Shopping Again - August 25th, 1976 Who: Lily, James Where: Diagon alley When: 8/25/76 Rating: PG
Status: Closed, completed Summary: Lily returns to Diagon alley to shop for a kitten and is (unfortunately) accosted by her favorite classmate. James makes something of a pest of himself in the kitten-purchasing procedure and manages not to score any points in his attempts with Lily. She does finally manage to get away, but his abrupt, uncharacteristic departure throws her a bit.
To have done her shopping alone once had been amazing. To be allowed on her own for a second go-round was nothing short of miraculous. Of course, there was the unfortunate side-effect this time - people knew she might be back here, and thus might be inclined to ambush her.
It was a hazard she had to deal with, she supposed.
Dressed in open robes over her shorts and tanktop, Lily stepped into Diagon Alley. She smiled to herself as emerald eyes took in the wizarding landscape, the robed patrons, and the signs of the non-Muggle side of London.
Smiling to herself, Lily headed toward the shop that sold owls and other animals, in the hops of finding a kitten - or something kitten-like - that she could take to school with her.
