AN: as to the question why Scor was getting yelled at on the platform… you will soon find out…
I would really love some more reviews….
I looked up into the concerned eyes of Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy. He picked me up like a tiny porcelain doll and set me down lightly on my feet, his hands remained at my waist. My hands where gripping the tops of his arms tightly.
"All right there Lily?" he asked concernedly.
"I'm fine," I whispered. Merlin how did this boy do it? I was suppose to be mad at him, but now I realized I just couldn't be. There was barely any distance between us. He smelled so unbelievably delicious… like cologne and something else. His luscious lips were soooo close to mine… all I would have to do is stand on my tipy toes…
"You sure?" he asked, his cool breath swirling across my face.
I stood there staring at his gorgeous face for a few seconds before murmuring "Yep," and staring at my toes.
His strong hands loosened their hold on my waist but remained there. My hands moved down his arms to his forearms. He shivered under my touch and closed his eyes for the briefest of moments.
"Lily I'm so sorry about not being there this morning, I had something I had to do," he said pleading for my forgiveness. His eyes captured mine for a second, and my heart skipped a beat.
"It's fine," I mumbled, staring intently at his knees.
"Lily I have to go, see you in the dormitories," Dom said, I had forgotten she was there, she dashed up the stairs.
"Lily, I really am sorry," he whispered pulling me closer to him.
"Its really ok, Scor," I said still unable to look in his eyes.
"Scor?" he asked, his tone was rather amused.
Crap! A nickname Lily? What are you thinking?
"Well ugh since you called me Lils, I thought well, never mind, I can keep calling you Scorpius," I said quickly trying to hide my embarrassment I squirmed out of his arms.
"No no, I like it," he assured me pulling me back into his arms.
I flushed with pleasure. He was so close… so very close…
He held me for a moment gently rubbing the small of my back, I was griping his forearms trying to keep him near me, keep him close.
"Well you are going to let me make it up to you right?" he asked after a moment.
"Make what up?" I asked looking up at his glorious face.
"Not being there this morning," he said with a small smile.
"You don't have to," I said smiling.
"I know but I am going to, meet me tomorrow afternoon at my dorm, please," he asked, from his pleading tone I think he thought I was going to say no.
"Ok," I said smiling. My mood turned glum as I realized that meant I wouldn't be seeing him the rest of the day then.
"You don't have to," he muttered his tone hurt as he assessed my glum face.
"Oh no I want to," I assured smiling broadly.
He seemed lifted out of his dejection. It was then he seemed to realize he was still holding me, he dropped his arms and blushed. I reluctantly let go of his arms.
"Well I will see you tomorrow," Scorpius said.
I nodded. He touched my cheek briefly then sped off down the corridor.
I walked up to the dorms in a daze. He was so close to me, he touched my cheek! Oh Merlin! His smell, his eyes, his voice!
As I arrived in the girl's dormitories, Dom was pacing anxiously waiting for me.
She noted my flushed expression and squealed.
"He kissed you didn't he Lily?" she asked.
"N-no but," I stammered.
"BUT!?" Dom shrieked and giggled.
I then filled her in on every little detail of our encounter. We then spent the next thirty minutes depicting his words and facial expressions and my emotions.
"Wow Lily," Dom finally said dropping back on her bed.
"What about you and Frank?" I asked.
"I don't know," Dom grumbled.
"Well from the looks he was giving you yesterday I think he is beginning to like you," I said knowingly.
"You think?" she asked a fire lit in her eyes.
I nodded sagely and said "Trust me Dom."
"I do," Dom said with a sigh.
"You do know I was serious about the girl's day right?" she asked a dragged me to the bathroom.
We sat in the bathroom for hours primping our hair and applying our make up again and again. In the end we both looked rather lovely.
Dom decided to change into something a little more glamorous so I headed down the stairs. Danny seemed to be waiting for me in the common room. He jumped up when he saw me. He grinned broadly as he approached me. I couldn't help but grimace a little.
"Hello Lily," he said sweetly.
"Heya Danny," I said.
"Will you go for a walk with me?" he asked with a charming smile.
"Sure," I muttered.
He took my hand and lead me from the common room and onto the grounds.
"You look stunning," he said rather awkwardly after a moment.
"Thanks Danny," I mumbled trying lamely to pull my small hand from his.
"So quiditich try outs Wednesday, you gonna be there?" he asked.
"Of course, I am the seeker I have to try to keep my position," I said.
"No one could beat you out of it, you're an amazing player," Danny said with a sheepish grin.
"I suppose," I mumbled.
It was strange most of my friends made up the quiditich team. Danny and Dom were beaters, Albus, Frank, and a tall sixth year named Elizabeth were the chasers, Hugo was the keeper (like his father), and I was the seeker.
Danny sighed and squeezed my hand. He led us to the quiditich pitch.
"Wanna go for a quick fly?" he asked.
"Sure," I said excitedly.
We spent a good half hour racing around the pitch. It was fun, but really because Danny turned off the whole flirting thing and was just a friend.
We left the pitch with messy wind swept hair. We talked about quiditich as we made our way to the common room.
A few hallways away we ran into a livid Albus.
"Where have you two been?" he asked venomously eyeing our disheveled hair.
"We were playing quiditich," I said easing Albus before he killed his best friend.
Albus relaxed.
"So m' guessing Danny told you about the try outs?" Albus asked.
We both nodded.
"Good, well Lily Hugo was looking for you. You two have a prefects meeting tomorrow morning," Albus said. I gave both Danny and Albus fleeting hugs before dashing down the hall to the library where I would indefinitely find Hugo.
