(A/N: Sorry the last chapter was so confusing. I will try to make this one
better.
Musicizdbest: Thanks. You made my day.)
Chapter 2: Diagonally
Sirius Black and James Potter walked out of the fireplace and into a wizarding pub. Brushing himself off, Sirius Black looked around and spotted his sister sitting at a table. He smiled. Then he and James walked over.
"Hey Liz!" James said sitting down across from Sirius's sister.
"Hey James, Sirius." Elizabeth smiled.
"Where's mum and dad? I thought you were going with them!" Sirius asked.
"I was. But I convinced them to let me go by myself. But I have to stop by Nocturnally before I leave or mum will never let me to this again!" James and Sirius shuddered.
"That place is creepy." James shuddered.
"It is if you don't know what you are doing." Elizabeth pointed out.
"You don't have to go Liz!" James exclaimed.
"I'll be fine." Liz said as she laid a hand on her brother's arm. James looked confused but he let the subject drop. To change the subject Sirius and James began to talk about Quidditch. Elizabeth excused herself and bought three butterbeers.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "I'll meet you at the music store in 3 hours." Lily's mother called.
"Okay." Lily hopped that Diagonally would be worth the torment her sister put her through on the car ride over. Petunia had called Lily a "Freak" "Bitch" and loads of other names. Unfortunately, the music in the car was up so loud Mrs. Evans could not here any of the mean thing Petunia was saying. Lily sighed and walked into the grungy pub called The Leaky Cauldron. She looked around but could not find the way to Diagonally. So she walked over to two black haired boys and a black haired girl who were sitting at a table hopping they could help her.
"Excuse me." Lily said. The three 11-year-olds looked up. "Do you know how to get into Diagonally?" The black haired girl smiled.
"Oh! Are you a muggle born?" She asked. "A muggle is a person who can't do magic" She added when she saw Lily's confused look.
"Er... yea." Lily said uncomfortably.
"Well then! You are more then welcome shop for school supplies with me and I can show you around!" The girl said and Lily smiled.
"That sounds nice. Thank you." Lily sighed with relief.
"Oh! Where are my manners! I'm Elizabeth. But most people call me Liz or Lizzy. And this is my brother, Sirius." She pointed the tallest boy. Sirius did a mock bow. "And this is his friend James." James smiled brightly.
"I'm Lily." Lily said.
"It's very nice to meet you Lily. Do you have and money?" Liz asked. Lily pulled out 50 pounds. Liz looked surprised. "No, that wont do at all! I'll see you two later." She added to James and Sirius.
"No we'll come with you." James said. "I need to pull more money out of my vault." Liz just rolled her eyes and bustled Lily out into the alleyway.
"Relax Liz! You're making Lily nervous!" Sirius said winking at Lily.
"Oh! I'm oh so very sorry!" Liz said.
"Liz..." Sirius growled.
"Sorry." James smiled and Lily relaxed a bit more. She was unsure about James but she liked Liz and Sirius very much. Lily's jaw dropped when she saw Greengots(SP?). James smirked.
"You'll catch a fly if you keep you're mouth open like that." He said. Lily glared at him. James was surprised at how Lily was reacting so he kept teasing her about it and getting more glares from Lily. Finally Liz told James to shut up and keep his tounge to himself. This surprised both Sirius and James. James opened his mouth to say some thing but Liz whacked him upside the head.
"We'll get your wand first." Liz said when they walked out of the bank. So Lily, Liz, James and Sirius went to Olivander's wand shop. There was a boy with sandy brown hair and brown eyes was already a head of them. "Hello." The boy said. "I'm Remus Lupin" James smiled.
"James Potter."
"Sirius Black." Lily and Liz were in deep conversation.
"And they are Lily and Liz." James said.
"Are they twins?" Remus asked.
"Er... No. Liz is my twin." Sirius said. "Why do you ask that?"
"We'll they have the same colour eyes, same hair texture, and same body shape." Sirius and James looked closely at the two girls.
"Wow, you're right." James said. Remus smiled. Liz walked over to her brother.
"Oh, Hello!" She said when she saw Remus.
"Liz, this is Remus." Sirius said. Liz smiled. "It's very nice to meet you Remus!" After the five of them got their wands. James invited Remus to join them.
"Where are we going to next?" Lily asked looking at her list
"Uh.... How about we get our books?" Remus supplied.
"Okay!" After an hour of shopping they had only one shop left to go to. The Apothecary. Lily ended up getting a black cat with green eyes, Liz a barn owl, James a brown owl with blue eyes, Sirius a brown owl with brown eyes and Remus didn't get anything.
"What now? I have an hour before I need to go home." Lily said.
"How about we go get an Ice cream?" Remus suggested.
"I'll meet you guys there. I need to run an errand." Liz said.
"Okay."
"Where is she going?" Lily asked.
"No clue, but she will be back soon. I can tell you that." Sirius said. "I'll buy you a cone."
"Er.... Thanks." Lily was a little uncomfortable sitting at a table with three boys but she soon relaxed.
"So Lily, what do your parents do?" Remus asked.
"My mother is a florist and my father is a surgeon." Lily replied.
"Uh... What's a surgeon?" Sirius asked.
"A doctor." Lily said unable to come up with a better explanation. Thankfully Sirius did not ask for one. Lily took a bite of her chocolate ice cream. She loved chocolate. "Damn." Lily swore as ice cream fell from her spoon and on to her T-shirt. Sirius looked surprised, Remus hid a smile and James laughed openly. Lily glared at him. She scooped more chocolate ice cream but instead of eating it she catapulted it off her spoon at James. It hit him square in the face. Sirius and Remus were rolling on the floor with laughter. If looks could kill Sirius, Remus and Lily would all be 6 feet under. James stuck his hand into his ice cream and grabbed a hand full. He was about to chuck it at Lily but Liz came back and ruined his aim. "Thanks...Liz..." Lily somehow managed to gasp. Liz raised and eyebrow.
"No problem. Did you burn your hand?" Liz directed this last bit at James who was shacking his hand causing ice cream to fly every where.
"No." James snapped glaring at Liz.
"Fine. Don't get you're nickers in a twist!" Liz replied. Remus sniggered. It had been an along time sense he had friends. Well with his condition who would want to be friends with him? Little did he know, that was going to change. Sirius, Remus, James, Lily and Liz hung out for another hour before they said their good byes.
Liz went back to the Black manor with a cheerful heart and Sirius and James chatted the whole way back to James' house where Sirius was spending the remainder of the summer. Remus went home with hope for the coming school year. Lily was the only one dreading to go home.
