1I own nothing. Except for Sophie and Dawn. Song is Jack Johnson. Everything else is JKR.

Fall is here, hear the yell
Back to school, ring the bell
Brand new shoes, walking blues
Climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we are going to be friends
Yes I can tell that we are going to be friends

Sophie smiled as she watched the familiar red head stride towards her table outside of the ice cream shop. Pushing her long brown hair behind her ear she stood to hugged her friend.

"Lily its been forever. How have you been? How are James and Harry?"

The other woman sat down before answering. "They are absolutely perfect. So, tell me everything?"

And the conversation began to flow as the two gossiped. An outsider would assume these two talked on a regular basis. But they would be surprised to know that Lily ans Sophie hadn't seen each other since the summer before their seventh year, 3 years ago. Sophie lived in America until just recently. She had originally met Lily in a sort of magical student exchange program in which both students would spend the summer at the others home. Both girls had become so close that they had kept in touch over the years following the end of the program. And now sitting face to face once more it was as if they had been together the whole time.

"So the Government of Magic in America transferred me here to gain as much intel on this dark wizard that's been labeled as a threat. The ministry placed me with some crazy old wizard by the name of Alastor Moody. You know him?"

Lily laughed out before nodding. "Yes I've meet old Mad-eye before. He's James' boss so to speak. He is crazy but he knows what he's talking about. Anyway, so if you got here a week ago and you say you've been looking for a decent flat where have you been staying this whole time?"

Sophie's green eyes looked down at the table slightly ashamed. "At a muggle hotel. It's been home since I flooed in. The Leaky Cauldron didn't look too appealing at the time."

"Let's be honest it NEVER looks appealing. You should have let me know though. You could have stayed with me and James. In fact you are going to stay with me and James. Come know lets go get your things." Lily stood grabbing her bag along the way.

Sophie just stared at her. "Are you crazy?! I refuse to impose on you and you husband."

"Sophia Alexis Green I can not believe that you would think that you would be imposing on me. If you don't get up and follow me know I will never speak to you again."

"As if I'm going to fall for that Lily Marie Potter. Besides you have a baby. I'm sure you want to spend time with him and..."

"Oh shut up already. You coming over and that's final. Come on lets go. I'll introduce you to James He should still be home now."

"But Lily..."

"No buts don't argue with me. Lets go."

Sophie pouted before getting up and following Lily to the floo station near the ice cream shop.

"I feel bad for your kid."

Lily turned to see her friend stomping behind her with her arms crossed over her chest defiantly. "Oh would you stop that. You're not going to win."

"Whatever. Just for the record I don't want to do this and I intend to began looking for a apartment as soon as humanly possible."

"Sounds like a plan. And I'll help you find a suitable flat as soon as humanly possible but for now... Potter residence." Lily shouted into the green flames of the fire place.

Sophie watched her friend spin out of sight before grabbing a hand full of floo powder. "What in the world am I getting my self into." She stared at the flames a moment longer and then threw her hand full in with a reluctant sigh. "Potter residence."

Tonight I'll dream in my bed
While silly thoughts run through my headOf the bugs and alphabet
And when I wake tomorrow I'll betThat you and I will walk together again
Because I can tell that we are going to be friends
I can tell that we are going to be friends
