Hey! This is my second fanfic that will eventually become a Lily and Scorpius love story. But it may appear slow as I want to develop the situation between the Potter's and the Malfoy's first. But anyway, if you would like to k now what happened pretty much straight after the war check my other fanfic: "Life Goes On".
Please read!

Dad, the pancakes are ready!" eleven year old Lily shouted from the kitchen hoping her father would hear him in the bedroom. "Coming Lils!" Harry opened the door and came down the stairs where he saw Lily in a butterfly t-shirt and jeans. She had her mother's hair colour, although it had a brown tint and bright green eyes like him. Harry scooped his daughter and she wrapped her skinny arms around him: "How's my peach? Looking forward to having her big brothers home?"
"No, now James and Albus can both fly so they'll be playing Quidditch all summer. And they'll eat everything." Lily sighed and Harry chuckled. She hadn't seen James and Albus since Christmas and was secretly looking forward to them returning. She was always lonely, mam was always cleaning or writing articles and dad was doing Auror work. However when her brothers were home, she was never left alone.
Harry scoffed down the pancakes within minutes: "You have the table manners of a hippo." Ginny commented.
"You should be complimented; they must be good pancakes if I'm eating them so quick." Harry grinned at her: "You shouldn't play with your food peach."
"Dad, I'm trying to make swirls with the syrup." Lily squeezed the bottle so hard that a massive blob covering her pancakes came out. Harry laughed at her while Lily tried to scrape off the syrup.
Lily and her parents left the Car just outside the Kings Cross train station. She loved seeing the Hogwart's Express chug into platform 9 3/4 and all the pupils coming off it with their school trunks wearing robes. She couldn't wait until the summer was over and she could do it herself.
"Ginny, Harry over here!" Lily's Uncle Ron bellowed for them to come over. Lily ran forward, after all he was her favourite uncle. She could see the rest of her uncles, Bill, George and Percy. Percy was her least favourite, as when they went to his house it was so boring. Molly and Lucy must go out of their mind. Though she loved Charlie too but he lived in Romania. "How's my little Lilypad?" Ron clasped her into a hug and swung her around.
"I'm good." Lily replied. Her eyes lit up as soon as she saw the bright red steam engine approach the platform. Students were cheering out of the windows. Ron put Lily back down on the floor and she went to stand next to Hugo: "Hey Hugo." She said to him. She wasn't that close to Hugo, he'd rather talk to Louis and she'd rather talk to Rose or Dominique. Hugo was a quiet person who she would have the odd game of chess with at Christmas. Though this year they had grown closer since all the other cousins had been at school and Lily had gone to her grandparent's place every day where she saw Hugo: "Erm hullo Lil." He shrugged his shoulders. Hugo was a great deal taller than Lily and he had bright red hair and a freckle, which is what Uncle George would call a typical Weasley appearance.
"Six weeks and we will be boarding the train." Lily told him.
"Yeah. I guess so." She and Hugo watch the train eventually slow down.
"LILY!" James dumped his trunk on the trolley and hugged his little sister: "I've missed you baby."
"Sibling love, where's my hug Potter?" Lily turned around to see a boy with platinum blonde hair and grey eyes in a black polo neck jumper: "See you next year, since you've lost your seeker, Slytherin is bound to win Potter." He smirked. Lily looked up at her eldest brother, his ears looked as if steam was about blow out of them. "Come James, let's go and find Mum and Dad." Lily tugged at his brother 's sleeve and dragged him towards Harry and Ginny.
The three Potter children climbed into the back of the family's hatchback. Lily sat in the middle between James and Albus. "James, who was that boy?" She asked him.
"Scorpius Malfoy, second year Slytherin. The biggest prat in Hogwarts." James told her.
"Malfoy, isn't that where Dad was captured and taken to in the war?" Lily asked him.
"Yeah it was Lils, the whole family are hypocrites." Harry kept his eyes on the road, but the children knew he was still listening.
"He's not only a bully, he's a flirt and a player." Albus told her: "Only girls he hasn't hit on are the ones with Weasley surnames and ginger hair."
"So he should, Weasley women are scary creatures." Harry joked and Ginny slapped him.
"Yeah they're stupid ones too marrying people like you." Ginny said to him.
"Nice comeback Mum." James laughed. Lily was right, her family was a lot better with her brothers home.
Thank you for reading the first chapter, it means a lot to me! Anyway I hoped you liked the cold introduction to Scorpius, let me warn you that this won't be a straightforward love story! If you want more Lorpius fiction, check my favourites!
