A/N: So, because I am so mean and wicked, I left you guys on a cliff hanger, and Jess and Scorpius still haven't kissed. Read and review! Enjoy as well!
"Yes, Jess? What's up?" Lily twirled her hair around her finger.
"How do you know he does 20 press ups each night? He told me yesterday... It was you, wasn't it? The noises last night when we were in the common room. It was!" I jabbed a finger in her chest, furious.
"So what if it was me?" Lily started checking her hair for split ends.
"Because that was mine and Scorpius special time! Why, Lily?"
"What do you mean?" She blinked at me.
"Why did you spy on us? Oh Merlin, it's because you are jealous, isn't it? You are jealous of me and Scorpius. Jeez, Lily, if you had a problem, why not just say it? I can't believe you! I thought we were friends?"
"We are!" Lily tried hugging me, but I pushed her away. "Yes, I am a bit jealous of you and Scorpius."
"How did you know I was with him? How did you stay hidden?"
"I have this map, see, it was my grandfathers, then my dad's, then Albus had it, but I stole it from him. It shows where everyone is in school. There's a way of tracking everyone on school grounds. I will show you it when we get back to our room."
"How did you stay hidden?"
"Well, there's this cloak, that dad has, then he gave it to James, then I took it from James. Cool, huh? It turns me invisible. I'll show you that, too" Lily smiled.
"But, why spy on us? Why not just say 'can you spend some more time with me and not Scorpius' or 'can you not meet up with him at midnight?'?" I was fuming.
"It's always about you, isn't it? You really are a self-centred bitch. Matt was right." What? She had talked to Matt?
"Why did you talk to Matt?" I began.
"Oh, he came up to me and was just like 'don't trust Jess, she's a self centred bitch' then he walked off." She carried on talking, but I was already storming back into the Great Hall. I walked up to the Ravenclaw table, and grabbed Matt by the tie, yanking him up and pulling him outside into the Entrance Hall. Lily had wisely gone back to sit on the Slytherin table, but with Josie and Stella, who didn't really hang around with us.
"Why did you say to Lily I was a self centred little bitch?" I was still holding onto his tie.
"Because you are." Matt spat on the floor. "Stop speaking to me, scum." I let go of his tie, and he rubbed his neck. I walked off, but then turned back, and punched him in the stomach. He doubled over, crying out in pain. I went to hit him again but someone pulled me back from him. When I turned around, I saw it was Albus Potter!
"I really wouldn't, if I were you. All that will happen is that you get in super trouble, and your brothers hate you more. Jess Cooper, right?" He knew my name?
"Yes. Albus?" He nodded.
"Not that I have anything against you beating up the little shit, but why?" He grinned.
"He called me a self centred bitch and is trying to turn Lily against me." I said in one giant rush.
"Lily? As in, my sister Lily?" I nodded. "Why is he doing this to you?"
"I got put in Slytherin. He thinks I let the whole family down." I blinked fiercely, trying to make the little tear at the corner of my eye disappear.
"When I started my first year, I thought I was getting put into Slytherin. The Sorting Hat wanted me to get put into Slytherin, but I refused, and asked for Gryffindor. Apparently, so did my father. I'm sure the same thing happened to Lily, just she didn't fight the fact that she belonged in Slytherin. I thought that if I was in Slytherin, I would be a disgrace to my family, but in reality, it's just a house. If your brothers had brains, they would realise this. This probably doesn't make any sense, because they are in Ravenclaw, and you have to have brains." I was just nodding in awe for the whole thing? Harry Potter was nearly put in Slytherin? "I think that the reason your brothers are being so mean to you, is because they are shocked. You broke the mould! That makes you special." At that point, all of the students in the Great Hall poured out of the room, going to various different lessons. "I gotta go, I've got Herbology next. I'm sure it will all work out for you. Bye Jess." Then he was gone, replaced by Scorpius.
"Why were you talking to Albus Potter?" He gave me a hug.
"He was stopping me from murdering Matthew." I hugged him extra tightly back.
"Why were you murdering him?" he kissed me on my forehead.
"He told Lily I was a self centred bitch." A small tear couldn't help but escape my eye. He wiped it away quickly.
"So that's why Lily was crying." I looked up. What?
"She was crying?" Now I felt bad. Oh Merlin, my best friend had turned against me, and so had all but one of my brothers. Soon there were more tears escaping.
"Yes, but only a few tears. Not like you right now." He wiped away all my tears, and hugged me harder. "Ssshh... It's gonna be alright, Jessie. I'm sure she didn't mean it."
"But she did! That's the thing! I am a self centred bitch! Nobody likes me!" I was nearly hysterical. Luckily everyone had gone to lessons, so they couldn't see me. Like this.
"No, you're not. Lots of people like you. Including me." He wiped away the last few tears. "This will all work out fine. If it helps, I can talk to Lily for you. She might listen to me. Babe, I'm sure it will be fine. Maybe you should talk to Lily." He kissed my forehead again. Then kissed each cheek, and then my nose. I closed my eyes, and we both leant even closer together. I closed my eyes...
"Shouldn't you two be in lessons?" Someone walked up behind us. I spun around to face him, blushing from head to toe. Scorpius was smirking until he saw who it was.
"Professor Slughorn! Yes, we should be in lessons. I, I mean we, are so sorry." I burbled.
"It's fine; just I don't want this to happen again. I'll forget about it this time, but if I catch you again, I will have to be stern, and punish you. Understood?" He didn't even seem very shocked. It probably happened all the time. "Off to lessons now!" Slughorn had apparently always been slightly favoured to Slytherins. I wasn't going to complain.
"What lesson have you got now?" Scorpius wrapped his arm around me, pulling me closer to him.
"He's still watching us, Scorpius!" I know I should have pulled away, but I liked being this close to him. He made me feel all warm and bubbly inside.
"I don't see you pulling away." He winked. "I've got Potions next. With Slughorn, actually." Professor Slughorn was the first teacher in Hogwarts history to carry on teaching the lessons he taught before they became head. "So, are you gonna answer?"
"Oh right, yeah. I have Transfiguration now. Oh shoot, is that the time? We need to go! Bye Scorp." I kissed him lightly on the lips and ran off to Transfiguration before he could reply.
Teehee, I'm so mean. You think they will properly kiss but then they don't :D I'm so evil. I can assure the proper kiss is coming, but not for a few weeks :P
More research on the Malfoy family... Scorpius is also related to the Weasley family! The Black family has to be one of the most confusing family trees ever! Scorpius is related to: the Weasley family (not because Ginny married Harry either), the Potter family, the Black family and the Crabbe family! So basically there are about 5 billion people in the Black family and they married about 5 billion different wizarding families. So confusing!
