Lily Riley anxiously grabbed the letter from the large, tawny owl that had appeared at her window. She could tell it was from Hogwarts. She ripped out the letter.
Dear Ms. Riley,
Congratulations! You have been made a prefect. This is an honor and you will be expected to preform certain duties in some Hogwarts ceremonies. You will also be expected to be a good role model for your peers. Enclosed is your prefect badge. School starts on September 1st. The Hogwarts Express will leave from Platform Nine and Three Quarters at 11:00 a.m. We will see you there.
Sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress
Lily squeaked. I'm a prefect! She hurried over to the phone to call her best friend.
Liana McKinnon was a pure blooded witch, but her family lived in the muggle world and they had always had muggle appliances like telephones and TVs. She answered after about ten rings.
What took so long? Lily asked, before even saying
Sorry. I had Shawn, Tyler, Kyle, and Melinda all yelling at each other, and I couldn't hear anything,
Why are Shawn and Melinda home? I thought he was living in Edinburgh and she was in London. Lily asked. Oh, wait. You guys have that family reunion thing this weekend right?
Yup. It's gonna be great. All the old relatives I see once every three years and my little annoying cousins. Just shoot me, Liana moaned.
Oh, it can't be that bad, Lily laughed.
Yes, it can. And it's going to be worse this year, cause Tyler's Head Boy and I'm a prefect,
Oooo you are? Me too! That's why I called!
This will be great! I wonder if the boys are , too. And the other girls.
Maybe we can all get together and do our shopping in Diagon Alley,
Yeah! But not this weekend, cause I have family hell,
Okay. Hey, If you send your owl to me, I'll write to everyone else. And when we go to Diagon Alley, I am definitely getting my own owl,
Okay. I've gotta go. Hell Time, Liana said.
See ya! Lily laughed.

A week later, Lily, Liana, Dessie Weasley, Alina Sevase, Cienna Barmokar, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew were standing outside the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley, trying to decide where to go first. They had met Peter in their second year. He was a Hufflepuff, so they didn't hang out with him as much as they did with each other. The boys liked Peter, or at least, they seemed to. But Lily wasn't as sure that she trusted him. She knew Hufflepuffs were supposed to be loyal and true, but even till...
I need new robes, Sirius told them.
Well, I wasn't going to tell you that yours were out of style, but since you brought it up.. Liana laughed.
He tried to punch her, but she ducked.
I need books, Cienna announced.
We all need books, Dessie told her.
Oh. Right. Cool! She laughed.
I need to go to Gringotts and change some money. All I've got is... Lily rummaged through her pockets, One sickle and three knots,
And I need owl food, Dessie said.
Ooh, that reminds me. I want an owl, Lily said.
I need ice cream. And candy. And a new broomstick. And some more dung bombs. And fireworks, and more explosives, and some biting teacups, and... James added his bit.
Okay James we get the point, Alina laughed. Why don't we start at Flourish and Blotts?
Wait! I need money!
Oh right. So let's start at Gringott's.

Three and a half hours later, they were finished shopping. The nine teenagers sat around a table at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor.
So. No one's said. Did any of you get made prefects? Lily and I did, Liana asked.
I did, James said.
Ooh, James the trouble-maker Potter a prefect? Lily was in hysterics.
Its not that funny! He exclaimed, blushing.
Yes it is! Cienna was laughing so hard she was almost in tears. You and Sirius work so hard since our first year so that you won't be made prefects, yet here you are - prefect!
Hey, what about you Sirius? Are you a prefect too?
What was that?
Maybe, all right? He cried, blushing.
Ooh he's a prefect!
Remus is too! He said indignantly.
Yeah, well everyone expects Remus to be a prefect!
So that makes it not as funny as you being a prefect.
Hey! I know for a fact that Cienna's a prefect, too! He exclaimed.
How? I hadn't told anyone yet, she asked, confused.
Min- sorry, I mean McGonagall is James' cousin. We saw the list, He told them. Ya know James, it must be really hard for you not to call her Minerva at school. Cause I only call her Minerva when she visits Gryffinclaw Manor over the holidays, and she's your cousin. That's gotta be weird. I'm really glad none of my cousins are my teachers. Specially not the head of my house at school.
You know Sirius, you just make it all the easier to have her as a teacher. Thanks,
Your welcome, bud, Sirius smiled.
Oh my god! Look at the time! Cienna, we have to go! Alina exclaimed.
I have to go, too. There's my brothers, Dessie pointed to three red-headed boys waving to her from down the street.
Bye guys! See you on September 1st! Lily called, as she and Liana met up with Tyler and Kyle, Liana's seventeen year old twin brothers.
The boys called back.
