So I gave up on the 5 reviews.
This is a short chapter but I wanted to update and I had to post this part and if I went any longer I would of ended up having this chapter be really long and I didn't have time to write all of that right now.
Enjoy :)
Chapter 5
Letters
The sunlight coming in through her window woke Lily up from her dreamless sleep. She looked around her room and everything that had happened the previous night came flooding back to her. Scoprius had kissed her. He had said that he loved her. She had spent half of the night in Scorpius' arms. And then, a night that seemed so perfect had crumbled and cracked. Albus had seen them together. He freaked out and almost hit Scorpius and then kicked him out of the house. Kicked his own friend out…
The memories were to much for Lily and it was all she could do to keep herself from bursting into tears. After all that had happened one thing stayed true. Lily Potter did not, under any circumstances, cry.
Once she had calmed down enough, she got out of bed and made her way downstairs to the kitchen. "Mornin mum," Lily called taking a seat at the kitchen table.
"Morning Lily. Waffles or pancakes?"
"Pancakes,"
The sound of someone else coming downstairs made Lily turn. Albus stopped in his tracks as his eyes met his sisters'. Lily just stared at him pleadingly. The last thing she needed was for Albus to tell everyone else what had happened and then have them all hunt down Scorpius together.
"Morning Al! Sleep well?" Ginny asked as she mixed the pancake batter.
"I've slept better," Al replied grumpily.
"Where's Scorpius? Didn't he spend the night?" Ginny asked.
"His Dad made him come home," Albus said. Well at least he didn't say what really happened, Lily thought.
"Oh were all out of syrup," Ginny said as she looked in the cupboard, "I think there is some more in the cellar. I will be right back."
Lily watched as Ginny's figure descended down the stairs until she turned to Albus. "Al, listen to me," Lily pleaded but Albus just turned away from her. "Nothing happened I swear. Nothing at all."
"Ya right," Al grumbled so quietly that Lily wasn't sure if the statement was meant for her to hear.
"Ok, be mad at me all you want. Ok, it was my fault. I asked Scorpius to stay. It's my fault. Just please, don't tell mom, James or dad. Especially dad. Please Albus," He said nothing, but sighed and Lily took that as a sign that he grudgingly promised her that he wouldn't tell.
Ginny returned and James and Harry both made their way down to the kitchen. They both asked Al where Scorpius was but he just gave them the same story he had given Ginny. Lily ate her pancakes in silent and when she was done she went back up to her room. She just wanted to be alone so she could think this all out and figure out what she was going to do next. She sat down on her coach and couldn't help but to remember that the last time she had sat there she had been with Scorpius.
A tapping at her window made her turn around. A small light brown owl with black specks was at her window holding a letter. She quickly opened the window and let the bird in, recognizing it as Scorpius' owl. A spark of joy went through Lily as she took the letter from the bird. She gave it a treat and then the bird flew away.
Lily tore open the letter and immediately recognized Scorpius' curvy and surprisingly neat handwriting.
Lily,
I just want to start by saying that I am so sorry for everything that happened last night. It was all my fault. I should of known better. But even if it wasn't exactly ideal I think that Albus finding out about us was a good thing. Well it's not a good thing that he presumed something that wasn't true but I think it is better if he knows. I think it is better if everyone knows. We should just tell your parents. I don't care if they hate me after that, or threaten to hurt me or even threaten to kill me. I love you. And I want to be with you. So please, just think about it.
Love,
Scorpius
Damn it Scorpius, Lily thought as she tried to dab away the tears that had sprung up in her eyes. This guy was going to ruin her reputation she just knew it. She went over to her desk and grabbed her quill and started to write her reply to the handsome Slytherin.
Dear Scorpius,
I am so sorry for everything that happened. Even though I know you are going to deny it, it was my fault. You were trying to leave and I talked you into staying. You had the better judgment. You always have the better judgment. As for our current situation, I believe we can continue just as we had planned it out last night. Albus has agreed (at least I am pretty sure he agreed) to keep our secret and we are still leaving for Hogwarts in a few days so nothing has really changed. I know you want to tell my family but I still think we should hold off. We still do not know what this could turn into (and yes I know you don't like me saying that either but you know it's true). The only different thing I think we should do is that I think we should talk to Al. On the train we will sit him down and try to clear everything up. He isn't going to like it but he will get over it. He wants us to be happy and we are happy together and he is just going to have to accept that. I can't wait to see you again.
Love,
Lily
Any reviews would be greatly appreciated. Reviews let me know that people are still reading this story and keep me posting.
Also if you haven't done so already make sure you check out my other Lily/Scorpius story Lily's Song and the new "story" I posted which is really just a collection of all of the Harry Potter head cannons I have written.
