1 Chapter 3: James and Sirius
After getting the money they needed from gringotts (they asked around) they started off splitting up so they could cover more ground.
After leaving Flourish and Blotts a wizarding bookstore she was laden with a teetering pile of books, parchment, quills, and inkbottles. Hope nothing bad happens Lily thought doubting it even as she thought it.
As she was crossing the cobble stone street she heard someone shout "Watch out!!" before she was thrown backwards in a whirl of books and paper.
She tried to shout out but the wind was knocked out of her as something landed on her. As the hurricane of paper finally settled and she was able to breath again she looked up to see what was still on top of her. It was a boy to her great surprise. And a cute one at that she thought.
"Hi" she said in surprise
The boy who had been preoccupied looked down and quickly said:
" Oh hi sorry bout this. I was walking with me mate Sirius over there and ran into you. Oh by the way I'm James what's your name?"
"Lily and I kinda can't breath so if you wouldn't…" but what she was about to say was cut short by a shout across the street.
" Hey man I know you like girls and all but you barely know her. Besides she probably can't breath." It was the friend James had said about.
Blushing slightly he got up, brushed himself off, and helped her up.
" Sorry I didn't properly introduce meself. I'm James Potter and this is my mate Sirius Black." She shook both of their hands and introduced herself.
"I'm Lily Evans."
"Oh dear James we're in trouble look who's coming this way" Sirius muttered. Lily turned to see a slightly livid mother walking up the street.
"What on earth did you two do now."
"Mum" James piped up. "This time we're completely innocent. We were walking up the street and bam me and Lily here" Lily gave a weak smile "collided."
"Well we're awfully sorry about this mess. Hold on a second." Mrs. Potter waved her wand and all the busted inkbottles and strewn books and parchment flew into a nice neat pile near lily's ankle.
"There you go dear. Sorry about the trouble." Mrs. Potter said. "Come along you two."
Lily saw the looks on their faces and piped up:
"Um they just offered to show me around Diagon Alley. I mean if you don't mind. I mean."
"Well I guess. But be back to the leaky caldron by night your sister will meet us there ok?"
"Yes Mum" "Ok, Mrs.Potter" "Nice to meet you Lily dear." With that she set off down Diagon alley.
"We owe you one and we just met you thanks." James said.
"It's alright but you owe me a tour of Diagon Alley." Lily replied.
