It was November and Scorpius was still guessing my name. He didn't even know my last name despite his best efforts.

The only thing he knew was my house because he had seen me in the common room a month ago.

"Lily." Ginger prods me with her finger.

My head snapps up. "Huh?"

"Are you going to try out for the Slytherin Quidditch team?" Dom asks, flipping her almost silver hair over her shoulder. Damn those awsome Veela genes.

"James thinks I should. Albus doesn't." I respond.

"Albus doesn't want you to cause then our team will lose." Ginger looks up from her charms homework.

"I know. I will try out. Scorpius might end up knowing my name though. He's on the team." I muse and Dom grins.

"You know that I can tell the teensiest crush from a mile away." Dom looks at me.

"I know. You told me in our second year." I say.

"SHE IS TALKING ABOUT YOU!" Ginger yells at me. A couple people from the Gryffindor common room look at us then look away.

"Me? I don't like anyone." I say. I'm pretty sure that's true.

"Liar." Dom replies.

"Not."

"Are too."

"Are not"

"Oh, sweet Merlin. Shut up!" A voice interrupts and I see Rose standing behind us with her hand trying to comb her hair itself.

Ginger moans.

"What are you arguing about anyway?" Rose put her hands on her hips.

"Quidditch." I quickly reply and Dom nods.

"What's happening?" Rose asks.

"I am going to try out for Slytherin team." I tell her.

"That's great. The team might actually have a chance now." Rose says. That, I find, is really offensive to my house.

"Hey. Not nice." I scrunch up my nose.

I humphed as she didn't reply.

"I'm going to bed." Ginger announces as she packs up her notebooks and slips them into her bag.

I stand up. "Yeah. I have to go back to my common room."

I wave goodbye as I walk out of the Gryffindor common room and into the Slytherin one in the dungeons.

It was empty but there was one familiar head sitting by the fire.

I walked closer and sat down on the other person side.

"Hey, Flower." the boy says softly.

I want to tell him my name but instead I just say, "what's wrong, Scorpius?"

"My dad." Scorpius mutters as he gathers his knees to himself.

"What happened?" I whisper.

"He...he..." Scorpius trails off and drops his head onto his knees. He starts shaking and I know he's crying.

I scoot closer and side-hug him as he cries.

After a while, his cries turn into rackety breaths. Eventually, he lifts his head and his silver eyes have red rims from crying.

"Sorry. I didn't want you to see me this way." Scorpius breathes.

I nod and rest my head on his shoulder. "Do you want to tell me what happened?"

"My dad. He was in a car crash. And in a coma." Scorpius whispers hoarsely.

"Oh, Scorpius. I am so sorry." I realize my arm is still around his shoulder and I pull it back instantly.

Then I look up and see his face mere centimeters away from mine. I look into his silver eyes and he leans a tiny bit closer.

Half of my brain was telling me to close the space between us but the other side was yelling to me about Rose and how she would feel.

I fall on my back and crawl backwards.

"I'm sorry. I cant do this." I say and I run into my dorm room.

I don't sleep that night. I lay awake thinking about what Dom had said. Maybe she was right.

Chapter two is up. As you see, I needed a nice Scorpius. I still like Lily a lot. The moment I am writing these words (not the moment I post them) I should be sleeping and i'm exhausted but i'm writing. I'm writing for whoever might read this. Please read and review it.
