Sorry this took so long, I have been really busy. This chapter is really just filler but it was needed filler.
Thank you to Jessvampswolvessoulfinders, AleydisEcho and Lily the Amazing Evans for reviewing the last chapter.

Chapter 7

Agree to Disagree

First term was almost over and things had been pretty uneventful. Scorpius and Lily's relationship was still a secret to everyone except Al. The relationship was still a secret but not exactly invisible. Lily's friends were always pestering her, trying to get her to tell them what was going on. No matter how many times Lily denied that anything special was actually going on between herself and the handsome Slytherin, they kept on insisting that there was and threatening to make Lily's life hell if she didn't tell them. But Lily stuck to her and Scorpius' agreement. No one was allowed to know.

It was tricky though, keeping such a big thing a secret. Trying to find times when they could sneak off with each other. They skipped almost all of the Hogsmede trips so that they could spend sometime together in the castle without as many watching eyes. They asked Albus to cover for them a few times so that they could spend some time together and at first he would grudgingly agree but after a while he started to say no. Albus didn't like the fact that they were hiding their relationship from everyone.

James started getting suspicious as well. He started to notice that Lily seemed to be always glancing over at the Slytherin table but when he asked her what she was looking at she always replied with one simple word, "Nothing." So Scorpius and Lily being together was a secret, but not a very well kept one.

. . .

Lily was sitting alone in her dorm room finishing up some last minuet reading when a banging at the window made her look up. There was an owl at the window carrying a letter. It was Scorpius' owl. Lily opened the window and the owl came in and dropped the letter on top of Lily's bed. Lily fed the owl one of the treats she fed Pablo and off it went.

Lily tore open the letter and pulled out a single sheet of parchment.

We need to talk. Meet me at the top of the astronomy tower tonight at midnight.

-Scorpius

Lily was anxious all through dinner. Scorpius had been acting funny for the past few days. Always saying that he couldn't hang out with her because he was to busy or just saying that he had a lot on his mind when she asked if there was something bothering him. She guessed she would find out what was bothering him tonight. But she wasn't sure if she really wanted to know.

"You okay Lils?" Alice asked taking a seat next to her.

"Fine," Lily replied, not really registering the question as she searched the Slytherin table for golden blonde hair.

"Aren't you going to eat," Ali asked nodding her head to Lily's uneaten dinner.

"Not hungry," Lily replied, still not paying attention.

"So I made out with you brother today," Ali lied, trying to get Lily's attention.

"That's great,"

"LILY! WAKE UP!" Ali hit the table snapping Lily's attention back.

"Sorry. Um yah, we were talking about charms."

"What is up with you Lils? You have been completely distant this whole past week! You won't talk to me, you won't talk to Annie or Alexa, and you won't talk to your brothers. What's up!"

"Just had a lot on my mind is all."

"Cheer up Lils. It's almost winter holiday! Presents, family, fun. Come on, you should be excited!"

"I am. I'm just tired is all. I think I'm going to go back to the common room, I have a lot of work to do." And with that she pushed her uneaten dinner forward, got up, and hurried out of the great hall.

"What's up with her?" Alexa asked Ali as she and Annie sat down.

"No idea," Ali replied, her eyes still on Lily as her friend headed towards the stairs.

. . .

At 11:55 that night, Lily quietly got out of bed, slipped on her shoes, grabbed the Marauder's map which she had taken from James' trunk earlier that day, and tip toed out the door.

When she arrived at the astronomy tower she found Scorpius sitting by the edge looking out over the lake. She walked over and sat down next to him, "Hey you," she said quietly.

Scorpius just gave her a nod.

"Nice night," Lily attempted again.

Scorpius nodded again.

"Okay Scor, what's up?"

"We need to talk Lils,"

"Ya I know that. You told me that in that very loving letter you wrote."

"Sorry, I wanted to have most of the talking face to face."

"So what do we need to talk about?"

"I think we should tell you parents."

"No,"

"Lily com-"

"No Scor. We have been over this. No."

"Lily we have to tell them sometime. Come on it's been three months-"

"Exactly, it hasn't been that long."

"The longer we hide this from your parents the less they are going to accept it."

"I said no Scor."

"God Lily why do you have to be so stubborn!"

"Why do you! I have already told you that I thought we should wait!"

"Lily I am trying to make this work between us! Your idea will just cause problems!"

"So you think that I'm not trying to make this relationship work! Who is the one that has been avoiding me for the past week!"

"I had a lot on my mind!"

"So you say,"

"I have been trying to figure out a way to keep this going without telling your parents but I can't think of anything! We need to tell your family!"

"I SAID NO SCOR!" Lily yelled, her Weasley temper kicking in.

"GOD I THOUGHT YOU WERE A GRYFINDOR LILY! YOUR ACTING LIKE A COWARD!"

Lily fell silent. She stared silently into Scorpius' grey eyes, trying to keep her composure. When she couldn't take the angry look in his eyes anymore she got up and started heading towards the door.

"Lily wait," Scorpius called out grabbing Lily's arm.

"What,"

"You said that you didn't want to tell your parents because we didn't know if this was going to last,"

"Yah?"

"Well I want this to last. I want to be with you Lily and no one in your family will be able to keep me away." Scorpius pulled Lily in closer and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I would be a fool to let you go," he whispered in her ear. He leaned down pressed his lips to hers. "I love you Lily," he whispered again.

"I love you to Scorpius. Always have and always will"
