Summer Lovin'
It all started with the lake, the smile, and the heat.
It was sweltering out, and every Hogwarts student was filtering outside. Summer was coming, and they knew it.
One girl in particular, a girl named Lily Luna Potter, was enjoying it. The year before, she'd taken a yearlong abroad study trip to the United States—and she'd stayed in Alaska most of the time.
So, as she sat under the shade of a big tree, she was smiling, her eyes closed peacefully.
None other than her arch-nemesis, Ravenclaw Scorpius Malfoy, caught this smile.
Figures.
The two had begun to hate each other when Lily first got to Hogwarts. Rose, her cousin, had been dating Scorpius—tentatively—at the time. And when Scorpius broke it off, Lily was furious.
Her cousin had stayed friends with Scorpius, but it wasn't nearly the same. The two Ravenclaws never spent time alone together. Ever.
Usually amiable Scorpius had flared up when Lily'd confronted him. "What are you talking about? You don't understand! That's because your friggin' Rosie doesn't tell you these things! It's private! Leave our relationship alone, or else!"
She got the message, but the two glared at each other when they passed in the hall and spoke angrily about them to everyone.
So Scorpius wasn't used to seeing Lily smile. He sat down across the lake from her. The sun burned on his face, but he didn't care. He was enthralled.
She opened her eyes, presently, and stretched. She yawned loudly and stood, dusting her robes off. She flipped her red curls over her shoulder and walked back towards the castle, leaving nothing but the yellow orange glow of the setting sun behind.
