I do not own Harry Potter.

AN: This is a short chapter but I hope you like it. I tried to focus on Lily and her reactions to everything.

The day of the trial came quicker than Lily was prepared for. She had been a complete disaster all week and had been getting bitchier every day. She had already yelled at every one of her family members this morning and had even thrown Scorpius out of her room. She was aware that she was unbearable but she just couldn't get control of her emotions…

There was a knock at the door and Lily yelled, "Go away!"

"Lily, I just want to make sure you're ok…" said Scorpius from the other side of the door

Lily groaned and yelled back, "No, I'm not bloody well OK! Now, go away!"

"Is there anything I can do for you?" asked Scorpius

Lily couldn't take it anymore, she stormed to the door, threw it open, and yelled, "Yes, you can go downstairs and wait for me, like I asked!"

Lily hadn't realized that her brothers were with Scorpius and she was standing in front of them in her black lace bra and underwear. They quickly turned around and Scorpius mumbled something, then the three of them went downstairs. Lily slammed the door shut behind them and moved to her closet, trying to find something to wear. She spent a good twenty minutes throwing clothes around before she grabbed something that had fallen off the hanger and was on the floor in the back of her closet. She picked it up and gasped, quickly dropping it and backing out of her closet. She sat down on the floor leaning against the bed and began to cry.

That's how Harry found her 10 minutes later when he came to check on her. He knocked several times but received no answer, so worried he opened the door and the sight of her broke his heart…

"Lily?" asked Harry tentatively approaching her. She didn't reply so he sat down in front of her and said again, "Lily."

She looked up, with tears running down his face and launched herself into his arms. The boys had all followed Harry up and were looking in the room quietly watching the scene play out.

Harry was a little uncomfortable since Lily was only in her bra and underwear but she was obviously upset so he did his best to comfort her. "Do you want to talk about it?"

Lily sobbed harder and said something that Harry couldn't understand. He looked over Lily to the boys to see if any of them had understood her. Al and James shook their head but Scorpius came closer and said, "You couldn't find anything to wear, Lily?"

"NO," she wailed then pulled away from Harry a little to say more, "I couldn't….and….I….picked up….this dress…it…was ….on the floor!" Lily was hiccupping between every word and she could barely catch her breath she was so upset.

"OK…."

"It was….it was his favorite!" sobbed Lily

Scorpius frowned, got up, went into Lily's closet and picked the dress up off the floor. He took it and started to walk out of the room with it….

"Wait!" yelled Lily suddenly

Scorpius stopped and turned to look at her curiously and they all waited for her to respond.

She stood up and wiped her tears from her face and took a few deep breaths then said in an unwavering tone, "This is stupid. Give me the dress."

They all frowned at her and she snapped, "Give it to me! I'll be damned if I let that bastard turn me into a blithering idiot over a fucking dress! Give. Me. The. Dress. I'm wearing it today, so the fucker can squirm."

Scorpius hesitated so she walked over and grabbed it from him and threw it on. She then went back to her closet and grabbed her shoes, put them on, and said, "Let's go. I'm ready now." She then walked out of her room and down the stairs leaving them all speechless from her extreme mood swings. It was going to be a long day for all of them.

They arrived at the Ministry and it was complete chaos in the atrium. There were people and reporters everywhere and Aurors were standing by to escort them downstairs to the courtroom, which thankfully was closed to the public and the press. Once they made it to the lift, Harry sighed in relief. They exited and were greeted by the prosecutors, but Lily kept walking not seeming to want to stop and chat with anyone. Harry motioned for everyone to go with her while he stayed and discussed last minute things.

Lily was in a bit of a daze. She couldn't stand all the people around her, she felt like she couldn't breathe. She knew her family didn't know what to do and she appreciated their support but she just wanted to scream in frustration and get away from everyone. She was walking down the packed hallway towards the courtroom when she heard a whisper in her ear, "Princess…"

She stopped suddenly and looked around, making several people have to quickly move to avoid crashing into her. She heard it again, "Princess…" and looked to Scorpius to see if he was also hearing it but he was looking at her strangely, wondering why she had suddenly stopped.

She scanned the hallway again and that's when she saw him. He was staring straight at her and he had this disgusting smirk on his face. She narrowed her eyes at him and he winked at her. Lily was frozen, she was furious that he would taunt her but she was also terrified of him.

The two stared at each other for a minute before Scorpius realized what was going on. He quickly filled Al and James in and grabbed Lily gently by the arm and pulled her away, breaking eye contact with Jamie.

Lily shook her head, she knew Scorpius was talking to her but she couldn't really understand anything he was saying. She just looked at him dumbly not saying anything. Why was she so affected by seeing…him? Where was all that anger from this morning? She felt like a pathetic little girl that needed protecting and this made her furious. She'd be damned to let him see her scared. Suddenly her entire aura changed and everyone around her could feel it. She was bullshit. She was going to make this bastard pay for what he did to her.

Harry broke off his conversation when he noticed something happening with Lily, she seemed to have stopped and was looking quite fearful. As Harry made his way over to her he could feel and see the change in Lily from scared to angry. She was practically radiating dark magic.

They were then called into the courtroom and Jamie was seated on the left side with his defense lawyers while Lily was sitting in the front row of the right side behind the prosecutors. Her Dad was sitting on one side of her and Scorpius was sitting on her other side but she still felt exposed. Jamie was sitting slightly sideways so that he could see her and he kept smiling at her. She wasn't paying attention to what was being said but she could tell the prosecutors were listing all the charges. Then the defense was saying something about testimonies. She saw a piece of parchment be handed over to her lawyers and then they asked for a few minutes to review the list.

Suddenly Scorpius lunged at Jamie and was screaming, "You fucking bastard, I'll kill you!"

He was dragged off of Jamie who was laughing maniacally

Lily was then brought into another room with her family, the prosecutors and Scorpius. She had no idea what was going on, she felt like she was watching everything from outside her body…

"Scorpius, What's going on? Why did you just do that?" demanded Harry

Scorpius ran his hands through his hair and looked to Lily, she was just sitting stoically in a chair. He moved over to her and knelt down in front of her so that he could meet her eyes and said, "Love, talk to me. What's going on in that head of yours?"

Lily looked up at him blankly and said, "Scor?"

He smiled and kissed her gently then got up and said, "She can't handle what he's trying to do. Give me that list again."

He took the list and grabbed a pen, then started crossing off names. He then wrote two names on the parchment and said, "Tell them that if they call all these people, then we'll call these two witches for their testimony. If they eliminate all the people I've crossed off then we won't call the witches." He then handed the parchment to the lawyers and crossed his arms.

The lawyers started to question him but he just held up his hand and said, "Show that to McClaggen. He'll change his mind pretty quickly."

They looked to Harry who just nodded his consent and they left to go talk to the defense lawyers.

"Care to explain what that was about?" asked Harry

"He's trying to make Lily look bad and I'm not going to let him, it's that simple." Replied Scorpius evasively

"And the two witches?" asked Harry warily

"Let's just say they understand what Lily's going through." Said Scorpius gravely

After a few minutes, the door burst open and Jamie came storming in yelling, "What the fuck is this Malfoy! Are you threatening me?"

Lily had jumped up and moved behind everyone with her back against the far wall when she heard Jamie yelling. Al and James moved over to stand with her while Harry stood in front of her and Scorpius stormed to meet Jamie in the middle of the room.

"I'm not threatening you McClaggen. I'm promising you that if you call those wizards, then we're calling those witches." Said Scorpius furiously

"What's the matter Malfoy, afraid to let everyone know what your precious Lily has been up to these last 6 months? What would the Prophet say about all of it, she is the Chosen One's daughter after all?" sneered Jamie inches from Scorpius' face

"It's nothing compared to what you've done, you sick fuck. What do you think is going to happen to you when the court hears what the other witches have to say? You'll be lucky if you ever see the outside of Azkaban again."

Jamie laughed and said, "Trust me, I'll never see Azkaban, isn't that right Princess?"

Scorpius growled and pushed Jamie against the wall, holding him by the throat but Jamie continued to laugh saying, "That little whore really has you wrapped around her finger doesn't she?"

Lily decided she had had enough, so she walked forward until she was inches from Jamie and said fiercely, "Go ahead, Jamie, call them all. Let them tell everyone all the things I've done. I. Don't. Care." Lily paused and then said in a low husky tone, "After all, you've made me what I am today. So go for it, Jamie," then she leaned close to his ear and whispered "Give us a kiss."

Everyone in the room looked at Lily in shock. Jamie flushed and cleared his throat before saying proudly, "My Princess is all grown up." He was moving closer to Lily, and before anyone could get in between them he had grabbed her by the throat and slammed her against the wall and said in a threatening tone, "I meant what I said, I'm not going to Azkaban. I made a promise to you and I intend to keep it."

Jamie had put up some sort of wandless shield so that no one could get to him and Lily. Everyone was frantically trying to get through the shield but nothing was working.

Lily decided to fight back though and she kneed Jamie in the groin, which made him quite angry. He grabbed her before she could get away and pushed her face into the wall and held her hands behind her back.

He then ordered, "Enough foreplay, Princess, say goodbye to your family, it's the last time you're going to see them." He pulled Lily away from the wall and held a small knife to her throat, not caring that he was actually slicing her. He kissed the side of her face and then winked at everyone before activating his portkey and disappearing with Lily completely.
