A/N: Hello… I find it strange that I'm still updating this story so often even though I only actually have around five reviewers… oh well… I enjoy writing this story so I will but I'm hoping to get more reviews soon… Thanks to all those who already review… much appreciated.

Hope you enjoyed HBP.

It had taken awhile for Harry to get used to his new inheritances but get used to them he had. As Harry no longer required living with Vernon (he had stopped calling him uncle years ago; he's not a blood relative so why should he…) he had already talked to him about moving out within the next two to three months and honestly, Vernon couldn't have been happier to lose one more burden.

True to his promise, Harry met Lily at the school gates on his new motorbike which he decided he now loved. After the knowledge of riding it and the licence had been passed to Harry, he had no problems with it.

Although Lily did.

It took a long while to persuade Lily to get on the bike and even when she did, it was absolutely impossible to stop her screaming in Harry's ears all the way to the mall.

Glad for a break from the screaming, Harry happily dismounted the bike with Lily not far behind.

"God, Harry! I don't know how you can ride that thing! It's an accident waiting to happen!" panted Lily, obviously tired from her screaming for which Harry was grateful; it meant less shops for him!

Harry didn't say anything but only walked into the mall with Lily jogging to catch up all the while muttering to herself about where she planned to go.

With quite a bit of steering from Lily as this was the first time Harry had actually been to the mall, she finally led him to a small shop around the middle of the shopping centre. Looking around, Harry immediately knew that she could spend ages in here. Though the shop was small, it was cosy looking and housed hundreds of boys styles and patterns.

With a squeal from Lily, she was off grabbing items off the shelves and chucking them into Harry's hands. After the pile was so large Harry could barely see over it leave alone walk, Lily led him into the changing rooms and told him to try them on.

"All of them?" asked Harry with shock, his voice muffled by the pile of clothes.

"Yup!" said Lily simply, leaving no room for argument.

She waited outside the changing rooms while Harry fashioned each piece of clothing.

After much consideration from Lily and much clothes changing from Harry they had finally picked a whole fifteen items to purchase! These ranged from jeans to pants, t-shirts to dress shirts, beach wear and more.

Finally happy with the clothing purchases, Lily bounced out of the store leaving a cursing Harry to carry the five bags. It took a while to spot Lily amidst all the shoppers but she soon came back to fetch him.

"Lils, where to now?" asked Harry

"The hairdressers!"

"Erm… Lils, you might want to save them the trouble… nobody can tame my hair." Pointed out Harry, his hair flopping into his eyes as though proving a point.

"Hmmm" was all Lily said while scrutinizing Harry's hair, "I think we can…"

Resigned to the fact that he was part of a shopping disaster Harry followed Lily into the Barbers.

Harry hardly had time to breathe from the moment he entered the shop; Lily took all his bags and three ladies came up to him. One fastened him into the chair, one put on the cloak to cover his clothes and one brought up all the equipment to cut his hair.

The first one then went over to Lily who promptly started having a chat to her about what hairstyles would suit Harry. Finally they agreed on something, though Harry had no clue what, and they began cutting his hair.

45 minutes later and Harry was none the wiser what they were trying to do though at least half his mop of hair now lay on the floor. After another 15 minutes the woman cutting his hair pronounced it finished and gave him some gel and tips on how to style it.

Looking back into the mirror after her demonstration styling, Harry was shocked to see that his hair looked tame and moreover, it looked good! Not too short and not too long, it was held in place by only a tiny bit of gel and it looked fabulous. Even Lily who came up squealing at how good he looked thought so!

"Are we done now?" asked Harry, though with a smile on his face.

"Yes, we are," laughed Lily, happy that he was happy, "Shall we go get some lunch?"

"Amen!" was all Harry said before running off to the food court and leaving Lily to carry the bags, albeit very grudgingly.

After a nice warm lunch and Lily all the while discussing their shopping trip, they finally left for the motorbike.

"Hey, Harry, how are we getting all these bags not to fly off the bike?" asked Lily resigned to the fact that they would be riding the wretched contraption again.

"Oh there's a small pouch around the back we can stuff them into" said Harry airily as he was standing there admiring the bike.

Rolling her eyes at Harry, Lily found it and managed to stuff all their purchases into the bike.

After the short ride home and more screaming from Lily, even Harry was happy to say the shopping trip went well.

"Thanks for everything Lils," said Harry with a hug outside Lily's house.

"No probs," laughed Lily, hugging right back (they'd taken to hugging a lot recently)

"I'm just glad you're happy."

"Bye!" called Harry, already halfway to the bike.

With a whole stash of new clothes, a great new hairdo and more confidence than when he left home in the morning, Harry felt refreshed enough to do just about anything!

A/N: Sorry if that chapter was a bit boring or corny… I'm technically supposed to be finishing by science fair project but hey, I decided to do this instead. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it.

Please Review!
