Summary: While standing in Diagon Alley, contemplating where to start her shopping, Lily encounters Regulus when he bumps into her. The two snark a bit before Sirius shows up, much to Lily's dismay. The Black brothers go at each other a bit over Sirius' textbooks that had been rescued from a rubbish bin before a frustrated Regulus gives up and wanders off.
Left alone with Sirius, Lily is unsurprised when the topic of James comes up. Sirius inquires if there's anything going on James should know about, and Lily sarcastically shares that she and Regulus are wedding because Regulus is trying to out-rebel Sirius. Talk shifts more directly to James and his admiration of Lily before Sirius heads out to finish up his shopping, promising to tell James that he hasn't yet mastered the 'madly in love' vibe.
Lily had managed to convince her mum that she and Tuney really didn't need to go shopping with her. There would be loads of witches and wizards that would keep an eye on her, and really, Tuney was just going to whine about it and her mum didn't really need to spend half a day walking around on cobbled streets.
She was practically an adult now; she could handle a little shopping by herself.
After converting her Muggle money into galleons, knuts, and sickles, Lily withdrew her booklist for the year. It was fairly standard, and they'd be easy enough to get. Unleashed for the first time though, Lily was eager to explore some of the other shops. She did have to get a new set of robes; she'd managed to get a stain on one of them when she'd bumped over a potion in class once.
Pausing at a corner, Lily looked around curiously to see where to head first - or who to say hello to first.
