Lily Luna's POV

"I was walking past the girls toilets, you know the ones on the 4th floor, when an arm reached out and grabbed me. I thought it was you Scorp ready to surprise me, oh sweet Merlin how I wish it had been."

I knew I shouldn't have let Scorpious finish patrols early. I just couldn't say no to him, those perfect blue eyes looked at me in so much hope I didn't want to let him down. Oh sweet Merlin I've become that sappy girlfriend. Suddenly an arm reached out and pulled me into the ladies.

"Scorpious Malfoy what on earth are you-" I giggled till I realised I wasn't Scorpious.

"Hello Princess, sorry to disappoint but I'm not your blood traitor boyfriend. Now shall we see if Gryffindors little Princess is really as innocent as daddy thinks she is" his sick voice whispered into my ear, hairs rose on my arms as I started to squirm.

"He had me trapped. Used sticking spells on my arms so I couldn't struggle. I tired Scorp, I promise you I tried to get away." Tears started running down my face. But I didn't look up, I didn't want to, no I couldn't, see his face. "I cried for days after, I felt so dirty. I was broken"

"Li-"

"Don't interrupt me Scorp, please. I wanted to tell you but I couldn't find the words to speak, so I didn't. Then about two months later it clicked in my head. My period was late. I sent off a test to a friend of Dads at St Mungos to see if it was true. If I was pregnant. As you can tell it was positive. I left Hogwarts that same day. I felt so ashamed, I couldn't drag anybody else into my mess so I moved in with an old friend from Hogwarts, for a job and worst of all I cut myself off from the Wizarding World. I can't expose Sophia to the truth, I don't want pity. I want to move on with my life and raise my daughter away from the fame I grew up with."

Finally I looked up at Scorpious. Tears streamed down his ashen face almost matching those streaming down mine. His once blue eyes looked dull and pained as he looked at me.

He cleared his threat, 'Lil you could have told me. You could have- you should- why? Why did you leave instead of saying something? We could have helped you." He stepped closer to me, 'I could have helped you."

i backed away keeping space between us, 'I was a child Scorp. I wasn't ready for such responsibility and neither were you. He was still at Hogwarts, he'd haven't known immediately Sophia was his. I am not letting that monster near my baby."

And with that I walked away.

Scorpious' POV

I couldn't believe it. Lily, my Lily. Rap- No. The bastard who did this to her was not going to get away with it. Not on my watch.

Lily Lunas's POV

I walked away from Scorpious and headed back to the garden. My family tried to ignore the obvious tear stains on my cheeks, they ignored my red eyes and just carried on talking acting like whatever happened hadn't. Except my mother gave me one very clear look, we'd be discussing whatever happened later on.

"Mummy cry?" Sophia placed one of her soft little hands on my cheek and looked at me.

"it's okay baby, mummy is okay." I kissed the top of her head and turned back to my dinner.

Scorpious didn't return.

Albus' POV

I was having a 'discussion' (more like a heated debate) with Uncle Percy on a legal bill about to be passed by the Wizagmont when a voice interrupted everything.

"Sorry I'm late guys. Oh, I made it just in time for dinner. I'll just sit in the empty seat." Scorp headed towards the table where the only empty chair without any discarded clothes on it was next to Sophia.

Crap.

"Hey Al, I thought you didn't date girls with kids?" Scorp nods his head in gesture to little Sophia who's shoving mash potato into her face grinning at Blair who's been smiling at her across the table.

"I don't"

"She's mine"

Lily and I both speak at the same time.

"Lily" Scorp breathes out.

"Hi Scorp"

"I, er, I didn't, urm, I didn't expect to see you here. I'm sorry, I mean, erm, I just. This is a surprise. Sorry, um, hi." I snort in laughter, ever the eloquent one my best friend. That was sarcasm if you didn't catch it.

"Hey" She waves awkwardly at Scorpious. Match made in heaven if you ask me.

Then Sophia breaks the awkward stares and reaches towards the juice cup in Lily's hand. I scoot my chair out a little bit from the table in case of confrontation just as I see Dad, James and Teddy do the same.

Lily glances at Sophia before handing her the juice cup, 'sorry Soph, here is your juice sweetie."

"The kid, she's yours isn't she? Not the kid of a mystery date Albus brought? Oh my Merlin, you have a kid. I'm right aren't I?"

"Yup"

"She isn't mine is she?" This wasn't going to end well. My whole body tensed as I waited for the years of pent up anger at Lily to burst from Scorpious.

"No" Lily looks at the floor.

"Is that why you left? The kid looks like she is about two or three, is that why you left? Who is the dad? You cheated on me didn't you. I can't do this. I'm sorry guys I'm going to go. Albus I'll see you later. Harry, Gin I'll stop by at some point this week. Sorry guys."

And with that Scorpious heads out the garden. What I didn't expect was for Lily to go running after him. Teddy and I both stand up to go after them when one look from mum tells us both to sit down and leave them to it.

And so normalcy resumes, or as close to normalcy as this family can get.

When Lily came back to the table it was pretty obvious she'd been crying. Whilst it made me mad that Scorpious had upset my little sister I knew that it wasn't my place to get involved. This time Lily was in the wrong.

As always Dom breaks the tension surrounding a very quiet Lily, 'so how many hot dudes you been banging since you broke up with Scorp?" She waggles her eyebrows suggestively at a giggling Lily.

"Dom!" I yell

"Dominique!" I heard Bill chastise although it's easy to hear the slight chuckle in his voice.

"Dommie that's not ladylike dear" Grandma Weasley reprimands.

Dominique just shrugs at us all, 'broke the tension amirite."

And with that the awkwardness is gone, Lily delights in hearing what she's missed in her absence and a very happy Sophia smiles at anyone who will look at her. It's almost like Lily never left.

Almost.

Lily Luna's POV

Today was not what I expected. If you had told me yesterday that I would be back in my family home I would have laughed at you. I don't know if I will be sticking around, but for now my family seems to accept I don't want to talk about why I left although they can easily deduce by my little addition that Sophia is part of not the whole reason for my early departure from Hogwarts.

I was stood in my old bedroom looking at old photographs whilst Sophia napped in my old bed. Photos littered my room showcasing every moment of my existence. One in particular however caught my eye and I couldn't stop looking at it. It was a Wizard photo of Scorpious and I dancing around the Malfoy estate ballroom at one of the Christmas parties, our first one as a couple. He looked dashing in his dark grey almost silver suit and his forest green tie that matched my gown. I was wearing a beautiful green ball gown that winced in at the waist before flowing down. My hair was in an intricate style much like my favourite character from my favourite tv show, Daeneyrs Targaryen from Game of Thrones. On my worst was a beautiful silver band that Scorpious had gifted me that Christmas. We looked so happy.

I remember the Daily Prophet articles following the ball, all guessing how long it would be before we announced our engagement, how we laughed at the headlines. How I secretly wished that one day they would be true.

Instead I screwed everything up. I ruined every chance I had with Scorpious and ran away from my home.

A knock at the door interrupted my thoughts.

"One moment" I quietly replied before exiting the room. I came face to face with my dad.

"Hey sweetie, you were taking a while so I thought I'd come up and help. Sophia get to sleep ok?" Dads emerald eyes looked at me.

"Yeah sorry I just got distracted. It hasn't changed." I sighed.

"Whilst not much in that room has changed flower you have"

"Dad can you- I don't. That nickname. I don't want you to use it anymore. Please."

"Sure Lilykins, whatever you wish. Now you'd better hurry up downstairs before your brothers eat all of your mums snickerdoodles." He answers my quizzical look my continuing, 'they're some American baked goods. You know your mother and her penchant for finding new and exciting things to bake. I swear I won't be able to fit into my suit trousers much longer if she carries on." Dad chuckles before kissing me on the forehead and head dog downstairs.

I follow Dad downstairs to the kitchen where my family have collected.

"The kids are outside getting ready to go play quidditch if you want to go join in" Uncle George looks up from his tea to speak to me.

"No thank you. I'd rather sit in here with you Uncle George' he chuckles at me, 'anyway I need to be prepared in case Sophia wakes up. It's a new place she'll probably be a bit scared."

I sit at the table with my family and laugh and joke the day away. When Sophia wakes from her nap she joins us as the family continues to smother her with the Weasley/Potter family love. All is good in my life.

Sorry this is such a short chapter. I'm also sorry it's been so long since I updated. I've had a lot going on in my personal life but I'm back so get ready for some more exciting chapters over the next few weeks.
