PerA/N: Well here's the next chapter of Time Turner, for those who were looking forward to it. Thanks to all who reviewed. I had exam week last week but now I get a week off so I will be able to work on this story as well as my others for awhile now.

Disclaimer: Harry Potter belongs to JK Rowling and Warner Bros, all that belongs to me is some original characters that will be in this story and of course the plot line, so no touchy!

Chapter Three: Welcome, to Diagon Alley

Lily and her parents had formed a sort of truce over the discussion of school. She knew they were still upset about it... but they always had to be right, and she knew that they were only letting her go to Hogwarts to prove to her that they were right, and she was wrong. It was sad to know that, because Lily just wished her parents were letting her go to the school out of the goodness of their hearts, knowing how bad she wanted to go. But she knew them well enough to know otherwise... maybe one day, after she proved them wrong, they would learn to accept her for who she was. She had often done things that had been passed off as coincidental all while growing up, and now she knew why. It wasn't very often, just more often then most witches and wizards her age.

The day had come for her parents to make the trip to London, which wasn't too far away from their home, and take her to Diagon Alley. They had been told that only those who knew about it would see it... so it was possible that only Lily would see it. It would depend on her parents, and if they really believed that it was there. Petunia of course had complained and complained, saying that she didn't want to be seen with her freak sister in London, so they had decided that Lily would go with her father, and Petunia would go with their mother their separate ways to buy school supplies.

"Why do you always have to make a big deal out of everything, Petunia?" Lily asked. She was more than tired of her sister's usual routine, usual complaints. Normally she would keep quiet, but she had expected her sister to be happy. She wasn't going to Timeless, and Petunia had gotten accepted in a very well-known school herself. Yet she complained nevertheless, and Lily had had enough of it. Petunia glared at her from over her magazine.

"Shove off Lily, this is a very stupid thing. As if this school even exists," Petunia muttered under her breath. Lily at that moment wished very much that she could use her magical abilities on command, but she couldn't, so she just settled with picturing in her head something horribly embarrassing happening to her sister while they were split up in London. She laughed out loud but stopped when she realized that only she had seen the image and nobody else was laughing. She looked like a lunatic, and apparently Petunia thought so as well. Even though London wasn't an overly long drive away, it was going to be a long drive if it continued like this.

"Alright, well, be careful you two, oh and don't talk to strangers!" Mrs Evans replied. Lily rolled her eyes.

"Mum, are you forgetting the fact that dad is coming with me? And the fact that we may have to talk to strangers considering we will be in an unknown strange place, with no idea where anything is? Just go with Petunia," Lily coaxed. Her mother nodded and walked off with Petunia, and Lily and her father walked up to a building that nobody else seemed to notice.

"Think this is it?" Mr Evans asked. Lily nodded.

"Definitely. Nobody else even realizes its here, look at them, they look like ghosts. Let's go in." Lily grabbed her fathers hand and pushed the door open. They entered a dark bar, filled with the strangest sort of folk. Lily tried hard not to stare, but it was very difficult, particularly when she passed a table of hags. Mr Evans clutched Lily's hand tighter, and tried to quickly maneuver around the tables and get out as quickly as possible. It was then that he realized he had no idea where he was going and what he had to do. He looked around, but obviously found no one familiar. Lily apparently did, though, and walked up to someone.

"Excuse me, Mr... Hagrid, sir? Er... how do we get to Diagon Alley?" Lily asked. Mr Evans turned around. The enormous man from a few nights ago had suddenly appeared nearby, but he most certainly hadn't been around before. A man that size was very easily noticed, even in a place such as the one they were in.

"There yeh are, I was lookin' fer ya, knew ya wouldn't know how ter get ter Diagon Alley." Hagrid waved good bye to the man that was standing behind the counter and motioned for Lily and her father to follow. He led them to the back of the pub and finally outside. They were facing a completely brick wall, and Lily could tell her father was tense. He had watched a lot of TV shows about killers who did something similar, and he was just panicking a little. Hagrid pulled out an umbrella, and Lily had to contain her laughter. Her father looked ready to beg for mercy from a pink umbrella which would be very entertaining. Hagrid tapped the wall and it began to open up. Lily's father almost passed out and even Lily herself let out a little gasp.

Before their eyes, they saw a bright and colourful place... it almost seemed as if it were another world. Stores all along the side of the 'road' and everybody was walking. The people! They were all wearing colourful robes, ranging from the brightest to the darkest of colours. Children were running across the walkway, odd looking witches were sticking their noses up at some children who were wearing basically rags for robes, which made Lily feel sad. I guess its like that in every world... she thought to herself sadly. Hagrid first led her to Gringotts and she had her money converted into their style of coin. He then led her to one of the stores, which turned out to be a robe fitting store. The owner of the store, a woman, came up to Lily and did her fittings for one main pair of robes and two spares, just in case. Lily paid her and they walked out.

"So what do ya think of yer world so far Lily?" Hagrid asked. Lily shrugged.

"To be honest, I don't know. It certainly is interesting," Lily admitted. She looked over at a store called Ollivanders.

"Hagrid, what's that over there?" she asked, pointing at the school. Hagrid looked in the direction she was indicating and smiled, a twinkle in his eye.

"That, Lily Evans, is the wand shop. Ollivander is one o' the best wand makers, he is. But we'll save gettin' yer wand last. Save the best for last, make the day more enjoyable, I think." Hagrid led Lily to the book store to get her school books. He had been wrong to take her there next... to her, this was the best. Flourish and Blotts was filled from top to bottom with books— millions and millions of books! She saw some very advanced magic books, and wanted to get it, but decided to move past it and decided to first get the books she needed and then worry about those she was interested in getting for her own pleasure.

"Wow, this store is brilliant!" Lily exclaimed after she purchased her school books. She handed them over to her father and ran over to the charms section. She opened one of the books and saw what exactly charms were and immediately became interested. "Wow... Charms looks like so much fun! I think I'll get this book as well," she decided, "And this one, 'Hogwarts: A History' it looks like a good read." Lily grabbed a few more books, bought them, and walked out of the store. After they went to get her potion ingredients and her owl... a beautiful tawny owl, with brilliant golden eyes. Now, the moment had come for Lily's wand. Mr Evans hadn't talked much, but while she went to get her wand, he opened up her "Hogwarts: A History" book and sat outside on a bench to read it. He would never admit it to Lily, but some of the things in this book was actually interesting. Wasn't Hogwarts the name of the school that Lillian wants to go to? Mr Evans pondered. He continued reading through the book, convincing himself it was merely due to lack of anything for him to do.

Meanwhile, Lily was inside, getting her wand. She stepped into Ollivanders and immediately felt a mood change. The store was dark inside, almost spooky. Rows and rows of boxes lay behind a desk, and there was a chair with a bunch of wooden sticks... WANDS! Lily realized... on it. There appeared, at the moment, to be no one there. Lily decided while waiting, she would peek around the stoor. It seemed very disorganized, and she wondered how the greatest wand maker's store could be so disorganized, when a deep voice startled her.

"Ah, Miss Evans... finally coming to Hogwarts I see?" a man with graying hair and silver gray eyes that stared at her so deep they penetrated her soul. Lily gulped, and nodded. Hagrid walked over and sat as best as he could on a nearby chair.

"Mum, please, can we focus on me for a moment? I'm sorry but you've been worrying about Lily this whole time, and its rather frustrating. She's with daddy isn't she? She'll be fine!" Petunia crossed her arms. Her sister had always come off as the favourite, but she was technically the 'baby' out of the two. Barely, Petunia thought crossly. Lily was only a few months younger, and yet she still got treated as the baby. At first Petunia liked how her parents just let her off without paying to much attention to her. Now, she wanted some attention, and at what to her was a very important time, her mother was worrying about Lily. Again. Mrs Evans smiled apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Petunia. You're right, Lily is with her father and will be perfectly fine. I think the blue one suits you best, dear," Mrs Evans added, nodding at the two dresses that were in Petunia's hand. Petunia held up the blue dress to herself and looked in the mirror.

"Yes, I think you're right." They walked up, paid for the dress, and left the store. They had already gotten Petunia's books, her uniform, and a few other unnecessary things. It was time for them to head back to the car, to hopefully meet Lily and her father. When they reached the car however, after a short walk, Mr Evans and Lily were nowhere near the car. Immediately, Mrs Evans began to panic. Petunia, satisfied that they were done shopping and she really didn't need her mother's attention, got into the car and turned the radio on.

Mr Evans was still waiting outside of Ollivanders for Lily and the enormous bulk of a man to come out when he noticed several children running towards a store. He, out of curiosity, got up and went in the same direction to see what the fuss was about. What he saw didn't exactly impress him. Why, they were looking at a broom of all things! Sure, it was certainly very well polished, but it was a broom! Were the stereotypes of witches riding broomsticks true? Looking at a moving poster on the door that showed a girl near three large hoops that looked like basketball hoops riding a broomstick proved that the stereotypes were indeed true. Mr Evans saw Hagrid come out of Ollivanders, and hurried over towards him and his daughter, who was now carrying her wand.

"Well, sir, I... thank you, for helping us here. However we must leave as it is the arranged time for us to meet my wife and my other daughter at our car. Er... good bye, then." Mr Evans replied rather awkwardly. Hagrid followed them as far as the Leaky Cauldron, and then they separated as Hagrid sat at the counter to order his usual drink.

When they got outside, Mrs Evans was pacing around the car worriedly and when she saw them she ran up to them.

"Oh thank goodness! When you weren't here, I thought perhaps something had gone wrong, and I tried to get to that... place, but there was a brick wall and it was impossible to climb over, and nobody offered to help at all. Oh where were you!" Mrs Evans exclaimed. Mr Evans explained to her, and calmed her down. Lily got into the car and opened one of her new books and began reading. Petunia looked over at her, nose in the air.

"Is that all you ever do is read?" she asked. Lily glared at her.

"Is that all you ever do, Petunia, is complain? For your information, it was reading that got me accepted into Timeless. You might try it sometime in the future," Lily replied coolly. She and her sister had never really gotten along, but for whatever reason it seemed even worse lately. Perhaps it was the stress of getting accepted into schools, or perhaps it was that they were growing older and thus growing further apart. Whatever the reason, it actually made Lily sad. Petunia was her sister, and she had always pictured sisters to be close, best friends. To share their secrets, to share their problems... and her and Petunia had never had that kind of relationship. Lily had no real friends, so she didn't share anything with anyone. Any problems she had, any secrets... were all locked up inside of her, bursting to be set free.

A/N: Well that's the end of this chapter and since I get next week off I will get more chapter's up. I would have continued this story, but it's title involves Diagon Alley and that's all for actually Diagon Alley. Again, it will get a little more brief (as in not detail for every single day) after this beginning part. Like for her first day of school it will be a bit detailed as well but afterwards it will go by quicker and soon enough, it will be Lily's second year. Well, not for awhile yet, but soon. Please review, leave me a comment and let me know what you think about this chapter of Time Turner. Thanks for reading, thanks in advance for reviewing, and until the next chapter...
