Johnny

"There you are! Now, let's head off to Diagon Alley!" cried Dumbledore cheerfully as they arrived in Diagon alley. "How did the hearings go?

Sirius winked at Lily. "Perfect. Though it got rather boring and the jury slugged on for a while but...hey, are we sticking with you while why get our supplies?" said Sirius, rather rudely. "Sirius!" hissed Lily quietly.

But Dumbledore chuckled, his eyes crinkled, and the light reflected the laugh lines on his face. "Actually Lily, it's quite alright, I have erronds of my own to run. I think you all know where Florean Fortescue's ice cream shop is?" The 3 teens nodded. "In that case, we'll meet there in 1 hour and 1/2. Is that alright?"

"That's quite enough time." said Lily.

"Alright now, you three stick together!" said Dumbledore, as he walked off.

"That's okay with me." James said, as he winked at Lily.

Lily pretended she didn't she didn't notice. Or that's what James thought. It was unusual that Lily didn't roll her eyes at James' flirting.

"Earth to Lily!" he tried, waving his hand in front of her eyes, which were staring straight ahead. James looked over to what she was staring at, just as Lily broke out of her trance, and shouted, "Johnny!"

"Huh?" said James, as Lily broke into a run toward a tall boy with dark hair and a muscular build, that James recognized as a one of the boys going into 5th year...and they were still going into 4th! James also recognized him as the seeker of the Ravenclaw team...plus, at the moment, he was hugging Lily...his Lily! All of this made him a potential enemy!

"Bad luck, mate." muttered Sirius, as the 2 of them walked over to where Lily was hugging Johnny, as they forced to stick with her.

"Sooo..." said Sirius awkwardly, watching the 2 of them finally pull apart. "Who's...new kid?"

"I'm Johnny. Johnny Depp." said the boy, who stood just a few inches over James and Sirius. He gave them both a firm handshake. "And you are of course, James and Sirius. Lily'a told me plenty about you two." Lily blushed.

"Well, I'm sure you could tell us plenty about your life story, but we really do have to go." James snapped. And he grabbed Lily and Sirius' hand, and dragged them off to shop, leaving Johnny standing there, dumbfounded.

Lily pulled back as soon as they were a few feet away into the crowd, and began shouting. "What was that?" demanded Lily. "You never even gave him a chance! And who are you to drag us off like that?"

"Yeah, James," said Sirius, trying to make a joke out of it. You look like a teenage girl, who doesn't want to miss a sale at her favorite mall!"

James glared at him, and then swore and looked away.

"I just want to hurry up so we can get back home soon," said James, in a calmer, but undeniably troubled, voice.

"Whatever you say, chief," said Lily sarcastically, and the three of them did their shopping in an awkward silence, with the occasional silence-breaker from Sirius, who was walking between the 2 of them, joking, trying to avoid more snapping.

And as she walked along side Sirius, checking out the latest books by her favorite author in Flourish and Blotts, Lily wondered, What in the world was he thinking?

And as James examined a flower that squirted water, a muggle like sort of thing, in Zonko's, he wondered, What in the world was I thinking...
