Starry Night Dreams
Chapter 3
Welcome to Diagon Alley.

Hagrid walked into the Leaky Cauldron and walked over to the counter to talk to the innkeeper. " G' mornin , Tom . I ' m here on Hogwarts business , to pick up some kids or summin , " Hagrid explained . Tom grinned , " A couple of strange children they are , multi coloured and long white hair . Never seen anything stranger , at least the girl looks normal enough . Anyway their rooms 21 , 22 , an' 23 . " Hagrid nodded , " Thanks , " he grunted.

/ Hey ! Good Morning Yami / Yugi exclaimed happily . He was excited to learn a little more about the strange wizard world. / Good Morning Aibou ...why are we up so early / Yami asked agitatedly . / C'mon Yami , don't be so lazy ! Let 's get something to eat / Yugi said trying to liven Yami up a bit . / Fine / he agreed half heartedly .

Hagrid walked up the wooden flight of stairs , each one creaking under his weight . He went up to room # 21 and opened the door . Unfortunately , it was the exact same time poor Yugi had tried opening the door . / Ouch ! How did a wall get there / Yugi thought , but when Yugi looked up he got an awful fright .

In front of him was a man , probably ten times , or even more larger than him . He was collossal . So Yugi did the first thing , he thought of . He screamed his head off / Yami ! Do something / Yugi urged frantically , but he was greeted by the sound of peaceful snores . / Grr... Yami ! Wake up / Yugi screamed .

( What 's that racket ? ) Ryou thought , while climbing out of his bed . Bakura smirked slyly (( It sounds like you, when your trying to sing . )) Ryou scowled , ( Very funny ! But it's coming from Yugi 's room ! I'm going to investigate . ) Bakura just nodded his head and replied , ( Whatever ...) before their mental link was shut off.

Serenity slowly rose from her bed , after Yugi's screams had brought her back from dreamland . She met Ryou in the corridor and both of them entered Yugi 's room together. Serenity gasped when she saw the sight of a disgruntled Hagrid trying to calm down a frightened Yugi who was screaming and holding a lamp threathningly in front of him for protection.

Ryou and Serenity stood their in awe before they decided to accompany Yugi in his screaming session . (Bakura help us ! ) begged Ryou . Bakura chuckled , (( I find this very amusing ! )) and continued his laughing, he knew that Hagrid was probably quite harmless.

Malik pulled his pillow over his head and complained , ' Damn ! What noisy neighbours ! ' before trying to settle back into his sleep he had been having a very nice dream , about a certain girl he thought was back in Japan .

" Um .. Please settle down , I won't hurt' cha , " Hagrid promised tryinh his best to make the three teens stop screaming . " Professor Dumbledore sent me to pick you up ! " Ryou finally nonticed that he must be telling the truth and asked shakily , " Your here to help us get our school things ? "

" Yep ! So why don't y'all three get ready an ' meet me downstairs ?" Hagrid inquired after they had finally settled down . They nodded their heads . " Great ! See ya in a minute then !"

Hagrid turned to exit the room . " Wait sir! " Serenity said, " Umm..we would like to apologise . We really are sorry for screaming like that..." she said.

Hagrid waved his hand carelessly , " It's nuttin ... I get the same reaction , each time ! " he grinned . Serenity smiled , " Thank you for accepting our apology ! "

A few minutes later Yugi , Ryou and Serenity met downstairs in the lobby . " There you guys are . Took ya long enough ! C'mon , over here . " Hagrid led them into the backyard of the inn . " The firs ' thing I need to know are your names . " Hagrid said , " I'm Rubeus Hagrid , gamekeeper of Hogwarts . " / Gamekeeper / Yami said perking up with excitement and interest . / Not that sort of gamekeeper Yami / Yugi sighed . / Oh...I knew that . / Yugi rolled his eyes / Whatever Yami.../

" I'm Yugi Motou and these are my friends , Ryou Bakura and Serenity Katsuya . " Yugi introduced themselves. " Right , " Hagrid said , " Nice ta meet'cha ! Now , to get your things we're gonna have to go into Diagon Alley ! "

" Malik ! Hurry up ! I want to make an early start ! " Isis complained . Malik scowled , " What a pain she is ! " he murmured .

" I heard that ! " Isis warned . Malik sighed , " I'll be out in a sec! "

Hagrid pulled out a pink umbrella from one of his large pockets and tapped the bricks on the wall in the yard . To the trio ' s astonishment , the wall began to open until it revealed a large town of some sort . " Follow me . " Hagrid ordered , " Firs' stop , is Gringotts .

" Excuse me ! Sir ! " Isis said trying to get the bar tender's attention . " I need your help ! How do you get into that alley? " she asked impatiently. Having finally noticed Isis he turned to her , " No need to shout , right this way. " he walked into the small yard . There was nothing but a brick wall and a bin , so to put it bluntly the yard was very bare .

Tom tapped a few bricks with a wooden stick , and the wall opened slowly , to reveal a whole town. " Umm...Thank you , " Isis said in amazement. Malik just shrugged and walked through into the vast crowds. " Malik , wait ! "

Hagrid led them , Yugi , Ryou and Serenity up to the largest building . It was white and a had a weird , short looking creature in front of the large double doors. When they passed it Ryou asked Hagrid nervously , " What is that , Hagrid ? "

" Why , the're goblins , they run the bank . Take it very serious , they do." Ryou gulped and nodded .

(( They look stupid , if you ask me ! )) Bakura said insultively . ( But know one did ask you !) Ryou pointed out . Bakura growled. Serenity was extremely frightened of the goblins , she stuck to Yugi and Ryou like super glue!

" Right , let 's exchange some of your money ! "
