"Hey Lily." Albus said as she walked towards Lily, who was sitting in the Library.

"Hi Al, what's up?"

"I was coming to ask you if you wanted to go with me and Rose to a party that the 7th years are throwing to celebrate that the year is almost over. We can invite anybody that we want so I invited whatever family we have left in this school and a few other friends."

"Oh, ok. I'll be there. Did you invite Alice?"

"Yeah."

"Ok, I'll meet you there."

"Ok." Albus started to walk away.

"Oh and Albus,"

"Yeah?" He turned back around.

"Don't complain about what I wear tonight ok."

"Just don't wear anything tight. Oh and it's in the room of requirements." Albus said then turned and walked away.

. . .

Lily walked through the doors into the room of requirements. There were tones of students and music playing.

She could easily pick out Hugo and Rose. Their hair were flaming red. Who couldn't miss their bright red hair. But in all fairness you couldn't miss Lily's hair in a crowd either.

"Hi Lily." Jane Thomas said as she walked by.

"Hi Jane." Lily was greeted by multiple people before she found her brother.

"Oh, Lily. There you are." Albus said. "Rose is looking for you."

"Where is she?" Lily asked.

"At the snack table."

"There's a snack table?"

"Yup. Everyone's been buying candy from Honeydukes and saving it up for this party we spread the word around. Then I had James and Freddie send me some butterbeer and a few other people bought some. There's a lot more over there. But just go find Rose." Albus pushed Lily off into the crowd.

She wandered around until she found the snack table. Rose was nowhere to be seen.

"Hi Lily." Lily turned around. Jacob Thomas was standing there with his hands in his pockets.

"Hi Jake."

"So, I thought you were only in your fifth year." Jake said.

"I am but Al, invited me."

"Oh."

"Yup."

"So, um, do you maybe want to dance."

"I've gotta find Rose. So rain check." Lily said.

Jake nodded then Lily walked back into the crowd. She found Albus again. "Did you find her?" Albus asked.

"No." Lily replied. Albus looked out into the crowd of students.

"There she is." Albus said.

"Rose!" Albus called. Rose whirled around and ran toward Albus and Lily.

"Lily! I've been looking all over for you!"

"I know, Albus said you were looking for me." Rose grabbed Lily's arm and pulled her away from Albus.

"So...Roxy told me that Maggie Macmillan was told by Amy Finch-Fletchley was told by Anna Underwood who was told by Lindsey Underwood, who was told by Darcy, who was told by her sister Lavender, who was told by Darrell Zabini that Scorpius was going to be looking for you tonight at the party." Rose said

"What?" Lily asked in confusion

"Roxy told me that Maggie Macmillan was told by Amy Finch-Fletchley, who was told by Anna Underwood who was told by...Please don't make me say all that again. Scorpius is looking for you. He's here somewhere and he wants to talk to you."

"You could have just said that." Rose looked at her with a straight face.

"Just go find Scorpius." Rose pointed toward the crowd.

"But before you do answer me one question."

"What?"

"Have you figured out how you feel about him?"

"Yes." Lily smiled as she nodded then ran off into the crowd.

Lily walked through the crowd. The music played continuously.

A slow song began to play. She didn't quit her search. She walked slowly looking at everyone searching the crowd for his grey eyes. Suddenly someone grabbed her around the waist from behind.

"Hey!" She was spun around and was face to face with Scorpius.

"I hear you're looking for me." Scorpius said in a low tone.

"I heard you were looking for me." Lily replied. She began to tremble a bit.

"You're shaking a bit Potter." Scorpius said. "Am I making you nervous?" Scorpius had his hands around her waist. She rested her hands on his forearm and stood there.

"I was told you need to talk to me." Lily said.

"I do. But I have a feeling you need to say a few things as well." Scorpius replied.

"Yeah but I want to hear what you have to say first." Lily said curiously

"Ok. Well, stay open minded, can you do that for me?" Lily nodded.

"Ok, so I've been thinking a lot. Mostly about you. I really like you, I think that we are good together. I think you are funny, smart, beautiful and just amazing."

Lily blushed a little. "Yeah, go on." She said.

"And, I think what I'm about to say may change a lot of things between the two of us." Scorpius took a deep breath.

"Lily, I love you." Lily was taken aback by his statement. "My biggest fear is losing you. I think about you all the time."

"Scorpius,"

"Just hear me out. Ok. I know you haven't forgiven me yet but when you do, I'd like to think about us, together."

"Scorpius."

"Yeah?"

"I do Forgive you!" He looked at her like he'd never heard the words she was saying before.

"I thought you deserved a few answer's before you left. I've come to the conclusion I do forgive you." Lily smiled.

"That's good."

"And I figured out a few things too."

"What would those things be?" Scorpius asked.

"Well, you need to understand that for a long time I questioned how i felt toward you. The more I thought about it the more I thought that I shouldn't bother because you were leaving at the end of this year. But I like you Scorpius but I don't want to get over excited only to be let down in the end." Lily said.

"Lily, I don't care if I am leaving at the end of the year. But if anything happens between us, after I leave I won't be gone forever. I'll visit you on holidays and I'll come and watch your quidditch games. I'll do whatever it takes to see you." Scorpius said.

Lily looked into Scorpius's eyes.

"Scorpius, I want you so bad."

Scorpius cupped Lily's face and leaned in toward her. Then stopped when his forehead touched her.

He smirked then kissed her.
