Summary: Scorpius can’t think of Lily in that way. He simply wasn’t allowed to.
Author's Notes: It’s all J.K. Rowlings’s.

Scorpius was in a forgotten corner of the library, where old, molding, and now outdated were shelved. He had a feeling that books back here hadn’t been checked out in decades, maybe even centuries. Lily was sitting beside him, but he wasn’t sure why they were back here in the first place. There were no assignments placed in front of them, and neither was reading anything, so why where they here? Come to think of it, he didn’t even remember walking to this destination.

“I can’t believe you brought me back here, Scor,” Lily said. She was looking at him curiously.

“I didn’t-”

“But you’re right I guess, no one would find us.” She looked different now, older even. She was walking towards him, moving closer. And suddenly, her lips were on his, his hands were on her waist, and he was moving her fingers through his hair. He couldn’t think straight, couldn’t pull himself away. He couldn’t resist her touch.

Her fingers left his hair, moved onto his shirt. The buttons were undone in a matter of moments, and then he moved onto hers…

Scorpius woke with a start. His heart was racing and he had broken a sweat. Goosebumps covered his arms. His thoughts were consumed of Lily. Not the Lily of reality, but the one of his latest dream. Scorpius quickly sprang out of bed and headed to the bathroom in his dormitory for a cold shower, still thinking about his dream.

But he knew it would never happen. How could she ever think of him in that way? And he was simply not allowed to think of her like that. They were friends, not lovers. Besides, she had two brothers and a number of cousins who would beat him if they even just knew his dreams. And he was so much older than her, and he would never take advantage of her that way.

But even as the cold water washed over him, he was thinking of feeling her warm touch on him.

Scorpius had no idea how he was going to get through her party tonight.

A/N: Very steamy, right? If Scorpius is lucky, it might happen in reality. Also, I’m a quarter of the way to the end! Only 75 stories left.

Summary: It’s time for Lily’s birthday, and there’s going to be a party. DO you have an invite?
Author's Notes: It’s all J.K. Rowlings’s.

Scorpius Malfoy was sitting calmly at the Slytherin table, enjoying his breakfast of eggs, bacon, and toast. The post owls had come and gone and the entire Hall was filled with people chatting over their morning meal, including Scorpius and his friends when suddenly Lily sat down in between him and Andrew. A new place setting popped up as she took her seat.

“Didn’t know that would happen. Pretty cool,” she said. “Wonder if it will disappear when I get up.”

“If that’s all you’re over here to find out…” Scorpius began.

“Oh no! Actually I’m here to let you know that my birthday will be arriving in ten short days.”

“Because you haven’t alerted me to the fact every few minutes since the beginning of term,” Scorpius muttered.

“Well, through my amazing skills of persuasion, I was able to talk Nev- er- Professor Longbottom into letting me have a party in one of the empty classrooms, so here are your invites.” Lily said, handing Scorpius, Jacob, and Andrew each a lavender parchment with somewhat illegible handwriting in black ink, and heading over to the Ravenclaw table to give out more. Scorpius took his and was able to decipher it after a bit. It read:

You’re Invited to Lily Potter’s 15th Birthday
(Lucky you!)

When? September 27th
Where? 2nd Floor Corridor, West Wing (You’ll find it, trust me.)
RSVP? By September 24th (You know you’re coming.)

“I don’t think I’ll be able to make it!” Scorpius shouted across the hall. “I have more important things to do!” Lily responded by sticking her tongue out at him. He was pretty sure that she would have had a different response if there weren’t any teachers watching.


Hogwarts did not get to see many parties in its walls that didn’t involve celebrating the death of a ghost. And many people, at least in Scorpius’s opinion, were overreacting. Those who were invited searched high and low for dates, an amazing outfit, and the perfect gift to give to Lily Potter. Those who had not been fortunate enough to receive an invitation were desperate in their attempts to get one.

“I swear to Merlin, this is the largest amount of people that have ever pretended to like me at one time,” Lily said while laughing as she, Scorpius, and Hugo made decorations for the party.

“Like who?” Hugo asked as he tried to untangle himself from a piece of ribbon.

“Zabini was practically on her knees, begging me for one.”

“And?” Scorpius asked worriedly

“I laughed in her face and walked away.” All three laughed.

“But seriously, you turned this place into a nuthouse.” Hugo used his wand to cut the ribbon from around him, causing Lily to grab it away from him.

“I know. Neville- oh shit, I always forget- Professor Longbottom said he regrets his decision.”

“Does he really?” Scorpius also started getting tangled in the deadly red ribbon. “Damn, what is this stuff? You trying to kill us?”

“No, you two are just idiots,” Lily said. She got up and started pulling the ribbon from around Scorpius’s hands. As he took the last bits of ribbon from around his hands, Scorpius grabbed Lily and started to tickle her without mercy. Hugo joined in on the act as well.

"What is this for?"

"For making us deal with the ribbon from hell!"


A/N: Two updates in two days? Has the world gone mad? Anyway, things are about to get steamy.

Summary: school year will be special, Lily knows it.

“Don’t tell me you didn’t do any homework this summer,” Scorpius said incredulously. He was staring at Lily in their compartment on the train, where a number of textbooks and scattered pieces of parchment surrounded her.

Lily and Scorpius had met up at the station and quickly grabbed a compartment all to themselves, while friends and family stopped in every once in a while. After about an hour or two into the ride, Lily began swearing violently and starting pulling out every book in her trunk she could find.

“I did most of it! Just not Charms or Ancient Runes.” Lily bit her lip sheepishly. “Or Potions.”

“Give me that.” Scorpius pulled the parchment lying on her lap labeled Potions and began writing an essay with apparent ease.

“You are the absolute best,” Lily exclaimed, breathing a sigh of relief of at least one assignment taken care of.

“I know.” Scorpius grabbed Lily’s book to check a fact. “But now you owe me at least two Transfigurations essays.”

“Whatever you want. But I think it’s pretty pathetic that you have to go to a fourth year for help on N.E.W.T level work.”

“Stop rubbing it in or I’m not helping you now.”

“Done talking.”

“You know,” Scorpius said as he handed the completed Potions essay on the affects of wolfsbane in potions back to Lily for her to copy in her own handwriting, “this isn’t the best way to start out a school year. I mean, you’re already behind in your assignments, and we haven’t even made it to Hogwarts yet.”

“That’s funny, cause I’m looking at this year as being pretty good.”

“How?”

“First off, this is Strobe’s last year at Hogwarts, so the Captaincy for Quidditch is open, and I’m the obvious choice. And half my family is heading out, so soon I won’t be one of the many, you know? I’ll start standing out.” She was smirking. “And this is my brother James’s last year, so that means that I won’t have to worry so much about him reporting to my parents about all of my actions. And now I’m not one of the younger students anymore.” Lily shrugged her shoulders. “It’s all very exciting.”

Scorpius laughed at Lily’s explanations and threw her a chocolate frog from the pile laying next to him, then picked up one for himself. He held it in the air still laughing.

“To a great year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.”

So, who’s ready to kill me now? I know, I know. But with so much time off in the next couple weeks for me, I’m hoping to put out some more than recently. Maybe even another one this week. On a more personal note, I’ve been in a euphoric state where not much has mattered because the Phillies won the World Series! I’m a huge fan, and watching them win was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. I even skipped school to go to the parade, which was ridiculous. Police estimated somewhere between 1.5 to 3 mil people showed up. I was hanging out a window, in case you were wondering.

Title: Predictions

Summary: Lily and Scorpius through the eyes of their fathers.
Author's Notes: It's all J.K. Rowling's.
“The purple looks great, dear,” Lily said as she hugged Scorpius. “Really brings out the color in your eyes.” She eyes his Pride of Portree shirt, purple with golden letters, with slight distaste. “That’s exactly what I was thinking!” Scorpius exclaimed sarcastically, also cringing at the sight of her green Harpies outfit.

The two greeted their friend's respective father, and in a simultaneous action, maneuvered so that their fathers were forced to sit next to each other. Neither one looked so thrilled about the situation.

“Doesn't make any sense, huh?” Harry said after ten min of uncomfortable silence between the two fathers, who had been avoiding looking at each other.

“What do you mean, Potter?”

"Those two being friends. It doesn't make any sense. We hated each other in school, and they're inseparable.” Draco looked around as if he were really thinking about his response.

"It's punishment, bad karma coming to get me, whatever you want to call it." Draco said after a moment. Repayment for all my bad deeds in my youth."

"Are you calling my daughter a punishment, Malfoy?" Harry asked angrily, getting ready to stand up and with his wand already in his hand.

"Calm down, Potter," Draco said, not even bothering to look up at the angry father. "It won't be really bad until they get married."

"They're not gonna..." Harry trailed off as the 2 fathers both looked over at the two teenagers. Scorpius was currently whispering something in Lily's ear, who was struggling to stifle her laughter.

Just then the Prides' seeker grabbed the snitch that had been lingering by the Harpies goal posts, winning it for his team. The Harpies fans let out a collective groan that was drowned out by the cheers of the purple clad supporters. The sound however, was not loud enough to cover Lily's swear.

“Language Lily,” Harry shouted just as Scorpius laughed. Lily smacked Scorpius on the arm, which he retaliated with by squishing her in a bear hug.

“Ger'off'me!”

“Not likely” said Scorpius with a grin, but Lily was still scowling because of her team’s defeat.

“Maybe you have a point,” Harry agreed.


I know, that took forever. My computer broke, and I had to get a new one. THen I had some writer's block where I basically stared at my new computer and wrote absolutely nothing. THis is pretty bad too, but I'm feeling it will get better in the next couple chapters. Hopefully people are still reading here, and I think you for that!

Summary: Lily's got a great gift for Scorpius, even if it is a bit late.
Author's Notes: It’s all J.K. Rowlings’s.

The summer holidays began once more, bringing the end of Scorpius’s fifth and Lily’s third year. Though Scorpius hadn’t yet received his O.W.L. results, he was pretty positive that he did well in most of his subjects (excluding History of Magic and Ancient Runes, as he was hopeless in both). Lily herself got a considerable amount of praise from the Transfiguration teacher, Professor Lucas, for her performance in that subject (even if she didn’t fair quite as well in the rest of her exams). And it was with raised hopes that the two, along with the rest of the Hogwarts population, boarded the Hogwarts Express.

“Yeah, my dad should be happy. My mum said he didn’t do so well in Care of Magical Creatures, so…,” Scorpius said as he hauled his trunk into an empty compartment. Hugo, Jacob, and Andrew followed him, loading their things in as well, with Lily bringing up the rear.

“Don’t worry, mate,” Jacob said earnestly. “I know my parents will just be happy if I get at least one O.W.L.”

“I think mine will want a bit more out of me.”

“My uncle George only got three, and look at him.” Hugo shared a glance with Lily to confirm this fact, to which she nodded.

“Besides, they can’t be that hard, right?” Lily asked a little hopefully, watching the three Slytherins for their reactions.

“Keep telling yourself that, Potter,” Andrew said while laughing. Hugo and Lily looked slightly nervous at the prospect of O.W.L.s and fifth year in general, not at all helped by their three seniors retelling the horrors of that year.

They passed the rest of the train ride in a similar fashion, along with a few rounds of Exploding Snap. As the train began to pull into King’s cross, Lily swore.

“Oh bloody hell, I completely forgot!” She rummaged through her rucksack and pulled out a beaten up and decidedly rumpled up envelope. “Happy Birthday, Scor-a-dory!”

“My birthday was a week ago, Bug,” Scor reminded her, rolling his eyes and taking the envelope.

“I know, and I apologize. I gave you the card, right?” Lily said as she made her way out of the compartment. “But you’ll love this and I couldn’t get it ‘till now. I had to pull a couple strings, if you know what I mean.” Lily winked. “They’re well worth the wait.”

Scorpius had been opening his very belated gift at the same time as Lily was talking. He had it open and…

“No bloody way! Pride of Portree against the Holyhead Harpies? I was gonna ask my dad to get Pride tickets for me, but you....” Scorpius took a closer look at the tickets. “Bloody hell, these are some amazing seats. How the …?”

“I told you, I pulled some strings.” Lily rolled her eyes. “My mom was a Harpie, and she covers Quidditch for the Prophet, so she got me these. They’re press seats but I didn’t think that was a big deal, right?” Scorpius shook his head. Those seats had to be good anyway, if people had to report on the games. “And, you don’t even have to give me a ticket, even though I know you want to. My mom got four. She can’t come though; she’s got some charity event or something like that, so my dad is coming. You’ve got the other two.”

Scorpius was at a loss for words and almost tripped down the steps that led off the Express and onto the platform.

“No need to say thank you or anything,” Lily hinted. Scorpius looked up from his tickets, which he still couldn’t believe.

“Thank you!” Scorpius pulled her into a hug as they walked to their respective families. “I can’t believe this!”

“It’s not a big deal, really. And we’re sitting next to each other and everything. Just me and you. Oh and my dad and whoever you bring.”

“This is so exciting! I can’t wait to tell my dad.”

“Well, I’m this way. Write to me, alright?” Lily pulled Scorpius into one last hug.

“Promise. See you at the match!”

Summary: When you eat with one member of the extended Weasley family, you eat with them all.
Author's Notes: It’s all J.K. Rowlings’s.

It had been awkward the past week after the break-up during meals at the Slytherin table for the only five fifth years. The guys were all on Scorpius’s side while Alarice and Pamela shot all three (occasionally turning to the Gryffindor table) death glares, no matter how far away they happened to be sitting. He just couldn’t take it anymore, and when he mentioned it to Lily, she immediately came up with a solution.

“Have lunch with me at Gryffindor table today! We’re so much fun; you’ll forget all about those girls!” Scorpius wasn’t sure if this was the best idea ever. Lily had promised him that all of her relatives would be completely civil and friendly to him, but still…

“Everyone, Scorpius,” Lily said as she walked up to an extremely red-haired section of the Gryffindor table. “You know Al, Jamie, and Hugo. That’s Louis.” she pointed to the only blonde at that section of the Gryffindor table, who was on the edge of the group across from Lily and Scorpius, talking to a non-Weasley. “Rosie’s right there with Albus,” Lily said pointing to the girl next to Louis. “Roxy’s next to her, and Lucy, she’s in Hufflepuff but she eats with us sometimes because her and Roxy are best friends, should be next to her, but she’s got this huge Charms exam after lunch and she really needs to do well.” Each mentioned person waved at the sound of their name. “And here’s Fred with James,” Lily ended with, taking a seat next to Hugo and motioning for Scorpius to sit too.

“Hi everyone,” Scorpius said nervously. Those people who did not currently have food in their mouths responded. As soon as he sat down he was bombarded by a thousand different conversations at once.

“Mum and dad got me this locket for my birthday, isn’t it great? And it-”

“Jacobs has been acting really wonky during practice this week. Something’s off with him and if it ruins us for the cup-”

“We’ll have to put it right in front of them if we want it to work, or else-”

“-absolutely bonkers if he finds out. You won’t tell him, right?”

And as Scorpius watched the family, awestruck at their closeness, Lily suddenly addressed him.

“How you fairing, Scor?” Lily asked, concerned at his lack of talking and eating.

“I’m fine. Just a fair bit overwhelming,” he answered honestly.

“Completely understandable,” Rose said.

“Of course, you have to deal with Lily on a daily basis, and she’s the worst of-” Fred began, but he was cut short as Lily slapped him on the back of his head.

“That’s abuse, that is!”

“And you deserved it,” Fred’s sister Roxanne announced from across the table. “You never know when to shut your trap.”

“And I’m sure you never ever gossip with Lucy,” Fred replied sarcastically. Roxanne was about to respond when Albus, ever the peacemaker, cut her off.

“Quit it, the both of you. We’ve all agreed that any sibling rivalry is to happen inside Gryffindor tower or in the absence of non-family members.” Albus looked around the hall. “And there’re quite a few non-family members around here.”

Most of the cousins laughed while Roxanne and Fred both mumbled back to their metaphorical corners. The rest of lunch went on like this, with at least five different conversations going on at once. Every once in a while a joke was shared with the whole, one which caused Hugo to squirt milk out of his nose and left his cousins and sister to torment him for the rest of the meal. Scorpius realized, as Albus was retelling a comical Potions lesson to he group, that this was one of the best lunches he had experienced in a long time. He hadn’t even noticed the Slytherins since he had walked into the Hall.

And when Lily asked him if he had fun while the two of them were both heading outside, Scorpius for care of Magical creatures and Lily for Herbology, he answered honestly.

“It was fun.”

Sorry that took forever, my power cord decided to stop working for me. Hope you liked this!

Title: An Easy Choice

Prompt: Choices
Word Count: 527
Rating: PG
Summary: Alarice gives Scorpius an ultimatum, and it's a very easy decision for him.
Author's Notes: It’s all J.K. Rowlings’s.

The sight of them together made Alarice’s blood boil. No matter what she did, no matter how many times she had Pamela threatened, Alarice could not even put a dent into Scorpius and Lily’s friendship, something Alarice knew would one day turn into a romantic relationship if she didn’t try this last ditch effort to stop it.

Two months ago word got around that Ryan Killian had cheated on poor little Lily Potter (the gossip was fueled by rumors that Killian was gay and the fact that the day after everyone found out, he came to breakfast with a black eye and a split lip). And now that Lily didn’t have a boyfriend to spend at least sometime with, Alarice had to watch the two of them spend almost every second together. She had to pry Scorpius away to even spend a few minutes with him. Today was no different.

“Scorpius, let’s head to lunch.” Scorpius had said they would go get lunch than hang out over an hour ago, but when he didn’t show up, Alarice went looking for him. She had found him in the fifth floor corridor with none other than Lily Potter, having a ridiculous conversation about some Quidditch players.

“One second, alright?” Scorpius said distractedly. “I’m telling you Bug, Bryson is definitely the best seeker out there today. He’s almost guaranteed for the national team, besides-”

“Now Scorpius,” Alarice hissed. She felt like she was going to explode. He was always flaking out on her to be with Lily.

“If you don’t mind, Allie poo, we’re talking. I’m sure Scor will catch up with you later,” Lily answered sarcastically before immediately turning her attention back to Scorpius. “Please don’t pull that bull on me. You and I both know that Bryson doesn’t have anything on Marks. You do remember his catch in that last-”

“Look, if you’re not coming with me,” Alarice cut in quickly, “can we at least talk for a second?” Alarice had made up her mind. She would give him a choice, and whatever he chose, she would deal with it.

“Yeah, I guess,” Scorpius answered as he shared a look with Lily, who stood up and walked around the corridor and out of sight. Alarice just knew that the younger girl was smirking in her little self-satisfied way the whole while. “Take some floor.” Scorpius patted the ground next to him. Alarice declined, disgusted at the idea of sitting on the dirty castle floors.

“Well, what’s up?” Scorpius asked as he stood up from the floor.

“I’ve been thinking, and if you want this relationship to work, you need to make a choice.” Scorpius raised his eyebrows. Alarice continued, talking very quickly as if the conversation was like a bandage that she wanted to pull off in order to cause the least amount of pain. “I understand you’re very close to Potter, but I need you to choose. Be friends with her, or be my boyfriend.”

“Are you giving me an ultimatum?” Scorpius asked incredulously. Alarice nodded, causing Scorpius to shake his head. “I don’t believe it. You’re nuts, you know that? Easiest decision ever; I choose Lily.”

Sorry that took forever everyone. I just have so much to do for school over the summer, and I've been extremely lazy so far this summer. Hope you like this one!

Summary: What you give is what you get...Too bad for Killian.
Author's Notes: It’s all J.K. Rowlings’s.

Scorpius wasn’t quite sure how this was possible. He was leaning against a wall outside the Entrance Hall with every male Weasley and Potter at Hogwarts. As soon as Scorpius had made sure Lily was alright and walked back to Gryffindor tower with her, he immediately reported to James Potter and told him what happened. Potter looked like he wanted to kill Killian right then and there, but he decided that it would be best if he got the full experience of hurting a Weasley-Potter.

Albus was told, who let Hugo know, while James told Fred and than Louis, a seventh year, was informed. All six of the guys were waiting together. Two blondes, two with black hair, and two redheads all lined up, waiting for Killian. It was a sight to see.

“There he is,” Hugo said suddenly. All twenty-four eyes moved to the where he was pointing, the wooden doors that opened to the grounds. There he was, laughing and joking with a mate of his, completely unaware of the six wizards ready to beat him up.

Albus, being closest to the door, grabbed him before he even noticed them, and Louis kept his mates moving, “unless you want to join him.” The color drained from all their faces and quickly started walking again.

Killian was quickly shoved into a passageway off the Entrance Hall, and thrown against the wall by Albus. Lily’s family and Scorpius quickly surrounded him, and James stepped up in front of him first.

“Hi Ryan, how are you?”

“Not so sure right-”

“Great, great. So, we have a couple questions for you, Ryan.” Fred cracked his knuckles threateningly behind Scorpius. “The first would be, is there something mentally wrong with you?”

“Um,” He stuttered. “No.”

“So you’re sane then. Good to hear.” James leaned against the wall next to Killian, whose eyes were darting around, possibly looking for an escape route “We just wanted to make sure, seeing as no one in their right mind would ever cheat on my little sister.”

“It perplexed us quite a bit,” Albus said as he stepped up. “Though we know Lily is a bit of an overbearing character, she is still a fabulous person most of the time.” He took the side that James had not occupied.

“And she seemed pretty keen on you.” Scorpius was up next. He put a hand on Killian’s shoulder. “So we were just thinking that we would pay you back in a similar manner that you did for her.”

Scorpius pulled back his other hand, and slammed a punch straight in Killian’s face. Albus and James both aimed for his stomach. Killian tried to fight back, hooking Scorpius n the chin, but he just hit right back. James stepped back and Fred came into the fray, hitting every part of Killian he could find. Hugo and Louis threw a few punches as well, and in a few minutes, he was on the ground, his face almost unrecognizable.

“I think that’s good for now.” Fred said as he watched the slumped over form of Killian.

They all left the corridor, but not without throwing a full body bind at him.

“He shouldn’t cause anyone any trouble for a while,” Albus said as they headed towards the Great Hall. “Lucy, she’s a huge gossip in Hufflepuff, started a rumor that he was gay. And the girl he was with, she broke up with him because he told her that he broke up with Lily.”

“He’s an asshole,” Scorpius said. They all wholeheartedly agreed.

Title: The Worst Valentine's Day

Prompt: Red
Word Count: 762
Rating: PG13
Summary: Ryan proves Scorpius right, and on Valentine's Day no less.
Author's Notes: It’s all J.K. Rowlings’s.

Lily was gripping a red heart shaped card, excited beyond belief at the prospect of her first Valentine’s Day with a boyfriend. She was returning from her last class of the day and heading to the common room, where she was going to surprise Ryan. When she arrived, he wasn’t in sight, so she simply headed up to his dormitory and barged right into the 4th years’ room, not even bothering to knock. What Lily saw when she entered was not what she had expected.

Ryan was there, but he was not alone. He was in a passionate embrace with some girl and both were completely unaware that Lily had even entered the room. Lily couldn’t move, couldn’t look away, no matter how much she really wanted to. Ryan, he had been so nice to her, but he had betrayed her. She couldn’t breathe. She didn’t understand, how could he have done this to her?

“Hi, having fun?” Lily said weakly, but just enough for the girl to look over and see her. Her eyes widened in surprise, and she pushed Ryan off her. He turned around as well, guilt written all across his face.

“Lily, I can explain, we were-”

“I’m pretty sure you can’t explain this away.” Lily said, choking back tears.

“I thought you said you broke up with her?” The girl asked, looking from Ryan to Lily.

“I was going to, I-”

“Didn’t get around to it?” Lily said sarcastically, cutting him off. If he had broken up with her, that would have been better, not that she would be extremely happy about it. But he had to cheat on her? Was there something wrong with her that Ryan didn’t want her anymore?

“Look Lily, I’m sorry, it’s just-”

“I really don’t want to hear it.” She looked down at her hand, where the red card was now crumpled up in her anger and frustration. “Here.” She threw the ball of parchment at him. “Happy Valentine’s Day.” Lily choked out as the tears finally broke through. She ran from the room, out of the tower, and down corridors. She wasn’t sure where she was going, but once she was out of breath, she slumped against the wall of a corridor, laughing bitterly at the fact that it was the History of Magic corridor.

Lily wasn’t sure how long she was sitting there, but suddenly there was an arm around her shoulders. She looked up, and there was Scorpius.

“How’d you know I was here?” Lily asked. She wiped a tear from her face, wondering how red her eyes and cheeks must be at the moment.

“Well, I was looking for you, but no one seemed to know where you were. So I asked your brother, James, if he had the Map, you know to find you, so he pulls it out and we see you running here. He was all ready to go after you with me, but I got him to see that it would probably be best if only one of us went. We argued for a bit, but I finally won out. So you wanna let me know what happened.”

“Ryan, he-” Lily began, but Scorpius was up before she had even gotten a few words out.

“Did he try and hurt you? Take advantage of you? Damn it, I’ll-”

“Not like that Scor.” Lily said. Scorpius was still scowling at the thought of Ryan. “You can still beat him up if you want, though.” Scorpius looked absolutely delighted, and Lily couldn’t help but grin. “He was cheating on me. I don’t even know the girl.”

“That fucking bastard cheated on you?” Scorpius said. “Why would he ever do that? He would be messing around with the-” He stopped mid-sentence, his face red from embarrassment. Scorpius cleared his throat.

“Did I do something wrong, Scor?” Lily asked as she raised her voice. “Shit Scor, it’s Valentine’s Day! What the fuck is wrong with me that he had to go with someone else?”

“Don’t ever say that again, Lils. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you.” Scorpius sat down and enveloped Lily in a tight hug. “Killian is an asshole and he’s not worth another thought.” Both were silent for a few moments, with an occasional sniffle from Lily. After a minute or two Lily spoke up.

“You’re amazing Scor.” Lily said into his shoulder. She looked up at him and the ends of her mouth twitched. “Beat him to a bloody red pulp, will you?”

“My pleasure.” He said, still holding onto his best friend tightly.

Pamela and Alarice were the best of friends since they were at least seven years old. They helped each other out in every situation, which was why Pamela was trying to look for Lily Potter to go and tell her off.

Pamela had been worried about Allie ever since she had confessed to maybe having a small crush on Scorpius Malfoy in their third year. At the time, Pam had encouraged Allie. She really thought they could get together, seeing as Pam was probably one of the most beautiful girls in their year (her grandmother was supposed to have been gorgeous). Pamela had not foreseen the problem that was Lily Potter.

Potter had been a little first year when Allie had first had feelings for Malfoy, so what threat could she pose? But she was a danger now, at fourteen. Many of the older bys at Hogwarts considered her one of the prettiest girls, and she was also Scorpius’s best friend. Pamela had been quite surprised when Scorpius asked Alarice out, but she knew Allie was thrilled, so she decided to be a good friend and just let Allie stay happy. But now the inevitable had happened.

Pam knew that Lily would be a problem for Allie, and she was determined to stop this twisted love triangle (which the three involved would probably never admit to) before Alarice got hurt. And there the little brat was, surrounded by a cluster of red-headed cousins and one of her brothers. When Pam cleared her throat, all of them looked up.

“Can we help you?” One of them asked. Pam was pretty sure that her dad was the joke shop owner, but it really didn’t matter at the moment.

“Actually, you can. I’m looking for Potter.”

“What do you want?” The Potter her age, Albus, said. Pam fought the urge to spit back a sarcastic remark. She needed to be nice for at least a few more moments if she wanted the youngest Potter to at least talk to her.

“I actually need Lily.” She said as sweetly as possible. The girl in question’s eyebrows flew up, and she looked Pam over.

“You’re Zabini’s friend, yeah?” Potter asked. Pam nodded and she saw that the joke shop cousin and another Weasley, possibly Rose, share a significant glance. “What could I possibly help you with?”

“I just need to talk to you. It’ll only take a second.” Pam said, plastering the fakest smile on her face as possible. She could tell that Potter saw right through it, but she still signaled for her family members to leave, promising she’d catch up in a minute.

“Well? What do you want?” Potter asked, leaning up against the wall.

“I want you to stop trying to break Allie and Scorpius up.” Pam said and her sweet act dropping. She was at once grateful for her tall frame, because even though she was only a little over a year older than Potter, Pam towered over her.

“I’m not trying to do that.”

“Maybe not consciously, but you like Scor way too much to let their relationship just be.” Potter scoffed.

“Yeah, okay. I’m pining for Scor and-” Potter began sarcastically, but Pamela cut her off before she could get into it.

“You may not realize it, but you Allie and Scor are in a love triangle if I ever saw one. And you’ll be much worse once you admit your feelings. All I’m here to say is that if you try and hurt Allie, my best friend, I’ll make sure to hurt you.” Potter looked taken aback, but recovered quickly.

“Well it goes both ways, Vaisey. If Zabini thinks about hurting my best friend, I’ll take you both down.” Potter leaned in and whispered. “Be a doll and pass that on for me.”

“Of course.” Pamela whispered back, and both girls stalked off in opposite directions.

FYI: Lily is referred to as Potter here because it's from Pamela's point of view, and that's what I think she would call her.
