"Mom," said Remus "When can we go to Diagon Alley?"

"Well," she said, "I'd say right now!!!"

"We'll fly into Hogsmeade (Yes Hogsmeade) and get all of your stuff there since it is cheaper, but we will have to go to Diagon Alley to get your wands, so lets get ready to go!" she said.

Then they all went to get there brooms and went downstairs with their lists.

They flew in with no trouble besides one incident when Sirius was standing on his broom and Gemini ran into him sanding him off the broom. Thankfully, Mrs. Lupin had chained his foot to the broom that had auto guide but he was forced to ride the rest of the way upside down while being tickled by Avril. :)

When they finally got to Hogsmeade, they all went to get their stuff.  When they ran off Mrs. Lupin yelled that she wanted them back in 4 hours.

"So" said Lily, "Where should we go first?"

"Well," replied Remus, "Why don't we get our uniforms first?"

"Okay," agreed Avril.

They all went to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions and took out there lists and looked at the uniform.

"Well," said Lily "We should probably get the things that we don't need measuring for first because the line is pretty long" said Lily.

"Okay," said Remus and looked at his list and said, "We can get our gloves, and pick out the colors for our dress robes."

First they went over to the gloves section and each got a pair of gloves that fit, then they went over to the dress robes section and picked two colors out. Lily picked violet and sapphire, Avril picked aqua and green, James picked navy and gray, Gemini picked blue and silver, Remus picked navy and blue and Sirius also picked navy and blue.

Finally the line had shortened and they got into it.  Avril was first.

"Hello, Dear," said Madam Malkin.

"Hey," said Avril.

"Hogwarts?" she asked.

"Yea, first year," replied Avril

"Well," she said "Let's get started with you and your friends."

The lady and her 5 assistants got them fitted in robes, hats, and cloaks.

All the girls left in a very bad mood because of comments about their height.

Next they went into a Flourish and Blotts. As soon as they went in there the clerk came out with seven stacks of books and that raised a question that Sirius asked.

"How many first years have you had in here?"

"About 30," he said "Why do you ask?"

"Just wondering," said Sirius with a slight blush on his cheeks.

"Well you guys need 16 books and it will cost you 7 galleons each," said the clerk.

They paid for their books and with three bags each they went to get their other stuff. On the way they ran into someone.

"Watch where you're going, slime ball!" said Sirius

"What will you do if I don't, shortie?" said the guy.

"Do you really want to know?" asked Sirius.

"Yea," he retorted, "Bring it on!"

With a blink of the eye the kid was on the ground and he hollered "I am Severus Snape, and I will get you!!!" he screamed while Lily, Avril, Gemini, Sirius, Remus, and James walked off laughing.

Next they went to a supplies store and got everything that they needed there, besides their wands and pets.  Now the Marauders (as they came to call them selves after when Sirius and Gemini were wrestling in the supplies store and knocked over a whole thing of caldrons down) went off to the pet store, but they weren't exactly short on pets.

Lily had three parrots that delivered mail named Polly, Cracker and Cheese.  She also had a guinea pig named Bob. 

Gemini had a leopard, Koko, a tiger Kika, a dog named Kiki that was a mixed breed, a ferret called Sasha and a monkey George. 

Avril had three dogs Tanya (Bernese Mountain Dog), Billy Wiggle (Noffie) and Jessie (GSD, Lab mix), a chipmunk named Hairball and a bear Asian Tiger named Blackie. 

Sirius had four dogs, all Noffie, named Golly, Waggle, Tack and Zoo Lou. 

Remus had two Huskies called Tibita (ta-bi-ta) and Tag.  He also had a chinchilla named Harry. (Nothing in relationship to Harry Potter, though.)

James had a pet ferret named Slinky and another one called Slider, and they were always having babies.  He also had a purple owl named Yellow.

When they walked into a pet store they were amazed about how many animals there were in there. Lily went over to the ferrets and seemed most interested in them, but Avril and Gemini spent most of their time at the monkeys and big cats.  All of the boys were looking at dogs.

By the time that they let Lily had a Siberian Tiger, a tree monkey, and a ferret, Gemini had a chimp and a leopard, Avril had two tree monkeys, Sirius had a little Chihuahua named Taco Bell, James had a corn snake called Slider and Remus had a wolf called Moon.

Then they and their pets all went to the bag store where the each got 5 bags: a clothes bag, 2 prank bags, a book bag and bag for miscellaneous things.  Then last but not least they went to the prank store and spent at least 10 galleons each on pranks (remember 1970s) and then went to meet up with Mrs. Lupin.

When they got to the meeting spot (The Three Broomsticks), they saw Mrs. Lupin sitting at a table, talking with a man that was very tall and had long black hair and a beard.

"Well Hagrid," they heard her say, "I'll send you a creature for your classes each time you ask, but" she said in a threatening tone, "I want them returned to me by the end of the month that I sent them, to you unless you have my permission (I know Hagrid didn't teach then but stay with me and he WILL teach 1st years.)

"Thanks a lot Mrs. Lupin," said Hagrid, "I'll take good care of them." Then he walked away.

"Come on kids," she called, "We're off to Diagon Alley."

They took their brooms and, with an invisibility charm, flew away.

When they landed in front of Ollivander's wand shop, they looked in the window and saw an old man slide away.  They walked into the store and he came out with 6 wands saying, "These were waiting for you."

After trying all of the wands they had all found one that fit them.  Lily had willow, 13 inch with Dragon heart string. James had a mahogany wand with unicorn feathers.  Gemini had a 6 inch wand that was dog wood and pheonix feather, while Sirius had 8 inch dogwood and pheonix feather, Remus had 12 inch birch and with wolf hair and Avril had 7 inch maple and a unicorn tail feather.

Sorry for rushing it at the end.
