A/N: another chapter! Please review, because I don't think anyone did.
Lily smiled as she remembered the episode at Zonkos. Then she looked a little puzzled, as she thought over matters in her mind. The dream she had had really freaked her out, and maybe her fright that day had something to do with it.

"Yo, Sirius! Catch"
Sirius ducked as James threw a dungbomb at him. It landed in a crowd of mean looking crusty old people. The foursome of kids smiled sweetly and tried to look as innocent as a group of four teenagers could. An old wizard with a face like a grouchy iguana's glared at them and muttered something about "young people these days" and "respect for elders" and "when I was a boy, teenagers knew their place." James had to stifle a laugh, because he recognized the old wizard as Henry Oaksnorter, and his grandfather had told him hours of stories about what a hell-raiser he had been at Hogwarts. James started snorting and choking as old Henry ranted on about how "when I was young, disobedience was only a word in the dictionary" and "how can they let these hellions run loose? In my day, discipline was much stricter, and we were better for it!" and he remembered his grandfather's story about the levitation charms, the 600 toads, and accidentally setting the Hufflepuff girls' dormitory on fire.
Sirius, being a good friend, wanted to help his fellow Gryffindor in distress. In his sincere efforts to get James to stop choking, he slapped him on the back so hard that he was propelled three feet forward and landed in a nearby puddle with a resounding splash.
Lily tittered, but secretly she thought that James looked really hot with his robes all wet. James struggled to his feet unassisted, and remarked, with exaggerated bitterness, "If a Lethifold had been strangling me, you would have just gone to the Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer and left me to my fate."
"Oh no," Lily teased, "If a Lethifold was strangling you, we would have stayed to watch. I could get extra credit in Care of Magical Creatures if I took notes."
"Enough of this bickering, comrades," Sirius announced grandly, as if he hadn't started it in the first place, "we have shopping to do! The material components of hours of marvelous pranks await. Onward to Zonko's!"
AN2: ok, maybe it didn't have much about zonkos, but I didn't feel like it. It's my story, so HAH HAH!
