Summary: Lily and Cas try to catch up with the fashion of the times
Status: Complete

Lily had already informed Severus of her plans, so she forewent the note this time. After popping to Diagon Alley and collecting Cas, she regarded the various clothing stores that lined the Alley contemplatively.

She honestly had no idea where to start. Jamie had pointed out LilyLu's stack of fashion magazines and she'd flipped through a few of those. She thought she'd look decent in any number of the outfits, but she wasn't sure she could imagine wearing them out in public.

But, between herself and Cas, surely they could settle on some sort of attire that was both club-appropriate and didn't offend their out-of-date senses.

"Who ever thought I'd be championing modesty?" Cas mused. "As for being back, it's surreal, even more so because I didn't realize I'd been ... would have been gone. I mean, until I ended up here, if you had asked me where I thought I'd be at sixty-four, I'd have told you old, running the ward, and with someone to spend my life with. Hopefully," Cas added.

Staring at the blouse, Cas had to agree; it was even fairly pretty."It's actually sort of nice," she added. "Want to go in?"

"You'll find someone this time around," Lily assured Cas. "Maybe we'll find some equally modest wizards in the club who'll be interested in a couple of relics like us," Lily teased.

She, really, wasn't interested in casual dating. Not yet, anyway. It was too much, too soon, but that didn't mean Cas shouldn't have that kind of fun.

"We should go in," Lily agreed as she shifted past the window to hold the door open for Cas with a grin. Sweeping her hand, she waggled her brows playfully. "After you."

Cas grinned at her friend. "Do those things even exist? I'm trying to picture any of the boys we knew ... know ... knew ... going for a relic." Cas wrinkled her nose; she hated this verb tense confusion. It made simple conversation a bloody nuisance.

"Why, thank you," she said, stepping in. "Let's see about buying decent clothes to woo decent boys and get decent jobs."

"Well ..." Lily tilted her head to one side, but it wasn't exactly as though she had much of an argument to that. "Remus might have," she decided firmly as she followed Cas into the store.

This was nice ... just having a friend to shop with and gab with and to be around. Someone her own age, more or less, who remembered most of her life. It was refreshing.

Content enough, Lily drifted into the shop. So they'd shop and chat and gossip and joke, and begin their new lives in this new world.

	"Remus, Remus, Remus, who's now what? Sixteen? Seventeen?" Cas asked, fingering the fabric of the blouse that had initially caught her eye. "Hopefully, he isn't one of a kind..." Cas trailed off. Grabbing the same blouse, this one hanging next to the window, she held it up. "What'd you think, Lils?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
