"Do they really think that we don't know they're following us?" Lily was annoyed.
Kelsey giggled into her ear. "I don't know.." She honestly wondered sometimes. "They can't be that thick, right?"
The two girls walked down Hogsmeade towards the newly opened Muggle store. Although it was a little further from the main part of the village, even as the girls approached the store they could see the crowd of students inside.
They came to a stop in front of the sign 'Wee Muggle-ton: One-stop shop for all your non-wizard fancies'
Consequently, they heard some silent shuffling behind them.
"I thought you said Potter was doing okay this year?" Kelsey asked in a hushed tone.
"He is. He's just - I don't know sometimes," her friend blushed.
"Oh my god!" Kelsey looked at her in shock. "You actually like his attention!"
"No!"
"Admit it. You like Potter!"
"I do not!" she retorted as low in a voice as she could without alerting them.
It was the most curious thing. They were sure that the two boys were following them. But every time they turned around, there was nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Just empty air.
Kelsey wondered if either of them knew disillusionment charms.
Why they would choose to follow them around Hogsmeade was a mystery. Kelsey was more interested in learning what the store held. Thinking that that was a problem for another day they entered the store.
"Is that what I think it is?!" Kelsey exclaimed in delight at the row of vinyls in front of her.
"The Rolling Stones!" Lily grabbed a record off the shelf and held it in her hands.
The newly opened Muggle store in Hogsmeade was a hit so far. For the first time ever the wizarding town of Hogsmeade had been graced with the presence of this unique opportunity. The store was very crowded. There were many inquisitive students from Hogwarts, mostly muggle-borns like Lily and Kelsey. The remaining few with no muggle background whatsoever stood awkwardly in the shop wondering what to make of the intriguing products around them.
Two of these students included James Potter and Sirius Black.
"What is that?" James whispered to Sirius as he saw Lily beaming at some thin square piece of cardboard in her hand.
"A vinyl. They go in record players," Sirius explained.
Yes, the two boys had been covertly following Lily. But imagine their surprise when they found out that there was no bloke near Lily but rather just Kelpie Jones.
