The Perfect Storm, a harry potter fanfic

The storms

She's alway them

The way they t~w~i~s~t

And

T R

U N

And do the same to

Anything {everything}

In their path..

So when she saw him

Eyes as grey as the clouds that

hov

ered

above n|i|n|e|and|t|h|r|e|e|q|u|a|r|t|e|r|s on that

drearydismalday

she wanted him.

Not in a hotheavyintimate way

Goodness no

{not at first anyway but s h h h about that for now}

As a friend

{A personal storm she could keep by her side}

Or at least s o m e o n e to talk to

There was only one problem…

She's Lily Luna Potter

She can't fraternize with the enemy.

"AMalfoyisstrictlyoutofbounds."

Even four l o ng years later

When Scorp is her bestfriend

Her confidant

Her companion

Her soulmate

{But he doesn't know that yet.}

Her father is still cautious

Her mother still w a r y

Her uncle still bitter as the coffee he d~r~i~n~k~s

Her auntie still berates them all, and tells them to grow UPUPUP.

But they've got nothing to worry about, because Scorp..

He's o/b/l/i/v/i/o/u/s to all things love.

Well, he was until Rose came along.

Rose with her l-o—n—g reddestred hair

And her deep bluestblue eyes

And her ohsoverywittycomments

Which only |her| and |Scorp| get

Because they're as brainy as brainy goes

And a littlelovingLily could nevereverever rival a redredRose.

So little Lily

run

run's away.

Retreats into herself

Takes after her namesake

and

FLIES {notflees}

with the nargles.

It takes about a week

For Scorpius to notice that

his Lily

is wilting

D~r~oo~p~i~n~g

DEAD

Before his very eyes.

He's concerned o!f!c!o!u!r!s!e

But he's

Let's go to the lake, Scor!

Don't forget we have a study date.

Come down to Hogsmeade for a meal with my parents?

Scorpius, there's a party tonight in the common room, want to come?

Meet me tonight at 11pm, Rose x

Scor, when can I meet your parents?

Ugh, I can't get this potion right! Can you help me at lunch?

My parents want you round in the Holidays, isn't that great?!

Come stay over for Easter, we've got a spare room!

Scorpius… I… I think I love you..

So Little Lily Luna goe for a while.

Her head in the

clouds

and feet wondering

freely

And Scorpius is nowhere to be seen.

At least until Rose says

she thinks

he should speak to her

Because she's been " o f f " for a while now

So he does, because he's been meaning to.

He hunts down Lily and they sit and

For hours and hours on end

Just talk talk talk talk

On and on and on

And on and

And only then does he realize how much he's missed her

Her hazel eyes and auburn ~~~~hair and

the f.r.e.c.k.l.e.s that spatter her

s e

The way she

(-S-M-I-L-E-S-)

when she see's him

And how her chin rests on his shoulder perfectly when she {hugs} him

Her la(haha!)ugh when he makes up his own jokes about somethingorother

And the way she always gives him her

Und-i-v-i-d-e-d attention

And makes him feel so very l-o-v-e-dloved

The way she always has

Ever since she first got sorted into Ssssssslytherin

And she d e l i b e r a t e l y sat next to him

And said 'Let's be friends'

And Lily always got what she wanted

{But not this time, the only time it really counts. Not that he knows that yet, either.}

But when he [finally] goes back to Rose something isn't right..

After a few d a y s he's bored of the ohsocleverwittiness

And wants to talk about Quidditch and silly things like

*s,t,a,r,s*

and

myths & legends

But Rose doesn't like QUIDDITCH

Or Astronomy~

Or ANCIENTmythology

That's Lily

After a few w;e;e;k;s instead of red

And blue

And clear, milky skin

And a

with whitewhiteteeth all perfect and s|t|r|a|i|g|h|t

When he opens his eyes he's wIshIng he'd see auburn

And hazel

And freckles

And a

with a few crookedteeth…

And that's Lily

And after a month he's realizing that he's

picked the wrong flower

That Roses, while beautiful,

have thorns that can't be cuttt{snip snip}

And then he

ends it

And she

knows.

Sheknows

it was always

And then Lily's finding out that Roses have t-h-o-r-n-s too

When said t/h/o/r/n/s come

down

on her in the mid|dle of lunch

In the form of fists

And hexes

And jinxes

And a SCREAMING

raging

Heartb-b—b-b-b-roken red head

yelling

"It's always, always been you!"

And then Lily

knows

that her

perfectstorm's come home

And she

GRINS

{despite the black eye she's received}

And she runs past the wiltingrose to her dorm

and grabs the m a p

The map full of names

And secret hallways

And {secret}lovers

And taptaptapping foot s

She looks for onename and finds him by the lake~~

And she's running

Faster and faster

Flitting past people who stop and stare

Because the lily isn't wilting anymore

It's alive

And blooming

And thriving again

And all too soon she's stood on the shore

staring at the back of the boy she loves

and she's sosososnervous

becausewhat if Rose was lying?

what if he's changed his mind?

W h a t i f-

And he's

TURNING&

GRINNING

Despite the fact nursing a blackeye

{But it's okay because she has one to match}

And all what if's vanish

Becauseneither of them has to say a word and they both know it

They both know they've got eachotherback.

N o questions asked.

And it's like magic

As silly

&cliché* as it sounds

It's the most magical thing they've ever experienced

It trumps seeing the castle for the first time

Or the first ride on the Hogwarts Expresss s s

Or the feeling when you hold your wand in

O l l i v a n d e r s

for the veryfirst time..

It's something indescribable,

so they don't try to

explain it.

They simply l i v eit.

Thank you sososososososo much for reading this. It's been my baby. I'm absolutely in love with it.
