Chapter 1: Diagon Alley

Lily Evans held a young baby boy with jet-black hair and green eyes, she smiled and spun the baby around. The baby laughed full heartily and started to tickle Lily's feet.

"Faith!" Lily yelled, jerking from her dream and sitting upright. Faith fell off of Lily's bed in a fit of giggles.

"Why do you always insist on waking me up like that?" asked Lily as she threw a pillow at Faith. Faith said nothing and just continued to laugh.

"It was that dream again," Lily said lying down.

"The one with the baby?" Faith asked sitting up on her hands.

"Yeah. He's so cute. I wonder whose child he is," Lily wondered sighing and getting out of bed. Faith shrugged and stood up.

"Come on! We have to get to Diagon alley early, before everyone else gets there," Faith mumbled. The two girls got dressed and tiptoed downstairs and into the kitchen where Mrs. Evans stood over the stove, a spatula in hand.

"Morning mum," Lily said softly.

"Morning girls. Are you two off to buy your things today?" Mrs. Evans asked, flashing them a bright smile.

"Yeah," Faith said grabbing several pieces of toast. Mrs. Evans handed Lily some money and the two were off. They took a bus to London and entered Diagon alley through the Leaky Cauldron.

"Come on, we're supposed to meet Sarah at Flourish and Blotts," Faith cried running ahead of Lily.

Even though it was early in the morning, Flourish and Blotts was packed.

"Do you see her?" Lily asked jumping up and down.

"Guys?" Sarah said coming up behind them.

"I found her," Faith said smiling turning around. Lily jabbed her in the ribs.

"I grabbed your books before the rush. I already paid for them, so just pay me back when we get to Gringotts," Sarahsmiled handing over Lily and Faith's books.

"Oh no! Lily, look at who else is here," Faith groaned as the three walked out of Flourish and Blotts. Lily and Sarah turned. Walking straight towards them were James, Sirius, Remus and Peter.

"Maybe they won't see us," Sarah whispered hopefully. James waved and smiled at Lily.

"Maybe they will," Lily grumbled.

"Hey Lils," James said smiling.

"Potter," Lily said flatly.

"Didn't know you three were going to be here today," Sirius greeted

" Well, we are," Faith sighed

"We have to go. More shopping!" Sarahexclaimed pushing Lily and Faith along.

"Maybe we'll see you later then," James shouted looking slightly put out.

"Yeah. Sure! Whatever!" Sarah yelled back.

"I'll never understand these British boys," she muttered.

"You know Lily, if that Potter didn't like you so much he wouldn't come around here," Faith put in after they had left.

"His fan club of one person wouldn't come around here either," Sarah added.

"Peter's not that bad," Lily stated in his defense.

"He's perverted," Sarah said.

"He worships those losers," Faith added.

"He has good qualities too," Lily said.

"And they are?" Sarah and Faith asked at the same time.

Lily opened her mouth to say something but couldn't seem to find the words.

"He...I'm sure he has some," she commented.

"You're just too nice Lil," Sarah muttered heading into Gringotts.

After Lily and Faith had paid Sarah back they headed to Ollivander's.

"Remind me again why were going in here?" Lily asked opening the door.

"Because Sarah broke or lost her wand...AGAIN!" said Faith glaring at Sarah.

"How do you always manage to do that?" Lily asked as Ollivander went hunting for different types of wands.

"Well this time I didn't break it. I lost it," Sarah said testing out the first wand, which caused a chair to catch on fire. Lily and Faith just shook their heads.

"What? Hey at least I didn't get detention 4 times in a row, and in one month," Sarah said jokingly and looked at Faith.

"Filch wouldn't have known it was me who lit all the Flyingwhizzebes in the History of Magic room if Binns hadn't walked in on me," Faith said.

"Why did you do that anyway?" asked Lily.

"Because Binns gave me an A on my essay about Trolls but he gave Mary Finger an O when she copied her entire essay off of me. He's out to get me I swear," Faith said dramatically. Sarah tried out a wand that was 12 inches and had powdered dragon claw in it. It worked perfectly. Sarah paid for her wand and the three walked out of the shop.

"Evans!" a voice called out.

"Oh no," Lily groaned deeply

"Potter," Faith muttered.

"Hey Evans, I wanted to ask you. The first Hogsmeade trip is in 3 weeks. Think you'll wanna go with me?" James asked running a hand through his hair messing it up.

"No," Lily snapped back.

"Why not?" James questioned.

"Because you're arrogant," Lily replied.

"And you make fun of the helpless," Sarah said.

"Oh you mean the whole covering of Snivillus in feathers?" James asked.

"You have to admit that was pretty funny though," Siriussmiled.

Sarah, Lily and Faith all thought 'It was mean...funny...but still mean!'

"We have to go," Faith said looking at her muggle watch.

"Ok. Well, we'll continue this conversation tomorrow on the train then!" James yelled after them as the girls walked off towards theLeaky Cauldron.
