Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry: 2017 Event: 365 Drabbles - Prompt - Storm

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry: January Event - Winnie the Pooh Day (24 hour challenge) - Prompt: 12. "How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."


A storm was coming. He could see it in his girlfriend's eyes. He decided to try for some levity. "How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."

Lily crossed her arms. "Is that supposed to be funny?"

"Don't do this to me," he begged.

"What am I doing to you? You're the one who's leaving me."

Scorpius prayed to a higher deity for some patience. He knew she was simply upset and lashing out at him. "I'm going on a business trip. It's not like I'm going to be gone forever. It's only two weeks."

Lily looked away. "Two weeks is too long."

Scorpius took her hand and pulled her resisting body into his arms. "Lily, I love you, and when I come home in two weeks, we probably won't leave our bed for a week. I'm going to be thinking about you, and missing you, every night. Please, don't make me feel guilty for doing my job."

Lily's body relaxed. "I know you have to go, but I hate being away from you."

Scorpius continued hugging her. "I hate it too, but it can't be helped."

Lily finally looked at him. "You promise you'll think about me every night."

Scorpius smiled and cupped her cheek. "You'll be the first thing I think about when I wake up, and the last thing I think about before I go to sleep."

Lily threw her arms around his neck. "You say the greatest things."

Scorpius returned the hug. Hopefully, when he got home and gave her that engagement ring that he was planning to pick up from where he had it customized, she'd forgive him for his absence.
