The Family Competition

by Obliviated Bliss

As a first year I, Lily Luna Potter, was sorted into Slytherin. In my fourth year I started dating Scorpius Malfoy and was kicked out of Potter Manor. Now, two years later, a competition is placed in between me and my family; will it actually bring us back together or make us drift further apart? Please R/R, I would greatly appreciate it, even if they're flames :)

3. Chapter 3

Family Competition Chapter 3

AN: I'm super excited; I mean two chapters in 1 week! I'm really proud of myself! Well I wanted to get this chapter posted before the weekend, because I'm going on a church retreat from Friday-Sunday. That's another reason why I'm excited…anywho, I doubt y'all want to hear about my personal life, you guys wanna read about Lily Luna Potter's life dontcha? So, I present to you my third chapter….Yay:

Disclaimer: I do not, nor will I ever own Harry Potter (unfortunately) all of that amazingness belongs to the wonder, all-inspiring J.K. Rowling.

Lily's POV

Merlin, I hate my family! They're so damn confusing; sure, I know that I miss them sometimes, but it never occurred to me that they felt the same way. The only person that ever tried to have a civil conversation with me, let alone get me to come home, was Dad and that's just his job as my father so, that doesn't really count in my book. Home; wow, it's been a really long time since I've called anything related to the Potter family home. But, maybe once Albus talks to Mum, everything will be right again and I'll move back into Potter Manor. Man, this day is certainly full of contrasting emotions: hatred towards my family when I found out who the champions are, worry about the competition and now happy at the thought of being part of my family again.

"Hey Lily, wait up." I turned around to see Marissa jogging to catch up with me. "How'd the meeting go?"

"Well," I started. "We definitely talked just not about the competition. Albus sort of shouted at me, then it all went down-hill from there."

"Oh Lily, I'm so sorry." Rissy said.

"Don't be. In the end, we all worked it out! Albus is going to owl Mum and see if she's ready to forgive me. Rissy, I might have my family back!" I said, clearly ecstatic.

"Awe, that's great, I'm really happy for you!" she said with a happy look, when Scorpius walked up to us. "Why are you happy for Lily?" he asked.

"Scor, I'm going to get my family back." I said, then told him the rest of the story.

"Congrats Lils, oh I have to go-I've got detention tonight. Bye love, bye Riss." And with a peck on my cheek, he was gone.

Scorpius' POV

Okay, so I don't really have detention tonight, but there's no way in hell that I can let Lily know what I am actually planning on doing. It's not like I'm doing anything bad, actually I'm protecting her. I love Lily and I don't want to be hurt, and quite frankly I do NOT trust her family. Lily automatically assumes the best in people; it's a good trait, but I have a bad feeling that it will one day be her downfall. Sometimes I wonder how the hell she even got into Slytherin; she's too nice for her own good. But, I guess that's why I love her so much. She is the most innocent Slytherin Hogwarts has ever seen since Salazar Slytherin and the other founders created it. Her ebony hair always lies beautifully against her perfect shoulders and back. Her emerald eyes pierce you with so much strength that it seems like she can see inside of your soul. Lily is my everything; I just can't let her get her hopes up only for them to come crashing down, which is exactly what will happen if she starts to believe that her family will automatically let her back into their home and lives, but I have no clue what Lily's Mum is like so I doubt I can guess accurately in this situation. What I have heard about from Dad is that Mrs. Potter is a very stubborn woman. If she has her mind set to something, it is extremely hard to convince her differently. For Lily too be able to finally go back to her rightful home, Mrs. Potter will have to want her there. Otherwise, Albus Potter's effort will all be in vain.

Pottergirl99 () - I'm glad you liked like the chapter. Yeah, I see Lily with auburn hair in other fanfics A LOT and I thought she needed black hair in my story. Thanks soo much for the offer of being my beta but accioyourheart is mine already…sorry. But I really appreciate the offer

Gonewiththerain09- I know Ginny may seem a little bitchy now, but I promise she'll be better by the end of the story.
