Chapter 3

The Pub

Lily eventually calmed down enough to make her way back into the house where she silently went to her room and started to unpack. An hour had passed when her mom knocked on her door.

"So, to celebrate your homecoming, what do you want to do for dinner? I could make something or we could go out. Maybe even to that muggle pub in London you love so much," Ginny said with a grin.

Lily immediately turned her attention to her mother. Captain Joe's was her favorite restaurant but since it was so far away they only ever went there for truly special occasions. "YES YES LETS GO THERE!"

"Ok, I will go make the reservation," Ginny said smiling. She was about to close the door when Lily ran over and almost knocked her mom over with the force of her hug.

"Thank you thank you thank you!" she cheered. Ginny laughed and hugged her daughter, so happy that she was home.

Half an hour later all of the Potter's except for Albus stood in the front hall getting ready to leave. "Al! Scorpius! Hurry up!" Ginny called out.

"Scorpius?" Lily asked confused. She had thought that this was just going to be a family dinner. No cheating ex-boyfriends allowed.
"Thank you for the offer Mrs. Potter," said Scorpius as he and Al walked into the room, "but I wouldn't want to intrude."

"Oh you are not intruding dear! You spend so much time here your pretty part of the family!" Ginny replied cheerily.

"Mom, I don't see why we should make him come if he clearly doesn't want to. He probably already has plans with someone else," Lily said bitterly as she glared at the tall Slytherin.

"Oh come now Lily. Anyways I already made the reservation for six! So see he has to come."

"I will only come if it is ok with Lily. It is her welcome home dinner after all." Scorpius turned his bright grey eyes onto Lily making it very hard for her to keep up her glare.

"Fine," she groaned, "I guess he can come."

"OK great now lets move Potters, we don't want to be late!" Ginny corralled everyone out the door. The family car wasn't big enough for all six of them so they apparted to an ally close to the pub instead. Lily, who had still not yet turned 16, had to travel side along with her mother; something that James teased her about when they got there.

The Potters took their seats at a round table right in front of the stage. That was Lily's favorite part about this restaurant. They almost always had live music. A waitress came and took all of their orders and as she was leaving, a man with a large mustache walked up onto the stage and spoke into the microphone. "All right everybody settle down now. Now who would like the honor of being the first person to sing at Captain Joe's open mic night?"

There was a lot of cheering and several hands went up in the air. Mustache guy looked around the crowd and finally settled on a man who was probably in his 30's. The man was rather large and had greasy looking light brown hair. He stooped down and picked up a guitar case before making his way over to the stage.

"Oh god, not open mic night," James groaned. "These people are always terrible!"

Lily glared at him before turning her attention back to the stage. Greasy hair guy had started to play a mediocre rendition of an old Beatle's song. Even though he was pitchy in several spots and few chords on his guitar were out of key, Lily thought he did an all right job. As he finished up Lily cheered loudly with the other people in the pub. Than an idea struck her. A way that she could win back Scorpius. Back at McKinley, people were always singing songs to try to impress the other glee club members and most of the time they were aimed at one special glee club member. "That's what I have to do",Lily thought. When mustache guy made his way back on stage to ask for the next volunteer, Lily's hand was the first one up.

"Lily? What are you doing?" Albus asked cautiously as if his sister was a mentally unstable person who could be set off by the slightest disturbance.

"What does it look like I'm doing," Lily hissed at him, "I'm volunteering."

"Yes you in the front there! The little ginger girl!" the mustache guy called out, pointing at Lily. She smiled, stood up and started walking towards the stage.

"This is not going to end well," James muttered to Al.

"So what song were you thinking of doing darling?" a tall man with long black hair who was sitting at the piano asked Lily.

" 'Haven't Met You Yet' by Michael Buble if you please."

"Sure thing. It's a personal favorite of mine."

Lily smiled and took her place in front of the microphone as the piano started to play. "Tell me when its over," James groaned as he lay his head on the table and covered his face with his arms.

Ginny hit him on the shoulder. "Be more supportive of your sister," she scolded.

"Come on mum, have you ever heard Lily si—" James mouth dropped open as his sister's voice started to carry through the speakers.

"I'm not surprised, not everything lasts. I've broken my heart so many times I've stopped keeping track. I talk myself in, I talk myself out. I get all worked up, then I let myself down. I tried so very hard not to lose it. I came up with a million excuses. I thought I thought of every possibility, oh,"
James and Albus stared up at their sister in amazement. Not once had they ever heard Lily sing. She often refused to even sing happy birthday to people for she said there was no point in singing about a person being a step closer to their death (a very cheery thought indeed). They certainly did not expect that when they finally did hear their sister sing that she would be that…. good! They always thought she was tone death or had a voice that sounded like a frog with a cold and that was why she never sang. This was the last thing they had ever expected.

"And I know some day it will all turn out. And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out. And I promise you kid, that I'll get so much more that I get. I just haven't met you yet."

"Hmmhmmmhmmmhm. I might have to wait, I'll never give up. I guess it's half timing, and the other halfs luck. Where ever you are, when ever it's right, you'll come out of no where, and into my life."

Harry and Ginny were both watching their daughter proudly. Lily had told them in her letters that she had joined the glee club and that she loved singing so this wasn't a huge surprise for them. Lily had asked for them not to tell Albus and James about the glee club for fear that they would tease her for it. Seeing the look on their faces now, Ginny knew that she had been right.

"And I know that we can be so amazing. And baby your love is going to change me. And now I can see every possibility, hmmmm. And somehow I know it will all turn out. And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out. And promise you kid, I'll get so much more than I get. I just haven't met you yet."

"They say alls fair, in love and war. But I won't need to fight it. We'll get it right and we'll be united."

Surprising everyone, mustache guy grabbed a trumpet and started playing, taking the solo. Lily was having the time of her life up there. The band was great, she was singing on key, the crowd was loving her and best of all….

Scorpius hadn't taken his eyes off of her since she had volunteered.

Lily started clapping her hand to the beat as mustache guy finished his solo and the everyone in the pub started clapping with her, making her feel that much more amazing.

"And I know that we can be so amazing. And being in your life is going to change me. And I can see every single possibility, ohhhh,"

Scorpius was in complete shock. Never, in a million years, would he ever expect Lily to sing in public and never in a million years would he expect her to be that good! But what was worse was that he felt himself being drawn to her. The way she tossed her red hair over her shoulder to get it out of the way, the way she seemed to put her heart into every note she sang, the way her bright hazel eyes had been looking at him the entire time, as if the song was meant for him. And all though he didn't want to admit it, he knew that it was. "Snap out of it Scorpius! You're with Rose now! You were just a little taken aback when you saw her again that's all. You feel nothing," Scorpius thought, trying to convince himself.

"And someday I know, it'll all turn out. And I'll work to work it out. Promise you kid, I'll get more, than I get than I get than I get!"

"Ohhh you know it'll all turn out. And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out. And promise you kid, to give so much more than I get, yah. I just haven't met you yet."

At this point, some people in the club had gotten to their feet and started dancing with each other in the aisles. Even the workers had stopped what they were doing to watch the little red head. Everywhere Lily looked she saw people on their feet and clapping and smiling, all because of her, and she loved it.

"I just haven't met you yet. Oh promise you kid, to give so much more than I get."

The members of the band started singing the background as the song came to an end: "I said love love love love. Love love love love,"

Lily continued: "I just haven't met you yet. Ohohh Woah Ayeee Ayee Yah. I just haven't met you yet."

The pub exploded! Everyone jumped to their feet and applauded as Lily took her bow. They cheered and wolf whistled and called out while Lily stood their, smiling and waving. Mustache guy eventually got everyone to settle down and started asking for the next volunteer as Lily returned to her seat.

"Man Lily! Where did that come from!" James exclaimed grabbing his little sister and pulling her into a hug.

"Just a skill I picked up in America," Lily replied slyly. She took her seat and started to eat. Her brothers were still going on and on about how surprising that was and how they did not expect it at all but Lily just let it drone into the background. It wasn't until the sixth guest spoke that she actually picked up her head.

"You were really good Lily," Scorpius said shyly.

Lily smiled, "Thanks! I was hoping you would like it."

Scorpius held Lily's gaze before a moment before shaking his head and turning his attention back to Al. Lily smiled again, "it's working," she thought.


I hope you liked it :)
