"I have a great idea."
"Oh, goody."
Cassiopeia and Leo are sitting on the loveseat in their living room, just sitting and snuggling each other and enjoying their last night before they get married — until Cassie perks up with an idea.
"We're not going to get married tomorrow," she announces, grinning at him.
"What?" Leo asks, sitting up. His face is incredulous, which is understandable. "We've spent the last six months planning tomorrow — are you breaking up with me?"
"Oh, no, no, no!" Cassie places an arm on his shoulder, trying for a reassuring smile. "We'll still get married, of course, but what I really want, more than anything, is for Scorpius to stop moping around."
Leo's still giving her a confused look, his eyebrows furrowing and his mouth in a little frown. "I'm not following. At all."
"Listen," she says, now putting both of her hands on his shoulders, "Scorpius is going to get married tomorrow. Not us."
"This is stupid and I hate it," Leo says, shrugging her hands off of him. "What?"
Cassie's silent for a second, thinking. "Okay, how about this: we both get married?" she suggests, turning her palms up. "We need to do something for Scorp. I feel bad that I'm getting married before he even has a girlfriend. Or a boyfriend. Or a friend." Cassie gives him a pleading look, jutting her lip out.
"How about just trying to get him laid? I want to get married at my wedding, please," Leo suggests, his brows still furrowing.
"Okay!" Cassie says, jumping up and heading out to leave. "I have some candidates in mind. I'm going to go send out some invitation."
With a glint in her eyes, Cassie leaves Leo on the loveseat, shaking his head.
"You're crazy," he calls to the doorway she just left through. "I guess that's why I love you."
…
Candidate number one is Lily Potter.
At school, Scorpius was infatuated with her, but she was always out of his reach. They were in rival houses and their families didn't get along so Scorpius eventually gave up. One night, though, when Scorpius was drunk, he admitted that if Lily was down for it, he'd go out with her.
So Lily Potter is candidate number one.
…
Candidate number two is Louis Weasley.
Cassie isn't sure if Scorpius knows Louis but Cassie was friends with him in school and there's one thing she's certain about: Louis was as smitten with Scorpius are Scorpius was with Lily. Cassie hasn't spoken to Louis in a while, but she's hoping that he's still as smitten with Scorpius as he was.
Cassie would love to have Louis in the family, so Louis Weasley is candidate number two.
…
Candidate number three is Albus Potter.
Albus was Scorpius' first everything. He was Scorpius' first friend, his first kiss, his first boyfriend. Their relationship was great for a few years and they really had something, but over the course of their relationship, that something dissipated. They seemed to fight more and more. Everything they once loved about each other started to annoy them.
But even so — Albus Potter is candidate number three.
…
Cassie copies a wedding invitation out onto three different sheets, carefully crafting the invasion so that it looks like Scorpius is inviting her three candidates. She has no idea if any of them will actually come to her wedding, but she's hoping; her brother has been moping around single for far too long.
It was time to get him into a relationship.
