As much as Rose was her favourite cousin, she was jealous of her, she still loved her but it wasn't fair! Rose was perfect, she was pretty, smart, funny and she was in the same year as Scorpius Malfoy. Lily wasn't depressed or self-conscious she just wanted to be known for more than being the Chosen One's daughter, she wanted to be known for who she was not for who her father was. Rose wasn't known as the brightest with of her age's daughter, she was just Rose Weasley, the smart and hilarious person whereas Lily was just known as the Chosen One's daughter.
Rose also happened to be in the same class as Scorpius Malfoy, Scorpius and Rose were going out and no matter how much Lily wished she didn't, she had a small crush on Scorpius, just a small one! But it drove her crazy because she knew he wouldn't look twice at her. The worst part was, she knew Rose didn't truly love Scorpius, Rose just thought of him as a friend but didn't want to hurt him by breaking up with him! She didn't appreciate the fact that she had Scorpius as a boyfriend, the Scorpius Malfoy! He was known throughout Hogwarts, almost more well-known than Merlin himself. Lily was sat in her room wallowing in self-pity until her Mum knocked on her door.
"Lily, someone is here to see you."
"Who is it?" obviously she was curious, it was the day before Hogwarts started so who would visit her now?
"Malfoy's son," her Mum said rather stiffly, Lily knew the history between the Malfoys and her family but that made Scorpius seem even more interesting, like the Muggle book they read in Muggle Studies "Romeo and Juliet". Wait. He came to see her? HER?
Scorpius Malfoy had come to see Lily Luna Potter?
Well that was new but intriguing all the same so she made her way downstairs but it was only until after she reached the last step that she realised she probably looked a mess.
Before she could do anything she heard a voice "Lily! Hey" Scorpius stood smiling warmly.
Lily froze for a second but as soon as she saw his smile she felt reassured and his eyes made her calm.
"Hey Scorpius, did you want something?"
"I just wanted to speak to you."
"Why?"
"Didn't Rose tell you?" he asked obviously quite shocked.
"No... What happened? Is she okay?"
"She's fine, better than fine actually," he said running his hand through his blond hair, "we actually broke up a few weeks ago."
This was just too much for Lily, firstly Scorpius Malfoy was in her house, talking to HER and he was single?
"Are you okay? You look a bit dizzy."
"I'm great, thanks, so you were saying you wanted to speak to me?"
"Er, yeah… Well the thing is, me and Rose broke off because we had feelings for other people and well I was just wondering if maybe you would want to go out with me sometime?"
Lily's heart just exploded, she wanted to kiss him then and there but she shrugged off the feeling, she didn't want to be the rebound girl.
"You are not the rebound girl," he said as if reading her mind, "me and Rose, we just weren't right for each other but neither wanted to break it off, so what do you say?" he grinned.
"I'd love to," she smiled.
"Great!" he shouted, "That was too loud wasn't it?"
"Just a tad," she giggled.
"I'll see you tomorrow at the platform then?"
"I look forward to it," she winked.
"I better get going then, my dad wants to talk to me about something 'important'."
"Bye."
He paused for a second before kissing her on the cheek, they met each other's eyes and both blushed.
"Bye Lily," he whispered before leaving.
