A/N: This is my second attempt at writing a Lily/Scorpius fic. I've never wrote from a good characters point of view, it's easier with the bad ones so I hope it works out okay. This is also the longest length I've written for a chapter before but I will keep it up at this length, that's a promise.

Thanks for reading, I hope you like!


Chapter One- Ready or Not

Lily

I swirled the spoon through the cereal in the bowl with my left hand while I held my head with my right hand. I'm sporting the hangover from hell and it's all dad's fault. He refused to give me the hangover remedy, that I created myself, in an attempt to stop me from drinking. Like that would work! Yeah right.

My mom sat down opposite me just as I saw my best friend of the last six years by the window.

"Lilliana" Mom started.

"It's Lily" I interrupted. "And dad wouldn't like you not calling me Lily" I was named after his mother who died when he was only a baby, mom didn't want me to have a name that is more often used as a nickname, so officially I was Lilliana. Unofficially I was Lily and dad wanted it that way.

"Lilith would be more appropriate for you" Mom snapped, looking at anywhere but me.

"Lilith hey I like that" I nodded in approval. I stood up. "Call me that" I commanded and then went over to put the bowl on the counter; I was always lazy. I waved at my friend outside the window.

"Lily we haven't finished"

I coughed.

"Lily"

I coughed again.

"Lilith"

"Yes mom?"

"Just go" Mom waved her hand lazily as Albus descended the stairs being chased down by James. Such kids, I shook my head, and James was supposed to be an adult now.

James was twenty and still living at home with mommy and daddy because no matter how lazy I was, James was ten times that. Albus had only just left school a few months ago so he was living at home for the time being, while he sorted out what he wanted to do because he stupidly hadn't thought of that while at school.

The only reason the two of them were up at eight-thirty in the morning was because of the family tradition of seeing the rest of the family off to Hogwarts. Like I would hold that tradition when I left Hogwarts! I didn't much care for our family traditions, they were pretty much all stupid and I had pretty much broken every tradition in the book.

Mia turned to me as I stepped outside and then embraced me. "I'm so happy to be going back" She told me as we pulled apart. "But I'm going to miss The Bloods"

"We're be back to spend Christmas with them" I grinned.

"You got that right" She high-fived me. "You finished packing because then we can say bye?"

"Nope" I shook my head. "Nearly have"

"I'll help" Mia rolled her eyes at me so I shoved her.

Mia-my best friend and my partner in crime. We had met on the train and bonded instantly, a soul meeting its partner kind of bond. We were like twins.

Even in looks we were kind of alike. We both had tanned skin from sunbathing, had green irises that attracted people to us like bees to honey and were near enough the same height. She had Cherokee features that made her look exotic so she was definitely the better looking twin.

We walked back into the house, mom was gone leaving my two brothers at the table. James grinned as he saw Mia; he had had a crush on her for years.

"Hi James" She said as we stepped in.

"Mia, we don't leave for two hours, you came to say a special goodbye to me?" He asked with a grin.

Mia raised an eyebrow. "Oh James, you carry on wishing for something you'll never get, if it keeps you're little man happy" She stared down at his lap.

"Hey" James jumped up, offended. "I have a big cock, I hope you know"

"James!" Dad exclaimed as me, Mia and Albus burst out laughing.

Louis was lounging on my bed, a cigarette dangling by his fingers, lit.

"Louis" I scowled grabbing it off him and stubbing it out.

"Oh please" He collapsed down on the bed. "Auntie Ginny and Uncle Harry let you get away with a lot of shit"

"Yeah but not in their house"

He rolled his eyes. "Did they say that?"

"They said that about sex but it's more respect than anything"

Louis choked. "Respect, you?"

"Hey" I hit his leg. "Fuck you!"

"He's right" Mia said kneeling down at my half packed holdall bag. Me and Mia had got fed up of lugging back our stuff from Hogwarts to Home so we left most of our stuff with a friend who lived in Hogsmeade. We only took back and forth what we couldn't leave but even then I just couldn't be bothered to pack it. Sue me.

"What you doing here Lor?"

"I am coming to go to Hogwarts with my favourite cousin is what I'm doing"

Me and Louis were the bad one's of the family so we stuck together. "Okay you can" I told him. "But for now hang out with your other cousins; me and Mia have to meet our friends"

"Well come back"

We jumped out from the window once Mia had packed the last of my stuff away and went to meet up with The Bloods.

The Bloods were our family, ergo the name. They sound like a gang but it was just how I and Mia saw them. Mia, it turned out when I first met her on the train, lived in the next town next to mine; we met The Bloods a year later.

We went to Reyes whose mother inherited the mansion they lived in off her rich and dead grandfather. It was just the two of them and Reyes practically had his own wing of the house where we always hung out.

"No the witches are going away" Rolf through his arm over his eyes. Me and Mia were also rule-breakers so telling our friends what we were was just a glitch.

"And you'll going to miss us" I planted a kiss on Rolf's cheek who wiped it off furiously.

"Nasty slobber" He grumbled, I grinned.

There was Reyes Cole, Rolf Dyne, Amber Highland, Jamie Worcester, Lee Mandalay and Chuck Ridgeback.

"Lils, Mia come here" Chuck held his arms out, tears shining in his eyes. Chuck was always Mr. Dramatic but we loved him for it.

"Don't cry baby" I played up to him sitting in his lap, resting my head on his shoulder and wiping the tears away. "I'll come back to you"

"But you're gone too long" He played back with a sniffle and then flopped us over so he was on top off me. I placed my hands on my shoulder to push him back but I kind of didn't want to. I liked his weight on me, it was heavy but it also wasn't and it felt really nice.

I pushed him away a tiny bit delayed and with less vigour but no one took much notice; I was going back to Hogwarts so extended goodbyes were acceptable.

We stayed there for the two hours until we had to go to get the train and for once I was glad to leave. I didn't know what had happened earlier with Chuck but I wanted to just forget all about it.

We apparated to near King's Cross Station and then walked the rest of the way to it. My parents and Albus joined our family clan at the station but I pulled James away from them. Mia and Louis looked at us and then carried on. I took him into one of the rooms.

"What you doing Lily?" He asked running a hand through his hair. "I'm fine"

"Bullshit. Tell me"

He sighed and looked away.

"Don't make me use force" I threatened. He turned back to me with a grin and I smiled back at him. "What's wrong Jamesy?"

I might not be much of a family person and I may be a complete bitch to some of them but my brothers were different. They were my siblings, there was a bond there. And I had always sorted my brothers problem's out, all the way from girls to magic to mistakes they've made.

I was the bipolar opposite to my brothers, hell I was the bipolar opposite to all my family except my cousin Louis. My siblings were the only ones in the family who don't see me as a total bitch who does bad things; they just saw me as their sister who was always there for them and who they could always have a laugh with. I loved them to pieces and I'll do anything for them.

"There's this girl who I've been" He paused.

"Fucking?"

"Yeah and she, she's pregnant"

I stepped closer to him. "She sleeping with anybody else?"

"Yes I" James took a deep breath. "She is" He nodded. "It's just I don't know yet and it's killing me of whether I'm the father or not"

"And if you are?"

"Right now, I don't want a baby. I can barely look after myself, how can I look after a kid?"

I pulled him to me and he held me tightly, resting his head on my right shoulder. He breathed deeply against me.

"Hurry kids" I heard a woman in the background. "It's going to go"

"James" I pulled away. "I have to get the train"

He nodded and started to walk away. I grabbed his arm. "Hey, I'm here for you okay, contact me"

I never imagined James with a kid, it just didn't seem to fit but he had the potential to be a great dad. I knew underneath he wanted to be a dad he just wasn't sure he was ready to be one. Then there was the fact that the baby might not even be his.

"Everything okay?" Mia asked, flinging an arm around me as I met her on the train before it left.

"James is going through a bit off a crisis, I'm helping him out"

"Okay" The train kicked off and we walked down the train until I saw a mop of blonde hair. Louis. He was sitting in a compartment with a blonde, long-legged friend of his called Drew.

"Where's Moony?" I asked him as me and Mia sat down next to them.

Moony and Louis were best friends, below me and Mia in the popular stakes. Moony and Louis were the only two veela's in the whole school, both intoxicating, loud and bisexual.

"She's on holiday" Drew answered instead. "She don't get back till two weeks in"

"Missing the start of our last year, who does that?" Louis said.

"Moony obviously" Drew shook her head with a smile.

"Our last year" I fumbled through my bag. "And we've come so far"

Mia laughed. "No our last year is going to be our best yet sister"

"You have that right" Louis fist-bumped her.

"And" I got what I wanted out my bag. "What a better way to kick off the year then with this?" I held out four bottles of whisky.

"You've read my mind" Mia said as she took one of the bottles. As I handed the others a bottle each and took a swig of my own, I could hear Luke and the rest of my Hogwarts friends celebrating down the other end of the corridor.

I smiled and leaned back against the seats, raising my bottle high in the air. Here I come Hogwarts, are you ready or not?

Scorpius

"Get up now!" I heard a woman shout in the background. I ignored it, forgetting how unwise that would be but I was tired so I had an excuse.

The water soaked me and holy shit it was freezing cold. I jumped up from the bed and glared at my step-mother as I shivered.

"You know what happens when you don't get up when I say to" She smiled back at me, taking her and the jug she poured over me out my room.

"Is Evan home?" I called out.

"No and don't even think of getting into his bed"

"Darn it" I grumbled to myself and then trudged over to the shower, quickly undressing out of the wet pyjamas and into the warm heat of the water.

I am not long in there before the pounding started on the door. Two bathrooms in a house full of eight was not ideal.

"Hurry the fuck up Scorpius" Langley screamed.

I didn't, I just let him stick it out. When I came out the shower he shoved me into the wall. I shoved him back but he wasn't prepared for it so he landed on the floor.

"You bastard" He charged me, sending both of us barreling into the wall; he hit me in the eye as we went down. As pain exploded in my left eye I hit back at him.

"What the hell do you two think you are doing?" My dad shouted out, storming over to us. "Get up, now"

We both obeyed and Langley rushed for the bathroom but dad caught his arm before he could. "I don't think you're going anywhere, what happened?"

"He took too long in the shower" Langley pointed his finger at me. "Then he shoved me"

"I did not" I shouted. "You shoved into me so I shoved back, then we fell to the ground and then you hit me so I hit back!"

"Langley the shower is not for your personal use, we all share. Do not start a fight over it, do you understand?"

"He hit me first!"

"Did not"

"Did too"

"Stop it" Dad demanded. "I believe Scorpius's point of view-"

"Oh of course, little mister perfect would never lie"

"Give it a rest Langley, anyone with common sense will know never to believe you on anything" He turned to me. "I don't want fighting in this house, understand?"

"Sorry dad"

"Langley?"

"Sorry Draco"

Langley stormed off to the shower and dad came over to me. "Don't fight with him Scorpius. But if he starts a fight with you then you have my permission to fight back with everything you have" He winked.

"I will dad"

"You're last year" Dad shook his head with a smile. "I remember when you were just a little boy going off-"

"Dad please" I stopped him before he started to go on about when I was younger. It was embarrassing.

Dad just laughed. "Okay Scorpius I'll cut a long story short" He placed his hand on my shoulder. "I know I should be saying work hard and revise every day because the qualifications you get will set you for life, but Scorpius this is your last year so have fun with it" He squeezed my shoulder and walked down the hallway.

I returned to my bedroom to get changed for Hogwarts and to finish packing my case.

"Me miss you" Carter jumped up on my bed and threw his arms around me. I lifted him up and he wound his arms tightly around my neck. "Don't leave, please?"

"You know I do"

I moved him to my left hip, holding him with one hand and picked up my trunk with the other.

"No Scorpius wait" Carter's twin sister, Layla ran up to us. "Me ride, me ride"

"Go on then" I told her. Layla grinned and sat on the trunk then I levitated it down the stairs rather fast. She squealed the whole way and clapped her hands. I smiled after her. Layla was cool for a four-year old kid, if she was allowed she would go on all the rides at Thorpe Park and wouldn't even feel the littlest bit sick. She was the most unlike four-year old there was. Carter on the other hand acted his age.

The three of us enter the kitchen where Carter jumps off me and runs to his mom, my step-mother. Cara Clay better known as CC and my dad have been together for five years, ever since the end of my second year at Hogwarts.

It hadn't been much of a shock to me when I got back my second year, to find that my mom had moved in with her boyfriend and CC and her children were living in the house.

My parents had been different ever since I entered Hogwarts when it was just them two at home. I suspected that that they other half's when I came home for Christmas that second year.

I liked CC. I couldn't say I was a fan of her three children she had before she met my dad who were all near the same age as me, but it wasn't like I didn't not like them either. CC despite the fact that she is thirty-eight she looks like she's twenty; she is a lawyer who can be just as tough at home as she is in court, but was also sweet and really easy to have a laugh with, kinda like my dad.

I sat down at the table and accepted the pancakes CC slid to me, dripping them in maple syrup. Yum.

"Thanks" I told her and she nodded in reply, still holding Carter as she flipped pancakes.

"Hey everyone" Meghan sat delicately down at the table, wearing her usual outfit of skinny clothes and a beany hat on her blonde hair. She buried her head in her hands.

"Late night?" I asked.

"You have no idea" She muttered.

"Didn't Skye come back with you?" CC asked her daughter as she gave her some pancakes.

Meghan lifted her head slowly and inhaled the pancakes. "They are too good to pass up" She reached for a knife and fork, I handed her the maple syrup. "Nah Skye went back to her boyfriend's house"

CC nodded and turned back to making pancakes which eventually would bring everyone to the kitchen.

Meghan started to pour the syrup on the pancakes but kept going and going. I reached across and stilled her hand.

"Oh" Her eyes widened in surprise. "Thanks Scorpius"

"No problem, the poor pancakes don't want to be drowned in the sauce"

"Yeah" She looked down at the plate. "Scorpius if you ever get completely fucked-"

"Language" CC chided.

"Remember you're a wizard"

"I will"

"Don't go around encouraging him Meghan" CC said. "Not everyone wants to get off their face, you know?"

"I didn't know that" Meghan said. "I thought everyone tried it once and decided if they wanted to leave it at that one time or not"

CC just shook her head in despair and turned to kiss my dad as he came into the room. Urgh, seeing your parents making out was gross, Meghan totally hung-over was oblivious to it.

Langley came into the room then. "You guys are gross" He exclaimed. "Can't you like keep it in your pants?"

"Sorry Langley we just can't" Dad grinned and CC laughed, winding her arm around his waist and disappearing into the front. Me and Langley both looked away abruptly, sharing a look of utter disgust.

"Oh relax" CC laughed, pushing Draco away from her. "Draco has to take Scorpius to the station. I suggest you kids make yourself sacred when we get back because we want some alone time"

"I can take myself" I said.

"No chance" Dad said grabbing some pancakes for himself. "I want to see you off on the train, there's no problem with that, is there? I know you're seventeen now but every other seventeen year old kid will have their parents waving them off, you going to deny me that?"

"No"

We left in the next half an hour starting a screaming match from Carter. Last year he had come to see me off and screamed the whole station down, making every wizard and witch's eyes drawn to us. That's why this year he didn't come to see me off.

When me and dad got through the barrier Teddy came rushing towards us, enveloping me into a big hug. "My little cousin's all grown up now and in his last year of Hogwarts"

"You'll embarrassing" I took a step back from Teddy and dad making them laugh.

"But Scorpius it's because we love you" Dad joked, I glared at them as they laughed even harder.

"I hate you" I told them and walked away but my dad grabbed my arm before I could. He used to be a seeker at school so he had good reflexes.

"Were sorry" Dad said. "Aren't we Teddy?"

"So, so" Teddy gave me another brief hug and then dad pulled me into one.

"Now go" Dad ordered as the train began to whistle.

"Bye guys" I stepped on the train and went to find my friends. I was walking down the corridor when I came across Mattie Lyford, my best friend. I hugged her. "God I missed you"

"I missed you too" She hugged me tightly then released me.

I didn't get to see Mattie outside of Hogwarts being as she lived in the states. Most people found it weird that she attended Hogwarts rather than the many magic schools in the states, but both of her parents had attended this school so naturally they wanted her to do so as well.

"Where are the others?"

"No idea" She rolled her eyes. We were nearly at the end of the train when the loud voices that had been present from the off, rose higher until we were right outside the compartment from where the voices originated.

"Oh look its Scorpius Malfoy and he's American friend" Miriam Goyle, the complete opposite of her father which meant she was beautiful, smart and a royal bitch. She didn't like me because I, as a Slytherin, was the only one in the house who didn't act like I belonged.

"What do you want Miriam?" I sighed.

"From you Scorpius? There's nothing you have to offer me" She shook her head slowly, I just stared out the window behind her. She always tried to push my buttons but for bitches like her I just wouldn't give in, at least in public. Even then after a while what they said and what they did just went over you and you didn't care anymore.

"Then why are you talking to me?" I asked.

"She's not, I am" Luke Xanderfield's body filled the doorway. Man-whore of the century and a complete ass, he was tall and pumped full of muscle. No-one wanted to pick a fight with him.

"Are you drunk already?" Mattie asked him. "The year hasn't even started yet!"

"And what the hell has that got to do with you?" Luke grasped her wrist tightly. I placed a hand on his arm and pushed him away as Mattie kicked out at him. He stumbled back luckily a friend of his caught him before he lost face.

Me and Mattie just ran until we came past a group of people and slipped into a compartment, as Luke raced past followed by someone else.

"We are so dead" I sank onto the seat.

Mattie laughed. "But you've got to admit that was slightly fun"

"Well yeah, but he's going to be after us when we get to Hogwarts. No-one ever wins a fight with freaking Luke Xanderfield"

"Well that will liven up our year. It's our last year, it's certainly something to kick it off"

"It is that"

Maybe this year I would listen to my dad's advice, I mused with a smile, yes I was going to have fun with this year, ready or not.
