A/N: Sorry, Petunia & Lily's argument was quite terribly written on my part D: Sorry.

Lily had just apparated into the Leaky Cauldron when she heard voices squabbling, that sounded much like her friends.

"Hey guys,"

"LILY!" they all squealed as the four friends all ran up to each other, knocking their heads, and falling over in the process.

They got tangled in the mass of flailing limbs while trying to properly sit up, only to be met with much aggravated and annoyed complaints from each other.

"Ouch Lauren that was my hair!"

"Oops sorry, well maybe if you hadn't poked me in the eye,"

"Oh yeah sorry about that Lauren. I thought I felt something squishy hit my finger," grinned Alice sheepishly.

"Alice!" Lauren let out a mock gasp, "I never would have thought it of you."

"Drama Queen," Lily muttered under her breath just loud enough for the rest to hear, causing them to crack up.

After they all got untangled, and stepped into Diagon Alley. Lily had started to set up an itinerary, being the perfectionist that she is.

"Ok first I think we should all go to Madam Malkins, it's closest. Also for some odd reason dress robes were on the suppy list, and she has a better selection that those shops in Hogsmeade do. All of the good ones will be gone by the time, Morgan, the slow poke, here gets up." Lily said in a bossy kind of way.

"Hey! I am not that slow! Today I woke up at 10:30 this morning, thank you very much." a dignified Morgan said, triumphant smirk gracing her pretty face.

"Wow that's an improvement," muttered Alice sarcastically

"Morgan we were almost ready to leave at 10:30, sweetie."

"Well... Well… Well…," spluttered Morgan, "I got nothing. BUT that doesn't mean-"

"Give it up, we all know that your lazy bum is the first to go to bed, last to get up to go to breakfast. I mean we have been living with you for six years." cut in Lily.

"Well then," she huffed.

"Then we need to go to Flourish and Blotts to get our spell books. We need a whole slew of them this year. Third Artemis needs some more owl treats, so we can go to Eeylops Owl Emporium for those. Last we need to pop into Apothecary. I think all of our potions kits are running low." said Lily, absentmindedly checking off the different shops on her fingers.

"I think that's it," Alice said.

Once they reached Madam Malkin's, the short elderly little woman with wispy dark brown hair, bustled out behind a rack of robes to greet them.

"Hello what can I get you fine ladies today?"

"We would like to look at some dress rooms madam." Alice said in her smooth sweet voice.

"Oh, and I need some new school robes, my little brother Liam got a hold of my wand, and somehow set them on fire. By the time I got there they were shriveled, orange, and smoking." Morgan said with a smile tugging at her lips.

"Right this way," Madam Malkin said. While commenting on the colors that would best suit them.

"For you Lily I would suggest an emerald green, to bring out your eyes. I'm sure that the color is a bit overused on you, though isn't it?"

Lily nodded her head briskly, motioning that her assumptions were indeed correct.

"So may I suggest a light black. It would make your hair and eyes really stand out. You can use a tanning charm on your skin, so that the black looks more suiting, for your complexion. Now Lauren…. I think you would look just stunning in a deep red, almost a maroon. It would look great with you eye, and hair color. Make you pop, if you know what I mean. Morgan… Tricky, tricky. I think you would also look good in a dark color. Indigo perhaps. Yes, yes I think that will do. Again a bright violent must be a bit overused on you, as for as dresses are concerned. Now last but not least, Alice. You would look good in stunning robes of midnight blue. They will bring out your eyes, and your hair will stand out from the dark color. OK here is a rack full of robes of your suggested color. One per girl." The woman said all surprisingly quick. With a wave of her wand, and a muttering of a spell, four racks of robes appeared. The girls looked delighted at this. Shoppers at heart these girls were.

"How did she know our names?" asked Morgan nervously.

"I guess it's just natural. Kind of like Ollivander if you know what I mean. He said he remembered when my mum and dad bought their wands. I told him I didn't believe him. He got them both right down to the quarter inch. It's kind of creepy now that I think about it." Lauren shuddered.

"Morgan that dress looks absolutely gorgeous. You should go try it on. Here take this one too while your at it." Alice said in a happy, encouraging manner.

"Ok I'll be right back. See you girls in a minute."

"Now Alice, I think you would look good in something silky. Something that hugs your figure then flows out." said Lily who was the attire expert in their group. While Alice did accessories, Lauren hair, and Morgan make-up, then their other roommate, Kylie, was good at everything.

"Here try these." she said while shoving three or four dark blue dresses into her hands, causing her to stumble with the extra weight.

"Now Lauren. Lauren. Lauren. Lauren. What shall we do for you? How about something with a more casual material that appears dressy. Strappy, knee length, and maybe a lighter shade of red, than darker. Hmmmm. . ." she mumbled while searching the racks.

"AH HA! I found it. Here it will magically modify to your body type. It is perfect, you'll love it. Here." Lily ordered whilst pushing her best friend towards the dressing rooms.

"Lily?" Morgan asked tentatively.

"Yeah," she replied, while looking for a dress of her own.

"How does this look?"

A small gasp could be heard escape Lily's mouth.

"That's it your buying it. Quick before the others see. I forbid you to see each others dresses, until the night of the ball." she added in a very motherly tone in her voice.

"Come on move it missy!" she ordered.

"Jeez Lily no need to be snappy," Morgan mumbled under her breath

"I heard that!" Lily snapped yet again.

Shuffling through her own rack, she was interrupted yet again, but by Lauren this time.

"Hey Lily. What do ya' think?"

"I think that I was right. Again."

"Somebody's modest I see." she joked.

"Oh shut up, you. Ok, no looking at anybody else's it's a surprise. Now go pay for yours. Morgan is up there now."

She was looking through her rack when she saw the perfect dress for herself. It was a dark black, floor length with sparkles all over it. It was strapless, and a little revealing. She loved it to say the least, so she headed over to the changing rooms.

"Alice?"

"Lily is that you?"

"Yeah,"

"I'm done, you can't see my dress though. It's a surprise. Let me get changed and on three step out so I can see. Ok?"

"Kay, Lils."

"Alright one-two-THREE! Alice all I have to say is when Frank sees you in this, his jaw is going to drop all the way to the floor, and he won't be able to string a coherent sentence together." Lily said warmly.

"Thanks Lily." Alice said with a sense of gratefulness laced throughout her kind, comforting voice. "I'm going to change back into my robes. Meet you at the checkout counter?"

"Sure," Lily responded, mind still on the dress of her own. "OK you lot! Lets go get the rest of our stuff."

"Yes Ma'am General Lily." Morgan smirked.

After a long day of shopping, and many, many, many, many bags later, they were ready to leave. Of course three of the four Marauders had to ruin their perfectly nice day of girls only shopping.

"Lily!" Sirius gasped.

"Lily we need your help. Prongs is hurt. We were racing to the Quality Quidditch Supplies Shop, and somebody used a trip jinx on him. Well, that's what Remus said anyways," he rambled, "He fell and now he's all scraped up, and bleeding all over. I don't think it was just a tripping spell anymore. You should have seen it. He like flew forwards and like almost dived down into the pavement. Kind of like those muggle penguin throwing games, muggles play on the comluper. You have to help heal him. Remus isn't very good at healing spells and was afraid to do it himself. He noticed Morgan, figured you would be with her, and sent me to come get you." he said all in one breath.

"Ok keep your knickers on Sirius." Lauren kidded.

"Hey baby," said Sirius lightly, meanwhile forgetting his best friend bleeding all over the sidewalk.

"Hey," she responded kissing him lightly on the lips then on the cheek, leaving a slightly glossy, lip shaped, kiss mark on his cheek.

"Ok lovebirds, back to the crisis at hand. Sirius. Calm down, and turn away from your girlfriend. Where is James?" she said calmly. This may be her sworn enemy, but she couldn't stand not helping people.

"You called him James..." Sirius said disbelief etched on his face.

"No I didn't." Lily replied to quickly. Why did she call James, James. I mean Potter James? It's Potter not James. Potter. She though to herself panicking. "I called him Potter. Where's Potter, Sirius? If you don't want him to die of blood loss tell me where he is. NOW!" she said icily, suprising herself with the coldness, that came our of her usually bubbly voice.

"He is in front of Ollivander's. Come on." he urged.

"I'm coming. Lead the way."

Once they all had caught up with Sirius, he led them to James. Once the girls saw the state he was in the all let out small gasps, of shock.

"Guys we have to take him back to my house. I have some emergency wizarding medical supplies there. You guys can apparate there. Remus you can side along with Morgan, Sirius you got Lauren. I'll take James I guess. Alice, can you help me with him?"

"Sure, Lily." Alice said and rushed over to grab a part of James.

With that they all turned on their heel, and were met with the sensation of bring sucked into an air tight tube. Once they thought they couldn't take it anymore, they landed in the Evans' living room.

A/N: The characters are still extremely undeveloped at this point... If they seem immature, they probably are since they haven't REALLY seen that much of the world yet outside of the Daily Prophet and the walls of Hogwarts which is a safe haven practically with Dumbledore there. Besides Remus & Lily, they hardly know that much about responsibility as a whole.
