Lily Luna Potter and The Last Hallow

Chapter Four

Our Last Summer

Sorry about the long wait guys, I've had eight tests in just over a month. Tad hectic!!! Please review as I'll try to update more regularly but got two tests this week though.

Time had past, winters had come and gone and now Lily was about to start her sixth year at Hogwarts. But for now she, Crawford and Seth were staying with the McLaggens in France.

Lily's eyes fluttered open as the sun's rays shone through her window. Stretching her arms she sat up in bed. Soon she heard a knock on her door, "Come in."

The door opened and Seth walked in carrying a tray full of scrambled egg and toast, "Hey baby." he cooed. She smiled as her boyfriend came and kissed her good morning.

"Aaaw thanks Honey. You are amazing." she said as she took a forkful of her eggs. "Where's Crawford?" she asked.

"He's just out for a run." replied Seth nonchalantly, Crawford may be one of her best friends but he was Lily's boyfriend so her constant enquiring about Crawford annoyed him a tad.

"Okay; well, I'm gonna get changed so I'll meet you downstairs." she smiled as she waved him off her bed and out the door.

Lily climbed out of bed and opened her curtains; she stared out onto the peaceful French countryside. It was so different from her view back at Grimmauld place.

Smiling she closed the curtains and pulled open her wardrobe doors. Quickly she changed into a Ramones t-shirt and a pair of short denim shorts over her blue bikini.

Singing to herself she skipped down the stairs and into the kitchen where she found Seth and Crawford. Seth was drinking coffee while Crawford animatedly described his run. It had been the same for the last couple of years; every time Crawford returned to his family's home he was stalked by this group of local girls and this time they had decided to run after him, "No wonder those girls chased you, when you go around topless all the time." she laughed. Crawford didn't play quidditch like she and Seth did but make no mistake he was no stranger to exercise. Crawford could be seen daily either swimming in or running laps around the Lake. He often attracted more girls at Hogwarts than he did even here. But he never really seemed all that interested.

Crawford burst into laughter, picking up Lily he slung her over his shoulder.

"Crawford, if you don't put me down. I'll…"

"You'll what?" Lily unable to respond glared at her boyfriend.

Seth stood up, placing his mug on the breakfast bar. "Stop Crawford." Lily smiled in victory. "Give me her feet." Lily's smile vanished as a scheming one danced on Seth's lips.

Together, the guys carried Lily out of the house and round the pool where with a large splash they dropped her. Glowering Lily emerged from below the surface. Her anger soon vanished as two even larger splashes happened beside her and soon she, Crawford and Seth were messing around in the pool.

And even though the summer was coming to a close Lily could feel her heart glowing like a phoenix's flaming feathers as she felt the love between her and her friends. Eternal love or so it did seem during their last summer.

Back in London, or more specifically Kensington lay Rose Weasley as a tall blonde man caressed her body.

"Stop Scorp." she sighed. Scorpius turned his face to face hers.

"What's wrong Rose." he asked as he played with a strand of her long dark hair.

"Aren't you tired of it?" she moaned.

"Tired of what?"

"Hiding. Keeping US a secret. Avoiding my cousins' and friends' questions about our love lives." She stood up her camisole clinging to her slender curves.

Scorpius Malfoy stood and staring her in the eyes spoke with complete honesty, "I love you Rose Weasley and nothing or no one can ever change that. If you want to tell everyone I'll stand with you."

"Oh Scorp." Rose wrapped her arms around his neck. "Let's wait till nearer Christmas as James is planning to propose at Hallowe'en and I don't want to steal their moment."

"Whatever makes you happy. My glorious Rose." smiled Scorpius as he leant in towards her to kiss her full on the mouth.

Up in Edinburgh was James Sirius Potter who was making a late breakfast for his girlfriends, Hayley Wood.

They had both moved up there for university after a whirlwind romance in seventh year. Hayley was now a writer for the now national magazine, the Quibbler and James was a healer.

James sighed as Hayley descended the spiral staircase that led to their bedroom. She wrapped her arms around his chest and placed her head on his shoulder. "Mmmn… That smells so good. You are the best boyfriend in the world." James turned and kissed her softly. "Hey! Eyes on my French toast mister." Hayley laughed.

All James could think about as Hayley danced around the kitchen in her tiny pyjama bottoms and top was how surprised she would be when she saw the ring that symbolized his wanting to spend the rest of their lives together.
