Chapter 1

"I'm going to Hogwarts in two days!" I sang, running into my brother's room, interrupting him sending an owl away.

"Yeah. I know. You say that a million times a day," he said, rolling his eyes.

"So. Who were you sending that to?" I asked.

"Sirius. We're going to Diagon Alley today, hoping he can get away from his parents. They've locked him in his room all break."

"Oh. Well, can I come? I can't believe I've never met your friends! I need to!" He frowned, but I quickly jumped in. "I don't have to be with you the whole time. I'll just meet you then...walk around. Please?" I begged.

"Alright, fine. But you have to leave us alone when I tell you to," he relented.

"Okay! I'll go change!" I hurried off, excited to meet my brother's friends.

!

"They're probably not here anymore cause you took so long to get dressed, "James grumbled as we entered the Leaky Cauldron.

"Oh, I'm sure they're here. Who am I looking for?"

"A chubby guy, a bookworm, and a-"

"Unbelievably handsome guy?" I heard a voice say behind me. "Is that what you were going to say?"

I turned around to see just that. He stood tall over me as he looked at us with stormy grey eyes. He had dark hair that fell perfectly into his eyes, and I could tell he had a well muscled body.

"More like a man whore," my brother said, but I could hear the relief in his voice from seeing his friend. I snapped out of my trance, and looked at the two guys next to the tall one. There was the short, chubby guy, and a cute guy with chocolate hair and eyes. My brother started to talk to that guy, totally forgetting about me.

"So, how did the-"

"Um, James? Jamsie!" I called sweetly. Stomping hard on his foot.

"OW!" he said, looking back at me angrily. "What?"

"Sorry, I just had to get your attention. You were forgetting about me!" I said, smiling at him before turning to his friends. "Hi! I'm Izzy, James' sister."

"Hey, Izzy. Nice to meet you. I'm Remus," the cute guy, or, Remus, said.

"Come on, Moony. You don't need to be so formal. She's just the girl version of Prongs! I'm Sirius!" The tall, dark, and handsome guy said, grinning and pulling me into a tight bear hug, like we were old friends. I liked him already.

"Hi!" I said back.

"I like your hair," the fat guy said. I glanced over at him, and started laughing. He had just been standing there, eating chocolate, the whole time-

"Why are you laughing?" he asked, offended, with chocolate on his face. That just made me laugh harder.

"Sorry, um...no...reason," I tried to say between giggles.

"Wow,Prongs. Your sister's a spaz," Sirius murmured to James.

"Hey!" I said, hitting him lightly.

"I never said it was a bad thing!" He protested.

"Hey, um, Izzy. Leave now. Please. We need to talk about...things you don't need to hear," James said.

"Alright," I pouted. But then I smiled at everyone else. Not him though. "Bye!" I said cheerfully, then I walked away.

After getting a drink and spending some time in Madame Malkine's, I went to my favorite store: Surefoot's- Wizarding Shoe Ware with a Flare. I absolutely loved shoes, from stilettos to converse, and I've got a sick obsession with boots. I walked in and saw my personal heaven. Shoes of all type, size, and color. Sure, some were hideous, but most were gorgeous! It's similar to a muggle store I love, Journey's, but it has many more shoes, and some can fly, or sing. But I usually stay away from those. I was drawn to an aisle of all boots, when someone came in and slammed the door.

"UGH! I hate James Potter!" she said to no one. My ears perked up, and I looked towards the door. A girl, whose face I knew so well from my brother's many pictures he'd stolen, stood there looking furious, but also embarrassed at shouting in a store.
