Once O. W.L.S. were over the year went rather quickly. The train ride home went quickly as well, as I dreaded the moment when I would have to part from Scorpius for the weeks. It wasn't very long, but after being together for 8 months, and seeing each other every day, it would feel like an eternity. The rain bounced off the windows running down the pain as if they were weaving between trees. The running reminded me of the tears I would surely shad once we reached the platform.

I brought myself closer to Scorpius, burying my head into his chest, as I sat on his lap. He put his pace in my hair, and the warm, soft breath made a warm chill run down my spine and though my whole body. We sat in silence, but that just what we needed.

Melissa was sitting across from me with her head on Albus` shoulder, as he stroked her hair. I had never seen him so calm and gentle. They were lucky though; Melissa was spending the whole summer at our house, because her parents were away, in America to visit family, and for work. They had left a month before school, and wouldn't return until a week before we went back. Life had always seemed to work for the two of the; both sets of parents approved of the relationship, and if they were in public they didn't get wide eyes and hushed comments.

As we pulled into King Cross station, I could see my mom and dad standing with James on the platform. Albus and Melissa left the train, and they walked to get their things from the compartment. Scorpius stood up and pulled me into him.

I knew we would have to part soon, and I took a deep breath taking in his sweet scent. Hoping it wouldn't have to be the last time I did. I knew the tears were about to come.

"Lily, we have to get off the train" Scorpius pointed out. I knew it, but I was afraid, once I stepped of the train he would be gone. As we stepped of the train, I saw my family. I walked over with Scorpius in tow.

"Lily!" James exclaimed as he pulled me into a big bear hug. "It seems like forever. I`ve missed you!"

"I missed you too James." I said trying to breath. Next, my mum and dad pulled me into a hug, and I turned to Scorpius remembering he was still there. He has left during the reunion to get his trunk, and he was going to get mine, but James already had it.

Scorpius looked at me, and set his trunk down, took my hand, and we walked away from my family. "Lily, I'm going to miss you so much."

"Promise to write." I said, hoping he was already planning on it.

"I would have done anything less." He kissed the top of my head, and a tear slid down my cheek.

"Don't cry flower." He took my face in his hands. "It`s only going to be three weeks. It will fly." I still wasn't satisfied. "Please smile. For me? " I smiled my best smile I could for the moment.

"See you look you look wonderful." I was taken back to all those years ago, when I was about to go into my first year of Hogwarts. I wished that the next three weeks could pass as quickly as all those years seemed to pass me by.

"Lily, I have to go seem my family, I`m sorry."

"It`s fine, I`ve been waiting to see mine as well."

We looked at each other, and I closed my eyes, leaning in for a deep passionate kiss. If felt as if this was a good bye forever, not three weeks. We broke away, and he walked me to my family, kissed my forehead, said good bye, and walked across the platform in the seconds that lingered on, until he mixed into the many people, fading from view.

My family all got into our car and drove home, making it there in about 30 minutes. After unpacking, I was kind of glad to be in my own room. I liked the privacy, the warm feeling, and the memories. My purple walls covered in quidditch posters, from my childhood dreams of playing professionally like my mum. My pictures of friends, and drawing from last summer, they were of random things, mostly flowers. My comfy purple and white bed lined with polka dot pillows and silk sheets. The white carpet, and purple floor mat, lining next to my white wooden dresser.

The next two weeks dragged on, Scorpius and I sent letters every day, and a couple days a week I would go see Rose and Hugo with Melissa. Melissa and I decided to go shopping for new clothing at a muggle shop three blocks away from my house. We lived in my father`s, god father`s old house. It was a decently sized home, and everyone got their own room. We even had a spare room for Melissa to stay in.

We were walking to the shopping center, and Melissa started talking. "Have you ever noticed the muggle shops are always cheaper than the wizarding ones?"

"Yeah, it is because the currency is worth more in the wizarding world. You get 5 Euros for a 1 nut."

"What do you need to get?" I questioned.

"I don't know, new clothing I guess." She looked around the street, but that didn't last long because no one was around.

At noon, we arrived at the shopping center. We went to a few shops, but found nothing. At about the fifth shop Melissa struck gold.

"Lily, look at this!" Melissa pulled out a blue dress. It was perfect. It had the right tone to complement my hair. It was a halter top, with a black belt, and the bottom was silk and flowed down, in what looked like waves, but they were folds. I tried it on, and it fit perfectly. I looked stunning.

After getting the dress, and Melissa buying almost everything from the next few shops, we headed home. It was about five when we got home for dinner. Dinner was an hour later, and mum was very happy we had a good time.

I went to be at about 10:30 pm, leaving Melissa and Albus some time alone together. Before bed I got mail from Lucy, my owl. I had received a returning letter from Scorpius, from my morning letter. I took it to my room and read it.

Dear Flower,

Nothing changed today, I decided they never will. My dad is still not speaking to me, but it`s all right he will come around, at least mum says so. She really wants to meet you. She approves as long as I am happy, and dad won`t do anything horrible, if mum is happy. She believes he will change his mind about you. I forgot to mention yesterday I was walking outside the manor, and I saw a lily. It made me think of you. I am always thinking of you, your smile, your laugh, I miss you so much, and I can't wait to see you. I have something to show you when I come, you will love it. Mum wants me to finish some things before bed, so I have to stop writing. I love you so much, Lily flower.

Love,

Scorpius

I fell asleep with the letter next to my heart, just like every night. I slept till about one in the morning, when I went to get a drink of water. I heard whispers from the living room.

Mum and dad sat with a worried look on both of their faces.

"What are we going to do?" Mum said quietly.

"All we can do is…we try to protect her. Keep her near home." What are they talking about, was the only question on my mind. "I don't know who can trace her from the ministry, so I removed the trace. I was told not to, but if I didn't she would be traceable for the next few months, and we might not have that long."

"She isn't a threat, why are they after her?"

"Ginny, she is a powerful witch, and you remember the prophecy. On top of all that, she is our daughter. They are after her power, and they want to make me suffer." They were talking about a prophecy? One I didn't know about.

"The death eaters won't get far. I am informing many people to watch from a far, but they will step in as things worsen." What was going on? This confused me greatly, and they couldn't know I knew. I walked back to my room before they caught me, and I fell asleep before I could contemplate more.

The rest of the week went quickly. I practiced Quidditch every day except Sunday, outside the Burrow. The flue network between my house and my grandparents was used a lot, since they were the only ones with a big enough area without muggles. Sunday we avaporated there for a family get together, which was rather interesting. Monday came, and Scorpius arrived at nine in the morning, and he moved into Albus` room for the next two weeks.

We had planned for playing quidditch, but it was raining and I wasn't planning to play in the rain today. So we watched a movie. Melissa and I picked, since Albus and Scorpius didn't care what we watched. We chose The Note Book. Albus and Scorpius weren't exactly happy, but they didn't protest.

Our sitting room had two couches, so Al and Melissa sat on one, and Scor and I sat on the other. The movie was romantic, but it was sad in parts. I cried and Scorpius just pulled me closer, to the point where I was sitting on his lap, curled into his chest.

Melissa and Albus sat with Al`s arm over her shoulder and she leaned into him. They were more reserved in front of people. They were spaced on public. Melissa said they were closer when they were alone, but they didn't like to display it in front of people.

"I like this."I said. "I like sitting quietly, knowing what we are both thinking, and being so close."

"Me too." Was his response that he whispered ever so quietly, so it was only hear by the ear it was whispered to.

Dinner was called around five, and I was starving. The seven people gathered around the table. There was a mess of conversation, but eventually everyone was in one conversation. After dinner, we all sat in the sitting room, and we talked, along with Aunt Hermione, Uncle Ron, Rosie, and Hugo, who had arrived after dinner.

Everyone but the parents went outside on the porch, and sat to talk. It was dark and the sky was grey from the clouds covering the starry night sky. The air was crisp and cool.

"So, did you guys decide what you are doing this week?" Rose asked.

"Not really, the weather ruined our plans for today, so we decided to not organize the wee, and see what is going to happen day by day." Albus answered.

There was a snap of a twig, and a rustle of leaves with a crunch.

"What was that?" Melissa screamed. Just then a bolt of light shot towards us and my dad and mum came out, wands in hand.

"Get in the house" my dad yelled at us. We ran inside, and I could hear the dueling outside the door. There was a click of a locking door, and in stepped eight large, black caped men. We all drew our wands out, as they laughed. "Who do you think you are? Your nothing but children, you don't stand a chance." The leader said.

Our parents tried to get in, but they couldn't. the men had put a charm on the door.

"Now listen, Potter girl comes with us, and no one gets hurt. But her." The lead spoke again. Scorpius pulled me behind him."Over my dead body."

"That can be arranged." The man pointed his want at Scorpius. "Avana….."

"Expeliomus" I shot his wand out of his hand. Before I knew it the house was in chaos. Spells were flying everywhere. James eventually got the door open, and our parents got in.

"Scorpius, I know you can avaporated, and so can Albus and James. Get them out of here, James takes rose and Hugo. Albus takes Melissa and you take Lily. Albus should go tell the Ministry, and you take Lily and hide. Send an owl in the morning, and don't let them find her." My dad said to Scorpius. " I trust you with her, don't let me down."

" I wont Sir." With that we went and told the others the plan, and we disappeared from the house.

"Where are we?" I asked, with my head still buried in his chest from avaporating.

"Look around, Lily."

We were outside Hagrid`s hut. I was curious how we got in Hogwarts grounds, but I guessed since it was summer, it wasn't as protected. I could see a dim light from Hagrid`s house, and we walked to the door.

"Who is it?" Hagrid called.

"Hagrid, It`s me." Scorpius answered as Hagrid opens the door.

"Scorpius Malfoy? And Lily Potter?" he looked confused. "What's going on?" He showed us in and Scorpius explained what was happening.

"You two can stay for the night, but I don't believe here is the safest place." Hagrid stated. "I suggest somewhere more, I don't know, hidden."

"I under stand. I was not sure we would be gone long, and I expected tonight to be tough for…" He didn't finish his though, but he didn't have to. Two sets of eyes were on my back, as I looked at the water, trickling down the window, like the tears on my cheeks.

Scorpius came and stood behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist. I turned putting my head in his chest. "I am sorry, I brought you into this." I mumbled trying to hold the tears in, so no more would fall.

"Lily, I tell you this time and time again. I would do anything to make sure you are safe." He looked at me as I brought my head up to look at him. I could see he was worried just as much as I was.

We sat in a chair on the opposite side of the room from Hagrid. I sat on Scorpius`s la, and cried into his chest. I was worried for my family, Scorpius, and I was very confused. Why would they be after me? I fell asleep before I received my answer. I could have slept forever, but the sun peering through the window woke me.

"Thank goodness you are up. I was beginning to wonder if I should wake you up, so I could write your father." Scorpius said as I stood up, and allowed him to move from the chair. At noon, we received a reply from my dad saying not to return home, because there was still a threat of death eaters. He asked where we were, so he could send James and Albus, then we could move to a different location We sent a letter back and at 10p.m. they arrived.

"Where is Melissa?" I asked Albus, knowing she never left his side since they started going out.

"Dad didn't want her involved. She is at Aunt Hermione`s house." Albus replied.

"Then, why did dad involve Scorpius?" I asked Albus.

"He wanted to be involved. Dad has known this for weeks , and he warned Scorpius not to come. Scorpius insisted he help, so dad allowed him." Albus looked around. "Dad believed the house was safe, but he could have been more wrong. They have been planning for months to attack the house last night."

Scorpius could see I was tearing up, so he broke the tension. "So, where are we going?" I laughed knowing what he was doing.

There was a loud bang. "What was that?" I asked surprised by the sound, and seeing shattered vase.

"Lily, get down" James screamed, as a ray of light shot toward me, and I blocked it.

"Where is she?" A man in a dark cape shouted as he broke into the hut. "Ah, there she is." He stepped near me, having his men grab my brothers and Hagrid. He tried to pull me out of Scorpius` arms, but Scorpius fought back. Three men came over, and pulled us a part.

I was thrown into the arms of the man; he pulled up my face tracing it with the tip of his wand. "Who would have thought it would be this easy?" the man asked himself. He removed his hood and revealed a face, covered in scars and bruises. It was pale white. I recognized it, but I couldn't put a name to it. "Such a shame you have to go this way. You're such a pretty girl. Daddy would have loved to marry you off; a sweet face like yours would attract many a suitors.

He slid his hand to my shoulders. "You keep your hands off of her!" Scorpius shouted. They covered his mouth, and his eyes looked tortured and saddened. I scanned the room to see my brothers, Hagrid, and Scorpius mouths covered, held back, and wands on the ground. I was frightened, and the only thing I could think to do is fight the men off, or I was dead.
