Scorpius Malfoy sat at one of the round wooden tables spread throughout the massive library of Hogwarts. He had intended to do the homework that had been issued earlier in the day, but he couldn't concentrate on the page before him. His gaze often flicked unchecked to the table across the row before he realized what he was doing, causing him to blush and force his eyes back to the sentence that he had been struggling to read for the last hour or so. He realized that it was hopeless trying to get anything done now, especially with her sitting within his eye sight. He shut the large Arithmancy tome and stretched out his arms, hearing cracks from multiple bones in his body. From the corner of his eye, he spotted movement and watched as she put her books in her bag, slinging it over her shoulder lightly and blowing on the still wet ink of her essay. As she was about to turn down the main row towards the exit, she looked and saw him sitting there alone. Hesitating at first, but then making up her mind, she walked up to his table. Scorpius cursed his heart as it started to beat erratically.

'Hey Scorpius.' She said in her usual tone of upbeat happiness. 'Are you done?' Lily gestured at his books and Scorpius realized that he should probably speak then. He cleared his throat softly.

'Yeah, I was just attempting to start on my Essay. It's not due for another week and a half.' He explained. Lily smiled at him.

'I was trying to get all of mine done too. I only have Potions and Charms left.' There was a brief but awkward silence as Lily stood there, pulling on a strand of short red hair and Scorpius looked at everything but her. Lily was the one to break the silence. 'I was just going to get some dinner now. Do want to join me down there?' She asked shyly. Scorpius nodded, not trusting his mouth and put his books away. They both walked in silence towards the great hall.

Scorpius glanced down at her, certain that she didn't notice, as her emerald eyes were focused on the floor ahead of her. Now that the weekend had started, she wasn't wearing the woolen skirt and prim white blouse that he always saw her in. Instead, she was wearing a knee length black skirt that fluffed out towards the bottom, swaying as she moved, it gave way to a pair of Silver and green striped stockings and flat black ballet shoes. It was as he was looking back up from her shoes that he glanced at the shirt that she was wearing underneath her black zip-up hoodie.

'You like "When Puffs Attack"?' He asked, motioning to the t-shirt. Lily turned and looked up, surprised at his question.

'Uh, yeah, they're pretty cool. But hardly anyone knows them. Al and I went to their concert during the summer at "Newt"'

'Wow. I really like them too. Especially Gerard Gillison's guitar solo in "Suffrage and Legion Attack"' he said to her animatedly, his previous nervousness forgotten.

'No. Freakin. Way. I love that solo! Al says that the bass in "Free-falling Ink" is way better, but Gerard just blows that away.' They grinned at each other, now knowing that they had something in common other than just Albus Potter; Scorpius' best mate and Lily's older brother.

'So, have you heard the new album?' Scorpius asked, relaxing finally around the red head. Lily grinned at him

'Yeah, they were playing it on the WWN the other night.' Scorpius was confused at this information.

'Which Station?'

'It's a new one. 27.103. I really want the album now. I heard that they added on some bonus track!' by this time the pair had reached the great hall. 'Well, u…' Lily was suddenly shy again. She ran her hand through her hair and bit her lip. Scorpius had to fight the urge to jump her right then and there. He smiled a shaky smile.

'I guess I'll see you around.' Lily smiled back and walked across to the Slytherin table. Scorpius sighed and sat down at his usual spot at the Ravenclaw table next to Albus who was stroking his chin thoughtfully. A group of girls sitting a few seats down the table giggled and winked at the two of them, trying to get a reaction. Or a date. Rose sat opposite Albus, reading some book. Scorpius gave Albus an amused look and started to eat. Albus turned to face him, an eyebrow quirked inquisitively.

'Sooo…' Scorpius looked up and snorted at Albus' glasses, which were fluro pink and had tiny yellow stars floating around the plastic. He pushed them up Albus' nose hard, causing his friend to pull away in pain.

'You are an idiot.' He said, Albus grinned happily.

'I know. Thank you.' Scorpius smirked at him.

'You also seem gay.' Albus glared hard at Scorpius.

'I. Am. Not.' Scorpius shrugged non-committedly and started to eat once more.

'But you seem it.' Albus punched him hard on the arm and then fiddled with his frames, causing them to turn a deep blue.

'As I was saying; sooo…' Scorpius caught on to his game and raised an eyebrow.

'So what?' Albus smirked; payback.

'So, you and my sister.' It was a statement, not a question, and it caused Scorpius to choke on his potatoes. Albus smacked him on the back and Scorpius spat the lump out onto his place. Albus grimaced in disgust and pulled a face at Scorpius. 'Yuck.'

Scorpius glanced to the Slytherin table to where Lily sat with her own friends before replying to Albus.

'There is nothing going on!' He insisted and Albus turned away with brows raised.

'Sure, sure… so you say now…' Scorpius glared, but Albus pretended not to notice. 'But we know you like her. Don't we Rose?' He asked his cousin. Rose looked up from the book.

'Who?' Scorpius smirked in response at Albus. 'Do you mean Lily?' Scorpius groaned and buried his head in his arms as his two friends high-fived across the table. Rose gave Scorpius a pitying look, 'Look, Scor, why don't you just ask her out?'

'Because she doesn't like me like that.' Two people snorted at the Ravenclaw table in response to his statement.
