(A/N: In this chapter they'll meet some new friends. The new friends are based on real life people, my BFFs!)

"That was the best shopping spree I ever had," Lily said, carrying her shopping bags.

"Was it because you had a lot of money or because we're in Shanghai?" James asked.

"Both," Lily replied, blushing. Everyone laughed. They had just spent the last hours shopping like mad spendthrifts and now, were walking past buildings and shop houses. As they were passing a flat, they stopped, there was a noisy ruckus inside and then, it stopped. The double doors swung open and a teenage Chinese girl flew out. "Ahhhh," she yelled as she fell, face first, onto the ground.

A fat lady, wearing a purple out fit, came out and threw out a messenger bag. It landed on the girls head with a soft thump. "You are out, Elvira!" the lady said. The lady started screaming words in rapid Mandarin. She took in a deep breath, glared at Elvira and stormed inside the building, slamming the doors behind her.

The black haired girl stood up and dusted the dust off her clothes. She had wavy, shiny, well kept black hair which was tied up in a loose ponytail. Her eyes were a light shade of blue and her skin was very pale. She was wearing a light blue shirt, which matched her eyes, and a pair of jeans. Her sneakers were faded but Harry could see they were once blue. She bent down and picked up her bag, suddenly a wand fell out; she gasped. She bent down, snatched it and pointed it at the group.

"Wait! Wait! Wait!" Fred and George said as the girl named Elvira halfway muttered a charm.

"Wait for what?" Elvira asked. "No Muggle is supposed to know."

"Well, lookie here," Fred said enthusiastically. "She speaks English."

"Of course I speak English," Elvira said. "And so does- Oh my gosh!" She pushed her wand into her bag and ran to the doors. Before she even reached the handle, another ruckus started inside. Elvira buried her face and groaned in her hands.

It sounded like a hurricane in there. The lady was yelling at the top of the voice screaming Chinese swears at someone. Tables and chairs fell to the ground as the lady chased the person all over the ground floor of the flat. The doors swung open again and two more teenage girls were thrown out of the flat with their bags. The lady gave them a dirty look before closing the doors behind her.

"Danni, Nadia. You both okay?" Elvira asked. Both of them gave her the thumbs up and began to grab their bags.

Nadia had straight brownish red hair and green eyes. Her skin was a little darker, compared to Elvira, and she was wearing a white and red T-shirt and black jeans. Her messy hair was tied up in a loose ponytail

"Kicked you out too, Dan?" Elvira said. "What did she say to you this time?"

"I'm a disgrace to all that is Chinese and all purebloods," Danni said, exasperatedly. "Blood traitor, dressed inappropriately, put a little colour in my life, cheer up. I swear, one day I'm going to-"

"Looks like you're okay then," Elvira said.

Harry couldn't help to agree with the lady. Danni's Chinese face was pale and she had black eyeliner around her eyes, she wore black eye shadow and lipstick and her straight, black hair was streaked with red. She wore a black shirt with a picture of a red rose on the front and she wore long, black jeans with black boots.

"Who are they?" she asked, her dark eyes looking at Harry and the rest.

"They saw my wand, I was about to put a Memory Charm on them-" Elvira began but she was cut off by Nadia.

"Elvira!" Beatrice said. "Do you know who that boy is?" She looked at Harry.

"Ummm… uhhhh…" Elvira said.

"That's Harry Potter!" Nadia said. "The Harry Potter. The Chosen One! The Boy Who Lived! And that's Viktor Krum! The world famous Bulgarian Quiddich player!" She stared at both of them in awe. She turned to a shocked Elvira and an emotionless Danni. "And you were going to wipe their memories?"

"I-I didn't know it was him," Elvira stuttered. "I'm sorry." She grabbed Harry's hand and shook it vigorously.

"The world is full of unexpected events," Danni said. "This is one of the good ones."

"I thought Harry Potter lived in England," Nadia said.

"Me too," Elvira said, letting go of his hand.

"Very unexpected," Danni said, dully.

"We are on a journey," Fred and George said.

"Can't speak Mandarin," George said.

"Need to get to Shanghai," Fred said.

"Map's in Mandarin," George said, showing them the map

"Need a translator," Fred said.

"Bad," George said.

"Up for it?" Fred said.

"Okay, I guess," Elvira said. "You two up for it?"

"Yes, yes, yes," Nadia said.

"Okay," Danni said, shrugging.

"Lemme see the map," Elvira said. James handed her the map and she looked at it. Her eyes darted to one state to another. Her eyes widened as she read the names of the locations they were going to past. "You know you're passing a lot of dangerous creatures and places on the way, don't you?" she asked. They nodded. "Then count me in as a permanent member!'

"Well, that good to hear," James said. "What about you two."

"I'm still in," Nadia said.

"I'm already a big danger to myself," Danni said. "Won't make much difference when I get hurt. I'm already spiritually wounded."

"Okay…" Remus said slowly.

"It's okay," Danni said. "Most people are not used to my mood yet."

"Understood," Sirius said. "So which way do we go from here?"

"Out of this town and turn right on the leech infested swamp," Elvira said.

"Leeches?" Nadia said, warily.

Danni smirked. "Blood still runs in my veins but my heart doesn't beat. Loss of blood isn't a problem since I'm not really using it. I'm not even sure if I am alive. And no, I am not on drugs, Sirius."

Sirius stood there, rooted to the spot. He was amazed because he was just whispering to James of she was on a special kind of drug. "Wow," he said. "A mind reader?"

"No," Danni said. "I can read your emotions, see the look in your eyes when you talk, I feel your complex emotions. I examine it and confirm my conclusion."

"What?" Sirius asked, clearly confused.

"She can read lips," Elvira said, giving the map back to James.

"Do you have to ruin her fun?" Nadia asked.

"One. No, I didn't have to, I wanted too," Elvira said. "Two. Danni doesn't do fun, do you, Dan?" Danni looked at her with her emotionless face and slowly shook her head. "Now, my conclusion is confirmed," Elvira said.

"Any who," James said. "Which way do we head?"

"That way," Elvira said, pointing to a completely deserted dirt road which led to a dead end.

"You sure?" Ron asked. "It looks completely bare to me."

"Actually this is similar to your Diagon Alley," Danni said. "It's called, Dragons and Moon Road to us, but it's just a nameless dirt road to Muggles."

All of them walked down the dirt road, as they were approaching the orange brick wall, three thieves jumped out from the alleyways. They yelled something in Mandarin. "What did they say?" James asked. "They want our stuff and money," Elvira said. "They're so dead," Danni said. "True," Nadia said. The three girls got into position, leaving the rest of them in silence and awe. They performed complex martial arts on the thieves who were surprised and shocked as they got beaten up by three teenage girls. About two minutes were enough for them to run for their lives, yelling and screaming.

"Wow," James said.

"Thanks," Elvira said, taking out her wand. She tapped five different bricks and stepped back as the bricks moved aside quietly, revealing a stone path passing many shops and inns. It closely resembled Diagon Alley with a few minor adjustments. Chinese lanterns lit a dark path. The shops, which the red glow illuminated, had dusty windows and rickety doors which creaked when a breeze blew past. Nadia noticed Harry staring at the street and said, "You don't want to go into Bloodshot Alley. There's where the wizard black market and dark magic shops are."

"Well, we don't want to," Danni said. "And we're not going through." For a slit second, Harry thought he saw a bit of fear showing on Danni's face. But it showed no emotion, as always, another second later.

"I've heard rumours around there," Hermione said. "They kill and torture dragons in there. It creeps me out just by saying it."

"Oh, how I wish I could kill that dragon in my family," Danni said suddenly. Everyone except Nadia and Elvira looked at her with an expression of curiosity and confusion.

"Vot?" Viktor asked. "You haff a dragon in your family?"

"Not really," Danni said. "It's just that his name means dragon, or serpent or whatever in Latin."

"Her cousin," Elvira said. "A little sick in the head. Works for You-Know-Who, just got sent to jail for murder and trespassing."

"Killed two Muggles and a witch," Nadia said. "Shouted swears in his hearing to the minister. He kept shouting he would get out no matter what and get his revenge. Nut case, if you ask me. No one ever got out of Azkaban and lived to tell the tale."

"Do you think he could?" Hermione asked.

"Nah," Danni said. "His locked up safely with his dad. Loony thing, he is, that Draco Malfoy. Anyway, he would just kill the people that put him in there. It's not like it's you lot."

"Well, technically," Sirius said. "We are."

"For a good reason," Remus said.

"He's after my family?" Viktor asked.

"This is so wrong," Lily said.

"Very, very wrong," Ron said.

"This is very, very unexpected," Nadia said.
