"Lils!" Roxy called for her cousin from the kitchen as she grinned while pouring her female cousins (minus Victoire and Lucy) another glass of champagne. It had become a bit of a ritual after Lily had graduated from Hogwarts when she and Roxy had moved into a flat in the city together.

"Coming!" Lily called before putting a smile on her face and stepping into the kitchen after closing the balcony door behind her. "So, is Molly drunk yet?" She giggled as Roxy screwed up her face in an 'are you joking me' look.

"Plastered. She'll be staying on the couch again tonight or Uncle Percy 'll have our heads. I swear, you'd think he still considered us all underage with the way he acts." She began levitating the tray with glasses as she spoke. "I mean bloody hell. You're the youngest of us; and even you're twenty-two..." She shook her head as she rolled her eyes before grinning at the rest of the girls gathered in the living room. "Look who I found!" Roxy called as Molly's face lit up and she stumbled forward to hug Lily.

"Aww, my wee wittle Willy!" Molly giggled as she hugged her baby cousin affectionately, sloshing her drink as she did so. "We were just talking 'bout sex." She nodded with a smile as Dominique snickered before Molly fell back onto the couch beside her. "I was saying how Graham Avery is actually quite good at it." She nodded causing Roxy to snigger.

"Considering you just accepted to marry the bloke, I'd say that's a good thing." Dominique smirked as Molly laughed and nodded her head.

"When is this wedding going to be anyways?" Roxy grinned as she gave Rosie a mischievous glance. "I just love hearing the stories about Uncle Percy when he has to spend a load of money on something. He's such a cheapie. I mean you'd think we were all poor or something. Investments this pensions that…"

"There's nothing wrong with being frugal." Rose sniffed the air, a little miffed at the slight – knowing her cousins often thought of her as the cheapskate. "Investments and pensions are serious matters to consider…" Her brow ruffled in an upset manner as Molly let out a groan.

"Oh, shut it! Will you two?" Molly moved her hands so that they looked as if they were talking to one another. "I get so tired of hearing Dad and Luce on about this stuff. I don't need you two spouting off too." She didn't notice Rose's hurt expression or Roxy's smug smirk.

"Well said!" Dom grinned as she held her glass up. "This is a girls' night. To everything silly and fun!" She grinned as Lily, Molly, and Roxy clinked their glasses against hers – Rose lagging behind a bit.

Rose nodded along with it before her eyes landed on Lily and a sudden thought came to her. "Hey! Lily, how did that date with Isaac Creavy go?" A hopeful smile crept onto Rose's face as Roxy snorted into her champagne glass.

"That bad, eh?" Dom shook her head and shrugged as she sipped down her drink.

Molly snorted as she poured more wine into her cup. "He's a Creavy, Dom. How did you expect that date to turn out?! They're bloody weird." She shivered with a disgusted expression as Rose frowned.

"Lucy married a Creavy." Rose frowned as she gave Molly a significant look.

"Oh tosh! I don't give a fig what ole Lucifer does in her personal life; and just because she married one doesn't mean they're normal. I mean, she's a bloody nag – you'd have to have a few loose screws to tie yourself to her. Besides he's an absolute bore!" Her voice drug on as she said the word 'bore' in an excessively drug-out manner. "I mean who would actually marry a Creavy if they had a choice?" Molly waved her hand haphazardly as Rose's jaw dropped.

Lily couldn't help but feel a guilty expression creep onto her face as she shrugged. "Well, I suppose it's like Molly just said. He's a Creavy...and instead of getting the boring end of the stick he's gotten the loony end of the stick."

"He asked her if he could sniff her!" Roxy's expression was exasperated before Dom shuddered and Molly choked on her drink spraying it across the room.

"He what?" Rose's voice was prim and disbelieving as she looked at her younger cousin in shock.

"And when I said no…He lifted up my hair and did it anyways. Right in the middle of the restaurant." Lily shook her head as her cheeks burned pink. "It was humiliating."

"I hate to say it, but I tried to warn you off. He's always been a creepy bloke." Dom turned to see Rose frowning. "Sorry Rose, but that's always been the case."

"Well…there are always more fish in the sea and all that." Molly offered unhelpfully as a morose expression crossed Lily's face.

"Yeah!" Dom smiled comfortingly as she hugged Lily. "And what fish wouldn't want you? You're an international supermodel and you're funny and kind to boot!" She smiled as Lily closed her eyes.

"Scorpius didn't." Her voice was quiet as her cousins looked at each other in surprise. After the breakup, Lily rarely spoke his name – especially not sober. And she had most certainly not shared her grief or emotions with any of her cousins. Scorpius was a taboo topic. "I'm sorry. I think I'm just going to turn in early tonight. I don't feel very well." She exited the room as her cousins remained silent until Lily's bedroom door shut.

"Way to go, Dom!" Rose rolled her eyes with a frown as she stood. "I should check on her."

"Don't!" Roxy frowned as Rose slowly lowered herself into her chair. "Knowing Lily, do you think she really wants to share her pain about an incident that she hasn't said a word about since it happened years ago when she never shared details about her relationship period?" Roxy sighed as she sat back. "Sides, it's not Dom's fault. I don't think she's over him."

"I don't think you do get over that kind of love…" Molly commented in a soft voice as the cousins drank in silence.

Lily attempted to block out her cousins' words as tears fell down her cheeks; and she closed her eyes. She couldn't understand why after all of these years she still couldn't get over Scorpius Malfoy. He was just a boy…a silly childhood crush…the boy who held her first everything…a boy she had trusted…her best friend. Molly's words reverberated through her head causing her to push past the memories and emotions she felt to open her balcony door again and sit outside as the cool air whipped her hair around…

Scorpius stared up at his childhood home for a moment, letting the brisk fall air whip his hair and turn his cheeks pink. He rarely stayed in England, preferring to avoid the people and memories here. Over the past few years he had immersed himself almost completely in expanding the family business abroad. However, he had finally found that the things that you're hiding from don't go away – no matter how far you run or how busy you stay. He smiled as he walked towards the large wooden doors, the gravel scraping and crunching under the weight of him. He was finally home.

She grinned as she caught sight of her son in the drive; and she was opening the door before he had a chance to pull the bell. "Oh, Scorpius! We've missed you so much!" She hugged him tightly as she pulled him into the entrance. "It's nice to have you home, sweets." Astoria kissed her son's cheek as a house elf took his coat. She clasped her hands as Scorpius let out a chuckle and she observed him. "I don't think you've been eating enough…" Her eyes twinkled as he laughed harder.

"I've missed you too, Mum." He smiled as he hugged his Mum once more. He held onto her just a little bit longer, reminding her of when he was a small boy. The smell of orchids and berries assaulted his senses and the warmth of the house made him relax – he had forgotten how easy it was to be happy here.

"Astoria!" Narcissa's sharp voice called as her smile gave her teasing away. "Stealing Scorpius all to yourself again?" She raised her eyebrow as Astoria laughed and Draco smiled as he wrapped an arm around her, appearing out of nowhere. Narcissa's piercing gaze moved to Scorpius as he smiled languidly at her. "And you, young man. Where have you been? Off tromping all over the continent. Hmpf!" Her nose rose into the air in irritation as Scorpius crossed the floor and hugged her.

"I've missed you, Grandmum." He smiled as she finally hugged him back before pulling away.

"Yes, well you had better be staying this time." She smirked at her son before looking back at her cherished grandson. "Broken hearts aren't mended so easily for one my age after all."

"Please…you're healthy as a hipogriff!" Scorpius smirked over at his father knowingly as Astoria and Narcissa snickered.

"Oh! There's our boy!" Narcissa beamed, truly happy to see that the grandson she knew was back. "Off with you before your Father decides to defend his senseless boyhood actions. I think we've all heard that tale enough." She smiled as Draco rolled his eyes good naturedly at their ribbing. In truth he was just glad to have his son home. "Your bedroom is made up. And dinner is in fifteen minutes sharp." She smiled as she stood with her son and daughter-in-law as Scorpius ascended the stairs and disappeared off to his bedroom.

"I think he might actually stay longer than a week this time…" Astoria's voice was hopeful as Draco squeezed her shoulder and Narcissa nodded stiffly.

Scorpius looked around the room that he had called his own his entire childhood. Not much had changed since he was seventeen. The walls were a glittering emerald green; and silver curtains were drawn back to reveal French doors that led to a balcony on the wall opposite his bed. His old medals and trophies were still displayed; and the desk in the corner still held the same book he had left there last time. He peered at the mantle to see that even the pictures of Adora, Lily, and himself were untouched. It was a time warp that while he was ready to face still had a suffocating effect. He shook his head looking away from a photo of Lily and himself to make his way onto the balcony. He leaned against the wrought iron with a heavy sigh as he looked for the moon – a comforting reminder that somewhere out in the world Lily Luna was still alive and vibrant. However, tonight the moon was hidden behind heavy clouds that were sure to forecast rain…

Lily looked out into the bright London night sky for something she knew she wouldn't find. There were no stars in the sky tonight…And the stars she searched for never seemed to be present. She sighed before making her way back into her room, pulling the curtains closed against the night sky as she lay in her bed – thoughts racing through her mind. She told herself that tonight was a one-off – that tomorrow she'd be able to pretend she didn't care, that tonight's weakness had never happened.

PREVIEWS: IMPORTANT *** It should be noted that the following are scenes/teasers from multiple and different chapters of the sequel. The scenes don't all go together/flow obviously – they're not meant to. These are simply meant to tease you and entice you to continue reading. =)

"Hey Lily." Harry smiled with a surprised yet sleepy smile as he stood to hug his daughter. They had all been at the Ministry Ball earlier that night; and he hadn't expected his daughter to show up at her childhood home, not that he wasn't happy to see her because he certainly was. "Is everything okay?" He frowned as he finally noticed her hurt expression and the way she tensed as he hugged her.

"I know what you did." Lily's voice was on the edge of hysteria, somewhere between hot anger and intense tears, as she watched her father's face pale and his expression change rapidly. "How could you!" Her eyes were ablaze with fire as she stood glaring up at her father as he leaned against the fireplace in the Potter home-office shell-shocked. She felt her body tremble with rage and an engrained sadness. All of those emotions, those feelings about an event that she couldn't wrap her head around at the time that it had happened, surfaced and finally as things became clearer she felt more betrayed then she could've ever imagined.

"Lily…" Harry's voice was laced with a sort of stern apathy as his daughter backed away from him, a disgusted expression on her face as she shook his hand off harshly.

"Don't even. You couldn't possibly ever say anything to make this situation better." She shook her head as angry tears began to spill onto her cheeks.

"What's going on in here?" Ginny appeared in the doorway in her house robe as she looked at her upset husband and teary-eyed daughter. "Harry?" She looked at her silent husband a moment before realizing that he couldn't or wouldn't respond. "Lily? What is it, dear?" As she went to place a comforting hand on her daughter's arm, Lily backed away shaking her head clearly distraught.

"Why don't you ask him? Apparently he can voice everything for me better than I ever could for myself." She shook her head before brushing past her mother and leaving her childhood home without a second glance.

"I'm getting married!" Roxy squealed excitedly as she pushed her engagement ring into her favorite cousin's face.

"Ahh!" Lily squealed happily as she took Roxy's hand examining the ring. "He finally proposed!" She couldn't help the large grin that covered her face as she hugged Roxy tightly as they jumped around in elation.

"Ten galleons to the person that finds someone to go home with first?" Albus raised an eyebrow with a smile as Dom smirked and Fred grinned, both nodding.

"Be prepared to pay up, boys." Dom smirked as she flipped her perfect blonde hair over her shoulder, a brilliant smile making its way onto her face.

"Whatever Veela." Fred joked with a cocky grin. "We have that Weasley charm on our side." He smirked as Albus chuckled before leaving the two to their banter so that he could get an uneeded head start…

"I just wish that they were happy…" Astoria sighed as she looked into her vanity mirror, her husband massaging her shoulders softly from behind.

Draco nodded before pulling away with a teasing smirk. "I'm just happy I'm not the one that royally messed things up. One for Draco, none for…"

"Shush!" Astoria couldn't help the amused expression that crossed her face as she spun to face her husband. "That's horrible to hold a competition like that."

"Only if you're the loser…" He joked as she shook her head before pulling them towards their bed.

"Lily?" Scorpius couldn't keep the shock from his voice as he came across his one-time-love in the library of his parents' home.

"Scorpius…" She knew that she shouldn't be shocked to see him here of all places, but for some reason she was. "…How are you?" She played with the corner of the book she had been holding as she took in his appearance. He looked much the same as he had the last time she saw him…but this time a feeling very different than the one she had experienced the last time surfaced in the pit of her stomach and heart.

"Alright, I suppose…Busy with work and all." He pulled at his suddenly very tight tie uncomfortably as she nodded.

"Yeah. Your Father told me that…" She bit her lip as she stared at the man that physically didn't look so different from the boy that had stolen heart years ago…

Author's Note: For those of you that are returning readers of mine, thank you for the support! I look forward to posting this new story; and I hope you maintain interest.

For those of you that are first time readers of my stories, please check out my page! If you liked this first "sneak peak" of a chapter, then I think you'd really enjoy some of my other stories (including the ones in this series)! I love recieving reviews; and I always answer them. However, I don't pm a response to you. Instead at the end of each chapter I have an "in response" section where I put each user's screenname and reply to their responses. (I'm very busy so this is about all I have time for.) In addition, as I said earlier, I don't have a beta. For that reason there will be some spelling/grammar errors. However, I will not change them because I don't have the time. So I'd appreciate you not mentioning them in your reviews.

Thank you so very much! I can't wait to hear your initial thoughts! For any questions, pm me. =)
