I forgot to put the disclaimer last chapter so here it is. Sadly, I do not own Harry Potter or the characters.

Scorpius was sitting in on the porch with a strange look Lily couldn't quite identify. She ducked behind a tree so he wouldn't see her while she studied him. He was quite handsome. Everything about him was light from his silver blonde hair to his light gray eyes. Not like Teddy who had darker features, like brown eyes and although his hair was always changing its natural color was the same dark brown as his eyes. Even Scorpius' tanned skin had a light feel to it, almost like an angel. Immediately Lily felt foolish for comparing him to an angel. He was sitting there in a dark gray sweater and black slacks, simple but tasteful. He began standing up as if to go inside and she didn't know why but she stepped out from behind the tree to stop him.

"Hi," She said a bit sheepishly. "I'm sorry if I'm interrupting something."

He smirked as he put his hands in his pockets. It was too dark for him to see Lily, just her outline. "And what would you be interrupting exactly?"

"Your thoughts?" He moved to sit back down gesturing for her to do the same. She slowly took the seat next to him making sure to give enough space between them. "I know it can be noisy in there with all of them," she motioned to her home. "And I personally like to get away to think sometimes, so maybe that's what I was interrupting."

He looked at her for a moment, his gray eyes boring into hers. They seemed to darken, only a little. "Actually I was wondering where you went off to."

This surprised Lily. "Really? Why?"

"Well you seemed a little upset through dinner, and I was just hoping you were ok."

She shifted in her seat, uncomfortable at the fact that he could see through her façade so clearly. "Well I've had a few things on my mind lately" She stated evasively. He didn't take the hint and continued speaking on the subject.

"And what would those things be? Troubles with a boy?"

She rolled her eyes, Teddy was definitely not a boy. "Something like that."

"Whoever he is, just forget him. He's not worth your time. You should be with someone who appreciates you." He turned to face her, his expression serious.

"I wish it was that easy." She didn't know why she was telling him so much, it just felt nice getting it all out.

"Were you together long?"

"It's complicated." She let out a sigh. "It was never supposed to be serious. We were close friends, really close. And one day we kissed. So the next day we kissed again, and that became sort of regular for us. Then one day I told him how I've always felt, only to find out that he never cared." She could feel the tears forming and tried to blink them back. Scorpius moved to put his armed around her, which did a little to comfort her. "He said I am too young to be in love, and that he never meant to let it go so far." Despite her efforts to bite back the tears they came. She leaned into him, partly trying to hide the tears and partly because he smelled so good. He smelled like spearmint and sunlight, if sunlight had a scent. She found it odd that she was upset over Teddy and thinking about Scorpius' scent at the same time. After a moment she pulled back to see that Scorpius' face was calculating.

"What?" she asked.

"I just have a questioned." He paused with an eyebrow arched before continuing. "You said he told you that you were too young?" Lily nodded and she could see him trying to figure something out and she realized as his face transformed to recognition that he knew. He knew she was talking about Teddy. His face was a mixture of anger and surprise as he stared at Lily.

"Scorpius," she pleaded. "Its not what you think." She could feel the panic rising in her chest.

"Teddy? Really Lily?" His voice was not full of anger, but curiosity. He turned his gaze from Lily to the darkness of the night in front of him.

"Yes. But you can't tell my family. Please Scorpius. My parents see Teddy as a son, and I can't be responsible for any anger between them." Her voice was full of desperation. She tried to look him in the eyes, but he was looking intently at something in front of them.

"I wont say anything, but just tell me," he shifted to look at her again "is it over?"

"Yes it is. I promise."

"Good." He looked at her a moment longer before turning back to stare into the night.

They were quiet for a short time before Lily broke the silence. "I know what your thinking," she stated accusingly.

"Oh? And what would that be?" He turned to smirk at her, which she found irritating.

"That the age difference is too big. But in truth I am more compatible with him than boys my age."

His expression softened. "How do you know, Lily?" She couldn't hold his gaze. His eyes were too powerful, and she found herself drawn to his smirk, or maybe it was his lips in general. She looked down reminding herself who she was with. He put his hand under her chin and gently lifted her face to his. He spoke with almost a whisper when he continued. "Have you ever tried to date someone closer to your age?"

She couldn't breath, let alone speak. Their faces were inches apart, and she knew all she had to do was lean forward to feel his soft lips on hers. "No," she breathed out.

He gently released her face and leaned back. "Well maybe you should." He shrugged casually.

"Yeah, maybe." Her head was still spinning and she could still smell his minty scent.

"We should probably get inside. It's cold out here. Not to mention I'm sure your parents are wondering where we both are." He got up and reached for her hand to help her up.

"You're probably right." She took his offer to help her and her hand instantly felt like it was on fire. She wasn't sure if he could feel the fire their contact had caused, but he had a strange expression on his face. He dropped her hand and she felt it go cold. They walked up the steps slowly before opening the door.

"There you are!" Ginny smiled. She looked back and forth between the two of them with a meaningful smile. Lily's brothers and father on the other hand seemed not to have noticed their absence. They were clearly debating Quidditch rules and teams. Teddy was sitting on a chair in the living room by the fire enthralled in a book. His head shot up when he heard Ginny speak. His eyes found Lily and Scorpius and glared at them.

Albus turned to them when he heard his mother speak. "Oh hey Scor, maybe you can settle this for us." He waved Scorpius over. He lightly caressed the side of Lily's face that was rosy from the cold outside before going to join the conversation with his best friend and co workers. Ginny seemed to notice the gesture and was smiling uncontrollably. Teddy had also seen it, but was glaring even harder in their direction, and his glare followed Scorpius who seemed unaware. Lily stayed in the room for a little longer, before yawning and deciding to head up to bed. She hugged and kissed both of her parents before heading up to her room, and hugged both of her brothers.

"Well sis," James squeezed her into a hug, "Have a good trip back to Hogwarts and have some fun for once!" He smiled mischievously.

She rolled her eyes, "Of course!"

Albus then engulfed her in a hug. "I'll miss you. Study hard and do well on your NEWTS, so you can work with me."

"I will." She squeezed him a little tighter. She loved her brothers equally, but her and Albus had always been closer. They were both sorted into houses other than Gryffindor unlike the rest of their family.

"I wish I could go with you to the train station tomorrow, but I'll see you on Christmas break." He released her from the hug, but held onto her shoulders. "Don't forget to write."

"I wont, promise."

"It was really nice to see you Scorpius." She said as he got up and walked toward her. He smiled sweetly.

"I enjoyed talking to you and spending time with you," he spoke quietly. "Have a good time at Hogwarts." He gave her a quick hug and sat back down.

"Goodnight Teddy," She said a bit more stiffly than she had intended. He got up to give her a hug, which had wanted to avoid. He wrapped his arms around her waste and pulled her in tightly to him. He was warmer than she had remembered and she relished in the feel of being so close to him.

"Goodnight Lily flower." He whispered into her ear. She could feel his hot breath and struggled out of the hug more awkwardly than she had intended. She rushed up to her room and shut the door tightly before getting ready for bed.

I would just like to thank the two reviewers, bets2010 and SnowflakeBeautiful. This is my first story, so I am a little nervous, and I really appreciate the support. I am a huge LilyScor fan, so that should give a hint as to where this is going.
