"You did what?" Lily choked on her butterbeer. Lily, Clara, and Scoprius were sitting in a booth at the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley.

Clara looked at her strange. "I broke up with Taylor," she said slowly. Scorpius looked bored.

"Why on Earth would you do that? You've liked him for a while I thought!" Lily stared at her best friend like she had two heads.

"I thought I did. Then when we finally got together I realized that I didn't like him happens. Besides, I like someone else now," Clara told her.

Lily got wide eyed. "Tell me who!"

"Can't with fancy pants here." Clara jerked her finger towards Scorpius.

"What? Huh- I can leave? Thank god." Scorpius got and walked over to some of his friends from school.

Lily rolled her eyes at him. "Now tell me!"

"First answer one question: Do you have any feelings for Scorpius?" she asked. Lily shook her head. "Okay, good, because I kinda like him."

"What?" Even though Lily had told her friend that she didn't like him the idea of Clara and Scorpius together made her sick to her stomach. "But I thought..."

"After we started hanging out with him I learned to like him." Clara blushed. "Anyway, what's up with you? Any new guys you want?"

Lily took this as her chance. "Yeah, Taylor Thomas," Lily said without thinking.

"Wha- but-" Scorpius walked back over to them and slid in next to Lily. Clara was glaring at Lily and Lily was talking to Scorpius about Hogwarts, ignoring her best friend.


Later that day, Clara left and it was just Lily and Scorpius. "What happened between you and Clara?"

"Girl things, you don't wanna know about it." Lily stuck her hands deeper into her pockets. "Isn't it 'uncool' for a sixth year to be seen with a fourth year?"

"Not really. Besides you're Slytherin, you're cool," Scorpius said.

"I'm only cool because I'm in Slytherin? You don't just think I'm naturally cool?" Lily asked.

Scorpius rolled his eyes. "Nope."

"Why not? I'm utterly adorable and am on the Quidditch team. What other things do you need to be cool?"

Scorpius seemed to be trying to hold in laughter. "Utterly adorable won't get you very far, Lily. Sorry to burst your bubble on that one."

Lily smirked. "So you're agreeing that I'm utterly adorable?"

Scorpius cursed under his breath. "Uh, what? I never said that..." She just stuck her tongue out at him. Changing the subject, he asked, "So, what do you want to do for the next half an hour?"

"Hmm..." A smile lit her face. "C'mon." She grabbed his hand and dragged him through the streets of Diagon Alley.

"Where are we going?" he asked. She didn't answer until they were outside a shop that said Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. "This is your Uncles' shop right?"

"Yeah, best joke shop there is. Come on." Lily continued to drag Scorpius into the shop. He looked around the shop in awe. He'd never been in here because of his dad but... "Scorpius? Earth to Scorpius!"

He just realized that Lily had been waving her hand in front of his face. "Sorry, huh, what?"

Lily rolled her eyes. "Look." She put a hat on her head and her head disappeared along with the hat. When she saw Scorpius's wide-eyes she took it off. "Impressive, huh?"

"Very." Scorpius continued to look around the store. He had to admit, it was very a very impressive selection of items. Then he realized his hand was still clamped in Lily's. She didn't seem to notice, she was staring at little multi-colored puffs. "What you looking at?"

"Pygmy Puffs," someone answered behind them. Lily turned around, releasing Scorpius's hand.

"Uncle George!" Lily smiled and gave the red head a hug. Next to him, Scorpius noticed that Lily's hair was more of an auburn color instead of the red the Weasley had.

"Your mum loved those things too," George said. Another red head appeared next to him.

He looked a little bit annoyed. "What's Malfoy doing here?" Scorpius immdiately tensed up a bit.

Lily rolled her eyes. "Be nice, Uncle Ron. Scorpius is my friend." Scorpius just glared at Ron. "And we were just leaving. Let's go, Scorpius." Instead of grabbing his hand, she grabbed his forearm and led him out of the store. "Sorry 'bout my Uncle Ron. He knows how to hold a grudge. He even warned my cousin Rose to stay away from you on her first day." Her speech wasn't making him feel any less agitated. "Anyway, we should probably get back home. I'll see you back at Hogwarts in a week." Lily released his arm and walked away.


It was Christmas Eve and this was the day all of the cousins and aunts and uncles would exchange presents. On Christmas Day it was just the immediate family. The Burrow was very full on Christmas Eve.

"You have all the presents?" their mum asked them. She was always in hysterics on Christmas because of all the presents they had to bring. There were so many people, it was hard to buy one for each of them.

Each Potter was packed with presents. James looked at his mum like she was crazy. "Mum, if we hold anymore, we'll be dead weight! We've got all of them!"

Their dad walked into the room holding his own pile of presents. "Ready to go?" Everyone nodded.

They each took a turn with the Floo Powder and went to the Burrow, except for James, he Apparated. Luckily, they were the first ones there. Lily put the presents she was holding under the tree. Sighing in relief, she fell into the nearest couch.

"Who's here?" their grandmother called.

"Us, Mum!" Ginny called back. Grandma Weasley walked into the room.

"So nice to see you all! Look at you, Lily, you've probably grown three inches since last time I saw you." Her grandma hugged her, then Albus, then James, complaing that he needed a haircut.

Soon the living room was packed with red heads. At the dinner table outside she found herself squished between Fred and Hugo, who were having a thumb war while she was between them. It was starting to get on her nerves. "Stop!" she snapped at them.

"Don't ruin the fun, Lils," Fred said to her.

She narrowed her eyes. "Don't play with me in between you or I'll break your thumbs."

"Ow..." Hugo rubbed his thumbs like she already did. "Trade seats with me." Grumbling under her breath, she obliged. Now she was squished between Hugo and Hermione.

"Hey, Lily," Fred's sister Roxanne said to her from across the table. Lily nodded and ate her food.

An hour later Grandma Weasley asked, "How was the food?"

The room was filled with a chorus of, "Goods","Amazing", and "Wonderfuls." Lily, instead of answering, sat on the couch, really full.

Fred and his dad immdiately started passing out presents. Even though George was an adult he acted like a little kid. Everyone had a gazillion presents around them when they were done. They didn't take turns because it would take hours to open all the presents.

The room was filled with sounds of paper ripping and kids saying things like "This is awesome!" Lily ripped open a small red box. Inside was a diary that grew bigger in size when she opened it. She guessed this was from her Aunt Hermione.

Of course she got things from Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes from her Uncle George. The best present she got that night was a book about why Gryffindors and Slytherins were similar, but it didn't say whom it was from.

"What'd you get, James?" she asked.

"Aunt Hermione gave me a study planner for the N.E.W.T.s, Uncle George gave me some Skiving Snackboxes, Grandma gave me a book for 30 second recipes, and a lot more," he replied.

Lily turned back to her pile of presents. By the time the Potter family actually left, Lily'd fallen asleep on the couch.

"Lily, honey, wake up," she heard someone saying to her. Lily opened her eyes up to see her mother. "It's time to go."

She sat up. They were still at the Burrow but her mum, her dad, Albus, James, and her grandparents were the only ones in the room. Lily blushed in embarrassment. Giving her grandparents quick hugs they left the Burrow to the Potter home in Godric's Hallow.
