LOVE IN THE WIZARDING WORLD
AUTHORS NOTE~**~Thank you for the 3 people who reviewed, I just wish it could have been more people. :( O well, for you three reviewers who seemed to love my story I am doing this next chapter for. I must say that LilyPrincess, r7skywalker feltonsgurls's reviews did make feel better like a million bucks. So I hope you liked the length of the last chapter and I will try to make every chapter like that or hopefully longer. I know the chapter titles leave little to guess, but I cannot think of any better ones. So enough of my jabbering along, so without further a due (except the disclaimer) to the story!
DISCLAIMER~**~ I do not own any of the characters, places, items or other ideas used and created by J K Rowling and Warner Brothers. I use these things will full respect of the mind that made them and just wish to create a story with these things.
CHAPTER TWO :: Through The Archway
"Florence, how wonderful it is to see you," Lily's grandmother Delilah grasped an old friend in her arms. The woman Delilah was embracing with looked much like her. She looked as though she exercised a fair bit, or enough to keep fairly fit. She had chestnut brown hair, a longer version of Delilah's. The only thing that really placed them apart was their eyes; Florence had misty gray eyes, while Delilah had striking green eyes, much like her granddaughter.
"This is my granddaughter Misty, first year at Hogwarts!" Florence grabbed Misty, who was busy looking at a pair of venomous tantacula. "I'll leave you two to get your things and I'll see you later!" The grandmothers headed off down the street and left the two 11 year olds standing in the middle of the pub.
Misty was beautiful; thick strawberry blonde hair bounced of her shoulders, forming perfectly around her face and ending in little wisps at her chest. Though she was undoubtedly 11 as it was her first year, her body was already wonderfully shaped with curves in all the right places. Her misty gray eyes were identical to her grandmothers and obviously had been the cause for her name. Lily was about the same height as Misty and immediately realized how open and outgoing she was.
"Hi, my names Misty," she extended a hand and Lily took it.
"I'm Lily, nice to meet you. Do you know how to get into Diagon Alley?"
"Yeah, just over here." Misty went over to a huge brick wall and tapped a series of bricks. The bricks faded away into an archway, revealing a hidden alley, filled with people of all sorts.
Lily took an immediate liking to Misty, who explained all sorts of things to her. Misty was a walking encyclopedia when it came to magic. She explained different magical creatures that they found lurking down Diagon Alley and in The Leaky Cauldron when they went for some Pumpkin Juice. Misty knew all about hags, goblins, vampires and trolls. After a while, they decided to get their School Supplies.
A large, crooked, probably once white, ancient looking building stood on a corner of the Alley.
"That's Gringotts," Misty said, "Where us magical folk keep their money in vaults down below muggle London." Lily walked up to the steps to a bronze door, followed closely behind by Misty, and was greeted inside by a goblin in a Scarlet and Gold uniform.
"I don't think I like goblins that much," Lily whispered to Misty. They gave her an eerie feeling when they looked at her. They came up to a set of silver doors, where Lily found a passage engraved.
Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay dearly in their turn,
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there. Lily shivered at the thought of what it exactly was lurking under the walls of Gringotts. The two stepped through the silver entryway to find themselves in a massive hall of marble, surrounded by hundreds of goblins sitting behind counters, scurrying around and weighing jewels. Lily was torn between amazement and fright. She decided to get what she came from and stepped up to one of the counters occupied by a goblin.
"Excuse me, I need to exchange my money and get an account here." The goblin set his fingers over the counter and tapped them rhythmically. Yellow eyes peered down at Lily. He stretched out a hand and Lily placed her muggle money into it. She had somehow obtained quite a large sum of money from her family. He took the money and muttered a few words under his breath. The pile of bills turned into stacks of bronze, silver and gold coins Lily realized were the knuts, sickles and galleons. The goblin then brought a long piece of parchment and a black quill. He pointed to a long table down the center of the hall and Lily brought her money and parchment over to work on.
There were the obvious questions like your name and age, but then others like what pets do you own and have you ever licked a silver sichet. She answered them all though and handed the goblin back his parchment and quill. She received her money back and put it in a large black bag given to her from the goblin at the counter. The goblin called over Thatch, one of the goblins that managed the lower Gringotts. He took Lily over to a small door, which opened to a roller coaster ride of carts. Misty was forced to stay behind and wished her good luck as Misty caught a glimpse of the nightmares on wheels. The carts looked like they had been used since the Stone Age. Thatch snapped his fingers and a cart came screeching to a stop in front of him and Lily. Lily stepped carefully into it and grabbed onto both sides with either one of her hands. Another snap of Thatch's fingers and the cart zoomed forward. Lily just about lost her Pumpkin Juice at every turn on the rickety tracks.
They stopped with a finger snap at vault 401 and got out. Lily walked dizzily towards the vault, her face pale and her stomach lurching. The goblin placed a brass key into the lock and turned rounded. The doors opened, inviting Lily inside and she poured the contents of her bag into one corner of the vault, separating them into galleons, sickles and knuts. The contents occupied a good portion of the vault. Lily picked out a couple galleons, some sickles and knuts and placed them in a little velvet pouch for her purchases that day.
The ride back to Gringotts was even worse than the first, with more ups than downs, nearly making Lily fall out. She walked briskly out of Gringotts meeting Misty outside where she was holding an ice cream and a Pumpkin Juice.
"Looks like you might need this more than I do," Misty said handing over her Pumpkin Juice to Lily.
"Thanks, where off to next?" Lily asked slurping down the drink. They walked over to Madame Malkin's Robes For All Occasions and bought a set of robes for Lily and Misty. Next Lily purchased a wand at Olivander's. Ten and a quarter inches, swishy, made of willow and good for charms work. Misty got a wand with a hair of a snitchet, Ten and a half inches and temperamental. They continued on through Flourish and Blotts, The Apothecary and Stargazers buying supplies. They were going to go back to The Leaky Cauldron to get a Butterbeer when they passed the Owl Emporium. Lily looked inside and saw a beautiful white owl. She pulled Misty inside and walked up to the counter.
"I want that gorgeous white owl in the front," Lily told the shopkeeper. She paid the man and walked out of the store with an Alaskan White Owl. Misty came out a couple minutes later with a brown owl.
"What are you going to name yours? I'm naming mine Moon," Lily said to Misty.
"This is Bertrum," Misty cooed, ruffling the bird's feathers. They each grabbed a cart and piled all their stuff into it and headed towards the Leaky Cauldron. Lily bent down to tie her shoe for a second and heard Misty begin a conversation with someone.
"My name is Misty Lupin and the red-head over there is Lily Evans. Now who might you be?"
"I might be Sirius Black and these idiots might be James Potter, Remus Lupin and Peter Petigrew," one of the boys said
"Of course I know Remus, he's my brother," Misty said. She turned to Remus, "so these are the clowns you met Remy. Lily and I were just heading down to the Leaky Cauldron, we already bought are stuff and I see you have also. Would you like to join us?" Misty said. Four heads nodded and began to run down the street arms flailing and legs squirming. Lily lifted her head from the ground and set off with Misty, laughing and the rodeo clowns ahead of them ramming their carts through the crowded streets. They each bought a Butterbeer, which were absolutely humongous and kept them there for a while.
Lily listened patiently to the conversations, though staying quiet herself. She observed that Sirius was a pureblood, the only child in his family. He had smooth, short brown hair and crystal clear blue eyes. He was devilishly handsome and appeared quite strong. He was charming but loved to tease and pester. He did appear to have some intelligence in him though.
James Potter was a pureblood, the only child in his family. He had short, untamed and scruffy brown hair, which looked very good. He had chocolate brown eyes and was just as pestering and teasing as Sirius. He was strong and intelligent, but kind also.
Remus Lupin had blonde hair, misty gray eyes like Misty and was fairly well built. He was not as meddlesome as Sirius and James, but he had his streak of fun in him. Remus was understanding, knowledgeable and intelligent. His only sibling was Misty.
(AUTHORS NOTE~**~Peter has not turned bad yet, but you will notice in the year that he does.)
Peter Petigrew seemed to be the oddball of the group. He was scraggly with brown/red eyes and ugly brown hair. He was short, cautious and very shy. He seemed nice though.
The group called themselves The Marauders and seemed to have a great liking when it came to pranks. Misty was taking a liking to Sirius and Sirius seemed to be taking a liking to Misty. James looked both of the girls from time to time searching them over and was amazed at Misty's beauty and enticed by Lily's piercing green eyes.
The group finished their butterbeers and headed out the door of the Leaky Cauldron chattering all the way.
AUTHORS NOTE~**~ Sorry it took so long to get this chapter up and it may not be as long as you or I expected but, oh well. I had family issues and school was a little overwhelming so forgive me. Please review and I will write more soon.
