Sorry it took so long to update!

Twenty Years Later

Lily Potter roamed through the train trying to find a compartment. She had just bid her family farewell and was overly excited to be beginning her first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizarding. Her head was filled to bursting with thoughts of what the school year would bring.

Lily poked her head into a compartment to find her two brothers, James and Albus, already seated. Unfortunately for her they weren't the only ones, it seemed that the whole section was full. She shot an annoyed look at her elder siblings, who continued the conversation they held without even pausing to give apologies, and with an exasperated huff began to roll her large trunk down the aisle again.

She really did get tired of being left out of everything when it came to her brothers. They never had paid her any attention. She supposed this was because she was a girl and, let's face it, she did have a few odd quirks that no one in her family could figure out.

Up ahead she could see a compartment that's door still remained open. Sighing with relief she lugged her belongings into the compartment. As she looked around she noticed that the whole box was empty. That is with the exception of one blonde haired boy perched in the corner. She recognized the boy as none other than Scorpius Malfoy.

She remembered what her Uncle Ron had said about the Malfoy family and hesitated a second before making a decision. She would sit here. She noisily stored her things and let out her comical looking tri-colored cat before finally throwing herself unceremoniously into the seat directly in front of Scorpius.

He was reading, what looked to be a Muggle book. In fact, he looked so engrossed in this piece of literature he hadn't even paid her any notice. This simply would not do. "Um, excuse me." He looked up from his book with a confusion etched on to his face. "Are you talking to me?" he held no sign of meaning this as a sarcastic remark, it appeared he was actually shocked that she had addressed him.

Lily looked around the compartment and then back at the object of the conversation. "Yeah, I guess so, unless I've gone completely bonkers and was talking to Grizabella over there." She nodded her head towards her confused looking cat, which was chasing its tail. Scorpius looked over at the animal. "Is it alright? I've never seen a cat behave like that." The feline continued pursuit of her own tail, hissing every time she managed to sink her teeth into it.

"Well yeah, she's always like that. I got her about two years ago from my Aunt Hermione's cats litter. Unfortunately the mother cat liked to move the kittens around too much and dropped Grizzy down the stairs." Scorpius smirked. "So basically you have a cat with brain damage." He suddenly pulled his face into a frown and looked at her. "Your aunt, she's a Weasley?" Lily nodded her head in affirmation.

"May I ask your name?" He seemed a bit worried now. She looked a bit surprised at the fact she had totally forgotten to introduce herself "I'm Lily, um, Lily Potter."

Scorpius looked a small bit apprehensive. "Well, I'm sorry you've gotten all comfortable in this compartment." Lily gave him a puzzled look as he continued. "I mean, I know you're going to want to move seats once you know who I am. I should have told you as soon as you sat down."

She quickly interrupted him, "I already know who you are Scorpius, and guess what. I don't care. Unless you give me a better reason to change seats I'm afraid I won't be moving." Scorpius appeared slightly taken aback by Lily's declaration. "Is that why you were sitting alone; because of your last name?" He nodded his head. "Yes, everyone else here thinks my family are bloody dark wizards, or, if they're parent's family were supporters of You-Know-Who, blood traitors."

She looked at him closely, studying his every feature. He had the physical traits of his father before him, blonde hair and grey eyes. His eyes, she discovered as she peered into them, held no signs of evil, a slight tinge of cunning maybe at most, but not anything she could openly distinguish as bad. In fact his eyes portrayed a deep since of loneliness. She resolved then and there to attempt to change that.

She realized that she had been silent for at least five minutes since his last statement and hurried to rectify the problem by asking the first question that popped into her head. "What were you reading?" He looked at the book in his lap and turned it so she could see the front cover. "Wicked by Gregory McGuire, it's always fun to read about magic from a muggles point of view." She nodded in agreement, yes that was always fascinating.

They talked about everything from muggle literature to Quidditch. She was pleasantly surprised that although Scorpius was a tad spoiled, he wasn't all together arrogant. Their conversation was interrupted by a rapt knock on the door and the information that they would be arriving at Hogsmeade Station in an hour. With that information both Scorpius and Lily went their separate ways to change.

About ten minutes they both entered back into the compartment. Lily was suddenly very nervous. "Hey, Scorp? I was just wondering what Hogwarts is like, I mean of course my brothers have told me all sorts of things, but what's your opinion being a second year and all." She felt like she was rambling but the butterflies in her stomach refused to let her stay silent.

"Well it's alright I suppose, they do teach you some interesting things every once in a while. I guess I just haven't enjoyed it because of how people treat me. You would think I had the plague." She gave him a sympathetic look and wrapped her arms around him in a brief hug. It was amazing how much she had grown to like him already.

"What about the teachers, what are they like?" He pondered this for a moment. "Well, there's Longbottom, he's a bit of an idiot at times, but competent enough. He teaches Herbology. Professor Harding, who teaches Transfiguration, she hates me, I swear. Um, oh your Grandmother, of course you already know her. And then there's Professor Snape."

Scorpius leaned in as if to divulge a great secret. "He's a vampire."
