"Why Professor Dumbledor asked us to show these guys around is beyond me," said Ron while sitting in the summer sunlight in Daigon Alley.
With him were his sister Ginny, and best friends Hermione Granger, Rose and Draco Black and Alex Potter. Rose; who today had her short hair in a most unusual style, a small braid on the left side of her face with the rest unbound, tried to say something but forgot that she was enjoying an ice cream cone from Florean Fortescue's ice cream pallor and sounded rather funny.
Alex chuckled at his God-sister's antics which earned him a bop on the head.
"Rose, I suggest talking with your tongue in your mouth," said Hermione who was having sundae from the same shop.
"What I said was, I guess that it's because he trusts us more then anyone else in the student body," Rose responded before taking a big bite of ice cream, "ACK! BRAIN FREEZE!"
The poor girl massaged her forehead as Draco and Alex sighed. They both loved and cared for Rose very much but sometimes she was so weird.
"Look! Here comes the Professor!" said Ginny pointing ahead.
"Blimey, how did those guys get their hair those colors?" asked Ron.
"Ron!" scolded Hermione.
By this time the new arrivals were within hearing distance.
"Who do you think he was talking about?" Arystar asked Lavi.
"Beats me," replied the redhead.
"Ah, now that we are all together it is time for some introductions," said Dumbledor as he turned to his students, "These people are members of the Black Order so remember to treat them with respect."
Rose smirked as she pushed her God-brother up.
"Uh...," he said, glaring at Rose for a moment, "My name's Alexander Potter, call me Alex."
"I'm Rose Togi Black, nice to meet you."
"Draco Black...Rose's adopted brother."
"Hermione Granger."
"Ron Weasley."
"I'm Ron's little sister; Ginny."
"The name's Tyki Miki."
"Rhode Kamolot."
"Lenali Lee."
"I'm Miranda Lotto, it's a pleasure to meet you all."
"I am Arystar Krowly III."
"Lavi."
"Don't you have a last name?" asked Ginny.
"No."
"Che...Kanda Yu," said Kanda.
"Huh? What kinda first name is Kanda?" asked Ron.
"That's his family name, Ron, he's Japanese," said Rose, "How many times do I have to tell you Japanese people usually say their family name first then their given name."
"Allen Walker," said the white haired boy, his eyes locking with Alex's.
Both boys felt something in that moment, something that said that they had meet before. Allen felt something similar with Rose and vice verse but not as strong.
"Hey, what up with you guys?" asked Draco waving his hand infront of his sister's face.
"Sorry!" all three said at the same time.
"We should get started on getting their supplies. So what's first?" asked Hermione.
"Not books. We need a leash before we take the baka usagi into a book store," said Kanda.
"Hey!" protested Lavi, "I'm not that bad."
"He has a point Lavi, you are a bookman," said Allen.
"Rose, what is a baka usagi?" Ginny said turning to the half Japanese witch.
"Stupid Rabbit, is what he said," replied Rose.
The first stop was Olivander's. Kanda's wand was made of Japanese maple with the scales of a Kappa, Lavi's was olive and unicorn hair, Arystar had oddly enough a yew wand with the fang of a very powerful vampire, this caused Allen and Lavi to schooch away from him, memories of when they had been bitten by the elder still fresh in their minds. Miranda worked best with a weeping willow wand containg a feather and hair of a flying horse, although she had panicked when she broke the window with a different wand. Tyki's was cherry with a dragon heart-string, Rhode got one that was made of apple wood and the feather of an Avery. But Allen took the longest.
"Interesting... very interesting. Mr. Walker did you know that it is very rare for any two wand to hold cores from the same magical creature," said Olivander as he reached for another wand.
"No sir," replied the white haired boy.
"Then I guess you didn't know that it has never before been recorded of three wands sharing cores from the same magical creature...Until now. Holly and Phoenix Feather, many have tried it but none fit, perhaps you will," said the older man.
Allen took the wand and waved it, black, gold, sliver and scarlet sparks flew out of the tip.
"Very interesting, Mr Potter, Mr Walker, do you realize that you two have brother wands, in other words wand that share cores?" said Olivander.
"Huh? But I thought that my wand only shared a core with Voldimort's?" said Alex looking applogetic as Ron and Ginny flinched.
Rose had never been afraid of his name while Draco and Hermione had long since conquered that fear, Ron and his little sister were still working on it.
"Yes, but a few years ago I received another feather from that Phoenix to make into a wand. This is something that has never happened before and may never happen again."
After paying for the wands, they left, each in their own thoughts, weither it was about romance, hoping not to drop their wand, about the strange sensation they felt when they met, and where their dad went.
"Oi! Rosy! Dra! Al! Ron! Hermione! Ginny!" called a certain dog animagus waving at the group.
"Poppa!" cheered Rose and Draco as Alex, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny said, "Sirius!"
As Allen stared at the black haired man he once again felt the spark of familiarity, about as strong as it was with Rose.
"I got everyones book, even those for Dumbledor's guests," said the elder Black also feeling the spark.
"Oh too bad, I wanted to see the Bunny on a leash," said Tyki in a rather seductive voice.
Lavi, knowing that the Noah ment him, hid behind Arystar who blinked at the sudden disappearance of his comrade. The wizards and witches seemed amused by the look on the vampric exorcist's face as he looked for Lavi.
