"I...I don't actually know who told us. But Angel might die. We have to get in to find a cure. Er. What's a Muggle?"

"Non-magic person. And Angel...Callistie's friend?" Rita looked mildly alarmed. "You need in to save him? What about the doctors?"

"Oh, well, um, have you seen our school? I don' think any of us qualify as 'non-magic' any more. What's wrong with Angel, it's some kind of magic poison, you see. 'Cause of he's a vampire and normal ones wouldn't work on him. So...yeah. Will you please help us?"

Rita weighed her options, and sighed. "Come along, then," she said, rolling her eyes and leading the way into the pub.

"'lo Tom," she said with a quick wave. "These are a few of my students. From the American school I told you about." A toothless man behind the bar smiled at the group.

Rita led the way to the back, where there was a brick wall. She pulled out her wand and tapped a series of bricks, and the wall split, revealing a busy street.

She turned back to Zero. "All right, that's Diagon Alley," she said quietly. "Stay away from Knockturn Alley if you can, as it's dangerous. But you should be able to find what you need at the apothecary, I'd think. And when you're done, you get out through here again.Best of luck."

And with that, she disappeared into the crowd.

Pippi watches Rita walk away.

"Right so... Knockturn Alley first then?"

"Hang on, let's figure out who's looking for what." Parker stopped in the middle of the street, stared around a second, then went, "Whoa. Okay. We need a Bezoar Stone and unicorn horn shavings, and we need them quickly. We'll all look for them, but who wants the apothecary, and who wants this 'Knockturn Alley'?"

Xander raised a hand. "I'll take the apocatheor--um. Drugstore. But get I get in a quick 'Bezoar Stone WTF?' Because where I come from bezoars are freaky little brainsucking monsters that like to hide in your double-fresh Grade A eggs. Please tell me we're not looking for something that came out of one of those?"

"If it's a stone, then no. According to legend, a bezoar is a stone from the stomach of a goat," Rory replied. "So I'll go on apothecary duty with you, Xander."

Re: The Leaky Cauldron - Charing Cross Road, London

"Yay goat stones!" Xander shook his head. "And it's a sad, sad day for mankind, boys and girls, when Xander Harries says that sincerely..."

Rory frowned. "Do you think we need to change money? Because I doubt my Am Ex is going to do us much good."

Re: The Leaky Cauldron - Charing Cross Road, London

Xander nodded. "Yeah, probably. Looks like there's a bank branch over there." He pointed across the lane.

"I volunteer for the dangerous place. I left the mallet back at school, but I can still handle myself. Also," she added, "I speak Brit."

Parker looked at her, and then grimaced. "Riiight. Going with Zero. We'll call if we need bail money. Or maybe we'll just stop at the bank, and withdraw enough to cover most minor felonies."

"Hope magic cops take bribes," Zero said brightly.

"Oh, me too," Parker said dryly. "We'll call you
all when we find something."
