xXx A Little Bit Earlier than the Last Scene xXx

As soon as the family walked into the shop Kanade disappeared into the racks of clothing without saying a word to anyone whatsoever.

By the time she reappeared, Harry was up on the male fitting stool, which for some reason that neither Tiffania nor Mine could figure out, had no privacy measures to ensure the young man's modesty is protected.

Mine looked over at Kanade and noticed that she had several articles of clothing in her arms. "Let me guess… some odd hobby you developed to pass the time?"

"Well… I had near infinite resources to make clothing with… and with the frequency at which clothing got destroyed in that world, it kind of became a necessity to long term survival." Kanade admitted.

"I'm sure. So of course you automatically figured out your exact measurements when you got here, didn't you?" Mine asked.

"And I have been keeping track as I grow into my body, yes." Kanade said. "I'm almost back to where I was before being brought here… which leads me to believe…"

"You're going to be curvier here!" Tiffania said in a singsong.

"Yeah, that was what I figured." Kanade stated while blushing.

Suddenly a blonde kid walked into the store, ignoring the presence of everyone in the store as he jumped up onto the tool next to Harry and stated "Well?"

'Oh my Kami' Mine thought to herself in regards to the arrogance this kid just displayed.

Harry glanced over to the pompous kid and asked "First time to Hogwarts?"

The kid stared at Harry as one of the tailors started measuring him up, "Of course, and you?"

"Yes, what house do you think you will be in?" Harry asked.

"All my family has been in Slytherin. I think I would just about die if I were placed in Hufflepuff, bunch of duffers. What about you?"

"I don't really know. I suppose I will find out when I get there. Apparently my parents and their friends were in Gryffindor, though supposedly one of my mother's friends was one of the best Slytherin's to come out of Hogwarts in ages, so I really don't know." Harry said. McGonagall had regaled the family with stories of the antics of Harry's parents, though the fate of Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew were apparently a sore spot for the woman.

"As for me…" Kanade began speaking now that Harry had finished his answer, only for the blonde kid to interrupt her rather rudely…

"Excuse me, there are men talking here, know your place."

At that statement Mine, Tiffania and Kanade all frowned at the young man. Harry had a confused expression on his face but knew better than to speak with the low level of killing intent that had begun to roll off of Mine and Kanade. Tiffania didn't really know how to produce palpable killing intent, but Harry could still tell she was upset by what the blonde had just said.

The blonde turned back to Harry and said "Women! Anyways, as I was about to say, you would do well in Slytherin House. All the best sorts go to that house."

"I think I will wait and see where my friend and sister end up. In the meantime, I never did get your name." Harry said.

"Oh well I am Draco Malfoy. And you are?" the now introduced Malfoy heir inquired.

"I would be Harold Westwood." Harry said, not really wanting to introduce himself properly to someone who had just ticked off three of the women in his life.

Tiffania smiled at the fact that Harry had decided to take her name. Harry would have taken Mine's surname, but it brought bad memories to her.

"Ok, that is you done dear…" the woman working on Draco said.

"Well I suppose I will see you at Hogwarts then. Good day." Draco said as he gathered the clothes that were laid out for him, went to pay and then left the shop.

As soon as he was out the door Mine screamed out "MUST REPRESS URGE TO SLAUGHTER BLONDIE!"

Tiffania laid a hand on her fellow matron and said "Do calm down dear, he is only a child, I doubt he truly knows the consequences of what he was saying."

Mine shot Tiffania an incredulous look but chose not to say anything more on the matter.

Just then a harried looking Deedlit and a completely relaxed looking Nymph came in from the other room with their two tailors in tow.

"Is everything alright?" Deedlit asked looking at Mine concernedly.

"Fine, just a kid that reminded me of some of the people back home is all." Mine said with a shrug.

"Oh, is that all?" Nymph asked as she walked over to stand next to Kanade. She then looked at the clothes that Kanade had in her arms, "That… is an awful lot of clothes."

"A girl can never have too many clothes." Tiffania said in a casual manner.

Deedlit, Mine and Kanade all nodded in agreement. Nymph and Harry both shuddered. Nymph mainly because she was used to wearing far less than the people of this planet were apparently accustomed to wearing.

"Okay dear, I will have your clothes ready for you in a moment. Otherwise you are all set. Ladies do you have the clothes for the two young ladies you were working on?" the tailor that was working on Harry asked.

"Yes'm Madam Malkin we do." the older of the tailors said.

"Very good. Now if you and your family could wait by the teller's station I will will be with you in a moment young Harold." the now named Madam Malkin stated.

"Please Ma'am, it is Harry. I just said that was my name because I felt that Mister Malfoy was being incredibly rude to my friend and had offended my two Kaasan's." Harry introduced himself to Madam Malkin.

"Harry? You wouldn't mean… Harry Potter, then would you?" Madam Malkin asked.

"Yes, that is right." Harry said.

"Then I think it was very wise of you to withhold your identity from that young gentleman at least until you get to Hogwarts. His family is not the sort you want to get involved with. Oh his mother is alright I suppose, but his father is one of the worst sorts if you don't mind my saying so. And Malfoy Senior has taught his son all of his worst inclinations." Madam Malkin explained.

"That is very useful information, thank you Madam Malkin," Mine stated, "Now come along Harry-kun."

"Yes Kaasan." Harry stated as he grabbed his things. Fortunately Madam Malkin had let him retain his pants while she was measuring him up, so Kanade, and now Nymph weren't really exposed to anything they hadn't already seen, much to Harry's immense relief.

Once everything was bought and paid for the family bid farewell to Madam Malkin and her girls, and left the shop to do other things.

xXx Magical Menagerie xXx

"Okay, so the supply list says you can each bring a pet with you to Hogwarts. Do any of you wish to have a pet?" Mine inquired, "Know that if you get one, you will be entirely responsible for the care of said pet."

Deedlit decided to chip in an idea at this point, "I think the four of us should combine resources and buy a single Owl so that we can communicate with those of us staying at the compound. The Owl will be the responsibility of all four of us, and not a single one of us."

"I like that idea," Kanade stated.

"Seems good to me." Nymph agreed.

"Okay, I also would like to purchase one other pet for each of you Nymph and Kanade, so pick something out." Harry said as he gestured for Nymph and Kanade to go search for their new pets.

Both Nymph and Kanade blushed at Harry's generosity.

In the end it turned out that Nymph got adopted by a recently weaned Sun Bear cub. She decided to name her new pet, or familiar as they learned they were called in the Magical World, Sunny.

Meanwhile the thing that ended up adopting Kanade as it's mistress completely freaked out the person in charge of the shop as she had no idea that they even had such a creature.

"You have to understand, that this creature is classified as a four X dangerous creature by the Ministry of Magic. According to the Ministry these birds require specialist knowledge, and only skilled Witches and Wizards are allowed to handle them." the shopkeeper explained to Mine and Tiffania.

Mine looked at the bird that was preening under Kanade's gentle caressing of it. "I honestly think she can handle it. You aren't really familiar with Kanade-chan. She is more than capable of handling something that might be dangerous."

"If you say so. Now that will be… 30 Galleons for the Bear, and I am afraid I must insist on 100 Galleons for the Occamy." the woman said.

"Here you go." Harry said as he counted out the money that the woman asked for.

Once that was done the family bid farewell to the store clerk and left with their newly acquired pets. Apparently Owls had to be procured at a different store.

xXx Eeylops Owl Emporium xXx

Harry, Kanade and Nymph looked around in wonder at all of the owl's that were in the shop. However to everyone's surprise a snowy white owl flew down from the rafters and alighted upon Harry's shoulder and gave his ear an affectionate nip.

Suddenly the clerk of the shop hurried over and said "Careful, that Owl is a dangerous one, she will harry anyone who tries to buy her."

"I think she is perfect." Nymph stated as she petted the Owl on the side of the head.

Kanade nodded in agreement, so Deedlit stated "Well I have no problems with her. What shall we name her?"

It was Kanade who thought of a name, "Yuki. It translates as 'Snow' but can also be used as a word denoting travel, I think it is perfect for a Snowy Owl that we will be using to carry our letters."

"I like it." Nymph stated.

The Owl herself clapped her beak in appreciation.

Deedlit smiled, "Seems she agrees, well that is settled then." She turned to the clerk and asked "How much for Yuki?"

"Er… 5 Galleons I suppose." the clerk said.

"Okay, each of you will contribute 1 Galleon, I will supply the rest as I feel that I will be making more use of her as a teacher than you will." Deedlit stated.

There was a chorus of 'Okay's' as everyone got their money pouches out and paid the money they were asked for. Once that was done the family bid farewell and left the shop.

With that done, their shopping for the day in Diagon Alley was completed. The family summoned the Knight Bus, which somehow was able to appear within the Alley itself despite what seemed to some of them might be the obvious danger with such a thing. They then departed the Alley and returned back to their compound. Tiffania had recently used her powers over nature to clear away a road leading into the nearby village from their compound, so there was now somewhere for the Knight Bus to actually park when it arrived at the Compound.

"Harry-kun, could you come in here please?" Mine called out to Harry through the house.

A few moments later Harry walked into the room, "Yes Kaasan? What did you need?"

"I wanted to give you a belated birthday present. Here, take this belt. This belonged to a friend of mine. When wearing it, you can activate it at will. This will greatly enhance all five of your natural senses, as well as increasing your natural regenerative capabilities rather significantly. It will allow you the ability to locate known enemies over vast distances. It will increase your physical attributes such as natural strength, endurance and ability to jump tremendously. The trump card ability is to heal physical injuries at a massively accelerated rate.

"It does have a tendency to make you crave meat more than any other food type, and it will give you more animalistic habits. When activated you will even grow animal like traits, most probably from a Lion. The name of this Teigu is Animal King: Lionelle. I suggest not activating it around people like that Draco Malfoy child..." Mine stated as she handed Harry a peculiar looking belt.

"Thank you Kaasan!" Harry said in no small amount of awe.

"Oh! One more thing, this belt will not heal you from injuries that are inherently magical in nature… well at least I don't think it will." Mine stated.

"Right, thank you Kaasan, I will keep that in mind." Harry said with a deep bow of respect as he left the room.

xXx Saturday, August 31st, 1991 xXx
xXx King's Cross Station xXx

The family had finally gotten around to officially filing papers with the Muggle Government to have themselves all named Westwood after Tiffania, even if the Magical side of the Government was unlikely to accept that fact in the case of at least Harry. Deedlit had of course sent Yuki with a letter updating Minerva about the change in names for everyone.

Minerva had written back informing the Westwoods that she wholly approved of the change, even if she personally feels that Harry should keep Potter in his name in some way, as a tribute to his parents.

Kanade however decided to keep her original surname as she did not consider it proper to take Harry's new surname until they made their relationship official. Not that she had told Harry that she was planning to marry him someday, but she was, she could see no other option for her.

Thus was it that the Westwoods, plus Kanade, piled into Mine Westwood's newly acquired Austin FX4, that had been modified for usage by a private citizen instead of a taxi service, and made the trip from Sherwood Forest to London.

Minerva had been kind enough to inform them that the Hilton Hotel situated near to Kings Cross Station was accustomed to having customers with odd choices in pets as it regularly had Wizarding customers. It was one of the few hotels near the station that even allowed pets and as such the Wizarding Populace tended to make extensive use of it at least twice a year.

As such the family had booked four rooms at the hotel. One for Mine, one for Deedlit and Tiffania who had resigned themselves to considering themselves sisters, one for Kanade and Nymph to share, and a final room for Harry himself.

Once they got there and were settled in for the night, everyone bid each other a good night and got some much needed rest, as the kids and Deedlit had a big day the following morning.

xXx Sunday, September 1st xXx
xXx Bright and Early in the Morning xXx
xXx Kings Cross Station, Muggle Side xXx

The six members of the Westwood Party made their way towards the barrier between platforms nine and ten. Unlike many other people they were not overly bogged down with luggage. Deedlit had the astoundingly brilliant and fashionable idea to convert four Fanny Packs into what she referred to as 'Bags of Holding' and the four going to Hogwarts had stashed all of their non-living cargo into those.

As such the only things really bogging them down were the two bird cages that Yuki and Razor were in, as well as the bear cub that Nymph, that she had in a harness and leash, was walking like a dog.

Mine fortunately had the foresight to obtain a license for the family to own and handle rare and exotic animals from the Muggle Government. It had been necessary to show it to a few concerned people during the trip from the hotel to their platform, but it had allowed them to be left relatively alone on the Muggle side of the station.

In what seemed like no time at all, the group found themselves standing in front of the barrier.

"Okay, so according to Minerva, we just walk straight into… the wall… boy does that sound stupid. Okay, I am not asking any of you to do this until I have done it first." Mine declared as she started walking straight at the wall with a determined look upon her face.

Seconds later she had vanished, apparently disappearing into the wall. Tiffania glanced around and hummed to herself before saying "Apparently there is some sort of magic field on the barrier to make it so the mundanes don't notice when people disappear like that."

"What would someone call something like that?" Deedlit asked, "The closest I can think of is to call it some sort of Abjuration… but I don't think that is correct…"

"Probably not, but it is the closest I can come up with for what it might be." Tiffania said. She then motioned for the kids to head through the portal, which they did. First Harry, then Kanade. Nymph picked up Sunny and went through last of all.

"Well I suppose we should go through then Onee-chan." Tiffania stated.

"You're never going to stop calling me that, are you?" Deedlit asked.

"Well… maybe… once we both bag Harry-kun… maybe then." Tiffania stated.

Deedlit started sputtering for several moments before she got out "But Harry thinks of you like a mother, that would be almost the same as actual incest!"

"Your point?" Tiffania giggled out as she disappeared into the barrier.

Deedlit just stood there staring incredulously at where her adopted sister had just disappeared to. After a few minutes to calm down, Deedlit too, disappeared into the barrier.
