A few days later the booklists arrived. Lily and James were finishing off their breakfasts in the kitchen with Arielle when Hedwig began tapping at the window, persistently. James got up to let her in. After Hedwig dropped the letters, James picked them up saying……

"This must be Harry's booklist…….where is he anyway?"

"Oh he's in the shower." Arielle said after swallowing some toast and smiling at her father.

"Ya Ill bet he is." James retorted, smirking at his daughter and drinking some more coffee.

"Well…..Lils can you go today?"

"Well I promised Bella that Id meet her for coffee this morning and later maybe do some shopping to cheer her up."

"Is she still down over the whole Brad thing?" James asked anxiously.

"A little bit ya. I mean I can't blame her James. The guy is a jerk! You and Sirius saw through him straight away. But she wouldn't listen. But the part that infuriates me the most is the way he dumped her…."

"Ya I know. He writes her a letter to that effect. I mean you would think that the last two years meant something to him…."

"Well obviously not!"

"I feel for her I really do Lils. I mean she really wanted to get married……"

"Yes she did……"

"Anyway getting back to Harry's booklist…..I wont be able to go to Diagon Alley this week because of work obligations Lils so why don't you go with the kids?"

"Well we don't have to go this week James. We can go next week sometime. I mean there is no immediate rush since there is still two and half weeks of the holidays still left…."

"Yes but Lils don't you remember when you were his age? The first day that the booklist arrives is THE day to go to Diagon Alley to catch up with all your mates…."

"Ya but I was hoping maybe we could all go as a family you know? All of us and Sirius and Sharinas clan to!"

"Lily…..let him go okay? Remus has the day off and Sirius…..I think has it off too…"

"Alright fine whatever James!" Lily said as she got up and put the plates into the sink. Arielle smiled at her dad before leaving to get dressed. James turned to Lily, placing a hand on her back.

"Lils, Harry is growing up. We have to accept that whether we want to or not sweetheart. He is at the age where he wants to be with his mates okay?"

"I just…..really want us to spend time as a family while he's here James, you know? I mean he sees his friends all year round…..he's my baby boy James…."

"Aww Lils…." James wraps his arm around her neck as she leans her head against his chest.

"He always will be your baby boy darling. But he needs his friends too okay? Look I promise that we will go away somewhere before Harry leaves for Hogwarts. Okay? Just the four of us." She smiled at him as he returned it fondly. "Okay James. Okay." She replied meekly. He smiled at her again before kissing her on the head.

"Hey morning guys." Harry greeted amiably as he took a seat at the table.

"Good morning Harry." James and Lily replied, smiling at him.

"What's going on?" Harry asked as he pored some cereal into a bowl.

"Well your booklist arrived a while ago mate."

"Oh really? Cool! So when are we heading in?"

"Well Molly and Arthur are going in a while so if you wanted to head in with Remus and Sirius…..but first we have to find out if they are officially on a day off." Lily said.

"Cool. Well Hermione mentioned that she would be heading around 12:00 or so…..so Ill be able to catch up with her then."

"Aww are you excited about meeting with your girlfriend?" Arielle asked re-appearing in the kitchen and walking up behind him ruffling his hair.

"Leave off Airs. We are only friends." Harry replied re-styling his hair.

"Uh- huh. Sure you are." She said smirking at him as she leant on the back of the chair beside him.

"Arielle that is enough!" James barked. She looked at him sheepishly, took a seat and discreetly said…. "Sorry dad."

"Good morning Potters!" Sirius bellowed as he strolled into the kitchen.

"Hey Sirius." Lily and James greeted. He smiled back at them.

"Alright Sirius?" Harry asked.

"Ya I'm pretty good thanks Harry mate. What about yourself?"

"Good thanks. You working today?"

"Oh I sure as hell am Prongslet but not till two thankfully! And how are you this morning Princess?"

"I am good thanks Sirius. Can I ask you something?" Arielle asked as he got up and walked over to him.

"You can ask me absolutely ANYTHING angel….except where all the buried treasure is!"

She winked at her as she smiled gleefully and Harry rolled his eyes.

"Can I please go with you and Uncle Remus into Diagon Alley?" Sirius smiled down at her before he picked her up.

"Well since you asked so nicely sweetness…..I do believe I have no reason to refuse you." She giggled.

"Oh Sirius are you going into Diagon Alley today?" Lily asked.

"Yes I most certainly am Lily flower. Myself and Mooners are strolling in with the troops. Shari has to work."

"Well that is fantastic coz James is working and I have to meet Bella later so I won't be able to take Harry so would you mind?"

"Oh now what the hell do you think Lils? Of course not!"

"Thank you so much. Now that is sorted, I have to get ready to meet Bella…."

"Oh how is she doing anyway?"

"She's getting there….."

I'm glad to hear that. Pass on my regards will you?"

"Ya sure no problem Sirius." She smiled at him.

"Right well I had best be off to work so…..I shall see you guys later on." James said before kissing Lily lightly on the lips.

"Okay see you tonight James." Lily called out before leaving the room.

"Ya you will darling. Harry, Arielle behave yourselves. Sirius….talk to ya later buddy."

"Alright mate. Okay well I better go and get the terrible two ready. Harry take your time there mate coz we won't be leaving for another half hour or so."

"Okay Sirius."

"Sirius can I please go with you now? I'm finished my breakfast."

"Oh ya sure no problem darling. Come on then let's go. I am sure that Sami and Kyrah will be happy to see ya." He opened the door and Arielle ran out.

"Hey are you sure that you don't want some coffee?"

"No Harry you are alright thanks."

"Its freshly brewed…."

"Honestly I am fine thanks Prongslet. I have to get back coz Remus is all alone with my lot and god knows what they are up to!"

"Oh I am sure that Rob and Ryan can take control if needs be. Or well….Rob anyway…"

"Correct me if I am wrong Harry but I get the distinct impression that you don't want me to go."

"What? No its not that….."

"Hmmm………Come on now Harry. You know that I am always here for you. Come over when you're done."

"Yep sure Sirius." Harry said smiling at him weakly. Sirius returned it and left.

"Okay Harry I am off now. Where is your sister?"

"Oh she's next door."

"Okay well don't forget to go to Gringotts. Do you know the combination?"

"Of course I do mom." Harry said getting up to wash out his bowl.

"Okay." She caressed his cheek before kissing him on the forehead. "See you later sweetheart."

After he cleaned up the kitchen and got his shoes on, Harry went next door.

"Hey Harry." Remus greeted amiably. He was sitting at the table reading the paper. Harry sat opposite him. "Hi Remus. How are you?"

"I'm good thanks Harry. Yourself?"

"Grand….thanks. Where is…..

"Sirius?" They half laughed…."He is upstairs with the twins. They claim to have "lost" their shoes…again."

"Oh ya? Who hid them this time?"

"Your guess is as good as mine. However since it was Samia who announced this little depravation….I have my suspicions." They smiled a little.

"Sirius should be proud then. Having pranksters for daughters…."

Remus laughed before saying……"He has only got himself to blame."

"Alright Harry mate?" Sirius asked entering the kitchen with the girls ahead of him.

"Hey ya Sirius. Hi Sami, Kyrah. How are ye today?"

"Fine thanks Harry." Samia said.

"Daddy found our shoes again. I think next time we have to find a better hiding place." Kyrah said.

"Alright come on you two ruffians….into the sitting room to your brothers." Sirius said arching his hands on their heads.

"So what is the plan?" Remus asked putting the paper on the table.

"Well Molly is meeting us outside Flourish and Blotts at 11:00 so we best get a move on."

They followed Sirius into the sitting room where Ryan and Rob were waiting with the twins by the fire.

"Hey Rob, Ryan." Harry greeted pleasantly.

"Alright Harry?" They replied in unison.

"Okay Remus you better go first since I have to take these two."

"Okay Sirius." Remus stepped into the fire and shouted "Diagon Alley!" He was gone within seconds.

"Rob off ya go mate." Sirius instructed.

"Alright dad." He followed the same procedure.

"Harry your next mate."

"But what about Ryan?"

"Ryan hasn't travelled before so I want him to see how its done and make sure that he knows what to do so off you go."

"Okay. Diagon Alley!" Harry was gone too.

"You okay to go now Ryan mate?"

"Sure dad. But where do we end up?"

"In the leaky cauldron now…..off with ya."

After Ryan left, Sirius stepped into the fire with his daughters in his arms.

"So….are you ready to see Diagon Alley?"

"YA DAD!" They shouted happily. He smiled down at them and shouted "Diagon Alley!"
