9 years later*
It was a normal Saturday morning for the monkey d family as they all woke up to the booming voice of their grandfather as he announced food was ready which was always followed by the 3 brothers one in a top hat and blue pyjamas and his twin brother in a cowboy hat and orange pyjamas always pushing each other trying to be the first one down while the youngest brother in a strawhat found and ducked through a gap between his brothers and managed to get downstairs first and started devouring the food on the table much to his brother's disappointment.
The youngest brother was 11 year old Luffy who was tall for his age he had black messy hair and thanks to his gramps training he had a slim build of muscle and had grown to be a very capable wizard in the arts of duelling and casual spells thanks to the training he begged his grandfather monkey d Garp to give him as well as receiving some assistance from his two brothers when they weren't studying at Hogwarts with a very small but visible scar under his eye that Luffy always claimed to anyone who wasn't his family that he accidentally cut himself when he was 5 resulting in the scar under his eye.
His two older brothers were twins ace and Sabo, ace was a tall young man with a slim build with black messy hair like his brothers with freckles sprinkled across his face. Sabo was a practical the identical to his brother other than the fact he had blonde hair and no freckles on his face
"Come on sit down you too or Luffy will eat it all" shouted Garp with a smile on his face after hearing that the two brothers rushed to their spots and joined their younger brother in devouring the feast in front of them Garp joined them as well and with In minutes a meal that could of fed 100 people was devoured by the family of 4
"*Sigh* that hit the spot hey grandpa did the owl deliver anything today" Luffy asked with excitement clearly in his eyes if his face splitting smile wasn't an indicator enough of Luffy's excitement to receive a letter from the famous wizarding school Hogwarts a place Luffy has always wanted to go ever since he could hold a wand and cast a spell.
"Ghahah funny you mention it Luffy I just received 3 letters from sunny today" Garp announced Garp then tossed 3 letters to each of the characters brothers with each letter looking the exact same being white with a red wax seal on it addressed to all 3 boys from one special place Hogwarts.
After opening it and reading it twice over to make sure it wasn't a prank luffy let out a loud chear, Luffy's family watched on with both amusement and happiness in their eyes as they knew just how much this meant to him and his dream.
"Well since everyone's finished eating how about you 3 go get ready and we can go Diagon Alley and get all the things listed books and equipment you'll need for Hogwarts." Garp boomed with his jolly smile
with the brothers immediately running upstairs to get into some simple clothes and coats before heading to the fire place and using floo powder to arrive safely and quickly at Diagon Alley.
After arriving the family made sure they were together and safe before immediately buying everything they needed as well as a little shopping for themselves which involved Ace Sabo And Luffy each buying a new broom for their separate reasons ace because he was a chaser for the Grifandoor quidditch team while Sabo wanted a new broom so he could travel
Around the castle since it apparently relaxes him and Luffy wanted one so he could practice flying while getting shot at by his brothers since he didn't want to get killed if he had to fight someone in the sky as well as a 2 books of spells one for duels and the other a book of tricks for him to pass the time with practicing while he waits for the day to leave for Hogwarts.
"Hey gramps is it okay if I go look around on my own incase anyone needs help finding there stuff" Luffy asked politely to Garp more because he didn't want to be hit with his "fist of love" more than anything
"Sure I'm going to be at the pub if you need me Luffy I saw a friend there and thought I'd go catch up with him" Garp couldn't help but laugh after making that statement making the 3 brothers prey for Garps friends safety.
Luffy started walking down the alley looking at all the fun and interesting stores Luffy didn't really see anyone of his age since the letters had only recently been handed out to the students and Luffy nearly walked back to the pub to go home except just as he was about to give up he saw a boy with green hair staring at what looked like a blacksmith shop Luffy after seeing him walked up and asked the strange boy what he was looking for.
The boy jumped back in surprise not expecting someone to just pop right next to him and immediately gathered himself together "I'm looking to see if they sell any swords but this dam door keeps moving" The boy complained
"really" Luffy questioned while looking at the door with both amazement and curiosity.
"Yeah let me show you" the green haired boy then proceeded to walk straight for the door and for some odd reason turn into the wall next to it making Luffy burst out laughing,
The green haired boy then immediately turned to Luffy with a red face of embarrassment "Hey strawhat what's so funny" the boy screamed causing Luffy to laugh even harder
"You..turned…into the wall it isn't magic or cursed" Luffy panted out "watch ill show you"and to the shock and embarrassment of the green haired boy Luffy just walked forward and opened the door and looked at him with a smile while gesturing his hand at the open in in a way of saying see.
After quickly muttering a thanks and entering the shop both Luffy and his green haired "friend" looked around the store both looking at everything with excitement and wonder at the different blades on sale.
"Oh I just realised I didn't my name I'm Monkey D Luffy what's yours"Luffy held out his hand and smiled like makino taught him too since apparently to her if he wanted to excepted as a auror he needed to use his manners when introducing himself.
"Roanora Zoro nice to meet you" zoro smiled after shaking luffy's hand "so luffy are you here for hogwarts as well" Zoro questioned with a look of curiosity
"Yep I just got my letter today and came here to make sure I didn't forget anything" Luffy responded with a smile "so why you so interested in swords is it like a hobby for you" Luffy asked with intrigue
"My dream is to become a strong knight and to do that I need to know how to use a sword better than most wizards can use a wand so places like this is what Ollivanders would be too you" Zoro said with clear seriousness in his voice and Luffy could tell from just looking in his eyes that Zoro believed he could do it.
"So what about you what's the dream that you wish to achieve and before you ask I could tell from that spark in your eyes they give away that you want to be more than just a average wizard" Zoro pushed hoping to understand more about his new acquaintance.
"I'm among to become an auror like my family but not just any auror I want to be the strongest so I can go into battle knowing no matter what happens to me I can protect those who can't protect themselves" Luffy declared softly saying every letter of his dream with pride and confidence that he can do it.
Luffy turned to his head the same time Zoro turned his both wearing confident smiles on their faces before leaving the armoury and making small talk and laughing down the street together as they both hit each other with jabs about Zoro's bad directions and Luffy's gluttony.
that was until they came to a stop seeing a young boy with a long nose doing what looked like protecting a blonde haired girl of a similar age from a taller boy with glasses seamed to be trying to steal the pairs money with the assistance of a bloted boy who looked to be pulling his arm back to punch the smaller boy seeing this both Luffy and Zoro shared a look before both ran up and protected the boy and girl with Luffy delivering a sharp knee to the face of the glasses wearing boy breaking them in the process and Zoro punching the stomach of his friend sending them both crashing into the ground and standing in front of the two muggers.
Cough* "who the hell are you two couldn't you tell me and that boy were having a conversation" the tall boy growled
"Yeah didn't your parents ever teach you any manners" the bigger boy said trying to sound as intimidating as possible and to succeed with the long nose boy but didn't seem to have much affect on Luffy or Zoro
"Last time I checked a conversation didn't involve trying to punch someone and grab their wallet, what about you Zoro you ever heard about that type of "friendly" conversation" Luffy asked with a sarcastic tone and small smile on his face.
No Luffy never heard of that one before but maybe we're just too out of touch" Zoro answered back with a smile of his own
"Don't you dare mock us you two should understand that you're talking to the future strongest duo in both the sword and wand duelling me the unpredictable Buchi and the genius wizard Kuro" Buchi shouted causing several
"Buchi what have i told you about making a scene we will get our revenge on a different date but not today let's go" Kuro coldly ordered Buchi before standing up fixing his glasses and walking away with Buchi immediately jumping up and running after Kuro after sending a glare to Zoro and leaving just in time to be out of ear shot of Luffy and Zoros laughing fit while the girl watched the duo in confusion while the boy watched them with tears and joy in his eyes.
After Luffy and Zoro stopped laughing they both turned to long nose boy and his friend "Sorry about we just got lost in the moment are you two okay they didn't hurt any of you did they?" Luffy questioned with a calm voice that caught Zoro off guard not expecting his new friend could switch his mood and voice so easily
"Were both fine but just so you know even if you two hadn't had helped us I was just about to scare them off with my famous Ussop punch that I used to slay a dragon" the long nose boy lied.
"Ussop now's not the time for lying sorry about that but we are both fine the names kaya and this is my friend Ussop" Kaya introduced softly while holding out like she had practice doing so before.
Luffy took her hand and shook it gently "I'm Monkey D Luffy but you can just call me Luffy" Luffy introduced with the same tone and joy in his voice that Zoro was used too and decided to introduce himself in his usual casual voice "And I'm Roanoa Zoro but just call me zoro"
"Are you two also going to Hogwarts if so do you know where we could find the book One thousand magical herbs and Fungi by Phyllida Spore"
"Yeah we are and to find that book you just have to go to Flourish and Blotts and ask the guy in the front desk and he'll give you what you need" directed Luffy already familiar with the area since this is his third time going
"Thanks sorry for keeping you hopefuly we will see later at the station" and before anyone could say another word Ussop and Kaya were off.
Luffy just waved wishing them luck and continued walking with Zoro. "Hey Zoro do you have an owl at your house" Luffy chearfuly asked
"yep his Names Ryuma why want to trade address and keep in touch over the week" Zoro smiled at the thought since he'd never admit it but Luffy has been the closest thing he's had to a friend since he mostly trained with his sword at home and only talked to his family during meals.
After Luffy heard the idea he immediately agreed leading to Luffy buying a small notebook so they could write and swap addresses and both just continued walking together until the duo ran into Zoro's family who were apparently looking all over for him his sister a small girl with glasses seemed to be the most upset since they wasted their first time in Diagon Ally buying their books and equipment and instead of enjoying themselves they wasted it looking for Zoro.
After Zoros sister had finished shouting at Zoro. Luffy said his goodbye's to Zoro and his family and left for the pub where he ended up having to help his brothers get Garp back home by putting him in the fire place and tossing the powder in the pit with him successfully sending their drunk grandpa home before joining him themselves.
After catching up on luffy's time alone at Diagon Alley and sharing a laugh over the two cowards as ace decided to nickname them. The brothers split up ace to practice flying Sabo started making dinner and Luffy started reading his new spell book and practiced some spells on the test dummy he received for his 7th birthday which was also the day he went to Ollivanders and received his wand.
Luffy's wand was a 10 inch long poplar wood wand with a phoenix core something that Luffy has treasured and practiced with ever since he got home since it's normally illegal for underage wizards to use magic that is unless there being supervised by a trustworthy individual of the ministry which Luckily for Luffy both his father and grandfather were.
After finishing up his training as Luffy called it he went downstairs had a normal dinner with his family well as normal as a dinner can be for the monkey D family including his father who managed to get off work early couldn't wait to hear about his day
by the end of Luffy bringing his dad up to speed it was clear that Dragon was thrilled to know about Luffy making friends already as well as a mix of amused and proud of him making two enemies because he decided to defend and help the young wizard and witch befriending them in the process
Hearing that Luffy's father couldn't help tease him by congratulating him on being a ladies man at such a young age causing everyone except Luffy to laugh and carry on with their meals with Luffy joining back in eating with his family and enjoying the company of one another even if deep down Luffy thought that today would have been perfect if his mother was here to see it.
After luffy said his good nights to his family he wrote a quick letter to Zoro asking if he wanted to catch the train together a week later Zoro sent Luffy a note back agreeing to the plan and both agreed they would stay in contact over the remaining 5 weeks when they aren't training or studying for the year ahead.
