Lily got up eager to go to Diagon Alley. She dressed and went downstairs to find her whole family waiting for her. Lily ate her breakfast, cleaned the table with petunia, and read a little bit. By the time she finished the book it was 12:00.
"Mum, Dad I am going right now", lily said to her parents.
"Are you sure you don't want a lift," he mother asked.
"No thanks Mother, I told you I know how to apparate," lily said.
"Oh yes, you can vanish just like that." Her father snapped his fingers.
"Yes father just like that." Lily Laughed. Lily went upstairs and took her wallet. After a few minutes, she found her self in front of the leaky cauldron.
Remembering the first time she came here, she entered.
"Hello Miss want something," Tom the young man said. The bar was full of people, two couple where smoking a pipe. Lily smiled at Tom.
"No thank you Tom, just passing by", lily said. Tom smiled back and went to serve another customer.
Lily went across the bar saying "hi" To a few people. She finally reached Diagon Alley's entrance. Lily tapped the blocks with her wand. The wall opened showing Diagon Alley. Lily smiled. She missed this place.

"Mr. Potter sir, wake up sir", Bublin the house elf tried to wake James up.
"Mhaawwaaa Lilaaa." That was what the elf got from James.
"Your impossible Mister," Bublin said to his sleeping master. Bublin would've bought Mr. Potter his older master here but he and his wife wont be back until later. Bublin sighed. He looked around and found a lily on the bedside table.
It must be from the Mrs., Bublin thought.
And as soon as he grabbed it he knew he thought right, a get-well card lay on the bedside table. Yes, his master was ill for a few days. Flu has gotten him. Just then, an idea had occurred to him, what if his master woke up from the spell of the lily. Bublin has heard his master saying the word lily when sleep. Bublin held the lily to his master's nose.
"Come on master smell the lily." Now Bublin had thought his master would stir a little or open an eye, but what Bublin wasn't expecting was for his master to jump so fast open his eyes and say…
"Lily, L…l…lily is here b…b…but its morning I have to get a shower and…and…and Bublin why are you here." Bublin finally smiled at his master after finally finishing the fit he was throwing.
"Master, Bublin just tried to wake the young master up with the smell of a lil.." but Bublin couldn't finish his sentence for his master had just sneezed and his skin started doing bubbles. Bublin heard his master gasp before he fainted to the floor.

"It's ok Bublin I am sure James is ok," Sirius said. He was at the Potters trying to calm the house elf.
"But sir you have no damn idea wha… oh my god I am sorry sir I am sorry for being rude oh sorry," the house elf said. Horrified tears fell on his big round face.
"Really Bublin its ok," Sirius said, Again trying to calm the elf. But at that moment, James's parents entered.
"Oh what happened to him what is wrong with his skin why…what…when", James's mother kneeled beside James. She put her hand on his forehead but quickly pulled back because James's skin was hot as the water when boiled.
"What happened? Oh we need to take him to…." James's mother started crying. So, Sirius thought it was time to do something.
"Mrs. Potter I bet you anything that James will be ok," Sirius said.
"How do you know that Sirius," James's father said.
"Well it happened once before in school when a fan sent him lilies but he was ok after an hour," Sirius explained.
"Madam Pomfery told us it was an allergy," Sirius continued.
"Are you sure," James's mother said.
"Yes I am positive." Sirius smiled warmly.
"Now Sirius did I hear you right when you called me Mrs. Potter, Sirius we went thorough this you call me Mum and John Dad okay," James's mother said.
"Uh yeah I guess," Sirius said blushing.
"Lets hope he gets better for tomorrow," James's mother said. Sirius nodded he knew James will want to go to Eliza's party tomorrow.
………………………………………
Lily walked out from Flourish and Blotts with her brand new books. She looked around. She didn't find her friends yet, so she decided to go have some drinks. Lily was just going to enter when she heard someone calling her.
"Lily we're here come", her friend Emily called her. Lily turned around and hugged her friend.
"We've been looking for you," Emily said. "Come we're on that table."
Emily pointed to a table in the back of the shop. Lily grinned. She and Emily walked to the table.
"Lily," everyone exclaimed. They all stood up to greet her. Lily noticed another girl sitting.
"Hi," the girl said.
"Hello", lily shook hands with the girl.
"This is Marlene. She's my cousin," Eliza said. Marlene looked like Eliza only her hair was short.
"She transformed to Hogwarts," Eliza said. When they sat lily noticed that Anna was not there.
"Where is Ann," Lily asked.
"She said she will be late," Alice said.
"She has a surprise for us," Emily said grinning. Everyone looked at her. Emily giggled.
"Yeah I have a surprise for you." Everyone looked around at Anna, They gasped.
"What have you done," Eliza said. Anna's brown hair was now purple.
"Nice isn't it?" Anna said. She sat.
"Wow Anna you look great," Lily said.
"Thank you." Anna beamed.
"Shall I bring drinks," Lily asked. Everyone nodded. Lily stood up as Eliza introduced Marlene to Anna.

The marauders, Mr. and Mrs. Potter were all in Diagon Alley having chocolate frogs. Normally James would not want to be seen with his parents, but since they were already in the house, James invited them to come.
James skin etched. This morning his elf had made him smell a lily. James has Allergy from Lilies. His friends enjoy teasing him about that especially because he likes a girl whose name is Lily.
"…And then James stripped and ran in the neighborhood screaming like crazy", James's mum finished telling another embarrassing story about him.
"Now Anita leave the boy some dignity," his father said grinning.
"Really John you'd think I told them about the time when he…" and she continued her story about James.
James looked around, Diagon Alley was full of people today, but he couldn't find the only person he was looking for…
"Jamie my boy who are you looking for?" his father asked.
"Oh no one father," James said. He reddened.
"Yeah right he's looking for Evans," Sirius said. James glared at him.
"No I'm not," James said. Sirius just smirked.
"Is that true James, do have feelings for that girl," his mother said.
"No mother so please drop it," James said sinking down his chair. He never blushed like this.
"Yeah right that's why you asked her out over five hundred times." Remus couldn't help but to say. James glared at Remus.
"And what did she say?" his mum Asked. She looked from James to his friends.
"No," James whispered.
"I didn't hear you James," his mother said.
"She said no," Peter said.
"That she'd rather date the giant squad," Sirius said.
"That he's no better than Snape," Remus said.
"Thank you very much best friends for explaining that so clearly" James said.
"Well, we need to repay some stories," Remus said. And that's how they started telling stories about him and lily. James looked around again when he glimpsed it, that beautiful red hair.
"Father I'm bringing some drinks," James said.
"James," his father whispered. "Be nice."
James looked at his father as he winked. James smiled then he went to get drinks.
………………………..
Lily was buying drinks for her friends when James came.
"Hello lily flower," James said.
"Go away Potter", lily snapped.
"I'm buying drinks for my family and friends," James said.
"Why James, are you stile a baby, cant you come without mummy and daddy," lily said. But just as she finished her snap, she saw a look of hurt in James's eyes. that's when lily first realized that James looked different. His usual bright hazel eyes were now so dark. His usual smirk now faded to thin lips and a fake smile. His messy hair was even messier.
"Potter what happened to you." lily couldn't help but to ask. James looked startled. He turned to her and smiled a fake smile.
"Nothin' Evans," James said. He took his drinks and went away.
"Lady… hey there lady I don't have the whole day," the bartender said.
"Yeah sorry." lily took her drinks and went to her seat with her friends.
"What took you so long?" Eliza said.
"Yeah my throat is dry as a desert," Emily said.
"Sorry I saw Potter," lily said setting the drink on the table as she sat.
"Here!" Anna said.
"Where is Alice?" Lily Asked. Her friend was nowhere to be seen.
"She went to franky," Eliza said. They laughed.
"So… was Si...Black with him?" Eliza said blushing.
"I can't believe you stile like him," Anna said.
"He'll dump you after a week," Emily said.
"Or less," lily said.
"I don't want to date him," Eliza said.
"Yeah right" Anna said. She rolled her eyes.
"Okay yes I do want to date him, but I wont", Eliza said.
"So if he came here right now and asked you out, will you say no", Anna said.
"Difficultly, but yes I would," Eliza said.
"That's if she could speak at all," Emily said. They laughed as Eliza glared
"And to think I invited you to my party", Eliza said. Everyone laughed.
"So why are you doing a party anyways," Anna said.
"To welcome me back," Marlene said.
"Why? Where were you?" Lily asked.
"In France," Marlene said.
"Really," Emily said.
"Yes," Marlene said.
"So do you know how to speak French?" Anna asked.
"Not really, I was in a British school", Marlene said.
"Who's going to the party," Lily asked Eliza.
"The people I know are you and you families, the Lupins, the Blacks, and the Potters."
"What?" lily said. "Potter is coming."
"Of course, his parents and mine are friends from along time ago, plus we are related," Eliza explained.
"Your what?" Lily exclaimed.
"Come on Lily, we purebloods are all related. I am related to Black and Lupin too," Eliza said.
"Why haven't you told me?" lily said.
"Well it's not like we are close related but we are."
"Well I know when I was young I was arranged to marry a boy called James Potter," Marlene said. Lily who just took as sip from her drink spit it out.
"But his parents didn't agree", Marlene said.
"You had to marry Potter?" Lily said.
"No, not really, I told you I was arranged to marry him," Marlene said.
"Wow this is new," Anna said.
"Yeah Marly, I never knew," Eliza said.
"So is he coming to the Party," Marlene said.
"Yeah, but unlucky to you, he only have eyes for lily," Emily said smirking. Lily blushed.
"You're his Girlfriend," Marlene asked.
"No and I would never be," Lily said.
