A/N: I know that McGonagall retired by Scorpius' first year, but I really don't like OCs since I like sticking to canon, even though McGonagall shouldn't be headmistress if I went with it. Sorry.

9. Hear a really scary story about two enemies who got married. Terrifying.

After the Sorting, the Headmistress pulled Weasley and I out of the feast and dragged us to her office, also known as the 'Office of Doom.'

Basically, she wanted to tell us something.

Either that, or Weasley killed someone and I was somehow involved in it.

It's possible, that girl needs anger management!

McGonagall made us sit down.

"Sit down," said McGonagall, sitting down on an armchair that looked way more comfortable than ours.

I was about to sit down when I noticed something.

"There's writing on it! 'James Potter'?" I said, staring at said writing.

"Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley came here so often that I just gave them their own chairs," explained McGonagall.

"I believe you gave them their own chairs after the, ah, 'Pokemon Incident'*," drawled Professor Snape's portrait, smirking slightly.

I tried not to laugh, but Weasley looked scandalized at the reminder of the 'incident'.

In our first year, Potter and Weasley had somehow convinced Hagrid that these fantasy muggle creatures called 'Pokemon' existed. It had been a hot topic at Hogwarts for WEEKS, with muggle-borns and wizard-raised students arguing about it.

Though, after doing some research about Pokemon, I thought it would be kind of cool if they were real.

"But that's not what you're here about," said McGonagall seriously. "I just wanted to tell you two that for the sake of the school, please try to set aside your differences and work together."

She said this like she had told another two Heads who were enemies before.

Suddenly, I thought back to a time when I had detention in the trophy room.

'"You missed one, boy!" cackled Filch with glee.

I scowled and went to scrub the cup he was talking about.

After about ten minutes, I looked at the stained cup in frustration and read it.

'In honor of Lily and James Potter, Head Girl and Boy, and heroes to the end.''

Then, I thought back to the first time I had heard the names 'Lily and James' together:

'"I AM A BILLION TIMES SMARTER THAN YOU'LL EVER BE, MALFOY!" bellowed Weasley, looking like she wanted to murder me.

"KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT, WEASLEY!" I bellowed back.

"Worse than Lily and James…" mumbled Sinistra.'

Without thinking, I blurted out, "Like Lily and James?"

McGonagall widened her eyes. "You know their story?"

"No," I admitted. "I heard Professor Sinistra say something about 'worse that Lily and James' in first year, and read a cup dedicated to them in detention."

Weasley looked at us curiously. "Who are Lily and James, Professor? I don't think they're my cousins Lily and James either."

McGonagall nodded. "Lily Luna and James Sirius Potter were named after their grandparents, Lily Evans Potter and James Potter."

Weasley gasped. "They were killed by Voldemort! I remember now!"

"Yes, but there is a little more to their story than that. You see, Lily and James used to be like you two, always arguing. Actually, the arguing was a bit one-sided, since James kept on asking Lily out, but generally always arguing. Then, in seventh year, the Headmaster then made them Head Girl and Head Boy."

"At first, the staff thought Dumbledore had finally lost his marbles, and that Hogwarts would be burned down within a week, but to our surprise, James matured and started to become friends with Lily."

"Professor, are you implying that I'm immature?" I asked indignantly.

"Of course not, Malfoy," snapped McGonagall. "I am only telling you to at the VERY least, forget your differences and work together in peace."

Weasley scowled. "Didn't Lily and James get married and have Uncle Harry?"

I felt like puking. There was no way I was going to marry Weasley and have… eeew….

McGonagall buried her face into her hands, probably a first for her.

"I am not asking you to marry each other, just work together peacefully. Go back to the feast now, I'm sure you're hungry."

Scowling and looking a little green, Weasley and I left the Headmistress' office.

After we walked in silence for some time, Weasley suddenly said, "Let's get this straight, Malfoy, I am never going to marry you or do anything REMOTELY friendly with you. Got it?"

I rolled my eyes. "Are you kidding me? I'd rather snog Potter than you."

"Glad we've got something settled," she said haughtily before marching off to the Great Hall.

Girls.

She looks cute when she's angry.

Shut up.

A/N: This one's a bit short, but I couldn't resist putting Lily and James into the story.

And also maybe because I kind of needed a bridge to transition to the next chapter.

Well, anyway, please tell me your thoughts via review!

ALSO: Sorry for the VERY late update!
