Chapter 2
After Harry, Lily and Alice finally got to Diagon Alley, they went into as many stores as possible. After all, they were all interesting to look at and the girls had a large supply list. Harry kept an eye out for more familiar faces while Lily and Alice got caught up on their summers. Suddenly, he saw four familiar looking boys about his age.
Just who I was looking for!
One of them noticed Harry's group. "Very nice to see you, Evans", said James, suddenly sounding more mature than his sixteen years. "How was your summer?"
"Fine, James." Lily replied. "Have you met your twin?" She nodded towards Harry.
"No," James answered, watching Harry closely. "What's your name?" he asked.
"Harry", Harry answered, to stunned at seeing his father to say more.
By this time, Sirius had bounded over. "Where'd you find this twin of James', Lily?" he asked.
"He moved into my neighborhood," she replied.
"Just this summer," Harry added.
Sirius then had to call out "Prongs, it looks like you've got competition".
Harry was pretty sure his checks had never been so red in his life.
"I'd better get going," he told the group, though he was sure he wouldn't be able to resist sneaking a look back at everyone.
"Meet me at the wand shop in a couple hours so be can get out of here before my dad goes insane, okay?" Lily asked, smiling warmly at him.
Harry replied, "Of course."
As he walked down the street, he was surprised at how many of the businesses looked the same. He bought himself an ice cream and thought that even though he's had a few awkward moments, this was the best summer yet. He just had to figure out how to explain everything to everyone.
