A/N: This was an idea from BDSanta2001. I laughed when I read this in the reviews and asked if I could use it in some way. Hope you all like it.

Scorpius and Harry found themselves on either side of Lily. Albus and Blain hurried to joiin them. Lily gave a little moan and opened her eyes. She looked disoriented and finally her eyes landed on her father. Questions filled her eyes.

"Dad? What are you doing here? It's not a week for you to give a guest talk."

Harry took his daughters hand and smiled. "Hey baby girl. Your mum and I came when we heard about your little fall."

Her eyes widened and she quickly scanned the rooms. "Mums here too?"

"No. She had to go let Grandma Weasley that you are alright. She was here for a little bit, but when we found out you were going to be OK, she decided you might be a little embarrassed by the attention."

It was then she seemed to realize that she was not alone with her dad. She mumbled quietly, "Thanks dad." Lily sat up, looking very embarrassed. "So...ummm… how long have I been out?"

Albus smiled and gave her a tight hug. "Only a few hours. We saw your broom drop and we have been keeping watch ever since." Scorpius heard him whisper in her ear. "You have us quite a scare. Don't so it again."

Lily whispered back, "It wasn't exactly planned. But I promise."

"Hey, don't hog the hugs." Blain broke into the conversation. He reached down for his own hug. "Good to see you up and looking so good little girl."

Lily pushed him away with an annoyed look. "Don't call me little." Blain laughed. Lily looked over at Scorpius and looked down at her hands. He realized that he still had to apologize and he looked at his hands as well.

Harry coughed loudly. "Well, since you seem to feel better, I think we will go get you something to eat. You must be hungry. Come on Al."

"But Dad, she just woke up. I want to know if she saw anything."

"It will only take a few minutes. Let's go Al. You too Blain."

"But what about Scorpius?"

Scorpius looked up to see Harry dragging Al out of the room. Blain was holding the door. "Scorpius wants to talk to your sister quickly. He has something to tell her, now come on."

A light seemed to go on for Albus and he hurried out the door. Harry turned to Scorpius. "You have five minutes." And he was gone.

With the other three gone, it was quiet. Too quiet. The seconds ticked by and still no one spoke. It had been difficult to admit fault to Lily while she slept, but now it seemed almost impossible. Lily was the first to speak.

"So what did you want to tell me?"

He looked up to meet her eyes. For the first time in a week, the copper orbs were back to the warm ones he remembered from the train. He had been prepared for the cold, dead eyes she had given him all week. He sighed and smiled at her.

"So are you still mad at me?"

She crossed her arms and looked at him, "That depends on you."

He sighed. I knew you would make me do this." At her death look, Scorpius quickly raised his hands, "not that you don't deserve it of course."

She was back to smiling again. "That's more like it. You may continue."

He felt a weight lift. They were joking with each other. He gave her a quick bow. "A thousand thank yous of mighty one."

Scorpius smiled, but adopted a more serious tone. "I am so sorry Lily. I was upset because I felt... well I felt jealous. I shouldn't have taken it out on you, but I did. I am not good at this, but I want you to know I truly am sorry. Do you forgive me?"

"Hmmm, I don't know. I think I liked your other apology better." He looked at her in surprise. Her eyes were twinkling.

"What other time?"

"The one when you though I couldn't hear you."

Scorpius grew incredulous. "You heard that and you gave no sign of being awake? That is so deceitful Lily Potter. I..I..I don't know what to say. It's absolutely Slytherin of you."

Lily laughed. "No need to throw out insults" she said with a wicked smile. "And for the record, I forgave you when you apologized the first time. Thank you. It means a lot." She grew more serious, "I do want you to know I could hear you, but I just couldn't get my body to wake up for me. I would have if I could have."

Scorpius was quickly reviewing everything that was said while Lily had been sleeping. "So, if you heard what I said…" he swallowed, thinking of his conversation with her dad. "What else did you hear?"

She frowned as she thought back. "Well, I heard you, and then I heard my dad for a dew minutes, and then all I can remember is a buzzing in my ears. I couldn't make out what was being said in the room and then I heard Albus and Blain come in."

"Oh, well that's good I guess." He quickly threw up a mask to cover his relief. So Harry Potter's spell had worked. He realized what he had said and quickly added to it. "Your dad didn't want any voices to disturb you, so he made sure your conversation didn't disturb you."

"So you were talking with my dad? What about?" She smiled at him with a bit of uncertainty.

Before Scorpius could think of something to say, Harry's voice came from behind him. "Nothing you should be concerned about Lily. Here, we found all sorts of good food for you. Eat up."

Blain was smiling, "Would you believe that he still remembered how to get to the kitchens? I mean it has been years since you were at school Mr. Potter sir."

Harry gave a frown to Blain, "Not that long ago. I'm not that old." Harry huffed as he dipped into his pudding. Blain smiled and dug into his own pudding. Harry gave a quick wink to the boy and smiled at him. He turned to Lily.

"So, you're sure you feel fine."

"Yes Dad." She slowly ate a huge sandwich that had been placed in front of her. She swallowed a large bite. Albus chimed in.

"So did you see who did it to you?"

She was quiet for a minute. "I was looking for the snitch. I remember seeing a glint towards the ground and I was diving for it. Just then, my broom felt hard and rough, not the way it should. Before I could think, I dropped. I realized that my broom was no longer wood, but stone. I tried to jump off at the last minute, but I think I hit my head pretty hard. I don't remember any more."

"So you didn't see anyone?" Albus leaned forward.

"No. Sorry Al."

"It's OK Pumpkin. We'll get to the bottom of it. Think of it as a way to get a new broom. Your mum and I decided that now only the best will work. I don't want to see this happen again." Harry turned to Al, "In fact, I think we are going to take your broom in for a check up. I want to make sure the protective spells are still strong."

Al nodded and smiled at his dad. "Thanks Dad. It should take a few days, but as long as we have it back for the quidditch match, it shouldn't cause too many problems for the team." Harry smiled fondly at his kids.

Scorpius felt a pang. Sometimes he wished that his father was a little more openly affectionate. He watched the looks, and the touches and you could just see the love between the siblings and the father. His family was much more reserved. A pat on the shoulder was like a hug to the Potters. Looking at them, he couldn't help but feel happy and he tried to shake off the sudden melancholy.

He realized that his mind had wandered, and he had lost the conversation. Lily was laughing at something her Dad had said. She turned to Scorpius with a wicked grin, "So back to my earlier question, what did you and Dad talk about?"

Scorpius looked to Harry with a pleading look. Just then Harry got a cheerful gleam in his eyes. Scorpius watched his face become a mask and he smiled serenely. Uh Oh. What is he going to do? Harry looked at Lily with a straight face.

"Well, I happened to overhear young Mr. Malfoy talking to you. I know how you like to make new friends, so I thought it only natural to talk to young Scorpius about his intentions with my only daughter."

Lily was going red. "Dad, you didn't." By now Albus had caught on and was giving the same straight face. Harry continued.

"Well, once he told me he was only looking to be your friend, I decided that it was OK to be the proud papa. I know that you are not one to talk about yourself Lily, so I thought it only fair to Scorpius to tell him some stories. You have such a knack for getting stories out of others, I thought I should even the playing field."

By now, Lily was covering her face in embarrassment. Scorpius could hear her moaning, "No no no no nonononono." Scorpius smiled at Harry. He was starting to enjoy this. He decided to follow along.

"Well, you know I'm no good at telling stories, so I had to bring out some pictures." Lily squeaked and uncovered her eyes. She looked disbelieving at her family and friends. Scorpius decided now was the perfect time to join in.

"You really were cute growing up." Lily looked at him in horror. "I mean I loved your…" He looked up and say Harry mouthing 'pigtails' at him and Scorpius' grin widened… "pigtails. They were so cute."

Albus now chimed in. "Oh, but my favorite ones are definitely the naked baby shots, you in the tub with your cute little cheeks." Blain joined in,

"And we don't mean the ones on your face."

Harry took over again. "Well, you did interrupt us. We were just getting to your great streaking adventure when you work up."

Lily was absolutely mortified and the whole group broke into loud laughs. They couldn't hold their faces any more. Lily looked around and turned to Albus, hitting him hard on the shoulder, "You are so mean! I can't believe you let me think you would do this."

"Ow, Lils. I didn't start this. Hit Dad." but Scorpius saved Al. "Wait a minute, I need to hear this story."

"No you don't!" Lily glared around at everyone.

Harry cast an evil glance to his daughter. "Well it all started when we went to Grandma Weasley's one summer day. It was the first time the whole Weasley clan had been together in one place for quite some time, and Grandma Weasley thought it was the perfect time to have a picture taken."

Lily stared at her dad in disbelief. "So Grandma Weasley made sure everyone had new, somewhat matching clothes. We were the first to arrive, and Lily had just turned three. She was getting ready to go play in the garden, but Grandma Weasley stopped her. 'Now Lily, don't get your new clothes dirty. We have pictures soon.' Well, Molly thought that Lily would go play in the kitchen or in the house with everyone else."

By now Lily had her head in her hands. Scorpius laughed to see her ears were the same shade of red as her hair. "So when everyone finally arrives, we can't find Lily. We were starting to get frantic when James comes running inside. 'I found her!' We all come running outside, and there is Lily, absolutely covered in dirt."

Harry paused. Scorpius looked at him, "Somehow I expected a different ending." Albus broke in; his face was red from suppressed laughter.

"Well, she had been told not to get her clothes dirty. So Lily had taken them all off. They were all piled in a chair in the kitchen. Lily was knee deep in mud with not a stitch on!"

The group burst out laughing. Scorpius couldn't remember laughing that hard ever. Every time he thought he had it under control, he would picture her again. Soon, he was having a hard time breathing. He looked at Lily, and she was giving him a cold look. When he looked into her eyes though, he noticed them dancing with laughter.

They were almost calmed down when a new voice joined theirs. "What is going on here? Don't you know this young girl needs her rest?" Madame Pomfrey came storming out of her office. She had a nightgown on and a fierce look on her face.

They all stood quickly. Each made sure they had a contrite look plastered on before they looked up at the medi-witch. Harry stepped forward. "Sorry Poppy. We were trying to make Lils laugh a little. It won't happen again."

"I would think you would know better by now Mr. Potter. You were here enough growing up, I would think you would know the rules by now." Harry looked apologetic, but when Scorpius caught his eye, he winked.

"I know Poppy." She huffed and went to Lily.

"You need rest my dear."

"But Madam Pomfrey, I feel fine. Can't I go back to my rooms. Really, I'm fine."

"I don't think so. You will be here at least tonight. You had a nasty fall and you will only leave when I feel you are well." She started to fuss over Lily. Scorpius and the others looked at her. She mouthed 'Help me' to them, but they all just smiled. They knew better than to get in the way of the medi-witch.

"Lily, you do as you are told. I love you. I need to go tell you mum you're fine. Write to us when you feel better." He quickly kissed her good night. Everyone else followed his lead. They called to her and slowly back away.

Lily mouthed at them. 'Cowards!'

"See you around Potter" Scorpius called. The group smiled and laughed as they left a rather irritated Lily Potter to deal with Poppy. Scorpius was feeling pretty good. That night was the best he had slept in months.

A/N: I am not 100 sure about where I want to take this. I am open to suggestions. I know how I want to end this, but I need some fillers for in between. Thanks for all the reviews and the idea.
