The last day of their trip Lily and Sydney spent at the ice cream shop reading again.
"What book are you reading, Sydney?" Asked Lily as she finished her book.
"Um. One I got for fun to read. Its called Famous Animagus in History and What They Are" she said.
"Sounds interesting. What are Animagus?"
"They are people who can turn into animals."
"Wow! I want to become one. How do you become one?"
"It's a series of complex steps. The book doesn't say exactly because they don't want unqualified people to try."
"Can I borrow the book when you are done?"
"Sure you want to go to the bookstore and see if there are anymore?"
"Yeah"
When they got to the bookstore there were 3 other books. One in French, one in English and the other in Latin.
"There is only one book in English" Sydney said.
"What are the other languages?" lily asked.
"French and Latin"
"I can speak French fluently and Latin a little because of French. So all I need is a Latin dictionary."
"That's amazing! Will you teach me a little?"
"Sure. I'll buy all the books and we can share them."
"Are you sure I can buy the English one."
"Ok you buy that one and I'll buy the others."
When they left the store Lily said, "There goes the rest of my birthday money."
"So what book were you reading?" Sydney asked
"Our defense against the dark arts one we need for school. Are werewolves really as dangerous as they say?"
"Yeah when they transform. But in human form I think they are normal"
"They don't attack animals right?"
"So?"
"If you wanted to be near one why couldn't you just be an Animagus?"
"You know I don't think anyone has ever though of that. They are mostly scared of and shunned if they tell what they are before people get to know them."
"That's a shame," Lily said as they walked in the Leaky Cauldron.
"Where are those three? We have to pack and get ready to leave soon!" Sydney said
"I don't know if they don't get here on time, it's their own fault." Lily said. "I guess we should go pack and keep an eye out for them."
"I guess. Maybe they already have packed"
"I don't think so but you never know."
20 minutes before Mr. and Mrs. Potter came to pick the kids up Remus, Sirius, and James burst into Lily and Sydney's room.
"You will never believe what we just did! We pulled the prank of all pranks! We got Snape's school robes, and now flashing across the front it says 'Do you have a map' and on the back it says 'Because I keep getting lost in your eyes.'" Sirius blurted out as they sat on the bed.
"Won't he see it and take it off? " Lily asked.
"That's the best part he cant read it," Remus said.
"How did y'all do it? Not with your wands obviously because you don't know how yet." Sydney asked.
"Easy. I've been doing it for awhile with dad's wand." James said.
"I don't even want to know." Lily said, "You better get packed we leave in 15 minutes." Before she had even finished saying that they were out the door and half way to their room.
Sydney and Lily just looked at each other and said "Boys".
When Mr. and Mrs. Potter came the boys were throwing the last items on their trunks.
"I see your all packed." Mr. Potter said, "And I see James you waited until the last minute." Pair of James's boxers were stuck hanging out of his trunk. They had flying quaffles on them.
"Oh how cute James still has boxers with quaffles on them." Sirius said.
"They aren't as bad as yours with bears running around on them." James answered.
"That's so cute!" Lily and Sydney exclaimed.
"That's enough" Mr. Potter quickly broke in before James said something he would regret later. "Time to go. James, Remus and Sirius you are flooing to Sirius' for a week. Lily, your mom is outside waiting for you and Sydney."
"Why is my mom here?" Lily asked
"Apparently she wanted to get you some clothes that were normal for Hogwarts. She has some money for you too Sydney." Mrs. Potter said.
Lily and Sydney looked at each other and yelled "Shopping Spree!"
"We will take the trunks back to our house. Lily you will be able to get yours when you get home." Mr. Potter said.
"Thank you. Bye you guys" Lily said to the guys.
Lily and Sydney skipped out to the car.
"Hi Mommy" Lily said as she got in the car.
"Hi Mrs. Evans" Sydney said.
"Hello Sweetheart, Hello Sydney. Ready to go?" Marie Evans asked.
"Where are we going?" Lily asked.
"Where ever you girls want to go."
Lily and Sydney looked at each other and yelled "The Mall!" in unison.
"What are we looking for?" Lily asked.
"Pants, shirts, and a couple of dresses for Christmas." Mrs. Evans replied.
When they got to the mall they decided to buy a whole new wardrobe. They started at Bloomindales.
"Do you like this lily?" Sydney asked showing her a yellow striped shirt and jeans.
"Its great" lily said "do you want it?"
"It would look better on you. Here"
"You know what we need?"
"What"
"Shirts to knock the guys off their feet"
"That's a great idea I think I saw two that would work" Sydney said. She held up a blue shirt that had one sleeve and wrapped around showing half of her stomach. The other was a green corset top that formed a V at the bottom and was strapless.
"There perfect. I think I know what to wear with both of them. With the green top a black pants and faded jeans with the blue one." Lily said.
"Lets try them on." When they walked out them know that had the right shirts.
"I love it" Lily said
" I know so do I" Sydney said
"Their wonderful" Mrs. Evans said. "Now you need to get a cocktail dress for Christmas and a formal dress."
When they finally left the store they were loaded down with bags. They got home around 10 that night.
"Sydney I'll come over and get my trunk tomorrow" Lily said.
"Ok we are free of the guys for a week what so you want to do?" Sydney asked.
"I don't know we could go flying tomorrow"
"Sure then we can plan pranks to play on the guys"
"Ok do you want to spend the night at my house tomorrow? Maybe we can play some pranks on Petunia" Lily said with an evil laugh.
"Count on it we should have gotten more hair dye at the store. Maybe veronica has some extra."
At Sirius house.
"So James do you like Lily?" Sirius asked
"No" James said.
"That's good" Remus said. " Then I ask her out?"
"No" James said. " Of course you cant Remus I am" Sirius said
"No one is going to ask lily out, ok" James was getting mad.
"So your just going to let her go to Hogwarts unprotected?" Remus asked.
"She can take care of her self. You heard her" then James was quiet for a while.
Remus and Sirius were talking for a while then out of the blue Sirius asks James " what are you thinking about?
"Lily" James responds them realizes what he said and tries to cover it up "I wonder how she is so good at flying she's a natural"
Sirius was laughing his head off. "Just admit it James you like her"
"No I don't" James said, "She's not even pretty"
"Your just jealous she didn't fall head over heels for you and I don't now who your looking at if you don't think she is pretty," Remus said.
"Drop it. What can we do to her and Sydney?" James asked.
"Trying to change the subject I see. Well it worked. We could give them flowers," Sirius said.
"Great ides cupid" Remus said.
"I wasn't done. The flowers could make them laugh at every word that started with L or S." Sirius continued
"That would be funny having them talking then just start laughing. They do that a lot anyway though its like they have secret codes for things." James said.
"Yeah but how are we going to get the potion that makes them laugh" Remus said.
"I've got a cousin that could make it" James supplied.
"Great, you can owl him now. Ask him to send the potion in a bottle. We can put in on lilies for lily and roses for Sydney." Sirius said.
The next day Lily showed up at the Potters house wearing jeans and a soccer shirt to get her trunk.
"Hello Mr. Potter how are you today" lily asked
"Fine thank you for asking. Sydney will be down in a minute" he answered. "Your trunk is right here. Its pretty heavy want me to put a temporary lighting spell on it?"
"That would be swell." Lily said. "Hey Syd ready?"
"Yea let me just grab my broom."
They dropped the trunk off at Lily's house got her broom and left to go flying. After five hours of soaring through the air they tumbled back to Lily's house.
"That was great" lily said
"I know. Your so good at flying its amazing" Sydney replied.
"Do you have your clothes to spend the night here or do you need to go get them?"
"They are at my house packed on my bed. I also put some filibusters wet start fire works. I have an idea for petunia."
"Ok lets go get them."
That night lily and Sydney rigged petunias shower so that when she started the water the fire works would go off and scare her. They planned to be out of the house by the time she came out to yell at them.
That morning lily and Sydney were standing outside petunias door waiting for to step in the shower. She turned on the water and started yelling. "LILY I'M GOING TO KILL YOU"
Sydney and lily started cracking up laughing. Then grabbed their purses and ran out side. They started walking to the mall.
"Where did you get that idea? It was great" lily said.
"Last year James, Remus, and Sirius pulled it on me. You wouldn't forget stepping in your shower with fire works exploding in it. " Sydney said.
"Oh so what do you want to do when we get to the mall? We already have new clothes. We could chill at the food court" lily suggested
"Do your parents let you wear makeup" Sydney asked.
"Yeah"
"We could go get a makeover so the guys would be knocked off their feet"
"That's a great idea but we should probably go with a natural look."
When they go to the mall they went over to the make up counter and an attendant walked over.
"How may I help you young ladies?" she asked
"We would like to get a makeover where do we go?" Lily asked
"Right this way, my names Jenny and this is Andrea. It will be wonderful finally working on someone under the age of fifty or that's not a total horse." The attendant said
"What would you like done?" Andrea asked.
"The works but we want it to look natural," Sydney said.
"Of course right this way" Jenny said
