There were only few days till Halloween party. I was very excited. There will be first and second years there but still fun, fun, fun! Now I should only withstand boring lessons, a lot of homework and tiresome quidditch training with my two vivacious brother.

A nice feature for easy removal of difficult moments was bracelet from Scorpius. It was very malfoy-like. I remembered his words from when he gave it to me:

'Well I was going to give it to you at picnic but it's better to give it now. As a gift of first successful tutoring with me.'He said them at our quick meeting on one of the darker corridors. I really tried not to squeak too loud from excitement. This engagement was still a bit shocking for me and it was well, it was nice to know that you're going to be a wife of the most handsome man in school.

And he was mine forever. But still other girls try and flirt with him, which bothers me. There are a group of some "bitches" who are trying to steal my man. Their queen is of course Rose. I still don't know how she became this bad. In childhood, she had been nice, playing with me, telling stories, just being friends. She became a "whore" at her 3rd year. Yes, very quickly. It was when Scorpius asked for a Hogsmeade date Catherine Nott (poor Scorpy was too shy to ask any girl so he had asked his cousin to spend some time with him, James was alright with that). My "dear" cousin had became insane. She had been always talking about Scorpius, how he is cool, how he will be cooler with her and how much they are perfect. Of course she had noticed that Scorpius liked me, like a friend. We had had our favourite topics, we had been joking all the time and he had found my little pranks (when I was in first year) amusing.

Rose started bulling me but in a mild way. Luckily I had my big brothers and the rest of the family, my friends and even Max Nott, who nicknamed me the little fairy from Peter Pan, 'Tinkerbell', was on my side. And of course Aunt Hermione and Uncle Ron had been and still are 'passive' towards her, telling everyone 'It's a faze'.

Years and years later and she's still trying to do something cruel connected with me but I'm still lucky. Sometimes it just hurts. Aunt 'Mione and my mum are good friends, they love each other like sisters. I wanted this kind of relationship with Rose. Since our parents were the closest I expected her to be like a big sister to me. After first attempts at bulling I have discovered how much my other female cousins love me and want to be my big sisters. Victoire was like a sister-in-law because my godbrother, Teddy Lupin. She allow me to try her clothes and make-up every time I'm at their place. Dominique is the rebellious one, we love to listen rock and metal music together. Roxanne is the quidditch one, when I want to practice or just talk about sports, she's there for me. Molly is the sweet one, always with a good talk and hug. Lucy is the smart one, always to help with homeworkwhen Al is busy. Also I have my best female friends: Cat and Alice. And Catherine, though she'll be my future sister-in-law, I know it (James loves her so much!).

My male cousins were a big help too. Fred is my prank buddy. Hugo is a very good and happy friend. Louis is the close one, I love him the most. And my "brother" Teddy, the big guy from my childhood who was always keen to play with me, even with dolls and everything pink.

Maybe I was thinking too much but this night I had a nightmare. A realistic nightmare. I was running through the dark forest at night, badly injured. I was hearing an evil laugh. It was Rose. She tried to kill me.

'Oh, Lily. You can't run forever, my darling!'

I woke up with scream and tears. Luckily my mates from the room didn't hear me, they sleep like they are dead.

I don't care. I need to see my boys. Now.

I made my way down the girls stairs, in James' old Quidditch jersey that reached my mid thigh and a pair of girl boxers before making my way up the up the boys ones, climbing to the very top, where James slept soundly on the right side of the door of the 7th year dorms.

I move towards the bed hugging James as tight as I could, silent tears running down my cheeks. 'I love you Jamesie.' I sigh, breathing in his oh-so-familiar scent.

He breathes heavily turning towards me before slowly opening his eyes. 'Lils?' He mutters soothingly, wrapping his fingers in my hair like he always does when I'm upset. 'What's wrong? Shh, shh, nothing can hurt you, ok? I got you.' He pulled me tighter squishing my arms in between our bodies.

'I love you Jamesie.' I hiccup, 'Please don't let Rose kill me. It's not my fault I'm with Scorpius.'

'Lils, Lils.' He cups my cheeks pulling my head up from his shoulder and looking me in the eyes, 'No one will ever hurt you. Rose is a filthy bitch. She can't do anything but be a disappointment. I know your with Malfoy Lils, You didn't think you could keep that from me did you?' He whispers jokingly.

'How did you know?'

'You,' He taps my nose softly, 'can't hide anything from me, Lils, nor Al. We've known. Since it started. We love you Lils, So much. We are here.'

With the mention of Albus I start panicking again, leaping off the bed. 'Al... He got ok... Right?' I muttermindlessly, not making complete sentences as I search through James trunk for the map.

'Al is fine Lils.' He tries to soothe me but I'm panicking too much, I have to see him.

'No. No, I have to see him. Jamesie. Please.' I beg.

He watches me carefully, before deciding there's no point in declining because my stubborn mind is set. He takes out the other half to my two way mirror, telling me to get my own before leaving.

I leave his room in a rush, promising I'd go back to his room when I get back from seeing Albus.

I take my part of the two way mirror shoving it in a pair of boots I slipped on to wander the castle in.

I glide down the deserted corridors of the stone castle with practiced stealth. My shoes making no noise as my eyes scan the map looking for movement.

I finish my trip at the Slytherin entrance, presenting the password with an air of confidence. I enter silently, making my way up the stairs before turning left towards the boy dorms.

I search the door labels even though I've been here countless times. I push open the 6th year dorm room door before glancing over at Al's sleeping form. I step forward hesitantly, sliding slowly onto his bed before running my hand of his chest to see if he's still breathing. I sigh in relieve as his heart thrums rhymically against my hand.

In a sudden movement Albus is hovering over me, both of my wrists in one hand while his wand is lodged in my neck with his other. 'Lily?' he asks in disbelief.

I nod timidly as he removes himself and the wand from me, his eyes scan my face, seeing the red blotches as he curls his arms around me. I start to cry softly again. 'I love you Al.' I tell him, like I told James.

He stares at me a minute before hugging me tighter. 'I love you too Lils, but its like 2 in the morning and your breaking down in my bed.'

'I already broke down in Jamesie's,' I reveal to him, ashamed of myself for being so weak, 'I had a nightmare. Please don't kill me, or let Rose.'

I shudder, as someone plops down on the bed next to Albus. 'I would never let that brat touch you. Ever.' He pulls me tighter as another male voice speaks.

'What is she doing here?'

'She had a nightmare, and told me she loved me and has already broke down in James' bed.' Albus replies.

A hand is in mine while another smoothes my red messy of waves. I move my head from Albus' chest searching for the person who is smoothing my hair.

I glance into the stormy grey eyes of Scorpius Malfoy, his calloused hands wrapped around mine. 'You either.' I tell him. He shoots a confused look at Albus before asking me what.

'Don't Rose to me feed.' I reply, not being able to concentrate on constructing a sentence as a new wave of tears escape my eyes.

'I won't' He reassures.

Albus walks me in a blur back to James' room where I am comforted by his strong arms as him and Al speak in hushed tones while rocking me to a dreamless sleep.

The day of the Halloween Ball finally came. Lily will eventually be calmer. She had been having nightmares for a few continuous nights now and I was getting extremely angry yet anxious about it. She's been having two dreams, Firstly, one about Rose, who she is officially scared of. Secondly, that someone poisons her. She believes the dreams are going to happen, even in school where there are teachers but as she keeps reminding me, there are some people who don't approve our engagement. Luckily we still have our family and friends.

I was a lucky guy with my cousins, Max and Catherine Nott. They are children of Theo and Daphne Nott, my mother's sister and one of my father's many friends. It had been lonely for me, to be an only child, but thanks to my father with his many friends, I wasn't alone all the time. We are a family. Even when Cathie was sorted to Gryffindor, everyone thought that uncle and aunt Nott would be mad but... Surprise! They weren't. They were a bit annoyed at first but then got over it as Cathie was happy. It only mattered to them. But then when Cathie started dating Harry Potter's son, James, they were angry but eventually accepted it, after Cathie invited James for dinner at Nott Manor where they learned he's not that bad, he's not a heartbreaker and he really cares about Cathie, but they still don't like him.

My thoughts were interrupted by Max, who patted me on my arm.

'Hey mate, are you alright? You're all dreamy today, like your girlfriend.' He smiled as I grinned at him.

'Umm... yeah. I was thinking about you and Cathie.'

'Oh, is it because we constantly on your mind? Well, that's because you love us!' He laughed and stroked my hair.

'You wish, you're an annoying bastard. So, are you excited about ball?'

'Of course! Finally some fun and I get to dance all night with my Amelia"'

'Now you're dreamy! And of course, "dancing"…'

Max smacked me lightly on the back. 'You little pervert! And you better go and change into your costume. Remember, we're going as muggle Justice League!'

'Even though no one will get it.' I mutter as I leave to get ready.

Yes, Albus' crazy idea, since he is the only one with connection to the muggle world. He, Lily and James are aloud to go to muggle London a few times a year to collect books and clothes for Lily, comics, books and clothes for Albus and for James clothes, dates and movies for the TV Ginny Potter begged Harry Potter for 2 years ago.

Since we are the Muggle Justice League, I'm going as Batman, Max as Supermen, Albus is Green Lantern. I hoped that people won't laught at us. Or would recognize us. Hopefully they will laught at Rosie's costume, Hugo told Albus who told me about her "special look" and the only thing I can do is wait to see this little tragedy on the Great Hall. Just to cheer Lily and myself up.

After few hours we were ready to "save the world!". Well, it looked weird but I was sure that Lily will like it. I ignored the winks and flirty words from random girls and just followed my friends.

'Oh, boys, you look lovely!' Amelia Zabini greeted us with hugs, then kisses for Max before taking a photo of us.

'Choose my better side, ok?' Al asked and we all chuckled.

'Oh, Albie,' She cooed, as he flinched, only Lily could call him Albie. 'You're such a girl today, aren't you?' Questioned Mia as she pushed Al feebly, afterwards retreating into her boyfriends arms.

The Great Hall looked amazing. With Black spiders dangling from the ceiling, spider webs covering the walls as the stone floor creaked wearily. The candles floated with black flames, as ripped table cloths and 'blood' punch overtook the tables at the back of the hall. A stage surrounded by red velvet curtains remained closed for now but I knew later a wizard rock band will take the stage for us to rock out to, since I was a prefect I got to help with all this decorating and planning. It took our breathes away as we entered. The smell of chocolate and candy floss filled the air as scary carved pumpkins welcomed us. I took a bite of a pumpkin cake but I drop it accidently as I saw Lily come in, she was a vision.

I entered the darkness of the great hall alone. Cat had gotten a date with a certain Kayden Flint, a 4th year Slytherin with dark brown quaffed hair, mysterious green eyes covered by amazingly attractive thick eyebrows. He was very attractive, the best looking in our year if you don't count Louis Weasley, who is going with Alice Longbottom! It was so cute!

So I ended up strutting in alone, the silver tutu dress I tried on in the shop with my dark red doc martins, because they made me feel less self conscious, a red ribbon twisting delicately up my arm while my hair was curled more than normal with red, silver and gold sparkling ribbons placed randomly by Cat before she left.

With my wand in my boot I hand nothing to occupy my hands with, so they twitched at my sides with discomfort. I spot Molly in the corner with another Ravenclaw I don't know the name of, he's short and has an unusual handsomeness about him.

I make my over to her, smiling slightly beneath my mask as she grins at me.

''Lo Mol'' I wave.

'Did miss Lily lose her date?' She asks, laughing slightly, nudging her friend.

'Maybe... But I'm going to dance anyway.' I call to her moving my hips as I enter the dance floor.

Everyone seems to be in pairs or groups, but I don't care, my hands raise above and sway my hips to the beat of the high tempo song.

I'm shaken out of my dreamy dance as a hand snakes it way around my waist, trying to dance with me. I react quickly turning around and slapping the handsy guy who has tried to dance without and invitation nor a invite.

The guy, who looks like he's in seventh year, gives me a dirty glance before leaving the dance floor clutching his cheek.

Another hand, this time tapping my shoulder takes me out of my seething anger.

I spin on my heel finding a lanky tall boy with a prominent jaw line and high cheekbones staring down at me with stormy grey eyes dressed as a cat? A bat? I'm terrible with muggle things that don't include books.

'What are you?' I giggle taking in his appearance.

'I'm Batman?' He replies as if it's obvious, 'Albus told us about it. He's the only one with muggle connections.'

I stare up at him, as my hand trails down his torso. 'Well, I'm not complaining.'

'Would you care to dance, my princess?' I nod mutely swaying my hips as he places his hands firmly on them, pulling me closer. 'You look beautiful. The prettiest thing here by far.'

Heat rises to my cheeks as I duck my head, muttering a thank you. He takes a hand off my waist twisting my hair around his fingers, 'But your mask is covering most of your gorgeous face.'

I sigh, 'We can leave early if you want to see it off.'

He steps back looking startled before I realize and correct myself, 'My mask off Scor. Mask.'

He flushes looking truly embarrassed, 'Sorry, that sentence was messed up when it went in my head.' He lifts his head looking away from me until I bring it back, smiling encouragingly.

We dance for the next hour occasionally stealing quick kisses and conversation before we are forced to retire off the floor for drinks.

He leaves me at a table in the far corner of the great hall so we are out of the way. I can't wipe the stupid grin off my face as I watch the dancing couples, finding glimpses of Cat, James, Albus and Louis dancing madly with their dates.

Someone sinks into the seat next to me, a girl in a 'sexy nurse outfit', I shudder inwardly. Why would you wear something like that in public.

The girl turns to me, her head of red hair whips in my face as her cold blue eyes stare into mine.

'Hey Lils, having fun. You'll never guess who I've been dancing with all night.' Rose smirks, dragging the all with her tongue slickly. 'Well, I shouldn't kiss and tell. But Scorpius Malfoy has the best tongue.' She runs her tongue over her lips in what she must think is seductive.

I get lost with her words forgetting the fact she said his name before I see him at the front of the drinks table.

'How can you have been?' I say, confused.

'Because hunny, he might of come with you considering your engaged but he wants me.' She snarls, standing up. Her outfit rising into her arse with every step as her 6inch stilettos carry her with little difference than me with the heavy docs.

'Alright Princess?' Scorpius asks as he moves next to me, putting his arm protectively over my shoulder.

'Forget the drinks.' I tell him, taking his hand and dragging him out of the hall and up a maze of stairs.

'What?' He questions again. 'Where are we?'

I ignore his questions, ditching his hand and strutting past the same stretch of corridor 3 times thinking 'I need a place for Scorpius and I where we can be alone.'

A door appears where I have been walking, I run to Scorpius grabbing his hand and taking him into the room which is filled with cushions and bedding, as if it's a huge den of blankets. The blonde boy stares around amazed. His grey eyes bulging with confusion and wonder.

'What is going o-' I cut off his question with a kiss, pulling his head down, and running my tongue across his lip. I take my lips away from his, removing my mask, along with his.

'Sh.' I mutter, slipping my tongue in his mouth as one hand moves to his hair and the other to feeling of his abs.

His tongue fights mine for dominance, his hands wind into my hair.

My hand subtly moves to the hem of his shirt, trying to remove it while the one in hair jumps to the zip of my dress struggling to pull it down smoothly.

He pulls away as I try and move his arms up so I can remove his top. 'What is wrong with you?' He spits, his hands shaking slightly.

And I don't know how but the next thing I know he is lying on the blankets and cushions with me crying into his chest, repeating 'I'm sorry.' As he soothes me by smoothing my hair and whispering words of comfort.

This was not how I pictured the night ending. Not at first, not ever.

I wake up with Scorpius looking down at me. My eyes flutter open, as kisses me on the forehead and looked in my eyes.

'Lily... Why did you do that?' He whispers and cupping my cheeks. I try to calm myself down and say few words. He needs an explanation.

I repeat every single word that Rose had said. I wasn't looking at him, just talking and clenching my fist around the blanket. After I finished I added something from myself:

"I don't know why but I was feeling that you needed something like this. Something more intimate. Physical contact. The truth is that you really need someone advanced in relationships. I'm only 14 and I'm so childish. Maybe we should talk about the engagement to our parents, Rose will be a better cho-'

I was stopped my a kiss. One of the best kisses in my life. His lips were warm and soft, moving with love in sync with mine. After it Scorpius nestled me into his chest and stared in to my eyes.

'Lily, don't say things like that. I know what you think, what everyone boys in my age have their "needs" and they think only about them. Sure, usually it's like that but I'm not that much like this. Well. I do think about, uh... you and I' He blushed, 'but we should do this when both of us will want it. You're not ready. We're not ready. We've been together about 2 months, it's a short time. Lils, I really like you and there are other ways to show it. Look, we're truly in love. Is there something more beautiful than showing it by kisses and cuddles?'

I was looking at him with a poker face. I really didn't know what to say, his words were fantastic and gooey but I couldn't believe in them.

He probably read something shown on my face because he started looking confused. 'I know, I know, I don't say these things. But am I a normal boy? My mother raised me to be a gentleman. A good and polite man, who can treat his woman in the best way. And what I have said, everything is true. Though that kiss last night was pretty fantastic.' He says, realizing why I look confused.

I started crying. Scorpius Malfoy really loves me! And I did something stupid.

'Scorpius! I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry!'

'Shhh, it's ok. I understand you and don't blame you. But please...' He smirked, 'Me and this Rose-monster? No way!"

Now we both were laughing. Yes, that was crazy.

'Hey, but she had said that she was kissing with me, right? And of course she had known that I'm in my Batman costume...' Scorpy grinned and continued, 'You know, I'm not only Batman yesterday, this guy from the 7th year, in Slytherin, Marcus Webber.'

'I know him! He's a womanizer!'

'Yeah, all school knows that, so...I don't want to be cruel but Rosie-Posie will be tomorrow a gossip topic number 1.'

'That's the best news!' I giggled and Scorpius kissed me again.

'So, my little princess. Do you want to go back to sleep considering it is,' He checks his watch, '4 o'clock in the morning.'

'Yeah. There is everything what we want here.'

I looked around the room. A bathroom, our one big room with a cozy bed, a lot of pillows and blankets. Little heaven.

'Scorpius, there's only one thing I need to do, James and Cat'll be worried about me.' I glance around the room spotting both of my two way diaries, one that I share with James piled on top of the one I share with Cat and Louis.

I write in James and mine first:

'Hey James, I am staying in the room of requirement tonight. Sorry you won't be able to use it with Catherine. haha.

Scorpius is staying in here too...

But dont worry! We are in SEPERATE beds.

I will tell you about the devil spawn incident in the morning,

Love you.'

The next one I write in is Cat and Louis:

'Guys. Guess where I am?

The Come and Go room with Scorpius!

But nothing is happening Cat. I am not like that, and you know it.

The thorn was speaking to me yesterday... Did you see that costume, I almost puked! But anyway, I will tell you about it tomorrow.'

We were lying on the the softest pillows, feeling our heartbeats, whispering about the pranks I had pulled when James and Al wouldn't let me play with them.

We changed to pajamas in the bathroom and curled up together on the piles of cushions and blankets. It was the first time when we were trying to sleep together. And I really hoped that not the last.

It was the Gryffindor vs Ravenclaw match.

The stands were surround by fog. I couldn't see my hand in front of my face never mind the players on the brooms. It made me jittery knowing Lily was out there. It was obviously having the same affect on Albus as he was constantly yelling out Lily's positions to James, and clenching and unclenching his fists when he couldn't see the flash of long bright red hair that signified to be her.

Her and Louis shouts signify a goal for Gryffindor as Albus relaxes at the sound of her voice.

'And another Goal to Gryffindor, the shouts of Potter and Weasley tell me.' The announcer projects, a loud roar comes from the stands to the left, and even though you can't see them you know its Gryffindor. The roars are Loud and constant until a scream ripples from mid-pitch.

'JAMES!' Lily screaches.

James turns in the direction of her voice, as he hovers near me and Albus, 'LILS?' He repeats her name panicking.

'JAAAAAAMSIEEEEEEE!' He spins around, seeing a bludger coming towards him, but his reflexes are quick as he lifts his bat and knocks the bludger away with a defining 'bang!'

'LILS?' He shouts again as Fred pulls up next to James, shouting to him implications. 'LOUIS?'

There's no reply when James calls nor when Fred.

'Al. Get your fucking broom.' James screams at him, jumping off his broom next to Albus, 'You too Scorpius. Something isn't right. Her voice wasn't there.' He mumbles to himself, telling Al to hurry up before getting on his broom and setting off to put a stop to the game.

Albus accio's his broom as I get mine. We take to the air, searching around before the storm takes a turn for the worse, a strike of lightening brightens the sky for a glimpse of a second being followed by an eruption of thunder.

'THE MATCH IS FINISHED!' McGonagallll shouts, 'TO YOUR COMMON ROOMS. NOW. EVERYONE.'

There's a mad rush of students fleeing to the castle as Fred, James, Al and I stay watching the pitch for a sign of movement.

After an hour McGonagalll is back down the pitch screaming, 'What do you 4 think you're doing! James Potter?'

James stands confidently at first before his shoulders slouch and he says in a slightly panicked voice, 'Have you seen Lily and Louis?'

'What do you mean Mr. Potter? Lily has been in the Hospital wing along with Louis for the past hour and a half as Louis was hit by abludger and took Lily down with him. They've been waiting for you. Everyones been looking for you everywhere.' She ends looking extremely confused.

'Oh..' James mutters. 'Well we better go see them then.. Thank you Professor.' He says before making a run for the castle followed by the rest of us.

'She is fine, James! They both are!' McGonagalll shouts after us, but we ignore her running to get the panic out of our system.

Both Lily and Louis looked fine, just tired. My princess greeted me with a small smile and I quickly put her hand in mine.

'Lily, are you alright? Have they been helping you?' I asked while panicking but she patted me with a second hand on my shoulder.

'Scorpius, it's fine. I feel good. Lulu too.'

'Hey, stop using that nickname!' Shouted Weasley from his bed next to her. Lily laughed.

'Please, it's like asking if I would stop to breathe. I know that you love it really!'

James sat on the opposite side of her bed and his eyes filled with tears.

'Lily, Lily. I am so sorry.'

'James, it wasn't your fault. It wasn't anybody's fault. I don't think.'

'I think that the attack was from the guest side of the pitch.' Said Albus as he watched us with no emotion in his thoughtful face. That could mean only one thing, Al has started inspecting the incident just like his favourite muggle character is Sherlock Holmes.

'You don't think that it could be one of the students?' Asked a confused James. The younger Potter jumped at him, shaking his shoulders with shouted with a shining eyes.

'Of course I do! It must be someone from Hogwarts...'

'Like who?' I asked

'Hm... I'd say, someone from the Slytherin side of the stands, for sure. But... it could be anyone...like Rose?'

Lily paled. James squeezed her hand as I looked angrily at Albus.

'Al, stop that. You see the effect on her.'

'Ok, ok…'

'Guys, but think.' said Louis, taking the attention of everyone. 'It's small chance that she did it, I mean there's like 300 students here, it might not be her. There's also the fact this person might be under the Imperio curse.'

Right. I know that there can be people who hate Lily and me that much…but not that much to kill us. There must be someone else.

After half hour I left as more people filed in to see Lily and Louis, like their parents, cousins and best friends. Even my cousin and Lily's godbrother Teddy Lupin came. And of course my parents, which I came back for.

It was nice to see how much Lily likes my mother and vice versa. Also she smiled a bit at my father and he smirked in Malfoyish type. Typical but lovely.

At night unfortunately I had to leave my lovely girlfriend. Most people left to, there were only Mrs. Potter and Louis sisters, Dominique and Victoire. The rest had to go to work or to sleep (students). But luckily I had another way to communicate with my princess.

After I saw the 2-way notebooks she had with James, Louis and Cat I had found some practical charms that turned our notebooks into one too.

Hey princess, how do you feel? Your mother is still there?

Hey. No, mummy leftto go home along with Vic and Domi too. It was nice to see everybody. Your parents too! I really like your mum.

What about dad?

He was interesting...you know, he's so Malfoyish.

Well, I am Malfoy too…

But the best one!

You'll be Malfoy too.

Then I'll be the best. And I'm not saying that I don't like it…

I feel through the paper that you're blushing.

I'M NOT!

You're precious, Lils. And I promise you that I'll find out who did it...with both my father and your father, theres no stopping us. They're the best aurors.

I know, I know, Daddy is Head Autor and your is kind of Vice Head Auror. I don't know when they became work buddies.

Buddies? You're kidding, right?

No, it's nice to see that they tolerate each other and quite enjoy each other company. Uncle Ron is a bit jealous, Daddy said so. haha.

Hey, are you excited about Christmas?

Of course! It's not much time to wait for my favourite time of the year! I mean there's presents! Cakes! Snow! Everything!

I love it when you're full of energy, my princess. I can't wait till you get better... I think you need more hugs. Goodnight, Lily.

Night Scor.
