DIAGON ALLEY
*************
Lily and her father stumbled down the invisible steps of the wonderful Diagon Alley. Well...what Lily was assuming was London.
Mr Evans had told Lily to wait right where they had "landed". He was going to go to Gringotts. The wizarding world's bank.
Lily waited and waited!
When 20 minutes passed by she decided to look for Gringotts.
Out of nowhere, a handsome, very handsome guy whom Lily figured was about a couple of years older came out of the fireplace.
A beautiful younger looking girl followed the boy. The two looked a like a lot.
Another ten minutes passed before Lily got her courage together. She went up to the strangers and asked them if they had the slightest clue where Gringotts was.
The boy answered to her that indeed he knew where to go. As he said this he flashed Lily one of the most wonderful smiles she had ever seen in her life. She fell in love with that wonderful smile.
The girl flashed her an evil grin. Like as if she was jealous. Was she?
The boy told his father and the others that he was going to go and show this lovely young girl where Gringotts was. Lily blushed when the boy had said "this lovely young girl". He thought she was pretty. She blushed inspite of herself.
The man which Lily was assuming that was the guy's father said "Oh...okay! That's very nice of you James! Jess why don't you go with him?"
"Fine" replied a rather sourly girl.
****Lily's guides looked like so:
Boy: unruly black hair, chocolate brown eyes, muscular, nice tan, very thick glasses, had a mysterious aura about him.
Girl: Straight beautiful black hair, nice tan, well formed.****
Then the boy spoke "Hi my name is James Potter! And that's my best friend Jessica Halloway!" he pointed to the girl.
"We've been best friends since we were toddlers. And were both Eleven. And on the first of September were going to Hogwarts! How about you?" he asked kind of tilting his head.
Lily couldn't believe it. He was 11 years old and he looked like a god.
He looked like he was 14 if not older.
The girl looked like Lily a lot; she seemed to have the same attitude.... the only thing that Lily didn't have the same as the girl was the colour of hair.
Finally coming out of her gaze Lily replied to James.
James kind of gave her a, are-going-to-speak kind of look.
Lily was thrown out of her daydream.
"Oh...sorry! My name's Lily Evans, and I'm pure blood. I'm going to Hogwarts also. Do you guys know how to get on platform 9 and ¾? Because I've been to the train station before and there isn't a platform 9 and ¾." Lily replied a bit nervously, kind of rambling on.
Swishing her beautiful hair as she turned to face James. James saw the cute gesture and liked it. James doubted she even noticed she did it herself. She was beautiful he admitted to himself as he continued to observe Lily's every features. And she wasn't like any of the other girls he dated. She seemed full of life. She seemed smart. Funny. All sorts of things James couldn't catch. They walked for a long while before any one spoke.
Finally James broke the silence. "Oh.here's Gringott's".
Lily saw her dad come out of the bank and waved over to him while screaming her lungs out.
"Hi dad!!! I'm over here!!!" Lily cried to her father.
"Oh hi sweetie! You do make friends fast don't you? Will they be going to Hogwarts??" asked a rather curious Mr Evans.
"Yes dad, they will be going to Hogwarts with me!" Lily paused before she spoke once more.
"Won't your fathers get worried James and Jessica??" said Lily quite happy with the outcome of the day.
She had at least made some sort of acquaintances with people who were going to the same school as her.
"There they are, maybe after the shopping we could meet up at the Leaky Cauldron to have a butterbeer! " Replied an anxious Jessica, pointing at her own father and Mr Potter.
Jessica could already see that for the next week James would be talking about; Lily. She would be his next crush, if she wasn't already.
Jess, loved her friend deeply so she wished that Lily wouldn't return the same feelings. Yet she knew that she was dreaming far beyond into the impossible.
"James!!!!!!!!Jessica!!!!!!!!!! There you are!!" yelled a Mr Halloway. "Hello Sir. And Lily isn't it? We were thinking of letting the two of you go do the shopping and us going to the Leaky Cauldron! Is that alright? Hey aren't you part of the Ministry of Magic, Sir?" asked a curious Mr Potter.
"Why yes I am. A Fudge man tried to take my spot, but I'm not about to give up my job, even if I could of retired some years ago!" Mr Evans said to the two men he barely knew.
He then gave his attention to Lily and said "Lily! Would you like to go shopping with your friends if you don't mind, and maybe I will also go to the Leak Cauldron!!!!"
"That's fine Daddy! I will go and shop with James and Jessica. At least if that's okay with you guys!" she said looking at James and Jess.
"Sure that would be great!! I was going to invite you, but hey this is even better!!!" said James very happily tilting slightly his head once again.
"Sure, why not!" replied Jess a little sourly.
"Okay.you three go off and get your supplies. I want you back at the Leaky Cauldron in about 4 hours! That should give you all enough time to find things!!!" said sternly yet nicely, Mr Halloway.
"Okay let's go!" said James motioning to his two friends!!!
***************************************************************
An hour and a half later
Olivander's Wand shop!!!!!!!!!!
***************************************************************
The three were walking, they so far had everything except for their wands and they're animals.
All they needed to do was find the wand shop. Then they would go and find their believed animals.
Then Lily spotted it.
It was those yellow eyes again.
She was walking next to James. She all of a sudden grabbed his arm and rushed him on.
Before being clobbered by the many salesmans, still trying to get James to buy some weird candy!!!
Lily was getting hungry and was considering buying some candy, until the man started saying his candy selection consisted of chocolate frogs (Lily knew they didnt exist!!) and tons of other stupid things of the sort, such as Newt's Lols (newt flavoured lollipops) (Lily knew they didn't exist also) so they just kept looking for the wand shop they still hadn't found!
When Lily finally found the shop their was a small sign you practically had to be face to face to read it. It read- Ollivanders: Maker of Fine Wands since 382 BC.
Lily, James and Jess all walked in.
The place was a little weird. The first thing Lily spotted was a wand on a pillow. It seemed pretty old since it was full of ages of dust; literally. Well...compared to most of the other wands at least.
All of a sudden, they heard a *pop* and a man came in to the room.
The man was short and looked fragile, yet none the less a handyman.
The man made a brief introduction!
"Hello dear students! My name is Ollivander, fine maker of wands; here we make our wonderful wands out of unicorn hairs, phoenix tail feathers, and heartstrings of dragons.... We have a variety of wood used. Also, no two of Ollivanders wands are the same! Any questions?" he took a quick breath and when he noticed the mesmerized faces of the students, he continued on.
"Well then, off to the measuring, how many wands is it now? 2??? 3???" said excitedly Mr Ollivander!
"Oh hello Sir, I'm James, That's Jessica" he pointed at Jess "And that over there is Lily!" he pointed to Lily "And that will be 3 wands today sir! We all start at Hogwarts the first of September!!!" replied a rather proud James
"Oh you three will have much fun at Hogwarts! Are you all first years, cause you do seem older James! No offence girls!!!!"
"No sir, we're all the same age! We're all eleven!" replied Lily sweetly
"Oh okay! Well then I would like to go with you first, Jessica isn't? He said pointing at Jessica.
Jess advanced nodding. The first wand she tried was the right one; it was 7 and a half inches long, pliable, beech wood, dragon heartstring and one maple feather! In general it was good for most subjects.yet a very unusual match. James took a while to find but he finally found his match (after all it isn't the owner that picks the wand! its the wand that picks the owner). James had a mahogany wand, eleven inches, pliable, a little more power and excellent for transfigurations. Lily was the one that took forever. After what seemed like an eternity her wand picked her and Lily got ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. Nice wand for charm work. Jessica paid, 6 galleons for her wand, James 12 galleons and Lily 12 galleons and 2 sickles.
They left the store with just about 45 minutes to spare, luckily, the pet store was easy to find. They entered the pet stored and found a lot of unusual pets, they saw everything, from cats, to owls, to dogs....
Lily was allowed to have a dog and also an owl!!!!
When she first walked in she saw a magnificent golden retriever! She instantly fell in love with the dog and bought it!
She also bought his necessities. She found a dog food bag that refilled itself automatically, some toys..some dog bones....
Then almost like Harry's Lily found a snow-white owl! The owl was different because it had spots on its belly and had some how a sort of black eye (black spot covering the eye). She also bought the owl and its necessity's.
James needed a little bit of money to buy his owl so Jess and Lily helped him. Jess bought a nice cat and was almost taunted to buy an owl but had James and Lily's promise to be able to use their owls, since cats and owls don't really mix as best of friends!!!
They left the pet store with about 20 minutes to spare and decided to have some ice cream!
Lily and James had the same ice cream, which Lily paid for. It was chocolate, with chocolate chips!
Jess had some weird looking stuff she called good! They made it back with everything, and with about 2 minutes and 35 seconds to spare.
The fathers said their goodbyes and they all went home happy.
During the next weeks, (before the 1st of September) James and Jess barely saw each other since James had visited a lot at Lily's house. Jess had been invited but hadn't wanted to go!!
James became friendlier and friendlier with Lily; he met Sirius a few times and thought he would get along well with the guy.
James and Lily even had plans to go to the station together. Lily was to come over and sleep over at James' house for 2 days and they were to head off to the station!!!
END OF THIS CHAPTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
