4th Year and 6th Year

Scorpius was in great spirits. Slytherin had just beaten Ravenclaw and were now in the lead. After being congratulated by crowds of people he went to the stands to look for Lily. Usually, she would've found him by now or vice versa. He scanned the the stands but there was no telltale sign of her red hair. Scorpius spent a good 10 minutes searching for her and was starting to get really worried. When he finally found her he saw something he never thought he would see.

Lily was locking lips with Matthew Nott. The crowd of Slytherins were cheering them on and wolf whistling. He could hear some students muttering things like "I thought she was Scorpius' girl?" and "I always thought she and Scorpius would end up together!". Now he liked Nott up until this point. Scorpius loathed his very existence. How dare he? How dare he steal Lily away from him? But Scorpius knew he had no-one to blame but himself. He had done absolutely nothing to show Lily that he like her but to be honest doing those things weren't really his forte.

If you listened very very very closely you could hear something breaking and that something would be a heart and that heart would belong to Scorpius Malfoy. Lily and Nott were now looking at each other with googley eyes and it made him want to puke. He slipped away from the crows and made his way back to the common room, thinking of ways to kill Matthew Nott in his sleep.

"Hey Blondie where have you been? I haven't seen you all day" Lily asked. You would've if you weren't to busy snogging Nott. Matthew Nott was holding her hand and Scorpius glared at them. There was another party going on in the Slytherin Common room and Scorpius would very much rather go to his dorm and sleep but his teammates wouldn't let him.

"Places" he mumbled. He spent the rest of the day in an unused classroom just thinking, not wanting to see anybody or anybody to see him. Lily studied him for a minute

"Can you get me some pumpkin juice love? I'm feeling a bit thirsty" she whispered to Nott. He winked at her and went to get drinks. Scorpius felt like punching him. "What's wrong?" she asked as she flopped down on the couch beside him.

"Nothing" he growled with more venom in his voice than he meant to. A look of hurt crossed Lily's face. "So you're dating Nott now huh?" he asked. A small appeared on her face and she started nodding. "Why?"

"He's very nice you know. And sweet. And really funny and charming"

Scorpius got extremely pissed. I'm nice and sweet and funny and charming too. "Really now? Since when?"

"Just awhile ago."

"He's not good enough for you" he said simply. Lily stared at her with an incredulous expression on her face.

"He is"

"No he's not"

"Who do you think is good for me then? You?" she asked with a hint of annoyance in her voice. His face reddened. Yes. I'm better for you than Nott is.

"Since when did you two hang out anyway? You don't even know him"

"I know him plenty well Scorpius and he knows me pretty well too." Lily stood up and left him sitting all alone on the couch. Not as well as I do. She turned around and fixed him with a cold, hard stare "Stop acting like a baby Scorpius:

He and Lily weren't speaking and he felt terribly lonely. He spent so much of his time with her it felt odd to be walking alone to the Great Hall alone. He sees them during breakfast acting totally in love and it made him sick. As he ate his meal one day he realized he had to swallow his pride and apologize to her or else he'll die of loneliness. Not in person, he was far too prideful to do that. Instead he wrote her a small note and tied it to the leg of his owl. The note said:

Dear Fire,

I'm sorry for saying all those things I said a few weeks back. I really am. I was being a total jerk. Would you meet up with me thos Hogsmeade weekend in The Three Broomsticks? At 12:00?

Love always,

Blondie

He got her reply the very same day. He barely controlled his excitement as he tore of the envelope. Scorpius scanned the letter quickly and smiled.

Blondie,

Sure! But you have to treat me to some butterbeers okay?

Fire

On the day of the Hogsmeade weekend Scorpius bought a bouquet of roses (she hated lilies and just adored roses) and her favorite candy at Zonko's. At exactly 12:00 he was in The Three Broomsticks. He ordered two butterbeers, one for him and one for her and sat down in one booth. Scorpius checked his wristwatch frequently. He was not the most patient of people.

When he finished his 7th glass of butterbeer he realized that Lily wasn't going to show up. He checked his wristwatch. It was 4:30. Disappointed, he left and trudged back to Hogwarts.

It must've been his lucky day (not) cause on the way back he ran into Lily and Matthew. They were blushing and giggly and it just pissed him the fuck off. Lily saw him and immediately let go of Nott's hand and went to him.

"Oh my gosh Scorpius I totally forgot about our date! I'm so so sorry. Like a thousand times sorry" Scorpius glared at her.

"Just leave me alone Lily. You made me wait for four freaking hours" he said to her his voice cold. Lily stared at her feet guiltily

"I'm sorry" she repeated in a small voice. Scorpius sighed and resumed walking back to the castle. Nott smirked at him and that really pissed him off. He stopped in his tracks and punch the git on his face. Lily shrieked at him.

"What is wrong with you?" Scorpius didn't even glance back. Now that felt good.

Scorpius thinks their friendship is officially over. Lily wouldn't even look at him after the incident. He didn't try to apologize again. Lily didn't say a single word to him.

But one night as Scorpius lay on his bed trying to figure out how he messed things up with Lily he heard the door creak open. He could hear muffled steps and a few sniffles. Then someone swung his curtains and he sat upright. He quickly grabbed his wand and said lumos.

To his great surprise Lily Potter was standing at the foot of his bed with tear stains on her cheeks.

"C-can I st-stay here tonight?" she sniffled. Scorpius, not knowing what else to say nodded. He was feeling a bit wary about her. Why would she go to him at 2am when they were not on speaking terms? She crawled next into the bed next to him.

"Do y-you know any si-silencing ch-charms?" He nodded at again and flicked his wand. All at once Lily let out a sob that could've woken up the whole castle. She sounded like a dying whale to be honest. Lily cried into his chest and Scorpius let her, without saying anything. "I'm so sorry for being such a bitch and ruining our friendship and not listening to you. I feel so stupid right now"

"It's also partially my fault too. So I'm sorry. For being a dickhead and for ruining our friendship and punching your boyfriend." Not really. Lily gave him a watery smile.

"We broke up" Scorpius can't help but grin from ear to ear.

"When and why?"

"After dinner. I found out he was cheating on me with a Gryffindor." Immediately Scorpius' smile left his face. He stood up and grabbed his wand.

"I'm gonna kill him" he said and he meant it. Lily chuckled and pulled him back.

"Let's kill him tomorrow, yeah?" Reluctantly, he nodded and lay down beside her once again. She snuggled closer to him. "Does this mean you're not mad at me anymore?"

"I can never be mad at you Fire. We're best friends." Lily's smile was so big he feared her face will split in half.
