Diagon Alley

She followed the book's instructions by going through a wall in Aomori Shinkansen station, magically she arrived at England in a blink of an eye. She found “The Leaky Cauldron” and navigated through Diagon Alley.

She exchanged money at Gringotts Bank.

“Can I open an account?” Asked Natsu.

“Sure, by the way what’s your name?” Asked the bank employee.

“Tanaka Natsu,” She answered.

“Oh, your family name is the same as the one who had deposited 427 years ago,” The bank employee said.

“But this family name is so popular in Japan,” She said, confused.

“But in this bank, there are just two people who use the bank account with this family name, Tanaka Ayato and Tanaka Tsukiko,” The bank employee said.

“They are my ancestors!” Natsu exclaimed.

“Okay, Tsukiko wrote in her testament that her money will be entailed to her magic inheritor, Tanaka Natsu, 427 years later,” the bank employee told her.

“So can I withdraw the money from Tsukiko’s account and change her name into mine?” Natsu asked.

“Sure! Tsukiko also wrote in her testament that she cast a spell on her account. Only the true inheritor can withdraw the money,” The bank employee told.

Natsu withdrew the money and prepared to buy other things.

She went back to the Leaky Cauldron shop and bought a standard pewter cauldron. Then she stopped at Ollivander's wand shop. But as she was about to choose a wand, Mr. Ollivander stopped her and said:

“A wand chooses its owner. You must try it first.”

Natsu was quite confused about this. ‘A wand that chooses it’s owner?’ She thought.

Ollivander then measured Natsu's arms, legs, hands, and height, and had Natsu try on wands that seemed suitable.

“Ah, this one, holly, unicorn hair, ten inches, just try waving it in the air,” Ollivander said.

Natsu tried waving it, but it felt a little awkward in her hand. Ollivander snatched it back.

“Then, oak, dragon heartstring, ten and a half inches,” he had Natsu try, but it didn't seem right either.

“How about this one, oak, phoenix feather, nine and a half inches,” he had Natsu try again, but this wand still hadn't chosen her as its owner.

“Ah! You're from the East, aren't you?” he asked Natsu.

“Yes,” Natsu replied.

“Then you must try a willow.” "Let's try this one first. Willow wood, unicorn hair, nine and a half inches," Ollivander began to feel confident.

Natsu waved her wand again. Now, she felt warmth in her arm, glowing silver and blue sparks sparkled from her wand.

“This wand is perfect!” Exclaimed Natsu. And Ollivander was certain that this was Natsu's wand.

Natsu paid for it, went to buy her robes and hat, then went to the train station to buy a ticket for platform 9 3/4, the Shinkansen station, and then returned home as usual. As for the animal the school required her to bring, it was Yuki, her Shimaenaga bird.

"Shimaenaga will probably do," Natsu murmured.

School starts in two weeks, Natsu thought.

"Life will be different," Natsu murmured.

Life at Hogwarts is about to begin. Natsu excitedly packed her things to prepare for her departure to Hogwarts.
