Chapter Three

DC: I don't own Harry Potter

James woke up to his bed going up and down. He opened his eyes, and saw the blurry outline of little Lily jumping on his bed. He turned around and grabbed his glasses. He turned back to her, lifting up his head.

"Evans what are you doing?"

"My names not Evans, its Lily."

James rolled his eyes. Even at the tender age of four, she still had that little attitude in her. "Okay, Lily, what are you doing?"

"Trying to wake you up. You are a heavy seeper."

James collapsed back onto his pillow. He looked at his watch, and it read seven-fifteen. He sighed. Lily noticed, and finally stopped jumping. She climbed onto his chest. "What's wrong Daddy Jamie?" She asked.

"It's early." He answered. "I usually get just a little more sleep."

"I am sorry." Lily said. Her lower lip started to tremble, and her eyes got watery.

"No! Don't cry!" James said, lifting his head up again.

"JAMES!"

James looked over. Sirius and Remus stared at him. "Why is Lily on your chest like that?" Remus asked.

They got the wrong idea. "NO! It's…it's not like that!"

"Yeah I climbed on Daddy Jamie's lungs." Lily said. "He didn't tell me too. I just said he was a heavy seeper."

"His lungs?" Sirius asked. Remus tried to hold in his laughter. "Yeah okay." He added. They let James off this time, even though he didn't do anything at all.

Lily hopped off James's chest, and started to wander around the dormitory. She couldn't see too well in the dark last night, and wanted a good look around. So as Remus, James, and Sirius talked, she poked her head into Frank Longbottom's hangings. She saw a semi-awake boy. She tilted her head.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"Ah, Lily!"

Sirius pulled her out of the hangings, and apologized to Frank. Frank didn't know what was going on, so he waved it off. He just went straight into the bathroom.

"So anyone hungry?" James asked.

--------

Sirius held Lily's hand as they walked down to the Great Hall. The three boys were fully dressed, but Lily was still in her nightgown. They really needed to go to Hogsmeade.

Lily sat on James's books again, and he dished her plate up. She had some eggs, juice (Filled to the brim), and a piece of toast. This time she didn't play with her food before she ate it. She just ate it.

"So what are we going to do with Lily, this summer?" James asked.

"We could go wading in the lake with her." Remus suggested.

"Teach her loads of pranks!"

"No!" James and Remus said at the same time.

"I was only joking." Sirius said with a mischievous smile.

"We're going to watch you." Remus said.

"Oh no!"

They looked over. Lily spilled her juice all over her half eaten toast and eggs. James took his wand and cleaned it all up. Remus refilled her cup. Halfway this time.

"Wow! It's like magic!" Lily said as she watched James clean up the mess.

"It is magic." Sirius said. "And when you turn eleven you can do that too."

"Wow." Lily said. "I can't wait!"

--------

Well first things were first. They needed to take Lily to Hogsmeade to get her some summer clothes. They too would some things from their own houses. Luckily Dumbledore allowed them to floo home to get those things. They decided to go one at a time, after they shopped for Lily's clothes.

Lily happily walked down to Hogsmeade in her nightgown and sandals. Madame Pomfrey also gave her those sandals. She just didn't have the right regular clothes for Lily.

She also watched as other students went onto the big red train. "Where are they going?" She asked.

"They're going home." James replied. He was a little saddened at the thought.

"We're already home, aren't we?" Lily asked. James, Remus, and Sirius smiled.

"Yeah you're right."

They went deeper into Hogsmeade. At first they didn't know where they were going. They hadn't been this far, into the only wizard community, for a long while. James finally found a store called, 'One Size fits All' and they went inside.

"Welcome!" there was a little witch behind the counter. "Shopping for all?"

"Oh no…Just for my…er…little niece here." Remus lied. The witch took a look at Lily.

"Oh she's cute! The children's section is over to your left."

The four of them went over to the little section. Lily started to try on things, without them even realizing it.

"Lily!" James said. She had her nightgown off, and was standing there with only her underwear on. She had a little shirt in her hand. "We need to do this in an orderly fashion."

Lily put her nightgown back on, and went around picking out clothes. They were all…so colorful, and clashing. But they let her try on the clothes anyway.

"Er…Lily?" Sirius asked. She was sporting a neon green shirt with hot pink shorts. "How about we try this?"

Lily saw the dark green shorts. "Otay Uncle Siri!"

Remus helped her out of the pink shorts, and into the green ones. The green ones were much better. So they helped her a little more on what colors to pick.They then went towards the dreaded section: Little Women's Knickers Section

"Ahh…" James said.

"Well…" Sirius said.

"Hmm…" Remus said.

"I like these!"

Lily picked up little red ones. She picked up a lot of little red ones. Well they didn't quite want to help her try them on,and they didn't know what sized she actually wore,so they asked the little witch behind the counter to help her.

"Sure. It would feel awkward wouldn't it?"

"Yeah…" The three of them said.

The witch found the right size of red underwear, and then they found a little swimsuit and new nightgown. It fit Lily perfectly. They then they paid for her clothes. Luckily Dumbledore provided them with money.

"Thanks for shopping at One Size Fits All! Come again!"

They waved the lady goodbye, and headed back up to Hogwarts. By now all the students had left, and some teachers were leaving too. Actually the only ones staying were the Headmaster, Hagrid, and Professor McGonagall. Hagrid wasn't there at the moment though. He was doing something at his house.

"Is the Doctor going to leave too?" Lily asked. They were now sitting at a little round table. Since there was no need for four long tables, and only a few people were staying, they only needed that little one.

"No. She's going to stay." McGonagall answered.

Lily looked at McGonagall. She had never seen her before. "You have winkles like Grandpa…You must be Grandma!"

Sirius choked on his juice. Remus and James held their tongue, and Dumbledore smiled.

"Er…" McGonagall started. She was a little confused.

"Yes she is! Good guess Miss Lily!" Dumbledore said.

Lily smiled and continued with her lunch. McGonagall gave Dumbledore a look, but Dumbledore just smiled. There was no use trying to get Lily confused.

--------

Afterwards, Lily took a nap. The three Marauders took turns watching over Lily, and going to their houses to pick up their summer clothes.

They also had to move their things to a different room, including Lily's Hogwarts things. Dumbledore gave them a room closer to the first floor, so they wouldn't have to travel all the way up the steps, or down for that matter.

The room looked the same as their dormitory in Gryffindor Tower. There were only four beds, one being a little one for Lily. James set his things next to the bed he claimed. Remus came into the room, carrying Lily. He set her on her little bed.

"So this is our new room?" Remus asked. James nodded.

"It's almost the same." He said. He sat on his bed. "Hopefully Padfoot can find his way down…in fact, I'd better go wait for him."

He left Remus with Lily, and went back up to the Gryffindor Tower.

Lala Rue here!

I felt like updating something so I updated this! Yay! I feel good!

I love little Lily, and all her cuteness! But she has a little evil side in her, and you will see it in later chapters. You kind of saw it in Chapter Two. She looked like she was going to murder that chicken all over again!

Well. I'll update soon if I can get some reviews!

Love, Lala Rue!
