Warning: As this fic isn't rated M; just letting readers know, this chapter has sexual references and underage drinking.
Lily and Cassie held hands walking behind the other Slytherins down the corridors to Hufflepuff.
"May I say you ladies look lovely tonight," Thomas walked over next to Cassie.
"You may, and we know," Cassie smiled.
Lily noticed Scorpius trailing behind; she slowed down to walk with him leaving Cassie and Thomas alone.
She was now walking with him, but she had no idea what to say. She didn't even know if he was jealous or just being his brooding self. He was wearing an emerald green shirt (matching her dress perfectly btw) and black dress pants, his muscles showed through the shirt making him utterly irresistible.
"Hey," Lily said awkwardly.
"Hey," he replied looking at his feet.
She didn't know what to say, she always did, but for some reason she felt incredibly guilty.
"You look nice Lil," Scorpius commented breaking the awkwardness. "Just watch out with Lorcan, you know, he's got a bit of a reputation."
"I've grown up with Lorcan my whole life, I think I know him a bit better than you do, and who are you to talk," Lily snapped.
He had no right, to tell her to 'watch out', he barely knew Lorcan. And besides; his reputation was arguably worse than Lorcan's lately.
"Yer, well I'm not always like what people say I am, reputations are deceiving," Scorpius replied getting quite worked up.
"Have you ever though Lorcan is the same?"
Lily knew very well that Lorcan did live up to his reputation; she had witnessed him with many girls.
"God, Lily!" Scorpius yelled with frustration. "I'm just trying to look out for you, protect you."
"I don't need your protection Scorpius; I'm perfectly capable of looking after myself," Lily scoffed walking faster to catch up to Cassie and Thomas.
Everyone had no doubt heard her little argument with Scorpius, and together the Slytherins walked in silence to the Hufflepuff common room. They reached the portrait at the entrance.
"Password?" the portrait of a middle aged wizard asked.
All the slytherins looked at each other realising no one actually knew the password.
"JUST KIDDING," the portrait laughed. "I know how you crazy kids are these days, go right inside, get jiggy, and have fun kids!"
"Man do I love Hufflepuff," Thomas chuckled.
Everyone grinned at each other as the portrait swang open and revealed a large room where hundreds of rowdy teenagers danced and drank. Scorpius was dragged off by a very intoxicated Amanda (who was wearing minimal as per usual), Thomas went straight for the dance floor and Cassie made her way to the bar.
Lily looked around trying to find someone she knew. There were heaps of people, it was too crowed and basically impossible to recognise anyone under the flashing lights; why would they need some many strobe and colourful lights.
"LILY!" Mason, the Quidditch captain yelled. The music was so loud she could barely hear him
"Hey!" she yelled back.
"Here, it's the traditional welcome to Hogwarts shot."
He passed her a shot of some sort of green liquid. Lily had only ever drunk a few times, but never had been drunk. She looked up (like a foot) at Masons charming smile, he winked at her and took a shot himself. Lily returned the smile and drank her shot also.
"at'a girl," he chuckled at her disgusted face.
He signalled towards the balcony, and began walking over to it, Lily followed him.
"So Lily Potter, how are you enjoying your first Hogwarts party?" he asked when they reached the quiet balcony.
"It's alright I guess, the ones at Beauxbatons were always a lot more… ummm… dignified," Lily mumbled.
"I know what you mean; on the holidays my family always has these…"
Lily tuned out to Mason's story and spotted a couple getting a bit hot and heavy over on the other balcony. As they turned around she recognised them as Amanda and Scorpius, she watched as his shirt was unbuttoned and she played with his waist band.
"Lily? Lily?" Mason caught her attention again.
"Sorry, I was just distracted," lily apologized.
Why was Scorpius even with her? She was fowl, disgusting; Lily honestly couldn't understand the appeal of her at all.
A waiter walked up to them carrying a plate of shots. Lily quickly drank 3 of them as Mason watched impressed.
"Wow, you sure like to drink for a 15 year old," he grinned.
"You know what, I feel like dancing," Lily exclaimed walking over to the dance floor leaving him behind.
Lily found Thomas in the middle of the dance floor and began dancing with him. The dance floor was so crowed, she was squished up right against heaps of people, but she didn't seem to care.
As Lily was dancing she felt someone dancing right behind her, she grinded into him while dancing. Usually should have morals and standards on such things, but quite frankly she didn't care right now. She felt his hands grab her waist and pull her in closer to him, his hands trailed up her body a bit too far. Before she could stop him from touching her inappropriately everything went blurry and then black.
"Lily? Lily? Are you okay?" A muffled voice asked.
Lily opened her eyes and eventually the blurry figure turned into Lorcan Scamander. She must admit, maybe she was hoping to set eyes on a love struck looking Scorpius, but her life isn't some fairy tale.
"Oh thank god," he sighed looking relieved.
Lily looked around the room to find she was in the hospital wing in Hogwarts; she sat up in her bed.
"W-what happened?" she asked confused.
"You must have passed out," Lorcan explained. "Too much alcohol no doubt, what were you thinking Lil?"
She looked at Lorcan who was still in his muggle dress robes. His hair was a mess, and looked like he slept here all night.
"I dunno," she mumbled.
Lorcan leaned in and hugged her. She hadn't seen this side of Lorcan before, well at least not for a long time. He used to be one of the sweetest kids going around, much like his brother Lysander, but all of a sudden he changed.
"Look, I'm really sorry about yesterday with the whole kiss thing and I just wasn't to know what's—"
"Lil, its ok, we'll talk about tonight okay? After your Quidditch practice?" He suggested.
Lily nodded and hugged him again, just as Annabelle walked in.
"Well, I guess I'll leave, see ya tonight Lils!" Lorcan smiled walking out of the hospital wing.
Annabelle smiled at him and walked over to Lily's bed and stood at the end of it.
"I heard you got totally wasted last night," Annabelle smirked. "You're such an embarrassment. I hope you know that."
Lily was surprised at Annabelle abrupt insult.
"I saw you grinding on the dance floor, like some common hore," she continued. "And now scheduling quickies with Lorcan Scamander, I mean can you be any slutier?"
Lily didn't know how to respond, so instead she just sat still in silence waiting for the unwelcome guest to leave.
"Now, I f you don't mind, not that I care, I have to leave," she explained. "There's someone I need to catch up with, toodles."
Annabelle gave her a malicious look and walked out. God that girl was a pain. Maybe there really was no hope of them ever being friends. Lily blushed embarrassed at what ever happened last night; she hadn't even had that much to drink, that she could remember.
She looked at the clock on the wall; she must have slept all day. It was 5oclock time for Quidditch practise. Lily looked around for Madam Hallfrig the nurse, but couldn't find her so she left.
She walked down to the Slytherin dorms to go get her Quidditch uniform thinking about last night. She was never drinking again. Lily just hoped her brothers hadn't heard about her little… experience, otherwise her dad would be down here within the hour.
Lily sprinted up to her dorm to find her Quidditch uniform shredded.
"Bloody Hell!" Lily yelled.
Could Annabelle just leave her alone, god, she's not such a model citizen either.
"Hey Lil. Oh wow, ummm do you wanna borrow my old uniform?" Scorpius asked walking in.
Lily smiled at him and nodded. In 10 seconds he returned with a spare uniform. Lily walked into the bathroom to get changed.
"Hey, so I heard about last night," Scorpius began talking to her.
Lily closed the door a bit more for some privacy.
"Hasn't the whole school?" Lily inquired slightly embarrassed.
"Oh yea, I guess," he continued. "But no need to worry, I mean, heaps of people passed out. There were like 20 who ended up with Madam Hallfrig for company all night."
Lily felt so relieved. She walked out in a very oversized uniform.
"Ready?" he asked.
A/N: Ok so I'm aware some people don't like this fic very much, and I'm completely open to constructive and honest criticism. But please don't go to such lengths 'I HATE YOU' and 'pile of rubbish' blah blah blah. Don't be mistaken into thinking I'm hurt by this, the only reason I'm mentioning this is it bothers me that some people feel the need to be unnecessarily nasty because they don't like the story line. If you don't like it; don't read it, it's that simple: you don't have to review every chapter with just plain mean comments.
Sorry the chapters a bit dodgy, just a bit of a transition into what I want to happen.
On a happier note, thanks to everyone else, you're all so lovely, keep reviewing
Next chapter: lily and Lorcan talk, Lily confronts Annabelle; Lily and Scorpius fluff
