Hello everyone! Here is the freshly edited/re-done chapter 1 of Reality. Hopefully, I'll have the next chapter up very soon, but until then please enjoy! *Obviously all credit goes to JK for the amazing world she created. The only thing I own is the plot and a couple of OC characters sprinkled into the story. Thanks!
...
It was an accident. An amazing accident. One that she had replayed over and over again in her head for the past month and a half. One that she had been dying to tell someone about, to tell anyone about. Well, not anyone, like for example her dad. It's safe to say that he'd be more than just a little angry and embarrassed to know about that particular aspect of his sweet, little daughter's life. In order to stray away from the responsibility of punishing her for this deed, he would just tell her mum, in which case Lily would definitely be screwed, so screwed that she would probably be grounded for life, but only after her mother killed her, while her dad would try and stop James and Al from murdering her "partner in crime" in a sense.
The worst part about Lily's fantastic accident was that it couldn't happen again. Don't get her wrong, she'd love for it to happen again, but there's no way in hell it can. It can't because Scorpius and Rose have been dating for 2 years and it doesn't look like they're about to break up anytime soon. They're high over heels in love with each other. Except for that one night when Scorpius wasn't. That was the night he was with Lily.
She had been in love with him for ages. Being Al's best friend he came over on summer holidays for a couple of weeks. This meant that she was able to be so close to him yet in a physical sense, yet so far socially. It was absolutely amazing for her, except for the fact that she was never allowed to spend time with them because she was Al's silly, younger sister.
Anyways, the accident was the best night of Lily's life. It all happened when they were all celebrating the victory of Slytherin over Hufflepuff, they being essentially the whole quidditch team and everyone 5th year and older. The huge 370-90 win was mostly because of Lily and her mate Marley, probably the most ruthless beaters in Hogwarts' history.
When the pair of them came down from their dorm room wearing provocative dresses that made them look like 7th years, Marley immediately left to snog their keeper Damian, so Lily ended up sitting on a couch with a bottle of Firewhiskey, as she quickly lost interest in the loud party. Luckily enough for Lily, Rose was sick that night so Scorpius was alone at the party and for an unexplainable reason, he wandered over to Lily. Although she was filled with excitement and a blush crept onto her face, she couldn't help but notice that he seemed paler than usually was, which was a huge thing in itself, He awkwardly plopped on the couch next to her as she frantically made room for him by practically jumping to the other side. Finally after a minute of him taking some long sips of his firewhisky and Lily staring down and twiddling her fingers against her own bottle, she looked up to find him staring at her.
"You okay?" she asked, peering into his stormy gray eyes while her heart skipped a beat.
"Um could you come here for a second?" His eyes darted everywhere and a bead of sweat dripped down his forehead as he stood up and started walking rather quickly.
"Sure." she shrugged and followed him. They walked up the stairs and he stopped at his own level and entered his dorm room. Lily hesitated at the door, debating whether she should follow him when he turned toward her and motioned for her to come inside.
"Are you okay?" she asked him again when they were in the empty room, facing each other.
"Bit nervous actually," he said, now he twiddled his fingers as she had done earlier.
"For what?" her heart was beating at a faster pace and she swallowed in anticipation.
"This." His perfect lips crashed onto hers and she closed her eyes. It felt so perfect and right but Lily realized that what they were doing was completely wrong. He was Rose's boyfriend for the love of Merlin! Looking back at the memory, Lily wasn't proud of it but she didn't stop him or herself and her momentary panic was forgotten in seconds, due to the fact that she wanted it so bad. Things got heated and the next thing she knew they were on his bed. One thing led to another and there was nothing between them but skin. Suddenly, she knew that all she wanted was to be completely connected and he seemed like he did too. She abruptly stopped for a second to grab her wand in order to cast a contraceptive charm but he stopped her and whispered that his was already wearing protection. With the latest development she tossed aside her wand and lunged to kiss him again, and in a couple of fiery minutes they were left panting on the bed. Scorpius turned to her with his messy blonde hair and took another swig of Firewhiskey. He smiled his crooked grin at Lily and she had to resist going at him again. They both fell asleep and she woke in a couple of hours ashamed. They had done the unthinkable and it was worse because Scorpius had cheated on Rose with her cousin Lily Potter. She woke him up and they agreed to never tell anyone of what they had done.
Lily opened her eyes and focused back on the present. It was really unfortunate for her that she was Al's younger sister and 2 years younger than Scorpius. It was too bad that Mr. Hotness was in her house right now and she couldn't even talk to him much. It was also too bad that her cousin Rose was the definition of a bloody goddess and not to mention almost as much of a genius as her mother.
Lily, on the other hand, had pale skin covered in freckles and what appeared to her were boring brown eyes. Just lucky for her that her idiot of a brother Al got the emerald eyes, dark hair and olive skin which drove some of the people she knew at school insane. At least she had her own dark red hair which was different from the Weasley orangish color. She wasn't not a sight for sore eyes for a sixteen-year-old, but compared to Rose, Lily believed she was nothing.
Back to her current situation where Scorpius Malfoy was currently at her house for a couple of days and not once had he even looked at her, treating her the same way he always had; the younger sibling of his best friend. Lily didn't understand it, she was not 12 anymore and they had recently hit it off pretty well. The least he could do was talk to her, but no, he just constantly struts around the house like it never happened, like it purely just meaningless sex for him.
Lily's thoughts were interrupted when her mum knocked on the door. "Lily come downstairs now, Rose is here."
"Coming," The door swung open seconds later and Rose jumped onto my bed, knocking me to the ground in the process.
"Thanks a lot Rose, that was totally the move of someone who's going into 7th year." she groaned, getting up.
"Get up already you lazy arse."
"Merlin Rose, what's up with the attitude?"
"There's no attitude," she snapped. "Just get up already." Lily stood up and plopped down on her bed again.
"Happy?" she muttered.
"Get dressed Lils." Rose said, ignoring the annoyance that Lily was not attempting to hide in the slightest.
"Why?"
"Are you serious?" she asked raising a perfect eyebrow at her.
"No, my middle name's Luna. I think you have me mistaken for James." In response to the huge smirk on her face, Rose just sighed.
"Seriously Lily, get ready, we're supposed to go to the Burrow today! We're all going to be there for a couple of weeks like every single year. What kind of forgetting potion are you on?"
"Shit, I don't know how I forgot about that." That was a total lie. Of course she knew how she forgot. I was just too busy fawning over her pathetic memory with Scorpius. Suddenly, Lily felt very guilty, seeing that she was thinking about it with Rose right there.
"Rose, I need to tell y-." The door burst open and Al walked in along with Scorpius.
"We're leaving in 10 minutes. Where's your trunk Lils, we'll take it down for you?"
"How many fucking times have I told you to knock?" she practically growled at her brother.
"Merlin, if it pisses you off that much then I'll knock next time Lily Luna."
"Fuck off I hate when you call me that, besides I haven't packed yet," she said while she got up and moved to shut the door. "Is he going too?" Lily nodded towards Scorpius.
"Yeah I am, since mum and dad are on a vacation for their anniversary." he said, choosing to answer for Al. "Hey there beautiful." For a second Lily smiled, thinking he was talking to her, but then she realized he was talking to Rose because they started snogging.
"Come on Scorp she's my cousin." Al yelled, causing the lovers to pull apart and smile at each other with flushed faces.
"Oi Al! Get used to it already. We started dating 2 years ago!"
A scowl begins to form on Lily's face but she wills it away as she turned to her brother. "Get out."
"You alright Lils?" Rose asked her curiously as she furiously threw clothes in her suitcase. That was the problem with Rose, she was either completely intuitive or a bitch.
"I'm fine," Lily said while forcing a smile.
"Here, I'll help." Rose walked over and packed some of the clothes.
"Damn her," thought Lily, she even packed her favorite outfits.
"Thanks Rosie Posie," she couldn't help but smile after they finished packing.
"Don't call me that, now what were you going to tell me before?"
"Nothing," Lily chickened out.
"Oh come on Lils, tell me." Rose pleaded.
"Uh I was going to tell you that… I like someone." She made that lie up because she knew that Rose would eat it up because she's a sucker for gossip.
"Continue,"
"Umm Dylan Summers." She blurted the first name that popped into her head
"Ew Lily that arse who's been in love with you for ages." she groaned, "You seriously can't be into him."
"Well I am." she said, trying to sound hurt.
It seemed as though she succeeded when Rose looked at her with a softened expression. "Sorry Lils, I guess his attempts have finally rubbed off of you."
"I guess they have," she said uncomfortably. In reality Dylan Summers was completely in love with her. He had asked Lily out over 157 times throughout their time at Hogwarts and each time it was done in a different fashion. Throughout the summer break he already managed to send me twenty letters that were all lit up with James' wand before being opened. Dylan is not even bad looking; his amber eyes are hinted with blue, making them quite unique and lovely. In fact, a couple of Lily's roommates like him.
Strangely, the thought of her liking him combined with the thought of Rose kissing Scorpius made Lily sick. Like, actually sick.
She ran to the bathroom and wretched all the contents of her stomach. "Lils what's wrong?" Rose ran into the bathroom after me and scrunched up her gorgeous face at the sight of Lily hurling her guts up. She then came over and patted her back as she flushes the toilet for her cousin.
"Lily, I have a question that I want you to answer honestly." Rose said in a small voice as Lily brushed her teeth.
"Shit, shit, shit. How could she know?" Thought Lily as she tried keeping a blank expression and slowly nodded, urging Rose to ask.
"When did you have your monthly last?" Lily lifted up her eyebrows in bewilderment. That was definitely not the question she had been expecting.
"Why?" she asked after spitting out some toothpaste.
"I just noticed that your trash bag doesn't have any pads in it and I know for a fact that we have ours at roughly the same time so it should have ended a week ago. I know that you couldn't have been using tampons because you hate them. Also, you never take out your trash, so that bag has probably been there since the Easter holidays.
No offense but you've also been quite moody today, definitely detecting some major mood swings."
Damn, that girl was too observant for her own good in Lily's opinion. "I don't know," she gulped, trying to force herself to not understand what Rose was trying to ask.
"Have you lost it yet?"
Shit. "Yeah I have." she said, the color rising in her cheeks. "It was only once though and we used protection."
"How did you learn the charm?" she asked, which caused Lily to smirk slightly as well as wince a moment later.
"I learned the charm out of a book I found in mum's room. The thing is, we didn't use the charm that night."
"Shit Lily, the charm always works! How could you not use the charm?"
"I don't know!" If what Rose was trying to say came out to be true then Lily was screwed way more than if her parents found out she was having sex.
"Lily! Rose! We're leaving!" yelled her dad's voice at that very moment.
"Rose what am I going to do?" Lily asked, bursting into tears.
"Shhh Lily we don't know for sure yet. I'll tell you what; I'll buy a test and apparate to the Burrow separately. It's gonna be okay, don't cry." she said while wiping the tears.
Lily remained silent as they walked down the stairs. There was no way this was happening. There was no way that she could be pregnant. It would be a total disaster. She was already imagining all of the magazines. It was already bad enough that her dad was "The Chosen One". Now, his idiot of a daughter was going to be a teen mom!
"Calm down," Lily told herself. "We don't know for sure yet." Rose gave her a quick hug and then apparated away, leaving Lily alone with the crazy voices in her head.
"This really is a shitty way to start the summer." she thought as she floo'd to the Burrow.
