Chapter 4 Of Giants and Cauldrons
The two girls could only stare. They knew it's rude but never have they expected something like this to happen to them. They believed their eyes were deceiving them for right in front of them stood a GIGANTIC man with beady black eyes and a bushy black beard.
"Err… Excuse me missus," he said, "but do you by any chance know a Sakura Kinomoto and Kazusa Ic – Ich – Ichi – "
"Ichinose. That would be us." Kazusa said.
"Oh good. I was told to meet you two here. Now who's who?"
"I'm Kazusa. Nice to meet you." Kazusa said bowing slightly. She had a heart lilting sing-song voice and she spoke wih a British accent.
"Sakura desu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu." Sakura said bowing (Trans: I'll be in your care; or something along those lines)
"What are you two bowing for now?" The man asked confused.
"It's sort of a custom or maybe tradition to bow when you first make acquaintance with someone." Kazusa explained.
"What is your name?" Sakura asked. Her voice was kind and gentle and she spoke with a gentle rolling accent, which surprised the man immensely. The two girls were both Japanese but the different accents were a bit hard to take in.
Still a bit stunned he said, "I'm Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds of Hogwarts. I'm here to help you with your shopping."
Kazusa's eyes widened and all of her politeness seemed to have grown wings and flown away, "Really? We get to go shopping with a giant? You are a giant aren't you? This is so exciting! But what about our luggage, Mr. Hagrid?"
"Hagrid looked at their luggage and saw two seemingly normal luggage bags. He picked them up, and boy were they heavy. He beckoned the two girls to follow him, and that's exactly what they did.
On the way to their destination Hagrid summed the girls up, Sakura seemed like a sweet gentle person you could easily trust. Her huge green eyes showed kindness and happiness, she also had quite nice manners Kazusa on the other hand seemed to be polite only when she wanted to and Hagrid would bet his hut that it wasn't often, she also seemed a bit too active for her own good. Her light green eyes were alight with happiness and mischief. All in all they seem quite nice and trustworthy.
'Someone needs to tell her to wear her hair down.' Hagrid thought looking at the two buns lying innocently on top of Kazusa's hair.
"Where are we going to shop Mr. Hagrid?" Kazusa asked.
"Just follow and you'll see." Hagrid said. He brought them in what seemed to the girls like circles, until they reached two huge buildings. They were extremely eye-catching, however the girls let they're eyes wander to what looked like a small pub named 'Leaky Cauldron' squeezed right in the middle of the two buildings. It felt strongly of magic and the girls closed they're eyes to let the magic engulf them. The magic had a warm and gentle feel to it. The kind of magic the girls someday wish to posses.
"Is that the place?" Kazusa asked Hagrid pointing to directly to the Leaky Cauldron.
Hagrid could only nod. He was stunned. This is the first time anyone had ever spotted the Leaky Cauldron if he didn't point it out to them.
"No." Hagrid said looking suspiciosly at the two girls who had put on innocent faces, "That's just the passageway."
Hagrid led them into the pub and they were amazed. The amount of magic in this one pub could rival the magic in Japan itself, and the girls knew for a fact a lot of Japanese were magical.
Lots of wizards were there all wearing robes of every shape and colour. There was a middle aged witch wearing puke green robes and a spidery teal hat which had real spiders crawling all over the hat making webs. Another wizard was wearind neon pink robes and hat. A witch with blue robes and a hat which just so happens to be a nest was eating lunch and the girls even witnessed a really old witch cosplaying as Sailor Moon!
The girls couldn't help it they both mentally calculated which who was the weirdest kind of people to ever walk the surface of the world since the beginning of time. Only one thing... err... person stood in the wizards way to catch the spotlight, and his name is Kaito Kid (Detective Conan)
"Ah. Hagrid. The usual I presume?" the barkeeper said.
"Sorry Tom. I'm on official Hogwarts business. Got two new Japanese students entering this year." Hagrid said patting Kazusa's back so hard it almost broke!
"Hurry along the. School starts tomorrow don't you know?" Tom said.
"Of course we know. But first put these bags in a room for tonight. Come on then kids." Hagrid said.
Hagrid ushered the two girls to the back of the pub and tapped a brick with his hideously pink umbrella. In three seconds flat the bricks folded up and revealed a whole alley of wizarding shops.
"Oh! That's right!" Kazusa exclaimed. She pulled out a video camera and said, "Tomoyo-chan would love this footage of Sakura-chan going shopping for the first time."
Sakura immediately fell down in shock and Hagrid, who also looked shocked said, "Isn't that a muggle item? How'd it work here?"
"Dad enchanted it for me." Kazusa answered breezily. "Now to go shopping in wizard shops we need some wizard money. Where can we get some Mr. Hagrid?"
"Gringotts Bank." Hagrid said, pointing. "Safest place in the wizarding world. Well, other than Hogwarts of course."
"Is that a goblin?" Kazusa asked. "If goblins exist. Surely unicorns exist too. Do they?"
"Yes. They do exist."
"Do the fairies and elves in muggle stories exist too?" Sakura asked.
"They exist." Hagrid said. "But the muggle descriptions are all wrong."
"Oh." The grils chorused, as they stopped in front of the goblin.
"We're here to take some money." Hagrid said.
"Do you have a key?" The goblin asked staring them down.
"Dad gave me mine." Kazusa said, rummaging her bag. "Here it is." She said triumphantly.
"Did your father go to Hogwarts by any chance?"Hagrid asked.
"Nope. Dad's American." Kazusa said taking back her key which the goblin finished checking.
"Griphook!" The goblin called. "Vault 1496."
"The Hogwarts Charity key hasn't been inspected yet!" Hagrid said.
"I can give Sakura-chan can an allowance and I'll buy her books for her." Kazusa said already following Griphook.
"You can't do that Kazusa-chan. Your family already paid the plane tickets for me..."
"Otou-san said its best I buy you the books. I'm just doing what he told me to." Kazusa said, "Now let's go! Let's go! Let's go go!"
Despite Kazusa's cheeriness at entering the cart, Hagrid cringed. He hated these carts. Nevertheless he was on duty for Dumbledore so he went in anyway. When the cart started to move Hagrid started to look a bit green, but the girls shrieked in pleasure.
"!"
"Mr. Hagrid you never told us the ride to the vaults was this fun!" Kazusa managed to yell.
"What part of this is fun? Got a barf bag anyone?" Hagrid asked weakly.
"Here you go!" Kazusa said pulling a barf bag out of nowhere. "WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
They went down deeper, and deeper and deeper and Hagrids face became greener, and greener and greener. At last to Hagrid's relief and the girls' utter disappointment, the cart stopped.
"Light." Griphook said briskly.
"Here you go." Sakura said.
"Key"
"Right here." Kazusa said.
Griphook turned the key and the doors of the vault opened to reveal a vault piled top to bottom with gold, silver and bronze coins, lots of different jewels and what seemed to be priceless artifacts (sp?). Kazusa seemed a bit stunned but she did not waste her time gaping and instead hastily grabbed two handfuls of coins and stuffing them in her silver and blue wallet.
Hagrid launched into a speech about the types of coins and their currency.
"Now, to go back." Griphook said. This statement received groans from Hagrid and cheers from the girls'.
After another long roller coaster cart ride, they were back to the outer parrts of the bank.
"Can we go buy our books first?" Kazusa asked.
Hagrid said yes and ushered them into Flourish and Botts. "Go to Madam Malkin's after this. I need to buy some slug repellant."
"See you later." The girls chorused.
They went into the shop and stared. "Next year we're buying books earlier." Sakura said, breaking the silence and Kazusa nodded.
In logic's eyes, the girls have made the right choice. The shop was packed with people. The girls didn't know the cause because by some great miracle they missed the HUGE banner outside the shop. The girls tried pushing they're way through the crowd, trying they're best to get to the books. Suddenly a man simlar to the ones inside multiple pictures around the shop appeared. He sat down on a table and the people crowded around him. Joy!
"It should be easier this way. Nee?" Sakura said.
"I'm afraid it's going to get harder." Kazusa said.
"Why?"
"Because those, are our school books." Kazusa said dramatically pointing towards the books surrounding the crowd.
"HOEEEEEEEEEE!"
"Let's just split the books we're buying so it will be easier." Kazusa said. Sakura agrees and they broke the list in half (not literally).
"Remember," Kazusa reminded, "take two of everything."
The two wandered deeper into the crowded shop. Sakura was to take the first year books and Kazusa was gathering the second year books and get turned into Panini in the process.
Just as Kazusa was going to take two of 'Year with the Yeti', a yell came, "My goodness, such green eyes, you must be Harry Potter's cousin."
Slowly Kazusa turned around and after laying her eyes on this 'Harry Potters cousin', her eyes widened. What is that baka wizard doing with Sakura?
After dumping two 'Year with the Yeti's' in her cauldron, with her camera in hand, she walked over to THE baka wizard and said, "Excuse me mister, but can you please let my friend go? We're from Japan and we aren't quite used to Britain and the Wizarding World yet. May I ask? Is pulling someon with the same eye colour as someone you know and calling them his cousin a custom here?" To Sakura it was obvious that Kazusa was being sarcastic with a very polite and curious tone, she is the Ichinose Kazusa who lied to the principal in front of the whole school, for herself and the cardcaptors crew, by saying that they were late coming to the assembly because a cat got into an accident and 'we just had to save it, who could let the poor thing get hit by a car like that?' when in truth they were capturing the TRANSFORM, or in Kazusa's case the SHIFT which could transform humans into objects or animals or vice versa.
In Kazusa's experience most people would melt and answer the question immediately with kindness after seeing her curious and large innocent eyes. The baka wizard however said, "Of course not! Anyway you don't sound foreign and that is proof enough that you are British. Now go."
A vein popped on Kazusa's temple and after handing her camera to Sakura she yelled, "YOU BAKA! CAN'T YOU SEE SHE'S TERRIFIED! JUST BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A JAPANESE ACCENT DOESN'T MEAN I'M BRITISH! BAKA RACIST! LET GO OF SAKURA-CHAN THIS INSTANT! YOU BAKA!"
Kazusa was so angry that she hit the table really, really hard that a fist sized hole appeared where she hit it. Sakura, who has been video taping her all this time, brought her hand to her cheek and in Japanese with an amazingly perfect mimic of Tomoyo's voice she said, "Suteki! To be able to video tape the usually lenient ang gentle Kazusa-chan creating a hole in a table… Tomoyo-chan will be so happy."
"I thought so!" Kazusa exclaimed, "Anyone who knows Tomoyo-chan can act like her. Now then, seeing as we have our books. Let's go pay for them and go get our robes."
"Hai." Sakura said. When they were just halfway to the cashier the baka wizard (the girls didn't bother to check his name although it was literally flashing on a poster right in front of their eyes) called them, "Pardon me for saying all those things, it was a misunderstanding, really." he said loudly, flashing a toothy grin, "As a sign of apology I'll give you a set of my autobiography each, autographed and free. I'll also give you the standard book of spells, Grade 1."
"What do you think?" Kazusa asked.
"Mei Ling-chan might like to have The Standard Book of Spells," Sakura started.
"Break with a Banshee could be Syaoran-kun's sister's wedding gift." Kazusa continued.
"I'll give her Holidays with Hags then,"
"Naoko-chan would love Gaddling with Ghouls. Bet'cha she'll think it is a mugle fantasy which has nothing to do with the real world Magic or otherwise. "
"We could wrap Voyages with Vampires and give it to Syaoran-kun. If he hates it he can give it to one of his four sisters. Wandering with Werewolves is thick and it could be interesting. Tomoyo-chan might just like it."
"I'll give the other two to my family. Dad loves reading about magic since he started raising us kids as muggles."
"And the other set…" Kazusa started.
"I know just what to do with them…" Sakura continued.
"Let's dump them into Eriol-kun's library, it's so ancient and dusty that he won't notice it unless Suppi-chan/Spinel-san decides to read it." The two girls finished.
"You mean, you're just going to give my books to other people?" THE baka wizard said dumb-founded.
"Yup~" the girls chorused.
"That way I didn't become a panini for nothing." Kazusa said voicing out her opinion on the poor people trying to get their school books.
"AAH!"Sakura shrieked pointing at her watch, "Kazusa-chan we spent an hour in here!"
"EEEEH! We have to go go go! We're supposed to be in Madam Malkin's by now!" Kazusa said in a panic, taking Sakura's hand and rushing Sakura to the cashier and quickly paying for their books before dragging Sakura, literally, to Madam Malkin's. On the way they passed Hagrid, a family of redheads, a raven haired boy with emerald eyes just a shade darker then Sakura's and a bushy haired girl with who appeared to be her father and little brother. (in this fic her mother is deceased)
"Hi Mr. Hagrid. Bye Mr. Hagrid. We're off to get our robes now." Kazusa said.
"Tasukete~" Sakura said as Kazusa pulled her arm to get them quickly to Madam Malkin's.
"Who are they Hagrid?" Harry asked, his eyes showing confusion mixed with amusement.
"New students. Mind you now the one with buns is a bit strange at times, the other one is really sweet though." Answered Hagrid.
In Madam Malkin's, Kazusa was doing a wonderful job at making Madam Malkin mad without even trying though, Sakura still held the video camera from the book shop and she filmed every second of what is now known as the Malkin Chaos. Inserted here is a preview of what happened, if you want the whole video call Sakura or Tomoyo please.
"Madam Malkin the tape is winding itself around my ears."
"Madam Malkin these robes are too tight. Not only do I think this isn't appropriate, I can't breathe as well."
"Madam Malkin these robes are too big. I believe I look like a dwarf in giants clothing."
"Madam Malkin if this tape winds itself round my head again my measurements would be as big as 1 999 999cm"
"Madam Malkin do you need help to clean up these pieces of fabric? I mean they're lying here on the ground and all." "NOO! A very important customer wants those-" *SMACK* "Oops-a-daisy."
"Madam Malkin are you still alive? Come on the fabric couldn't have hurt that much."
As soon as they're robes were done they were literally thrown out of the shop. Good thing Madam Malkin didn't yell, "AND STAY OUT!" This means they can come back next year. YAAY!
"Now what did you do?" Hagrid asked asking Kazusa more than Sakura, I mean who can blame Sakura, the sweet angel when there's Kazusa, devil-in-disguise. I know unfair common sense.
"I just wanted to help." Kazusa said with as much innocence as she could muster, and that's a lot, but Hagrid wasn't fooled, no one could be that innocent.
"Do you need anything else?" Hagrid asked.
"A wand and a pewter cauldron and some other strange things." Sakura answered.
"You'll get those at the apothecary. The wands will be found at Ollivander's over there and I need to do get more slug repellent. I was sidetracked back then."
"OK," said Kazusa, "Have a safe trip."
The girls walked to the apothecary and bought everything they needed before going to Ollivander's. They gasped as soon as they arrived there. The magic in this shop! It was as if it was trying to rival Hong Kong's magic, and Kero said that Hong Kong was filled with magic.
"Hello?" called Sakura.
"Ah. I've been waiting for you two," said an old man with white hair, he looked closely at Kazusa, "you must be Ms. Katsumi's daughter," his gaze fell on Sakura and in particular her emerald orbs, "and you must be Ms. Nadeshiko's daughter, you must be you have her eyes they were just a shade lighter than Ms. Lily's. those three they were great witches who were worthy of they're wands."
The girls looked at each other. Witches? How did he know? No one was supposed to know. Well… There's only one thing left to do now, that is…
End chap
Kazusa: How does he know my mother?
Sakura: How does he know mine?
Hoshi: You'll find out in the next chappie.
Everyone: That's all folks~
