"So have you gotten anything yet?" Severus asked, once the other guys had left.
"I got my wand, but nothing else," Lily replied.
Lucius nodded. "We've had our wands since first year, so we don't need them either. What else is there?"
Lily pulled out her list, "Uniform, books, cauldron, phials, telescope, brass scales, and a pet of some sort."
"You forgot broom," Anthony said, grinning.
"Oh, I thought it said we weren't aloud to have them," Lily said.
"It does. You aren't," Lucius replied.
"We know some spells to hide them, no worries," Severus said.
"Cool," Lily said grinning.
"It's a good thing you're not stuck on rules, else you'd never fit in with us," Lucius said grinning.
Anthony said, "Let's get the uniforms first. The bookstore will probably be packed right now, and I don't want to carry them around all day."
"I know a spell - " Severus started.
"How many spells do you know?!" Lily asked incredulously.
Severus smiled evilly, "A lot."
Lucius smiled, "And when he says he knows a lot, he means books full."
"But curses are really my specialty," Severus said modestly.
"Severus is our curse-specialist. He even knows some of the dark arts, those are deep magic, not child's play," Anthony said proudly.
Severus tried to downplay it, "They aren't that hard."
Lucius laughed, "Why are we so humble now? Usually you'd be bragging." Lucius looked at Lily, "Oh I get it."
"Get what?" Lily asked, not catching on.
Lucius stage whispered, "He likes you."
Anthony glared at Severus, "Is that true?"
Severus turned bright red, "No, of course not."
Anthony didn't look really convinced, but Lily had no trouble believing it. It was harder to imagine people liking her than not liking her. Before she came to Hogwarts, people purposely avoided her, calling her terrible things behind her back.
"Guys, he just is nervous around girls probably," Lily defended him. "Give him a break."
Lucius looked at her like she was crazy, "Severus, nervous around girls?"
Severus elbowed Lucius, "Let's go get those uniforms, we need to get going."
"What time is it?" Anthony asked Severus.
Severus looked at his wrist, and a watch appeared and then disappeared.
"Time to go," Severus said.
