Kilnorc: ok quick note...out of the goodness of my heart...and threats from Marik fangirls... -looks and sees Marik fangirls holding weapons of torture- uh...I decided to include Marik Ishtar in this fanfic...THAT IS ALL -RUNS LIKE HELL AS THE GIRLS GIVE CHASE!-
After the letters came, Yugi got phone calls from Bakura, Kaiba, Marik and Serenity.Joey talked to Serenityand after awhile, he discovered that she had talked to their mother who told them their ancestors were great wizards and witches. They were what they called PURE BLOODS. They didn't know a thing about this until their time was right. Why? For protection was all their mother told them. Bakura and Marik were surprised by their letters but were excited about going, Kaiba on the other hand, well...you know.
Monday came and Brian, Yugi, Tea and Joey were waiting at the game shop for the person called Hagrid. They didn't have to wait for the others. Serenity went with her and Joey's mother, Kaiba and Mokuba went with Ishizu who was also bringing Marik and Bakura.
"Yo, Yug! When's dis Hagrid fella gettin' here? I'm bored!" Joey whined. Brian and Tea stared at Joey. "Your in a game shop owned by your best friend's grampa and your BORED?" Brian asked him. Joey didn't reply to that.
The bell above the door rang as the door opened and a very large man ducked under and entered the shop. He was wearing a very large coat withwhat seemed to have many pockets. He had mangly, wild black hair and a matching beard. Sugokuro (SP?) walked up to him and gave him a handshake.
"It's been quite a while Hagrid. Haven't seen you since Yugi's parents were married," he said with a smile. "Ah, it's good to see ya Mr. Motou," the large man said cheerfully.
"THIS IS HAGRID! HOLY CRAP!" Brian yelled. The others stared at him. He rubbed his neck in embarassment. "Sorry, didn't mean for it to slip out like that. No offense intended," he said to Hagrid. He waved it off. "Naw, it's fine. So, are allfour o' ya ready to go?" he said looking at each of them.
"Yes, we're ready," Yugi said politely. He headed out the door following Hagrid. The other three followed them both to an area where an old building with boarded up windows was. They went inside and stood in front of a fire place.
-Leaky Cauldron-
Hagrid helped Tea and Yugi up before helping Joey up after Brian knocked him over when he exited the fireplace in a burst of green fire.
"OW! Brian! Watch it!" he cried as he got up. Brian sat up and glared at him "Hey I didn't know I was gonna ram into you like that! Back off," he said scowling. He got up and dusted the soot off himself. "Man, what the heck was that Hagrid?" Brian asked looking at the giant of a man.
"That there's Floo Powder that is...let's wizards get ter where their goin instantly!" he said helping Joey by yanking him to his feet. Tea looked around to find that they were in a dank area where other people were sitting and chatting amongst themselves. "Where are we Hagrid?" she asked as she spotteda man with a purple towel wrapped around his head.
"This here's the Leaky Cauldron, famous place it is. Among our kind anyway. We just go through the back door and we're in Diagon Alley, where we'll get what ya need fer Hogwarts. But first we gotta get ya yer rooms here since ye'll be stayin' awhile," he said making his way to a older looking man behind the tavern bar.
-Diagon Alley-
"Wow, nice doorway!" Joey said as he and the others saw the brick wall break apart and seperate to form an archway. The other three just nodded in silent agreement. "Hey uh guys, don't hate me for saying so, but when I learn magic, I'm gonna learn the most powerful spells there are!" Brian said grinning. They all sweatdropped while Hagrid scowled at him. "There's somethin' you ought to be careful with, too much of power can lead you down a dark path, it can," he said sternly. Brian just shut up right there about wanting to have great power. Yugi whispered to him "He's right, remember what happened with Bakura and Marik?" Brian nodded and gulped. He didn't want to end up like those two.
Hagrid led them to a white marble building with a sign that said Gringotts in gold. At the steps they saw a white haired young man holding up a ring around his neck made of gold. He was reading an inscription on a plaque on the wall.
Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
He was talking to it. "You see Bakura? NO STEALING WHATSOEVER!" he said firmly.
/Fine fine fine, hikari damn/ said Ryou's yami from within the Millenium Ring. He heard someone whistle and he turned around to find that Yugi, Tea, Joey and Brian were there behind him a few feet back. "Hello there you four! When did you get here?" he asked smiling. "Just ten minutes ago dude, wha about you?" Joey asked. "A few days actually, I've been looking around haven't even gotten my money yet for the supplies I need," he said sheepishly. "It's alright, we're here to get our stuff too! This is Hagrid by the way," Yugi said pointing to Hagrid who Ryou just noticed (he didn't see him right away? HES HUGE!). He stared at the huge man with nothing to say. "You get that alot, Hagrid?" Tea asked waving her hand in front of Ryou to bring him back. He nodded "It's alrigh' I'm used ta it. Come along now, we can get his money while we're getting yours," he said holding open the door to Gringotts.
They went inside to find a large hall with counters on ball sides, and behind those counters were small rather ugly looking creatures using scales and gems. Tea got nervous and got closer to Brian. "Scared Tea?" he asked. She nodded "Just creeped out anyway. What ARE these things?" she asked out loud. "There goblins, clever as hell, but not very friendly of beasts. Stay close," Hagrid told them leading them to the end of the hall. He coughed quietly but loudly enough to for him to here. The goblin looked up from his books and growled a bit. The humans shrank back.
"Mr.'s Motou, Berg, Bakura, and Wheeler, and Miss Gardner would like to make withdrawals please," he said politely holding up five golden keys. The goblin nodded and called to a goblin called Griphook. He told him to take them down to the vaults. They all climbed into a large cart and made room for Hagrid. "Naw, sorry I can't come with ya, I have to go pick up another student. He'll probably meet yaon the train, good luck and be careful all o' ya!" he said waving before they shot down.
At the end of the cart ride, Yugi, Joey, and Bakura stumbled out holding their stomachs looking very pale. Briancarefully stepped out and helped Tea up. "You guys ok? You don't look too good," he said looking at them. Yugi waved his hand, "Just a little motion sickness is all. I hope we don't have to go through that a lot of times, I don't think I could take it," he said. Griphook laughed, "Your in luck today boy, all your vaults are on the same ledge here. (I know there's no real ledge connecting vaults but roll wit it...I'm lazy) The only other ride you'll have to face is the ride back," he said stepping out before asking for each of their keys. Yugi went first, he opened up his vault and saw that he had a LOT of gold, silver, and bronze coins. MOUNTAINS of it. /Hey yami, check this out. This must be what belonged to my parents./ he said through their mind link. /Indeed hikari, it's very impressive/ the spirit replied. Yugi took a nice amount of it and headed to where the others were at their vaults. Tea's and Brian's vaults weren't that great but they had enough to last them awhile. Bakura had the same, while Joey on the other hand, had a fortune close to the size of Yugi's.
"Wow, Joey. That's amazing. Maybe that's all from your family throughout the centuries," he said. Joey just nodded too amazed to say a damn thing. After the trip back, they gathered in what seemed to be a waypoint between all the shops. "So, where to first you guys? I mean, we don't have to go to the same places all the time," Ryou trailed off. "Let's go get our wands first, then we'll decide what we're gonna do ok?" Joey said. They saw a shop called Ollivanders. They entered to find themselves in a dark and dusty store. Brian and Bakura went to one pile of boxes and looked at them, while the others just stood at the door. "Hello? Anyone here?" Tea called out. A short man popped out of nowhere and scared the hell outta Ryou and Brian, causing them to knock over the pile of boxes.
"Uh, sorry. You scared us," Ryou apologized as Brian put the boxes back. "Hm, I'm truly sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. I am Mr. Ollivander, the proprietor of this shop. I take it you are Hogwarts students? First year?" he asked looking at the others at the door. They all nodded. "Now, who's first?" he asked. Tea stepped forward "I am I guess," she said quietly. He waved at her to come forward to another pile of boxes. "Alright my dear, which hand is your wand hand?" he said. Tea sweatdropped "Uh, I write with my right so..." she began. Ollivander took out some measuring tape that measured Tea all by itself while he went through the store looking for something. Bakura took over Ryou's body. "Hey woman!Scared of that thing?" he sneered. Tea just glared at him. "Of course not you baka! Leave me alone," she said as Ollivander came back with a box. He opened it and handed a long stick with a grip on one side. "Here, Unicorn hair, ivory wood, 6 1/2 inches. Give it a wave, my dear," he said with a smile on his face. Tea did a quick swish and some blue and white sparks spewed forth from the wand's tip. Ollivander beamed. "I don't get many that find their wands on their first try. That will be seven Galleons," he said as he wrapped it up. She reached in her pouch and pulled out some coins. Ollivander explained which ones were which and she paid for her wand.
TOO LAZY! Here's the wand listings for the other group members
Yugi: Phoenix Feather, Oak, 9 3/4 inches
Joey: Phoenix Feather, Redwood, 8 1/8 inches
Ryou: Unicorn, elm, 7 inches
Brian: Dragon Heartstring, yew, 10 inches
After they paid for their wands, the group decided to go buy their school pets before they went their seperate ways. The reached the Magical Menagerie (Don't know, if that's the name, got the books too lazy to look it up! lol). They saw all sorts of animals. Bats, ravens, crows, toads, cats, owls, rats, etc etc. Joey decided to buy a black colored cat with big green eyes;Ryou bought a raven, Yugi bought a tan colored owl and Tea bought an auburn colored owl, while Brian couldn't decide on what to get. He looked and looked around until he saw apuppy. It was black with some red streaks in the fur. It looked mean and it growled at other customers that went near it. The shop keeper came up to Brian and noticed him looking at the dog. "Don't even think about it kid, that dog will never be friendly to ANYONE. I may as well put it to some use to the prison. Hey what are you doing!" he cried as Brian crouched down in front of the dog and opened the door to the cage. He held out his hand to the dog. The dog didn't growl or anything. It just came to him, sniffed and licked his hand. The shopkeeper just stared at it in disbelief. "How did you? He's never done that before!" he cried out. Brian picked up the puppy and looked at the shopkeeper. "So how much?" he asked politely. The shopkeeper just kept staring. "Well, since he's been here for a while, you can have him for 10 Galleons," he said quietly. Brian grinned and handed the money to him.
After he made his way through the shop he saw that Tea was waiting for him alone. "Joey and Yugi couldn't wait any longer and Ryou wandered off somewhere. OHH! WHAT A CUTE PUPPY!" she squealed. She reached over and held her hand out. The puppy stared at her and then up at Brian. He nodded and the puppy licked her hand. She petted him and the dog barked happily.
"Well, the Mutt's friend has a mutt of his own," came a voice from the right. They looked up to see Seto Kaiba and Mokuba standing there with boxes and bags. "Hey you two, how's it going? OH WOW COOL DOG BRIAN!" Mokuba said staring at the puppy. Seto grunted "Not a dog really Mokuba, that's a Worg. (Sound familar?) They can be very vicious on command. Only they can find their true masters and serve them without question. When they grow to theirfullsize, they become large enough for three people toride on.They are extremely loyal to the master and anyone the master says are allies.Like Gardner here,". Brian stared at him. "How the hell do you know that?" he asked. Kaiba smirked "I read books," came his only reply before he and Mokuba walked off. "Wow, Brian that's pretty cool. But do you think that they will let you bring it to Hogwarts?" Tea asked. He shrugged "I hope so, I love this little guy," he said as he pet his puppy.
"Well great, MORE freaks coming to Hogwarts" came a drawling voice. They looked behind them to see a boy with slick blond hair in a cloak. "Just ignore him, Tea. C'mon we should get going," Brian said as he put the Worg pup down and took Tea's hand. "Oh, how sweet. LOVEBIRDS" the boy continued and sneered. Damn whoever this is, he's annoying as hell. The boy was about to make more remarks when he cried in pain and started hopping on his right foot. The pup had bitten the boy on his other foot and some of his cloak came off in between the dog's teeth. The boy shot daggers at Tea and Brian before limping off. Brian crouched down and scratched behind his pet's ears. "Oh yeah, I'm DEFINITELY keeping you," he said as he rubbed the puppy's belly. Tea smiled at this and told him to get up so they could leave and buy their things.
