New day, new challenges. I couldn't stop thinking about yesterday. Before going to wait for Scorpius outside the dugeons with his favourite strawberry cake, I had written to my parents. Just one simple word: Why?
I was curious and scared in the same moment. My parents love me, they wouldn't do this for money, or fame, or anything really. I don't know what is happening! Even Albus and James are calm. And James and calm are rarely in the same sentance on a good day! Albie is already joking about me being Mrs. Malfoy and being Slytherin Princess. James for a few minutes was plotting a murder plan for Scorpius but finished at evil laughing and then left to seek out his girlfriend, Catherine Nott with Marauders map. My big brother was always this happy-happy one and I was jealous of that in this moment.
The little night-cake party with Scorpius was really lovely. We have talked about everything, like always. He was pratting on about his favourite quidditch team, The Puddlemere United. I talked about my cat, Poppy and the book that Aunt Luna had recommend, about fairies and angels. Then I started "dreaming". Mum always calls it my "Luna mood". For most of people it was funny, how my eyes would widen and glitter, my lips turn upwards into a smile and my hands would apsentmindidly titch, but (my) Malfoy man thought it was adorable. He just stared at me with a big smile and pulled me into a side hug, pulling me tigher and tighter in.
Maybe this marriage was not a bad idea?
But what about out love-life?
Our dates?
Our little love-ones?
At holidays I had someone like a boyfriend – In Spain I met Ricardo. He was a nice muggle boy, very handsome and very talented at music. It was so innocent and I'm still happy about it. It was a few days of little love. Scorpius seemed very angry about this guy. I have thought that maybe because Ric is a muggle but maybe Scorpy…no, it's not like that.
I sat in "Luna-mood" in the library, dreaming of how life would work out. But was snapped out of it by Lorcan. He was always the closest one to me out of Luna's sons.
'Hey Lily, how are you?'
'Good, really good.' I reply cheerily.
'You're still worried about the marriage?' He asks.
'No, it's ok with me.'
'Lils, I see what I see. Come one, you can tell me?' He tells me before hugging and kissing me on the forehead. Just a little friendly kiss. One that showed he cared in a friendily way. But then I spotted Scorpius near us. He was pale and... angry? Sad? Terrified? His books have fell to the floor before he turned on his heal and strutted away.
I wasn't sure, but whatever he saw he definitely didn't like it. But why?
I followed him with my eyes but he disappeared fast.
'Lily?' Started Lorcan but I patted him on the arm.
' Sorry, my friend, but I must clearify something stupid. We'll talk later about your mum's book, alright?'
' Alright.' Said Lorcan with a big, loony smile, like nothing happened.

I moved through the corridor in a hurry, pushing past everyone who got in my way while still replying to the people saying 'hello' to me.
I make my way outside, the blonde who comes into view infront of me is one I reconise instantly.
'Scor!' I scream, running down the hill towards him.
He doesn't turn around or slow down, just carries on at his normal pace.
'Scor!' I shout again before slipping on the wet grass, a little scream escaping my lips.
I just lie there, on the ground, defeated.
He just left. And i dont know why? What if it's because he doesn't want to marry me?
I close my eyes as the rain starts to pour down on my vunerble form.
'Lils! Lils! Lily, are you ok?' Scorpius rushes out hurridly. 'I'm sorry, I should've stopped. Are you ok? Lils?
I open my eyes to his stormy grey ones staring at me in shock and panic. 'Why did you leave?' I mutter, closing my eyes again.
'Because, I see now Lil, you don't want this, don't want to marry me. Not when you have Lorcan.' The blonde spits out the name as if it's Voldemorts.
'No...No. I want this, you don't? Don't you? I mean Lorcan is my friend... I have never thought of him as more... He's like my cousin.' I laugh, opening my eyes, to where his face is still centimeters away.
'Lily, I couldn't think of a better girl to marry and become Mrs. Malfoy.' He winks, making heat rise to my cheeks.
'Really?' I ask, and when he nods thats all the encoragement I need as I push my head up off the ground and meet his lips with mine.
The kiss was soft, our lips barely touching but giving us so much. His lips tasted like vanilla.
I move my hands to run through his messy hair, the rain still pouring but neither of us are paying attention to anything but eachother. He moves his hand to hold my head as he licks my bottom lip for entrance to my mouth. His other hand still holds his weight over mine as I open my mouth, letting his tongue explore. This kiss turns passionate and something else?
It's a battle for dominance which he wins.
We stay like that until I can't breathe anymore, until I can see stars. But he doesn't move too far away, as he hovers above me, tucking my hair behind my ear, whispering 'You are so beautiful Lily Potter. Would you do the honour of being my girlfriend?'
And even though we are engaged my breathe still catches in my throat.
'Well, Since we're engaged... Yes, I will be your girlfriend.'
He pulls away, 'Please don't answer based on the engagement, Lily.' His voice is strained, like he is trying not to show anger. I push myself into a sitting position.
'Scor, it's not based on the engagement. I would've said yes if you asked me before the engagement was arranged...' I say, bowing my head, making my hair cover my face.
'Serious?' He exclaims.
I just nod, too embarressed to look up. But his fingers are under my chin, his thumbs moving my hair out of my face before his lips are latched onto mine again.
And this time, I know it's happiness aswell as passion in there too.
