Summary: Lily Potter should have listened to her brother when it came to wandering around the castle, but Scor is there to help her out.
Author's Notes: It's all J.K. Rowlings's.

Lily Potter had been at Hogwarts for only a few days, and already she was hopelessly lost. Albus told her to stay with at least one family member while she was going through the castle when she first got here, but had she listened? Of course not. She never did. All she really wanted was to see a bit of the castle, but nothing could ever be easy for Lily.

Why she decided to go out at night, she still wasn't sure. But now she could definitely say that the castle was a lot brighter during the day.

So now Lily was stuck in a completely silent hallway she had never been in before, with darkness surrounding her, and no idea of what time it was. If her parents found out about this, they were going to kill her.

Lily turned around sharply as she heard something drop and a few seconds later a muffled swear. Thinking the caretaker, Something Bryans, was around the corner, she quickly hid behind the closest tapestry, and waited with baited breath as the figure went past her hiding place. At first, she thought she was safe, but the tapestry was pulled away and standing in front of Lily was not the caretaker, but a student. He had pale blonde hair and a pointed face and was looking down at Lily with a somewhat haughty expression.

"Well, what do we have here? A first year, no doubt." The boy said. Lily watched him for a moment, before regaining some of her confidence after realizing he couldn't get her in trouble. He didn't have a badge on or anything.

"Yeah and so what? I have just as much right to walk around as you do."

"Which is none, when you think about it." Lily grinned and moved away from the tapestry into the middle of the hallway. "So tell me short stuff, you lost?"

"I might be, depends. Are you going to help me out if I do?" Lily asked, the fear she had moments ago vanishing quickly at this newest arrival. The boy grinned back at her.

"Sure, but first you have to tell me your name."

"I'm Lily. You?" He looked at for a moment, as if deciding what he should tell her, before answering.

"Just call me Scor."

"Got it Scor. To the seventh floor we go." Scor laughed, and started heading in the total opposite direction of where Lily thought Gryffindor tower might have been.. After a few minutes of Lily jogging every once in a while to catch up with Scor's long strides and him making comments about the castle and Lily's height, the two stopped at the end of a familiar staircase.

"Can you get it from here, or do I you need your password too?" Scor asked, a smirk on his face.

"I think I can handle myself, thanks so much." Lily said sweetly, walking towards the direction in which she now knew the Fat Lady's portrait was.

By the time she looked back, Scor was gone. Lily couldn't help but think that she wouldn't mind being lost in the dark for an hour or two if it meant meeting somebody like Scor.

So here's the start of the challenge, I hope you all like it. I promise the title will make sense in a few chapters. Please review!
