Lily Potter stared outside her window as she took the train ride back from Hogwarts for what was surely to be the last time. She held a nostalgic smile as she looked over facing her cousin Hugo. He smirked at her.

"Mum tells me you're bringing home a boy for super tonight" He says wiggling his eyebrows. She rolled her eyes and looked back outside, her smile growing. It was true, she was bringing her boyfriend of three years to her family dinner at the Burrow. Of course, everybody would be there, even her grandparents, but after three blissful years of secrecy, they had both decided it was time for them to come out to their respective family. It had been hard for Scorpius Malfoy and herself to keep this secret from everybody during the first year of their relationship.

He was a 7th year and she was a 5th year and they were doing their prefect rounds together one night and it had just happened. Of course they had both agreed that it should never happen again, it was clearly just a one-time thing. However, the next time they ran their patrols together, they couldn't help it… Not that time or the time after or the time after, so on and so forth. But neither of them regretted it. It was hard for them so sneak around and lie when it came time to spending nights together outside of their patrols and it was especially hard to keep it from Albus, who was after all Scorpius Slytherin dorm-mate and best friend, because sometimes Scorpius would tell him a funny story that happened with his newest "conquest" and then Lily would tell him the same story but say it happened with a "friend". They were lucky however, that Albus wasn't smart enough to make the connection between the two but he did think it was quite hilarious how his sister and his best friend happened to have the same thing happen to them. But as soon as they both graduated, the only way to make sure that nobody ever found out was to hide his letters really well under her mattress. Of course, the whole long distance thing had been very hard on the both of them. They only saw each other during holidays when she snuck out of the wards of the house to see him as Minister Kingsley had insisted on this precaution the moment the war had ended and her father had established himself at Godric's Hallow. So of course, that meant that nobody could apparate in and out of the house and that a trigger went off inside the house if someone other then them trespassed at night or during the day. It kind of sucked that she always had to sneak out… It kind of sucked that they had a long distance relationship but if anything, the distance had made them fall in love even more. The little moments they had together were all the most precious and passionate. And now, she knew that he was going to be waiting for her at King's Cross to say hello but she didn't know how she would get to see him and be with him alone while her parents were obviously going to be looking for her. She fiddled with the bracelet he gave her as they finally pulled up to King's Cross. She rushed out of the train and started looking for him and smiled brightly when she finally caught his eye. She started making her way towards him and once she had, he pulled her into a corner to draw attention from themselves. She took his face in her hands and kissed him passionately. He returned the kiss just as eagerly and pull her closer to him, lifting her up form the ground.

"Gods I missed you," He mumbled against her lips smiling widely. She giggled and kissed him again

"Not as much as I missed you" She whispers and tilts her head to the side as he trails the kisses down to her neck. She bites her lower lip fighting back a moan.

"Stop that… if my parents see a hickey they wont take kindly to you when they meet you tonight" She says pushing him back and pressing her forehead against his. He rubbed his nose against hers and sigh.

"I don't think that they will take kindly to it because I'm me…" He whispers. She closed her eyes and pressed her lips to his to comfort him.

"I love you… and they will love you… and if they don't then I don't care because you are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I'm not about to let you go" She whispers and he smiles kissing her again.

"You should go… They will be worrying about you," He whispers kissing her one last time. With one more 'I love you', they part ways and she walks towards her family who was patiently waiting for her. Ginny was the first to spot her and hugged Lily tightly as Lily reached her.

"Oh my little baby is finally graduated" She whines a little and kisses her forehead and cheeks. Lily laughs and pushed her mother off gently.

"I'm not five anymore mother" She says and smiled hugging her brothers before hugging her father tightly.

"I missed you angel" He whispers and kisses her head smiling. She blushed a little and smiled.

"I missed you too dad" She says and kisses his cheek. Despite being 17, she was still the biggest daddy's girl in the world and she like it like that. But after tonight, she was scared that it wouldn't be like that anymore. They headed out to the car and Harry put his arm around her.

"So who is this infamous boy that thinks he is good enough for my little angel?" He asks with a smirk on his face while Ginny smacked his arm.

"Yah tell us sis, I'm going to pound his face into next month." James said with a wicket grin making Al roll his eyes.

"You will do no such thing! If any of you lay a finger on him, Ill chop your balls of and make you eat them," She glares at them making her parents laugh. She pushed hair out of her face before getting into the car and pulling out her book. Scorpius had given her this book, "And then There Were None" by Agatha Christie, for her to read and she was absolutely captivated by it. The only times she put it down in the last week were for meals, classes and the train ride because she was too preoccupied worrying about tonight but now, she wanted to read to get her mind off it all. Scorpius and her would last no matter what. Soon enough, they arrived home to Godric's Hallow. Lily stepped out of the car before going to the back of the car and grabbing her trunk as her brothers pushed each other into the house, teasing each other. Of course nothing had changed. She rolled her eyes before making her way in the house.

She rushed down the stairs as she realized she was supposed to meet Scorpius at the Leaky Cauldron five minutes ago. Her parents were in the living room so she slowed down with a groan as her mother threw her a look.

"And where do you think you are going?" Her mother asked making her roll her eyes.

"I was supposed to meet my boyfriend at the Leaky Cauldron five minutes ago… He wasn't just going to pop into the Burrow." She explains fidgeting with the edge of her white-laced dress.

"And why can't he just come here?" her father asked her, not liking the fact that this guy who was dating his daughter was too scared to come meet them in person first.

"Because dad, I asked him not too. Gosh can I go now before he thinks I've decided to dump him?" She asked but didn't wait for an answer. She grabbed a handful of Floo powder before yelling in 'The Leaky Cauldron'.

She dusted off the chimney powder from her dress and looked around the pub. She saw him sitting at a nearby table, his back facing her. She smiled a little before walking towards him and wrapping her arms around his neck, her hands on his chest. She kissed his neck softly making him shiver.

"Hello handsome… waiting for a date?" She whispered in his ear. Before she could even react, he had pulled her on his lap and brought his lips to her. She giggled kissing him back, her hands tangling themselves in his bleach blond hair. She pulled away smiling and pecked his lips.

"Miss me much?" She asked making him smile and rub his nose against hers.

"I miss you every second you aren't with me" He whispers before kissing her again. She sighs happily before pulling back.

"I am so utterly and unequivocally in love with you it hurts." She says smiling softly before slipping off his lap and standing up. She takes his hand in hers and squeezes it.

"Come on, we should get going." She says and he pouts.

"Cant we just stay and make out for a little while longer?" He pleaded making her laugh. She shook her head and bent down to kiss his pouted lip.

"Maybe if you behave well enough tonight… we can do a little more then that." She whispers before standing straight up. Scorpius looked at her in shock. They had never actually done it, because Lily was never ready for it and he could respect that but that now, finally after three years she wanted to… That was huge for the both of them. The thing is, Lily had felt ready a year ago. Being apart from Scorpius was the hardest thing she ever had to do, and the fact that he stuck it out to be with her meant so much to her. She was ready… she was definitely ready. He grinned as she sent him a wink and he followed her out to the little backroom that lead to Diagon Alley.

"Just hold your breath," she says and took his hand. With a pop, they were gone only to reappear outside the gates of the Burrow.

"You know… my granddad used to talk about this place like it's a dump… in my opinion it's bloody brilliant." Scorpius says smiling. He kisses her cheek before letting her lead him into the house.
