A/N: Chapter 10! Lily and Tom's first date! They make such a good couple, but will Tom betray her? Too bad the answer to that question isn't in this chapter! Mwhahaha!

I woke up earlier than usual. Four in the morning. I don't even wake up that early on weekdays, and today's Saturday! I silently got dressed and went down to the common room. Just as I thought, it was deserted. I sat in a chair and stared into the fire. After a while, I noticed a flyer on the table a few feet away. I'd seen them all over the common room before. They were reminders to the third year students about Hogsmeade. I got up and walked over to the table to read the time the students leave. It said to be at the front gate by noon. It was 4:20. 7 hours and 20 minutes. I don't know why I was so excited to see Tom, but I was. There was something different about him. I couldn't figure out what, but I guess that's why I liked him more than the other guys. I started to pace the room. At about five, Albus and Hugo came down. Albus's hair was a total mess and Hugo looked like he didn't get much sleep.

"Hey sis," Albus said.

"What the hell happened to you two?" I said.

Hugo shurgged, "I didn't get much sleep last night and neither did Albus. We think it's Roxy's new invention."

"I'll be sure to tell her it sucks," I said, grinning.

Albus sank into the couch and yawned. I could smell his breath and almost gagged. I covered my nose with my hand.

"Just because you guys are tired, doesn't give you an excuse to not brush your teeth," I choked.

"Whatever," Albus said. "I've already got a girlfriend, so I'm not trying to impress anyone."

I chuckled, "But do you want to keep your girlfriend?"

He slowly nodded.

"Then brush your teeth or she might break up with you. Girls hate bad breath."

He quickly got up and ran up to his dorm. Hugo ran after him. I burst out laughing. Just then Wen came down and scared the crap out of me.

"Hi Lily!" she said.

"Ah!" I screamed. "Oh, uh, hi Wen. What are you doing up so early?"

"I should be asking you the same question."

"Well I asked it first so you have to answer it first," I said, sticking my tongue out at her.

"I just woke up and didn't realize what time it was. Now it's your turn."

"I, uh, I just woke up and couldn't go back to sleep," I said.

She shrugged and walked to the door.

"Do you want to go eat?" she asked, pushing it open.

I nodded and followed her out into the hall. We walked down to the Great Hall, neither one of us talking. There was no one in the hallway, except a few ghosts. When we opened the doors, I expected a burst of sound like there usually is. But there was nothing except a few kids talking. I looked around and ther was only a small group of people at the Slytherin table. I took a closer look and realized it was Tom, Scorpius, Bellatrix, and Bridget. Tom and Bridget were sitting against the wall and Scorpius and Bellatrix were sitting across from them. Tom noticed me and gave a small smile. I waved. Then Scorpius turned around and scowled at me. I averted my eyes from him. I looked over to see if anyone was at the Gryffindor table. It was deserted. So was the head table and the Ravenclaw table. There were only two first years at the Huffelpuff. Wen and I sat down at the end of our table and two plates apppeared in front of us. A couple of seconds later five or six plates appeared around us. They were piled with food. I grabbed a slice of toast while Wen ate a waffle that she drowned with maple syrup. Then Tom appeared next to me.

"Hi," he said.

"Uh, hi," I replied.

Wen waved at him. Tom waved back.

"Is that all you're eating?" Tom asked, nodding towards my half-eaten slice of toast.

"Um, uh, i'm not that hungry," I stuttered.

Tom nodded. He grinned a little, causing me to blush. I couldn't believe that I didn't see how cute he was. We stared at each other for a little while, then we heard Wen utter a small cough. Tom and I ignored it at first, then her "coughs" grew louder and louder. Tom suddenly turned around and asked, "Are you feeling okay? Maybe you should see Madam Pomfrey."

Wen stuck her tongue out at him and I giggled. Cute, funny, and nice. I tought. He's perfect! But he's a Slytherin. Dad won't be too happy about this. And on top of that, he's Scorpius's friend. Dad really won't be happy about that. Maybe I should just tell him that we can't be together. But I want to give him a chance. Maybe Dad won't care. I like Tom. That should be all that matters to Dad. I could tell Dad that there's a guy who's in Slytherin that seems kind of nice. Then wait for a reply. Yeah, I can do that. But until then, should I go with Tom? I want to, but I also want him to be safe from Scorpius and Dad. What do I do? What do I do? What do I do!

A/N: This chapter turned out a lot shorter than I expected and it took a lot longer than I expected too. I blame my parents for grounding me! Please review!
