"Luna, where are you taking me?" Scorpius asked his girlfriend, laughing as she dragged him down the empty and dark halls of their school.
"just shut up and you'll find out" she giggled stopping in front of an empty wall. She smiled when a door appeared.
"where is this?" Scorpius asked looking around the room once they were inside with the door securely closed.
"the Room of Requirements" she smiled. "I found it when I was looking for you a few days ago"
"this place is amazing..." Scorpius said sitting down on a red couch.
"it's like Hogwarts wants us to be together" she whispered sitting next to him and snuggling onto his chest.
"...I don't want to hide anymore Lily" he murmured into her blazing red hair.
"me neither Scorpius" She sighed
"it's almost Christmas... You'll be going home soon..." Lily smiled up at him.
"are you insinuating that you want to meet my family?" the smile on her face was contagious.
"we've been together for two years. I think it's about time" he smiled
"... So do I..." she then proceeded to kiss him. To her, the thought of him wanting to meet her family formally made her both happy, and completely terrified. He had been the one to suggest the whole secret idea in the first place. He was afraid that their reaction would influence Lily's opinion about him.
"well we know one person would be okay with it" Scorpius said with a smile.
"I'm sure Albus would be thrilled to know he was right all along" Lily laughed
"I'm sure he'd kill me for not telling him though" Scorpius said with a smirk. Lily smiled at the thought. Although it seemed hard to believe, Albus and Scorpius had become good friends. Best mates actually. James still hated him and Rose wasn't too happy about Albus's choice in friends but she was at least polite when Scorpius was around, it was already known that Lysander and Lorcan were friends with him, and even Hugo and him were on good terms since Scorpius saved him from a spider the size of a car when it came out of the Forbidden Forest. Scorpius wasn't afraid of Albus, or Lysander and Lorcan, or Hugo, or even perfect little Rose, but he was afraid of James. Even though he would never admit it, to anyone other than Lily, he was terrified of the eldest Potter and all he seemed to represent. He was the protective older brother that hated the idea of boys even LOOKING at little Lily, he was the one that once put an exploding quill in Fredrick Sullivan's backpack when he made a move on Lily on the Quiddich pitch, and he was the one that hated him. James wasn't the only one that Scorpius was afraid of though, Harry Potter himself was on the top of that list. Although Lily had assured him countless times that Harry was no one to be afraid of, that never made Scorpius feel any better. If Harry could defeat someone like Voldemort, he could certainly cause Scorpius harm with a simple twitch of his wand.
"nothings going to happen to you, you big baby" she laughed
"who's usually at your house during Christmas?" he asked ignoring her previous comment.
"well... This year everything is happening at my house, so that means uncle Ron and aunt Mione will be there, and that includes Hugo and Rose of course. Teddy's going to be there, and so is uncle Charlie. My aunt Fleur and uncle Bill will be there with Victoire, Dominique and Louis. I think uncle Percy and aunt Audrey are going with Molly and Lucy. Uncle George and aunt Angelina always come with Roxanne and Fred. Oh! And of course granddad and grandmum. Professor Longbottom's going too with his wife Hannah and their daughter Alice" she said deep in thought.
"no pressure" Scorpius said sarcastically. Lily laughed.
"oh come on! You don't have to be there all day. Just for about an hour" she laughed.
"well in that hour a lot can happen! Your brother, father, and uncles scare the living daylight out of me" he exclaimed.
"well, James is always going to bother you. Dad won't touch you if it makes me unhappy, and my uncles won't do anything... Well maybe except uncle Ron and George. Everyone else will smile politely and give you a chance. And even if my dad gives you a hard time Mum will set him straight. She knows all about you you know" the news shocked him
"she does?" he asked slightly nervous
"yup. I had to tell someone and my mum and I tell each other everything. She really wants to meet you" knowing at least one family member approved made Scorpius hopeful and incredibly determined to get on everyone's good side. Days flew by and soon everyone was on Hogwarts Express on their way home for the much needed holiday recess. Lily had managed to escape from the compartment where all her family members were sitting in, sneaking down the small halls and trying to find the right door. She smiled when she saw the familiar blonde hair she loved so much.
"I thought you ditched me" Scorpius said jokingly as she stepped into the compartment and slid the door shut.
"you know I wouldn't do that, but my family's literally everywhere! I can't get away from anyone anymore... Plus, I think Rose is suspicious" she said sitting down next to him with a loving smile.
"isn't she always?" Scorpius said taking hold of Lily's hand and pulling her onto his lap.
"yes but its different this time. I think she even tried to follow me but I got away" she smiled triumphantly as she played with her boyfriend's long hair.
"well, after tomorrow you wont have to sneak away anymore" he smiled kissing her rosy cheek.
"thank Merlin for that!" she laughed. The couple sat together, basking in each other's glory until Scorpius produced a small box from his jean pocket.
"I wanted to get you something important this year" he smiled opening the box to reveal a silver locket with the letters L&S elegantly engraved.
"oh Scorpius, it's beautiful!" she cooed
"if you stroke it and open it, it shows you any memory of us of your choosing" he smiled at her as she did exactly what he said. Her eyes sparkled when she saw the memory of their first kiss play out in front of her.
"I love it! Here, put it on for me!" she smiled passing the locket over to Scorpius eagerly. He laughed and brushed her blazing red hair to the side. He clasped the necklace securely and kissed her shoulder before returning her hair to it's original position.
"I got something for you too" she smiled reaching into her small purse and pulling out a men's watch. It looked normal, but it sure wasn't. The thick leather strap had a design of a lone scorpion holding a flower. What looked like the watch told so much more than the simple time. It was a wizard's version of a cell phone.
"you open the watch, and you can call somebody through it. I have one too. Its a way we can keep contact from long distance" she shrugged nonchalantly. Scorpius looked at the watch with open curiosity
"where did you get this? It's so... Interesting" he opened the watch, which caused a small noise to come from the bracelet Lily was wearing.
"I made it. Took me months to perfect the design and even longer to stop it from calling random crystal balls. You can choose who you want to talk to but right now, it's programed to call my bracelet" she smiled
"this is awesome! Thank you Flower" he kissed her cheek before putting the watch on his left wrist. Lily smiled before looking down at the Marauder's Map her father had given her before her first day at Hogwarts.
"shoot. Rose is looking for me" she whispered bolting up.
"I'll see you tomorrow okay?" he smiled
"tomorrow... Call me before. Just open the watch, think of me, and it'll reach me no matter where I am" she smiled running out of the compartment before he could reply. A minute later he lifted his watch and did what he was told to do. Her face appeared on the small circular screen. She was outside her compartment door.
"I love you" he said once he was sure she could hear him.
"I love you too" she said, hanging up with a light heart, and with a love sick smile gracing her delicate features.
