[Violet

I walked down the hall by myself, looking for someone to go to Hogsmeade with. Of course, the guys were disgusted with me, for being a girl, but I needed someone. I wasn't going alone.

I saw a guy and a girl walking down the hallway, hand-in-hand. My eyes widened slightly as I saw who it was.

"…I'm sorry, are you Molly Swann?" I asked slowly.

"Yeah, why?" My old friend asked me, not recognizing me as Violet Demin, her best friend for four years.

"It's me, Violet. Wow Molly, you're all…grown up!" I stuttered, nervously scratching the back of my neck. Molly Swann. Wow. So we all run into our old demons some day.

Molly and I were best friends from the age nine to thirteen, when we split after some stupid argument. She was two years younger than me, but only a grade lower (A/N: That means they were friends when Violet was 9-13, and Molly was 7-11. Just saying.). Which meant she was a fourth year, had a boyfriend attached to her arms, and looked like that.

"Oh. Yeah, I guess I am. You look different too. Your hair looks so good. This is Alex." She said, gesturing to the boy on her arm. Alex Carmen. Wow. All the shit hits the fan today.

I remembered Alex Carmen. We too were friends, before I pushed him into the Netherlands just for flirting with me. I was still in the tomboyish stage of my life, and I hated the fact that one of my best friends had a crush on me. It scared me to no end.

"Hey, Violet. Haven't seen you in a few years." He said, smiling. Of course. These were two of the most "forgive-and-forget" living by people I knew. It was almost like you couldn't get in arguments with them. It was insanity incarnated that I ran into them today of all days.

"Mind if I walk with you?" I asked, smiling. I didn't even remember why we weren't friends any more. I didn't see a reason to be angry with them.

"Nah. We were on our way outside." Molly said. She looked enormously happy to be snuggled into Alex's side, his arm around her waist. I was almost jealous, except I had Scorpius. So things were good.

"How've you guys been?" I asked, struggling to stay warm. Although it was still autumn, it was around six, and getting cool out.

"Good." They both said at once, and they were about to sit down under a skimpy maple tree, but I led them over to My Tree. The one way too close to the lake that gave you a perfect view of the sky.

"That's good." I said, hugging my knees for warmth.

"What's been going on, dude? I haven't talked to you in like, two years." Molly said, laughing. She called me dude. I hadn't said dude since third year.

"Nothing much. Some new classes, some new friends, some new faces." I shrugged, and though it was silent, it was a happy silence. A silence of three people that knew each other, and knew that silence was best.

"-Can't believe you got the Lightning Strike. It's possibly the most amazing broom I've ever seen. Hey, look, there she is!" Teddy shouted, and plopped down behind me. Scorpius came around my side and kissed me on the cheek, hugging me for warmth. Evidently, he was cold too.

"Man, I feel so left out. I wish I had someone to hug." Teddy said, pretending to pout. I

frowned and said, "Aw, Tedsies, don't feel left out." And put my arm around him.

Molly and Alex were looking curious, so I said, "Molly, Alex, this is Teddy Lupin and Scorpius Malfoy. New friends. Scorpius, Teddy, this is Molly Swann and Alex Carmen. Old friends." I said with a slight grin as they all introduced each other and tried to huddle at the same time.

We sat for about an hour, waiting for it to get dark out, talking about random topics. I realized that Molly and Alex had changed a lot. But so had I.

Change or not, they were amazing company. When it finally got dark, and we had to go back up to the castle, I tapped Alex's shoulder. He looked at me eagerly.

"Can I borrow the girlfriend that's clinging to your back?" I asked politely and he laughed, letting Molly down from his back.

"You boys go bond, we're gonna go have girly time." I called as the boys walked back up to the castle, Molly and I following at a much slower pace.

"Hey." I said quietly, giving a tiny smile.

"Hey." Molly replied.

"So seriously, what's been going on? I mean, you're a fourth year now, and you've got Alex Carmen eating out of the palm of your hand, and you look…not thirteen!" I laughed, slipping my hands into my pockets.

"Oh, Alex and me? We go way back. My friend Becca was friends with his friend Laura for about seven years. We've known each other for a long time. We just started going out a couple months ago, though. He's so sweet." She smiled, and it was her turn to ask the questions. "So what about you, miss I'll-Kiss-Teddy-Lupin-To-Make-Victoire-Jealous?"

I reddened slightly. "You heard about that?" I asked, cringing. Not one of my better moments.

"Everyone heard about it, doll." She said, putting her hand on my shoulder.

"Well, yeah, it was a jealousy scheme. I still think she's a dirty, filthy slut who should be maimed and tortured for all the shit she puts everyone through." I shrugged with a smile.

Molly laughed. "So, you've got Scorpius Malfoy now? Insanity, man. Absolute insanity."

"Yeah, we've only been going out a couple days. He's really nice. I like him." I said simply, and stopped, realizing something.

"What?" Molly asked, turning towards me.

"I missed you, Molls." And I reached over and hugged her. She hugged back. "I missed you too Violet. I missed you too, too much."

[Teddy

"So who was the girl?" I asked Violet once we were all back in the Common Room, sipping on hot cocoa that I may or may not have slipped from the kitchen.

"Molly Swann. We were best friends for a long time, and then we weren't for a long time." Violet said sadly, but happily at the same time, letting Scorpius put his arm around her. She was becoming more open with him. They did a lot more couply stuff now.

"She was incredibly hot." I announced, saying what was on everyone's mind.

"Ugh, don't say that, it creeps me out." Violet said, cringing, but smiling.

"How old is she, anyways? Sixteen?" I asked again, and spat out my cocoa at the answer.

"Thirteen and a half."

"WHAT?!" Scorpius and I both shouted.

"Yep. Hang on, I have some old pictures." And Violet disappeared up the girls' staircase. Scorpius and I stared at each other in amazement.

"Thirteen and a fucking half. Is that even legal? Am I considered a sexual predator if I hit on her?" I asked, thinking out loud.

"I think you'd be considered dead by her boyfriend."

"Yeah, there's that."

"Back!" Violet sang through the almost-empty common room.

"I see that." I said in a tired voice as she plopped into Scorpius' lap.

"Okay, smartass, here she is. This is her when she was eleven." Violet said, showing us a picture of a little girl doing a cartwheel, then standing up again.

"Wow." I muttered. The girl from today was in another world than this one. Molly from today was curvy and tall, her long, light-brown hair reaching her waist, and her blue eyes sparkling in the reflection of the water. The girl in the picture was rail-thin, and flat as a board, with chopped-short brown hair and dull eyes. It was amazing the difference a few years can make.

"Yeah, wow. I mean, I saw her today and my first thought was, 'Ohmygod, Molly has BOOBS!'" I spit out my drink again, coughing on it. Violet laughed, but thumped my back.

"Anyways, we're going shopping next weekend. It's gonna be so fun." Violet sounded excited about it. I winced.

"Okay, what is your aversion to shopping? My god, it's like guys have a grudge against cute clothes."

"It's not an aversion to clothes, it's an aversion to standing around in dressing rooms for hours on end, putting on millions of different outfits that you'll never wear." I shrugged simply.

"Whatever." Violet muttered, rolling her eyes.

"So who was the guy, then?" I asked for a change of topic.

"Alex Carmen. Jesus, Teddy. You seriously need to start paying attention to things."

"I knew his name. But who is he? Like, how do you know him? On our way back up to the castle, he kept asking about you, and saying stuff like, "Wow, she really has changed." Scorpius got pretty pissed off." I said, taking a last sip of my cocoa, then setting it down on the table in front of us.

"Why did you get pissed off?" Violet asked Scorpius, turning around in the chair.

"Because one of the last things he said was, "She's still as hot as she used to be though."" Scorpius said quietly, seething.

"Oh my fuck, he said that?" Violet cried, standing up.

"Yes, he said that." I answered calmly, looking up at Violet.

"Ugh! That cheating, flirting, awful, unappreciative bastard!" She said, and sat back down.

"We were friends a couple years ago. He had this massive crush on me. I pushed him away and kind of bolted. I guess the crush is back." She said bitterly, finally explaining some shit to us.

"What the hell is wrong with him? He's got Molly snogging him in between classes! Can he not see how lucky he is?" I shouted, in a sudden rage. A couple second years sent me looks.

That's what's so damn sickening about it. Scorpius, relax, okay? Molly's my…well, I don't know what to call her now. Let's say friend. And I would never, ever cheat on you. Especially with a guy who has such a great girl right in front of him. Ugh. That jerk." Scorpius smiled and kissed her, and I looked away, suddenly getting very interested in the ceiling.

I looked back a minute later, and they were still going at it. I clapped my hands loudly in front of their faces. No response. "OH MY GOD, I'M ON FIRE!" I screamed in a desperate attempt. No response. I slapped Violet on the back of the head. She slapped me back and continued kissing Scorpius, now on his lap.

"Oh, come on, guys. At least keep it PG." I whined, looking away again.

"Shut up, Teddy." Scorpius breathed, but only surfaced for a moment before going back.

The room had vacated now; the random fifth and second years fled when Violet and Scorpius had started to kiss.

And…they were still kissing. I sighed.

"You better not get laid, Scorpius. If you do, I'll kill you." I warned, still in a mad attempt to get them to stop.

"Shut the fuck up, Teddy, before I kill you." Violet said, momentarily angry before going back to her boyfriend.

"Oh, fine, I'm going to bed." I muttered, pouting.

"Night." They both said at once. I huffed and puffed up the stairs to the boys' dorms and went to bed highly disgruntled.

[Scorpius

I heard Teddy say good night next to me. I didn't care. Nothing mattered. Nothing mattered except the girl who sat on my lap, who kept deepening the kiss, who kept showing me new worlds.

"Violet," I breathed in between kisses, "What the hell are we doing?"

"I don't know," She said, coming up, then bobbing back down, "And I don't care."

I smiled against her dark lips and she stifled a slight moan. My eyes were jerked open. This was my thought process: There is a girl attached to my lips who just moaned. There is a girl attached to my lips who just moaned. Violet just moaned. She just moaned, for gods' sake. WHAT THE FUCK?!

"Did you just," Our sentences were split now, not bearing to stop, "Moan?

"Yes I," She paused to kiss me, "Did. Sorry if I," And again, "Freaked you out."

"No, it's," Pause, kiss, "Fine. Just kind of," Kiss, pause, "Shocked me."

"I shock you?" She asked, pulling out of the kiss and looking at me with shock in her eyes.

I was acutely aware of her legs wrapped around me, and her body only inches from mine. I was acutely aware of her Ravenclaw tie, which hung loose around her neck, and the button undone on her white blouse. I was acutely aware of her skirt—more accurately, her lack of skirt. And at that moment, yes, I was shocked that a girl this pretty was kissing me, and blowing my brains out of my ear.

"Yep." I said simply, and kissed her again.

She giggled slightly, something I had never heard her do. "You know," Back to the kiss-and-pause game, "You're gorgeous."

"Thanks," Kiss, "Scorpius."

"No, I," Pause, kiss, "Mean it, Vi."

"Wow, no one's really ever said that to me." Violet whispered, coming up for air.

"Really?" I asked in surprise. Violet was gorgeous. She was one of the prettiest girls I'd ever seen.

"Well, I mean, Alex used to call me hot when I was wearing a low-cut top, but…" She said, looking away.

"But you are gorgeous, Violet." I said, pushing her dark hair back from her face.

She smiled up at me, . "Thanks. I…thanks."

"No problem." I said, and walked over to the boys' dorms.

"See you tomorrow." She said, skipping up the stairs to the girls' dorms.

I smiled to myself as I walked up the stairs, and I fell asleep almost instantly.

A/N: Like it? I guess I'll find out. I wanted to slip some new characters in, and mess around with the Violet/Scorpius thing. I like this chapter, actually. I like it a lot. Review please!
