Lily and I looked at each other. "Where should we start?" I asked.
"Well," Mom started, "No wizard can get anywhere without their wand. Why don't you girls head down to Ollivander's? It's down that way." She pointed down the street. "Petunia and I will stay here. We need to talk a little."
"Um...alright!" Lily exclaimed, I felt one of her hyper spurts coming on. She started walking down the street and looked back at me. "Come on, Lor!" I quickly caught up with her. She was practically skipping. "Can you believe this? It's so amazing!"
"Yeah, but...have you ever considered this might be a trick?"
"Trick? Lor, we were at the Ministry of Magic!"
"Okay, okay! I'll go along with it for now." Lily rolled her eyes at me. We were walking slow, so we could catch a glimpse of everything. I turned my head to look across the street and saw someone I hadn't expected to.
It was the black haired boy. He looked over about the same time I did. Our eyes met. He turned to the boy he was walking with, who had jet-black hair and glasses. He obviously said something about me because the boy with glasses looked over at me. Two can play this game. I turned to Lily.
"Hey," I said, "See that black haired boy with blue eyes across the street? Not the one with glasses, but the other."
"Yeah," she said.
"He's our neighbor!"
"Oh, come off it!"
"No, really!"
"Look, he's coming over!" And he was, he was strutting across the street. Not like I had seen him run earlier. He finally made it over, weaving between the throngs of people. "Hey," he asked in a friendly voice, "You're the girl who passed out on the sidewalk aren't you?"
Lily gave me a look. I stepped on her foot as a signal not to say anything.
"Um, yeah." I said, suddenly embarrassed. "Were you there?"
"I was the one who moved you to the park bench." I was surprised at this, because he looked a little scrawny.
"Oh, well, thanks I guess!" He stuck out his hand.
"I'm Sirius Black, by the way."
"Nice to finally know your name Sirius, I'm Laurel Evans and this is my sister, Lily." He looked over at Lily, just realizing she was there.
"Oh, so you two are twins?" He said while shaking my hand, his was soft and warm. We both nodded our heads at the same time. The boy across the street was waving his arms in the air.
"Well, I've got to go. That's my friend James by the way. Nice meeting you!" He walked back across the street.
I couldn't help but notice that that James bloke kept looking at Lily.
"Well," Mom started, "No wizard can get anywhere without their wand. Why don't you girls head down to Ollivander's? It's down that way." She pointed down the street. "Petunia and I will stay here. We need to talk a little."
