"James! Sirius! We're leaving now!"
The two boys quickly ran downstairs the next day, then had been planning how to do their first prank, but, as both boys pointed out more then once during the discussion, it was rather hard to plan if you didn't know what your surroundings looked like, or what you would be using.
All the same, they had tried.
They used a car, though both boys protested.
"Can't we fly or something?" James complained. "We are wizards, shouldn't we be able to?"
"Yah, cars are so boring," Sirius agreed.
"You are going to have to wait until later to apparate, and besides, it would ruin all the Muggle-Protection Acts we have been installing the past few years," James' mother explained.
"Muggle? That sounds like a breed of dog!" Sirius laughed.
"It's what is called a non-magical person, person with no magical blood."
Both boys nodded. They spent the rest of the way continuing their talk from the previous night.
Soon they reached London. They were walking around; when James spied a small shop he had never seen before.
"Is that the Leaky Cauldron?" James asked.
He was correct, as they entered it, and opened a brick wall to reveal a street full of people, and shops.
"Come on, James! Let's check out that shop down there, it's bound to have some magical pranks!"
"Not just yet! You two have to get your school supplied first!" James' mother insisted, and handed them some money in the form of large golden coins.
"Er, mum? These are large golden plates, not money." James commented.
"Galleons, dear. Run along now, here is your supply list," she handed it to him.
They rushed through the stores as fast as they possible could, trying to get everything done quickly. The split up to get potions and books, so they could get done faster, then went into the store near the end of the street.
"Look at this!" James exclaimed, pointing at some Dungbombs.
"Those must be good for something! Get some of those! And these, Fireworks!" Sirius exclaimed, filling a little cart with items.
"We need some games also, how about Exploding Snap?" James asked eagerly.
"If it has the word "Exploding" in it, we have to get it!" Sirius answered, grabbing it from James.
They were soon home, and testing their new purchases in the back yard.

Lily sat in the back seat, squashed between the window and an overly large violin case, which Petunia "conveniently" placed in the middle, because she was still sore about having to stop at this pub.
"Where did you say this was, again?" Lily's dad asked.
"In London, near the mall," Lily's mom reminded him.
"Do we really have to spend my precious time at a stupid magic shop?" Petunia complained.
"Yes! I could ask the same of your violin!" Lily told her.
"But I actually did something to deserve it!" Petunia returned.
"But you don't do it well!" Lily answered.
"Girls! Stop that! We are nearly there!" Her Mother called to the back seat. The girls contented themselves with glared for the rest of the ride.
"You two wait in the car, Lily and I will go in," Her mom told the other two.
"Good! Who would want to see a bunch of freaks anyway?" Petunia asked snootily.
Lily ignored that last comment, as she and her mom exited the car and walked into a small pub.
"Um, excuse me? Where can I find Diagon Alley?" Lily's mother asked a waitress.
"Right through that door over there, as you don't have a wand," the Waitress answered.
Lily and her mother walked through a door and saw a street filled with people and many shops. Her mother was stunned.
"L- Lily, stay here a moment, I am going to go tell you father that we are going to stay here for a little while, and to pick us up later."
Lily was left to examine the passing people. There were shorter people, and green people, and people who didn't look like people at all, and they were all wearing black robes. Lily and a few others were the only ones out of place.
Lily's mother returned, and they exchanged their Muggle money for Wizarding money and started getting Lily's school supplies, only to return home with her father and a very annoyed Petunia later.
