"What, what was that?" Kagome asked as she sat up from her reclined position between the two brothers. She was confused. Did he just pull out a stick from his pocket and… and food appeared. She could see the confusion on the twin's faces.

"What was what? Did you not want these sandwiches? Should I get something else for you to eat?" George asked as he too sat up. He had thought that she would want the same thing she had last time.

"No… the sandwiches are fine. What is it that you just did?"

"I got us some sandwiches and tea." Looking highly confused he looked to Fred to see if he knew what she was talking about. He looked at the tray and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Kagome started to wave her hand around. "That. Is that a wand? Did you just use a wand to make food?"

"No." George said.

"No? You didn't just use a wand that is what it's called right?" Fred tried to speak but Kagome started to wave her hand and it was in front of Fred's face causing him to stop what he was going to say before he could say it.

"You made the food? That's what you did?"

"I didn't make the food. It was already made."

"What?" Kagome started to get up. She pushed the table away from in front of her so that she wouldn't stumble trying to get around the guy's legs.

"I'm really confused. How did that happen? Wait." Kagome threw up her hand. "I got it. This is a joke shop and you have magic tricks, you must be a magician. Am I right?" Turning to Fred she asked. "Are you a magician too?" Her eyes were wide with awe. She was looking at George's hand. Stepping back around Fred's legs she sat back in her seat. Shyly glancing at his hand, she looked up with puppy dog eyes and asked. "Can I hold your wand?"

Fred and George looked at each other over her head. They were so confused. What was she talking about? And why would she ask if they were magicians.

"Kagome. I don't know if you want to hold my wand. It might not work for you the right way. Where is your wand?"

Gently holding onto George's wand she looked it over carefully. It didn't look like wands that magicians used for their shows. It was a piece of wood. Probably a piece of a branch from a tree. She could feel something from it though. A sense of something otherworldly. When George asked her where her wand was she looked up at him questioningly.

"My wand? I don't have one. I can't perform magical tricks. Can I ask how you do it? Is the wand to help with the illusion? But I don't understand how you got the food to appear. You didn't make it. It already existed. Was it under the table?" She started to bend over to look when Fred stopped her.

"Kitten, what are you talking about? You didn't bring it? Is it in Japan? How can you travel without it? I definitely have mine on me all the time."

"You carry yours around all the time?" When Fred nodded she smiled. "That's awesome! So you perform all the time? I guess it's a good thing to keep up with it. You won't get rusty that way."

"Well you can't really do much without your wand. How come you don't have one? I thought everyone got one when they are 12." George said.

"Do they do things differently in Japan? Although I don't know how you perform spells without it. Is schooling in Japan done that differently than they do here?" Fred continued the questions. He started to pour the tea for the three of them. He figured it was better to perform that function while he contemplated this new puzzle. Japanese people do magic without wands. Or they got their wands later in life. He couldn't even fathom living without one. It wasn't easy to do anything without it.

"At 12? Does everyone learn magic in school?" Fred nodded as he handed a cup of tea to Kagome. Nodding her head in thanks she continued to ask. "I never hear of magic as a subject in school. They really do things differently in England. Do you guys learn all throughout your education?" George nodded then. "We don't learn magic as a subject."

"Well then how do you perform your spells?"

"Spells?" Kagome asked after she blew on her tea. She had set her spoon down when he mentioned spells. "You do spells?"

"How are you able to perform magic without learning the spells you need? Do you call it something else in Japan?"

"I don't know. I've never performed a magic trick in my life. I don't know of anyone I went to school with who was a magician."

"Why do you keep saying magician? Isn't that a muggle term? Do they call wizards and witches magicians in Japan?"

When Fred mentioned witches and wizards Kagome stopped looking at George's wand. Questions were floating through her eyes with those words.

"Witches and wizards?"

"Yeah. That's what we call people who perform magic here."

"Hmmm. That's pretty interesting. What is a muggle?"

"A muggle? Well, that's someone who can't perform magic. It's what we call non magical people."

"I guess that makes me a muggle then." She laughed sheepishly. "I don't think I could do a spell if I tried. It must take a lot of training to do your… what do you call them again? Spells?" Looking at Fred she saw him nod in response. Reaching for a sandwich she said, "I wasn't able to go to school all the time. I probably wouldn't have been able to focus on that aspect of school."

"You weren't in school all the time? What kept you away?" Fred asked as he reached for a sandwich as well. How can you not be in school all the time? Did they have a different type of school year?

"Did they not have school all year?"

"We do just about. We have summer break and winter break."

They do the same as us then. I wonder what is different. George thought as he too ate a sandwich and then reached for another. Not looking he felt fingers brush across his. He looked down and saw that Kagome had reached for the same one. She started to blush as she pulled her hand away. George smirked as he snatched up the sandwich. Kagome noticed her mistake. She started to reach for the sandwich and stopped when he instantly popped it in his mouth. "Too slow," he mouthed when she pouted.

Fred chuckled. She looks so cute when she pouts. "Do you want some more? How bout some of those little ones with the cucumbers? Mum likes them." He drew out his wand and flicked his wrist. Tiny white sandwiches appeared on the empty tray on the table.

Again Kagome looked in awe at the table. This time though she pushed Fred's legs away and looked under the table. When she didn't see anything she used her one hand to brace herself on the table and the other to wave under the table. She didn't feel anything that way either. Where does it come from? She wondered.

"Is the secret something I can learn? Can you share the trade secret? I promise I won't tell."

"Trade secret? Magician? Kagome you say such strange things. You speak like a muggle."

"Well, I did say I think I'm a muggle. I don't know any magic."

Fred stopped eating. He really looked at her then. It really sounded as if she didn't perform magic. But that couldn't be the case. She had to have performed something when she left the last time. What person could disappear into thin air without performing magic? It wasn't something he could do, or George for that matter. Looking back across the couch he could see that George was thinking the same thing.

"How were you able to apparate from the alley last time we saw you? "

"Apparate? What does that mean?"

"It means to travel without using Floo powder, a Portkey or broom."

"Floo Powder? Portkey? Broom? How do you travel with a broom? Do you mean fly on a broom? Isn't that something only witches do?" Kagome remembered Kagura and her feather. She was a witch too. Flying seem to be something witches did. "Are those terms something that only the English use? I don't think I remember ever hearing those words before.

Baffled the twins stopped what they were doing and focused on her. Was the vocabulary that different in her native country? Well of course it would be. It was a different country. They wouldn't use the same terms that they did.

"How do you travel when you go places then?"

"Well, I have been using the Tube to get around London when I'm not walking. I have taken a train a couple times to get to different parts of the country. I would have rented a car but I haven't gotten my license yet. I don't know if I will though. It's not necessary to have one in Japan."

"Cars? You guys use muggle transportation to get around?"

"There's that word again. It's going to take me awhile to get used to it. How else to you get around? Do you guys have your license? That must be handy if you travel around the country. Do you guys have a car? You know I haven't seen one on this street though. Is it only for foot traffic or do they close it off certain hours of the day?"

The guys started to laugh at that. It was funny that Kagome could talk about those things. But they stopped when they saw her tilt her head questioningly.

"You aren't joking?"

"Why would I be?"

They were slowly getting a feel for the situation. It didn't seem like Kagome knew what they were talking about. And not because they were using different words than what might be used in Japan. It was like she didn't really know. And she kept referring to herself as a muggle when they told her what it meant.

"Kagome, you do know that we are wizards right?"

"Yeah, you said you guys were wizards. That is what you call magicians in this country right?"

"No I mean real wizards. We have real magic and perform spells and such.'

Kagome nodded in response. She looked at Fred when he started to speak.

"We can fly on brooms and we can make things appear and disappear. Not like magicians. They only perform sleight of hand. Illusions. We use the real thing."

"I believe you. You guys are wizards."

George rubbed the back of his head. It was getting frustrating. She believed them but didn't. She wasn't grasping what they were truly telling her. He looked to Fred and nodded his head in agreement. Fred took his wand and pointed it at Kagome. With a few words he made her hair grow till it reached the floor. He snickered when he watched her eyes open to the widest they could go.

"You." Kagome reached for the long raven locks that brushed the floor. It was her hair for sure. Only longer. "You really can perform spells. I didn't know such things existed in this day and age."

Saying a few more words Fred made the spell reverse itself. Her hair reached mid back again. He looked at his brother, satisfied that she was getting it this time, the whole thing.

"This is a lot to take in. But so exciting. Do you get a lot of muggle traffic here?" When George shook his head, she nodded. "Then I must have stumbled upon this place. I am most fortunate that this happened. It must have been fate." Looking up she glanced from one brother and then to the other. "I must have been destined to find you." She smiled then. Such a bright smile that it lite up her face with such a glow the guys took in a breath.

Beautiful. And all ours. The guys thought as they watched her with such a satisfied smile. Reaching across the back of the couch, they wrapped their arms around her and pulled her to George while Fred scooted closer to the two. The atmosphere was cozy.

"Well, I think we should find out how you got here. There are several ways that witches and wizards enter Diagon Alley. There is only one way for muggles and that's through the Leaky Cauldron. Let's try your way and get to your lodgings and grab your things."

"Wait a second. Why are we going to get my stuff?"

"Why Kitten, I thought you heard us before. We are going to move you in to our flat. It would be easier for all of us if you were near. We want you to move into our home."

Kagome shook her head. She shook it vehemently. She couldn't move in with them. They were two, TWO single guys. They had a bachelor pad. And it was something her mother would strongly disapprove of. "I can't. It's not right."

"Kagome," George grabbed her hand and started rubbing slow circles on her wrist. It seemed to make her more palpable to their suggestions, not like what they were proposing was a suggestion. It was a fact. She was moving in. They couldn't let her slip through their fingers after they met her again. She had to stay. No if, ands, or buts.

"We can help you find your family faster this way. We won't have to trek half way across London to find you. You would have your own room. We have the space."

Fred jumped in then. "Yeah, we have a three bedroom. We can move our junk out for you. You would have space away from us." Not like we would let you spend too much time away from us. We need to get you completely immersed in our family so that you won't want to leave. "And with you living with us you don't have to get a job. That is the biggest reason you are looking right? To pay for your expenses while you are in London? This move will help you with that. You could concentrate on finding your family. The task that you are on will be the only thing you would have to focus on." As well as us, you won't be able to do anything without one of us with you. The thought of her around them twenty-four seven was something that sent warm fuzzy feelings through Fred. God, I am whipped. And she doesn't even know it.

"So let's get your things." George stood up from the table. He put his hand on the small of her back delighting in the feel of the warm emanating from there. He directed her around the table and towards the door leading back into the shop.

"Guys, hold up. I can't have you paying my expenses." Kagome was crumbling. She wanted to spend more time with them, this was the perfect opportunity. She just didn't want to be indebted to them. She had an independent streak a mile long and it would dig deep in that sense of independence to be that dependent on them. "Okay, I'll stay. But I'm going to get a job to help with expenses." The twins started to shake their heads but she stopped in her tracks to get their attention. "There is not debate on this. It's what it's going to be. I get a job to help out or I'm staying put." She looked to them. They looked at each other, going through their silent debate. When Fred sighed Kagome knew she won. Patting him on the arm she began to walk to the door again. "Well then, let's get to the place. I have been paying week to week and the week is almost up. I'm sure Mr. Smith won't be too put out with my leaving."

Heading out the door the guys took a deep satisfied breath. The first step in their plan to get Kagome to stay with them had been accomplished. It was great that she wasn't too startled to find out that they were wizards and could perform magic. It was a little surprising too. Not many muggles would be so nonchalant about the whole thing. It was one thing they were beginning to find out about her personality. She took things in stride.

George led the way. The puzzle of Kagome getting into Diagon Alley was going to be answered. A non-magical person having a special way of getting there was interesting. It was also interesting that she didn't seem to think anything of it. A mystery in a puzzle. Something both Fred and himself enjoyed. Yup, Kagome was perfect for them.
