A/N: Before I begin the chapter, I would like to thank an anonymous reviewer. That person corrected a mistake in my second chapter. Lily will not be meeting Arabella Figg in the Three Broomsticks. She will meet Arabella in the Leaky Cauldron. I'm truly sorry for that mistake. Thank you. (By the way, I would like to add that you see how you reviewers helped me? I'm a beginner and I love to improve). Alright, on with the story.

Chapter 3

Over at Godric's Hollow, James Potter awoke with a start. He had just had that weird dream again. He was walking down some street, hand-in-hand with a very pretty girl with long red hair and brilliant green eyes. They were talking and laughing and having the time of their lives together. But when James turn to get a good look at her, she had already disappear, and he awakes. *Gosh, I wonder who that girl is,* he thought. Oh well. He went downstairs for breakfast.

When James reached the kitchen, he saw his mum making some food magically. His father was probably at work already. His father was an auror. A very good one. And he was almost always at work.

James sat down for some food, when he suddenly heard a pop! over where the fireplace is. James looked over and saw none other than his best friend's, Sirius Black, head in the flames.

"Hiya, Jamesie!" Sirius said merrily. "How's my head boy?"

"Fine, Sirius," James said in an annoyed sort of voice. "And don't call me 'Jamesie.'"

"Sirius, dear, would you like to join us for breakfast?" interrupted James' mum.

"No thanks, Mrs. Potter," Sirius said. "I wanted to know if James would like to play some Quidditch. Remus and Peter are coming too."

"Alright," said James. "Mum, is that okay with you?"

"Sure, honey. But remember, James, we're going to Diagon Alley to get your stuff tomorrow. Would you like to come with us, Sirius?"

"I'd love to, Mrs. P. Thanks."

The Next Day

Lily woke up early and went to the Leaky Cauldron. Her mum dropped her off and told her that she will pick up Lily in a few hours.

Lily entered the Leaky Cauldron, greeted Tom, the bartender, and looked around for Arabella. She saw Arabella sitting at a table in the corner.

"Lily!" Bella called.

"Bella!" Lily replied.

"C'mon, let's go." And with that, Bella dragged Lily to that brick wall in the back, and then into Diagon Alley. Lily was used to this. Bella has a lot more energy and is very bossy at times.

"Where to first?" Lily asked.

"Erm…how about Madam Malkin's Robes For All Occasion? We both need new robes. Plus, on our lists, it stated that we need dress robes too."

"Alright," Lily said.

When they entered the store, Madam Malkin measured them a bit. When they had gotten their school robes, they started to look around for dress robes.

"Lily, how about this one? It really goes with your eyes," Bella said as she held up a beautiful green dress robe.

"Erm, sure…and how about this one for you?" said Lily, pointing to a nice red dress robe.

"Nah," said Bella. "I prefer this blue one."

So they paid for their robes and exited the store. Then they went and bought some parchments and quills. On their way out of the store, they passed by the Marauders.

"Look, Lily. It's the Marauder. Probably doing their school shopping too," Bella said.

"Yeah, well let's not disturb them," said Lily, as they passed by.

When they were done with their shopping, they went back to the Leaky Cauldron, and each got picked up by their parents.

"'Bye, Lily!" Bella said. "See you at King's Cross."

"See ya, Bella."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The same time, over with the Marauders:

James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter we're done with their robes shopping and headed to the Quidditch shop. There, James and Sirius bought the latest broom model, the Lightning Bolt 3000, for James and Sirius were both on the Gryffindor's Quidditch team. James was the captain and chaser, and Sirius is one of the beater. Anyway, as the Marauders exited the Quidditch shop, Sirius noticed Arabella Figg and her friend leaving the parchment and quills place (a/n: I have no idea what that place is called. Sorry). Sirius had always had sort of a crush on Arabella. When he saw her passed, he blushed lightly, and Remus saw him.

"Sirius, why are you blushing?" he asked.

"I'm not," Sirius said.

"Probably 'cause Arabella and her friend just passed," Peter said.

"Where?" asked James, who had been to busy admiring his new broom.

"There," said Peter, pointing towards the girls.

James looked over and saw Arabella with a girl with red hair--was that her? The girl from his dream? He wanted to find out for sure. If she have green eyes, then that must be her. But she already left. Damn it! James turned to his friends, a bit disappointed.

"Hey, who's that girl with Arabella?" he asked.

"Oh, that's Lily Evans," answered Remus. "She was my partner in Charms once. Really smart and pretty, she is."

*Lily Evans….* though James. *What a nice name*.

A/N: How was that? I've had reviews asking for more, but that's the best I can come up with right now. Please review.
