Don't Let Me Down
Disclaimeir: This is a Harry Potter-based fanfiction and JK Rowling owns it all.
Chapter 3
A noise stopped us. It was time to go to bed and we got caught by monitors patrolling. They were close enough and we couldn't even try to escape.
When they got closer, I saw their faces: Rose Weasley and the Malfoy guy. They have been dating for a while now, and were always scaled up to patrol the halls together.
What a couple! The scariest couple in Hogwarts.
At least it was Lily's cousin and her boyfriend. But their faces didn't show that much comprehension.
"I am not even asking what's happening here." Rose said. Well, it really was no surprise. There were always couples making out in the halls late at night.
"Rose, just let us talk. We need to." Lily was nervous, and seemed like about to cry of disappointment.
The Malfoy guy gave me a strange look. "Is he bothering you, Lily? I can take care of this."
"Scorpius, I've already told you that I have too much older relatives to take care of my life. Much more than I need. So, please, stop acting like one of them. Just... stop. It is under control, okay?" Then, she turned to Rose.
"Lysander and I have some issues to solve. Can you both look away and pretend you didn't see us?"
Rose was a tough one. Just like her mother. She wasn´t used to make things easy to her cousins, it was all about the law and blah, blah, blah. Surprisingly, she just gave me the standard Rose's hard look.
It was Malfoy who took care of the situation.
"You guys could at least get some privacy. That classroom over there" - he pointed to a door in the direction they came from - "is free. We have just check it. I assume you guys can lock a door and finish whatever you are doing. Alone, please."
Rose was... laughing?
I really didn't expect that. "What the hell..." I whispered to Lily while they kept walking like we weren't even there.
Then, Malfoy turned back to me and said, louder than he was supposed to:
"You! If you hurt her... I can make sure you end up in the hospital wing for weeks."
Lily was pretty angry when she replied. "I can take care of myself and you know that, Scorpius. Don't pretend you are my brother or something again."
"Let's go, Scorpius. She is right." Reasonable Rose. I knew that Rose.
They got back to their way.
Lily caught my arm and walked us to the classroom Malfoy told us to.
I opened the door and did a double check.
Oh, I sound so stupid right now. What was I thinking? Malfoy was totally right. The least I could do was assuring some privacy for us.
"Sit down, Lils. I can get the spells at the door." I was really nervous and wanted to be busy and silent for a little while.
When I was done, I turned back and she was crying. A lot.
The Lily I've known wasn't used to cry so easy. But the Lily I've known seemed to have disappeared for the last months.
"I guess we should get a conversation. A huge one." I said, sitting next to her at the corner.
She just nodded.

N/A: Thanks for reading.
I know the chapters are too short. Like I said before, it was supposed to be a one-shot at first. Now I'm getting some trouble to turn it apart into chapters.
I would love reviews. I would love suggestions.
Kisses.
