The Twelve Year Split

Lily Evans has just received a letter in the mail that she is to be accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. James Potter has just found the love of his life. For the next twelve years, an outsider looks in to watch their lives as they, and

9. Back to Diagon Alley

Meet in Diagon Alley at the ice

Cream shop! We'll all be there!

Love from, Skye

Lily excitedly hurried upstairs to finish packing. Then, she and her parents headed to Diagon Alley. While her parents shopped around in the stores, Lily met up with her friends at the ice cream parlor. They hugged each other, said hello, and sat down to talk. They had just begun the conversation of boys when the boys showed up. James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter were all staring at them from the table next to them. They were talking rather loudly, making fun of all four of them.

"Come on, Skye, you know you love me. C'mon, give me a kiss, right here," he said arrogantly, pointing to his cheek. Skye looked at her friends and walked towards Sirius. She sighed, smiled a little bit, and leaned forward. Just then, SLAP! She slapped him right across the face. The girls laughed and high-fived each other.

Sirius rubbed his cheek, and James pointed out, "Oi! Evans, you're not going to let him get all of the attention are you? C'mon, I want a kiss! What, no comments? No mean faces?" He said, smirking.

Lily looked over to the boys who were bawling with laughter. She looked him straight in the eye, and instead of insulting him, tried to make him feel really, really bad.

"James Potter, I'm so disappointed in you. How could you do such a cruel thing to people who never did anything to you? Come on girls, let's go somewhere else."

The girls got up, with fake sad looks on their faces. Ariel even managed a fake tear. Remus noticed, and got very squirmy after that. The boys followed them around for the rest of the day, poking and making fun of them for being big babies. The girls ran ahead of them on the street, and hid behind a wall. The boys ran after them, but when they entered the alley, they were alone. The girls snuck up behind them, and poured gallons of tar all over them. Then, Skye, who had her broom, flew over them with feathers and signs that read, "I am an idiot! I surrender to the Divines!"

The girls ran off laughing, as the boys stood there in the alley, in shock, as this was their first time being pranked on.
