"Well, fox-boy, I don't see you trying very hard." Yusuke said.
"Hm... let's see... Yell at the bartender because you've been ageing differently over the past few years, completely lose control and go into your demon form while blasting everything in sight, to say the least." Kurama said, glaring at Yusuke.
"Ah, demons?" Olivander asked. "I myself know a few demons, them having done me a favor a few years ago. Have you ever heard of Jin?"
"Heard of Jin? HEARD of Jin?!?" Yusuke yelled. "He's my best friend, for cryin' out loud!" He yelled.
"You'll have to excuse my friend, he's not very used to being out of his own country, but yes, we are demons. Except for Kuwabara."
"Well then, let's do the human first." Olivander said as Kuwabara stepped forward. "Now, what is your wand arm?"
Kuwabara held out his arm, as a measuring tape began to measure it. Olivander went into the shop, to return a few minutes later with a wand. "Here, try this one. Twelve inches, holly, phoenix feather."
Kuwabara picked it up and waved it. A blast of yellow energy shot out of it, hitting the wall.
A few tries later, most of which caused the wand to shoot a blast of yellow energy out, Kuwabara found his wand. (ten inches, unicorn hair, willow)
Kurama stepped forward and held out his hand. Olivander handed him a wand. When Kurama waved it, a plant sprouted out of seemingly nowhere. That happened a few more times, until he waved one that somehow caused all the seeds in his hair to sprout uncontrollably, causing his hair to look like a hanging garden. It took about five minutes for him to get them back to their seed form.
"Plants?" Olivander said to himself. "I wonder..." he left and came back a few minutes later holding a wand."Try this. Eight inches, rose wood, core of a silver Kitsune. That's one of the wands that Jin helped me with."
Kurama fingered the wand before waving it, causing a stream of rose petals to fall to the floor gracefully.
"May I ask a question?" Kurama asked, looking down at the wand in his hands.
"Certainly." Olivander said.
"Is the Kitsune hair from Yoko Kurama?"
Olivander looked surprised, before asking, "Yes. Do you know him?"
Kurama smiled. "You could say that." He said with a smile.
Hiei stepped forward, holding out his right arm as Olivander looked at it. "What are the bandages for?" He asked.
"They're wards." Kurama said. "Hiei, use your left hand. If you use your right, the dragon might interfere with the wands power.
Olivander handed Hiei a wand. Hiei waved it, and a shelf caught on fire. After this happening about twenty or so times, Olivander pulled out another wand. "Try this one, nine inches, wood of a death tree, core of a special demon who's legend is known to many, the forbidden child." Hiei waved it and a black dragon came out, flying around, before disappearing.
"Three down, one to go." Olivander said as Yusuke stepped forward.
About thirty minutes later, Yusuke was getting bored. Most of the wands he waved had exploded in a blue blast. "Hey, Urameshi, could you hurry up? I want to eat!" Kuwabara said.
"I sat through while I waited for you to get your wand and now you want to EAT!!!" Yusuke yelled, slowly turning into his demon form. It was really a stupid thing to argue about, but Yusuke isn't exactly the smartest person out there.
A few minutes later, Yusuke was still in demon form glaring daggers at Kuwabara when Olivander timidly handed him a wand. "Here, try this. Eleven inches, oak, core of a blue phoenix-like spirit beast, courtesy of Jin."
"Wait. Blue, phoenix-like spirit beast?" Yusuke said. "Oh, I am going to KILL Jin!!!" he said as he waved the wand, causing a phoenix made seemingly of blue flames hovered for a few seconds.
"Wait, does Sirius need one?" Kurama said, looking at the animagus.
"Sirius? Sirius Black?" Olivander asked. Sirius looked at Kurama, who nodded, before promptly returning to his human form.
"Sirius fell into the Makai, and his wand was broken by a demon." Kurama explained.
"Well, then let's get you a new wand." Olivander said, handing him one.
About fifteen minutes later, Sirius had a new wand strapped to the collar around his neck and was back in dog form. Everyone paid for their wands and left, but not after Hiei muttered a threat to Olivander never to repeat what he had just heard. It was the usual Hiei threat, 'Tell and I will rip your soul out of your body, cut it into tiny pieces, then burn it, then do the same with your body.' Nothing out of the ordinary for Hiei.
They made their way to the book store, getting some strange glances at Yusuke, who had decided to just stay in his demon form. People were staring at Sirius. Apparently, it was currently a well-known fact that Sirius was an animagus.
As soon as Kurama stepped into the store, he rushed from shelf to shelf, getting the school books and a 'few' others. He stopped when he saw the name of a book, then opened it, his face paling as he glanced through it. Yusuke stopped to look at the title, before he paled too. "'An Encyclopedia of Powerful Demons'. Oh no." he said.
"That's not the worst of it." Kurama said as he turned the book around so Yusuke could see a picture of Kurama's demon form. Kurama flipped a few pages, and it showed Yusuke's demon form, which he was currently in. Kurama flipped a few more pages, and a picture of Hiei's demon form was on the page. "Plus, this is on our list of school books." Kurama said.
Yusuke, panicking slightly, quickly reverted back to his human form. "But- why would we need a book like that?" he asked.
"I don't know." Kurama said. "But you won't believe what else is on the list."
Yusuke took the list that Kurama was holding and looked down at some of the titles. "'The Three Worlds', 'King Enma', 'Raizen, War Lord', 'Yoko Kurama', 'The Forbidden Child', 'Dark Tournament, What Really Happened'. We are doomed!" Yusuke said, reading over some of the books they needed.
After the little book incident, Kurama hastily took the other books they would need, and any others that seemed interesting. The pleasure he had gotten from picking books was cut short by what some of the books were about.
They entered Madame's Malkin's Robes for all Occasions, where Kurama immediately rushed over to the clothes to examine them.
"Hiei, try this one!" Kurama said, throwing him a black robe.
"Hn. Why should I?" Hiei said, glaring at the black robe as if he could make it burst into flames. Then again, he probably could.
"Because it's on the list of supplies we need for school!" Kurama said, picking out robes for Yusuke, Kuwabara and himself. Hiei slipped the robe on. It was about five sizes too big.
"Oh dear." Kurama said, looking at the clothes sizes. "That's the smallest there is. We'll have to get you measured."
Minutes later, as Hiei put it, 'stupid humans were poking him with sharp objects'. He was playing pincushion, and not enjoying any of it. Finally he got robes that fit. Kurama had already picked out dress robes for everyone. Somehow, there were robes in Hiei's size of those.
They then proceeded to get their cauldron, potions supplies, and basically anything they thought was cool. That included a firebolt for each of them, a variety of swords for Hiei, a ton of joke items for Yusuke and Kuwabara, and basically anything else for Kurama.
Finally, they dropped all their stuff off at the Leaky Cauldron to come back and get it later.
Kurama had heard that there was a shop that sold plants, so he had to drag everyone there. Though he didn't make any purchases, he let Yusuke get some candy if he could distract the witches long enough for Kurama to get some seeds to each plant. That done, they walked back to the Leaky Cauldron, Yusuke munching on some chocolate frogs.

A little more humor then I would have thought... but whatever... the humor/drama levels will rise and fall depending on my mood...
I have a lot planned for this story! Like when the evil demon is controlling- Oh, I can't give it away yet!
