Lily Potter walked with her siblings and cousins towards to the barrier. She was now in her 4th year. She was so like her mother, with her slender limbs and silky red hair. Fred and Roxanne ran through first, then Molly and Lucy, Dominique and Rose, Hugo, Louis and Albus and finally James and Lily. Their parents were lagging behind somewhere. Hugo, Molly, Fred and Roxanne were also in their 4th year, Louis and Molly were in their 3rd, Dominique, Rose and Albus were in their 6th year and James was in his 7th and final year. All the Potters and Weasleys were in Gryffindor. They bade their parents goodbye and boarded the train. James went off to find his friends and Louis and Molly did likewise. Hugo, Fred, Roxanne and Molly went to find their own carriage. Lily stayed with the others, she was the most mature, Hugo was a bit soppy, Fred and Roxanne would set off some fireworks or something, they got free merchandise from Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes and Molly…. well she was exactly like her father. So Rose, Albus and Dominique didn't mind her tagging along. The boys stared as Dominique and Lily walked past. They had both inherited their mothers good looks. Rose was quite plain looking and Albus was still growing into himself. Dominique stuck her finger up at them and they went away. They found a carriage and sat in it, Rose and Albus on one side and Dominique and Lily on the other.

"So," said Rose, "Have you guys began studying?"

"WHAT!" Albus, Dominique and Lily exclaimed. Rose laughed.

"I'm joking! Not even I'm that bad…"

"I wouldn't be so sure" said a voice from the door. The four of them turned and Scorpius Malfoy was standing in the doorway.

"What do you want?" asked Lily.

"Manners…" said Scorpius in a drawling voice.

"Sod off Malfoy." said Albus. Malfoy glared at them.

"I'd be careful if I were you, you can't avoid me forever, I'll get you-"

Lily got up,

"Unless you want your head through that window, I suggest you leave right now." she said narrowing her eyes at him. Scorpius sniffed, turned on his heel and left.

"Nice one Lily" grinned Dominique.

"Thanks Dom" Lily replied and she sat back down. They played a few games of exploding snap. After half an hour, Lily got up to use the toilet. She was walking along the corridor when someone grabbed her wrist and dragged her into an empty carriage. It was pitch black and she couldn't see who was holding her. Whoever it was leaned in and kissed her. After a while they pushed her onto the floor and bolted before she could see their identity. Lily picked herself up and went back to the carriage, dazed.

"Whats wrong Lily?" Rose asked. Lily blinked.

"Huh?"

"She asked what was wrong" said Albus.

"I'm fine." said Lily. Dominique looked at her.

"Lily can you come outside with me a second." she said. "Now." she added as Lily hesitated. Lily got up and followed her out into the corridor.

"So who was it?" asked Dominique, "I know that expression, you've just kissed someone."

"I don't know!" whispered Lily, "That's the problem.."

She told Dominique what had happened to her. Dominique smiled.

"Looks like someone's got an admirer!" she giggled.

"Don't tell anyone Dom. Please!" begged Lily.

"I won't!"

They went back into the carriage.

"What was that all about?" asked Albus.

"Girls' stuff." Lily replied quickly. Albus grimaced in a joke way. Lily laughed, but all through the journey her mind was on her "admirer". Who could it've been? Why would they want their identity to be secret? The train pulled to a halt. They changed into their robes quickly. Lily lost her wand so searched for it, while the others got off the train. She found her wand and got off as well. Scorpius Malfoy was in front of her. She barged past him and walked on.

"Your back is covered in dust and dirt." said Scorpius.

"Thank you for pointing it out." Lily said dryly and continued walking.

"Your elbow is bleeding."

"So it is."

"Your shoelace is undone."

Lily turned to yell at Scorpius, but he was right behind her. She looked at him.

"You didn't get hurt when you fell over?" he asked.

"No- wait. How did you know I fell over?" she asked.

"I…" he began, but ran off before he finished. Lily sighed. Then smiled. Scorpius Malfoy fancied her! Of course she was used to people fancying her, firstly, she was Harry Potter's daughter and secondly, she was gorgeous. But Scorpius Malfoy of all people? He was the boy who she'd always had a slight crush on. He was good looking and was probably nice under all that snobbishness. She arrived at the carriages and one was left behind. She got in and Scorpius was in there sulking.

"It wouldn't go, it must've known you were still here. Look I'm sorry-"

"No need to apologise." smiled Lily.

"I've liked you for a while Lily. I mean your brothers are total nob heads and some of your cousins are a bit weird, apart from the Veela fit one-" Scorpius gabbled.

"Scorpius."

"Yes?" he asked nervously.

"Stop talking. It's okay. I like you to." she smiled again. Wow thought Scorpius, Lily Potter likes me. The cart lurched and Scorpius fell onto Lily. He opened his moth to speak.

"Stop apologising." said Lily, "It's okay."

"Lily?" said Scorpius picking himself up.

"Yes?"

"Will you go out with me?"

"Yes!" Lily exclaimed and threw her arms around him.

"You've acted like I asked you to marry me!" said Scorpius, but he was grinning too. He hugged her back and kissed her on the lips. The carriage pulled to a halt and Lily and Scorpius broke apart.

"Don't tell anyone." said Lily, "Or you'll have 10 people trying to kill you…. I'll meet you tomorrow morning."

Scorpius laughed. Lily kissed him on the cheek and ran inside. She ran towards the Gryffindor table and sat down between Roxanne and Dominique.

"What took you so long?" asked Roxanne.

"Oh. The carriage was late." said Lily quickly. They ate their dinner and went off to the Gryffindor common room. Lily went with Roxanne and Molly to their dorm. Jasmine Lowe-Hewtette and Belle Saunders were already in there.

"Hi guys." Belle said.

"How's your summer been?" asked Jasmine.

They discussed their summers as they got ready for bed. The others fell asleep, but Lily got back up and crept into the common room. Dominique was still there, as she always was, flicking through Witch Weekly.

"Hello Lily." she said.

"I want to tell you something. But you cannot tell anyone else. And don't kill me when I tell you."

"Okay." said Dominique, "Is it anything to do with your mystery snogger?"

"Yes." admitted Lily, "I'mgoingoutwithScopiusMalfoy."

"WHAT!" exclaimed Dominique. Lily shushed her, "How?"

"It sort of happened. He was the one who kissed me and I said I liked him back and he asked me out…"

"Wow." breathed Dominique.

"You cannot tell anyone!" hissed Lily. Dominique crossed her heart. They both went upstairs to the dorms. Albus got up from behind the couch and grabbed his bag that the two girls hadn't noticed. He fumbled around inside it and found his two way mirror.

"James Sirius Potter!" he shouted to mirror, as loudly as he dared. He waited 5 minutes before James' sleepy face appeared.

"What?" he grumbled, yawning.

"Get your arse down here right now." said Albus. "We have a problem."
