Chapter 2: Diagon Alley and meetings.


London airport was as crowded as ever. People everywhere hustling and bustling. Busy as they where, they didn't have time to even glance at the 7 newcomers that had piled into the already overstuffed airport. It was agreed that Andre would lead for obvious reasons. They walked for sometime before they came upon a small pub called The Leaky Cauldron.

Inside, men and women dressed in weird clothing sat at random tables; catching up in lost gossip. Andre approached the bar counter where a balding man was cleaning a glass. "Andre! So good to see you." The man smiled before grabbing a key and handing it to the boy. "Same room as th' last if I'm guessing correctly."

"Thanks Tom," Andre smiled. "Do you, by any and all hope, have about 6 rooms?". "Half" Tom replied. "I figured as much." Andre smiled again. "We'll take 'em. You never know when Fred and George'll charm themselves quadruplets." Tom nodded and handed over a few keys. Andre turned to the group. "Ok, So who's gonna sleep with who?"

"How about, . . . Hex and Tori in one room, Azote and Sue in another, while Fiamma and I take the third?" Rosa suggested. Secretly playing matchmaker at the time. After the rest of the group gave small agreements of there own, Andre led them to Diagon Alley which, surprisingly, was behind a brick wall. The group had already gone to Gringotts, The Cauldron Shop, Apothecary, Flourish and Botts, and Madam Malkin's Robes for all occasions. So here they where.

A wooden plank on the door, read in Pealing gold letters, Olivanders: Makers of fine wands since 382 B.C. "Haven't been here since forever!" Andre sighed to himself before heading in. It was a fairly small shop with boxes piled everywhere and dust that coated everything.

"Mr. Vara-de-oro! How long has it been? 5, 6 Years? A fine wand you've gotten to. Domestic Charry, 9 ½ inches with a single strand of hair from the tail of a very powerful unicorn. Got a few scars that day." The old man rambled. Only seconds ago, he'd popped out of no where causing Tori to Shriek, Azote and Hex to scream, Sue to look very surprised, Fiamma to cling to a certain Blonde/ brunette haired girl, and said girl to tense up and hold back a squeal while her father just tensed.

"Now what do we have here?" The man said having noticed the group. "Mr. Vara-de-oro! You've brought friends. I'm guessing they're the transfer students? Very well then. Now who would like to go first?" Everyone was in shock from his sudden appearance. Sue, being the first to recover, stepped up quietly. "Ah! Ms. Esprit-Rêveur! Come, come. Which is you're wand arm?"

Olivander had handed her wand after wand. Try after try. Surprisingly, nothing much got destroyed. He picked up another wand. "Violet Seed Ash 9¾ in. A strange combanation." Sue waved it and a purple fairy made of light with Transparent wings formed and flew around Sue's head before disappearing. : I guess this is my wand. : She thought while walking back to the group.

Next up was Azote. She also was handed wand after wand after wand. Having been handed another wand, she flicked it on the air. It shot out of her hand and through the window. She winced at the noise of the glass hitting the floor. "Tell me," Olivander said out of the blue. "Do you have a weapon that you use often?"

"Only my thorn whip."

"Hmmm . . ." He disappeared behind a book shelf and came out with a light colored wand. "Dragon Heartstring Mahogany 11 ²/3 in." He handed it to her and she waved it. She looked down. Her whip was in a circle around her feet from Tip to handle. She pocketed the wand and picked up her whip. Sending it back to her shadow realm room before walking back to the group.

Hex walked up next. "I have a spear I'm well practiced in using." She said before he could ask her anything. "Yes, yes. Of coarse." He said before heading behind another bookshelf. Azote Glowered at the smug smirk on Hex's face until Olivander came back. "Poplar 12 in. With a fallen angel's feather for a core." He said while handing her the wand.

She flicked it and a small, blue feather appeared in front of her before disappearing into thin air. Fiamma went up next. After many tries, Olivander handed him a blood red wand. " Dragon Heartstring Bloodwood 7²¾ inches. The core made form a flaming twig that couldn't be exstinguished." Fiamma waved the wand. The symbol that glowed on his mini staff(when he used it) was traced in the air with a red spark in the air.

He walked back mumbling something along the lines of 'dirty thieves' and 'my stick'. Tori literally hopped up next. She was also handed wand after wand until, finally, a pink spark shot out of a tip. "Another strange combination." Olivander sighed. "Birch 7³/5 with a core of a single pink feather." Tori hopped back to her place beside Hex and Rosa stepped up.

She'd gone through almost every wand in the shop. "What is you're racial background?" Olivander asked. Rosa seemed a bit surprised but answered his question. "My Races? Well lets see . . . There's Hispanic, Irish, Italian, American, Korean, Chinese, Japanese of coarse, Indian, Egyptian, Indonesian, . . . and Greek." Everyone look startled. Well, no one actually knew her racial background was that large.

"Hmm . . . I see." He disappeared behind a few shelves and returned a moment later with a dusty purple box. "This wand," He started, was one of my best. Made from Bolivian Rosewood and Pink Ivory Wood while the handle is simply Rose wood. About 10 ½ in. with a rose petal and thorn from a black, white, and pink rose." Rosa stared at it a moment.

The handle was a light brown and was embedded with small spinal pink, schoral, and white danburite crystals. The rest was a mix of black and a slightly lighter shade of dark red. She picked the wand out of the box and the wand seemed to pulse as a great amount of energy shot through her body. The wind around her began to pick up and her earrings began to glow with an aura matching there color.

Her eyes closed instinctively, and a constantly changing soft rose and dark rose pink circle glowed underneath her with a scarab the same color. The glow seemed to also pick the wind up further. Making her hair float with the constantly changing pressure. She was slowly hoisted a few feet into the air before a black light erupted from the circle and engulfed her body in a shadow shield.

Her mind though, was else ware. She could see herself in a dark room when she opened her eyes. It was a plain wooden room with a wooden desk near a wooden door. In the middle of the room was a wooden chair while all across the floor was a bunch of forgotten papers. She moved to go pick them up when a golden gleam caught her eye. She nearly fainted at what she saw.

On the desk was the Sennen Scarab. Her Sennen Scarab. She ran over to the wooden desk and tried to grab it. Her hand just went right through it . . . along with the desk. She was like a spirit in another part of the world. 'Now I know how Thorn felt that year before she got her body.' She told herself before trying to grab it again. This time, her hand gripped the cold, lifeless, blood made mineral.

A bright light erupted at the touch and she closed her eyes so as to not get blind. When she was finally aware that her mind was back into her head, she could hear whispers like, "Will she be Ok?" or "What happened?" and "Is she dead?". She could hear her father cursing at the old man in the shop. Blaming him for her temporary double 'O' 'B', or Out Of Body experience.

She slowly stirred from her drowsiness and opened her eyes. Blinking a few times to get rid of the blurry effect. She sat up only to have Fiamma pounce on her before squeezing her into a tight hug. "Rosa! We where so worried about you!" He voiced. Her father was by her in an instant. Eyes shining with concern he'd only shown her, Mokuba, Thorn and her mother. "Are you ok?"

"I think so . . . What happened anyway?" She . Sitting up again since Fiamma was currently clinging to his half sister(Azote)'s leg. Apparently, after the shadows engulfed her, they disappeared a moment later and she was unconscious on the floor. Feeling an unfamiliar weight around her neck, she looked down. Around her neck where two wands that hung like pendants from string.

The first one was white with spinal pink and white danburite crystals embedded in the rose pink handle along with one schoral crystal. The other one was black with scoral and spinal pink crystals embedded in the handle along with one white danburite crystal. She guessed the white one had the rose petal and the black one had the thorn. They hung by string that contrasted with the basic color.

She stood up and paid for all there wands before Andre led them over to the pet shop beside Eyelop's Owl Emporium. Inside where creatures of all kinds. You think it and they'd have it. They wondered around for a while until Azote noticed Sue had stopped. They all turned to see what she was looking at and some nearly gasped in horror filled shock.

In a cage, struggling with all it's might, was a Moisture Creature(ATK: 2800 DEF: 2900). Feeling sorry for the poor thing, Sue opened the cage with much protest from the manager who had been watching the group. The Moisture Creature circled sue and landed on her shoulder so it could hide in her hair from the manager who, might I say, was angry.

Rosa continued on, having been to caught up in searching to notice no one was with her. She twisted and turned. Looking at all sorts of animals that ranged from frogs to monkeys with wings. A small black bundle caught her attention. It was a small, baby black dragon with large, chibi-like red eyes(I know what you're thinkin').

It sat in it's broken egg shell with the top half on it's head. He resembled the Red Eyes(BD) greatly. She picked up the small chick who still had the egg sell half on it's head. She giggled and took it off before lifting the hatchling so it could jump on her shoulder. It hopped gratefully onto her shoulder and nuzzled her neck like she was it's mother. She didn't have the heart to leave such a small thing in the shop.

She walked back to the counter where her father, Andre, Sue, and Azote where waiting. Sue had a Moisture Creature encircling her head like a hyped up snowball while Azote had a Howler monkey on her shoulder. Having looked up from arguing with the manager, Seto spotted at the small dragon on her shoulder and smiled.

For the chick reminded him of the REBD, which, in turn, reminded him of his puppy.

Hex soon walked up with an orange feathered, silver eyed owl perched on her shoulder. When said owl ruffled it's wings, you could see the blue tipped feathers. Tori was right behind her with a pink feathered, blue eyed harpy perched on her shoulder. They both approached the counter where the manager was currently arguing with Azote who had gotten annoyed at his voice level and tone.


Rosa landed in her bed with a thunk and a sigh. It had been a tiring day. There was a nock on her door. "Come in!" She yelled. Her eyes where closed so she didn't know who was in the room. Just that the person had closed the door. There was a small chirp that erupted from her little dragon chick which automatically made Seto her visitor since he'd asked to hold the chick before she went to her room.

The little chick jumped onto her chest and padded over to snuggle up beside her neck. She immediately sat up and reached for the chick at the same time. It moved around in her cupped hands that prevented it's escape before settling on just snuggling into the warm flesh. Rosa stared at the small chick for a few minutes before her father asked about earlier in the wand shop. Why she'd kept both wands.

Rosa sighed. "I don't know.". She paused. "After the shadow shielded me, I guess my mind left me. I was in a wooden room with a wooden chair, desk, and papers all over the floor. A few seconds later I noticed a flash of gold out of the corner of my eye. I could not have believed what had happened after that." She paused again. Thinking of the right words to describe the moment.

"I saw the scarab." She said out of the blue. "My Scarab. I willed my self to grab it. But my hand just went right on through my scarab and the desk. When I tried again, I gripped it. Hard. There was a blinding light which, I guess, had sent me back to my body. Right before I left though, I could feel a familiar aura. It was Thorn. But not only was she there, but . . . so was mommy."

She felt herself being pulled into a fatherly hug. She looked up and smiled at her father. Before he stood and left. Having gained the silent message that she wanted to be alone. So she sat there. In her room. Just staring at the ceiling. Soon, she got board and looked at the small dragon chick. It stared back with it's large, red eyes. "I think I'll call you . . . Lyins." She smiled. The chick chirped back in approval.

"Well Lyins," She sighed while plopping back down on her bed. "We'd better get some sleep. I'll be leaving for school tomorrow." The chick chirped and nestled itself into the crook of her neck. She laid there silently. Her eyes growing heavier with each second. She waited. And soon, she was engulfed into a deep sleep.
