Chapter 6 - Into London
"Where's Sirus?" James asked Remus later that day. "He isn't in the Quidditch supply store, the owner hasn't even seen him."
"I dunno, is he in our room?" James shook his head. "Prongs, he's somewhere. You know Sirus, always taking off whenever he wants." Remus laughed. "He probably found some blond and is busy with her."
James laughed at that too, but he was more worried about it then Remus. Sirus usually tells him before he takes off. 'Well, I guess I was a little busy with Lily this morning.' he thought.
"Jamsie!" A voice rang out. James turned to see Arabella coming towards him. "Common, let's go shopping! Remi, you too!"
"Don't call me that!" James and Remus yelled at her, but they got up and walked towards where Lily was waiting. They headed into the book store.
"What can I getcha?" the man behind the counter asked.
Lily handed him her list. "5 copies of each of these."
The Standard Book Of Spells, Level 5
Advanced Transfiguration Book 2
More Potions and Ingredients, the 43rd Edition
Discovering Your Future, Good Or Bad
Beyond the Stars, Advanced Astronomy
1001 Herbs, Deadly but Precious
Lily pointed at the 2 at the bottom. "Only 2 of these though."
Muggle Justice System
Muggle Government
Advanced Arithmancy
The clerk found all the books and put them onto the table. The 4 people took out their money. "I'll pay for Sirus." James said. "He can pay me back later."
They paid for their purchases and headed out the door. "Any thing else on our lists?" Arabella asked Lily, who was looking at it.
"Hmmmm, oh sorry Bella." she said, not paying attention. "Ya, we are missing some books." she looked at the list again. "Yup, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes." she looked back at the store. "This is a muggle book though. There's got to be some mistake."
"No mistake Miss Evans." Dumbledore's voice rang out from behind her. "Your new Divination teacher has decided that is what she wishes to teach you this year."
"But why the Discovering Your Future book?" Arabella asked.
"Well, we've got to cover some things, and 5th years must read that book. Ministry standards. But, I doubt you'll be spending much time on it." Dumbledore's eyes twinkled. "I think you'll like the new teacher very much though." he turned and left.
"Well, where do we get these books?" Remus wondered out loud.
"We go into London." Lily said, heading towards Gringott's. "Common, we'll need some muggle money."
Once they exchanged some money, they headed into the Leaky Cauldron. Sitting at the bar was Sirus. "Siri, where you been all day!" Arabella exclaimed.
"Here and there." he grunted. James thrust his books at him. "Thanks James." he mumbled.
"Common Siri, we're going into London." Arabella exclaimed.
"Why?" Sirus asked, mildly interested.
"We need some books from there." Lily said unenthusiastically. She came from a muggle family, so going to London was nothing new to her. Sirus nodded and stood up. The 5 of the headed out the front door of the Leaky Cauldron.
"Whoa," Arabella, Remus and James breathed. They'd never been in London before. All the buildings, people walking quickly, wearing muggle clothes.
"Whoops!" Lily said and pulled them back inside the Leaky Cauldron. "How could I be so dumb!" She waved her wand and transfigured their robes into muggle clothes. "Let's go back."
This time they entered the bookstore to the right of the Leaky Cauldron. Remus, Arabella, James and Sirus wandered in and out of the rows, astonished by the weird assortment of books. Lily asked one of the salespeople where they could find the Sherlock Holmes books. She pointed towards the back of the store.
Lily quickly found one and picked up the copies they needed. She went to find the others. Sirus was busy looking at a sports magazine. He looked in awe as it talked about sports he'd never heard of, like football, baseball, and rugby. Arabella was looking at a fashion book. She'd never seen such beautiful dresses. James was laughing at a supposed witchcraft book. It was so fake!
Lily dragged them all to the counter. Counting out the muggle bills, she paid for their purchases and they headed back out the front.
"Can't we stay a little longer?" Arabella whined. Lily rolled her eyes, but shook her head. Frustrated, Arabella entered the Leaky Cauldron. Lily changed their robes back to normal.
"Hey! I liked that outfit!" James said. Lily smiled, but headed up to her room quickly.
"What's up with her?" Remus asked. Lily had seemed a little distant since this morning.
"I don't know." James said staring after her.
