Yes, I know, another story. I promise I'll update both of them...only if you like this one, obviously. This idea came to me, and I didn't want to forget it, so here it is. Remember to review. :)


'Melanie Rickson, eh?'Albus asked, scrunching up his face, trying to remember what she looked like.

'Yep,' Scorpius said, proudly smirking. 'She's next on my list.'

'I still don't get why I'm friends with such a whore,' Al said, shaking his head, but grinning.

'You love me,' he responded, winking. Scorpius was extremely good looking and had a great body. The problem was, he knew how hot he was.

Al rolled his eyes and concentrated on his paperwork. He worked as a Healer in 's. He was currently filling a post-mortem report for a patient he had lost that very day. Scorpius had brought him to the Leaky Cauldron to cheer him up. He was a good friend in that way. He really cared for those he considered close. Unfortunately, his idea of close was far different from normal people's. He loved women...physically. Not in any other way. In his entire life of twenty two years, he had had one girlfriend, who lasted for two years. Of course, he had loved her to death, but in the end, he acted like a twat, and it was over.

Since then, it had been a year, and an eventful year at that.

Scorpius stretched and looked around the little inn. Not anyone worth shagging here, he thought, disgustedly. The Leaky Cauldron was filled with middle to old age witches and wizards. As much of a whore as he was, Scorpius never fancied older women. It always made him think about his mum and aunts, and then he just felt nauseated.

He looked over at Al. Poor bloke, he thought. His girlfriend of five years was out of town and he was having an awful day. Yet, he didn't mind talking about Scorpius next potential conquest. The man really was something.

Melanie was the new manager of the Tornadoes, a Quidditch team, that Scorpius had only recently joined. She was blonde, tall, curvy and had an odd looking face. But when did Scorpius ever look at a girl's face? It was their body he was after, anyway.

As he was fantasizing about her, she walked into the inn, accompanied by a shorter woman, with brownish-red, pin straight hair.

Scorpius' eyes widened at the sight of this woman. Not because she was gorgeous, not because she was hot...but because she was, in fact, his ex-girlfriend.

He turned to Al and saw that he hadn't noticed his sister. 'Al, I'll just pop into the loo for a bit, yeah?'

'Mmm,' Al said, clearly not paying attention. Taking advantage of that, Scorpius cast a Disillusionment Charm over himself and walked to where Melanie and her friend were deciding what to order.

'How about we sit at the counter,' he heard Melanie suggest.

Her friend shrugged and took a seat. Scorpius, carefully, sat in the bar stool next to her and listened, secretly hoping that he would be one of the topics they discussed. Somewhere at the back of his mind he also wondered why his ex would talk to Melanie Rickson.

'So, Lily,' Melanie said, smiling at her.

Lily Potter smiled back and said, 'Yeah, it's been a while.'

Of course, Scorpius thought, they had been friends back when they were at Hogwarts.

'Is your private life as scandalous as the reports say it is?' Melanie asked, laughing.

Lily, too, laughed. 'Don't you know me, Mel? I'm all about the drama.' She was, truthfully, the opposite of that. She hated causing a fuss. She hated that her every move was watched by the media. She, most of all, hated that her break-up with Scorpius Malfoy had been made such a big deal. The media also had made it out to be her fault, and Scorpius hadn't bothered to correct them.

'Hm...hey, Lil?'

'Yeah?'

'I need to ask you something,' Melanie said, uncomfortably.

'Go ahead.'

'Er...it's about...Scorpius.' He felt a jolt run through his spine.

Lily's face was unreadable. Scorpius refused to believe it, but she looked like she couldn't care less about him. 'What about him?' she asked, pleasantly.

'You know he's our new Keeper, right?'

'What?' Lily asked, shocked. The next second, she was laughing uncontrollably. I missed hearing that, Scorpius thought, smiling.

Melanie was confused. She didn't seem to understand why Lily was finding this piece of information that funny. 'What's so funny?'

Lily ended her bout of laughter and looked at her friend with amused eyes. 'It's just that he always went on about what a pathetic team the Tornadoes were. I never thought he'd become one of them.' Scorpius grinned. She remembered. His hatred for the Tornadoes began only because of Lily, and soon he loathed that team on his own terms too. But he joined them, because, well, they were offering him a wonderful sum of money for every match.

'Oh, I didn't know he hated our team,' Melanie said, thoughtfully. 'Wonder why he joined.'

'How much are you paying him?' Lily asked, knowingly rolling her eyes.

'About ten thousand Galleons a match.'

'No wonder.'

Melanie laughed, 'I guess I should've realised. But he is a great player. The only Chaser who managed to get through him was you, as far as I know.'

Lily merely smiled, remembering all the inter-house Quidditch matches, and a few League matches that she had played against the Chudley Cannons, Scorpius' former team.

It wasn't that Scorpius let her goals go through. She was just extremely good. Witch Weekly magazine had termed them as the perfect couple, a Keeper and a Chaser (though from rival teams, Puddlemere United and the Cannons). As though they completed each other. He remembered how much that had annoyed her.

'Anyway, what did you want to ask?'

'Oh,' Melanie said, the discomfort evident.'Well...would you mind terribly if I went out with him?'

A flicker of irritation showed on Lily's face, but was immediately replaced by a look of curiosity. 'Why would I mind?'

'Er...he's your ex, so I thought-'

'Mel, you said it yourself, he's my ex. I don't care if you go out with him,' Lily said, sounding honest, much to Scorpius' fury. How can she not care?

'Really?' Melanie said, brightening up at once. She got up and hugged Lily tightly. Lily kept the smile on her face intact.

'I've a few questions about him, though,' Melanie said.

This was one of the reasons Lily couldn't stand her. This was why they were never best friends. Melanie didn't know were to stop. Lily had said that she was okay with it, but that didn't mean that she was interested in talking about him, in relation to Mel.

'Er...okay,' she said, wearily.

'Is he a good kisser?' Melanie asked, interested. I need to hear this, Scorpius thought, smirking.

Lily mentally slapped herself for ever agreeing to have lunch with her. 'He's okay, I guess.'

'Details, Lil!'

'You want me to tell you what it's like kissing Scor?' Lily asked, flatly. The use of his pet name caused Scorpius to smile even more widely.

'Yeah!'

'I don't remember, honestly,' she lied, causing Scorpius to become indignant.

Melanie looked a bit put out, but that didn't dampen her spirit. 'What about his...?' She let her question trail off.

'His what?' Lily asked, blankly.

'His, you know...equipment,' Melanie said, giving Lily a sneaky look as though she had said something brilliant.

Lily began to laugh, and Scorpius had to control his own guffaws. Melanie was stupid. It was one of the reasons he's wanted to shag her.

'Equipment?' Lily asked, between laughs. 'You mean his dick?'

Melanie looked at Lily as though she had exposed some sort of secret. 'Yes,' she said, irritably.

'It's...well,' Lily said, grinning. She wanted to have fun with this. Scorpius was waiting with bated breath for her answer. 'It's tiny.'

Melanie looked shocked. But not as shocked as she looked when someone beside Lily yelled, 'WHAT?'
