A/N: Just to let you know, "blah blah", is Japanese
Chapter 4: Meeting Remus
Harry awoke the next day feeling refreshed and filled with an adrenelion he hadn't felt since he fought in the war. He got dressed, showered and did other things to get ready. Then, finally when it was 10 o'clock, someone knocked on the door. Harry got up and opened it. A man with brown hair and a tired expression on his face, staring at the corridor. Harry blinked a few times. "Yes?" Harry asked curiously, yet cautiously. The man snapped out his stare and stared at Harry instead, looking as though he didn't understand him. Harry sighed, rolling eyes a bit, and gave a slight flick of his hand. "Now can you understand me?" Hary watched in amusement as the man's eyes widened and looks around the room confused. "Well, can you?" Harry asked with amusement in his voice. The man looked at Harry with a confused look. "How the hell? I can't understand Japanese, let alone speak it. Well, not before this that is." Harry smiled amusingly at his astoundment. After a while of listening the man talking to himself, Harry interupted him. "Is there something you want?" The man snapped out his trance, and shook his head. "Are you Harry Potter?" Harry gave him a suspicious look. Why did this man want him? "Yes. That is my name." Harry gave him an uncertain look. "That's good. My name is Remus Lupin, I am a teacher at Hogwarts, and I'm here to take you Diagon Ally to get your school things." Harry blinked, then nodded. "Ok. When can we leave?" Remus smiled at this. "Right now of cause." Harry nodded and they left. "I suppose that Diagon Ally is somewhere in Britain?" Harry asked after a while of walking. Remus gave him a shocked look. "How do you know?" Harry smiled a mysterious smile. "I just know." They became silent as they walked. "How are we getting there?" Harry asked after a while. Remus gave him a questioning glance. "We're going to be taking a portkey to London." Harry gave him a questioning glance. "It's an object charmed to take you to another place at a certain time." Remus explained. Harry nodded, understanding what he said. "Where's the portkey?" Harry asked. Remus gave him a half shocked look. "It's around the corner." They walked around the corner, and Remus picked up an old book. Harry eyed it suspiciously. "This is the portkey. It's something no one would pick up, so I wouldn't have to make one myself. Another portkey that is." Harry nodded and touched the book. After a few seconds, Harry felt a pull, pulling him into the book. It took Harry a few seconds to realise that this was how the portkey worked.
Harry and Remus landed in an allyway. Fortuently for Harry, he landed with his dignity in tact. Unfortuently for Remus, he landed in an undigified lump on the ground. Harry gave him an amused look. "Need help?" He asked, his amusement evident in his voice. Remus shook his head, stood up and dusted himself off. Harry gave another slight flick of his wrist and the two now understood both English and Japanese (well, Remus now understands and speaks Japanese, and Harry now understands and speaks English). They walked through the streets of London for a while, Harry looking at the things he saw. Harry had never seen London before. Not in the past, before they built all these buildings, or when they became more advanced. It was truly the first time he'd ever seen London. "How long?" Harry asked after a few minutes of silence. Remus blinked, and gave Harry a confused glance. "You understand English?" Harry shrugged his shoulders. "I just suddenly could, that's all." Remus decided that he didn't like the look in Harry's eyes. After a few more minutes of walking, a beuilding they were getting to caught Harry's eye. 'So, this must be the Leaky Couldren.' Harry thought, mentally rolling his eyes at the irony of the title. Harry knew it was magical because he could see the aura surrounding the building. As they entered the building, Harry noticed that the people around them hadn't spared a glance at them, nor the building. It turns out the Leaky Couldren was a pub..or an inn. All conversation around them stopped, as everyone stared at Harry. Harry looked at them with a blank expression, eyebrow raised. "Yes?" Harry drawled in a sarcastic voice (A/N: Harry can be sarcastic if he wants to be). That snapped everyone out of their stare. Everyone stared at the scar on his forehead. "Bless my soul. It's Harry Potter." The bartender whispered. Harry stared at him as all the occupants of bar/inn went to shake his hand. Remus, sensing Harry's discomfort, led him to the back door. Harry looked at the allyway they were in with a raised eyebrow. Just then, he sensed more magic. Emitting from the wall on the far side. They walked over to said wall and Remus pulled out a long stick...thingy (A/N: Get your mind out the gutter you perverted people). He tapped a brick (Can't remember where at the moment) and all the bricks near it start to move until a large arc way appears. A plague appears that says 'DIAGON ALLY' in large letters. Harry smiled, he felt the magic in the air and in the surroudings. It felt...natural somehow. "Ahh yes. Diagon Ally." Remus muttered. Harry glanced at Remus out of the corner of his eye. They walked in.
A/N: There we go. The chapter is done. Tell me what you think of it.
