Authors Note: So I know that this is a strange story, and it's stupid and everything, sure… but I like it I guess. I think it's actually really strange… so I probably wont continue... I don't know if anyone will like it or not, but we'll see… yeeeeeeeeeeeah.

Lily's Point of View

I'd been in at the Portobello Market for three hours before Emily called. I usually go there on Saturdays just to look around and see if I had any luck at the stations. Well, just after she called I stopped at one vendor selling all these really classy looking antique rings. I was just kind of glancing over them, when one in particular caught my eye; it was white gold, with a sapphire in the center surrounded by emeralds. The emeralds were positioned to make them appear as petals around the sapphire, kind of like a flower. I glanced at the price and decided, eh what the heck?

This is the reason I'm sprinting down the street getting odd looks from people. I'd had to pay for the ring with my debit card, which took entirely too long, so now I'm almost 15 minutes late for my meeting with Emily in Starbucks.

I could feel myself starting to sweat when I finally got to the coffee shop, so I grabbed clip from my purse and pulled my red hair up into a loose ponytail. Upon entering I slid my black Chanel sunglasses on the top of my head and looked around for my friend. Sighing after realizing she wasn't there, I stepped up to the counter to order a coffee. Out of the corner of my eye a sudden movement caught my eye, and I suddenly realized that Emily wasn't inside the coffee shop she was outside.

"Oh God," I groaned when I saw her disheveled appearance and huffy expression. "Hey… what happened to you? You look disgusting"

"Thanks?" She responded huffily. I hadn't realized what I'd said anything wrong… but thinking back on it that probably wasn't the right thing to say to someone who had just lost their job. "Nothing actually, I rushed here from the Leaky Cauldron and then when I finally got here they kicked me out."

"What for?"

"Oh, well its because of what I wanted to show you in the first place." Emily reached down into her purse and extracted a giant ball of brown fur.

"He was cornered in an Ally by a bunch of fuck-heads," I shook my head at her crude language. "Isn't he cute? His name is Padfoot." She told me this as she passed off the little furball to me. Turns out it's actually a dog, and a really cute one too.

"You tried to bring a dog into a coffee shop?" Was the only thing I could manage to say, as the dog had started licking my cheeks.

"Yeah, well I wanted to meet at Florean Fortescue's but you wanted to come here so…" Emily trailed off as her cell phone started to ring. "Argh, it's Diggory again. This is the fourth time today he's called me…"

"Don't answer." I instructed

"Don't panic, I wasn't even thinking about it." She responded quickly, and screened his call. I could tell she wanted to answer, give him a piece of her mind, but she'd never admit she wanted to, and she'd never actually do it anyway. "So what do you think of Padfoot? Isn't he cute? I'm not sure if he's going to be a good dog or not, though. When I said we were leaving Diagon Ally he like freaked out. See, he bit me on my hand." I picked up her hand and examined the mark. There were tons of little indentations from where his teeth had marred her flesh.

"Ow? And you're actually thinking about keeping this thing?" I asked her. I like dogs sure, but this one didn't seem like your average dog. Plus, who wants a thing that's going to rip at your skin all the time?

"Well, I'm keeping him for right now, but I'm thinking I might end up going to Dumbledore. He owes me a favor, and if I find a new job(and I better) I'll need someone to watch him every now and then." She explained. "And he's really sweet, I think going through the barrier just unnerved him a little bit. You should have seen him at Florean Fortescue's he was eating off my spoon and everything."

"I hope he doesn't have any diseases… if you two were sharing a spoon…that's just disgusting. But I guess I can see how you would think it's cute."

"It is cute. You're just being bitter."

"I AM NOT."

"You are too, do you want a pet? We can go get you one right now if you want one." It's true, I'd always wanted a dog. My parents were both allergic and when I left Hogwarts I'd gotten a job at the ministry being a reporter for the Department of Magical Games and Sports. I've also had a few hair modeling jobs since then, to earn some extra money, but I'd never want to do that for a living… its exhausting! Anyway, I'm not home enough to have a pet. Kind of makes me sad actually. Shaking that thought out of my head I responded.

"No… maybe next year…" And left it at that. We decided to walk on and go to Herrods to check out the new AG jeans they had on sale. Hopefully we'd be able to sneak the dog in inside Emily's purse.

Sirius POV

All I have to say is: I never knew girls could talk so much. Jesus Christ. We'd already been kicked out of the coffee shop (Starbucks I think… my buddy James goes there a lot when he has to go in the Muggle World for business.) and we finally met up with the girl Emily had been describing to me on the way here.

"You'll like Lily. I always thought she wanted a dog, but apparently her parents never let her have one. She thinks she travels too much to have a dog. Psh, sure. Anyway, you'll see. She's got great hair, she's actually had some modeling jobs for her hair. Its great, very distinctive. We'll be able to spot her in no time…" On and on and on. I mean sure, I love outgoing girls don't get me wrong, and this one was starting to grow on me, but God could she talk!

She was holding me up against her shoulder so my head was facing behind her and I was sitting on her chest, kind of like you hold a baby when you're burping them. Her shoulder length hair kept brushing against my nose and I couldn't help but think about how nice it smelled.
