Chapter 1
Lily Potter sat at a table outside Florean Fortesque's ice cream parlor. It was her favorite place to write her articles for the prophet and now that she was writing her book, she loved doing it here too. It was summer and so she decided to sit outside, it was nice to watch the people that went past and take in the crisp summer air. She felt a smile tug at her lips, she loved sitting outside. There was so much to see and the atmosphere was so light and cheerful that it made her feel light and cheerful too.
She looked at the watch on her left wrist and her eyes did a double take, she was going to be late for tea with her parents. She hurriedly packed up her things and stood up, grabbing her handbag as she went. She was in such a hurry that she didn't see where she was going. She had just stepped out onto the main street and was hurrying towards Diagon Alley's main square, when she felt herself collide into something solid.
"OWW" she groaned as she fell backwards onto the concrete. Her writing book had soared out of her hands and landed a few feet away from her.
"I'm so sorry" came a husky male voice from above her.
"Its fine" she assured from her position on her ground and without looking up proceeded to pick up her scattered items.
"I can't believe I was so careless, I should have looked where I was going" the male voice said.
"No really, it was my fault, I was in a rush and I wasn't paying attention. Don't worry about it" she reassured the man as she picked up the quills that had escaped the pouch they were in.
"I believe this belongs to you" he said as she stood up, stretching out his hand to give her the book.
Her eyes found the black leather bound book that her father had given her with the gold letters Lily on top.
"Thank y"- she trailed off as she caught sight of the man whose hand was attached to her book and her breath caught in her throat.
He was tall maybe about six feet or so, he had fine blond hair and magnificent grey eyes that looked like the color of a stormy night sky. She cleared her throat as she noticed him looking politely at her.
"Thanks" she said and took the book from him.
"No problem" he replied and smiled at her, she couldn't help but notice that his eyes seemed to sparkle when he smiled.
She smiled at him and tucked the book safely under her arm and made her way to Weasley's wizard wheezes where she would use her Uncle George's fireplace to floo home. She couldn't apprate there because her father, being an auror was very set on the security of his house.
"The safety of the family first" her father used to say.
She smiled as her chocolate brown eyes caught sight of the bright colored banner of Weasley's wizard wheezes. Even during her first visit to Diagon Alley, the banners and posters of her uncle's shop always stood out amongst everything else. It seemed like nothing had changed.
She hurried into the shop and was greeted by her Uncle George and his son Fred who were both overseeing the delivery of a new shipment.
"Sup Lil?" Fred greeted while placing a few items on the shelves.
"You're late" her Uncle George jibed wagging his finger at her "your mother's already owled three times and has even flooed twice to see if you were here".
"I was so caught up in my writing I totally forgot about the time" she half wailed.
"Well I suggest you get there soon, we don't want Uncle Harry to jump on the band wagon as well and decide to personally come down here and demand to know where his precious, only daughter is" Fred remarked in a baby's voice grinning at her. "I can just imagine Uncle Harry coming here to interrogate us, what have you done to my baby girl? Where is she?" he mimicked in an unflattering version of Harry's voice.
"Shut up Fred" Lily snapped.
"Oh touchy!" he said "what's stuck up your bum?" he asked.
"You" she snapped and went over to hug George.
"That time of the month again couz?" he asked and she flipped him when George wasn't looking.
"I've got to go" she replied and after hugging her uncle she kissed Fred on the cheek and grabbed some floo powder.
"Don't forget to send your mum and dad our love" George said as she stepped into the fireplace. "Katie said she'd pop over with that new recipe book tomorrow".
"Ok Uncle George, will do, bye!" and with a cry of "12 Grimmauld Place" she was engulfed by green flames and disappeared.

Scorpius Malfoy sat down at his desk in his very large and very extravagant office. He had just come from a lunch meeting with some of the executives from the magical Law enforcement department. He was trying to get some information that would help one of his clients during their trial. He was late in coming back from lunch and he hadn't even bothered to look where he was going and he bumped into someone. Or rather she bumped into him. While he had remained upright, she had collided into him and had landed, ungracefully on the hard concrete pavement. He massaged the bridge of his nose; he was always rushing these days and he barely had time to do anything he wanted anymore. Being a Wizarding Lawyer was not an easy job these days. He was always working and he barely had time for himself. Not to mention that he had a falling out with the Auror department and so he couldn't expect any help from them if he needed. But still he was doing alright.
When he was fresh out of Hogwarts, being a top student in at least two subjects, he was offered a scholarship to become an auror and to train with the ministry and he accepted, to his father's great disgust. But Scorpius had always wanted to take that path ever since he was a boy. He had believed that the auror department could do something for the greater good of the Wizarding world but he was wrong. He did well in his theory tests and passed them with flying colors and he even aced the practical but just as he was about to graduate from training and become a full fledged auror, disaster struck. Weeks before he graduated, he kept noticing something fishy going on in the department, there seemed to be some shady dealings within the department. Many of their suspects in major cases were being dismissed and Scorpius had guessed that it was probably due to the hefty sums that the aurors were being paid.
He had suspected that many of the aurors had been accepting bribes to release their suspects and Scorpius had caught wind of it. In fact it all happened so suddenly, he had come back to the office late at night to retrieve his cloak that he had left behind, when he had heard his supervisor, Zacharias Smith, talking to someone in his office. Scorpius had taken a closer look and he had found the head of a prime suspect in a murder case floating in Smith's fireplace. Upon eavesdropping on their conversation he had found that Smith was being paid a lot of money to keep quiet about their dealings. When he had voiced this to his head supervisor, he had been assured it was all taken care off and then the next day when he had come in, he was 'let go' from the department. Scorpius had suspected that his supervisor Terry Boot was in on this whole bribing scheme too and to cover his tracks he had fired Scorpius.
After being fired from the auror department before actually graduating to become an auror, Scorpius had gone into law training and had decided to become a lawyer. He started up his own firm and specialized in compensation for war victims and he also did prosecution for cases. At least he was helping attain justice through some outlet. He paused mid- thought as he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in" he called.
"Mr. Malfoy" his secretary said, "your mother is on the floo network, can I patch her into your office?"
"Yeah sure Nadia go ahead" he replied and swiveled his chair around to face the fireplace and soon enough within seconds the shining blond head of Pansy Parkinson materialized in the fireplace.
"Scorpius darling are you busy?" she asked in that Syrupy voice of hers.
"No mother, you know I always have time for you" he answered back.
"Yes that's nice darling now I was thinking that we should get your dress robes tailored from Romero's instead of Malkin's for the ball" she said.
"Yes mother, if you think that's the best then we should do it" he replied mechanically.
"Well that's good Scorpius darling, now the simple matter of the date, who are you bringing for the ball?" Pansy asked looking at him saucer eyes.
"No one yet mother" he replied and then said the line that she had been waiting to hear "did you have someone in mind mother?"
"Oh yes, I was thinking that Millicent and Marcus have a lovely daughter, Melody and she'll be a perfect date for you" Pansy said smiling plastically at him.
He sighed to himself and replied as any 'good' son would "yes mother, that sounds lovely".
"Alright Scorpius darling, I have to go, the ladies are coming to the mansion for tea. So we'll go and get your dress robes tailored on Saturday how about that?" she said looking expectantly at him.
"Yes mother that sounds good" he said and watched as her head disappeared from his fireplace.
When pansy was gone, he looked at the empty fireplace. The ball, he had totally forgotten about it, it was supposed to be on Sunday. It was ministry gala, held for all its top officials and since his father was head of demons and dark arts association there was no escaping it. Scorpius had graduated from Hogwarts with top honors. He was the top student in potions and astronomy and the other times he had come in second. Harry Potter's son Albus had gotten top in Defense against the dark arts and transfiguration while Ron Weasley's daughter had snagged most of the first places for the other subjects. Much to his father's delight, Scorpius had been picked to play in the Slytherin Qudditch team without needing to buy the latest model of racing brooms for the whole team.
Scorpius was very much like his father but yet at the same time, so very different. Like his father, he had the same gray eyes, same blond hair and that same smirk. However, unlike his father, he was kind, funny and he cared about everything around him. Scorpius loved his father, yes he truly did. When he was younger his father used to tell him things about life and everything under the sun. He remembered times in his childhood when his father used to take him to the park and push him on the swing and they would go and get ice cream on impulse. But his father was different then, and he was different now. Pansy had made sure of that. They used to have so much fun together and when Scorpius thought of those times, he loved his father. But then when he remembered his father now, he wasn't so sure, in fact he wasn't sure if he even knew his father anymore. He was then interrupted from his thoughts again by a knock on the door.
"Come in" he called tiredly.
"Sorry to bother you Mr. Malfoy but your father is on the floo Network, may I patch him in?" his secretary asked.
"Yes sure Nadia, go ahead" he replied and he swiveled his chair around for the second time that day to face the fireplace.
It wasn't long before he was facing his father's silvery blonde head. He was greeted with his father's trademark smirk and he looked blankly back at his father.
"Hello father" he said emotionlessly "how may I help you?"
"Scorpius" he father said in that stern voice of his "have you spoken to your mother?"
"Yes father I have and we are going to get my dress robes tailored on Saturday and I have agreed to go to the ball with Marcus Flint and Millicent's daughter Melody" he said robotically.
"Ah, very good! Excellent boy!" his smirk widened. "I thought I was going to have to come down there and knock some sense into you but it seems that you've got a good hold of things. I will see you at dinner tonight" and with that, his father's head vanished.
"Yes father, and a hello and goodbye to you too" he mumbled.
This time he was interrupted yet again by a knock on the door.
"What is it?" he half snapped, half yelled.
"Sorry Mr. Malfoy but Mrs. De Winters is here to discuss the case" Nadia said.
"Let her in" he said and massaged the bridge of his nose. Today was going to be a long day.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Lilly staggered out of the fireplace to her parents' house. She hated traveling by floo and she was never graceful when she got out of the fireplace, not like her mother. She heard footsteps hurrying toward the living room and she straightened her clothes.
"Lily darling" her mother said as she came into view.
"Hi mum" she replied and went to give her mother a hug and a kiss. "Sorry I'm late mum, I got caught up with my writing and I totally forgot the time and I'm so sorry".
"That's ok darling, no harm done" her mother smiled and led her daughter further into the house.
"Who else is coming for lunch?" she asked her mother.
"Well James is on tour again as he would have told you and Albus is in Scotland on training so that just leaves us, your father and Sirius".
"Oh is Sirius home?" she asked her mother looking puzzled.
"Yes of course he's home, it's the summer, he's back for the holidays. He only starts sixth year in September. Why? Where else would he be?" her mother replied sweetly.
"Oh right, erm nowhere. How's he doing by the way?" she asked her mother.
"He's fine but I'm a little worried about my baby boy because he's been under a lot of pressure" Ginny said a little dramatically.
"Pressure? Pressure? What do you mean by Sirius being under a lot of pressure? Mum he's top in the school academically, he's prefect, he's beater for the Gryffindor quidditch team! Plus I've lost track of the number of girlfriends he's had to date! What pressure does he have?" she asked incredulously.
"I mean I feel like he's under a lot of stress, you know to be like your brothers and you?" Ginny replied.
"Anyway where is he now? I can't believe that he's be starting the sixth year" Lily mused.
"Well Sirius is in his room as usual and your father is in his study. Why don't you go and call him and tell him that lunch is ready, he'll be thrilled to see you" she said.
Lily walked upstairs to her father's study and sighed. It was as if she was a little girl. She used to go into her father's study all the time, sometimes not to do anything at all. She just loved being in her father's presence and she just loved staying there while her father did his work. She knocked on the door and waited for him to say something.
"Come in" she heard her father's soothing voice call.
"Hi dad, it's me" she said and went into the study.
It was just how she remembered it, cozy and messy with books all over and a fireplace by the corner and pictures of the family all over the room. They were in frames that hung all over the wall and stood on the desk.
"Lily! Hello darling! I've missed you so much" he said and peered at her through his round framed spectacles.
"Dad, I was here two weeks ago" she said as he hugged her tightly.
"I know darling but you know, I can never see enough of my baby girl" he replied and smiled at her.
"Oh daddy" she said and walked over to the middle of the room. "Wow this place hasn't changed much has it?" she asked.
"No, not a bit. It is still the same from when you used to come here as a kid" he said looking fondly around the room. "You know you used to come in here all the time and you would bring your little stuffed dragon and you used to sit right there on that couch and just watch me with those beautiful brown eyes of yours".
"Daddy you're getting mushy, and besides back then I was small and looking back it was so weird that I used to do that" she replied laughing.
"I didn't think it was weird" her father said lovingly "in fact I found it adorable. You were always coming to see if I wanted anything, if I was hungry. Sometimes you would sit on my lap and wait for me to finish my work. You were my little Lily" he said and put his arm around her shoulder. "You were my baby girl" he said.
"I'm not a baby anymore and I'm not little Lily anymore either daddy" she replied.
"You will always be my baby little Lily" he said and kissed her forehead.
"Oh daddy" she laughed "And I totally forgot the whole reason why I came up here, mum told me to tell you that lunch is ready and she wants you to come down".
"Ooh lunch" her father said looking excitedly "we'd better go before your mother gets annoyed".
Harry put his arm around his daughter and led her downstairs where Sirius and Ginny were waiting.
"There they are" Ginny remarked as she spied her only daughter and her husband coming down the stairs.
"How lovely" Sirius said dryly.
"Oh hush Sirius; shouldn't you be excited that your sister is here?" Ginny asked her young son while setting the table.
"Oh yes, simply delighted" Sirius said, his voice oozing sarcasm.
"Nice to see you too retard" Lily remarked.
"This looks fabulous darling" Harry remarked to Ginny, kissing her soundly on the lips.
"Now let's sit down to eat" Ginny said and they sat down to eat.
Lily looked at the spread of food on the table and smiled as their old house elf Kreacher laid down the pot of soup on the table.
"Hello Kreacher, how are you?" Lily asked smiling at the elf.
"Good Afternoon mistress Lily, Kreacher is very well thank you" the old house elf replied and ladled the soup into the bowls.
"That's great Kreacher, this food looks lovely. Thank you for helping mum with the cooking" she replied pleasantly.
"It is no problem mistress Lily, it is always a pleasure" the elf replied looking subtly fond of the red headed young woman.
Lily was enjoying the lovely meal before her and she felt like she was a child again. It was good to be home even for the short time, or so she thought.
"Lily, actually your father and I have something to ask you" Ginny said looking at Harry.
"We do?" Harry asked looking slightly bewildered then upon seeing the look on Ginny's face Harry cleared his throat "oh yes we do have something to ask you".
"Your father and I were wondering if you are free this Sunday, we'd like you to attend a function with your father, myself and Sirius" her mother replied and Sirius spat out his soup earning a dirty look from his father.
"I'm coming?" he asked looking slightly aghast.
"Yes" replied his mother a little shrilly.
"I think I'm free" she replied and shrugged her shoulders.
"Oh that's set then, now we'll all go dress and robe shopping on Friday because your father is free on that day" Ginny remarked.
Harry nodded and busied himself with his roast chicken. "Dress shopping?" asked Lily looking slightly worried "why? Is it that big of a function?" she asked.
"Yes" replied Sirius gleefully "it's the annual ministry gala and the whole family is invited".
"What?" Lily exclaimed and dropped her fork "you tricked me! You didn't tell me it was a ministry gala! You know I hate them".
"Oh hush Lily, it's not that bad" her mother replied.
"Mum the last ministry ball I went for, I was tripped by Mitchell Longbottom and I fell backwards onto the buffet table and everyone saw my underwear!"
"So I guess Mitchell as your date for this ministry ball is out of the question" her mother mused and Lily shot her a murderous glare. "Oh darling, you're exaggerating".
"Yes darling" her father supplied "please come, for me?"
"Oh alright" she replied looking defeated "I'll come, but only for you daddy because I love you so much".
"That's my girl" Harry said lovingly.
"Alright!" Sirius exclaimed "if I suffer, she suffers too!"
"Sirius" his father warned.
Sirius looked gloomily at his mashed potatoes and Lily smirked at him. She truly was her father's girl. But for some reason, knowing that her brother would be there at the gala suffering alongside her didn't really cheer her up. It was going to be a long couple of days.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Scorpius arrived home at about seven and handed his coat to Doner, their house elf.
"Hello Doner" he whispered, not wanting his parents to hear him interacting with the house elf.
"Hello Master it is good to see you home" the elf whispered back.
"Yes I'm sorry I haven't been home in a few days, I've been sleeping in my office" Scorpius replied "by the way where are mother and father?"
"Master and Mistress is in the dining hall with the guests" he said and scampered away as he heard footsteps approach.
Scorpius stood emotionlessly and then when he saw his mother's haughty face come into view he smiled.
"Scorpius darling" she exclaimed loudly and kissed him on each cheek. "Come your father is waiting for us in the dining hall with our guests" she replied and steered him towards the dining hall.
"Guests?" he asked stupidly.
"Yes guests darling" she snapped "now do close your mouth Scorpius, it's very unbecoming".
His father was waiting at the entrance to the dining hall and when he saw him he exclaimed "Ah, Scorpius my son!"
"Hello father" he replied emotionlessly.
"Come and meet our guests" his father replied and Scorpius noticed three other people in the room.
"You remember the Flints, Marcus and Millicent?" Draco asked his son.
"Yes father I do" he replied and then turned to the Flints. "How do you do sir?" he said shaking Marcus's hand and then kissed Millicent's hand.
"And this lovely young woman here is their daughter Melody" Draco announced.
Scorpius looked at the young woman in front of him. She had long dark brown hair and blue eyes. She was of course beautiful by any man's standards but Scorpius wasn't interested but he was too tired to care about anything and he just wanted to get the dinner over and done with. He was fairly sure that the only reason his parents were setting him up with Melody today and on Sunday was so that he would marry her. It was Malfoy Tradition to marry young.
"Hello" she said batting her eyelashes at Scorpius.
He smiled politely "Hello Melody, you're looking beautiful" he said flatly and kissed her hand as he had done with her mother.
"Oh you're too kind" she giggled.
Scorpius smiled politely once again, he had been raised by his parents to be well mannered at all times. His father was looking at him with an expression of mild delight which meant that his father was incredibly pleased with the way that Scorpius was behaving towards Melody.
Pansy and Draco had insisted that Scorpius should sit next to Melody during dinner and Scorpius tried his best to avoid talking to her and only spoke when he was spoken to. He was so preoccupied with the De Winters case and he was physically exhausted. He just wanted to go up to his room and sleep. He had had a long day.
"So Scorpius" Melody purred "what do you do for a living?"
"I'm a Wizarding Law prosecutor and I specialize in prosecution of murder cases and compensation cases" he replied and busied himself with his lamb.
"Oh how interesting" she replied and he nodded placing a piece of lamb in his mouth and chewing it thoughtfully.
As he was chewing, he felt something slide up his thigh and nearly spat out his lamb piece but instead he tried to swallow it and it resulted in him choking. Draco looked worriedly as his son began choking violently and rushed over and patted him on the back. He then handed Scorpius his goblet of water. Scorpius took a hearty swig and after a while he felt the piece slide down.
"That's it you're alright" Draco replied as his son took great heaving breaths, surprising everyone especially Scorpius.
"Thank you father" Scorpius said as Draco went back to his seat. Draco nodded in reply.
From her seat, Pansy was glaring angrily at Scorpius as if to say "how dare you choke during my dinner" and beside him Melody was smiling coyly.
"Well that was an interesting reaction" she whispered.
"Father" Scorpius called turning to his father "may I please be excused; I'm not feeling so good".
"Yes, you're not ill are you Scorpius?" his father inquired over the table.
"No I'm ill father, I just don't feel so good but I'm sure after some rest I'll be fine" he replied.
"Yes son go ahead" he replied and Pansy looked aghast.
"Good night Mr. and Mrs. Flint it was lovely to see you and Melody I shall see you on Sunday" he said and kissed Melody's hand.
He then walked over to his father and mother "Good night father" Scorpius said and Draco nodded. "Good night mother" he said and kissed his mother's cheek.
He then walked up to his room, dragging his feet as he went. When he opened his room door he was met with a very comforting sight. Doner had cleaned his room and his bed looked very inviting. He took off his shoes and cloak and flopped onto his bed and before he knew it he was fast asleep.

It was a relatively cool Friday afternoon and Ginny, Lily, Sirius and Harry were at Madam Malkins dress shopping for Lily and Ginny and robes shopping for Harry and Sirius.
"Mum" Lily wailed "why can't I just wear that dress that I wore the last time".
"No" Ginny said firmly and Sirius and Harry looked tortured "we will find a dress for you" she added with great determination.
"But mum, we've been here for three hours and we've tried on 34 dresses and you, dad and Sirius have already got your outfits" Lily wailed.
"Yes darling" Harry added to Ginny "can't she wear the dress she first tried on?"
"Harry James Potter" Ginny growled "if you suggest that our daughter wear that ridiculous outfit one more time, you will be sleeping on the couch!"
Harry gulped and shrunk back into the shadows.
"Yeah great going dad now we're going to be here for another three hours" Sirius hissed.
"Well why don't you do something then?" Harry hissed back.
"Ok dad, watch the master at work" Sirius replied and went over to his mother who was instructing Lily to put on another dress.
"Mum why don't we"-
"Sirius Ronald Potter if you suggest anything I will take away your allowance and I will burn that beloved broom of yours into ash, so unless you make yourself useful, don't say a word!"
Sirius slunk back next to his father. "That was very helpful" his father whispered.
"Shut up dad" Sirius replied gloomily "now we're doomed".
"Unless we help your sister find a dress, there's no escaping this" Harry replied.
"I'm not doing that" Sirius replied looking mortified "it'll ruin my reputation. Just imagine what people will say when they see me cross the street. They'll say oh look there's Sirius Potter, the pansy boy who helps his sister pick out dresses" he snapped at his father.
"Well we don't have time to worry about your reputation, we're going to be here forever if we don't find your sister a dress" Harry snapped back.
"You're right dad, screw the reputation" he said and be began to frantically search the racks for dresses. "Don't just stand there dad, help me".
"I'm helping, I'm helping" his father replied and began to help.
After a few minutes of searching Harry and Sirius had come up with a pile of dresses.
"How about this one love" Harry asked Lily and Ginny placing a dress in Ginny's arms.
"Or this one" Sirius replied.
"Or this one"
"And this one"
"Or what about this one"
"This one looks nice, it has tassels"
"Oh this one has tassels and sequins"
"Nice choice dad that could work".
"ENOUGH!" cried Ginny and Sirius and Harry stopped talking. She threw the dresses that the two of them had piled into her arms, to one side.
She sighed and walked over to a rack and picked up a forest green dress with gold trimmings and handed it to Lily. Meanwhile Harry and Sirius stood in a corner and crossed their fingers, hoping for the best.
Lily came out of the dressing room dressed in the green dress robes that her mother had picked out for her. Even Sirius looked impressed.
"You look beautiful honey" Harry replied nodding.
"Yeah that looks hot" Sirius added.
"Yes we'll take that one" Ginny said and even Madam Malkin looked relieved.
"Oh mum I have to go now; I'm supposed to pick up Rose's birthday present. I'll meet you all back at the house?" Lily said and she headed in the direction of Flourish and Blotts.
She was making her way briskly to get Rose's present when she collided with something solid.
"Ow" she said as she landed sprawled on the concrete.
"I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going" a male voice said and a hand reached out to help her up.
"That's ok" she said as he helped her up "I'm fi"- she trailed off as she noticed the man before her.
It was the same guy she had bumped into before. It was the guy with the fine blond hair and stormy grey eyes.
"Oh hi there" he said smiling at her "I believe this is the second time we've bumped into teach other and that you've ended up sprawled on the floor".
"Yeah I guess. How embarrassing" she said and laughed.
"Anyway I'm sorry again" the guy said and then smiled at her and they went their separate ways.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Scorpius looked bored as he watched his mother model her various outfits for him.
"How about this one Scorpius darling?" she asked.
"Yes mother" that one looks nice.
"Alright we'll take that one" Pansy told Romero, the owner of the shop.
Draco stood looking around at the different suits and ties.
"Here Scorpius, try this one" he said and handed the silvery grey jacket, black pants, black shirt and grey bow tie to his son.
