Chapter 2

Lily sighed. Everything was packed, she was only waiting to leave. Her parents had gone out for a little while, and she wanted to say goodbye before she left for the rest of the summer.

As she sat on her bed waiting, her stomach grumbled menacingly. "Alright! I'll feed you!" She walked pensively down the stairs and into the kitchen. She grabbed a plate and made herself a sandwich. Mmmmm…. tomato and cheese, her favorite. Lily gave her wand a flick, and the kitchen was spotless once again. "I love magic!" she said to herself for the billionth time.

"Lily, We're home!" Lily heard her parents call. At those words, she levitated her trunk, grabbed Dilis (her owl) and clambered back down the stairs once again with her trunk in tow. A quick goodbye to her parents, then a handful of floo powder and she was off.

With a horrible jolt, Lily Evans arrived at the Leaky Cauldron. She got a room from the young landlord, Tom. Then Lily hurried out back into the alley. There she tapped the brick that triggered the entryway into Diagon Alley. As the bricks all shifted, she couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of the place. The bustle and color of the shops, and the feeling of friendliness that flew through the air. Lily started walking down the street peeking in all the shop windows. Several times she was tempted to enter some of them, but she figured that Caroline would murder her alive if she was late. Indeed, there, sitting outside Florean Fortesque's Ice Cream Parlor were Sarah Lannam and Caroline Worthing. She ran up to them and gave both a warm hug. "Oh, I thought I'd never get here. Dad was being a royal pain earlier. This was SUCH a good idea you two."

"We know," responded Sarah and Caroline.

"That's why we did it. Do you realley think that we're that thick as to do something that isn't a good idea? Well, at least a good idea in our books," said Sarah.

"Yeah, we realley aren't as unruly as we appear to be. It's just that we play by a different set of rules," Caroline said with an evil grin.

"Oh, I know that," Lily responded. "But still, Carrie, don't get hurt, okay? I still remember last year, and I don't want that to happen again. It's just not worth it, it realley isn't. I don't want to see you like that even again, got it?"

"Lily please don't bring that up ever again. Ever, you hear me. I don't wish to relive that. I will never relive that, and do you know why?" At this Lily shook her head. "Because," continued Caroline, "I know what to do now. I will never EVER chase after boys who are utterly in love with my best friend."

"Caroline Amandlia Worthing! How DARE you imply that. James hates me, and I hate him. End of story. And James is most certainly NOT in love with me!" Lily ran her hands through her hair in an exasperated way. He CAN'T love me. He just can't. He's James Potter, the most sought after boy that Hogwarts has ever seen. He can absolutely NOT be in love with me, Lily Evans. He just CAN'T. Thought Lily as though trying to convince herself of the fact.

"Lily, are you even listening to a word I'm saying?" asked Sarah.

"Mwa?" said Lily, stirring from her reverie. "Oh, no, sorry deary, I wasn't listening. I was…..wandering."

"Yeah, 'wandering,' more like daydreaming about a certain raven haired boy," Caroline muttered loudly.

"HEY!" came Lily's predictable retort. "What on EARTH do you think you're saying I-"

But she was cut off by Sarah who said suddenly, "Alright girls, stop your arguing, we'll discuss it later. For now let's enjoy the day and go wandering aimlessly about Diagon Alley. Okay?"

"Sure," said Caroline.

"Oh no you don't Sarah Annette Lannam," said Lily, "don't you DARE go changing the subject on me. I will finish what I have to say and convince you BOTH that I do not, and never have fancied James Potter."

"Yes, alright Lils, but not in the middle of Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor, in the middle of Diagon Alley in the middle of the day! You can tell us later. Seeing as this battle has been going on for five year, I think you can wait all of nine hours to finish it. Please Lily?" pleaded Sarah.

"Oh fine, alright, I will bend to your wishes for now. But you won't be able to slip out of it later, you scheming little enchantress. This so called 'battle' will end TONIGHT, or my name isn't Lily Alrenia Evans, which it is."

A/N Okay, this chapter is REALLEY short, and I apologize, but I'm extremely tired and don't feel like going all the way through the rest of the day to come, and having Lily finish her 'battle' once and for all. So, anyways, just don't forget to press the little button that says "go" on it and submit a review. I only got two last time, and one was from Alyssa. Come on peoples, I know I'm getting the hits, just the reviews aren't there. Constructive criticism is, as always, very welcome. Even flames would be welcome at this point. Come on, find it in your hearts to give me thirty seconds (or less if you type fast) of your life. PLEASE?
