'Dear my Scorpius,

I haven't got too much trouble yet. Dad doesn't know anything about this yet, but I'm sure he'll understand--at least better than Uncle Ron would ever do.

I miss you too, and it's been kinda lonely without you, although James and Albus kept me company. I hope your dad doesn't hurt you or anything, and I hope your mum comes back soon. I can't wait to get this over with. I'm not scared, and I appreciate the heads up.

My holiday have been awesome so far. What about yours?

I better start on those ink erasers. (It's erasers, Scorpius, not earsers.)

Love, Lily who will never forget you'

I wrote back to him as soon as I got hold of my quill and a piece of parchment, and I guess he did too, because he sent back a reply just a little too soon.

'Dear Lily sweetheart,

I sure hope your dad understands. To be honest, I don't think I can defeat him in a battle, and I don't want to. But don't tell my friends that.

I hope James and Albus accepts me soon too, though Albus and I had exchanged a few 'hello's and 'goodbye's.

Mum told me she'll be back in two days, I think I'll go to your house to pick you up and finally meet your dad. Is it okay?

I know you're not scared, but it won't stop me from pretending you are. I need someone to protect.

My holiday have been suckish… nothing to do. But I know it will be the best holiday so far--once you come over.

Oh earsers, erasers… whatever. Doesn't matter.

Love, Scorpius who wishes a reply as soon as possible.'

"Mum!" I ran down the stairs and collided with James and Albus who are, yet again, trying out all the spells in uncle Fred and George's old notebook.

"Oi, Lily!" James said while chuckling.

"Be careful." Albus winked. My eyes widen, what else have they not done yet?

"Mum!" I shook the thought of all the things my brothers had done in such a young age when I saw mum.

"Yes, dear?" She looked up from her work.

"Mom," I stopped in front of her. "Scorpius is coming over." I whispered, and I just know Albus at least flinched.

"Well, will be good to finally meet him properly." Mum said. I sometimes wonder how she always handle everything professionally.

"Is it?" My face is full of doubt.

"Are you questioning your boyfriend?" Mum said the last word in a sarcastic whisper. "Or even worse, are you questioning your mother?" She raised her eyebrows, and I had to gave in by smiling and saying an 'okay'.

"I'll go and tell him then." I retreated to the stairs. "Through Owl Post I mean." I added after seeing my mum's reaction.

I saw my Owl flew out the window with my letter clutched safely in his claws, and then immediately curl up on my bed-- it has been an oddly tiring day.

I couldn't sleep though, because of all the racket my lovely brothers are making in the room beside mine. Luckily for that I didn't miss my owl coming back a few minutes later with yet another letter.

'Thank you.'

Scorpius' handwriting was etched on the parchment.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Maybe it's dad. I sighed, thinking about the confessions he's going to hear. Or have mum told him?

I looked down the window and there he was, blonde and sleek, standing outside MY front door, Scorpius Malfoy.
