A/N-Hi! I'm back and once I finish my LA and SS projects, I'll be able to
update lots. No Algebra homework! I'm so happy!
Ok, here's review responses:
Ruth 4 kai-thanks! And I sort-of updated ASAP, but so much homework! That's my excuse anyway. ^_^
Hillary-Thanks! After I finish writing this I will read that, unless I already did and forgot I did or I'm forced to go to bed. Even though it's only 9:47, when my grandparents are over, I'm forced to go to sleep early. -_-;;.
Thornrose-Thanks! ^_^ I'm glad you like my story!
Mavelus-neices? Oh fun. I don't have any nieces yet, not that I know of anyway. O_O but I do have lots of annoying cousins! And some sweet ones too, but that's getting kinda off-topic. And I'm glad you found the Muffin thing funny, because I'm not exactly used to writing funny stuff, and I wasn't sure if it sounded funny or just a pathetic attempt of humor. And why Ryou was so nervous? You'll find out, but not in this chapter. I forgot to include him. Whoops! Oh well. ^_^
Ok, this was 1,016 words, and I'm happy. It was hard too, I had to keep making descriptions longer... yuck!
Chapter 5
"Hey, watch it!" Joey shouted, while the boy toppled over and fell.
"Are you ok?" Yugi asked the boy. He offered a hand to help the boy up.
"I'm ok, but I can't find Scabbers," said the boy, while he took Yugi's hand and stood up.
"What's a Scabbers?" Asked Joey.
"He's my pet rat. We're leaving soon and I can't find him!" The boy explained.
"We'll help you find him!" Yugi said, and immediately started looking around the hallway.
"Thanks!" Said the boy. The three searched in silence for awhile, until Yugi broke the silence with a question.
"What's your name?"
"My name's Ron Wesley, what are your names?"
"Yugi," Said Yugi, while still searching for the missing rat.
"Joey," Said Joey. They continued looking for the rat for a couple of minutes. Joey was getting really bored, and started just mostly sitting on a nearby chair. He was thinking about how they hadn't had any lunch yet and how hungry he was, and how even a rat would taste good right about now... he felt something fuzzy running past his leg. Joey looked down at what it was and snatched it.
"Is this your rat?" Joey asked.
"Scabbers!" Ron grinned, and then stuffed Scabbers in his pocket. "My mum wouldn't let me get an owl, I just got Percy's old rat."
"Was Percy the pink boy?"
"Yup." Said Ron. "Hey, you were the guys with Hagrid last night! I remember you now!"
A shrill voice called from the other room, "Ronald Weasley! Where are you? You come here right this instant!"
"Guess I gotta go now..." Said Ron.
"Nice to meet you though Ron!" Said Yugi enthusiastically.
"Yup! Bye!" Said Ron, and he ran out of the room before his mom could start yelling at him.
"That took a lot of time, finding that stupid rat." Remarked Joey. "And now I'm hungry."
"Really? Me too. Let's get ice cream," Said Yugi. They ran out of the hall and out of the Leaky Cauldron, and all the way to the ice cream shop.
As Joey was gulping down his ice cream and Yugi was eating it normally, they were also talking to the owner of the Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor.
"I usually don't hire 11 year olds..." Florean said. He turned to Yugi. "Are you sure you're 11?"
Yugi's face turned bright red. "Yes, I'm sure!"
"We'll work hard, we promise," Said Joey.
Florean looked at Joey's determined face, and gave in. "All right, you both can work here. You can start next week, so you can get all of your supplies."
"Thank you!" Yugi grinned. A customer caught Florean's attention, and so Florean excused himself.
"What should we do next?" Joey asked. "Get the rest of our school stuff?"
"Ok." Said Yugi. He took the last bite of his ice cream cone then threw away the grimy napkin.
"Let's go!" They took off down Diagon Alley, checking their lists for what they needed to buy.
Several shops and hours later, they stood up at the front of- "The wand place!" Joey grinned. "Finally, we're almost done of shopping!"
"Oh good, I'm so sick of all the jokes about my height." Said Yugi.
"Yeah, like the lady that made the robe-things!" Said Joey. "Remember: 'Oh, it's so cute how you are coming with your big brother to get his robes, don't worry, you'll get your robes someday. You're 5, right?'"
Yugi blanched, remembering. "Let's just get the wands, ok?"
"Ok!" Joey replied, and ran into the store with Yugi following closely after.
"Dark in here, isn't it?" Joey asked, peering about.
"Yup," Said Yugi, while he craned his neck to see if anyone was in the store at all.
"Welcome," said a voice from behind them. Yugi and Joey both jumped.
"Why did you sneak up from behind us like that?" Joey demanded.
The man ignored them, and said, "I presume you two are here for wands, correct?"
"Yes, please." Said Yugi. The man, of whose nametag read 'Mr. Ollivander' quickly scurried about like a mouse amongst the many shelves of slender boxes. Mr. Ollivander selected one and handed it to Yugi.
"Try this," said Mr. Ollivander.
"What should I do with it?" Asked Yugi.
"Give it a wave, of course." He answered. So Yugi waved it around, and to his amazement, fireworks erupted from the wand.
"Eleven and a eighth inches long, made of mahogany with two Unicorn hairs. Very good. Now your turn." Mr. Ollivander turned to Joey. He pulled out a wand from his pocket. "This one is just a prototype."
Joey waved around the wand with a bit more confidence then Yugi, and, like Yugi, fireworks exploded from the wand, filling the room with lots of color.
"Wow..." Said both Yugi and Joey.
"That's why it's a prototype, it's extra-strong. It is twelve and a half inches long, made of willow." Said Mr. Ollivander.
"Cool!" Said Joey. He and Yugi paid for their wands, and left the shop as quickly as they could.
They walked up Diagon Alley, waving their wands back and fourth, because there was almost no one in the street, until they accidentally hit some old man in the eye.
"Sorry Sir, are you ok?" Yugi asked.
"I'm fine, but put those away. There are lots of thieves about. And you don't know how to use them anyway." Said the old man.
"Ok, sorry. Is your eye gonna be alright?" Asked Joey. The man took his hand and waved it over his eye, mumbling some words Yugi couldn't understand. When his hand pulled away from the eye, the eye looked fine.
"Wow....." Said Joey and Yugi.
"Now off you two go! Have fun at Diagon Ally!" Exclaimed the old man.
"Thank you!" Grinned Yugi. "Let's go, Joey."
Yugi and Joey turned around, and took a couple of steps up Diagon Ally and had just about reached where they were going to be working in a couple of days when Yugi decided to say good-bye to the old man. He twisted back around again and gasped.
"He's gone...."
