"Ok, Lily. You can do this." a lean girl with strawberry blond hair whispered to herself while running through the school yard. Said girl had the brilliant idea to stay up late the previous night watching the stars which, of course, consisted of her sleeping in (on the Astronomy Tower, may I add). Great idea, really. Now she was late for breakfast on her last day of tests, History of Magic, to top it all. Her uniform was a mess, her tie askew, her socks falling to her ankles and her shoes untied. A great combination for trouble as she knew Filch was patrolling the grounds with his (ahem)"almighty" cane. Definitely a great ending to her third year.

Taking a sharp turn, she pushed a tapestry aside and entered the secret tunnel lading towards the Great Hall. Right before she entered with her shoes on her hands, she heard someone calling her name.

"Potter" the drawling voice of the last person she wanted to see caught her attention."In a hurry, much?" Lily span around to look at the boy and quickly regretted her action once she noticed how close they were. She could see the light specks of blue in his grey orbs and notice that his robes were a little too tight, showing the newly acquired muscles he got from Quidditch practice. Suddenly, she became awfully aware of how hot it was.

"Getting in the way, much?" she snapped back, trying to conceal the slight flush on her cheeks. Because Lily Potter does not blush. Ever. The blond got closer and grabbed her tie, evoking a loud exclamation from the girl "Hey!What are you doing, Malfoy?"

"Tidying you up. Don't want all your brothers to think that we were together doing something. You see, they wouldn't let their precious baby sister be alone with the big bad Malfoy." he answered simply buttoning the last buttons of her shirt and tying the knot on her tie.

"Don't flatter yourself, Malfoy." she replied before turning her head away from him.

"Come on, Potter. Do you really think your brothers would like if we were up to something? I mean, you surely know what I'm talking about, with all the children you Weasleys seem to have, I'm sure someone must have explained?" done with her tie he got down on his knees bringing her shoes with him and started to pull her socks up before sliding her shoes on "Or maybe I should demonstrate?" he asked, wiggling his eyebrows at her from the ground.

"Ha, you wish." she replied simply snorting in a most unladylike way, refraining herself from kicking him in the shin and running away. Her brothers did often comment on her lack of self-control and explosive temperament. The blond turned his head up and looked at Lily before his smirk intensified.

"Nice view"

So much for self-control.

The girl kicked him in the shin before turning around to walk into the Great Hall, but as soon as her back turned to him, the bell rang signaling the students to be in their respective classrooms. Deciding against using the stairs which were clustered with students, she turned back to the portrait she had previously left, sending a nasty look to the boy before entering the tunnel.

"Hey, where are you going? I thought you had History of Magic." he asked suddenly, surprising her that he was still there.

"Why are you following me? Don't you have anything better to do, like harass some innocent girl or something?" she ignored his question, picking up her pace. They got out of the tunnel trough the tapestry and turned left.

"Hey, it's not harassment if they want to be bothered!" he exclaimed, trying to ignore the way the sway of her hips made him feel and failing miserably. He was still limping from the kick in the shin. "I'm just curious, now answer the question." they turned right and stopped suddenly in front of a picture of a ballerina who smiled at Lily.

"Quiet as a butterfly, light as a feather" she said to the portrait who winked at the blond behind her before the wall supporting it disappeared, leaving the portrait hanging on thin air. The girl ducked it and entered the dark, damp tunnel, rolling her eyes at the portrait. "I'm taking a shortcut, since you decided to make me late for all that matters, Perverted Alien."

"Oh, so now I'm a Perverted Alien?" replied the blond trying to conceal his amazement. "Care to explain?" They kept walking through the tunnel until Lily tapped the wall to her right with her wand and a door appeared, leading to the hallway of the First Floor, where the History of Magic tests were being taken.

"Only an Alien would say such things to an innocent girl." she said before turning to him."You're going to be late, Perv." she said smirking at his unbelieving face. His features gave away the amazement he felt towards the girl only for a second before he regained his nonchalant stance and smirked again, trying to keep his eyes on hers instead of, erm, her lower body parts. Leaning his arm on the wall right besides her he said in a way he hoped would be charming, but came out a bit demanding.

"You could show me the fastest way to get to where I need to be, oh so innocent girl."

"So, that's it? You make me late and still want me to do you a favor?" she asked, crossing her arms underneath her still developing chest (thank you, Merlin. he thought) and cocking an eyebrow at the blond.

"Great, we are on the same page now." he said laughing at her exasperated expression, watching as she slowly narrowed her eyes in a suspicious way.

"What is in it for me, Malfoy?" a lot of things went through his mind, but he decided against saying something he would later regret.

"Anything you want"

Merlin, why did he have to be so stupid?

He had to refrain himself from face slapping when he saw the (almost evil) glint in her eyes. Yep, he was definitely going to regret that later. So long, wizarding society. Scorpius Malfoy was a dead man.

"Is that so?" she asked caressing a non existing beard. "Very well. You have yourself a deal, Alien." she finally said offering her hand to him which he took warily. He couldn't help but notice how soft her hand was and how it seemed to fit perfectly in his. Shaking these thoughts away he let go of her hand and waited for the directions. "Take the next left and poke the lord with the funny wig's belly, follow the path and when you het out, there will be a red tapestry, enter and you'll be on the hallway you want." with one final glance at the boy, she pressed the wall behind her that disappeared instantly and left.

"I guess I'll see you around, then." she heard him say before the wall reappeared.

So, this is it! I finally managed to post this, after five tries in which my computer broke down, I was almost giving up but this plot bunny wouldn't leave me alone! So yeah, any questions let me know... I was going to make this longer but for the sake of my sanity (or what is left of it, anyway) I decided to keep it short. Let me know what you guys think! Happy New Year everyone!
