A/N: As promised, definitely more to come. I am so excited but nervous about the next few chapters. I can't wait to see what you all think of them! Eeek!
I'm also considering naming my chapters, what do you guys think? If I did, this one would be called: A Dream, a Debt and a Decision.
Drop me a review, let me know what you think.

The fog swirled around Lily as she tried to work out where she was. "Hello?" She called out, her voice shaky.
A branch snapped behind her and she spun; her heart pounding. The large wolf in front of her snarled loudly, its mouth foaming.
The full moon shone above her, making Lily cringe in terror.
"You can stop this Lily." A voice murmured from behind her.
The man standing there seemed familiar, his presence calming her in a way reasons couldn't explain. Even the wolf calmed slightly, whining quietly as it watched him.
"Sorry if he scared you earlier, we werewolves don't seem to have much tact once the moon comes out." The realisation of who he was hit Lily hard.
"Y-you're Remus Lupin." She gasped, shaking her head in confusion. "But you're, I mean you."
"I'm dead, yes." Remus chuckled softly. "I came to tell you that you can fix it, give others like me their lives back. You have everything you need, in my blood."
"What do you mean, blood?" Lily asked, more confused than ever. The woods around her were fading fast and she tried desperately to cling on.
"Please Professor, I want to help you!" She shouted as everything turned back to fog.
Opening her eyes with a gasp, Lily jumped out of bed.
Grabbing a piece of parchment, she wrote quickly even as her hands continued to shake.
Albus,
It happened again. Another one. Not Uncle Sirius this time, Uncle Remus.
I'm scared Al, I thought I was done with this.
Please write back to me as soon as you can.
x Lily.
"Hey there Leo." She murmured, stroking his feathers as she attached the letter. "Take this to Albus for me? There's some owl treats in it for you when you return."
Sitting down on her bed, Lily shook with fear as she watched Leonis fly out her window.
Her door opened with a creak and a familiar blonde head peeped inside.
"You ok?" Scorpius asked, his concern obvious on his face. "I thought I heard yelling."
Lily sighed and patted the bed beside her. "I'm fine I guess." She murmured, waiting for him to sit down. "Please don't leave me though. I don't want to be alone."
Scorpius nodded and wrapped his arms around her. Whatever it was bothering her, he'd deal with it tomorrow, for now he just wanted to be there for her.
Meanwhile, at the Ministry:
Draco sighed quietly to himself, rushing through the last of his paperwork before his meeting.
"Come in." He called out firmly as a knock struck the door.
"Mr Malfoy." His guest said, tipping his hat. "Glad to see you're doing well here."
Draco shrugged with a roll of his eyes. "I think we can dispense of the formalities MR POTTER." He muttered, pointing to an empty seat. "Why don't you tell me what's bothering you, Harry."
Harry ran his fingers through his hair, unsure of how to say it. "Well, Draco. Ummm." He started, fidgeting in his seat. "You see, I have a slight problem."
"Go on."
"Well, as you would know, our children are currently working together." Harry mumbled, wishing he could just say what he had come to say. "And from what I have heard from my sources, that's not the only thing the two of them have been doing together."
Draco paled, his eyes narrowing. "Are you trying to tell me this is a problem Potter? What, my son not good enough for Precious Potter's daughter?"
Harry almost choked in shock. "Oh no, not at all." He rushed out, his green eyes wide. "The problem, Draco, is that your son seems to be quite the distraction to my daughter's work. She's been constantly late, flustered, and sometimes not even bothering to show up at all."
"I still don't see how this has anything to do with me, or you for that matter." Draco sneered, tapping his quill on the desk.
Harry sighed, the moment he had been dreading had arrived. "Well Draco, if you so kindly think back to the Battle, you'll remember a certain debt." He murmured, his voice shaking with nerves. "I'm here to collect that. If Lily is to be all she can be, Scorpius needs to leave her to grow on her own." He paused, his face full of regret. "If you can make him leave her alone, your life debt is paid in full. You will no longer owe me a thing."
Draco gasped, the quill in his fingers snapping under the pressure of his fingers. "You're asking me to give up my own son's happiness, just to help you?" He growled out, his stare icier than usual.
Harry shook his head slowly. "Not give up, Draco, just postpone." He replied, his voice calm and steady. "If the two of them are meant to be, they'll come back."
Teeth grinding, Draco nodded slowly. "Ok. But you have to promise to do all you can to help get them back. He truly loves her, Harry."
"If you love something, set it free." Harry sighed. "If it doesn't come back, it was never truly yours to begin with. But yes, I agree to your terms."
A/N: So just for the record, I know Harry is being an ass, but he's doing it out of love.
If there are any of you wondering about the debt they are talking about, that would be from Harry saving Draco's life in the Room of Requirement during the battle of Hogwarts.
Reviews are good, any questions are welcome 3 As usual, thanks for reading.
