Scorpius Malfoy always had a way of getting himself into trouble. His friendship with Al, Rose and Lily probably had a lot to do with it.

Albus Potter had been his best friend right from day one, sitting down next to him at the Slytherin table after their sorting, being the first person to actually talk to him without yelling an insult. Naturally, he quickly became close friends to the whole of the Potter and Weasley children, but became especially close with Al's sister Lily and Al's favourite cousin, Rose would never admit this fact out loud, however, for he would face certain death from the army of Wealsey cousins in Hogwarts with them.

Throughout their Hogwarts years, the quartet had caused their fair share of grief to Mr Flich, Mrs Norris the Third and Headmaster Flitwick with their pranks. Despite their unfortunate habit of causing havoc wherever they went, Scorpius and Rose were both made prefects in their 5th year. This didn't stop them from having fun, however, as they quickly realised how to use their new found responsibility to pull off pranks, like placing traps and dungbombs around the castle during their prefect rounds.

Now in their 6th year, Lily in her 4th, the quartet still were planning pranks and plotting trouble for Flich and 'his bloody cat', but had agreed that they would start to devote less time to their trouble making in order to actually focus on their studies, Lily for her OWLs and the other three for their NEWTs.

The quartet, despite reducing their troublemaking, were still very close. They confided in everything with each other, and as they were sat one night in the Slytherin common room, they were discussing their magic outbursts as children.

"Well," started Al, "We both went to a Muggle Primary school under the insistence of dad, where we both got into far too much trouble. Mum eventually pulled us both out and home schooled us when I was 9 and Lils was 7 as the 'incidents', as the school called them, happened far too often. My favourite outburst from me had to be when I suddenly was sat on top of the stationary cupboard in the corner. Poor Miss Bradshaw was very confused by that. But the best magic outburst I think was Lils" he laughed again.

"Albus, are you talking about the vanishing thing?" Lily tried to keep a straight face.

"She managed to vanish the clothes of some boys who'd been bullying her for being weird" he laughed, "and then whenever they were mean to her after that their shoes would vanish as a warning. They soon left her alone" Al grinned. Scorpius and Rose both sat there laughing.

"So what about your outbursts?" Lily asked, trying to change the conversation.

"Well, I was also sent to muggle primary" Rose said, "and my worst and funniest outburst had to be during our swimming lessons when I was 8. This evil boy in my class pushed me underwater in the deep end knowing that I didn't like swimming, and he was determined to keep me under, except that I possibly conjured an octopus to attack him" Rose laughed. "Needless to say, no one swam near me again" she said as she saw Al howling with laughter.

Scorpius took his turn next. "Well, my worst one was probably the first one I had when I was 4. I was playing with my sister at the time…"

"Wait, you have a sister?" Al asked, surprised.

"Not anymore" Scorpius frowned. He looked around to see all three of his friends staring at him, so he continued. "I had a sister who was two years younger than me. She looked really similar to me and was called Lyra" he said solemnly. "But one day when we were out shopping in Diagon Alley when I was 5, Lyra was taken." This drew gasps from all his friends. "We tried everything, but we never found her" a small tear slipped from his eye. He hastily rubbed it away, but he knew they'd noticed it.

"Oh Scorp, we never knew!" Rose said, moving closer to him on the sofa and hugging him. Lily also moved over to him to give him a hug. "So she's been missing for 11 years?"

"Yeah. Both Mum and Dad have given up on finding her now" he explained. "I'd like to hope that she's alive, but all we have left of her now is a few photos."

"Scorp, do you have a photo of her here?" Lily asked.

"Yeah, I have one inside my trunk. It was the last photo that was taken before she disappeared" Scorpius said.

"Could we see it?" Lily asked. Al elbowed her in the ribs.

"Lils, don't be so nosy"

"It's fine, I'll go get it for you" Scorpius smiled, "I'm kinda surprised I never told you guys in the first place" he said as he went into his dorm to get the photo.

"I never knew Scorp had a sister, it's so sad that she was taken" Lily murmured.

"I know this probably sounds impossible, but if we sent a copy of this picture to your dad, do you reckon he could get someone to create a picture of her if she was 14?" Rose said thoughtfully.

"And then see if we can find her?" Al asked. "That'd be so hard. We'd have to get the ministry involved."

"Well, we can always see if dad could search the ministry data base for someone who looks similar?" Lily suggested.

"That sounds like a possible idea" Rose agreed, "but I think we shouldn't tell Scorpius. What if he gets his hopes up and we don't find anything?" she said in response to Al's confused face.

"Here it is" Scorpius said a few seconds later as he walked across from the dorms. Rose, Lily and Al leant in to look closely. The picture showed a smiling baby girl sat on a much younger version of Scorpius' lap. The girl's face was practically identical to Scorpius', except a bit more feminine, and had long blonde hair that fell in gentle waves down to just below her shoulders.

"She's beautiful" Rose smiled, looking at the picture.

"I know" Scorpius said sadly. Rose took the photo out of Scorpius' hands and laid it in her lap. As she did this, Lily turned Scorpius' face towards hers, pretending that Scorpius had a mark on his face and she was rubbing it off. In that time, Rose quickly duplicated the photo, shrunk it and put it in her pocket. She then handed it back to her best friend before hugging him.

"It must have been so hard for you, losing your sister like that" she muttered.

"It's always there in the back of my mind, wondering what happened" Scorpius admitted, "but I guess I'll never really know what happened" he said, looking back at the picture in his hand.

A minute later, the bell rang signalling that it was 5 minutes before curfew. Rose said a quick goodbye, giving each of her cousins a hug and giving Scorpius a light kiss on the cheek before she quickly ran out the door to get to Gryffindor tower. Lily also then stood up, hugged Scorpius and Al explaining that she was going to bed, before disappearing into the girls dorms.

Later that night, Scorpius carefully put the picture of Lyra on his bedside table in an everlast-frame. He fell asleep that night dreaming about a sister that he believed to be long lost.

A/N: Hello! New story, I know, impressive! I plan to update relatively quickly with this one, as I've written half of it already and saved it back! Just thought I'd clear up houses though:
