And I know its big cause its like seven pages or something and I never usually go past 4 pages so huge moment for me. I AM SO HAPPY.

I get a chapter up and one of my fav stories has an update.

That and I got a new mobile. !

That's Harry

Lily wanted to spend all her money everywhere she went. She saw racing brooms, wizarding knick knacks and so much more. But Remus advised her against it mentioning that she needed the money for several years of school and beyond, so she caved and waved goodbye to that Nimbus 2000 broom in the window.
SO now they were on their way back to Madam Malkin's hoping to find it quite empty or not so busy. Arriving at the shop after pushing their way through the crowd; it seemed that everyone wanted to shop today.

They reached the store quite easily than a while ago. It seemed that many were on their way home from shopping. If fact the sun did look lower in the sky than it did a little while ago.
Remus was now looking up at the sign above Madam Malkin's shop.
He remembered it so well.

"Go on son just go inside and ask for some help"
"Dad can't you come too?" 11 year old Remus asked
His father shook his head.
"You can't be shy forever son" he said "besides it looks packed enough in there as it is"

Remus nodded sadly as he turned towards the shop. He swallowed hard as he looked up at the sign.
The painted words seemed to be covered in new paint. It was sparkling gold as he read the words 'Madam Malkin's Robes for all Occasions'
As he walked in a small bell jingled throughout the entire shop. As if there was a microphone nearby. He took in his surroundings taking note that there were way too many styles of robes. One would be enough for him.

"Ah another customer" Remus snapped around to see a kind looking lady smile down at him
"Just pop up on that stand my dear and I will be with you in a moment"

Remus nodded as she went back to the other customer in the room.
"Are you going to Hogwarts too?" asked a voice
Looking sideways Remus was greeted with the sight of a girl just slightly smaller than him, trying to get a good look at his appearance, well as much as she could without turning her head.
"Yea" he answered "my name is Remus"
"oh like the guy from Greek mythology?" the girl asked her brown curls falling down her back.
And she did a big mistake. She turned her head fully to face Remus her aquamarine eyes met his grey eyes and Remus blushed bright red.

"Delilah!" the lady to left scolded, making Delilah turn her head back towards the wall.
"Names Delilah, Delilah Samuels" the girl introduced herself "that's my mum over there" with an indication from her head Remus took in more detail the lady to his left.
Too his surprise her mother was blonde instead of the brown Delilah was.

"Oh she is blonde like my sister Samantha, I am brown like my dad"
Remus didn't get a single word in.
"So what house you want to be in?"
"Huh?" Remus said towards her with a dumbstruck face.
Delilah giggled slightly making Remus blush more.
"What house do you want to be at Hogwarts?"
"Oh.... ummm.... Gryffindor" he said fumbling with his words "You?"
"Well my whole family comes from Raven claw" she seemed to quote in a bored tone

Leaning towards slightly she whispered so only Remus could hear "But I want to be in Gryffindor"
"DELILAH!" her mother screeched "if you don't stand still you won't be getting that owl that you wanted"
Delilah groaned and focused on the wall again.
A few minutes of silence passed before Madam Malkin pronounced that she had finished putting the final hemming on the robe. And said she would be with Remus in a minute before bustling into the back room.

"Delilah Come!" the lady said as if ordering her daughter like a dog.
"Well cya round" Remus far welled.
She nodded while her mother walked out of the room.
"Yea bye !" she said waving
Remus waved back too and continued to do so for a while after the girl had left.

It wasn't until Madam Malkin came out again did he turned around a blush slightly in embarrassment.

Yes that day he met Delilah and that day he began to like her.
"Mr. Lupin?"
Remus was in a huge daze as the memory passed across his eyes. He slightly registered to the voice, he even looked straight at Lily but he never registered. The face of Delilah seemed to be taunting him. She smiled and laughed as if just inches away from him.
"MOONEY!"
This caught his attention. He turned and looked at Lily with full assertiveness. His eyebrows contorted in confusion. What had he done?
"What?" He asked tilting his head.
This was getting kind of awkward for Lily.
"Umm are we going to go in?"
"Huh Go whe….." Remus looked up at the sign and re-read it.
His mouth formed a perfect 'o'.
He rubbed the back of his neck with his hand a clear sign of awkward embarrassment.
"Um Yea yea sure, Lets go in"
He motioned for Lily to go in and begin getting her robes and mentioned that he would be in shortly
After she had walked into the store, Remus turned his back to the window and let out a long sigh as he ran his fingers across his face.
He hadn't thought of Delilah this much since the day she walked out on everything. I'm going nuts Remus spoke to himself. He was sure that was the truth.

When Remus walked into the shop he looked up to see a head of brown curls. He could have sworn he was 11 all over again and had just walked into the store where he was to meet Delilah, but looking once again he saw the reflection of Lily smiling at the mirror. He truly was going nuts.
"Ahh Mr. Lupin" smiled Madam Malkin "I remember your first time you came into my store, do you?"
Remus cleared his throat nervously and did something shocking. He giggled.
Lily snorted before breaking out in a fit of laughter. She just kept on laughing and laughing, she just couldn't stop.
Finally she let out a quite laugh and the room returned to silence.
No other word was said all the way through Lily's fitting. She received all the robes she needed and a simple black pointed hat she needed for particular feasts.
She paid for her goods and stepped out of the store to see the sun close to kissing the horizon.
"Its getting late" Remus spoke "We need to leave soon"
Lily just nodded and read over her school supply list that Remus had handed her the moment she stepped out of her house.
"Well I just need a cauldron and can I get a pet?" she asked shyly.
Remus shrugged his shoulders in what he thought was a non Remus thing to do. "I don't see why not"
Lily smiled and performed a small jump before grabbing Remus wrist and dragging him towards the pet store she passed a few hours ago.
Why must you torture me like this Delilah Remus yelled within his mind. He could swear this was Karma for something he did years ago.
Magical Menagerie came into view which confused Remus. "I thought you wanted an owl?"
"I did but that owl I saw a little while ago was sold to that really big man that's been going around. I only wanted her and since she is not there anymore, well I don't know I will have a look at what they got"
Remus just let out a loud breath and just followed her in. He hoped she wouldn't be too long. He needed to get her home and get him well away from humans before the night sky came. It was a dangerous night tonight after all.
The crows of exotic birds and squeaks of rats and mice reached his ears.
The mews of cats where coming from a back room and the occasional bark sounded out. This shop was always a crazy place. There were always more animals than there was room and trying to put shoppers in the room also was a spell for disaster. Yet they always seemed to have people everywhere in the shop.
Lily was in complete awe. The birds that lined the walls she had never seen. The rats were skipping for Christ sake and the cats were in weird patterns. Yet she didn't want a cat. Those birds all seemed like birds of prey and the rats well; she would be murdered by Catherine if she came home with one of them.
A loud 'yap' caught her attention. She turned towards the sound and looked down into the small cardboard. There all alone chasing its tail was a blur of black and white. It wasn't until Lily lowered to the floor and peered into the box did the little puppy stop its game and turn towards the human looking down at him.

He was the cutest thing she had ever seen. His face was the cutest and his bright yellow eyes glowed as he looked up at Lily. Upon his face sat a single black patch the surrounded his left eyes. Upon his white tipped left ear sat another patch of soft black fur, yet on his right ear it was speckled with black as if he had paint splattered on him. Along his body a single, but very large black patch rested on the right side of his torso which broke into speckles until it reached its tail where a black tip wagged side to side. What made him even cuter was the small black like socks upon his feet. Almost as if he ran through a puddle even more speckled ran up his legs. He was the cutest thing he had ever seen.

Upon noticing the person above him wasn't going to play, the puppy resumed his chase of his tail. Never getting closer to his target. Lily let out a soft giggled as she watched the puppy trip over his over large paws and tumble to the ground. She couldn't resist him; she HAD to take him home.

"Ahh I would be careful with that one" spoke a female voice
Lily turned around to find the lady from behind the counter right in front of her. The lady's heavy black spectacles magnified her eyes slightly making Lily have to suppress a laugh.
Lily cleared her throat swallowing her laugh. "How come?"
"It's a crop you see. A dog only loyal to magical folk, you wouldn't want it around muggles"
Lily noted she would have to ask Remus what a Muggle was later.
Speak of the devil and the devil shall appear.
"Ah there you are Lily" Remus smiled "Thought I had lost you"
He looked down into the box and saw the dog bark right at him as if they had been friends for ever. The puppy could sense what he was.
"Oh I see you found a crup" was all he replied.
Lily nodded. But the lady interrupted.
"I was just informing her she might want to reconsider this animal. You see it was dumped on our doorstep a little while ago and well no one wants it. It doesn't seem to be good around people"
"What are you talking about" Lily said and with that she bent down to the ground once more and held out her hand towards the puppy.
Remus reached out to grab Lily and pull her away "Lily don't"
But it was too late. The puppy had already approached the hand in front of him and was sniffing it out. Without hesitation he let out a bark and began licking the fingers of Lily's hand.
Lily giggled. It tickled. "See?" she laughed out "He is so gentle"

The two adults exchanged glances before turning back towards the girl and the puppy. Which had already given up on the hand and insisted on climbing into Lily's lap in hopes to reach her face. "Can I have him?" she asked innocently
Remus' race saddened slightly as he began to explain. "I'm sorry Lily, but crups aren't allowed as a school pet. It only Owl, cats, rat or a toad."
"Oh" was al Lily said as she looked down at the puppy who was trying to chew of Lily's small string bracelet. She wanted him. She already felt attached to it. Like they were connected.

"I guess its on the safe side anyway" piped up the store worker "We have reason to suspect one of the puppy's parents might be a wolf or part wolf"
"But he is so gentle" Lily argued
Remus sighed once more "Lily I am sorry but you can't take him to school, its against rules"
Lily looked down at the puppy again a let out a sniffle.
"And those who will look after it when your at school wont be able to handle him" he continued
Lily nodded and placed the crup into the box and stood up. Already the puppy had begun to whine which came louder as Lily was lead away and out of the shop.

Once they were out of the shop Lily took little notice of Remus notifying them she had little time left before night fall and needed to get her cauldron still. Her mind was still on the puppy she left back in the shop. That was until an idea hit her.
"Ah Remus I think I left my wallet in the store" she cried out
"Are you sure its not in your bag"
Lily looked in the flaps of the school bag she had purchased which was slung over her shoulder and shook her head.
"Be quick" was all Remus said as Lily ran back into the shop. But she didn't head towards the counter to see if someone had found it, instead she walked straight towards the puppy which greeted her with a bark.
"Come on you" she cooed as she lifted him up out of the box and into her arms.
When she arrived at the counter she sighed with relief when she noticed it was another person besides the lady with those heavy black spectacles.
"Just this one please" Lily said indicating to the puppy in her hands.
The boy stood up and nodded. "That will be 13 galleons" he slurred out, clearly he didn't want to be here. Lily nodded and fetched the wallet which she was supposed to be looking for right out of the bag. She felt bad for lying to Remus about her wallet, but she couldn't leave this cute thing in this shop.

She handed over the money which the boy took, placed in the till and walked back to his seat in the corner with no farewell to Lily. She didn't mind she just needed to find a place to hide this puppy now.
She smirked slightly as she lowered him into her bag.
"Shh" she whispered to the puppy as she closed the flap. She just hoped he understood and stayed quiet until she got home other wise Remus would make her return him.

When she walked outside and met up with Mooney again. She held up the wallet.
"Found it" She smiled and slipped it in beside the puppy hidden in her bag.
Remus nodded "Good now lets get that Cauldron so I can get you home before dark"

-------------------
Remus and Lily now stood outside the front door of the Aarons' home. Before she opened the door and went inside she turned to Remus.
"Thanks for everything today Moony" she smiled
Remus bowed his head "It was my pleasure I just hope you enjoy your time at Hogwarts"
"Will you be escorting me next year?"
Remus smiled sadly "Probably not I am afraid Lily". You know where everything is now you should be fine next year. Besides you can go with your friends next time"
Lily shoulders shrunk. "Oh yer right" she droned out.
"Well I am needed else where I am afraid" Remus informed "but I hope you enjoyed your day"
Lily nodded eagerly "I did thank you"
Remus bowed once more "Your most welcome. Good Bye"
Remus began to walk away and Lily began to open the door before she stopped.
"Hey Moony?"
Remus stopped and turned around. "Yes Lily?" he spoke in a mocking tone
"Can I write to you?" she asked
Remus was shocked. An eleven year old was asking to write to him. He never got mailed. All his friends were gone.
He fumbled with his words he didn't know what to say.
"If you really want to, but I would say you would be too busy with you friends to write to little old me" he replied
"I'll write" Lily said "I wont forget"
Remus smiled once more. He hadn't smiled in so long but this girl could always make him show his teeth. "I'm sure you won't"
What was a major shock to Remus was what Lily did next. She placed her bag on the ground suspiciously careful and ran towards him. She wrapped her arms around him and held him in a hug. In a way it was quite cute for Lily didn't reach any higher then the top of his chest.
He melted slightly he could swear this girl was making him go soft. He hugged her back awkwardly for no child dared hugged him.
She pulled away and looked up into Remus's eyes. They were like hers in a way. They were grey. "Good Bye" And with that she ran up to her school supplies and walked through the door which she just opened. With the door closed Remus began to walk away to a place where he could apperate without notice. The moon would be up any moment and he need not be anywhere near here.
As he began to walk to the end of the street he walked past number 4 to see to adults greet each other outside. One was large and porky and one was a thin horse like woman. Remus did a double take. That woman was Petunia Evans. His friend James's Sister in law. She was the one who had been looking after James and Lily's son Harry for 10 years.
How he longed to go in there and meet Harry. How he wished to see what he had become. Would he be like James or more like Lily? He wanted to know so bad if he was alright or not.
A howl in the distance made Remus jump and look around. It was late. The moon was already halfway up the sky. He needed to get out of here fast. He wasn't safe anymore, and with a simple turn on the spot, Remus was gone.
