for those who don't know, this is the first chapter to a harry potter comic I started a whiiiile ago with Zakuro...or rather this is the part of the first chp after shiori and zakuro were kidnapped from school by james lD
James, Shiori, and Zakuro enter Diagon Alley.
They walk and a candy store catches Shiori's eye
Shiori veers off to store, but pulled back by James
James: We're not here to buy sugary sweets
Zakuro slips away to another store that sells exploding items.
James: Wha-- ... You know what, I'm not even going to bother...
Shiori and James find Zak and take her back on track.
James: Here we'll find everything you'll need for school. your cauldron, wand, animal, books. you know...school things.
Zakuro: THE FRIK YOU NEED AN OWL FOR IN SCHOOL ... ... Oh.. I think I know...-l3-
Zakuro imagines Super Owl man saving her from homework
Zakuro: ... Yeah... Just wait until we get to GEOMETRY
James and Shiori sweatdrop, go on with life
Shiori: How would we pay for this stuff...we don't have any moneyz
The three approach Gringotts Bank
James: Which is why we're coming here first.. I was told you two have an account here.
They walk in and approach one of the goblins.
James: We need to get to the vault for Shiori and Zakuro
the goblin looks at the two girls
Goblin: do they have a key?
James: I was told by headmaster Dumbledore they don't have or need a key.
Goblin: Impossible...I need a key
Shiori: but...we don't have one
Goblin: then you can't get into the vault.
James rummages through his pockets and pulls out a piece of parchment.
James: I have a note from Dumbeldore himself.
Goblin takes and reads the note
Goblin: alright...follow me
They all follow the goblin to the depths of vault hell.
They stop at a vault with no lock
Zakuro: -finally catches on- THIS IS A BANK!?!?!
James: ...-slow clap-
Goblin: This is your vault.. There was instruction for you and your sister to unlock the door by placing your index finger on each side of the door.
Shiori: uhh...sure
Shiori puts her finger on the door, Zakuro smashes it with her head.
Goblin: WHAT THE FU--
Shiori: -sighs- Here....
Shiori and Zakuro put their finger on the door and watch as it unlocks.
Shiori: oh shiznit!
James: well there's your money
Zakuro: WE HAVE MONEY!?! -catches self- Huhem. I mean, yes. Yes we do. We do have money. I'm totally not going to just claim someone elses dough. l< Wait. This isn't money.
James: .... ... This is Wizard Money... What do you think? We're going to be using dollar bills over here?
Zakuro: Yes.
James: In Britin.
Zakuro: Yes.
James: In a society that's grown up apart from the non-magical.
Zakuro: ... ... BEN FRANKLIN CAN BEAT YOUR MAGIC MONEY.
Goblin: JUST TAKE WHAT YOU NEED AND LEAVE. (my god he's a douchebag)
The sisters take what they can carry and run
Outside the bank
James: alright...I think its time you two got your first wands.
Zakuro: -arms full of explosives- YAY!
STAREOFF
James: ...Return those now.
Zakuro: ...I never even bought these
Random Wizard: THIEF!
Three of them: AGGGH!
-Wand Shop Time!-
Enter Ollivanders. Josh greets them.
Josh: Welcome to Ollivanders: "Makers of Fine Wands since...."uhumnum/.3pt font ...I give up. This is the fourteenth time today... Freaking back to school season.
James: ...Josh? Is Mr. Ollivanders here?
Josh: Oh yeah, he's over chatting up the lady from--
James: -holds up hand- I get it, I get it... Hey, Josh, we need to get these girls their wands. Think you could help them?
Josh: I'll see what I can do.
James: alright. thanks...
He turns to the girls.
James: I'll be right back. I need to get a few things myself.
James leaves Zakuro and shiori, hear a squeaking noise, see James being chased by random wizard shouting "THIEF!"
Shiori: ....Who knew! He was still following us!
Josh: ...Interesting... .....Oh yeah. Summer Job. So. Who wants to go first?
Both sisters give each other looks that say the other can go first, but Josh interrupts their little staring contest
Josh: How 'bout you?
He motions to Zakuro
Zakuro: :l ... .... OH. ME?
Josh: yeah! why not? Let's get you a wand. now the question is which one is right for you...
Zakuro: ...I was thinking one that goes with my eyes/stupid face
Josh: Pfft. You really are a first year, aren't you... Here, let me help.
He goes to check out the shelves with boxes upon boxes of wands and takes out a box containing a rosewood wand.
Josh: here...try this
He hands her the wand.
Zakuro tries to use it, but is shocked by an insta-urge of electricity, the wand flies out of her hand and smacks Josh in the head.
Zakuro: I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Josh: -rubs head- It's... alright... -smiles- usually it takes a bit of time to find the right wand... You wouldn't believe what the last girl who came in here did.
Shiori: ...I wouldn't say that. She's already thinking of the thing as a competition
Zakuro: -determined look on face- >3
A FEW WANDS LATER:
A wounded Josh takes the wand from Zakuro's hands and places it back in a box
Josh: ...Very nice, very nice. You've managed to explode the table that went along with that vase... Ollivander's not going to fire me for sure/mocking smile
Zakuro: One more broken thing and we get a free wand!
Josh: -looks back, shocked- What!? When did I say that!?!
His hand hovers near a dusty old box, he thinks a bit and then decides to go for it.
Josh: This one seems to have an energy similar to your own. perhaps it will be the one.
He brings Zakuro a Maple & Black walnut wand and hands it to her.
Josh: go on....try it.
Zakuro: You REALLY want to do this again?
Shiori: it'll be fine Zak. otherwise he wouldn't be trusting you with that wand.
Zakuro waved the wand and they all watched as a wonderous light eminated from the wand signifying its harmony.
Josh: well it looks like we've found you a wand. It looks good with you
Zakuro: ... ....Do it again owo
Josh: -smiles, smile falls when he realizes he has another customer- ...CRAP. You too? THIS ROOM IS GOING TO BE SO--nevermind, nevermind. Just come here, I hate this job anyway.
Motions Shiori forward
Shiori: right....guess its my turn.
Josh: Well, at least you know how this works now. A good three hours and we'll have a wand choosing you as well.
He went to the shelves and found one that seemed suited for Shiori
Josh: this one's called the secret keeper.... this wand will help you understand the mystery within yourself. go ahead
Shiori: ...That's so beautiful! No wonder they hired you!
Josh: ...I was just reading the label on the box. :/ ...try it.
He handed the wand to Shiori. Everyone flinches
The energy within the wand merged with Shiori and locked a bond between their power by creating a glow that spiraled around her wrist
Shiori: Guess that's a good sign, right?
Josh nods
Zakuro: -looks up from hiding- WHAT. I MISSED IT!? IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I MISSED IT!? What happened to the other half of the room blowing up? Thwacking him in the head?!
Josh: ...You found that fun?
Zakuro: N-no, I'm just sayinggg...../LIELIELIELIE
Shiori: My own wand... Hmmn.. Now what to pay you... What did James say again about currency? ... Ah! Okay, here you go!
Shiori hands over some gold, Zakuro hands Josh a few more coins
Zakuro: That should cover the charges! ...And your medical bills
Josh: Please...for you, I'll charge only half price
He hands her back half of what she gave.
Zakuro: >/ WUT. Are you kidding me? I took me forever to figure out what to give you!
Shiori: ... Actually, I was the one who figured it out.
Zakuro: True. But it's not right.
Josh: It's alright, really. It's not every day that my job is made simple.
Zakuro: ... ...I blow up half the store, break and bruise your body and you call this "simple".
Josh: ...Y...es.... ...First Year Discount?
Zakuro: Take it. >:0
Josh: *sigh* alright.
Zakuro and Shiori: Thanks for the wands
Shiori: ...And not killing us!
Before they leave Ollivanders, Josh ninjas half of what Zakuro paid back to her gold pouch.
The two meet up with James outside of the wand shop; Really quick balloon of Ollivander's "WHAT JUST HAPPENED IN HERE!?!!"
James: Wha? That was fast! Did they kick you out!?
Shiori: Wha-- no!
James: -sees Shiori's wand, in his mind- ... That wand.. How strange...
Shiori: ...Are you okay?
James: Ah- yeah! I'm okay. We need to get you your books now.
Shiori: -tosses him a look- I see....
James takes the two to the book store
Inside the store, Mishiga was clinging to a bookshelf, her parents trying to drag her away. a group of wizards surrounding them, staring at the scene
Mishiga: WAAHH I DUN WANNA GOOOOOOO!!!!
The parents let her go. Mishiga, not prepared for the lack of pulling, falls to the ground.
Smish's mom: -graceful harumph- fine! But if you get in trouble, don't come crying to us!!
Mishiga: wow...thanks for that mom. That's just... beautiful.
The parents leave, random wizards follow after with longing eyes at the fleur.
James, Zakuro, and Shiori approach the Mishiga
Zakuro: are you alright? You must really love this pillar, eh?
Mishiga: No... What?
James: J...Just forget it.
Mishiga: -shrugs- Welll, I'm fine but my parents are being weird. I'm going to my first year at Hogwarts so they think they need to tell me everything I need to do while being overprotective.
Shiori: its Zakuro and my first year too, we honestly don't know what it is really... Wait...overprotective of what?
Mishiga: Well, as I hate to admit, I'm half Veela. -harumph-Mom's a full Veela-- that's how she met wealthy old Pa and--
Shiori and Zakuro: a what?
James: It's a sort of... Well... Um... Let's just put it this way: Veela are the inrefutable hot chicks of the wizarding world. Full Veela aren't human but tend to disguised themself as women.... ... Very hot women.
Mishiga: yeah...that. by the way...My name's Mishiga~
Zakuro: Nice to meet ya. I'm Zakuro
Shiori: and I'm Shiori
James: My name's James (lol rhyming) <- HE IS TOTALLY SAYING THAT
Mishiga: Cool! ...So you're first years too?
James: Well, I'm going to my second year. I'm helpin these two get their supplies. -strikes a pose-
Shiori: ....What's with him?
Mishiga: -annoyed- He's caught in my curse... It happens to most boys...
Shiori: -smiles- Okay then! -FACE PUNCH-
James: WHAT. WHAT WAS THAT.
Shiori: -shrugs- You were googgly eyeing Mishiga.
James: Oh... Oh yes. Sorry. SO BOOKS.
James pulls out two pieces of parchment and hands them to Shiori and Zakuro
James: these are your classes. each class should have a text book you'll need.
Mishiga: If it's alright, can you help me with my supplies as well? my parents kind of ditched me.
James: It's fine with me!
Shiori: >/ Of course it's fine with you! ... And sure, don't want to leave you all alone, do we?
Zakuro: Do we?
Zakuro, Shiori, Mishiga, and James get their books
Shiori: Zakuro and I have different books...is this right?
James: uhh...lemme see your classes?
Zakuro and Shiori hand over their class lists.
James: interesting
Mishiga rejoins the group with her books
Mishiga: what? something wrong?
James: These two have different classes, yet both are first years...
Shiori: How does that work?
James: I dunno, but apparently you,Shiori, have Care of Magical Creatures which doesn't really become available until your third year.
Mishiga: Is it a mistake?
James: nah...there's a reason for it, most likely. Zakuro...your classes look normal
He hands back the schedules.
Zakuro: ...I'm not used to "POTIONS" and "HISTORY OF MAGIC" being 'normal' classes, but sure.
....So... What are we still standing around for? We done?
James: I believe so. let's pay and move on, shall we?
People go up to the front, Zakuro digs in to get the money
Zakuro: -Rage- NO. OH NO HE DIDN'T.
Shiori: W-what happened? Did we loose our money!?
Zakuro: WORSE. THAT JOSH KID GAVE US PART OF IT BACK.
Shiori: Well that was nice.
Zakuro: >0 -begins to run off-
James: OH NO YOU DON'T. WE'RE NOT GETTING BRANDED AS THIEVES AGAIN. NOT HERE. PAY THE MAN.
Zakuro: BUT THE MONEY. HE PUT THE MONEY BACK!
James: I HAD TO RUN FIVE MILES TO GET AWAY FROM THE LAST GUY: NOT AGAIN. I HATE RUNNING.
Shiori: -takes the money, pays- :/
James: Hey Mishiga. you gotten your familiar yet?
Mishiga: well uhh....no...
James: well that makes three of ya.
The group travels to Eeylops Owl Emporium
The girls browsed the selection of owls, rats, toads, etc.; Shiori <3-ing over all of them
James: -watching Shiori, thinking- ...First the wand... Now the classes... No wonder Dumbledoor showed such interest in this girl... -looks over at Zak who is making faces at owls- ...Her I don't get, but he's never been wrong before...
Shiori finds a barred owl with a bright orange beak.
Shiori: He's pretty~ *__*
James comes to see Shiori's choice of owl
James: He looks sturdy...powerful...
He walks to find Mishiga (Smish gets an owl right?) in front of the owl she found fit for her.
James: So.... You come here often ;D
Shiori chucks a rat at him
James: -still tries to keep his cool-
Mishiga: -could care less- I want this one~<3
James: It's very pretty a fine choice for, -Shiori tosses a cat at him, misses- ... Ah what's the point.
James walks up to Zakuro who's staring eye to eye with a strange owl
Zakuro: HE'S SO CUTE~!!!
James: You want THAT one?
Zakuro: YES <3
James: What are you stu... It's head is six times bigger than... He looks really ol... ....alright.
The shop keeper comes to greet the group
Keeper: I see you've found an interest in the owls
James: ahh, yes...we'd like to purchase the three owls of their choice.
Keeper: OH-HOH! Now really? -arm around James- alrighty then, friend. which ones would they be?
The three girls brought forward the attention of the birds they wanted.
Keeper: all fine choices.
James: -face falls- Wut. Even...
the keeper pointed to Zakuro's owl.
Keeper: Actually been waiting a while for someone to choose him.
The girls purchased their owls and departed from the store.
Outside, they found an area where they could put their stuff down
Mishiga: Can we have a cart or something? It's rather hard carrying everything..
James: -ALMOST tries to flirt again, looks at Shiori, forgets about it- right...hold on a sec.
He leaves and returns with carts
Shiori: Thanks James~
James: -charming smile- no problem...you all still need what...cauldrons?
Zakuro: One year for halloween Shiori and I made these CAULLLLDRROOOONNNS filled with CANNNDY CORNNN and PEAAAANNUUUUUTS. :3
James:O...Okay then. Anyway...I think after that, we'll need to get your robes and other clothes and then I think we'll be done.
Mishiga: Shouldn't take too long, right?
James: not at all... Here, would you like some help with that? -holds Shiori's books while she puts Czar in her cart-
Shiori: Thanks~ I think we're ready to go...now wherefore we get these cauldrons?
Mishiga: I think I saw them selling cauldrons over there
James: then over there we shall go
Shiori: ...Of course.
Time cut. (honestly how pointless to draw out getting everything we need...)
The four students are at the end of Diagon Alley, sitting with their new school supplies.
Shiori looks up at the sky
Shiori: It's starting to get dark...
Mishiga: Hmm... We should probably get inside soon though-- I hear there's going to be a full moon tonight!
James becomes wide-eyed and scrambles to his feet.
James: we...should go...yes....go. I hear that there's a room waiting for you at the leaky cauldron.
Zakuro: what's the hurry? I still need to get that Josh-kid his money back >/
James: what? oh...uhh...well wouldn't you want to get a good night's sleep? The Hogwarts Express leaves tomorrow morning.../SWT SWT
Shiori: I...guess that makes sense
Mishiga: You never know what's out wandering the streets here anyway...
James: lets go!
Zakuro: all right all right
the girls stand up and they all head to the leaky cauldron.
James retrieves a room key and gives it to Shiori
James: ok your room is 1337. I'll be back to take you all to the train station in the morning. Be ready at 8
Shiori and Zak snort, Mishiga and James obviously don't see what's so funny
Mishiga: You're not staying with us?
James: sorry...no
Shiori: ...why not?
James: I have......other things to do.. but I'll be back tomorrow!
before anything else could be said, James ran off.
The girls ran upstairs to their room and prepared for the night and the day ahead.
~SLUMBER PARTYYY~ lol no...XP <-(Zakuro: BUT I BROUGHT MY TRUTH OR DARE THONG)
Zakuro: what kind of stuff do you think James had to do?
Shiori: I dunno...but whatever it was sounded important...
Mishiga: yeah. why else would he run off like that?
Shiori: either way...at least he'll be back in the morning.
Zakuro: ...What are you guys, in love with him or something?
Shiori blushes, Mishiga >Y: Both smack Zak with pillows
Mishiga: you know...we haven't named our owls yet
Zakuro: OH OH OH!! Mine's gunna be named Elvis lD
Mishiga: .....uhh.......ok? I guess I'll name mine Rinka
Zakuro: Wanna know why I named my Elvis?
Shiori: Cute~ I'll name mine...Czar. That seems to suit him well. we should go to sleep if we want to have any sort of energy tomorrow
Zakuro: But but but, DO YOU WANNA KNOW?
Mishiga: Sleep? I'll agree to that~
Zakuro: :C sleep
the three disperse to their beds and fall asleep...or at least...Mishiga and Shiori fall asleep
~The Next Day~
The girls are awake and ready
They check their trunks to make sure they have everything they need. Zakuro goes to slip out the window
Shiori: ...So... Um...
Zakuro: I'm returning the money! >/
Shiori: Oh, no you're not! James said to be ready at 8-- we're not going to spend a day looking for you instead!
Zakuro: But---
Theres a knock on the door
James: Yall ready to go?
Zakuro: DANG IT.
The girls assemble their belongings and meet James in the hallway.
Shiori: woah...what happened to you? *Reaction to James' messy appearance*
James: nothing...nothing at all. just didn't have a lot of time to get ready this morning is all...? So we're ready to go?
Zakuro: N-
Everyone, including James, slap their hands over her mouth
Mishiga: yup~
Shiori: Yeah!
James: good~ now lets get going, shall we?
-Scene change to train station-
James: well here we are...platform 9 3/4
Zakuro: ....This. Is a pillar.
Shiori: Is this a joke?
James: no...its magic :3
Mishiga: Don't you run into the pillar to get on the platform?
James: Mhmmn, smart girl! Thats how it works. would you like to give it a go?
Mishiga: uhh...sure?
She makes a run for it and goes through the wall.
Shiori and Zakuro: WTF O___o
James: alright...who's next?
Shiori and Zakuro: .........
James: come on...don't wanna keep Mishiga waiting, right?
Shiori: I'll go
James: alright Shiori~ go on
She follows Mishiga's actions and disappears into the wall
James: Your turn Zakuro
Zakuro: ....I'm going to go run into a pillar!
James: that's the spirit.
Zakuro runs and hits the pillar, falls down
James: ...Wrong one stupid.
Zakuro runs thru the right one
James meets the rest on the platform. the girls are staring in awe at the train and the number of students around.
James: all right all right...come along. can't get to Hogwarts without boarding
Shiori: oh umm..right
James leads the first year girls onto the train and find an empty room (does not know train terms *shot*)
they take their seats and get comfortable
In a few minutes, the train departs for Hogwarts :D
Shiori: sooo...what's Hogwarts like James?
Zakuro: Is it even real? /strapped in like whoa
James: YES IT'S REAL!! -turns back to Shiori- Hogwarts... It's probably one of the best schools in the world. It has the greatest headmaster anyone could ask for.
Mishiga: Dumbledore right?
Shiori: wasn't he the one that told you to get us?
James: one of the same~
Shiori: He sounds like he knows what he's doing
James: he sure does. Dumbledore practically makes Hogwarts worth going to. Helped me out a lot last year...
Mishiga: Helped you with what?
James: uhh...you know....stuff. HEY LOOK! the candy trolley!
the trolley comes by, offering magical goodies
trolley person: would you like something from the trolley?
James: yeah I'll take one of everything covered in chocolate<-GJ on your diet James
he turns to the others
James: do any of you want anything?
Shiori: *to trolley person* yeah! I'll have whatever he's having~ :3
Trolley person: -wide eyed... Disbelief, twitching- Will that be all?
Mishiga: I'll just have a box of berty botts every flavor beans.
Shiori: Zakuro, you want anything?
Zakuro: no thank you. I'm good.
the children pay for their noms
Trolly Person: Dear Lord I'm going to need more chocolate. -Runs back- HEY GUYS I CAN PAY FOR MY WAY THROUGH SCHOOL AGAIN!!!
Trolley runs back to get more Chocolate
Shiori grabs a box of chocolate frogs
Shiori: These any good?
James: ...All of them are good. -on second thouuught-...though you should prolly grab it before it jumps away
James opened one of his own and ate it
Shiori opened the box and grabbed the lil froggy
Zakuro: aww~ Its a cute froggy
Shiori eats the frog
Zakuro: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OH MY GOD SHE ATE IT! THAT CUTE LITTLE FROG OH MY--!!
The goodies get eaten and shiori wants another time cut
James: I think it's about time we change into our robes.
Shiori: Are we that close?
James: close enough...about 10 minutes I guess till we're there
Mishiga: well then we have no time to lose~
they each leave to change into their robes
Zakuro: Guys. :3 Hey Guys. I'm still tied up...
.....
....Uh. Guys?
TIME SKIP AGAIIIIN~
Shiori: what happens with our luggage?
James: it gets taken to the baggage room where it'll be transported to your room after you've been sorted.
Zakuro: after we've been what?
James: Sorted! -shocked- WAIT. H-how did you get out here? You were tied up and--
Shiori: We wanna hear about sorting!
Mishiga: Yes!
James: -shakes this off- right...there's four different houses in which you can get sorted into. Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff
Shiori and Zakuro: You mean we might get separated? -cling-
James: I wouldn't worry about you two. Family members, for all I know, end up in the same house.
Zakuro: Do you have a family member in your house?
James: Ahaa... No... -sad look-
the four of them walk off of the train
James: I'll see yall later. you guys need to go see Hagrid
Hagrid: *from wherever he is* First years, over here.
Shiori: alright...see ya.
Mishiga: ...Tall.
The three girls group up with the other first year students with Hagrid.
Hagrid: come along now. don' be shy now.
He scouted out at the herd of freshman.
seeing that there were no others needed, he introduced himself
Hagrid: Welcome ta Hogwarts. I'm Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and your escort tonight. Now follow me.
He turned and led the students to the lantern boats, then to the main castle.
Zakuro keeps falling out of her boat, Shiori has to keep taking her back up
Shiori: ...This place... Something about it...
Zakuro: -looks at her-
Shiori stares off into space for a while, Zakuro stares at her, jumps back into the water, Shiori's thrown off track again
Hagrid: I'm gunna turn ya over to Professor McGonagall
the students start to walk over to the other professor.
Hagrid: Except...you two.
he pointed to Shiori and Zakuro
Zakuro: HEY. THE BOAT FELL OUT OF ME. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND, YOUR PRESPECTIVE WAS JUST OFF.
Shiori: Sorry Mishiga...we'll meet up with you after we find out why we're wanted.
Zakuro and Shiori walk back to Hagrid.
Zakuro: So.... What'd we do wrong then?
Hagrid: oh no...no ya didn' do anythin. Dumbledore has granted me with the pleasure of watchin over ya this year. Shiori. Zakura. If you need anythin or have any problems, you come ta me, alright?
Shiori: Can do~!
Hagrid: good ta hear tha'. Now le's get ya off to the others.
Zakuro: ....-looks back at Hagrid in a very non Zakuro-ish way-
Hagrid led the two to the group of freshman right outside of the great hall's doors.
Prof. M: thank you Hagrid, you may go now
Hagrid nodded and left
Prof. M: now as I was saying. once you have been sorted into your house, you will sit at your appropriate table to get to know your classmates. now...in we go
Prof McGonagall leads the children through the doors
Zakuro grabs Shiori's hand
James, Shiori, and Zakuro enter Diagon Alley.
They walk and a candy store catches Shiori's eye
Shiori veers off to store, but pulled back by James
James: We're not here to buy sugary sweets
Zakuro slips away to another store that sells exploding items.
James: Wha-- ... You know what, I'm not even going to bother...
Shiori and James find Zak and take her back on track.
James: Here we'll find everything you'll need for school. your cauldron, wand, animal, books. you know...school things.
Zakuro: THE FRIK YOU NEED AN OWL FOR IN SCHOOL ... ... Oh.. I think I know...-l3-
Zakuro imagines Super Owl man saving her from homework
Zakuro: ... Yeah... Just wait until we get to GEOMETRY
James and Shiori sweatdrop, go on with life
Shiori: How would we pay for this stuff...we don't have any moneyz
The three approach Gringotts Bank
James: Which is why we're coming here first.. I was told you two have an account here.
They walk in and approach one of the goblins.
James: We need to get to the vault for Shiori and Zakuro
the goblin looks at the two girls
Goblin: do they have a key?
James: I was told by headmaster Dumbledore they don't have or need a key.
Goblin: Impossible...I need a key
Shiori: but...we don't have one
Goblin: then you can't get into the vault.
James rummages through his pockets and pulls out a piece of parchment.
James: I have a note from Dumbeldore himself.
Goblin takes and reads the note
Goblin: alright...follow me
They all follow the goblin to the depths of vault hell.
They stop at a vault with no lock
Zakuro: -finally catches on- THIS IS A BANK!?!?!
James: ...-slow clap-
Goblin: This is your vault.. There was instruction for you and your sister to unlock the door by placing your index finger on each side of the door.
Shiori: uhh...sure
Shiori puts her finger on the door, Zakuro smashes it with her head.
Goblin: WHAT THE FU--
Shiori: -sighs- Here....
Shiori and Zakuro put their finger on the door and watch as it unlocks.
Shiori: oh shiznit!
James: well there's your money
Zakuro: WE HAVE MONEY!?! -catches self- Huhem. I mean, yes. Yes we do. We do have money. I'm totally not going to just claim someone elses dough. l< Wait. This isn't money.
James: .... ... This is Wizard Money... What do you think? We're going to be using dollar bills over here?
Zakuro: Yes.
James: In Britin.
Zakuro: Yes.
James: In a society that's grown up apart from the non-magical.
Zakuro: ... ... BEN FRANKLIN CAN BEAT YOUR MAGIC MONEY.
Goblin: JUST TAKE WHAT YOU NEED AND LEAVE. (my god he's a douchebag)
The sisters take what they can carry and run
Outside the bank
James: alright...I think its time you two got your first wands.
Zakuro: -arms full of explosives- YAY!
STAREOFF
James: ...Return those now.
Zakuro: ...I never even bought these
Random Wizard: THIEF!
Three of them: AGGGH!
-Wand Shop Time!-
Enter Ollivanders. Josh greets them.
Josh: Welcome to Ollivanders: "Makers of Fine Wands since...."uhumnum/.3pt font ...I give up. This is the fourteenth time today... Freaking back to school season.
James: ...Josh? Is Mr. Ollivanders here?
Josh: Oh yeah, he's over chatting up the lady from--
James: -holds up hand- I get it, I get it... Hey, Josh, we need to get these girls their wands. Think you could help them?
Josh: I'll see what I can do.
James: alright. thanks...
He turns to the girls.
James: I'll be right back. I need to get a few things myself.
James leaves Zakuro and shiori, hear a squeaking noise, see James being chased by random wizard shouting "THIEF!"
Shiori: ....Who knew! He was still following us!
Josh: ...Interesting... .....Oh yeah. Summer Job. So. Who wants to go first?
Both sisters give each other looks that say the other can go first, but Josh interrupts their little staring contest
Josh: How 'bout you?
He motions to Zakuro
Zakuro: :l ... .... OH. ME?
Josh: yeah! why not? Let's get you a wand. now the question is which one is right for you...
Zakuro: ...I was thinking one that goes with my eyes/stupid face
Josh: Pfft. You really are a first year, aren't you... Here, let me help.
He goes to check out the shelves with boxes upon boxes of wands and takes out a box containing a rosewood wand.
Josh: here...try this
He hands her the wand.
Zakuro tries to use it, but is shocked by an insta-urge of electricity, the wand flies out of her hand and smacks Josh in the head.
Zakuro: I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Josh: -rubs head- It's... alright... -smiles- usually it takes a bit of time to find the right wand... You wouldn't believe what the last girl who came in here did.
Shiori: ...I wouldn't say that. She's already thinking of the thing as a competition
Zakuro: -determined look on face- >3
A FEW WANDS LATER:
A wounded Josh takes the wand from Zakuro's hands and places it back in a box
Josh: ...Very nice, very nice. You've managed to explode the table that went along with that vase... Ollivander's not going to fire me for sure/mocking smile
Zakuro: One more broken thing and we get a free wand!
Josh: -looks back, shocked- What!? When did I say that!?!
His hand hovers near a dusty old box, he thinks a bit and then decides to go for it.
Josh: This one seems to have an energy similar to your own. perhaps it will be the one.
He brings Zakuro a Maple & Black walnut wand and hands it to her.
Josh: go on....try it.
Zakuro: You REALLY want to do this again?
Shiori: it'll be fine Zak. otherwise he wouldn't be trusting you with that wand.
Zakuro waved the wand and they all watched as a wonderous light eminated from the wand signifying its harmony.
Josh: well it looks like we've found you a wand. It looks good with you
Zakuro: ... ....Do it again owo
Josh: -smiles, smile falls when he realizes he has another customer- ...CRAP. You too? THIS ROOM IS GOING TO BE SO--nevermind, nevermind. Just come here, I hate this job anyway.
Motions Shiori forward
Shiori: right....guess its my turn.
Josh: Well, at least you know how this works now. A good three hours and we'll have a wand choosing you as well.
He went to the shelves and found one that seemed suited for Shiori
Josh: this one's called the secret keeper.... this wand will help you understand the mystery within yourself. go ahead
Shiori: ...That's so beautiful! No wonder they hired you!
Josh: ...I was just reading the label on the box. :/ ...try it.
He handed the wand to Shiori. Everyone flinches
The energy within the wand merged with Shiori and locked a bond between their power by creating a glow that spiraled around her wrist
Shiori: Guess that's a good sign, right?
Josh nods
Zakuro: -looks up from hiding- WHAT. I MISSED IT!? IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I MISSED IT!? What happened to the other half of the room blowing up? Thwacking him in the head?!
Josh: ...You found that fun?
Zakuro: N-no, I'm just sayinggg...../LIELIELIELIE
Shiori: My own wand... Hmmn.. Now what to pay you... What did James say again about currency? ... Ah! Okay, here you go!
Shiori hands over some gold, Zakuro hands Josh a few more coins
Zakuro: That should cover the charges! ...And your medical bills
Josh: Please...for you, I'll charge only half price
He hands her back half of what she gave.
Zakuro: >/ WUT. Are you kidding me? I took me forever to figure out what to give you!
Shiori: ... Actually, I was the one who figured it out.
Zakuro: True. But it's not right.
Josh: It's alright, really. It's not every day that my job is made simple.
Zakuro: ... ...I blow up half the store, break and bruise your body and you call this "simple".
Josh: ...Y...es.... ...First Year Discount?
Zakuro: Take it. >:0
Josh: *sigh* alright.
Zakuro and Shiori: Thanks for the wands
Shiori: ...And not killing us!
Before they leave Ollivanders, Josh ninjas half of what Zakuro paid back to her gold pouch.
The two meet up with James outside of the wand shop; Really quick balloon of Ollivander's "WHAT JUST HAPPENED IN HERE!?!!"
James: Wha? That was fast! Did they kick you out!?
Shiori: Wha-- no!
James: -sees Shiori's wand, in his mind- ... That wand.. How strange...
Shiori: ...Are you okay?
James: Ah- yeah! I'm okay. We need to get you your books now.
Shiori: -tosses him a look- I see....
James takes the two to the book store
Inside the store, Mishiga was clinging to a bookshelf, her parents trying to drag her away. a group of wizards surrounding them, staring at the scene
Mishiga: WAAHH I DUN WANNA GOOOOOOO!!!!
The parents let her go. Mishiga, not prepared for the lack of pulling, falls to the ground.
Smish's mom: -graceful harumph- fine! But if you get in trouble, don't come crying to us!!
Mishiga: wow...thanks for that mom. That's just... beautiful.
The parents leave, random wizards follow after with longing eyes at the fleur.
James, Zakuro, and Shiori approach the Mishiga
Zakuro: are you alright? You must really love this pillar, eh?
Mishiga: No... What?
James: J...Just forget it.
Mishiga: -shrugs- Welll, I'm fine but my parents are being weird. I'm going to my first year at Hogwarts so they think they need to tell me everything I need to do while being overprotective.
Shiori: its Zakuro and my first year too, we honestly don't know what it is really... Wait...overprotective of what?
Mishiga: Well, as I hate to admit, I'm half Veela. -harumph-Mom's a full Veela-- that's how she met wealthy old Pa and--
Shiori and Zakuro: a what?
James: It's a sort of... Well... Um... Let's just put it this way: Veela are the inrefutable hot chicks of the wizarding world. Full Veela aren't human but tend to disguised themself as women.... ... Very hot women.
Mishiga: yeah...that. by the way...My name's Mishiga~
Zakuro: Nice to meet ya. I'm Zakuro
Shiori: and I'm Shiori
James: My name's James (lol rhyming) <- HE IS TOTALLY SAYING THAT
Mishiga: Cool! ...So you're first years too?
James: Well, I'm going to my second year. I'm helpin these two get their supplies. -strikes a pose-
Shiori: ....What's with him?
Mishiga: -annoyed- He's caught in my curse... It happens to most boys...
Shiori: -smiles- Okay then! -FACE PUNCH-
James: WHAT. WHAT WAS THAT.
Shiori: -shrugs- You were googgly eyeing Mishiga.
James: Oh... Oh yes. Sorry. SO BOOKS.
James pulls out two pieces of parchment and hands them to Shiori and Zakuro
James: these are your classes. each class should have a text book you'll need.
Mishiga: If it's alright, can you help me with my supplies as well? my parents kind of ditched me.
James: It's fine with me!
Shiori: >/ Of course it's fine with you! ... And sure, don't want to leave you all alone, do we?
Zakuro: Do we?
Zakuro, Shiori, Mishiga, and James get their books
Shiori: Zakuro and I have different books...is this right?
James: uhh...lemme see your classes?
Zakuro and Shiori hand over their class lists.
James: interesting
Mishiga rejoins the group with her books
Mishiga: what? something wrong?
James: These two have different classes, yet both are first years...
Shiori: How does that work?
James: I dunno, but apparently you,Shiori, have Care of Magical Creatures which doesn't really become available until your third year.
Mishiga: Is it a mistake?
James: nah...there's a reason for it, most likely. Zakuro...your classes look normal
He hands back the schedules.
Zakuro: ...I'm not used to "POTIONS" and "HISTORY OF MAGIC" being 'normal' classes, but sure.
....So... What are we still standing around for? We done?
James: I believe so. let's pay and move on, shall we?
People go up to the front, Zakuro digs in to get the money
Zakuro: -Rage- NO. OH NO HE DIDN'T.
Shiori: W-what happened? Did we loose our money!?
Zakuro: WORSE. THAT JOSH KID GAVE US PART OF IT BACK.
Shiori: Well that was nice.
Zakuro: >0 -begins to run off-
James: OH NO YOU DON'T. WE'RE NOT GETTING BRANDED AS THIEVES AGAIN. NOT HERE. PAY THE MAN.
Zakuro: BUT THE MONEY. HE PUT THE MONEY BACK!
James: I HAD TO RUN FIVE MILES TO GET AWAY FROM THE LAST GUY: NOT AGAIN. I HATE RUNNING.
Shiori: -takes the money, pays- :/
James: Hey Mishiga. you gotten your familiar yet?
Mishiga: well uhh....no...
James: well that makes three of ya.
The group travels to Eeylops Owl Emporium
The girls browsed the selection of owls, rats, toads, etc.; Shiori <3-ing over all of them
James: -watching Shiori, thinking- ...First the wand... Now the classes... No wonder Dumbledoor showed such interest in this girl... -looks over at Zak who is making faces at owls- ...Her I don't get, but he's never been wrong before...
Shiori finds a barred owl with a bright orange beak.
Shiori: He's pretty~ *__*
James comes to see Shiori's choice of owl
James: He looks sturdy...powerful...
He walks to find Mishiga (Smish gets an owl right?) in front of the owl she found fit for her.
James: So.... You come here often ;D
Shiori chucks a rat at him
James: -still tries to keep his cool-
Mishiga: -could care less- I want this one~<3
James: It's very pretty a fine choice for, -Shiori tosses a cat at him, misses- ... Ah what's the point.
James walks up to Zakuro who's staring eye to eye with a strange owl
Zakuro: HE'S SO CUTE~!!!
James: You want THAT one?
Zakuro: YES <3
James: What are you stu... It's head is six times bigger than... He looks really ol... ....alright.
The shop keeper comes to greet the group
Keeper: I see you've found an interest in the owls
James: ahh, yes...we'd like to purchase the three owls of their choice.
Keeper: OH-HOH! Now really? -arm around James- alrighty then, friend. which ones would they be?
The three girls brought forward the attention of the birds they wanted.
Keeper: all fine choices.
James: -face falls- Wut. Even...
the keeper pointed to Zakuro's owl.
Keeper: Actually been waiting a while for someone to choose him.
The girls purchased their owls and departed from the store.
Outside, they found an area where they could put their stuff down
Mishiga: Can we have a cart or something? It's rather hard carrying everything..
James: -ALMOST tries to flirt again, looks at Shiori, forgets about it- right...hold on a sec.
He leaves and returns with carts
Shiori: Thanks James~
James: -charming smile- no problem...you all still need what...cauldrons?
Zakuro: One year for halloween Shiori and I made these CAULLLLDRROOOONNNS filled with CANNNDY CORNNN and PEAAAANNUUUUUTS. :3
James:O...Okay then. Anyway...I think after that, we'll need to get your robes and other clothes and then I think we'll be done.
Mishiga: Shouldn't take too long, right?
James: not at all... Here, would you like some help with that? -holds Shiori's books while she puts Czar in her cart-
Shiori: Thanks~ I think we're ready to go...now wherefore we get these cauldrons?
Mishiga: I think I saw them selling cauldrons over there
James: then over there we shall go
Shiori: ...Of course.
Time cut. (honestly how pointless to draw out getting everything we need...)
The four students are at the end of Diagon Alley, sitting with their new school supplies.
Shiori looks up at the sky
Shiori: It's starting to get dark...
Mishiga: Hmm... We should probably get inside soon though-- I hear there's going to be a full moon tonight!
James becomes wide-eyed and scrambles to his feet.
James: we...should go...yes....go. I hear that there's a room waiting for you at the leaky cauldron.
Zakuro: what's the hurry? I still need to get that Josh-kid his money back >/
James: what? oh...uhh...well wouldn't you want to get a good night's sleep? The Hogwarts Express leaves tomorrow morning.../SWT SWT
Shiori: I...guess that makes sense
Mishiga: You never know what's out wandering the streets here anyway...
James: lets go!
Zakuro: all right all right
the girls stand up and they all head to the leaky cauldron.
James retrieves a room key and gives it to Shiori
James: ok your room is 1337. I'll be back to take you all to the train station in the morning. Be ready at 8
Shiori and Zak snort, Mishiga and James obviously don't see what's so funny
Mishiga: You're not staying with us?
James: sorry...no
Shiori: ...why not?
James: I have......other things to do.. but I'll be back tomorrow!
before anything else could be said, James ran off.
The girls ran upstairs to their room and prepared for the night and the day ahead.
~SLUMBER PARTYYY~ lol no...XP <-(Zakuro: BUT I BROUGHT MY TRUTH OR DARE THONG)
Zakuro: what kind of stuff do you think James had to do?
Shiori: I dunno...but whatever it was sounded important...
Mishiga: yeah. why else would he run off like that?
Shiori: either way...at least he'll be back in the morning.
Zakuro: ...What are you guys, in love with him or something?
Shiori blushes, Mishiga >Y: Both smack Zak with pillows
Mishiga: you know...we haven't named our owls yet
Zakuro: OH OH OH!! Mine's gunna be named Elvis lD
Mishiga: .....uhh.......ok? I guess I'll name mine Rinka
Zakuro: Wanna know why I named my Elvis?
Shiori: Cute~ I'll name mine...Czar. That seems to suit him well. we should go to sleep if we want to have any sort of energy tomorrow
Zakuro: But but but, DO YOU WANNA KNOW?
Mishiga: Sleep? I'll agree to that~
Zakuro: :C sleep
the three disperse to their beds and fall asleep...or at least...Mishiga and Shiori fall asleep
~The Next Day~
The girls are awake and ready
They check their trunks to make sure they have everything they need. Zakuro goes to slip out the window
Shiori: ...So... Um...
Zakuro: I'm returning the money! >/
Shiori: Oh, no you're not! James said to be ready at 8-- we're not going to spend a day looking for you instead!
Zakuro: But---
Theres a knock on the door
James: Yall ready to go?
Zakuro: DANG IT.
The girls assemble their belongings and meet James in the hallway.
Shiori: woah...what happened to you? *Reaction to James' messy appearance*
James: nothing...nothing at all. just didn't have a lot of time to get ready this morning is all...? So we're ready to go?
Zakuro: N-
Everyone, including James, slap their hands over her mouth
Mishiga: yup~
Shiori: Yeah!
James: good~ now lets get going, shall we?
-Scene change to train station-
James: well here we are...platform 9 3/4
Zakuro: ....This. Is a pillar.
Shiori: Is this a joke?
James: no...its magic :3
Mishiga: Don't you run into the pillar to get on the platform?
James: Mhmmn, smart girl! Thats how it works. would you like to give it a go?
Mishiga: uhh...sure?
She makes a run for it and goes through the wall.
Shiori and Zakuro: WTF O___o
James: alright...who's next?
Shiori and Zakuro: .........
James: come on...don't wanna keep Mishiga waiting, right?
Shiori: I'll go
James: alright Shiori~ go on
She follows Mishiga's actions and disappears into the wall
James: Your turn Zakuro
Zakuro: ....I'm going to go run into a pillar!
James: that's the spirit.
Zakuro runs and hits the pillar, falls down
James: ...Wrong one stupid.
Zakuro runs thru the right one
James meets the rest on the platform. the girls are staring in awe at the train and the number of students around.
James: all right all right...come along. can't get to Hogwarts without boarding
Shiori: oh umm..right
James leads the first year girls onto the train and find an empty room (does not know train terms *shot*)
they take their seats and get comfortable
In a few minutes, the train departs for Hogwarts :D
Shiori: sooo...what's Hogwarts like James?
Zakuro: Is it even real? /strapped in like whoa
James: YES IT'S REAL!! -turns back to Shiori- Hogwarts... It's probably one of the best schools in the world. It has the greatest headmaster anyone could ask for.
Mishiga: Dumbledore right?
Shiori: wasn't he the one that told you to get us?
James: one of the same~
Shiori: He sounds like he knows what he's doing
James: he sure does. Dumbledore practically makes Hogwarts worth going to. Helped me out a lot last year...
Mishiga: Helped you with what?
James: uhh...you know....stuff. HEY LOOK! the candy trolley!
the trolley comes by, offering magical goodies
trolley person: would you like something from the trolley?
James: yeah I'll take one of everything covered in chocolate<-GJ on your diet James
he turns to the others
James: do any of you want anything?
Shiori: *to trolley person* yeah! I'll have whatever he's having~ :3
Trolley person: -wide eyed... Disbelief, twitching- Will that be all?
Mishiga: I'll just have a box of berty botts every flavor beans.
Shiori: Zakuro, you want anything?
Zakuro: no thank you. I'm good.
the children pay for their noms
Trolly Person: Dear Lord I'm going to need more chocolate. -Runs back- HEY GUYS I CAN PAY FOR MY WAY THROUGH SCHOOL AGAIN!!!
Trolley runs back to get more Chocolate
Shiori grabs a box of chocolate frogs
Shiori: These any good?
James: ...All of them are good. -on second thouuught-...though you should prolly grab it before it jumps away
James opened one of his own and ate it
Shiori opened the box and grabbed the lil froggy
Zakuro: aww~ Its a cute froggy
Shiori eats the frog
Zakuro: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OH MY GOD SHE ATE IT! THAT CUTE LITTLE FROG OH MY--!!
The goodies get eaten and shiori wants another time cut
James: I think it's about time we change into our robes.
Shiori: Are we that close?
James: close enough...about 10 minutes I guess till we're there
Mishiga: well then we have no time to lose~
they each leave to change into their robes
Zakuro: Guys. :3 Hey Guys. I'm still tied up...
.....
....Uh. Guys?
TIME SKIP AGAIIIIN~
Shiori: what happens with our luggage?
James: it gets taken to the baggage room where it'll be transported to your room after you've been sorted.
Zakuro: after we've been what?
James: Sorted! -shocked- WAIT. H-how did you get out here? You were tied up and--
Shiori: We wanna hear about sorting!
Mishiga: Yes!
James: -shakes this off- right...there's four different houses in which you can get sorted into. Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff
Shiori and Zakuro: You mean we might get separated? -cling-
James: I wouldn't worry about you two. Family members, for all I know, end up in the same house.
Zakuro: Do you have a family member in your house?
James: Ahaa... No... -sad look-
the four of them walk off of the train
James: I'll see yall later. you guys need to go see Hagrid
Hagrid: *from wherever he is* First years, over here.
Shiori: alright...see ya.
Mishiga: ...Tall.
The three girls group up with the other first year students with Hagrid.
Hagrid: come along now. don' be shy now.
He scouted out at the herd of freshman.
seeing that there were no others needed, he introduced himself
Hagrid: Welcome ta Hogwarts. I'm Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and your escort tonight. Now follow me.
He turned and led the students to the lantern boats, then to the main castle.
Zakuro keeps falling out of her boat, Shiori has to keep taking her back up
Shiori: ...This place... Something about it...
Zakuro: -looks at her-
Shiori stares off into space for a while, Zakuro stares at her, jumps back into the water, Shiori's thrown off track again
Hagrid: I'm gunna turn ya over to Professor McGonagall
the students start to walk over to the other professor.
Hagrid: Except...you two.
he pointed to Shiori and Zakuro
Zakuro: HEY. THE BOAT FELL OUT OF ME. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND, YOUR PRESPECTIVE WAS JUST OFF.
Shiori: Sorry Mishiga...we'll meet up with you after we find out why we're wanted.
Zakuro and Shiori walk back to Hagrid.
Zakuro: So.... What'd we do wrong then?
Hagrid: oh no...no ya didn' do anythin. Dumbledore has granted me with the pleasure of watchin over ya this year. Shiori. Zakura. If you need anythin or have any problems, you come ta me, alright?
Shiori: Can do~!
Hagrid: good ta hear tha'. Now le's get ya off to the others.
Zakuro: ....-looks back at Hagrid in a very non Zakuro-ish way-
Hagrid led the two to the group of freshman right outside of the great hall's doors.
Prof. M: thank you Hagrid, you may go now
Hagrid nodded and left
Prof. M: now as I was saying. once you have been sorted into your house, you will sit at your appropriate table to get to know your classmates. now...in we go
Prof McGonagall leads the children through the doors
Zakuro grabs Shiori's hand
