James sighed at Lily saying no, and loosened his grip on Remus' wrist. Who had looked enlightened to have Lily come along with them.
"We can escort you home too, right James?"
"Oh course! After we drop your stuff off at my house," James smiled happily, tried to take a hold of Lily's hands. "We shall escort this fine maiden home!"
"Psst Moony do you think that she'll let him?" Peter whispered into Remus' ear. Though the male had shrugged his shoulders while picked up his luggage again. "Hey should we just buy all our school supplies?" The smallest of the crowd asked.

Lily smiled shyly at the boys.
"Thank you all." she said appreciatively, however did not let her hand be in the grasp of James'. "That's very nice of you guys."
She watched Peter with a small smile. He was the smallest, obviously, and he seemed to yearn for orders from the other three. What would the poor thing do if the other three had deserted him? She didn't know.
Hearing Peter's remark, she shrugged, "I've already bought everything I needed yesterday." she told them, "But I don't mind coming along with you lot if you need to."

"Yeah c'mon with us c'mon with us!" James said happily jumping up and down in the air in front of Lily. A day to buy school supplies with LILY EVANS! First they find Remus, and now this how much better could this day get! It did seem to be a rather lucky day for Prongs didn't it, and now he had been to excited to answer with words.
"We'll I've already bought my supplies as well," Remus commented, and James face drained of color turning to face him. He knew that his friends family had been short in money, and school supplies were expensive, and of course the cost for staying at the Leaky Cauldron.
"Eh, so how much money do you have left Moony?" He asked folding his arms across his chest; glad with Sirius for finding him now.
"Um, well..."
"You don't have anymore money Moony?" Peter asked worryingly biting his bottom lip, and Remus just sighed dropping his head and shaking it no. "While we buy school stuff I'll treat you and Lily to an ice-"
"Ice cream yes, yes I'll treat Wormtail no need to empty your pockets for Moony, especially since he'll be living at my house for the rest of the summer." Remus looked at him and couldn't help, but laugh. This was it. This was James' last resort to impress Lily, and take care of his friend with out using any magic.

Lily laughed as James jumped in front of her.
"You act like you're four, James." she said, shaking her head with a smile as she walked past him. Listening to Remus, she felt sorry for him. She knew that he wasn't very wealthy and that he had had family troubles as of right now.
"I actually just had an ice cream." Lily admitted to them, "So I might have to decline that offer."

James sighed as Lily declined the offer though he still held money out to Remus anyway. "Well if you don't want any Lily that's okay." He smiled turning to face her after Remus had taken the money. "Remmy needs to get some food anyway... you look like a Inferio," hearing that comment Peter couldn't help, but start laughing while Remus just sighed muttering to himself about jinxing him when they got on the train. James just smiled and patted Remus head, whisper in his ear the words 'good doggy'.
"Last time I check Sirius was the doggy," he whispered right back a smile on his face now, and James just laughed nodding his head.
"Good point Moony." He said holding his stomach now from laughing, and Peter two had still been laughing since he heard Remus' comment.
"Oi, then Remmy just come shopping with us, and then we can all eat at the Leaky Cauldron, how does that sound?" He asked his three friends. James and Remus had nodded their heads in agreement to the plan.
"I'll treat you Lily, that is if you allow me," he said softly facing her again and taking a bow to the girl.

Lily couldn't help but smile at James' comment about Remus.
"You do look like you could do with some food." she said kindly.
She hesitated, wondering if she should accept. They had been quite nice to her today. And James didn't make that much of a fool of himself...yet. "Well..alright." she said giving in.

James seemed to be in shock since Lily had accepted his offer {{This is James: }}. Remus mean while had sighed again, knowing that Lily wouldn't have lied to him about what he looked like. While Peter had walked over and started poking James arm asking him if he was alright in a hushed voice. They might have been strange, but Remus couldn't help to be glad he had met them on during his first year at Hogwarts. If he hadn't chance are that he would have agreed with his mother about not returning to the school.
"Lily, might I ask why you're here with out your mum and dad? If I'm not opposing that is," he said the last part in his shy small voice that nearly everyone he's met has heard at least once and chances are more then once. Shy to the very end, James would always tell him.

Lily looked at them.
"I'm here without my parents because they're muggles silly." Lily said with a laugh. "You lot do know that I am muggle-born. Good lord, after seven years I would hope you four do." she said now bemused. "Why do you ask..anyways?"

"Six years." Peter corrected her, while Remus shrugged his shoulders.
"Well they're your parents, my moms a muggle and she use to...come with me here." He said softly dropping his head at the thought of his moment. James saw that and patted his friend on his back, and whispered something in his ear that had made the younger male smile. Of course James knew what to do to cheer his best friends up, and even if Lily was there right now he could tell he was having mother issues so he had to spend more time with him then her.
"You know Lily," Peter smiled standing next to her now while James started to cheer up Remus. "At first I was shocked that he wouldn't talk to you," he smiled happily at her. "I guess James really does care about us a lot."

Lily counted in her head, "I stand corrected." she said, nodding to Peter. It was just six years, not seven.
She smiled at them both. James was kind; she knew that. She couldn't deny that he was kind. He was kind to her and especially his friends. It's just the large ego got in the way.
"I guess I was too..." Lily said, smiling down at him. "He does care."
She watched them for a few minutes before looking at her surrondings again. She would never get tired of the smells and sights of Diagon Alley.
I don't even think I've gotten used to the fact that I'm a witch! she thought, and suppressed a smile.

"Well are you guys coming or not?" James asked happily standing a few feet away Remus standing next to him. Moony seemed to be staring up at Potter and said something under his breath. Prongs must have heard what he said and smiled nodding his head.
"I am!" Peter said cheerfully rushing over to them, and James put his hand on his head.

Lily shrugged, following the crowd. She watched the three friends with a smile and giggled slightly as Peter acted like the four year old.
"Alright." she said, and caught up with them. "So what's the plan? Are we going to get your books with you?"

Sirius smiled at the lot of them and followed close behind thinking of how he and James were going to be roommates with Remus for the rest of the summer. It was going to be great. Even if Remus would probably keeping them in line the whole time. It didn't matter though seeing as he was just glad to see him again. In fact he hadn't seen his friends to much lately and although he was spending loads of time with James he wanted Moony and Wormtail to hang out with them.
He caught up next to Remus and put his arm around him and then smiled at him. "Yeah Remmy are we gonna go get your books or what?" he asked jokingly willing to pay for his books on the spot. Hell he would be willing to buy Remus anything as long as it made him happy.

Remus face flushed as Sirius had put his arm around his shoulder. Quickly he pulled away and looked down at the ground while dragging his luggage. He didn't really want them to waste money on him, so he was glad he had bought them already. Why had be let himself get into this bloody mess.
"I've already got my books Pads," he told him looking back now a few feet in front of him.
"Burn..." Peter muttered under his breath to James who started to crack up laughing.

Lily smiled at Remus, laughing as he flushed. She looked at the other three: James, Sirius and Peter.
"What about you lot?" she asked them, "Have you gotten everything yet?"
Did she have to always be the one who got them back on track? Bloody, hell...I feel like a mother. She watched them curiously and then looked at the store in front of them. Flourish & Blotts.
"We're here anyways...so speak up now." Lily said, a hand on her hip.
