Sorry for the long wait, but here's the next chapter! Hope you're not too angry with me...

THE CRAZY SCHOOL YEAR
CHAPTER 3
Shopping time!!!
Zero cracked an eye open.
"Ouch…" he groaned as he rubbed his sore head, standing up as he looked around.
The place he was in didn't really ring a bell. To make it short, the place was extremely dusty. And it looked like it was made up of wood or something…
Wait a second. What?
Were all the things in here (ex: chairs, tables, flight of stairs…) made of wood? This was completely confusing to him. Last time he checked, the whole GOA was either from plastic, metal, or synthetic materials….. And that GOA wasn't even supposed to have freaky and ugly looking people staring at you barely half a foot away!
"GUAHAH!" he screamed out of fright, confusion and awkwardness
(Since he wasn't really someone who could keep calm when confused). "
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!??! AND WHERE THE HELL AM I!!?!"
(Silver candle: Well, here's my first comment. There's the fourth crossover. Am I the only one who thinks that having so many crossovers are fun? 'Cause I might do one some day…anyway, on with the chapter!)
-
The next morning, 6.30 am,
Everyone was either tired from what happened yesterday or just didn't get enough sleep, Momo decided.
'Because everyone keeps avoiding their room mates! I mean, what the hell happened? Yesterday, everyone was so happy with their rooms and today, each and every one of them is practically avoiding each other!' Momo thought miserably. (Ryoma had completely avoided him)
Looking around, he saw that Ed was talking to Tezuka and Oishi and pointedly avoiding Roy, while Tezuka is avoiding Fuji and vice versa (this applies to everyone else too). Fuji and Inui were talking about something over by the fire, joined by Kikumaru and Ryoma, Kaidoh was somewhere in the inn doing something Momo didn't care to know, and Taka was playing cards with him.
If that wasn't enough, they have to go shopping today. SHOPPING! Even if it is shopping for school stuff…but still, it's shopping! Shopping was not his cup of tea! Going shopping alone is much preferable, but they just had to agree on shopping together.
Momo was then interrupted from his train of thoughts by Taka.
"It's your turn!" he said.
Momo replied with a grunt and put his card on the table. A Queen of Hearts. He won! Well, at least he can kick people's butt in card games. He grinned and held out his hand to claim his prize from Taka, who paled at having just lost 30 yen.

12:00 midday, Diagon Alley,
"Alright then! Lets get going!" one of their guides called to them.
Collectives of 'yeah' and 'sure' greeted the guides. Dumbledore had forgotten to mention one little detail about their guides to our heroes. And that was… it turned out that they were the ones Roy and
Ed had been told to keep an eye on!
'Wonder why he told them to be our guide… is that old man crazy?' the group of 11 foreigners thought.
-
-In Hogwarts Castle-
Someone sneezed 11 times in a row while he was drinking tea. (A sneeze for each person/laughs/)
"Someone's talking about me…"
-
-Back at Diagon Alley-
"Ok, so first we need to buy robes, quills, wands," Roy listed off the items one by one, "cauldrons, potion kits, brooms…?" He lifted a curious eyebrow at Harry, their first guide.
"That's optional. It's up to you if you want to have one or not.
See? It's stated in the list," Harry replied with a smile.
"… Alright, then, we need books," he continued, "…and dress robes?" This time, he lifted both eyebrows in confusion and turned to all their guides.
"Oh?" all three of the guides exclaimed together. The two males turned to the girl, as if they were hoping for an explanation.
"What are you looking at me for? How should I know? Let me see that!" She snatched the lists from Roy and scanned the pages. Barely a minute later, she emerged from her reading and faced the hopeful faces of the guys. "It's mandatory," she said. "It says so on Professor Mustang's list of things to buy."
"What are 'dress robes' actually?" Momo suddenly piped up.
Everyone turned to face him.
'Good question…' they all thought. Sweat drops emerged from the heads of the people who knew exactly what a dress robe is (Ron, Harry & Hermione).
The golden trio took pity on them and informed them that dress robes were used for formal occasions, like tuxedos and regular dresses. At the mention of formal wear, Ed decided to…decline.
"NO WAY! THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I'M WEARING ANYTHING FORMAL! AND
THAT MEANS ANYTHING!" he stated – ahem – bellowed.
"Don't be ridiculous, Edward, you have to," Roy said with that annoying It's-an-order-or-face-the-wrath-of-martial-court smile.
Laughing nervously, Ed nodded shakily and turned to ask Harry about the possible choices of dress robes they had. Roy smiled sadistically and chuckled darkly to himself.
Every witness present took a step back, sweat dropping. 'Scary…'
-
Later, around 1.00 afternoon,
After an extreme amount of arguing, they all managed to agree on splitting up and agreed to meet at Olliavander's wand shop. The groups are as follows:
Harry's group
Eiji
Taka
Oishi
Ron's group
Tezuka
Ryoma
Roy
Ed
Hermione's group
Inui
Kaidoh
Momo
Fuji
Harry's group was going to get the stationary and the brooms, Ron's group would buy the text books, and Hermione's group would buy cauldrons, potion kits and pets.
-
Ron's group
Ron chatted noisily along the way to Flourish and Blots. However, he seemed to be talking to himself since…
1. Ryoma ignored practically everyone except Tezuka.
2. Ed was more interested in how magic works.
3. Tezuka kept a straight face the entire time.
4. Roy was too busy keeping an eye on Ed so he wouldn't start pouncing on every thing and every one to find out more about magic and how it worked.
Sighing, Ron kept on walking and ignoring the stares the pedestrian were giving them for Ed was being dragged by the collar by Roy. The reason? Ed had lunged headfirst at a man who looked like his brother,
Alphonse. Besides, the four (excluding Ron) were pretty popular with the ladies. Judging from the swooning girls… he may be right…
"(Sigh) come on, let's go guys…" Ron said. The others just continued to follow him.
-
Harry's group
Harry wasn't doing any much better than Ron. Ron's problem was that nobody was listening to him. As for Harry, his problem was that he didn't want to listen to the hyper redhead behind him talked constantly almost nonstop.
"Nee, Harry, how old are you?" he asked.
"I'm 17," Harry replied.
"Nee, nee, Oishi! He's in the same year as O'chibi (Ed)!" Eiji
jumped a foot into the air with excitement and wrapped his arms around Oishi and Harry's neck when he landed.
"Argh!" both of the prisoners-by-throat shouted in surprise.
"Err... can you… let go…can't…breathe…" Harry forced the words out of his mouth. He was being suffocated by someone he barely knew! And who's 'O'chibi'?
"Oh? Ahh! Gomen! Gomen!" Eiji let go of them. Oddly, Oishi was very quiet…
"Ah! Oishi fainted!" Eiji exclaimed. Apparently Oishi had fainted from lack of oxygen.
Taka, who had remained out of every conversation so far only watched. Harry wondered why he had accepted the offer of being a guide for the transfer students…
-
Hermione's group
Hermione didn't have much luck with her group either. She'd rather be with Ed…but Ron seemed to have read her mind and asked Ed to be in his group before she had a chance… sometimes she wondered if Ron did that sort of thing on purpose…
That guy, his name is Inui right? Hermione had a bad feeling about him. The fact that he sometimes cackles while writing something down in his notebook really gave her the creeps. Fuji didn't help at all. His ever smiling face was sweet, but if you stare long enough… it was just plain creepy.
And then there was Momoshiro and Kaidoh. From the moment they all stepped outside the Leaky Cauldron, they've been fighting. It had gone something like this…
"You know what, mamushi? If you couldn't beat me in tennis, can you possibly beat me in this… Quidditch thing?" Momo started.
"Fsh….. Mind your own business, peach butt," came Kaidoh's sarcastic reply.
"What the hell did you just say!?!"
"I said to mind your own business, BAKA!"
"Why I oughta…"
"Bring it on, peach butt!"
"As you wish, mamushi!!"
… And they began fighting. Did I say they were using their fists? Beautiful friendship they have with each other, don't they? Hermione had tried to stop them, but to no avail.
To be frank, they've been fighting for half an hour.
Hermione regretted ever saying yes when Harry asked her to help with being guides to the new students… she could tell by now that she would only have a huge headache by the end of the day for her troubles…
