Scorpius didn't speak to Lily for days. The days that seemed to drag on without her eyes meeting his turned into months and soon it was almost Christmas. He watched her the day of the yearly trip into town and noticed some things that he hadn't noticed before. She was taller than when she arrived, her short hair was noticeably longer, and her smile was even brighter- if that was possible. He openly admired her from afar, having come to the conclusion only a month earlier that he liked the youngest Potter more than he should. While in Hogsmeade he noticed she was alone for the first time in months, and approached her in Honeydukes.

"Got a bit of a sweet tooth there huh Potter?" he smirked, picking up a bag of chocolate frogs. She looked up and unexpectedly smiled at him.

"Of course! I love candy. My brothers gave me money to buy some today seeing that it's my birthday" her smiled warmed him as she grabbed the chocolate frogs from him and walked toward the Licorice wands. Of course the news of her birthday wasn't a shock to him; he found out an hour earlier and even bought her something he saw her admire in Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment. It was a magical ring that would enable her to tell when someone was being truthful or not. It also let you know what people were feeling at mere skin to skin contact. The gift was in a leather box in his front pocket.

"happy birthday Lily… would you like to accompany me to the Tea Shop?" he smiled at her stunned face. "some tea to celebrate your birthday" he explained. She smiled again

"oh… well… sure why not. I don't have to meet Rose for another hour" she paid for her candy and followed Scorpius to the small tea shop that was filled with other students. The two sat in an isolated corner of the shop, sipping tea, and eating cake when Scorpius put the leather box on the table.

"What's that?" Lily asked curiously. Scorpius smiled and slid it over to her. She opened the box and gasped. The beautiful color changing crystals stared back at her.

"I heard it was your birthday and I saw you looking at it in Wiseacre's" he shrugged. Lily looked at him disapprovingly.

"You shouldn't have done that Scorpius. It's beautiful but it's too much." He laughed

"Do you like it?" he simply asked

"Well… of course but-" he cut her off with a tender smile

"Then it's enough" he looked over toward the window and saw James Potter staring at the two.

"Thank you" she whispered gaining his attention.

"No problem" he was surprised to see the leather box gone and the ring on her right ring finger. "I think your brother is just about ready to kill me" he laughed "you should go" she smiled at him.

"You're right. Thanks again Scorpius" she smiled standing up.

"Happy birthday Lily" he also stood, looking away to grab his coat. In the second he was distracted, he felt something warm on his pale cheek. When he looked up he saw Lily running out of the Tea Shop. His face turned into a delicate shade of pink moments later when he realized she had kissed his cheek. He wore a smile the whole way back to Hogwarts. The next day he walked into the Grand Hall accompanied by his two friends. He passed the Gryffindor table earning a glare from James and a smile from Lily. He was happy to notice that her good mood toward him was not a onetime thing that only happened because it was her birthday. Half way through breakfast he remembered the notebook that didn't belong to him that was sitting in his backpack. He grabbed it and walked over to the Gryffindor table. Everyone looked at him with shock and curiosity as he tapped Albus Potter on the shoulder. Albus turned and raised an eyebrow.

"I came to return the Potions notes. They were really helpful… thanks" Rose nearly choked and James openly gawked.

"Sure no problem, if you ever need help don't hesitate to ask" Albus smiled

"Oh I won't" he smiled back before turning to Lysander.

"Mum says to tell your mother hello on her part" Lysander nodded and Scorpius walked back to his table.

"What was that?" Rose asked, beating James to the punch.

"Scorpius asked for help on the Potions homework. I just let him borrow my notes" Albus shrugged.

"So he's Scorpius now?" James asked raising an eyebrow.

"He's not so bad James" Lily spoke up biting her toast.

"How would you know?" James asked looking at her suspiciously.

"He and I have been talking lately, and he even gave me a ring for my birthday" she said while eating

"He what?" James shot up from his seat, nearly yelling at his little sister. Lily glared.

"Sit down you prick" her command rang though the whole hall and many people laughed as James sat with a grumble.

"How about you Lysander, Lorcan?" Hugo asked curiously

"They spend most holidays with us. Mum and Mrs. Malfoy were friends since they were here" Locan said

"We never told you because we knew you wouldn't like it very much" Lysander shrugged. James grumbled for the rest of breakfast and for most of the morning. After classes Lily smiled when she saw the snow covered grounds.

"It's nice isn't it?" the voice startled her, but she soon felt herself relax when she noticed it was just Scorpius.

"Completely" she agreed. She looked up at him and smiled. Their hand's brushed and her crystal ring changed from clear to pink. She smiled down at it.

"Thanks again for the ring... it's very useful" she said suddenly

"Really?" he asked

"really" she kissed him then. It took him by surprise but it didn't take long for him to respond. His arms wound around her waist and he held her close. Their kiss started out innocent, but it wasn't long until she was tugging at his blond hair and he was holding her as close as he possibly could. When she finally pulled away she was blushing bright red.

"I'm glad you like the ring" he whispered breathlessly.

"I'm glad you gave it to me" she whispered back as he moved to hug her.
