Chapter 7

"So it was true? All the time?"

"Oh my good, they're so cute together! Why couldn't all of us be together with someone from another house?"

"I heard that Malfoy kicked Potters as so that he would let him go out with Lily..."

"Oh, I wish he would have fallen in love with me instead of her..."

Everywhere they went, people where whispering och pointing at them. Lily held Scorpius hand hard och looked right forward. She pretended that they where alone, that no one where talking about them. She wished everyone could just go to hell.

Her parents probably knew at this moment, maybe Albus told them, or they had heard from anyone else parents. Lily wanted it to be Christmas-holiday soon, and at the same time, she didn't.

Se wanted to leave Hogwarts for a while, leave all the stupid students who where whispering about her – but she didn't want to go home. She didn't want her mother to see how she looked – with her big stomach – and she didn't want her parents and brother to ask her about Scorpius or other boys.

She knew she had to meet them, and she knew that if she didn't tell them by her self, they would never forgive her. That's why she decided to write to her family, that she would come home for Christmas.

Mummy,

I've decided to come home for Christmas, but I would really like to talk to you before I meet dad and James. Could you pick me up at Kings Cross by yourself? Please?

I don't know what Albus are gonna do, write to him you if you want to find out.

And please, please pick me up by yourself. I really don't want to meet dad and James before I can talk to you face to face.

Love

Lily

She sent the letter with an owl home to her mother and decided that she would tell Ginny Potter everything.

A screaming baby. Lily body covered in blood. His mother and fathers bodies covered in blood. Albus, James, Ginny and Harry Potter who hit him. One time, two times, three times.

"Stop screaming Malfoy! Shut up! Do you have a nightmare or what, you big baby!" They screamed and suddenly the world started shaking and he fell down, down, down.

He opened his eyes and saw a Slytherin-boy named Vincent Crabbe II over him.

"Hey, Malfoy. You where screaming like a big baby," Vincent grinned.

"Yeah, yeah," Scorpius said and pushed Vincent away. He looked at the watch and saw that it was 6.00 a.m.

"Why did you wake me up you stupid pig?" Scorpius said as he got dressed.

"Well, I thought you wanted to catch the train. You are not gonna be here over Christmas, huh?"

"Oh, shit. Yeah, you're right. Thanx buddy." Scorpius closed his trunk with all the things he was going to bring home and then went down to get some breakfast.

After a couple of hours, it was 10.30 and time to go to the station. Scorpius carried his trunk easy, he hadn't so much things in it, and walked on Lilys right side. On her other side, Lysander and Hugo was.

"So are you coming to us over Christmas?" Lily asked and Scorpius was about to answer her no, why would he? When Lysander started talking again.

"Yeah, sure. You too Hugo?" Hugo nodded and Scorpius felt how he went jealous. He wished his family was good friends with Lilys family too, but that was to much to wish.

Scorpius and Lysander and Hugo in the same compartment wasn't a great idea. Specially not Lysander and Scorpius in the same compartment.

"So, who are you with at Christmas, Malfoy?" Lysander said when the train started to move.

"My family, who are you with?"

"Well, my family and also with the Potters and Weasleys," Lysander answered with a grin. "So, who do you count as 'family'?"

"Well, my mother and father, and my grandmother," Scorpius said calm.

"Oh, you have no brothers or sisters?"

"No, and I think you know that."

"Well, lucky you. Lorcan very often drive me nuts, but he is my best friend at the same time."

"Mm, yeah. Lucky me," Scorpius said sarcastic.

"Don't you have any cousins? Your mother, doesn't she has any brothers or sisters?"

"No, she's the only child. As my father."

"But isn't it nice to be the only child? I meant, you inherit all the money your family have."

"Shut up," Scorpius mumbled and looked down in the floor.

"Oh, I'm sorry Malfoy. I can't hear you? What did you say?"

"Just shut up, Lovegood."

"Shut up both of you," Lily said and they all fell silence. Lily took Scorpius hand and she noticed how Lysander looked jealous. Not good.

They where quiet the whole trip, until the train stopped and they saw Kings Cross. Lily still held Scorpius hand as she walked out of the train and looked after her mother who had promised to come alone. She didn't care that Ginny saw her holding Scorpius hand, because she was already going to tell her mother about everything. And Scorpius parents was not there, they would come ten minutes later.

Suddenly she felt how Scorpius froze. He stared at something or someone.

"What it is?" Lily asked as the looked at whatever he was looking at, and she froze to. Ginny, Harry and James Potter where looking at them.
