Chapter 2

Padme awoke the next morning with an owl screeching talkatively in her ear. It was Lily's owl and he had a letter. Padme should have known it was Lily's owl, Bowie, as he was just as chatty as Lily was. She opened the letter.

It read, in Lily's rushed handwriting :

Dear Padme,

You're going Hogwarts supply shopping today, aren't you? Well, so am I. Meet me at… Flourish & Blotts at 2.

Rose will be there. Cya!

Lily xx

Rose was Ron and Susan's daughter. She had a younger brother, Hugo.

Padme wondered why Lily wanted to see her in the Library. Lily hated books.

She went downstairs. The smell of pancakes engulfed her. She loved pancakes. Lily would be jealous.

She smirked at the thought.

"Hi Mai," said Hermione when she reached the bottom of the stairs. "Have a nice sleep?"

"I guess," she answered. "You making pancakes?"

"Nope. French Waffles."

"Yum!"

"Well, if you sit down you can have one."

"Okay. Where's dad?"

"Emergency Auror meeting."

"Oh," said Padme, while eating her waffle.

"Don't worry, he will be back at around 4." Said Hermione, looking at the clock.

"But what about our trip to Diagon Alley?"

"Well, Ginny, Lily, you and I will go by floo. Or car." She said. "Ginny would prefer floo, though. Doesn't like the idea of travelling on a 'metal cart with wheels' that you control by yourself." Hermione added, laughing.

"Come on, Padme, Lily's probably there already!" Said Hermione, walking toward the fireplace.

"Coming!" Shouted Padme from upstairs.

She came downstairs, with her Light Blue shoulder bag around her waist.

Padme stepped into the fire, and said the location clearly where she wanted to go ("Diagon Alley!").

Next thing she knew, she was standing in front of Ginny, with her mother close behind.

"Hiya, Mai," Said Ginny.

"Hi Aunt Ginny," Said Padme, peeing over Ginny's shoulder to spot Lily. When she didn't see her, she said, "where's Lily?"

"She's in Flourish & Blotts. Oh yeah, she told me to tell you to meet her there."

"Okay, bye!" She said as she dashed off, leaving her mother shaking her head, and then the two women talking something about jobs.
