Anyways, thanks to: Martain Goddess, Lucy Brooks, && BananaLollypop.

Rayelle and Scorpious fought their way through the many bodies on the train; trying to make it to the back of the train. When they finally reached their destination, Rayelle threw open the door and collapsed next to Lily, pulling Scorpious down with her.

Shaking her head, 'See this is why we always make sure to get on the train at least five minutes before the whistle.' Lily pointed out, laughing.

Rayelle sent a mock glare her way, and groaned, 'That was so scary! Worse than Fred's singing!'

'Oi! I sing like an angel. Mum told me!' Fred said, looking offended.

'Oh yeah?' Lily sat up, and grinned at her cousin, 'Then I say you should try out for the Hogwarts choir! See what Professor Flitwick has to say.'

Fred narrowed his eyes at her, 'I will.' He sat back, and laced his fingers behind his head, 'Uh.. when do they have those tryouts?'

The group shrugged, and laughed, 'Are you seriously going to try out?'

Nodding his head, 'Yeah, you've helped me realize that, my voice is so amazing it needs to be heard by the entire school!' Fred grinned.

'Oh Merlin. Help us all!' Lily laughed, and pulled her feet up, so she was sitting crossed legged on her seat. She turned to Rayelle, and saw her friend holding hands with Scorpious. 'WHAT? Rayelle Nicole Dursley. Why is it, I didn't not know.. this?' She exclaimed, waving her hands from her to Scorpious.

Rayelle blushed, and glanced at her hand, 'Er... I wanted my dad to know first?'

'Okay.. well when did you tell him?' Lily asked, her eyes wide.

Clearing her throat, Rayelle glanced at Scorpious, 'This morning.'

Scorpious just shrugged, 'Could imagine what he could have thought up if you had told him sooner?' Shuddering, he shook his head, 'No. I'm sure this morning was just fine; it didn't give him time to plan nothing else!'

The girls laughed, while Fred nodded, 'I get you man. Dudley can be pretty scary at times.'

Lily laughed, a twinkle in her eyes, 'Remember when we were younger, I think we were like.. seven or eight. And Uncle George left that fake dragons tail in papas chair. Then your dad sat on it!'

Rayelle laughed, 'Oh my goodness, yeah!' Giggling, 'Dad jumped so high.'

'Yeah. Funny.' Fred frowned, 'You're not the one who had to listen to my dad for two weeks.'

Rubbing her chin, 'Maybe we should learn muggle self-defense.' Lily smirked, 'Incase anything ever happens, and we have to defend ourselves against Big-D!'

Gulping loudly, Scorpious stood up, 'Uh.. I'm gonna go for a walk...' He started to leave, before turning back, and quickly giving Rayelle a kiss on the cheek and a small smile.

'What was that about?' Lily asked, confusion lacing her voice.

Grimacing, Rayelle shook her head, 'Right before we got on the train, dad told Scorp that there was a reason he was called Big-D in school.'

Lily and Fred glanced at each other before laughing. 'Oh that's great!'

Scorpious left the compartment he was sharing with Rayelle, and started back down the train. He wiped his forehead, and frowned. Looking into the compartments down the hall, he began looking for Albus or Caydan. He found them both in a compartment, four down from the one with his girlfriend.

He pulled the doors open and sat heavily next to Albus. 'Hey.'

'Sup!' Albus grinned at his friend, 'Why do you look... sick?'

Groaning, Scorpious laid his head in his hands, 'Dudley.'

'What?' Albus raised an eyebrow, 'Like.. my uncle Dudley.' Scorpious nodded, 'What happened?'

'Rayelle.. me.. Big-D.'

Albus sat back, and laughed, 'Oh yeah. I forgot you said you were going to ask her out at nanas. So I take it she said yeah?'

Scorpious gave a little nod, and took a deep breath. 'Apparently Dudley was called Big-D during school...'

Albus nodded, 'Yeah he was a boxer...' Narrowing his eyes, 'I think? It was something like that.. I don't know.'

'Yeah, well, I best make sure I don't hurt his little girl!' Scorpious groaned, and sat back.

Laughing, Albus looked at Caydan, and raised an eyebrow. 'Even if you did hurt 'Elle, I doubt she'd tell her dad.'

'That's the thing!' Scorpious muttered, 'I don't want to hurt her at all.'

Albus reached for a chocolate frog, and shrugged, 'Then.. don't?'

The first month of school flew by like only school can. Slowly, October was quickly approaching, and so was Rayelle's 'first date' with Scorpious. They had hung out at the Library, and on the grounds. But this would be their first actual date. And to put it mildly, Rayelle was freaking out.

She sat under a big maple tree the Thursday before her first Hogsmeade trip. 'Rayelle, listen. You've hung out with Scorp a million times! It's not gonna be any different!'

Biting her lip, Rayelle looked at her cousin, 'Yeah. But there were other people around!' Rayelle sighed, 'I mean. How am I even supposed to act on a date?'

Shrugging, 'I don't know. I figure you just act like you usually would.' Lily plucked a handful of grass, and frowned at it, 'You know who we should ask...' When Rayelle just shrugged, Lily grinned, and jumped up, 'Roxy.'

'Roxy?' Rayelle asked, doubt in her voice.

Lily jumped up, and grabbed her cousin's hand. 'Yeah she's been on like.. a million dates.' Lily quickened her pace, and nodded, 'Yeah. I heard mum and dad talking about it. Apparently its super confusing on the fact that Aunt Angelina never dated in school. And well.. Uncle George is Uncle George.'

'Huh. Yeah that is weird.' Rayelle had to jog to keep up with her eager cousin, 'Do you even know where she is?'

Nodding, 'Yeah, she said that she was just going to hang out in the common room tonight.'

'Oh.'

x-X-x

'Password?' They two stood in front of a portrait of an extremely large woman.

'Oh. Crap. I think.. its.. Devils Snare.'

'Correct.' The portrait swung forward, and Rayelle stepped into the Gryffindor common room for the first time.

'How did you know that?' Rayelle asked, looking over her shoulder, 'You're not in Gryffindor.'

'Huh?' Lily looked back, and grinned, 'Oh yeah. James has it in his head that I'm going to need him sometime. You know, sleeping down with the big, bad, Slytherin's. So he gives me the password.'

'Oh.' Rayelle looked around the room. The room was made of Scarlett and Gold everything. The chairs and sofas were red, and all the throw pillows were gold. The curtains were red. And the rug as well; there was a giant fire place on the right wall; and even though it was close to seventy degrees outside, the fire place was glowing with flames.

'It's so bright in here!' Lily grumbled under her breath. Squinting her eyes, she looked around until she located her cousin sitting at a back table with Courtney Chambers and her brother.

Crossing through the room quickly, Lily stopped by the table and cleared her throat. 'Roxy...' She paused until the girl glanced up, 'Can we borrow you for a quick word?'

'Lily? Rayelle?' James stood quickly, 'What's going on? What happened?'

'Jamie, sit down! Nothing happened.' Lily shook her head, and raised her eyebrows at Rayelle, 'We just need a girl moment with Roxy.'

'Oh. Well okay then.' James sat down, and scratched his head. Shrugging he looked at his girlfriend, Courtney who just giggled.

Lily latched on to Roxy's arm, and drug her through the Gryffindor common room. As soon as the three girls got outside, Lily turned to her older cousin, 'Listen Roxy. We need some pointers.'

Leaning against a wall, Roxy crossed her arms over her chest, 'with, what exactly?'

Lily licked her lower lip and glanced at Rayelle, 'Well.. so how do you act on a date, exactly?'

Raising her eyebrows, Roxy looked between the two girls, 'Which of you.. oh yeah! I remember James and Albus talking about you and Scorp.'

Rayelle blushed, and stuttered, 'Uh.. yeah.' Biting her lip, 'Should I like, act different or, er.. something?'

Running a hand through her hair, 'Let's see; I get you're not into dresses and whatnot.. but on a date, it's always a good thing to seem more.. girly.'

Wrinkling her nose, Rayelle looked at her, 'You mean like a skirt, and giggling.'

Roxy laughed, 'I wouldn't say 'giggle'. But, I would suggest being like.. I don't know how to describe it.'

Groaning, Rayelle slid down the wall. Wrapping her arms around her knees, she let out a small sigh, 'Oh Merlin. I don't know how to do this.'

''Elle. Breathe.' Lily sat next to her cousin, and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, 'You can do this!'

'Uh...'

Rayelle and Scorpious were supposed to meet at noon in front of the great hall. At quarter of, Rayelle stood at the top of the stairs, looking down. She took Roxy's advice, and was wearing a blue blouse and a denim skirt. She had black ballet flats on her feet and a dark blue headband in her hair. She saw Scorpious leaning against the far wall laughing at something Caydan was saying. He shook his head, and glanced towards the stairs.

Rayelle watched as a slow smile crossed his face, and he stepped forward. Slowly walking down the stairs, Rayelle bit her lip. When she reached the last step, she brushed at her skirt, and said, 'Hey.'

Grinning widely, Scorpious stepped near her, and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. 'Hey. You look.. great!'

Laughing nervously, Rayelle looked into his eyes. 'Thanks.'

Scorpious grabbed her hand, and walked with her towards the doors. 'So I get that you and Caydan aren't the best of friends, but do you mind if we ride down to Hogsmeade with him?'

'Uh.. no. It's all good.' Rayelle bit her lip, and smiled at him again. 'So.. wait. Ride down with him?'

'Yeah.' Smiling at her, 'Well.. you know how we ride the carriages up from the train?' When Rayelle nodded, 'That's how we get to Hogsmeade.' He shrugged, and smiled at her.

'Oh. Yeah, okay I get you.' They reached the doors, and Rayelle nodded at Caydan, 'Zabini.'

'Hey 'Elle! How's everything been for you?' He threw his arm around her shoulder, and grinned.

Shrugging his arm off, Rayelle stepped closer to Scorpious, 'So what's the plan for the day?'

'It's a surprise!' He grinned at her, his silver eyes sparkling. They walked down the path that leads to the carriages, and saw Lily and Aiden talking. Aiden looked from Rayelle to Scorpious, his eyes settled on their linked hands before walking away. Scorpious looked at his date, 'What's that about?'

'Uh..' Glancing at Lily, Rayelle shrugged.

'Aiden is mad crushing on Rayelle!' Lily laughed at the expression on his face. 'But don't worry my dear Scorpious. Rayelle only has eyes for you!'

Scorpious smiled down at Rayelle, and kissed her cheek, 'Good. Keep it that way?'

Rayelle blushed and giggled. Climbing in the carriage behind Lily, she smiled, and whispered, 'Can you hush it!'

Lily laughed and looked out the window. 'Why? He deserves to know who his competition is.'

The boys climbed in, and Scorpious sat next to her. Linking his fingers with hers, he said, 'Is there any more competition I should know about?'

With a quick shake of her head, Rayelle smiled at him, 'Er.. no?'

Laughing, Caydan leaned forward, 'That doesn't seem very convincing Scorp.' He stretched his arm out, and laid it on Lily's shoulder. 'You might have to change her mind!'

Scorpious kicked out; at the same time Lily twisted his finger. 'Um. Ew! Zabini, keep all your appendages to yourself! Kay? Thanks!'

Rayelle laughed at the look on his face, and turned towards Scorpious. Smiling, he leaned in and kissed her forehead, he whispered, 'I'm not scared of Aiden.'

'Good.' Cause you don't have to be.'

Scorpious grinned, and sat back, 'So Lily, you going to try out for the Slytherin team?'
