Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter, the world would know by now. That is how loud I would scream it. :P
Lily
"Oh Emma!" Lily said wrapping her arms around the older girl. "Don't worry! James doesn't like her anymore! He would never leave you!"
"How do you know!" she sobbed. "I love him! I can't bare to think about life without him!"
"He said so. Remember? The day of the practice match he said, 'I thought Patricia was the one too. But, now I know who it really is.'" Albus remembered. "He's told everyone he loves you more than a thousand times!"
"That's what my old boyfriend said too!" Emma wailed. "Then, his old girl came back for him and he left me! It was that awful breakout of breakups!"
"Everyone broke up at that time!" Scorpius said reassuringly. "It's not going to happen again!"
"James wouldn't do that!" Lily said defending her brother and soothing her 'sister' at the same time.
"He was looking for you you know." Albus told her. "As I was walking down here he barged up and asked me if I'd seen you. He looked worried."
Emma opened her mouth to respond but was cut off by James's relived voice. "There you are Emma!" he called as he ran towards them. "I was looking everywhere for you!"
He caught sight of his girlfriend's tear-stained face and everyone else huddled around her comfortingly. "Em! What's wrong!?" he asked alarmed.
"Nothing. Nothing's wrong." Emma said wiping her face with the over long sleeve of her grey sweater.
James looked at her concerned. He could tell when something was wrong with his girl. "Was it something I did?" he asked anxiously.
"She's scared." Albus told his brother.
"Of what? Never fear! James is here!" James puffed out his chest making Emma smile a sad smile.
"She's scared you're going to leave her for Patricia." Albus said deciding not to beat around the bush or sugar coat it.
Comprehension dawned on James's face. He sat down next to his crying girlfriend and wrapped her in an embrace. He looked her in the eye. "I am never ever going to leave you. Ever. I don't give a damn about Patricia Jackson anymore. I wouldn't give you up for the world. She can flirt all she wants. I'm over her. She left me and I'm not going back. I meant it when I said you're the one. I love you."
Emma beamed and threw her arms around James kissing him. The other three left the couple to their snogging and continued their walk.
Scorpius
"What do you want to do at Christmas?" Albus asked Scorpius suddenly.
He shrugged. "I'm not going 'home'. I'll probably stay here."
Lily and Albus exchanged confused looks that changed to accusatory. "You said you'd tell him!" Lily said exasperatedly.
"I did not!" Albus protested. "You got the letter!"
"Yeah and I showed it to you and you said you wanted to tell him!"
"Not true!"
Lily rolled her eyes. "Never mind." she turned to Scorpius. "Since my dear brother forgot to tell you." Here Albus and her shot eachother glares, "My mum and dad sent a letter ages ago inviting you to stay for Christmas!"
Scorpius's eyes lit up. He had been hoping the Potters would ask him to stay but had kept telling himself not to get his hopes up. It's not like he even could back to Malfoy Manor. He knew he would have to face his parents again eventualy but, he wasn't ready yet. "Really?" he asked in spit of himself.
"Of course Scorpi!" Lily laughed. "You're always welcome with us!"
Those words meant the world to Scorpius. He had never been welcome anywhere. Well, he had never been told he was. He certainly wasn't at his house, Hogwarts had been full of bullies before Lily came and he hadn't had any friends. He had no other place to go. Most ordinary people were against him as he was a Malfoy. They assumed he was just like his father just because he looked like him.
Lily really had changed his life. "That's why I love her so much." he thought.
"I am telling dad though." Albus said bringing Scorpius out of his thoughts.
"What?" Scorpius and Lily both asked at the same time.
"I'm telling dad what Rose did." Albus stated more to Lily than Scorpius.
"No!" Lily yelled. "YOU ARE NOT!"
"Why not?" Albus asked firecely.
"He'll just freak! I'm used to it! Getting Rose in trouble will just make her worse!"
"Dad can help!" Albus argued stubbornly. "I'm telling him and you can't stop me!"
"Scorpius tell him!" Lily demanded.
Scorpius shuffled his feet uneasily. "You both have a point..."
"SEE!" the sibilings yelled at eachother.
"I got to say Albus might be right though." Scorpius continued.
"NOT YOU TOO!" Lily screamed before lapsing into a huffed silence.
Scorpius exchanged looks with Albus. "Lily?" he asked tentively.
"What?" she snapped.
"You know your dad could help."
"No. He can't." Lily said plopping down on the ground. "There is no way to force someone to like someone they hate."
Scorpius and Albus sat down next to her. "But, he could help in other ways." the later said.
Lily shook her head. "I'm scared it'll just make Rose hate me even more."
"No offense but I don't think that's possible." Scorpius told her. Albus punched him lightly and glared at him but Lily laughed.
"You're right." she said. "Besides, I don't want to be scared of Rose anymore. I never want to be scared of her again."
"Good girl Lils!" Albus said affectionately.
Lily turned back to stare at the two pinpricks that were Emma and James.
"They're so lucky!" she sighed to no one in particular.
"I know!" Scorpius and Albus said at the same time.
Lily
The next day when Lily walked into the Great Hall she was met by Aly Longbottom. Alice, or Aly, was the youngest child of Lily's godparents, Neville and Hannah Longbottom. She had two older sibilings, Frank (Who like Aly was named after one of Neville's parents.) and Sarah, who was named after Hannah's deseased mother. She had long blonde hair that she often kept in pigtails like her mother especially when she was cooking. Her eyes were like her father's though. She was fairly tall but not very and not skinny but not fat. Lily had always considered her as one of her nicer cousins along with Hugo, Lucy, and Domonique. Though she never really talked to Lily, she was never mean.
"Hullo Aly!" Lily said brightly trying to hide her puzzlement as to why Aly had walked up to her.
"Hullo Lily." Aly said nervously. "Look, I know I haven't been the nicest to you and I'm really sorry! I just wanted to fit in and I want you to know I always felt bad when I helped Rose bully you and when people compared you to me. I swear I'm not tricking you! You could even use Veritiserum if you wanted to. I really do want to apologize."
Lily nodded at her happily sensing that she was telling the truth. "Thanks." she said.
Aly took a deep breath. "I want to ask you something. Could you do me a favor?"
"That depends on what it is." Lily answered.
"Could you hook me up?"
Lily raised her eyebrows. "With who?" "It better not be my Scorpius." she thought. "Wait! Did I just call him my Scorpius!? No, he's not mine and he's just a friend!... Then why do I feel this odd feeling!"
"Your brother. Albus." she answered in one breath.
Lily beamed. A new girl friend was exactly what Albus needed to get over Sabrina. Ever since Sabrina had began to date a boy called Andrew Perks in the open, (They had a secret relationship before while Sabrina was dating Albus), Albus hadn't really been himself. Lily thought a new girl was just what he needed and who was better for the job then his god sister who obviously wanted to be with him?
"Is that a yes?" Aly asked nervously.
"Oh yes, that is definately a yes." It looked like Lily had some matchmaking to do!
Author's Note: Here it is!
First thing: I got a review from a guest I don't really understand why people bash and hate the next gen characters when we barley know them...people like that are very stupid. I just want to let you know that I don't hate Rose. I just thought it would make a good conflict and it is all part of the plot. Also, if every person in the fanfic is good and kind... it's just not intresting nor natural. I did put that there is Rose bashing so, if you don't like don't read.
Second thing: The question still stands:
What do you think Harry should do when he finds out about what Rose did to Lily?
A.) Confront Ron and Hermione
B.) Get really mad at everyone involved minus Lily
C.) Do nothing
D.) A combination of A and B
or E.) Other (Please specify)
So far it looks like I'll be doing a combination of A and B because people voted A or D.
Third thing: No one seems to have read the author's note at the begining of the last chapter so, I'll re write it :
So, if you read any of my other fanfics, (except my newest one), you would know that I am almost done with this one. I'm not sure how many more chapters there are going to be, but updates will be often. I'm thinking about doing another version of GREEN in which Scorpius and Lily are Gryffindors. Tell me if I should! PLEASE TELL ME! I am probably going to do it anyway.
Lastly: REVIEW!
