Chapter 1: Diagon Ally

"LILY!" Petunia shrieked.

"Oh, crap," Lily said. She could hear the owl clicking its beak, expecting a reward. Last time an owl came into the house, well let's just say it took Tuney a long time too get the mess out of her hair. "COMING!" I yelled back. I raced into the kitchen to find Tuney with a pan over her head, crouched in a corner. "Baby," I muttered.

"Shut up! Last time it took me 4 hours to get that bloody mess out of my hair!" She screamed. I took the letter off of the owl's leg and gave him some bread. It was from Hogwarts.

Dear Ms. Evans,

In closed in this letter is your list of supplies for your 7th year at Hogwarts. I hope that you can find all of these items before the start of the year. I would also like to congratulate you on becoming Head Girl! Your pin is in the envelope. Hope to see you soon!

Sincerely,

Professor McGonagall

"OH MY BLOODY MERLIN! DAD!!!! MUM!! I MADE HEAD GIRL!!!" I shouted. I heard running footsteps and both of my parents embraced me in a bear hug.

"That's my little princess!" Dad said, glowing from head to toe.

"I'm so proud of you, Lils!" Mum exclaimed. Petunia sat on the couch and glared at me. She's been jealous of me ever since I made it into Hogwarts and she didn't. Whatever, she would just have to deal with it.

"I'm going to go to Diagon Ally to get my things, be back in a jiffy!" I said while turning once and leaving with a pop. "Hmmm, I need a new Ancient Runes, HoM, and Potions book," I said, talking to myself. I walk down the street and see that everyone is in a group and no one is walking alone, but me. Whatever, I think to myself, I'll only be here for like 2-3 hours, I can manage.

I walked into Flourish and Blotts and started browsing the aisles. Then I saw the messy black hair and the crooked glasses that I hate so much. I turned to make a run for it but it was too late, he saw me.

"EVANS! Hey wait up!" He screamed across the store. Oh God, I thought to myself. He grabbed my arm and spun me around.

"Yes?" I ask coldly.

"Oh come on Evans, do you still hate me?" He asked as guilt washed over me. I couldn't help it, his hazel eyes melted and I felt like I was looking at an innocent puppy. No, I think to myself, I hate him, he will not trick me!

"Yes," I say, turning to leave. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back around.

"Fine, but you can't shop alone, I know your parents aren't here because they're muggle born and my mum would never allow you to shop alone. MUM!" He shouted before I could get away.

"Yes, James?" She asked sweetly, walking towards us.

"Mum, this is Lily Evans, Lily, this is my mum," James said politely. Wow, I didn't know he could be polite.

"Oh, Lily, I've heard SO much about you! I'm so glad to finally meet you! I was beginning to think that you were James's imaginary friend!" She exclaimed.

"SHUT UP MUM!" He said, blushing slightly.

"Sorry pumpkin!" She smiled innocently.

"Yeah, pumpkin-boo!" Sirius came up behind them. Remus and Peter followed snickering.

"Anyways, Lily came here alone and I was wondering if she can shop with us so she doesn't hurt herself, she's very clumsy!" He said annoyed trying to get the attention off of himself.

"Oh my Merlin! Lily, do you know what times these are?" Mrs. Potter asked concerned.

"Actually, no I don't. I'm muggle-born so it's hard for me to stay connected to the wizarding world," I smiled sweetly, why couldn't I just leave and finish my shopping alone?

"Oh! Well, you must come with us; it's far too dangerous to go alone!" She exclaimed.

"What's next on your list dear?"

"Well, I need new school robes," I answered. We walked two shops down and entered the robes store. No one was in there, so I was taken very quickly.

"Come in to this dressing room, Darling," The clerk ushered me in to a tiny room.

"I'll come too!" James shouted.

"No you won't!" Mrs. Potter scolded, dragging James back by his ear.

"OI! LET GO!" James squealed. Next they went into Quality Quidditch Supplies so that James and Sirius cold get new brooms. After, everyone went into the Three Broomsticks and got some butter beer.

"Thank you for letting me shop with you, but I really have to get back home," I said after 2 hours of non-stop jokes.

"Anytime dear," Mrs. Potter smiled. I went to disapparate when I heard James.

"Evans, wait!" He called. I turned.

"Bye," He said with a goofy grin.

"Bye," I smiled. Right as I was turning I felt a kiss on my cheek and I was gone with a pop. I smiled for the rest of the day.
