Hey there Delilah

Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
that none of them have felt this way.

You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you.

Oh it's what you do to me.

Albus' best friend Delilah has caught the eye of pretty much, every guy in Hogwarts over the years. 'Her looks are a gift,' is something she was always told when she was younger and now they have caught the eye of Albus' older brother James. This could be fun…

Chapter One

I'll be there for you

No one could ever know me; no one could ever see me.
Seems like you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me.
Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with,
Someone I'll always laugh with, even at my worst, I'm best with you.

Her eyes glistened as she walked through the hall over to her usual seat at lunch, next to Scorpius Malfoy and Albus Potter. It was like a daily ritual for the three to sit together for lunch. They were after all, best friends. As she walked through to her seat, she set most boys throughout the other tables into a trance from her graceful walk past them. She made hearts melt.

She went by the name Scarlet, even though her forename is Delilah, she never liked her name so she uses her middle name. Delilah Scarlet Teale; pronounced teal, she is a Ravenclaw yet her best friends are both slytherin. She has both beauty and intelligence which is rare in a person's character. Her eyes were piercing, the blue shimmered and shinned every time she smiled or was happy. If looks could kill her eyes would go straight through you. She has long blonde hair that was choppy and bounced when- ever she walked and a fringe that made her eyes stand out even more. She wore little make-up, just the general mascara and red berry lip gloss. She was a half-veela after all, she doesn't need make-up. Being a veela she charms men like they are babies wanting a hug. But believe me, she can get angry.

'Hey boy's, what's new then?' she said once she finally approached the table and sat in her seat next to Albus. He grinned turning to Scorp. They both started laughing. 'What? Have I got something one my face? Oh, come on or I'm leaving!' She said, giving them the, oh so famous puppy dog eyes.

'It's nothing Scar, honest. Just our friend scorp here has got himself a crush.' Scorpius kicked Albus under the table as he saw a glint in Scarlet's eyes appear.

'Oh, do tell me who Al.' Point blankly directing Albus to tell her who, knowing Scorpius won't tell her, himself. Al smirked towards Scorpius.

'She is a cousin of mine.' Al gave her to go by. That's a lot of cousins she thought to herself as she pondered which one Scorpius could of possibly fell for.

'Dom?' Al just shook his head, she sighed. 'Roxie?'

'Really, come on. You should know me better then that Scar.' Scorpius groaned at her. Albus hit him upside the head.

'That's my cousin, dipshit.'

'Ow, I know dude but Roxie and I. Nahh, I just don't see it.' Was Scorpius' reply. Albus just rolled his eyes at him.

'Okay, moving on my handsome friends. Who is this lucky girl now? Or is it a girl, have I got this all wrong? Eww Scorp, please don't tell me you have a thing for Freddie. Now that would give me nightmares.' She watched as Scorpius' eyes widened, if he had a drink it most defiantly would have gone all over her then. Albus on the other hand just cracked up at the serious of Scarlet's face. 'I'm serious guys. You know I will be there for you Scorp. No matter what your sexuality is.' His mouth was gapped open as he stared at he in shock.

"No, no. Scar sweetie, I'm not gay. I have a crush on Rose not Fred; I am most definitely not gay.' He rested his hand on her arm as if he was comforting her or letting her down in some sort of way.

'Well that's a shame, I could of got fashion advise out of you. The perfect best male friend, do you not think? Albus, you don't have a girlfriend do you? You could be gay you know and then you will be able to tell me what the jeans I brought the other day will look nice with. It's nothing to be ashamed of.' Now it was Al's turn to stare in shock but this time he did have a drink and it went all over Scorpius.

'What the hell man, she said it not me!'

'Yes well, I'm prettier then you so ha.' Was Scarlet's reply as she stuck her tongue out, childishly at Scorpius.

'No, Scar. Look bunny, Scorpius isn't gay, yeah. And me, I'm most defiantly not gay Scar. Got that. And your meant to be the intelligent one.'

'What is that supposed to mean?' She asked, face going slightly red.

'Nothing babe, nothing. Forgive me.' Albus' reply made Scorpius laugh but hide it with a very noticeable cough, leading to Al chucking some left over peas at him. Scarlet on the other hand groaned and kissed Al's cheek.

'Forgiven but stop calling me bunny!' She said as she got up after finishing her lunch. 'I'll see you both later, I have potions to get to.' She smiled as she fled out the great hall to head to class like most other students in the room.

'I suppose we best be getting to transfig.' Albus mumbled as they both watched Scarlet go. 'How does she do that?

'She's a veela, she snapped her fingers, every guy in this room would go running.'
