*Lily's POV

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I roll over and stare my alarm. 7am already?

Beep. Beep. Beep.

"Shut up you stupid thing." I grab it and fumble for the off button. Ahhhhhh, finally, peace again. I have just closed my eyes for five seconds when…

"Lily! Mum says you need to get up. Or whatever, it's not like I care." Petunia's squeaky voice echoes off all the walls giving me a headache. I rub my temples before yelling back.

"Just coming."

10 minutes later I am showered, dressed and downstairs eating breakfast. I can't wait for today, Remus and his family are taking me to Diagon Alley because, well, my family are muggles and would probably embarrass me besides Petunia doesn't want to come anyway. Remus's parents offered and I accepted right away, my parents are fine with it because they are friends with the Lupin's as we live next door to them.

Ding Dong

That'd be the doorbell. I shoved my plate into the sink and skipped down the hall. Opening the door to the lovely, smiling Remus Lupin.

"Hi just give me a sec to get my coat and shoes on."

Running upstairs I grab a denim jacket and my favourite converse trainers and head downstairs. I made it to the last step and then tripped landing flat on my face. Ugh. I look up and realise Remus is laughing.

"Hey! It's not funny. That hurt. Stupid step." I say standing up and brushing myself off.

"Yeah. Because it was the steps fault!" He mocks. I stick my tongue out at him because I'm mature like that.

"You know keep up that attitude and you'll turn into Potter or worse Black!"

Remus scoffs. " As if. And speaking of James and Sirius I kind of said I'd meet up with them."

"That's ok. I said I'd meet up with Alice, Myer and Jen."

I had been friends with them since first year. Alice is a small shy girl with long wavy brown hair and blue eyes. She is in love with Frank Longbottom and he is in love with her but neither of them have enough courage to ask each other out. Myer too had long brown hair but hers is straight and she usually wears it up in a ponytail. She is an average student she isn't too shy nor too out-going she is just regular. Jen on the other hand is the complete opposite of both of them, she has long blonde hair and blue eyes. Some might mistake her for a dumb blonde but you'd be wrong. She has an evil tongue and doesn't know how to control it with sarcasm and wicked remarks constantly rolling off it and is constantly coming up with disgusting sexual innuendos that I try to ignore. Despite that I love them all to bits and would be lost without them.

"Oh ok." Remus says clearly disappointed

"What's wrong?"

"Well I was just hoping that maybe if you hung out with James some more you'd eventually grow to like him."

"Remus I know he's your friend but I will never like him, he's too arrogant and vain."

"I know but I just hoped that-"

Honk Honk

"Sounds like your parents are waiting."

"Ok but this conversation isn't over."

We head down the front steps of my house and I trip on the last one. Muttering profanity under my breath I brush myself off again, while Remus is trying not to laugh. I glare at him and he stops immediately.

"Oh I wasn't laughing at you. It was the steps fault! Bad step."

"Ha ha your hilarious." I say with sarcasm filling my words

"That I am." He says and I playfully punch him in the arm as we climb into the Lupin's vehicle.

The drive there is slow and boring as we live out of the city but eventually we make it and I step out onto Diagon Alley…
