"Ok, now what

"Ok, now what?" asked Remus, surveying the muggle mall with slight suspicion in his gray eyes.

They were in the main doorway of the biggest shopping center in London (supposedly), looking thoroughly bewildered at all the muggle-like shops, and gazing wide eyed at everything.

They had gotten there by floo powder, coughing and choking and spinning terrifically fast, straight into a friend's fireplace. A friend who lived opposite a huge muggle mall.

Sirius looked around, giggling every so often. "Let's get something to eat and then have some fun."

A particularly loud rumble from James' stomach, the owner of which grinned accordingly, punctuated the suggestion.

"I agree. Lets go eat first."

So, with James and Sirius dragging the wide-eyed Remus behind them, they made it to the food court and sat down.

After waiting impatiently for a few seconds, Sirius started complaining to James about the pathetic service muggles had, James agreeing weakly (he was starving, a valid excuse for any weakened person).

Remus, meanwhile, observed some other muggles get up, go to one of the many fast food 8places bordering the tables, and bring back food.

"Guys?" he ventured, quieting a loud and noisy Sirius, and a whiny James.

Correctly taking their sudden silence as an invitation to continue, he carried on. "Look at all the muggles. They have to go and collect their food, maybe we have to as well."

James and Sirius blinked. After a second, they both cheered loudly, and, ignoring the odd looks they were getting, raced up to the counter of a MacDonald's. Remus followed them slowly, mourning the fact that he had to tell them that they had no muggle money and, therefore, could not buy any food.

'Nancy' stared at the retreating trio and turned, distressed, to her fellow coworker, whose nametag read 'Bob'.

"Bob," says she, "you saw those three kids?"

Bob nodded, and she continued, horrorstruck. "Bob, I think I let their grins get to me, because I think I just gave them a meal each." She paused, a dreamy looking glazing her eyes over. "But Bob, their grins, they were so charming, how could I say no?!"

Her worker image thus protected, she turned to the next customer.

Bob nodded again. Now, Bob might have been a bit slow, but even he knew that meals had to be paid for. Fortunately though, he had also seen what girls are quick to see: Those grins had been disarmingly charming.

"Nancy was a nice girl, wasn't she, giving us food for free." Commented Sirius, popping a fry into her mouth. "She had a nice butt too."

Remus elbowed him, not so gently, but was drinking his coke, so he couldn't say anything, but James grinned.

"She wasn't too bad, Padfoot, but Lily's is nicer."

"Speaking of Lily," started Remus, who had finished his coke by now. "Have you gotten her a Christmas present yet?"

James' face, previously in a lovesick expression, fell. "No. I just don't know what to get her. I must say, it's the worst thing about having a girlfriend, buying presents all the time."

"But you don't have a problem with her buying you presents?" asked Remus, grinning.

"Of course not! Why would I?" replied James, grinning back.

Just then, Sirius broke in. "James, there's the shop where you are going to buy Lily's present!" he pointed, with a mischievous glint in his eye that belied his solemn expression.

Inside the shop in question, they could see racks and racks of items, with tiled pathways winding through. The shop was filled with women, and across the doorway hung a sign, decorated with mistletoe, that suggested why no men were anywhere in the shop. The sign read, in big letters with smaller letters beneath:

Victoria's Secret

A lingerie store for all occasions.

AN: I know, I know, its short, but it seemed like such a cool place to end!! Two things though.

  1. This isn't exactly set in the 1970's when they really lived (did they really live then?) but more like 1999 or thereabouts. I dunno. Makes it easier to write. Shrugs
  2. Lily will be in the next chapter!! Yay! Peter wont be in this story because a. I don't like him.

b. All our lives would be better without him.

And c. I say so!!

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA*wheeze*HA!!! Ahem. O.o;

So anyway, other chapters might be longer…Hope you enjoyed this, please review!! ^^
