I was just so spurred on by the first chapter. I hate leaving things half done. Two chapters in one day! Don't expect this often. At most three a week. Some people say I type too fast. It annoys anyone in the general vicinity. Anyways, This is number two. NO ROMANCE.

Disclaimer: I own but nothing, thus I do not own Harry potter or +Anima, for if I did, I would own something, and therefore I would not own nothing, but two things at once, which is far more than none.

Remember, the plot bunnies favourite food is reviews, so if you don't, he dies of starvation.

Gringott

Hagrid looked over the group of four with his hands on his hips before talking. 'Well yuh'll all be goin' shopping wit' me, but firs' we'll be picking up another group o' students yer own age. Ron, 'Ermione an' 'Arry'll be coming to get their own books too, though you've probably 'eard of 'Arry.'

'Arry? Who's Arry?' asked Cooro, obviously confused.

'I think he means 'Harry,' Cooro,' Nana whispered to Cooro right before Husky hit him over the head with his staff.

'Ah,' said Cooro, rubbing his head.

After a while they came to a large run-down pub with a creaking wooden sign saying in large . It was very grubby and was made out of rather unconventional small stone blocks, with dusty red wooden boards making up the top third. The paint was scratched and worn, showing through quite a large portion of un-painted wood throughout numerous patches placed over various parts. All in all, it didn't look like a very welcoming place.

Nana looked at it uncertainly. 'Are we going in there?' whispered Nana.

'You can't judge a book by its cover,' said Cooro. 'Maybe it's a warm place with lots of fresh food and an all-you-can-eat buffet and a big dessert tray with lots of apple pies!' Cooro started drooling. The four followed Hagrid inside and, to their surprise, the inside was much nicer and well kept. It looked essentially like a bar. Over to the left was a well-lit counter, with a slightly pudgy man in an apron leaning on the counter chatting with a customer, who they assumed was the owner. A large sign was displayed over his head, articling the many different drinks and their prices.

A thin, strict looking woman with a pair of small glasses resting on her pointed nose walked over to them. 'Ah, Hagrid. I assume you'll be handling things from here?' she stated sharply.

'Yup. Mister Dumbledore says he needs you back o' Hogwarts. 'Afore school preparations,' said Hagrid.

The woman sighed and said 'The other three are over at the furthest left corner table. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some paperwork to take care of.'

She nodded her head and quickly took out another stick, much like the one Dumbledore had, just not quite as crooked and a slightly darker shade. She flicked it sharply and suddenly disappeared with a slight crackling sound.

'Wow!' exclaimed Cooro. The other three showed other, less obvious signs of surprise.

'Ah, here we are!' said Hagrid walking over to a table at the back. ''Arry! How've you been?'

A boy with bright red hair, numerous freckles and a cloak, which, as the four began looking around, nearly everyone was wearing, a girl with thick wavy dark brown hair and a cloak and another boy with ruffled black hair, round glasses and a rather ordinary green shirt and dark blue pants were sitting at a corner table. The four assumed these were the other three that Hagrid talked about. The boy with glasses and, upon closer inspection, a strange jagged scar on his forehead that was badly hidden by his long messy bangs said, 'Fine. Oh, I'd like you to meet Ron,' the red haired boy wavered under Hagrid's rather large stature but gave a slight 'Hi.' '...and Hermione,' the girl's eyes widened but she gave a brisk nod and a 'Hello.'

'Nice to meet yer,' said Hagrid. 'I've got a couple o' people for you to meet too. This 'ere's Cooro, Nana, Husky an' Senri. These three'll be going to Hogwarts like you and Senri ere'll be my assistant.'

'Hi!' said Cooro, beaming. 'I'm Cooro! Nice to meet you.'

'I'm, as you've probably guessed, Nana,' said Nana, sheepishly.

'I'm Husky. Nice to meet you,' said Husky.

'Senri,' said Senri, looking down at the new faces. The three wondered what had happened that he would need an eyepatch, but they didn't ask about it. The three introduced themselves a second time and, much to their surprise, (and Harry's relief,) they didn't seem to know who Harry was.

'Anyhow, we've got to get moving. I'll be takin' you all to get your things,' said Hagrid.

The three that were sitting got up and with the other four followed Hagrid as he walked up to the counter.

'Hey, Hagrid. Heading to Diagon Alley?' asked the barkeep, rubbing a dirty glass with a maybe too stained cloth. The seven automatically noticed his thick accent.

'Yup. I got seven students here to take shopping,' said Hagrid.

'Seven? Isn't that a bit unusual?' asked the barkeep, setting down the glass and cloth and walking around the counter towards a door at the side of the room.

'Norm'ly it'd be more spread an' I'd be taking just three but all the other teachers are tied up with the new school year and I've also got Senri here, who's going to be my new assistant,' explained Hagrid.

'Ah. Strange, though. I'd think you'd have the most work, though, seeing as you'd also have paperwork as well as grounds keeping too,' said the bartender as he took out a set of keys from his pocket, flipped through a couple and came to a selection.

'Well, I get me animals through John so I don' have much work in that area 'till school starts,' said Hagrid.

'Ah, the one who owns Buckweed Pets? I suppose that'd work, but how'd you get him to do that for you? He's got a whole franchise of those things,' the barkeep unlocked the door to reveal a barren alleyway that led strait to a dead end.

'He's an old friend o' mine,' explained Hagrid. 'Well, come on, then. Let's get moving,' he stated to the group of children, nudging them in the direction of the doorway.

'That'd be useful, wouldn't it? Nice talking to you, Hagrid,' said the barkeep.

'You too, Kerstin,' said Hagrid. He then turned to Kerstin and looked him in the eye with a gleeful shine in his eyes. 'Luxen?'

The barkeep grinned devilishly and waved a card showing an old dog in the air. 'Streinden,' he said.

'Ah, well, I'll get it eventually,' said Hagrid. 'Bye.'

'Maybe next time, Hagrid,' said Kerstin. 'Maybe next time...'

Hagrid closed the door and led the four down to the wall. The group looked at each other, obviously confused about both the strange exchange between who Hermione said must have been a german barkeep and Hagrid and what they were doing at a brick wall. Ron, however, smirked and said, 'I'm not too sure about the barkeep, but as for the wall, you'll see...' He left them hanging on those words, leaving the others even more confused than before.

Hagrid walked up to the wall, muttered something under his breath about bricks then said, 'Ah! Right, it was two to the left,' he then tapped a few different bricks with a bright pink umbrella that seemingly popped out of nowhere and to everyone's surprise other than Ron's, a couple bricks slid out of the wall, then a few more, then finally the whole wall began sliding off to stack against the side walls, revealing a brawling street packed with people wearing brightly colored clothing, mostly cloaks, but some others. To both sides there were many stores and shops, displaying anything from exotic pets to fancy clothing and even flying kitchenware.

'Wow!' exclaimed Cooro.

'I second the notion,' said Harry.

''Afore we go, I'll 'ave to tell you not to mess around or cause any trouble. This is the first time I've ever had a group over five, so stay together, okay?' said Hagrid, looking down at his rather large group of new students.

'We gotcha,' said Ron.

'What are we supposed to if we ever do go somewhere else anyways?' said Nana.

'Well, you'd go shopping,' said Husky. Nana Glared at him.

The others nodded their agreement and Hagrid went off the seven following him. He walked quite a ways until they came to an obviously very old church-like building with white marble columns and equally white stone walls. The top of it sported two identical statues of what appeared to be cherubs. The cherubs, despite being made of stone, were softly strumming their harps, though no sound was coming out. Hagrid said, 'Well, firs' thing's firs'. You'll all need money. Do any of you have accounts at Gringotts? Well, I know 'Arry does and you five won't, but what about Ron?'

'My mum gave me some money to buy my things,' said Ron, shaking a small leather pouch that was giving out some clinking noises.

'Ah, then we still need money fer you five. Do any of you 'ave any muggle money?' asked Hagrid.

All six of the non-wizards looked a bit confused, not knowing what muggles were, or that wizards had their own money.

'He means non-wizarding money, or what you would call 'normal' money,' whispered Ron.

'Oh,' said Harry.

'Well, I've got a hundred pounds from my parents for supplies,' said Hermione.

'We have about three-hundred thousand gillers,' said Cooro. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Hagrid were shocked.

'Three-hundred thousand?!' yelled Ron. 'How'd you ever get three-hundred thousand anything?'

'Well, we came across a town that was famous for its pearls since there was so much dust in the water and we were out of money,' said Nana.

'We decided to get Husky to...' began Cooro, when Husky hit him over the head with his staff.

'Don't tell them that!' said Husky. Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at them confused while Cooro rubbed his head.

'Anyways, we have a lot of money,' finished Husky.

'Well, that's okay, I suppose, as long as you can carry the money, else we'll have to open a new account,' said Hagrid. The four nodded and they went in. The inside was just as magnificent and fancy as the outside, seemingly giving off an essence of being expensive. Soft rugs with elegant designs covered the majority of the floor, with paintings of various people or items littering the walls. Several people were at various counter, which appeared to be manned by small, green creatures with pointed ears, much like something out of a fairy tale. Hagrid took them towards the nearest open counter and began a withdrawal for Harry, while the others waited in several wooden chairs against the wall with soft, comfortable cushions.

'We'd like to make a serviced withdrawal fer mister 'Arry Potter here,' said Hagrid. Harry looked down at the strange creature with small glasses resting on its pointed nose. It was one of the oddest things Harry had ever seen, with the exception of Dudley with a pig's tail. He chuckled softly at the memory.

The small creature looked up at Harry and raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. 'I see. Key?' it said.

'Jus' a minute,' said Hagrid. He reached back into his coat and patted around a few pockets before taking out a small golden key and handing it to the creature. He said to Harry, 'Norm'ly I'd let yuh get your money yourself but I've got five others to get money for too, you see.'

The small creature pocketed the key and said, 'Everything seems to be in order. How much will you be withdrawing?'

'A hunerd galleons, half in sickles and knuts,' said Hagrid.

'Please take a seat while you're waiting,' it said, before going off down some stairs at the back.

Hagrid and Harry went back to their group. 'Well, while we're waiting we might as well get you five yer money,' said Hagrid. Hermione and Cooro and his group got up and followed Hagrid to a counter with a sign saying 'Muggle Exchange' over the top.

Hagrid came up and said, 'These five need to exchange some money.'

'Very well,' the creature said. 'How much and what currency?'

''Ere, why don' you go firs', Hermione?' Hagrid said.

'Okay. Well, I have a hundred pounds,' she said, handing out the money. The creature examined it for a moment before saying, 'That will come to a total of thirty-four galleons, twelve sickles and thirteen knuts.' He scooped up the money and placed in some sort of container that they couldn't see behind the counter. He then quickly came back up with a leather pouch that was rather full. 'Here you are.'

'That was fast,' muttered Hermione, taking the pouch and examining the strange coins inside.

'Next?' said the creature, looking at the other four. Senri stepped up and dropped his backpack on the table, causing a resounding 'thump' sound. The creature raised an eyebrow and looked at Senri.

'It's about three-hundred thousand gillers,' said Husky. At this the creature opened the pack and picked it up with some effort and dumped it on the table. Thousands of bronze coins slid out and rolled around, though none of them fell off. It picked up one of them from the edge and took out a small looking glass and squinted its eye on it. It then took the coin in both hands and proceeded to examine it. After about twenty seconds it decided they were genuine, took out the glass and said, 'That would come to about two million galleons.'

'Two million?!' yelled Husky. The others were also a bit shocked.

'Due to the difficulty of actually travelling to Astaria the exchange rate is rather high,' explained the creature. 'Will you be opening an account?'

The group was a bit shocked, but Hagrid said, 'Yes, I guess so.'

'Very well,' it took out some papers and after the four mentioned that they were all orphans Hagrid took the role as proxy guardian and filled out the papers. The creature replaced the papers and took out a shiny gold key, much like the one Harry had for his account. 'Here you are. I will go collect the exchange.' It scooped all the money into a large bag and stored it under the counter, presumably for later moving. It then began, like the other one, to go down a set of stairs at the back. By now the first one had already finished, and a bag with the name 'Harry Potter' on it was sitting on the counter. Hagrid went and picked it up while the children sat down and waited for the three-hundred galleons Hagrid had ordered for the four. After a while the creature returned with four separate bags, one of which was much larger than the other three. The creature dumped the large bag into Senris backpack and placed the other three on the counter. The four walked up and got their separate bags. After the others got up and they followed Hagrid out of the bank.

'Where are we going next?' asked Hermione as they stepped onto the cobbled street.

'Ollivander's. You seven'll need some wands.'

Et wallah, deux. This one also sucks. Also, if you're wondering why nothing earth-shattering or shockingly important has happened yet, it's because, seriously, they're not even at school yet, what do you expect to happen? Please, no comments on my immensely imaginitive chapter title. Review, puny mortals, or die. Or maybe you'll die anyways. BWAHAHAHA!

I hate cheese.

Seriously, why do people like it so much? It sucks on anything other than pizza.

I like Pizza.
