Chapter 3

Meetings in Diagon Alley 

"Lily I'm… I'm a… you see…ugh I don't know how to tell you this" Remus tried to explain.

"Look Remus if you don't want to tell me then that's ok" Lily said looking at Remus.

"No it's not that I don't want you to know it's just hard" Remus said looked up at Lily.

"Look just tell me I'm not going to fall out with you or anything," Lily said.

"Well I'm scared that you'll do that" Remus said a slight frown.

"I just said I wouldn't, didn't I" Lily said with a smile.

"Fine look I'm a werewolf" Remus said looking back down at the ground.

"For real" Lily said.

"Yeah for real" Remus said still looking down at the floor.

"Ok" Lily said straight away.

"What's that now?" Remus said looking up at Lily with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Ok" Lily said again.

"Really I mean I know that you're not from a wizard family but you know what werewolf's are" Remus said.

"Yeah I know and I know that you can't control it and I won't blame you for it" Lily explained.

"Really" Remus said still in disbelief.

"Yes, what did you expect me to say?" Lily said smiling.

"Well something along the lines of ' you monster get away from me' something like that" Remus said in a depressed type of voice.

"Remus I would never say anything like that especially to you, you're my best mate and I can't even begin to think what pain you've been going though these past few years, when did you get bitten by the way?" Lily asked.

"Um when I was six just before I moved to round here" Remus said.

"Oh yeah that must have been horrible" Lily said feeling sorry for Remus.

"Yeah it was but you know the one thing that made it better?" Remus said looking up at Lily.

"What's that?" Lily said.

"You, when you made friends with me I found out that I was like any other kid you know that people couldn't see though me and find out about my problem, I mean when I came here I was really depressed, you might have noticed, but when you made friends with me you made me feel like I was a kid with nothing to worry about and just liked playing on swings and playing basketball" Remus explained.

"That's really sweet Remus" Lily said happy that Remus felt so strongly about their friendship.

"Well it's the truth" Remus said.

"Augh come here and give me a hug" Lily said opening her arms and hugging Remus and just at that moment Sophie came out and Lily let go of Remus and sat down again next to him.

"Mum I told Lily and my problem" Remus said to Sophie.

"And I guess she took it well, I told you she wouldn't have a problem with it" Sophie said with an 'I told you so' look on her face. "Right now I guess Lily that you had a shopping list on you're letter" Sophie said to Lily.

"Yes I did here's my list" Lily said putting her hand in her pocket and taking her Hogwarts letter out and handing it to Sophie.

"Well there's only one please to get all of this, Diagon Alley.

"Where?" Lily asked.

"A wizard shopping place in London" Remus explained.

"Right well we better get going" Sophie said walking back into the Evans house followed by Lily and Remus, inside Lily's Mum and Dad congratulated her on last time and Lily went outside and got into the Lupins car.

"Right I'll see you later then" Lily said waving to her Mum and Dad.

"Thanks for talking her Sophie it's just that I've got to go to work and Sean is already a bit late," Claire explained.

"It's no problem Claire we'll see you later" Sophie said as she got in the car.

"Wait Mum you forgot to give me any money" Lily said opening the car window.

"Oh right here you go sweetheart" Claire said, "How much should I give her Sophie" Claire asked

"Um about 50 pounds" Sophie replied and Claire handed the money to Lily and then the car had started and was going down the street.

"Lily you know that you can't buy anything with that money" Sophie said to her.

"What will I do then I can't buy any of my school supplies" Lily said with worry in her voice.

"Don't worry there's a bank there that will change the money for you" Remus said.

"Oh thank goodness I was worried then," Lily said leaning back in her seat.

About another hour later they arrived on the outskirts of London city centre when Sophie stopped the car.

"Right were here," Sophie said getting out of the car.

"This is it?" Lily asked looking around.

"Well not exactly" Remus said, "we have to go in there" he said again pointing at a run down old pub on the corner.

When they got in there it was full of men and women who Lily thought were all wizards and witches by the way that they were dressed and Sophie lead them to the back entrance where there was a few bins and a brick wall blocking the way, but Sophie got something out of her pocket that Lily thought was a wand and tapped the wall and it all of a sudden started to open which shocked Lily, and all three of them walked though it to find 2 long rows of shops and at the end of the streets was a big back called Gringotts.

"Right I think we should go to the bank first" Sophie said walking though the crowd to the back with Lily and Remus not far behind her, after they had gotten their money they had gone to Flourish and Blotts to get their new books then went to get their new wands Lily's wand was ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow and what the man in the shop had told her it was very useful for charm work, then they went to the owl emporium to look at the owls and Lily bought one.

"I don't know what to call it, what do you think Remus?" Lily asked trying to think of a name for her new pure white owl.

"I don't know how about Snowy" Remus said.

"Um Snowy I like it" Lily said

"Come on we still need to go to Madam Malkins yet for you're robes" Sophie said walking toward another shop.

Lily bought her new Hogwarts robes almost straight away but Remus was taking ages and Lily asked Sophie if she could go out side for some fresh air.

"Alright Lily dear but just stay outside okay" Sophie said

"I will, see you in a while" Lily said walking out the shop and just as she was exiting it somebody hit her and made her fall over.

"Excuse me can you please get off me" Lily asked the person who was still lying on her.

"Oh sorry" the person said getting up off the floor and helping Lily off the floor, "I'm James Potter what's you're name?" the boy asked.

"Oh hi my names Lily, Lily Evans it's nice to meet you" Lily said wiping her knees where she had fallen.

"Like wise sorry about that it's my mate Sirius, I was just trying to catch up with him cause he stole my new books for a joke" James said and Laughed, "so are you're parents here?" he asked.

"No, I'm with my friend cause my Mum and Dad are at work" Lily explained.

"Are you muggle born or wizard?" James asked.

"I'm muggle born" Lily answered.

"Oh yeah so this must be really exciting for you?" James asked.

"Yeah I guess" Lily said.

"JAMES" the pair heard from the background.

"Oh sorry I have to get going Sirius is calling me I guess I'll see you at Hogwarts" James said waving at Lily as he walked away.

"Yeah nice meeting you" Lily said before he was out of site.

"So Lils only been here 5 minutes and you've already got a boyfriend" Remus said walking out of the robe shop.

"Shut up Remus" Lily said playfully slapping him.

"Right kids I think that's it come on lets go home" Sophie said and the three went back though the pub and drove home.
