song: Nickelback - Far Away
Two years had passed since Scorpius had left Hogwarts. After the initial year mark, his father recommended another one. Blaise Zabini was out for his blood. The whole wizarding world knew what had happened between Lynn and him and she had been disgraced…nobody from pureblood descent wanted their sons to marry Lynn. So Scorpius stayed in France studying wizarding law, something he enjoyed...he wanted to be a re known wizarding lawyer.
Lily on the other hand had to endure two years of studying and a constant war with Lynn Zabini. In fact the whole Slytherin House lived in fear for their lives. Lynn and Lily could be cruel and ruthless when it came to their constant bickering and hexing each other. On one memorable duel between them, Lynn bought a one way ticket to the Hospital Wing for two weeks…nobody messed with Lily Potter, especially when she was angry. Lily was too quick and too good with a wand for Lynn to come out unscathed. McGonagall had even threatened them to detention together if the constant hexing didn't stop, they had to comply and became more careful when hexing each other.
All in all, both of them had two great years. Scorpius now was a prominent wizarding lawyer and Lily had finally graduated from Hogwarts…and had her future all planned out. Throughout those years they were in constant communication.
Lily's Point of View
Lily was excited, finally after two years Scorpius was coming home. She had so many things to tell him. She was currently getting ready for the ball that was taking place later tonight in her house. It was being hosted by her father…the great Harry Potter. The house had been in utter chaos for the whole day, for once she did not pay any attention to the preparations…she had more important things to do besides that was why Miss Green got paid each month.
She was currently fidgeting with Scorpius's graduation present, a beautifully crafted ruby ring that went with her heart pendant, ruby bracelet and earrings…all gifts from him throughout their friendship. On her vanity lay Jordan's gift, she smiled at the thought of her boyfriend…she could not wait for him and Scorpius to get to know each other and become friends…they were currently the most important men on her life, besides her male relatives. Lily heard a miau from her bed, Ashes was a nervous wreck because the house was full of people and motion…he had attacked someone from the catering service, so she decided it was better for everyone to leave him in her bedroom.
It was almost time to go down and start greeting the guests. Lily took a last glance at her reflection, she put on the ruby ring and decided it was better to leave Jordan's gift behind for the time being.
When she reached downstairs people were already mingling, she frowned…it was too early for people to be here already. She spotted Teddy with a very pregnant Victoire chatting with her father and Blinky running around the ball room after little Marie. Grandma Molly and Grandpa Arthur were sitting with Uncle Charlie and Aunt Fleur. Suddenly a little someone got hold of her legs, little Marie was smiling at her urging her to pick her up she smiled at the her and took her in her arms
"Hello there precious," the baby girl smiled at her godmother, she started playing with her heart pendant while Lily greeted the people around them.
Teddy came over to her favorite girls, "I swear Lily, every time you see Marie she becomes more spoiled," She smiled at her big brother
"Godmother's prerogative not to count aunt's too," Teddy laughed at her response and kissed his daughter forehead, Marie was extremely entertained with Lily's pendant that she ignored her father…Teddy just laughed and shrugged it off
"So, where is that cradle robber you call a boyfriend," Teddy had never liked Jordan, he thought that a six years difference was too much, especially if it concerned his baby sister. He resented James for introducing them. He really wanted to know what a 24 year old wanted with a 17 year old. The cradle robber in question made his appearance.
"Teddy," Jordan shook Teddy's hand and tried to kiss Marie's forehead. The girl started squirming and crying, she never liked him as well. He shrugged it off, it only mattered that Harry and James liked him for Lily; the rest could go and screw themselves for all he cared. Teddy took his daughter from Lily and both frowned at him, Jordan could be a pain in the bum and he lacked some manners.
He kissed Lily and left the trio, he needed to talk to Harry and James so he directed himself towards them. The ball room was now full of people.
Scorpius Point of View
Scorpius was extremely nervous; he was talking with Stephen in the middle of Potter Manor ball room. He would finally see Lily after two longs years, he was frantically searching for the petite red head…no luck whatsoever. War was seconds from beginning…his worst fear was a cruel truth, Lily found someone while he was away…she had a boyfriend, just the thought made him gag. He was angry at Lynn, she was the cause of all of his miseries but thankfully he was here to stay. His staying enabled him to fight till the very end for Lily…two years apart had only made him love her more. Over the two years they were apart he had made a routine of owling her minimally 2 times a week, he did not wanted to appear as a desperate lovesick puppy.
Two hours had passed and even though he had spotted Lily, he could not go to her. Something was always on his or her way. Scorpius was a little bit drunk when he decided it was time to go to her since she was not coming to him.
Lily's Point of View
Everything was hectic; Miss Green was incapable of doing anything right. For hours house elves, caterers and who knows who else had been pestering her for opinions or problems with the food, the chairs, the linens…she was about to snap. She went looking for Miss Green, she had to take responsibility for the ball…it was her job.
Finally everything was in order and she could enjoy the evening. Jordan was nowhere on site, truthfully she was not worried…she had spotted a tall blonde guy at the other end of the room; she smiled and went to say hi to her long-lost friend.
Scorpius was chatting with Stephen Parker and Brent Rosier. She sneaked behind him and covered up his eyes, "Guess who?" in seconds he had turned and caught Lily in an embrace
"Missed you little red," he kissed her cheek. Lily could not believe he was finally home, she had not noticed how much she really had missed him.
She took his hand, "Let's go outside," Lily started walking towards the balcony that was above the gardens. Lily and Scorpius were leaning on the balcony rail, immersed on a comfortable silence. They had missed each other terribly and were just enjoying each other company.
Lily started talking about everything that had happened the last two years at Hogwarts. She detailed every prank and confrontation with Lynn. Scorpius was hollowing with laughter, in a million years he had never imagined that much creativity coming from someone so small. He was picturing Lily transfiguring Lynn into a toad and locking her up in a glass jar for two days. They were both laughing at the memory of her Hogwarts antics.
Lily sighed, "Scor, are you leaving again?" her eyes reflected sadness. He could not resist those hazel eyes
"No I am not. I got a job at the Ministry," she smiled at him. Her life was a little bit chaotic and she needed him to try and keep a balance. Lily could sometimes be an egoist, she wanted everything for herself.
Both of them tried to talk at the same time, they both laughed. "Scorpius you first," he raised his eyebrow and chuckled
This was his chance. He needed to tell her how he felt.
This time, this place Misused, Mistakes. Too long, too late who was I to make you wait
She was looking at him with expectant eyes; he noticed that she was wearing the ruby ring he had sent as a present for her graduation. The heart pendant had become a part of her, she never took it off. They were in a comfortable silence once again. Scorpius could not utter a single word.
Just one chance. Just one breath. Just in case there's just one left. 'Cause you know, you know, you know
Scorpius finally broke the silence, "Lily," she turned to face him, "I know its late…for me…for us…," Lily was confused, what is he talking about?, "since the day I found you on that classroom I knew my life had changed," Lily was speechless and just kept staring at him, "over the months I came to know the real you…the real Potter Princess," he closed his eyes, now he could not chicken out.
That I love you, I have loved you all along. And I miss you. Been far away for far too long. I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go. Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore
He took her hands on his and stared directly into her eyes "You are the most caring, loving, honest and loyal girl I have ever known. I had to protect you from everything, even from yourself. You complement me to perfection, you are the only one that knows the real me," he looked at her confused expression, "Lily…I…I love you," there, he had said it…now the ball was on her court
On my knees, I'll ask Last chance for one last dance. 'Cause with you, I'd withstand All of hell to hold your hand. I'd give it all I'd give for us, Give anything but I won't give up. 'Cause you know, you know, you know
Lily couldn't think. He had to be messing with her. She was going to lose her best friend. She had to talk to him, tell him everything that was going on her life
So far away. Been far away for far too long. So far away. Been far away for far too long. But you know, you know, you know
Lily closed her eyes and thought about the best way to respond to him. She needed to do this in the gentlest way possible or else she would lose him forever.
I wanted, I wanted you to stay. 'Cause I needed, I need to hear you say, That I love you I have loved you all along. And I forgive you For being away for far too long. So keep breathing 'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore. Believe it Hold on to me and, never let me go
"Scor…I do love you," his face lighted up at her words, "Not in that way…Scor...I...I am engaged," his face became blank…he never imagined that she would answer him with that, engaged…she is fricking engaged. Lily could not face him, she ran into the house leaving a startled Scorpius rooted to the ground playing over and over her last words…engaged.
Scorpius Point of View
Scorpius was rooted to his spot. She was engaged…that was something he did not wanted to process. She had agreed to spend the rest of her life with another man; he could not interfere in something that big. He did not know what to do, his mind was not working and he was hurting…he was heartbroken.
Suddenly someone came out of nowhere and grabbed him by the shirt, "What the hell did you do to Lily?" a guy he supposed was the fiancé yelled at his face
That guy was messing with the wrong person tonight. He glared at him with the infamous Malfoy glare, then he held his wrists with such force that the bones in his left wrist started to crack
"I don't know who the hell you are. I seriously recommend you let go of my shirt," he still glared at the man that had crushed his dreams, "I didn't do anything to Lily…how could I, when she is my life…" that statement left Jordan Kengsinton speechless, nevertheless he grabbed Scorpiu's shirt with more force
"Stay away from my girl. You understand?" Scorpius smirked at him; he had been threatened by this low life Yankee…nobody threatened Scorpius Malfoy and certainly the ones that did got what they deserved.
In a swift movement Scorpius had his wand pointing directly to his throat, "You were saying…" Jordan let go of him and stared at his opponent, he took out his wand. Before he was able to do anything Scorpius disarmed him and got a hold on Jordan's wand.
"Don't ever touch me again. Don't ever threaten me and if you do anything to Lily you'll be praying that the Potters get to you first," Scorpius menacing look was frightening; Jordan was trying to control his fear but barely succeeding.
Out of the blue Lily came back to the balcony and raised an eyebrow at the sight she had met. Scorpius with his wand out and a wandless Jordan was pressed to the wall. She frowned
"Scorpius," her stern tone caught the blonde's attention. He frowned at his enemy
"Thank Lily you are alive," he threw Jordan's wand to the floor, "Lily congratulations. From now on I swear I won't interfere in your life. I wish you the happiness you are looking for, but please don't invite me to the wedding," Scorpius left the two of them on the balcony.
Lily's Point of View
Lily was watching Scorpius's retreating back, out of habit her hand rested on the heart shaped pendant he had given her. She began to cry…she had lost the only person that had been there for her when she needed it the most. She hoped this would pass and they could be friends again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Months passed and Lily had not heard from Scorpius. He wasn't responding to her letters, she was extremely sad about the way things had worked. She was musing over everything when she arrived at The Burrow. Grandma Molly wanted to go over some wedding stuff and she had invited her over for lunch
After apparating outside the house and entering it, she went directly to the kitchen. Pots, kettles and silverware were working on their lunch but Molly Weasley was nowhere on site. She decided to go and say hi to her grandpa, which was probably at his shed working on something.
She took a piece of bread and ate it on her way to the shed where her grandfather had stored all his muggle contraptions. She entered and found no one, still something was off, on the table was a steaming mug. Lily walked over there and tripped over something. She was on the floor, she looked over to see what had caused this little accident…what she saw turned her blood into ice...out of her mouth escaped a heart breaking scream.
"GRANDMA," she started screaming over and over. Tears began descending through her cheeks as she started shaking her grandfather's body, "Please grandpa, open your eyes," she was sobbing uncontrollably, "please…please,"
Molly Weasley entered the shed when she heard someone screaming, the sight she found felt surreal, she ran towards her husband and checked him"Lily. HELP ME, he is still breathing" Lily reacted to her grandmother and helped her move his body so they could take him to St. Mungo's, he was still alive.
