"And then, Professor Snape said, 'See, Mr. Malfoy…Potter is only a scar and a myth'!" Draco laughed as he bit into an apple. He was sitting on a blanket in front of the school's lake. Lily was sitting next to him. She was not listening. Her eyes were fixed on the swirls of green and blue water in front of her.
"Lily?"
"Y-Yeah?" Lily shook her head, "Sorry…ha…that's funny." She smiled awkwardly and then turned to stare at the water again.
"Uh…right. So, Lily…you still didn't tell me what happened"
"What do you mean?"
"Your cut…"
Lily turned to face him. "Oh" She said, "Well, it's nothing. I was just in a hurry and I…uh…fell. I cut myself on my…night stand."
Draco stared at her. "Did it hurt?"
Yes. Lily thought. "No" She said, "It wasn't that bad"
"It looks bad" Draco said.
Lily shrugged and shifted a bit. She was just about to loose herself in space again when she felt something touch her hand. She turned and saw Draco moving closer, his hand holding hers. She smiled, he smiled back. Slowly, he leaned in to give Lily what felt like a second first kiss. She smiled at him slightly as they pulled away.
"Lily?" Draco said quietly.
"Yes?" She responded.
"I…uh…I-"
Lily held her breath. She knew, of course, what is about to happen but she was scared that it wouldn't work. "Y-Yes, Draco…?"
"Uh…I-…um…I think we should take our relationship to the next level…"
Lily relaxed. Now this is the Draco I know…,she thought.
"Would you come with me to meet my parents?" Never mind…
Lily smiled. "Sure" She said.
Draco held her hand tighter. "Lily…"
"Mmmhmm?"
"I love you"
It happened quickly. Draco's grip on Lily's hand was loosened as his body started disappearing and then, finally, it vanished completely. Lily stared at the spot Draco was just a second ago, terrified. Then, she let out a deep breath and looked around to make sure no one noticed Draco's body disappearing in a second. After she scanned the entire school grounds, Lily got up and walked back to the castle, her hair moving in the slightly chilly wind.
