Hi. Sorry for the late chapter. I'm trying my best. This chapter may seem strange to you(it did to me, somehow) i havent seen this chapter since early January 2010.

Each group looked at each other before looking toward the headmaster.

"What are puffballs doing here?" asked Shadow.

"I don't know…" Amy trailed off. Amy saw Kirby's face.

"Poyo!" Kirby said.

"Awww!" Amy said and ran over to hug Kirby, "He is so cute!"

Meta Knight inched slightly away from her a little bit. They heard a cough. All eyes turned toward the headmaster.

"Greetings," said Professor Dumbledore, "as you can see, you have arrived at your destination. I am Professor Dumbledore and I am Headmaster of the school Hogwarts. Are we happening to be missing someone?"

Everyone glanced around. Then a third portal opened up and haggard looking Knuckles came into view. He had left the Master Emerald under the care of the Chaotix, however, if needed; he could summon the Master Emerald to this world.

"Hey, Knuckles, where you've been?" said Sonic.

"Getting ready," Knuckles said, "I owe the Chaotix a lot of money now."

"For taking care of the emerald?" asked Sonic.

"Yes, and for accidentally almost blowing up their ship by accident when I fought with Dr. Eggman," said Knuckles.

"Well, it appears we have everybody. Now then, I will give each of you a pouch of money. You will use these to buy the books you need, your wand, and a pet if you want to," said Dumbledore.

Dumbledore turned to a wall near him and tapped several different bricks on the wall. The bricks suddenly separated and formed an entrance to an alley.

"This is Diagon Alley, where you will find all the stuff you need. Go to the Gringotts bank and withdraw money from your account. We have already set up your accounts so that you may withdraw or deposit currency. I've already taken some of the currency from your home worlds and exchanged them for our currency. I will hand you your keys to your account later. The accounts have already been filled with a reasonable sum of money from your homeworld account. You will need to purchase some books and a wand. You may purchase an optional pet; however, you have to take care of it yourself. Here are the train tickets, you must go to Station 9 ¾ for the Hogwarts Express train." Professor Dumbledore said while handing them keys to their personal vault.

Dumbledore apparated away and left the two groups standing there. Meta Knight and Kirby were the first people to enter the alley. Sonic and Shadow were next, and then the rest of Sonic's gang soon followed. They headed toward the Gringotts bank. They noticed the amount of stores that passed and the strange items in there.

"Even though the Professor gave us a map, I hope we don't get lost," said Tails.

They soon arrived at the bank, considering it was very big, and saw an inscription on the door. The Pop star residents still remained unusually quiet. They read the inscription:

Enter, stranger, but take heed

Of what awaits the sin of greed,

For those who take, but do not earn,

Must pay most dearly in their turn.

So if you seek beneath out floors

A treasure that was never yours,

Thief you have been warned, beware

Of finding more than treasure there.

They looked at the inscription and wondered why it sounded so gloomy.

"Well, Rouge, you probably shouldn't steal from here," Knuckles chuckled.

"Well, I won't. It's probably full of junk anyway," said Rouge, who was secretly thinking about stealing something.

They entered the bank and were shocked to find little goblins owning this place. They calmly waited in line for quite a while. When they got to the goblin, the goblin looked at them strangely.

"We are here to open and withdraw money from out accounts," announced Sonic.

"Do you have your key?" asked the goblin staring at them. They all showed them their key. The goblin nodded then signaled another goblin to come. The other goblin signaled them to follow him. They loaded into the black cart.

The cart rocketed off to a speed that could rival Sonic. It turned left and right so much it was hard to remember how many turns it had gone through. It stopped with a sickening lurch. Knuckles and Amy were green in the face. Kirby and Tails were hiding in their seats. Meta Knight, Shadow, Silver and Rouge were unfazed. Sonic had a smile on his face and wanted to do that again.

"Vault 892" the goblin said.

"That's me," Rouge stepped up and handed her key to the goblin.

The goblin took her key and unlocked the safe. Rouge's eyes sparkled as she saw the amount of money in the vault. She quickly took a bag, and stuffed a lot of the gold, silver, and bronze coins in it. She left the safe. They all piled back into the cart, though some of them went reluctantly. The cart sped through the many mazes and stopped eventually.

"Vault 921" said the goblin. Silver stepped up and handed his key to the goblin. Silver then took an average amount of money and stepped back into the cart carefully. The cart sped on.

After each of them had gone through all the vaults, they noticed that only one hour had passed since they had gone to the vaults.

"Well, I suppose we should get our books," Tails said.

Sorry, I have gotten an annoying writer's block that prevents me from updating any of my stories. There are some missing parts(I think) however, PM if you want me to add more and i will try to continue.

Again, I apologize for this late chapter. The first chapter was an experiment to see if anyone would actually read this.

Note that I might not be able to update often and there may be a long period of time between this chapter and the next. I try to keep chapters at 1000 words minimum but this chapter has below that.

Sorry,
