AUTHORS NOTE: Ok, this is my second fanfic, my first was a disaster so I hope this one will be better, I have big ideas for it. I am a definite Lily/Scorpius shipper. Please review, I would love to hear what people think about my story. I tried really hard to find all convention mishaps but forgive me if I miss a few.
I, Lily Potter jumped on to the platform. I had spent a lot of extra time on my appearance today. My black hair fluttered down my back, I had straightened it till it was dead straight, my bangs curled perfectly over my forehead. My light green eyes thickly fringed by ebony lashes. My small nose aimed for the heavens. My somewhat tan skin littered by freckles. My blood red lips guarded my straight white teeth. My dimples deeply placed in my cheeks. I stood at a tiny four feet eleven inches. I was wearing a white t-shirt with a graphic design on it that hugged my torso nicely, skinny dark wash jeans, black converse, a checkered wristband and a thin silver necklace with a tiny silver heart on it that lay tucked under my shirt.
My older brothers Albus followed after. For a boy Albus was relatively handsome. His black hair messy, his bright green eyes just like my father's, thin pink lips, flawless pale skin, a rather square jaw line and high cheekbones. He would recently acquired contacts so he no longer wears glasses. He was lankier than our brother James but still not quite skinny. He stood at a tall six feet. He was wearing Jeans and a loose black t-shirt.
James followed after. He looked incredibly a lot like our uncle George had (when he had both ears) when he was nineteen. He was six feet 1 inch tall. He was wearing a white shirt, grey trousers, and black dress shoes. He was very dressed up but he wouldn't tell me why.
Teddy came last.
"Hey listen you two know that your parents are sorry they couldn't drop you off today right?" twenty year old Teddy asked.
Albus and I nodded meekly. Albus was going into his seventh year I was entering my fifth. James had graduated the previous year. Our parents Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley couldn't drop us because they had secretive "auror" business to attend to.
Teddy wrapped a protective arm around my shoulders. And whispered in my ear "Your dad let me have this when I first entered Hogwarts, I want you to have it." he slipped a parcel into my pocket.
I beamed at him and kissed his unshaven cheek. "Thanks," I whispered.
Teddy ruffled my ebony hair. "Anything for my little flower," he whispered. I loved the way he said my little flower.
I giggled. I had unfortunately developed a crush on Teddy, one I was trying to desperately to get rid of. Only my best friends/cousins Dominique and Hugo Weasley knew of my secret crush.
I mean how could I not have a crush on Teddy. He was incredibly handsome with his turquoise hair, manly jaw line, deep brown eyes, muscular body, and dazzling smile. Teddy was taller than both my brothers at a nice six foot two.
"You be careful ok?" James warned me.
"I will," I mumbled to my overly protective brother.
"You too," James said threateningly to Albus.
"Shut up you git," Albus groaned.
Teddy and I snickered as Albus and James started arguing.
"Things are definitely changing," Teddy murmured suddenly.
"What?" I asked perplexed.
"Everything is just changing, I mean look at you little flower, all grown up," he said, as if trying to cover something up, I let it go.
"I'm only fifteen," I grumbled.
"I know, I just remember picking up a tiny nine year old girl and wiping away her tears when ever her brothers teased her," Teddy mumbled pulling me into a hug.
I sighed and nestled into his chest.
"When you put it that way things really have changed, now I just kick their arses every time they tease me," I murmured.
Teddy laughed and said "That you do."
I pulled out of his embrace to see Dominique and her little brother Louis heading down the platform escorted by their older sister Vicky.
Vicky was unbelievably gorgeous with her amazing curves, lovely blue eyes, long blonde hair, flawless skin, and other beautiful qualities.
Dominique looked a lot like Vicky just with her blonde hair cut short in a pixie cut, a much flatter chest, and less full lips.
Louis had the same blonde hair, a baby like roundness to his eleven year old face, and startling blue eyes.
"Dom!" I shrieked as I ran to greet her.
"Lils!" she giggled as she caught me up in a hug.
I turned and gave Vicky a hug, she was like the big sister I always wanted.
Her face was a mask of worry and it made me uneasy.
Louis tugged on my arm and asked "What about me?"
I laughed and gave him a hug. Louis even though he was eleven was an inch taller than me.
Dom was wearing black skinny jeans, white converse with black laces, a black t-shirt, and a wristband matching mine. Vicky wore a pretty floral dress, which was weird because I generally saw her in sweatpants. Louis wore jeans and a t-shirt.
"Hello Girls, Louis," Teddy greeted casually.
"Hi," the three said in unison.
"Well I have to go Dom, take care of your brother," Vicky said, hugged them both waved to the rest of us and hurried away. I glanced at Dom confusedly, she just shrugged.
"Flower James and I better go to," Teddy said looking at his watch.
I frowned and looked at my shoes.
"Aww don't look so sad we will see you soon, promise," Teddy said pulling me into a bone crushing hug.
I sighed and said "Bye."
Teddy kissed my forehead, hugged Albus goodbye, ruffled Louis and Dom's hair then left.
James swooped down and kissed my cheek, patted Albus on the shoulder, then hurried after Teddy.
The four of us chatted as we headed down the platform. On our way spotted out red headed twin cousins Molly and Lucy and our other cousin Fred hanging out with his friends.
Out of my corner of my eye I noticed an extremely tall blonde boy getting thoroughly scolded by his blonde regal looking father. I couldn't see his face but by the angle of his neck I could see he was staring at the floor. 'Hmmm… nice arse," I thought looking at his rear.
Then we boarded the train. Louis found some of his little friends and ran off with them. Albus, Dom and I headed down to our compartment. We had figuratively claimed the compartment, I had rode in that compartment back and forth since my first year. Usually most of the Weasley/ Potters sat in it. In our compartment waited Rose and Hugo.
Hugo looked a lot like his father did, just with auburn hair, and no freckles. He was giantly tall, and lanky. Rose looked like her mum, just bushy red hair and unlike her mother had she had very straight lovely white teeth.
Rose had been made head girl that year, and Hugo and I had been made prefects. Albus had been made Gryffindor's quidtich team captain. Dom hadn't been made anything but it hadn't bothered her one bit.
As we greeted, giggled and chatted we were joined by Albus and Rose's friends Frank Longbottom ( son of Neville and Lavender Brown), Whiler Thomas (Daughter of Luna and Dean Thomas) and Whiler also happened to be James's girlfriend, and Danny Finnegan (Son of Seamus and Pavarti Finnegan). Rose and Whiler were the only Ravenclaws the rest of us were Gryffindors.
After an hour of talking about how terrible the Albus, Danny, and Frank were with girls, and listening to Albus, Danny and Frank try to persuade Hugo to take his nose out of his books and start focusing on girls I asked Dom to come with me to change into our robes.
As we headed towards the bathroom I noticed that same blonde boy sitting in a compartment alone. This time I caught a glance at his face. He was unbelievably gorgeous. His white blond hair flipped out around his face. His pale skin was unblemished. His nose was perfectly straight. His lips were extremely tempting as they guarded his pearly white teeth. From his arms you could tell he was very muscular. But what really had me were his icy blue eyes, they were so glorious and captivating they my breath was caught in my throat. I nearly stuck my face against the glass like an idiot so I could keep staring. He was already in his uniform but he had customized it a bit. His white shirt was undone a few buttons so you could see his white undershirt, he wore black skater shoes, and a black beanie.
I knew I would have seen him before now if he had gone to this school, must have gone to Durmstrang, like my uncle Charlie's son Bryon.
As I stared at him for a few seconds he looked up at me, his eyes haunted and there was another emotion, not quite anger but just intensity. My stomach squirmed.
"C'mon Lils," Dom urged as she tugged me along.
"What were you staring at?" she asked.
"The hottest bloody guy on the planet," I whispered still awestruck.
"Wait I thought Lupin was the hottest guy on the bloody planet?" Dom asked confusedly.
"O yah I saw you all cuddly with him today on the platform," she added with a sly grin.
I swatted her arm and dropped the subject.
As we exited the train I tried to catch another glimpse of the gorgeous boy, but I couldn't find him in the see of people.
As we boarded the carriages I heard Danny say "Did you hear there is a Malfoy coming to school here this year?"
"No way I thought they moved to America?" Whiler asked.
"They moved back, their son is coming to school here this year, I think he is in a our year," Danny said hastily.
"He shouldn't be allowed here," Albus spat, Dad had told us many stories about how the Malfoys, the part they played in the war and how Draco treated my dad in school.
"Albus! You never know he could be different, don't judge him because of his father," Rose chided.
Albus shrugged but said no more.
Once inside the castle we were greeted by Professor Slughorn.
"Ah why hello there Potters, ready for another year?" He asked.
Albus nodded back stiffly, he didn't like Professor Slughorn and his favoritism. Slughorn frowned at Albus but said no more. He turned to look at me. I nodded sheepishly.
"Well lets get into the great hall," he muttered as he lead the massive crowd of students into the great hall.
I sat in between Hugo and Dom. Albus, Danny, and Frank sitting across from us. Rose and Whiler left to the Ravenclaw table.
Headmaster McGonagall stood up and began her speech. I zoned out. I had heard this speech before… Don't go into the forbidden forest blah blah blah…
The sorting went by with out surprise, Louis was sorted into Hufflepuff, he was so nice it was very predictable.
"I am sorry to say our Defense against the dark arts professor, Professor Mickey has declined from his position, until further notice Professor Tawny will be your teacher and we would also like to congratulate our heads, Rose Weasley," Professor McGonagall called.
Rose puffed out her chest so everyone could see her shiny silver heads badge and smiled in pride. Everyone whooped and hollered, our family did so the loudest.
"And Scorpius Malfoy," She added her tone took on a fierce edge.
The hall fell silently. I followed her gaze to the Ravenclaw table where the incredibly good looking blonde boy was sitting. My jaw dropped to the floor. He was sitting alone, glaring down at his plate.
"Has McGonagall lost her mind?" Albus questioned incredulously.
We all sat there in stunned silence. I was gaping at the boy. A Malfoy? It couldn't be. How could some one so bloody beautiful be a Malfoy?
His heated eyes found mine and he stared intensely at me. My heart started pounding frantically and my stomach lurched. His gaze was rather frightening, yet I couldn't bring myself to be scared, nor could I bring myself to look away. His eyes held mine for a few more seconds before he looked away, glaring back down at his plate.
"Oh and would Rose Weasley, Scorpius Malfoy, and Lily Potter please come to my office after the feast, thank you, you may begin," She ended tersely.
I stared at her with a shocked expression. How could I have gotten into trouble already? I had barely been here five minutes! Was it because I zoned out during her speech? Bloody hell practically everyone did!
"All ready in trouble Lily?" Frank asked amusedly.
"I haven't even been here fifteen minutes!" I yelped.
Everyone except Albus laughed at my horrified expression. Albus was staring down at his food. Could he really be that upset at Malfoy becoming head boy? Or was it something else? Danny began talking to him, he was so zoned out he didn't hear him, not that Danny noticed. I kicked him from under the table.
He flinched but was drawn from his own little world and began talking animatedly with the rest of us.
After the feast I ran over to Rose, together we headed up to the headmaster's office, I couldn't help but notice Scorpius was no where in sight. We waited in silence for a few minutes outside of the Headmaster's office.
"Come in," McGonagall called.
Rose skipped up the steps I followed her wearily, wondering why McGonagall's wrath was being brought down on me. I wasn't a really trouble maker, but I was certainly not a goody goody. James was the real prankster in our family.
"Ah Rose Weasley this is Scorpius Malfoy," McGonagall introduced,
I watched as Rose and Scorpius shared a firm unfriendly handshake.
I stayed in the shadows as the headmaster began briefing them on their responsibilities. The portrait of headmaster Dumbledore was smiling at me, it was a strange smile like he knew a secret didn't. I tried to smile back but I expect it came out as a grimace. His eyes twinkled.
I stared down at my converse, rocking back and forth on my heels.
"Ms. Weasley, your excused," McGonagall dismissed.
Rose made her way out of the office glancing worriedly at me for a moment then hurrying down the stairs.
I went and took the seat that Rose once occupied. I glanced at Scorpius for a minute then stared back at the headmaster. Why hadn't she dismissed him too?
"Well Scorpius this is Lily Potter, Potter this is Scorpius," McGonagall introduced her voice hard.
Scorpius didn't even move to shake my hand like he had with Rose. I stared at my shoes again.
Mcgonagall sighed.
"Well Scorpius Lily will be your tour guide for the next week," Mcgonangall said warily.
We both stared at her in disbelief.
"B-but Professor, I don't think I am fit, I mean we aren't in the same house, or year," I sputtered. What the hell was going on here?
"Well Potter you do know where The head boys dorm is don't you?" she asked tersely.
I blushed and nodded. I had a lot of time there, Teddy had been head boy when I was a second year, he let me stay there when ever I wanted.
I could feel Scorpius staring at me.
"Well then you shouldn't have any problem," she said.
"I wouldn't want Ms. Potter to do anything she didn't want," I heard Scorpius say. Bloody hell his voice was just as appealing as the rest of him. A low, smooth, bass with silky quality to it.
"I don't mind," I muttered staring down at my converse blushing furiously.
"Well then its settled, look over his schedule and help him find his way around the castle, I have already informed your teacher you may be a few minutes late their classes," McGonagall said then looked up at the portrait of Professor Dumbledore who beamed at her and nodded.
"Ok," Scorpius and I said in unison.
"Well get going," McGonagall said with a small smile on her face.
I scrambled out of the headmaster's office, Scorpius on my heels.
Once we were in the halls. I sighed in relief, at least I wasn't in trouble.
Scorpius stared at me expectantly.
I stared at him for a second the blushed yet again and mumbled "This way." Then led the way down the corridor.
I walked slowly through the castle.
"Blimey this place is huge," I heard him murmur.
I giggled, I couldn't help it.
He looked down at me with a hard expression, yet his eyes were filled with humor.
"So you moved here from America?" I asked trying to make conversation.
He nodded and asked "Yes how'd you know?"
"Nothing stays a secret at Hogwarts," I said.
He nodded knowingly, a small smile tugging at his lips.
We finally reached a portrait of a Spanish knight.
"Password?" he asked in a thick Spanish accent.
"Make up a password," I whispered to Scorpius.
He contemplated it for a minute then said "Fire and ice."
"I shall remember that Noble Sir!" The knight bellowed and the portrait swung open.
Scorpius hopped into the room and began admiring it.
I hesitated at the door.
He without turning around he said "You can come in."
I jumped up into the room and the portrait swung shut.
They room hadn't changed at all since I was last in it. Now everything was in Ravenclaw colors instead of Gryffindor colors. There was a small common room with a sofa and a chair, a fireplace, a few bookshelves, and other homely touches. The bedroom was up a small flight of stairs, it was equipped with a large four poster bed. The bathroom that was attached to the Bed room had an extremely large bath with magically powered jets, and of course all the other bathroom necessities.
"The bedroom is up the stairs and the bathroom is attached to it," I said staring at his handsome face as he looked at the books on the shelves.
He nodded in thanks as he continued to skim the shelves. I stood there awkwardly, wondering what I should say.
"I will be here about seven thirty ok?" I asked nervously.
"Ok," he said simply.
I bit my lip for a second staring at his back then walked briskly from the room.
Once back in the Gryffindor common room I sighed in relief. It was terribly never wracking being near that boy. Dom and Hugo were waiting for me by the fire.
"Where have you been missy?" Dom asked with mock authority. I laughed and told her and Hugo everything that happened.
"Weird," mumbled Dom. I nodded.
Hugo was wearing his thinking face.
"Watcha thinking Hugo?" I asked.
"Just wondering that's all," He said with a kind smile.
I ruffled his hair and laughed.
We talked for a few minutes then departed for our separate dorms.
"Malfoy is really hot," Dom said once we were alone.
I nodded and said "He is a bloody god."
Dom laughed and said "I wouldn't go that far Lily dear."
"I would," I grumbled as I got into my pajamas.
Dom snickered and said "As hot as Teddy?"
"Yes," I murmured. She stared at me in shock.
"But Malfoy is so strange so… oh I don't know," I sighed in defeat an plopped down on my bed. I curled up into a ball and fell asleep.
