Scorpius sighed. Lily would never understand how he felt. She was his rock, his confident, his princess. He kicked the stones harder as he walked. He knew she loved him, but in a brotherly fashion, which was not enough for him anymore.

He heard light footsteps behind him. Lily shouted his name and he turned around and faced her. She was upset. His heart tingled. He felt a sudden rage towards whoever had made her feel like this. He opened his arms and she went into them willingly. He felt her tears through his t-shirt.

"Lils, what's wrong?" he asked and she sniffed delicately.

"They hate me. Al...Al...Albus called me a whore and his friends all laughed at me with him. He pushed me and knocked me down," she stammered and he knew then that Albus was going to pay for this. He noticed a bruise starting to form on her cheekbone. He stroked it gently and she trembled under his touch. He wiped away her tears.

"Lily Luna Potter, you are not a whore and Albus is just a typical asshole. He is not worth it," he replied and he kissed her. Her almond shaped eyes widened with shock but she kissed him back. He ran his hands through her beautiful auburn hair. When they pulled apart, they were both gasping for breath.

"I love you, Lily, and I have for a long time," he whispered fearing her reaction. She just smiled.

"I love you too, Scorpius Malfoy, and don't you forget it," she smirked and pressed her lips to his.

He wouldn't forget it.
