*~*Chapter 2: Shopping at the Alley~*~
(A/N: I'm adding one chapter everyday, but since this is the first day of my fic, I'm starting off with 3 chapters. . .)
Everyone ambled downstairs and moved into the kitchen, where they saw Mrs. Black cooking up some breakfast. "Good Morning, everyone," she said brightly.
"'Morning!" everybody answered back. "So, you lot going to go and pick up stuff from Diagon Alley today? You only have two weeks left of summer."
"Ahh, Mum, don't remind us!" Sirius groaned.
"Back to pop quizzes, detention, and teachers with bad breath," Lily muttered.
"Hey," James said defensively "I like detention! It credits all of our fine work."
"And it leaves us time to plan for a new prank to pull," Remus offered.
"I suppose we should get to Diagon Alley soon," Ali said.
"Yeah," Sirius added in an off-hand way.
~*~*~*~ At Diagon Alley.
"Ok, I need to buy new quills and ink," Lily said.
"Me too!" James said quickly. Lily arched an eyebrow at her boyfriend.
"But you just -" she started, but James cut her off.
"I lost all the ones I bought."
"Oh, really."
"Uh.yeah."
"Lil, he just wants to follow you," Remus said exasperatedly.
James smiled. "Can you blame me?"
"I want to buy my new books right away!" Ali said excitedly. She loved reading about the magical world more than anyone did, because she was Muggle-born and the wizarding world still fascinated her.
"Oh, uh, we can pick up everyone else's books too, since we'll be there," Sirius suggested. "I'll come too, to help you carry the books and stuff."
Ali looked at him in surprise. "That's really thoughtful of you, Sirius," she said truthfully.
Sirius grinned shyly.
"All I need is new potion ingredients," Remus said, wrinkling his nose. "I hate that store."
"Me too," Sierra agreed. "But I've got to get some lace wing and newts eyes."
"Ok, so it's decided. James and I will go to Flourish and Blotts for quills and ink and parchment; Sirius and Ali will go to the bookstore to get everyone's books (and don't worry, we'll all pay you guys back); Remus and Sierra will go off to the Apothecary together. All set? Ok, we'll meet back at the Leaky Cauldron in.one hour and 45 minutes?" Lily instructed. Everyone nodded in agreement and they set off.
