"And then she turned, turned, turned," Lily Luna Potter sang as she danced around her parents' living room. She was playing a very loud game of the floor is lava, along with singing horribly off key. The cord from her headphones leading to the MP3 player in her pocket. She loved the small Muggle device and was thrilled when her Aunt Hermione had given it to her for her twelveth birthday. She only wished it would work at Hogwarts.
"Lily!" Ginny called from the kitchen. Lily sighed, sliding the headphones off her head. She forgot to pause her music, so it continued playing.
"What? I didn't do it!" she hollered back, rolling her hazel eyes.
"I'm not asking what you didn't do this time, but stop jumping on the furniture," Ginny called. "And if you're not doing anything important, set the table. We need an extra plate tonight, by the way."
Lily blinked, sliding her headphones around her neck. An extra plate meant a guest. One plate meant it wasn't a couple, which eliminated several of her extended family members. She jumped off the chair she had been standing on and headed to the kitchen.
"Who's coming?" she asked, grabbing a stack of plates from the cabinet.
"Albus said he was bringing a friend over," Ginny answered.
"Albus has friends?" she asked, laughing a little. Ginny glared at her.
"Lily."
"Fine, fine. Albus has friends other than Rose... did he say who?" she asked. The idea that her brother was bringing someone to dinner was interesting. Albus was three years older than Lily and she'd always sort of looked up to him. Even more so when she was sorted into Slytherin, the same house as him.
"He did not, only that it was someone from school. Now, go clean off and set the table, and remember - "
"No magic outside of school. Yes, Mum," Lily stated, walking off carrying the stack of plates. She pushed her headphones back onto her head.
"I love this song," she exclaimed, starting to dance towards the dining room. She had nearly made it there room when the front door swung open. Lily spun around trying to get a glimpse of who was home. Her foot slipped on the hard wood floor and she pitched forward.
"I've got you," someone said. Lily felt a pair of arms grab her waist as the plates fell to the floor with a loud clatter. Lily looked up at her saver.
"Hi, um, you can let me go now."
"Right," Scorpius replied, lowering Lily to the floor. She gave him a quick smile before darting off upstairs.
"Was it something I did?" Scorpius asked, looking over at Albus.
"I think, she might have a bit of a crush on you," Albus answered.
"Oh, well, um... Think your mum will be mad about the broken plates?"
"Nah, she'll fix them with a wave of her wand. Mum, Scorpius and I are going to go upstairs. Lily broke the dishes again," Albus called, grabbing Scorpius' hand and leading him upstairs.
Lily had only gone as far as the top of the stairs, but quickly scampered out of sight when Albus and Scorpius came her direction. She watched them from her room.
"I wish Mum had told me it was going to be Scorpius," she muttered, her face still flushed from falling in front of him. She couldn't believe she'd done something so klutzy. He must think she was a complete loser.
"Lily! Get down here and clean up this mess," Ginny yelled. Lily sighed, slipping out of her room.
"Coming," she called down, giving the door to Albus' room a quick glance. It was closed. She wondered what he and Scorpius were doing in there, and why they needed to have the door closed.
"Lily! These dishes aren't going to clean themselves up," Ginny called up. Lily rolled her eyes.
"I said I was coming," she snapped, nearly stomping down the stairs wondering how she was supposed to sit with Scorpius at the table knowing he had seen her fall.
Lily watched Albus pass Scorpius the potatoes. She watched the way their fingers brushed against each other.
"So what did you do today, Lily?" Scorpius asked, looking at her. She blushed brightly and hid behind her hair.
"Nothing," she squeaked.
"Albus says you love the Hex Chicks. I have their latest album, have you heard it yet?"
Lily blinked. Scorpius liked the Hex Chicks? That was interesting at least.
"Yeah, they're my favorite group," she admitted, hoping she didn't sound like an idiot. "I haven't had a chance to listen to their new album yet, I just bought it this morning," she admitted.
"The song "My Potioned Heart", is amazing! Have you heard it yet?"
"Not yet," Lily answered.
Around them, people were finishing dinner. Lily looked at her mostly finished plate. She shoved the last few bites into her mouth, chewed, and swallowed. She knew talking with her mouth full was disgusting.
"I got the album this morning, want to come up to my room and listen to it with me?" she asked. Scorpius glanced over at Albus. He nodded, giving Scorpius a smile.
"Sure, I'd love to."
"May I be excused, Mum?"
"Go ahead," Ginny answered, watching as Scorpius and Lily headed upstairs. "And keep your door open!" she called after them.
A few minutes later, Lily squealing loudly filled the house. Ginny looked over at Albus, who was helping clear off the table.
"Scorpius has tickets to the Hex Chicks' show, and I think he just asked Lily to go with him," Albus stated, giving his mum a smile.
"So you set them up?" Ginny asked, looking at her son.
"They weren't getting together on their own," he answered with a shrug. "Besides, Scorpius is floor is lava champion at school, wait until him and Lily compete in the common room!"
