I don't own Harry Potter, Powerpuff Girls Z, Slayers, the Chronicles of Narnia, or Sailor Moon.
You'll find out the references in the chapter. There is also a quick glimpse of someone at the end of the chapter.
Cousins?
When everyone got back to the main floor of Gringotts Mrs. Weasley turned to her husband "Arthur, you take the boys to get their supplies. Bill and I will take the girls and Takaaki to get theirs. We'll meet and Flourish and Blotts to get the books" she said as she handed him about half the money from their vault.
Mrs. Weasley led Bill, Takaaki, and the girls to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions first. On the inside they were greeted by a squat, smiling witch dressed all in mauve.
"Mrs. Weasley, nice to see you. So which one of your children is starting Hogwarts this year?" the woman asked her.
Mrs. Weasley replied "My son Ron, he'll be in later with Arthur to pick-up some used robes. I'm here to help some of our foreign relatives get their supplies for their first year. These are our cousin's from Japan Momoko Akatsutsumi, Kaoru Matsubara, Miyako Gotokuji, and her boyfriend Takaaki Iwamoto. They are going to be staying with us while they go to school at Hogwarts."
Madam Malkin smiled and led the four children over to a spot so she could start fitting them with robes.
Bill leaned into his mother and whispered "Mom, I don't remember you saying they were our cousin's."
Mrs. Weasley turned to him and proceeded to explain everything that had happened the previous night.
"That doesn't explain why we have to pretend they're our cousin's" Bill asked confused.
"Professor Dumbledore came up with the idea. That way the Ministry will leave them alone and not try to lock them away," she told him concerned.
Bill asked her if she had told dad. She told him that she had let him read the letter from Professor Dumbledore had sent that morning.
At that moment they heard Kaoru groan, "Why does it always have to be a skirt? I hate skirts!"
Ginny began to giggle when she heard this.
"Kaoru, remember what you said about that other skirt all those months ago. You got used to it, so you're going to have to get used to this one to. It's part of the school uniform," Miyako told her smiling.
Kaoru sighed and agreed with her.
Madam Malkin then said that she was done and handed each of them their school clothes when they paid her.
When they walked outside Takaaki asked Mrs. Weasley the same question Bill had. She told them the same answer as Bill. They all agreed that it was best to keep it quite about where they were from.
After about another half hour Mrs. Weasley had stopped to check the list of supplies they needed "Let's see, the only things we need to still get are your books, wands, and a pet for each of you. Let's try to get a pet first."
They walked towards two buildings. The one on the right was named Eeylops Owl Emporium and the one on the left was named Magical Menagerie.
"You can choose from an owl or maybe a cat. No toads though, there just disgusting" Mrs. Weasley informed them with a shiver.
The four children talked for a bit and then decided. Miyako and Takaaki were going to get cats, while Kaoru and Momoko wanted to get owls. Mrs. Weasley told Bill to take Kaoru and Momoko to get their owls, while she took Ginny with her to help Miyako and Takaaki with their choices.
When both groups came out of the shops they took a look at the pets they had chosen. Kaoru had an Eagle owl in a cage, Momoko had a small Barn owl that was also in a cage, Miyako was holding a small cute black cat with a white crescent moon shaped patch of fur on its head, and Takaaki was holding a small white cat that had a yellow patch of fur on its head like Miyako's.
"So what are you going to name them?" Ginny asked Kaoru and Momoko pointing at their owls.
"I'm naming mine Glimfeather" Kaoru replied.
Momoko thought for a moment "I'm going to call mine Athena."
"Those are fine names. What are your cats called?" Bill asked intrigued by them.
"Mines called Luna and Takaaki's is named Artemis" Miyako told him.
"Very appropriate names with their birth marks. Now let's get you four your first wands, then we can meet the others at Flourish and Blotts" Mrs. Weasley said leading them to a shop that looked very shabby. The name over the door read 'Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C.'.
As they walked in an old man walked out from behind a very tall pile of thin boxes. "Hello, how may I help you?" he asked them.
Mrs. Weasley spoke up "We're here to get these four their first wands."
"Hmm… You four are very special and going to help our world very much I think," he said startling them all.
Mrs. Weasley was sputtering trying to think of something.
Ollivander then said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Now let me think, yes I know the perfect wands for you four" he said as he turned and went into the back.
When he came back he was holding four very old and dusty boxes each a different color. They were red, blue, green, and yellow. He then handed them each one of the boxes, the girls getting the box that matched the color of their clothing, while Takaaki was handed the yellow one. When they took the wands out of the boxes Ollivander said "Give them a flick."
They all did and were amazed when sparks flew out of each wand.
"Very nice, just as I expected. Those four wands were commissioned and paid for about 2,000 years ago by four very influential sorceresses" he told them.
Bill asked him "Those wouldn't happen to be Lina Inverse, Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun, Sylphiel Nels Lahda, and Filia Ul Copt?"
"Why yes, sir, they were. In fact these four wands are the only one's in the shop that don't have a standard core on the inside. Each one has a few strands of the ladies hair for the core that commissioned it. Let's see that one is six and a half inches, Redwood, firm, and has the hair of Lina Inverse," he said pointing at Kaoru's. "That one is eight inches, Birch, swishy, and has the hair of Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun" now pointing at Momoko's. "That one is nine and a half inches, Willow, flexible, and has the hair of Sylphiel Nels Lahda" pointing at Miyako's. "And that one is seven inches, Mahogany, pliable, and has the hair of Filia Ul Copt" pointing at Takaaki's wand last.
Bill laughed "Mr. Ollivander, would it surprise you to know that these four are the descendents of those four women and that you handed them the wand holding their ancestors hair in it."
Ollivander looked at them a little surprised, he then gave them a big smile and started to laugh. When he finally stopped they told him thank you before they left for their last stop.
When they got to Flourish and Blotts, they found the rest of the Weasleys waiting for them. Mr. Weasley had gathered all of the books they needed to buy. Takaaki and the girls got brand new books while the Weasley children got used ones.
After they had bought all of their books and walked outside Miyako asked, "Mr. Weasley why did you buy everything used?"
All of the Weasleys stopped, then Mrs. Weasley turned and said "Miyako, dear, we're not as well off as a lot of other wizarding families. In fact a few of them look down on us because of it, but that's enough for now. We need to get home."
This statement took Miyako and the others aback. Kaoru even began to say that if the Weasleys wanted to they could have some of her money. When the other three said that they would also be willing to give up some of their money, Mrs. Weasley began to cry and hug each of them saying that they didn't need to do that, because they would be fine.
Bill told them that it was nice to meet them all, but he had to get back to work. He waved good-bye as he walked back towards Gringotts.
When they had gotten back to the Leaky Cauldron they went strait to the fireplace. As everyone was going through Kaoru looked down and noticed her shoe was untied. She told Mr. Weasley that she would use the Floo Powder in a second, but she needed to tie her shoe first. He nodded leaving her as the last one to enter. When she stood up and picked up her packages, she noticed a huge man walk into the Leaky Cauldron followed by a boy about eleven with messy black hair and wearing glasses. She then stepped into the fireplace and was back at the burrow.
A/N: Can you guess who just showed up before Kaoru left?
Please leave me some reviews.
