LILY

I never knew how it would feel when the time finally came. I mean I had fantasied my whole life and then it was happening and it was amazing.

Ok, so I'll back up to about 6 months ago when everything in my life started to get turned upside down. But first things first, I'll introduce myself. My name is Lily Potter; I am in the Gryffindor house at Hogwarts in my seventh and final year, I love music and I am really big bookworm. And if you haven't already guessed it, I am a virgin (or was a virgin I guess now).

So 6 months ago was when things started to get really crazy. It was the beginning of my seventh and final year at Hogwarts. Everyone was sitting down for the feast while watching all the First Years get placed in their houses. It was weird coming to Hogwarts and hardly having any family left, both of my brothers, James and Albus had graduated and all I had left was my cousin Hugo. We were the youngest and after us there wasn't going to be any Weasley's or Potter's at Hogwarts again for a while.

While I was thinking about all of this I could feel someone watching me from behind. When I looked back I saw Scorpius Malfoy staring at me from the Slytherin table on the other side of the room. He averted his eyes right away and it was strange because he never paid any attention to me or to anyone in my family usually. Normally we would just pretend the other didn't exist. Scorpius did this first to my brother James on their first day of school here together and so the rest of us just took the lead from them.

Honestly, I felt kind of bad for him, he had to take a year off school because his mother was dying and his dad was still trying to make a name for themselves in business back when he was supposed to be in third year. He took care of his mom that year and then came back the next. But then he failed all or most (I never really got the whole story, as I said before we never speak) that following year because he was so upset about his mother. Now all his friends had graduated without him and he was in his seventh year with me now.

I turned around to look at him again and I could see that he was sitting alone. He had people on every side of him but all turned away from him, obviously not having conversations with him. That must be so lonely.

"Lily…. LLLLIIIILLLLYYY!"

"Huh, yeah, what?" I said.

"What are you thinking about up in that head of yours? I have been saying your name for the past 2 minutes," wondered Lysander. He had been my best friend for as long as I could remember. I used to play with both twins Lysander and Lorcan when we were younger as they are the children of my parent's friend Luna Lovegood. But as we were sorted in first year Lorcan got placed in Hufflepuff and Lysander in Gryffindor with me. It was obvious before we got to first year though that we had begin to develop different interests, the Sorting Hat just made everything more final.

"I was just thinking about the classes this year. I am taking so many because I still don't know what I want to get into. I still don't know if I want to drop a class or not," I said.

"Would you stop thinking about classes already? You know you are going to be amazing at whatever you do. You are like the smartest person I know."

"Thanks Ly, but it is still so much to think about. I actually think I am going to try and head up to the dorms before all the craziness of the First Years heading up their starts. At least that way I will be prepped for tomorrow."

"Ok, fine, we are going to catch up later then when you are not so in your head! You know it is ok to relax every once and a while!"

"I know, I know. Tomorrow I will have made a decision one way or another about my classes so come dinnertime no more talk about it, I promise."

I am going to keep you to the promise Lily Potter!" Lysander yelled as I started to walk away from the table.

I waved a backwards wave goodbye and started out of the Great Hall. I went up to the Gryffindor Tower and everything was so quiet. This was the way I liked it, perfect for playing the piano. This was the one thing about myself that I didn't really advertise about myself. It was just for me. I started playing a few chords and humming a tune I had come up with when I started hearing voices. I looked at the time and it had already been a half and hour. This is what always happened, I was lost track of time playing. I waved my wand got rid of the piano in the middle of the dorm room and started to put my PJ's on.

Tomorrow would be a good day, I figure out my class schedule because I had both of the classes I was thinking of dropping tomorrow and after finding out about what the class will be like I will make my decision. My roommates started to file in, all pretty tired from the journey getting to Hogwarts as well. We would all catch up tomorrow. They started to get changed for bed and I closed my eyes and was dead to the world.

I was sitting in my Ancient Runes class when Scorpius walked in. Scorpius saw me sitting there and took the seat right beside me.

"Hi," he said. I was astonished, he had never said one word to me, I don't even think that until yesterday we had even made eye contact before.

"Hi?"

"So your in this class too huh? I don't think there is going to be very many people as it is only for a few specific fields of study for the future. Why do you need this class?"

I honestly just looked at him with my mouth agape. I didn't know what to say. That was so many words from I person I had never heard speak before. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"

"I said, why do you need this class?" he stated again. His voice was so deep and smooth.

"Oh, uh, I don't actually have a specific reason for taking it. I still don't know what I want to do so I am taking some extra classes to be prepared. I was actually thinking of dropping it."

"Oh" was all he said. He sounded sad for some reason. But how could he be sad, we had just started talking less than 5 minutes ago and it wasn't like we were friends or anything.

Then the class started and I looked around the room. He was right about one thing though, not very many people took this class; there were only 5 of us in this room. Maybe that's why he chose to sit beside me? No, that didn't make sense, everyone else was sitting by himself or herself, all of us from different houses except the two people from Ravenclaw but I guess they weren't friends. So why did Scorpius decide to sit with me?


SCORPIUS

I never thought I would get so lucky. My life has been really hard but holding this girl here in my arms is the happiest I have ever been. I won't ever let this girl go.

I guess I should start at the beginning as well because I seriously want to know how this all went down as well. I mean seriously, how did I get this lucky?

Ugh, another year of being lonely at Hogwarts. I mean last year I tried to make friends, but it is so hard to be apart of group that is already a group and has been for years. Unless I was going to be friends with the First Years, which was never going to happen, there was no way for making friends. I mean everyone was friendly but they never invited me to hang out with them. Not that I really blamed them though, I would never invite an outsider into my old group of friends that graduated 2 years ago either.

Another Sorting Hat Feast, my final and eighth year here at Hogwarts and I could not wait to graduate. We got 5 new Slytherins to our house and they were already horsing around at the end of the table. You knew that they were going to be trouble, which hopefully would start this year for something interesting to do as last year was immensely boring.

This was with the exception of the last day of exams right before summer break. I heard music coming from the Astronomy Tower so I went further to see what was going on up there. There I saw Lily Potter playing the piano and singing with the most beautiful voice. I had never heard anything like it before. I looked for the song that she was playing all summer to see what it sounded like without her performing it but I couldn't find it.

So all feast long I had been staring at her. She had only caught me once but she probably knew I was still staring at her, I mean I was putting holes in the back of her head. When she got up to leave early, I was hoping that she was heading to Astronomy Tower to play some more music but I desperately needed more. It was the only thing that got me through the whole summer. But she turned towards the Gryffindor Tower and so I headed to bed as well.


SCORPIUS

When I saw Lily the next morning in Ancient Runes, I was so happy. She wasn't sitting with anyone so I thought 'why not sit with her?' There most likely was going to be that many people in the class so may be eventually I could get her to play some more music for me.

As I sat down I said "Hi." As I was taking out my belonging she said "Hi?" It really sounded like a question. I know she undoubtedly thought it was weird and mad me saying hi to her but how else was I going to talk her into more music. I had to start somewhere.

"So your in this class too huh? I don't think there is going to be very many people as it is only for a few specific fields of study for the future. Why do you need this class?" I said in response to her questioning hi.

She was obviously still in shock because she asked to repeat and so I did. Finally she gave me an answer but it was so disappointing. She could drop the class, what if we didn't have any other classes together. I would have to stalk her to hear more music. And if she thought it was weird me sitting and talking with her in class she definitely was going to think it was weird me staring at her all the time.

I guess I would just have to pray that she decided not to drop the course. All I could do was wait until next class to find out.
