"Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep." an arm form under the blankets hit the off bottom of the alarm clock. It was Diana who hod gotten up out of bed first. She put on her sock and Sirius' sweatshirt before proceeding to the kitchen.
Like she promised Lily, she got out eggs, milk, butter, flour, and sugar to make her famous waffles.
20 minutes later, a stack of waffles scented the house. Sirius and Lily came striding down the hallway. Sirius was already dress in his work robes, while Lily still had on her bathrobe.
"This smells great," smiled Sirius as he kissed Diana on the cheek. "But- I gotta get to work." He grabbed 3 waffles off the stack and walked out the door. A few moments later and a loud 'pop' was heard form outside, and Sirius was gone.
"So... Lily what do you wanna do today?" asked Diana between sips of coffee.
"I don't care. Wanna go down to Diagon Ally?" Said Lily pulling out a chair at the table and grabbing a cup of coffee.
"Yeah, sure. I'm going to take a shower. You finish eating, then get ready." Smiled Diana at the prospect of buying more clothes.
At 7:30 that night, the girls walked into the Leaky Cauldron to show each other their purchases. They sat down at a booth in the tavern and waited for the waitress to take their orders.
"Gillywater, please." Smiled Diana to Rosemerta, Rose for short. "How's Patrick?" Patrick was Rose's husband. Lily Diana and Rose were in the same year at Hogwarts, and also, best friends.
"Very good. And we're going to be having a little one running a round soon, too." Rose sank down into the booth with the girls.
"I don't believe it," giggled Diana. "I never would have known. We're just going to have to throw a baby shower." She loved planning parties for other people.
"Congratulations." Lily's dimples showed.
"Thanks. We're thinking of moving out to Hog's Head. It's a lot quieter there. And well, be closer to Hogwarts. Patrick was just assigned the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts. All that Auror training worked out." she gushed. "So, Lily, Diana, how's James and Sirius. I saw a picture of you two in the Daily Prophet. Isn't that the fourth Quidditch World Cup James has won for the England National Team?" She gestured to Lily. Lily's face fell. "Um. Rose. James and I broke up last night." "Oh... I'm so sorry. Here I am talking about the two of you. I bet I upset you now." She became silent for a minute before going on "If you don't mind me asking, what happened?" "No, It's fine. Sirius came home yesterday, telling me he saw James with another women in the jewelry shop down the street. When James came back to my house we got into a big fight and he left." she girmiced thinking about it again.
"Yeah, he got into a fight with Sirius last night, too. He was yelling at him about selling him out and Sirius said something about how he cared about Lily more then he did about their friendship." "I'm really sorry Lily. If there's anything I can do for you." She looked down at Lily, while she got up from the table.
"I've actually trying not to think about it much. It really hurts that he'd do that to me." she bowed her head, then picked it back up. "I'll take a glass of Gillywater also.
"Sure thing, I'll be right back." She turned and went behind the bar.
The door of the tavern blew open with a cold gust of wind and snowflakes. Sirius Black walked in and scanned the dark room for a familiar face. He made his way over to where Diana and Lily were seated.
"My two favorite ladies." He grinned pulling up a chair. "So how was your work free day? You guys were probably out shopping, while I had to go out with Mad-Eye on a report of a Lord Voldemort sighting." The girls flinched.
"Don't say his name." Snapped Diana. "It's bad luck." She sank into the booth's cushion. "Oh, where did you hear that, Witch Weekly no doubt." He glanced at Diana and Lily.
"Maybe. And what's the problem with shopping. It just means we appreciate the up in coming fashion industry. It was absolutely horrid having to wear the exact thing everyday at Hogwarts." She finished glaring at Sirius.
"Here you are." Grinned Rose as she handed Lily and Diana their Gillywater. "What can I get you Sirius?" She pulled out her order form.
"A Fire Whiskey, please, Rose. Your looking quiet ravishing today." He joked.
"I thought we were going to keep that a secret." Everyone laughed except Lily.
"Real funny guys. You'll laugh about it until it really happens to you." She snapped at the three of them.
"We're sorry Lily." Rose said trying to compose herself. "I'll be back with your Fire Whiskey.
Just then the tavern door flew open again. And this time it was James and another girl. She had long dark hair and buttermilk white skin. They move to a table not far from Sirius, Lily, and Diana.
"The nerve of that man. Coming in here with that whore." Diana glared at the couple.
"Yeah, the nerve. That's my cousin he's with. And that isn't the girl from yesterday." If eyes could kill, James would be dead and buried by now.
Nobody realized Lily during this whole sequence of events. She had turned and picked up her shopping bags, and began pulling on her thick winter cloak and mittens.
"Lil. Where you going?" Diana turned to look at her. "I've got to work tonight. You know night shift." She pulled a galleon out of her pocket and threw it on the table. "That's for the drinks, they're on me. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye." She walked to the door and left in a swirl of snow.
