A/N: Sorry it took so long for this second chapter. I've been really busy lately and haven't had a chance to update.
The next weekend Lily woke up extra early. Today was the day she had been waiting for. Today was the day she would finally get the chance to go to Diagon Alley to get her school supplies. She walked over to her desk where she kept the list of supplies from Hogwarts. Lily had been doing this every morning since the day the letter had arrived. When she looked down at the corner of the desk where she usually kept it she noticed that it was gone.
Lily searched her room for her letter frantically, which was hard because she was trying to be quiet. She pulled open all the drawers and flung their contents all over the floor not caring what it was when it wasn't her letter. Soon her room was a disaster zone.
Feeling defeated she walked into the kitchen. Her father was sitting at the table reading his newspaper while her mother made breakfast. "Dad, have you seen my letter? It was sitting on my desk last night and when I woke up it was gone. I don't know what to do. I've searched my room and couldn't find it. Maybe it's down..."
"Now Lily," her father interrupted, " I'm sure your letter is around here somewhere. After breakfast I will help you look for it. You probably just misplaced it because you were so excited. Stop worrying it'll come up." Just then Petunia walked into the kitchen.
"What is going on here? Haven't you ever heard of sleeping in on a Saturday morning."
" Well, Lily has lost her school letter. She was frantic and most likely didn't realize how much noise she was making. You wouldn't happen to know where it is, would you Petunia?"
"What would I want with her stupid letter? Anyway, even if I would have taken it what would I do with it." Petunia answered. Lily saw Petunia smirking while she said this. "Maybe Petunia did take it. I did find that letter to Dumbledore in her room asking if she could go to Hogwarts to." Lily thought to herself as she sat down to eat.
Lily finished before anyone else and rushed upstairs, telling everyone that she was going to look in her room one more time. Instead of entering her bedroom she continued down the hall a little farther and quietly slipped into Petunia's room. She quickly scanned the room trying to decide where she begin when she saw a piece of parchment laying on top of the vanity. She quickly walked over and saw that it was her letter. She ran back downstairs, waving the letter in her hand. She hurriedly told everyone that she had in fact misplaced it and had found it laying under her bed. Lily couldn't help but notice that Petunia looked a little disappointed.
Soon everyone was finished eating. Lily and her father got into the car. Petunia had said that she didn't feel like going so Mrs. Evans had stayed home with her. Lily clutched the letter in her hand so that there was no chance that it would blow away. They soon arrived at the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron. Lily entered the shabby pub first followed by her father. He walked up to the bar told the bar tender, a toothless old wizard by the name of Tom, that he was a muggle and this was his daughters first year at Hogwarts.
"I'll take you out and show you how to get into Diagon Alley," he said as he motioned for them to follow him out a door into a small courtyard with nothing but a few trash cans in it. He tapped a brick on the wall and immediately the bricks began to move forming an archway into the crowded, noisy alley. Lily looked around her staring at everything. She had never seen anything like this before. There were shops selling cauldrons, quills and ink, spell books, potion ingredients, brass scales and telescopes, robes, owls, broomsticks and a rather shabby looking shop that sold wands. Up ahead was a huge snow white building. A sign above it read Gringotts. Tom who was still standing beside them explained everything to her father.
As soon as Tom left her father headed straight towards the huge building. "That's the bank," he said as the walked down the street towards it, "we need to exchange our money first." He sounded a little nervous, and when Lily asked him why he told her that it was run by goblins. Lily who already knew this from Severous told him that there was nothing to worry about.
After they had gotten their money Lily bought her books, robes, scales, telescope, cauldron, and a large brown barn owl she decided to name Archimedes. The last thing she needed was a wand. She turned towards Ollivanders and cautiously walked inside. She looked around at the shelves piled high with thousands of wands and stared in disbelief. Suddenly and old man with strange silver eyes appeared as if out of nowhere.
"Lily Evans I presume," he said
"Yes, that's right but how did you know my name."
"Lily, I know all the new students names. So you need a wand?"
"Yes," she answered nervously. She wasn't so sure she like Mr. Ollivander.
He walked down an aisle, pulled a box off the shelf, and quickly returned with it.
"Here, "he said as he handed her the wand," ten and a quarter inches, swishy, made of willow. A nice wand for charms work. Here give it a wave." Lily took the wand from him and immediately felt a warmth spread through her body starting at her fingers. When she gave it a wave green sparks flew out of the end. "You were an easy customer Miss Evans. That will be seven galleons." Lily paid him seven gold coins for her wand and walked out of the shop.
As Lily and her father walked back to the Leaky Cauldron, she noticed to boys with their noses pressed up against the window of a store called Quality Quidditch Supplies. One of them had extremely messy black hair and glasses. The other had black hair to but his was, well perfect.
When Lily arrived home again she went up to her bedroom and spent the whole night reading her new textbooks. She couldn't wait for term to start on September first.
