DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN Ed, Edd, n Eddy or Harry Potter.
Chapter 2
Ed, Edd, n Eddy were now ready to purchase their school equipment, but there was a problem, where do they purchase it? The trio started to walk around London lost and confused.
"Guys, it's cool we're in London and stuff, but where to do we get all this stuff on our letters?" Eddy said quite confused."
"Perhaps we can check on the letter?" Sure enough, on the back were directions to go to Diagon Alley, a place where they can purchase their supplies.
"Gentlemen, on the back here it gives us directions, there should be a dark building called The Leaky Cauldron which sign should appear as we walk up to it. The building is located on Stoney St."
They walked to the street and found the building. They opened the door and everyone was shocked to see three boys in muggle clothing walk in.
"Pardon me, excuse me, my apologies, oh clumsy me... " said Double D as they maneuvered through the crowd of staring eyes to the bartender.
"Can I help you three?" said the bartender.
"Um, yes, sir can you tell us how to get to Diagon Alley?" said Double D.
"Hogwarts shopping I presume?". "Follow me" He led them through a door to a room with a few butterbeer crates and a brick wall. He pulled out his wand and tapped the wall in a pattern.
The wall opened up, and all three were astonished when they saw a long stretching street with many different buildings.
"Score! I bet this place has tons of jawbreakers!" said Eddy with a wide, devious smirk.
"Now Eddy, lets commence with our school shopping." First, the trio went to a shop called Madam Malkins so they could get their clothes.
"Here you go" said Eddy. He handed him $20 for all his robes. But the cashier looked at the money for a long time.
"What is this foreign currency you have?" asked the cashier.
"WHAT?! ARE YOU BLIND? IT'S DOUGH, BACON, CHICKEN! said Eddy.
"DID SOMEBODY SAY CHICKEN?" said Ed, now a lot more attentive. "I love chickens EDDY!"
"I bet you do" said Eddy.
"Eddy, we forgot to convert our 'muggle' currency to wizard currency." said Double D. "There must be a bank around here."
The trio exited the store in search of a bank. Their eyes stumbled upon a large white building with 'Gringotts' on the front of it.
"This must be the bank." said Double D.
"GREAT OBSERVATION EINSTEIN" said Eddy angrily. "EVEN ED COULD FIND THAT OUT!"
They went inside Gringotts which was very large, clean, and ornate. The three aproached a busy goblin.
"EVEN GOBLINS ARE REAL EDDY!" said Ed. "GOBLINS, YOU GUYS NEED TO STOP EATING CHILDREN!" said an angry Ed.
"Excuse me sir, but I believe you're mistaken" said the goblin.
"MAGICAL MAX HAS BEEN FIGHTING YOU FOR 10 ISSUES!" said Ed.
"Interesting, now what do you three want?!" said the annoyed goblin.
"Um, yes, we were wondering if you could convert our currency to wizard money." said Double D.
"Sure" said the goblin. "Did you three bring your keys?"
"Nope".
"Ok, do you have vaults?"
"Uh not that we're aware of" said Double D
"HAVE YOU EVEN EVER BEEN TO THE WIZARDING WORLD?!" said a now very angry goblin.
They all shook their heads.
"Ok, well you all can create a Gringotts account, and get family vaults."
They all were given keys.
"Ok, we've assigned you vaults, Eddy, yours is 868. Edd, yours is 869. Ed, 870." They each were given small keys.
"Hang on to those." said the goblin.
"Is it alright if I just 'look' at the other vaults?" said a devious Eddy.
"Do you take me for a fool boy? If you try to rob a vault, you will be teleported INTO the vault. We check the vaults for people about every 10 years." said the clever goblin. "
OK! FINE! Just asking!" said a now frightened and disappointed Eddy.
Then they each exchanged their $50 for wizard money. They each recieved 10 galleons, 6 sickles, and 21 knuts.
The trio then went back to Madam Malkins to get their Hogwarts robes. While they were there, Double D realized that his hat wasn't dress code approved at Hogwarts. In the back of Madam Malkins store, he found a wizard hat that was brimless and was less pointy and more baggy. He was able to buy it for very cheap. They then went to Flourish and Blotts to buy all the books they needed. Double D had to be dragged out of the store before he spent too much time reading books. The three went to a few other stores and purchased cauldrons, gloves, cloaks, phials, telescopes, and scales.
Then the Eds went to the Magical Menagerie to get pets. The store was crouded and noisy when pets lining the walls.
"I KNOW WHAT PET I WANT EDDY!" said a now excited Ed.
"And what is that?" said a sarcastic Eddy.
"A CHICKEN!"
"They don't have chickens Ed."
But right as he said that, a lady led Ed to a small room with different colors and sizes of chickens. Ed had a look as if he had just stumbled upon $1,000,000.
"CHICKENS!" exclaimed Ed.
Ed bought the largest chicken which was brown and kind of dirty. It was put in a square cage. Eddy bought a Harlequin Toad. Double D decided he wanted an owl so he went to Eeylops Owl Emporium.
"Hmm, interesting." He then remembered that the owl who delivered his letter was a snowy owl. "I will purchase a snowy owl."
The trio was almost done with their shopping in Diagon Alley, the last thing that they each need is a wand. They walked to Ollivander's wand shop to purchase wands. The store ressembled a shoe store with tons of rectangular boxes all over the shelves. It was a very small store.
"Is this where we can get magic wands?" asked Ed.
"Why yes sir, this is a wand store." said an old voice. It was Mr Ollivander.
First, Ed (being very eager to get a wand) was measured and examined by Mr. Ollivander to see what wand he should use.
"Now sir, which hand is your wand arm?" asked Mr. Ollivander. Ed raised up his right hand.
Ollivander then proceeded to do all kinds of measurements to Ed such as his height, armspan, (both which were very large) and he looked at him for a moment. Then, unexpectedly, he handed Ed a wand.
"Try thi-" his words were cut off as Ed was already swinging around his wand like a savage.
"YES! I NOW POSSESS SACRED MAGICAL POWERS! chanted an extremely happy grin.
Cases started shooting out of the shelves, flowerpots were smashing, windows were cracking.
"SIR STOP THAT, YOU'RE GOING TO KILL A MAN!" Ed suddenly looked frightened and sad.
"There, there Ed, you will find a wand, just remain patient..." said a sympathetic Double D. He pat Ed on the back.
Ed then tried out more wands. The last one was English Oak, with a unicorn hair core, 14 in and very flexible. When Ed tried that wand, he felt a warm sensation in his fingers, even he could realize that this wand was right for him.
"We have found a match for you sir." said Ollivander. He seemed very pleased with himself.
They went through with the same process with Double D that Ed did. After trying a few wands, Double D felt the sensation when he held a Walnut wand with a unicron hair core, 13 inches, and reasonably supple.
Finally it was Eddy's turn. Eddy's match was a Hornbeam with Dragon Heartstring, 10 inches, and unyielding. The trio were excited to get there wands. But as soon as they paid for their wands and left Ollivanders, Ed immediately stuck his wand into his nose.
"ED! that is quite unsanitary!" scolded Double D.
The three of them were all set to go on the train to attend Hogwarts tomorrow. They were super excited for it as well. But on the way out, they spotted none other than all three Kanker sisters also shopping. They had just walked out of Magical Menagerie and were each holding pets. May was holding a sandy yellow Natterjack toad, Marie was holding a black cat, and Lee was holding a ginger cat.
"May, I can't believe you got a stupid ugly toad instead of a cat like us!" said Lee.
"But I think we have an emotional connection, I'm naming it Henry!" said May.
"That toad will give you warts May!" warned Marie. The Eds quickly hid behind Ollivanders and listened.
They decided to book it, and ran to the stone entrance to Diagon Alley. Unfortunately, the were carrying a lot of stuff which was all stuffed into their bags. They finally were able to weave through the crowd and to the wall, but it was closed!
So there they were, carrying all of there school supplies, feet away from the Kankers, blocked by the wall. Will they get to the train tomorrow in time?
