A Trip to Remember Part 2

Lily POV

So, James, Sirius, Gwyn, Dia, Remus and I all went to the Three Broomsticks as 3 couples, and got one large table but sat next to our dates. Sirius started conversation, "FOOD!" he yelled when Madame Rosmerta got our butterbeers. Gwyn had to calm him down, "Sirius, it isn't food. It is a DRINK. Oh no! Be careful!" the warning came too late, Sirius had tipped over the mug and it spilled all over Rita Abbott from Ravenclaw house and her friends, Evylen Rossomow and Yvonnia Uzerbef. (They were foreign exchanges except for Rita) "Sorry about my boyfriend, Rita. He likes his "food"..." Gwyn tried to apologize for Sirius but since they knew who she was, they huffed off. They were part of the "Marauder Fan Club", and were mad at the Gryffindor girls for quote unquote "stealing" them away.

We were always unwelcome into the social circles of the school for we were the top of the social ladder. The only kind 7th year girls were in Hufflepuff. They all had crushes on the Ravenclaw men, and didn't mind having Gryffindor friends. We were disrupted from our fun by the incident. Which only further reminded us of our outcastness (A/N: is it a word?) Sirius got another butterbeer (in a mug with an unbreakable charm on it. thanks to me.) and we all enjoyed, talking happily about the ball.

Slowly, James and I peeled away from the group and went to Zonko's. The last place anyone would look for me, they thought I was too serious. But Sirius is Sirius! I thought. It made me laugh which made me look like a physco loon to James. But he didn't care. He simply showed me the different pranks. "Oh, and this is a cockroach cluster! Great for shows! These have charms put on them to make them taste great, but look like bugs to anyone else. They call them "FUGS!" 'cause they are Fake bUGs! Get it?" I laughed. I had never in my life been to a more interestingly odd shop than Zonko's. It had everything. ; From a bag of all natural flavored Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans (too natural if you ask me) to Prank kits. From "How to make your teachers grow green hair" and "Eat me! Everlasting chocolate frogs, Eat one, and another will appear in your HAND!" I never before had so much fun in a shop, and so I said "James, this is so great. This has been the best time I have ever had in a shop..." "Oh Lily, Just lighten up! It's all fun if you make it that way!" he answered. We slowly walked out of the store with our pockets filled with Zonko's pranks. I was beaming, "OH! James, we were supposed to meet the others 5 minutes ago!"

"Don't worry. They don't know where we were. They don't think ANYONE could get you inside that shop!"

"Ok, we'll just wait."

About 10 minutes later, the whole lot of them came back to the Three Broomsticks.
"WHERE WERE YOU????" Dia and Remus asked at the same time. Dia looked worried and nervous while Remus looked nervous and sad. We obviously interrupted something big by going to Zonko's.

"At Zonko's!" I said. If I said it, they would believe it. If James said it, they all would think he was JOKING.

"REALLY PRONGS? Nice job! I never thought that could be done... Getting a bookworm into Zonko's. Good work deputy!" Sirius babbled. He was like a brook; he flowed on and on...

"Lils? What's going on? Only a month ago, you were friends. And now, he can get you into ZONKO'S while me, Dia and....HER tried for years and couldn't?" Gwyn asked disbelievingly.

"Well, yeah. I was just being polite, but now I am so sorry I didn't go with you! That place is so totally awesome!"

"What?" They were so confounded. I NEVER used those surfer dude phrases, but I just felt like a change.

"OK James! What did you do with lily?" Dia asked

"Nothing! SHE is the one who wanted to go!"

"Can we separate now?" Gwyn asked

"No Gwyn! Don't leave me! This was our first ever date!" Sirius pleaded.

"I'm NOT leaving you! I was asking if we could go shopping with our respective groups. You know, Flowas and Marauders."

"Who are the Flowas?" Sirius asked confusedly

"Dia, Lils and I! No, actually the Flowas are Rita, Yvonnia, and Evylen! OF course they are us!" Gwyn said exasperatedly

"OH!" The Marauders chorused

"Sure then. I was just testing you!" Sirius said cheerfully. You would have thought Gwyn was his lifeline with the way he talked.

"SURE YOU WERE!" all of the rest of us said

Dia and Gwyn pulled me away.

"WHAT? It's true! I never went and he obviously spends a load of time there so I asked him to take me."

"OH! OK. So this is one of those things to show you care for him and his interests aren't it?" Gwyn said. Analyzing what I say into the language of teen romance.

"Well sort of. I want to change my image and I want him to know I am fun." I said

"Ok. And then you'll tell him you like him during the ball? You better promise!"

"YA! I will! I like him so much....."

"Good! Then let's go shopping!"

So they went to Frills and Bows a new dress shop and got an old Victorian-like dress for me that was blood red and had white trim and had a low neckline. And got a blue-yellow-white-red mix dress for Gwyn, (A/N: you know the one that Snow White wears? That SAME EXACT THING, THE ORIGINAL.) "That's the Snow White original, that is. Mint-condition, 20 Galleons for the lass who wants it that is half price." The store-keeper said.

"OH! That's great! Yes, I would like it please." Gwyn

"You might want to try it on, sweetheart, though it looks like it would be PERFECT for you, dahling. 20 Galleons is a lot." A New Yorker shopkeeper said,

"OK! You two look for the perfect dress for Dia." Gwyn said, happily.

"'kay, Gwyn. We'll find it…" I said.

"Oh my god, LILY! There's THE DRESS!"

She was pointing at a full length dark violet dress, completely laced across the sides and a v-neck, that was the medieval like dress Violet owned, or something quite like it, just modernized a bit. (A/N: I know, I know. They don't have "Titanic" the movie, or "The series of unfortunate events" but you guys, WORK WITH ME. The ball will have modern songs too…) Gwyn came out looking great; the dress fit snugly and showed off her figure. "OMG, Gwyn! Sirius will be so busy protecting his girl during the ball; you won't be able to dance!" Dia joked "Yeah, she's right Gwyn! You're on FIRE! Actually, not really since I have the red dress but you know…" I said, funnily. We all laughed. Then we headed quickly back to the castle before the ball. We wanted to get ready early.

And that's the end of that…. WHATCHA THINK? Well tell me by visiting the little box right…

Here!
