It was eleven by the time we got to Diagon Alley.

James insisted on floo calling Remus and Peter so they wouldn't miss out. Only to find that Peter 'couldn't make it'.

"It's okay Reena," James said a bit too enthusiastically, "You can be a replacement Peter!" I wrinkled my nose. I never really liked him much.

First, we went to Madam Malkins, to get robes. Then we went to Flourish and Blotts. Once we walked in, Sirius checked the list. Everybody had to get different books.

"Okay, so we need the Standard Book Of Spells: Grade Six..."

I grabbed two of each of the books we needed. That's when Sirius stopped.

"Sirius? What's wrong?" I asked as I ran into him.

"We need to contact Snape."

"What? Why Sirius?" I looked at the list, at the bottom, in tiny little letters, as if the person writing it was almost scared to write it.

You must only bring one copy of each parenting class book.

Lucky for us, Snivellus had just walked in.

"Hey Sniv-! Ouch!" Sirius was cut off by me pinching him.

"Hello Severus! How's your summer been?" I asked politely. "It was good until I got that letter from Hogwarts." He sneered, I already felt like punching him.

"Well, it says on the paper that we only need one copy of each book for class. So I was thinking, to make life easier for you, I'll take care of the books." I offered, dying inside as I said it.

Snape looked up in surprise.

"This isn't some kind of prank, right?"

"Of course not, Severus. I just figured that, since you have more classes than me..." I trailed off, hoping he'd get the point.

"Okay then. I guess you can buy them of you want to"

I smiled at him nicely. "Okay. See you at school, Severus!" I said in a fake cheerful tone, hoping he didn't notice.

As Snape walked away, the trio of boys walked up behind me. Each looking more skeptical than the next.

"What was that?" Asked a bewildered Sirius, whose eyes were wide.

"I just figured that we should be nicer to him. You know, since he's our partner." I answered, glaring at him, "You should all make an effort. We have to deal with them all year long t hos year"

I walked away, to the next store. I turned around and smirked when I saw that they were following. I had these boys wrapped around my finger.
