Thank you to everyone who read and reviewed. I'm trying to add more Scorpius because I know I don't actually write too much on him, but he's actually kinda hard to write.

This is a little bit of a shorter chapter so please bear with me; I'm trying to write as much as I can.

Please tell me if you have any ideas.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or anything you recognise.

SCORPIUS P.O.V

Whose idea was it to come down to the beach again? Oh right, James. Remind me to punch him later. This girl, Lauren, is crazy. Absolutely mental. And very forward. I wanted to leave but I could see James wanted to stay and keep talking. So we stayed. Am I not just the best-brothers-best-mate ever?

Anyway, Al and I decided to go get ice cream from the ice cream truck parked on the curb across the road. Lauren latched onto us so the three of us went. Oh great, now she's asking for my number.

"Um, my phone…broke. So I need a new one so I won't know my new number so…" I said, desperately searching for an excuse, despite the fact I had gotten a new IPhone just last Christmas. Albus smirked at me. We walked back down to the beach and dragged James away from his girl.

As we were walking back I punched his arm.

"What the hell was that for?" He exclaimed.

"Dragging us down there and making me hang out with Lauren." I scowled.

"Hey, you came of your own free will." He laughed.

"I don't care, it was your idea." I retorted.

LILY P.O.V

I had just gotten back from my shopping spree, feeling rather satisfied with my haul. I went up to my room where I dumped my stuff, feeling relived that the kitchen was clean. God that was so embarrassing.

Going down to the kitchen, I grabbed a glass of water. Mum was there, baking something.

"Hey Lil, do you want to help with this? I'm making caramel slice." She asked.

"Sure." I responded. Little known fact: I love baking.

"Just make sure you don't have another food fight." She joked. I blushed.

I noticed a piece of parchment on the bench. It was an invitation. Mum saw me looking at it.

"That's an invitation to the Zabini's ball." She said. "I'm thinking about going. It'll be nice to get dressed up and go out."

I nodded in agreement. Albus poked his head around the corner.

"A ball?" He said, wrinkling his nose. Scorpius also entered the kitchen, smirking at me. I blushed once again.

"Oh, the Zabini ball. My family usually goes. It's an annual thing." He said.

"What's it like?" I asked.

"Very flashy. People go all out. Gowns, dress robes, everything." He said.

"I'll talk to your dad about it." Mum said with a wink. I knew that meant that we would definitely be going. If mum wanted to, we would.

SCORPIUS P.O.V

I figured they would most likely be going to the ball, which I was not looking forward too. My parents would be there, and Potter's and Malfoy's do NOT mix. I guess it would be kinda fun though.

Just then, Lily popped her head around the corner of the room.

"Hey guys, I'm meeting Dom at the pool. Do you want to come?" She asked. Al and I agreed, so we grabbed our board shorts and towels and went downstairs to wait. Ten minutes later, Lily (finally) came down. She was wearing a simple white sun dress and a pair of sandals.

"Took your time." Al commented. Lily glared back.

We arrived at the pool. It was an outdoor pool, near the beach. There was no one there except a very impatient Dominique.

"Took your time." She said.

"That's what I said!" Al exclaimed. I chuckled.

I ripped off my shirt, as I was already wearing my board shorts, and jumped in the pool.

LILY P.O.V

OH MY MERLIN, HIS ABS!

SCORPIUS P.O.V

I smirked as I saw the youngest Potter staring at my chest. Swimming over to her, I gave her my infamous Malfoy smile.

"Like what you see?" I said.

"You wish." She retorted. She took of her dress, revealing a blue strapless bikini. Damn.

Crap, now I'm the perv that's staring.

"Like what you see?" She said, taking my words from before.

"Yeah right!" I replied.

I didn't even notice Al sneaking up behind me before I got splashed. I turned around, getting water out of my eyes before Lily splashed me as well. Dominique also swam over.

COME ON, WHAT IS THIS? GANG UP ON ALBUS DAY?

This was war.

After we finished our water fight and we were all tired, we got out of the pool. I noticed Dominique and Lily's lips had gone blue. The sun was setting, making the sky go a beautiful orang-y pink. As we started to walk back, Lily pulled me back.

"I had fun today Scorpius." She said, smiling. Coming from her, that's like the biggest compliment ever.

I paused for a moment.

"I had fun too, Lily."
