Author's Notes: It's all J.K. Rowlings's.

Lily Potter was expecting a normal, lazy, and quiet night in the Gryffindor Common room. She was not anticipating Hugo to go off and tell James about Scorpius, nor was she ready to have her brother to come up to her and start interrogating her.

"Hey Bug, I heard you were with the Malfoy today in the library."

"That's interesting." Lily answered, not even bothering to look away from the girl from her year she was talking to.

"I want you to stay away from him." James answered; his voice had a tone of warning in it.

"Well that's too bad for you, Jamie." Lily replied, now fully focused on the conversation. She hated people telling her what to do. When they did, she would do whatever the opposite of what they wanted was.

"It just doesn't make sense. Malfoys and Potters don't make nice. We're supposed to be enemies."

"That's so progressive. Way to think to the future, James." Lily said, standing up now (which was not all that impressive, seeing as she was just barely five foot).

"I'm thinking about your safety, Lils."

"What should I have to worry about? Besides, we've only known each other for about a week." Lily answered, his voice raising enough for the whole common room to be paying attention to the two hotheaded Potters. It was not the first, nor would it be the last, time the siblings would fight each other at this volume. They were always at each other's throats.

"Which is a week too long. He's a Slytherin." James said, his fists balled.

"Great reasoning, Jamie. That makes so much sense."

"I don't care whether you think I'm right or not. You're not allowed to be friends, and that's final." Lily just stared for a moment.

"You just screwed yourself over." Lily said with finality. She grabbed her books off the couch, flicked her hair, and went up the steps to her dormitory without another word.

"That was not the best approach." Albus said after a few moments of silence. "'We're supposed to be enemies,'" He said, quoting James. "Could you get more stupid?"

Only about 95 more to go! Not too much right... Again reviews and ideas are greatly appreciated!
