Lily's POV

Hogsmeade

Scorpius takes me out of the great hall and out of the castle. I've felt strange around him for the past few weeks. It is like we can tell each other anything without worrying about what other people think. I never felt that way about Andrew and look how that turned out. Who did he think I had been cheating on him with? I've never had a boyfriend before him, but when I told him that he didn't believe me. He said he thought he could kiss the daughter of Harry Potter, but I was a pain in the ass and probably kissing someone else behind his back. The he thought it over and said that he took it back and that I don't have any friends at all. After that I ran to the common room crying my eyes out. The saddest part was I was crying there for twenty minutes before Scorpius walked in. No one seemed to care that I was there. I guess that is why we understand each other so well, we are both outcasts.

"Lily, snap out of it," Scorpius says snapping his fingers in front of my face.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about yesterday," I mumble trying to hold back tears and failing miserably.

"Lily, whatever Andrew said to you yesterday, he was lying. Tell me what's wrong, Lily. I just want to help you," Scorpius says brushing the falling tears off my face.

"What Andrew said isn't bothering me. It's the fact that no one else cared that I was upset. You and Albus had classes and Izzy, Kyle, and James weren't around…and no one cared that I was crying for twenty minutes by myself. It just proves that no one can like a person like me. Andrew was right," I sob once again having that conversation running through my head.

"Andrew is a lying git. You have friends, Lily, I'm your friend, Kyle, Izzy, Amanda, Lena, and Artemis are your friends. On top of that you have your entire family. You aren't alone. The people who don't want to know you are idiots. If you didn't have friends you wouldn't be in Hogsmeade with me attempting to have a good time," he murmurs putting something in my hand.

When I look at what he put in my hand it is a small gift. "Open it," he whispers hugging me still wiping some excess tears off my face.

"Sure," I give him a weak smile and delicately open the little box. I lift the box top up to see a charmed lily flower. Its petals are soft but the flower itself seems to be frozen in time.

"It's beautiful, Scorpius, how did you do it?" I ask completely amazed.

"It took me a while, I set like three lilies on fire tying to spell it right. Eventually I did though," he answers modestly.

"It's brilliant. Thank you so much!" I exclaim hugging him, completely forgetting that we are in the middle of Hogsmeade where everyone is watching.

"Let's take you to Honeydukes (A/N-is that how you spell it? Because I don't think it is XD)."

"Sure," I say apprehensively seeing a happy twinkle in his eyes. When we walk into the bar I hear, "Surprise, happy birthday, Lily!" I jump back nearly a foot and into Scorpius.

"Go and see your family, Lily," he smiles at me and go and mingle with my family.

"Lily-flower, happy birthday!" James says holding his hands behind his back.

"Here is your present," he tells me thrusting a little kitten into my face. "Aw, what a cute kitty. Wait, why did you get me a cat?" I ask taken aback.

"You like cats, I like cats, we all win right?" He questions me and I give him an incredulous look.

"But-" I start to object but James gives me a murderous look and orders, "Take the cat." I quickly took the kitten out of his hands and held it close.

Albus and Scorpius come over a few minutes later and look at the cat in my arms. "Is that a cat?" Scorpius asks completely serious.

"Thank you, Captain Obvious," I say with the sarcasm dripping in my voice.

"No problem, Sargent Sarcasm!" He exclaims saluting me mockingly.

The rest of the party goes by without anything happening. My dad even acted civil around Scorpius! It was a landmark, normally he just ignores Scorpius. By the end of the party I had gotten presents from everyone, right before we all exit to head back to school Teddy stops us. "Hey, sorry for not telling you all sooner, but Victoire and I are getting married!" He tells us all happily! Aunt Hermoine looks at the time and shoos us all back to the castle quickly.

"Come on, you lot need to get back to class," Ron says mockingly and we all run to the castle faster than you can say quidditch.

We made it to the castle with a minute to spare. McGonagall gives us all a look that says 'you are all so lucky I'm not giving you detention right now.' We run straight into the castle and into the Gryffindor common room. The little kitten is in my coat pocket sleeping quietly. Izzy got me a cat bed and Kyle got me cat food. Al gave me sketch pads, while Amanda got me pencils. Lena gave me a book on how to draw your cat. Artemis gave me a guide on how to train you kitten. I can't believe everyone was in on the cat joke!

"Why did they get me a cat?" I ask Scorpius puzzled. "I have no idea. I think that James decided you need another friend," he replies grinning while I'm still at a loss.

"You don't like the cat?" He accuses me astonished.

"No, I love the kitten. I just haven't been able to figure out a name for him yet. James knows I am horrible with names," I sigh out and then Scorpius snaps his fingers.

"How about you name him Duke? He sleeps like he's royalty," he says coming up with the name out of nowhere.

"I like it. Thank you, Scorpius, for everything," I kiss him on the cheek. I start to walk out of the room, but Scorpius grabs my arm and kisses on the lips. I was surprised at first, but then kiss him back without thinking what crazy consequences this would follow.

"Happy Birthday, Lily, have a good night," he whispers kissing my forehead.

I walk up to my dorm in daze and fall asleep happily in my bed.

A/N

Oh, young love, the beauty, the innocence, the emotions...and the awkwardness. Haha, well anyways, the whole marriage thing was random, not lying. Yell at me for it if you must, but some things you just have to yell to the world. While some are done behind closed door. (insert dirty joke here X)...Comment, review, and watch you back the animals are hunting us now.
