The night air was refreshing, though not cold or crisp. The full moon looked so close, so large that Lily felt the childish sensation that she would be able to touch it if she got on a broom, or even stood on the Astronomy Tower.

A soft breeze blew over the grounds, rustling the edge of Lily's skirt and lightly moving her hair. It seemed perfect. The stars even seemed brighter.

"Hey, come on. You have to see the view by the lake," Scorpius said breaking the silence, taking Lily by the hand and rushing off with her towards the Black Lake.

Finally, they stopped, and sat on a bench that was just a little bit off away from the banks of it.

Man, Scor was right. I really did have to see this view! Lily thought to herself.

"So, do you like it?" Scorpius asked her, rousing Lily from her thoughts.

"It's beautiful."

"Yeah, you are."

Lily looked up in shock at her companion. She blinked several times, very fast as well. "What did you just say?" she questioned, quite sure that she had not heard right.

"Oh, I…uh…Look, I know that as your brother's friend I'm supposed to see you a my sister and look out for you as if I were your older brother, but I can not truly say that I only have 'brotherly' feelings for you. It's just- augh!" he said in exasperation at not being able to get his words out right, and clearly having imagined this moment going differently.

"Scor, I like you too," Lily said, saving him the trouble of embarrassing himself anymore.

Scorpius looked at her wide eyed until he finally gave into a grin then kissed her.

Lily drew back out of the kiss just as the clock reminded them that it was only fifteen 'til midnight.

"Unfortunately, I think that if I don't get back soon, my dear cousin Rose will send out a warning to Al and soon enough they will have a search part out looking for me," she said with a sigh.

"Well, I guess that this is good night," Lily said with a sigh.

"Make it sound like you're saying good bye forever or something," Scorpius said with a chuckle.

"Well, I'm not exactly anxious to face all of my cousin's probing."

"Well, what ever it is I have one question for you."

"And that would be?"

"After all of this…Are you not glad that you got your 'Valentines Day Blues'?" Scorpius asked, an amused look on his face.

"Well, let us see…I kicked a flagstone. I got quite sad when I thought that you first thought of me only as a sister. I got stared at by almost everyone in the Gryffindor common room. I went to the Valentines Day Dance. I got to see a gorgeous view. And to top it off, I got you. So…I am officially glad that I had -got- the Valentines Day Blues," Lily said grinning.

Scorpius smiled as well, leaning down to kiss her warmly.

Wow, who knew that being sour about a holiday could make one so happy, Lily observed in her head later that night.

"Thank you Valentines Day Blues!"
