Author's Notes: It's all J.K. Rowlings's.
The sky seemed to not have decided what the weather should be for today. Rain would pelt against the windows of the castle for a while, than the sun would poke out for some time until the clouds covered it against. It was exactly how Lily and Scorpius were feeling at the moment.
People who had heard the fight told their friends, who told their friends, and so forth, until the whole school had known that the two were currently not talking. If James Potter were asked about the event, he would say that he knew Malfoy would be trouble, and it was a good thing he was gone now, before he corrupted his sister too much. Scorpius's friends replied that Lily was just a small distraction, and Scorpius deserved much better friends. It was strange how both sides judged, even though neither knew what had actually happened.
Lily and Scorpius weren't sure what to make of the whole thing. Both being stubborn, neither wanted to apologize, yet expected the other to come and do it. But unlike their friends, they knew that their friendship was not over, simply at a standstill. And it was purely by coincidence that the two ran into each other, right in the corridor they had met.
"How'd I know you come here again?" Scorpius said as he watched the rain outside and Lily, who had just walked up to the window, looked startled.
"You have a sixth sense or something." Lily answered sarcastically. The two stood in silence for a few moments, until she cleared her throat.
"Well?"
"Well what?" Scorpius said skeptically.
"Don't you have something to say to me?" Lily said.
"Like…?" Scor asked.
"I don't know, maybe an apology or something of the sort."
"What did I do?" Scorpius asked angrily.
"You messed up our plans." Lily said with frustration.
"I didn't mess them up, I thought-" Scorpius began, but Lily cut him off.
"You obviously weren't thinking, or else we wouldn't be in this situation."
"But Killian, you were-"
"He's my boyfriend, you're my best friend. You're way more important." Scorpius raised his eyebrows. "Don't give me that look, it's true." There was more silence.
"Well?" Lily said angrily, almost to the point of shouting.
"Oh, well," Scorpius stuttered," I guess you're right. I did jump to conclusions and all, but you should definitely-"
"All that's needed is an apology, Scor."
"Fine, fine, fine. I'm sorry for not thinking." Lily grinned widely for the first time since their fight, but she wasn't done yet.
"You have to promise me one thing though, before I forgive you."
"That would be…"Scorpius said.
"Don't be an ass about Ryan, he's really a great guy."
"Alright, but if he does anything to hurt you, I'll-"
"Don't worry Scor, Jamie and Al have the big brother thing covered." Scorpius nodded, and went over to Lily, slipping an arm over her shoulders.
"We should definitely double date, Scor."
"Buggie, there's no way I could endure that."
If it seems like Scorpius makes a lot of mistakes, don't worry, Lily makes them too, just later on. Hope you like this one, and please review!
