I was sitting on Astoria and Draco's bed as Astoria showed me dress after dress that she thought would be beautiful on me. She was holding out two floor length dresses one was a strapless turquoise Issa and the other was a one shoulder blush and crystal Rachel Gilbert. I looked closely at the Gilbert dress. It was made of silk-chiffon. The crystals made it look so beautiful. It was perfect.
"That's it," I told Astoria. With a flutter of her wand the rest of the dresses were put back in her closet that was the size of my bedroom in Godric's Hallow.
She smiled at me, "That was the one I thought you'd pick. Here put it on and I'll fit it." I did as I was told and she cast a spell making the dress fit to my body the way it was supposed to. She pursed her lips before entering her closet. I followed her into the back corner where I saw an enormous jewelry box. She rummaged through it. "Lily, come look," she whispered. I looked and saw a crap load of diamond bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earring. "Pick whatever you want to wear this evening." I picked up a diamond necklace and a tennis bracelet that had clasps to match the marquise shaped diamond earrings I was wearing. I opened a black velvet ring box to reveal the most beautiful diamond ring I had ever seen, it had a diamond that was about twenty karats set on a ring that was so tiny and encrusted with small diamonds. I gasped. "Ah, yes, ostentatious isn't it? It was Draco's grandmother's engagement ring on the Malfoy side," she whispered touching the ring. "Try it on. I think it would look beautiful with that gown. Just don't put it on your left hand. Cissy might have a heart attack and I really don't want to deal with Lucius flying off the handle about his wife dying while he's stuck in Azkaban," she chuckled to herself.
I put the ring on. It looked beautiful, but was too much for the dress. I think it would have been too much to wear with anything, so I just put it back in its box. I knew the gala started at seven, but I wasn't sure what time it was at the moment and I still had to put on make-up and do my hair. "What time is it, Astoria?" I asked walking out of the closet.
"People will be getting here in about ten minutes," she told me as she flattened down her dark blue floor length dress. Before turning her wand on me and muttered a few spells that put my red hair into an amazing bun on the back of my head, and gave me simple but elegantly beautiful make up. She did she same to herself, but her hair and make-up looked completely different from my own. With her dark eye make-up and curly caramel colored hair half pulled back in a feather shaped hair clip. "Lily, What song did you teach Scorpius how to waltz to?" She asked walking towards the bedroom door.
Weird question. I was obsessed with Disney at the time like every other ten year old girl, "Uh, Can I Have This Dance from High School Musical Three," I told her giggling remembering how he glared at me every time I pulled him into my ballet studio and made him dance until my feet hurt.
"Shall we? Malfoy men aren't known for being patient," she smirked as we walked to the top of the white marble staircase that led into the entry hall I couldn't help but be a little nervous.
My eyes met those storm grey ones the moment I rounded the last curve leading to the ground floor of the house. If my arm hadn't been wrapped around Astoria's I would've ran headlong into his arms. "You look beautiful," he whispered in my ear kissing the side of my head.
I looked him up and down noticing that we matched perfectly with his light grey suit and pale pink tie. "You don't look so bad yourself," I told him trying so hard not to smirk knowing he hadn't picked out his clothes.
Before he had time to respond we had to go the small library off from the ballroom – apparently they were very popular in the early fourteen hundreds – where the flooing fireplace was. I met wizarding diplomats I haven't already met and almost every pure-blood witch and wizard in the UK. I was about to ask Scorpius what he had gotten me into when Katie came flying out of the fireplace and into my arms, "Lily!" she whispered, "Thank God I hate coming to these bloody things. You get to meet my parents, finally," She beamed at me, and I realized how beautiful she looked in her white Valentino silk-organza gown. She looked like a tiny Astoria. It was mind boggling. I looked over her shoulder and saw a man and a woman come out of the fireplace. The woman was obviously Astoria's older sister. "Scorpius, you've grown so much," Daphne Goyle said hugging her nephew.
He laughed, "Yes that tends to happen," he mumbled as she turned to hug me "Uncle Greg," he said nodding at his uncle. I could feel the slight tension between the two. I knew he blamed Scorpius slightly for the fact that Katie was dating my brother when in actuality it was probably my fault seeing as I met Katie on the train, and introduced her to Al.
"Mum, Dad," Katie said looking at her parents and I was so confused why she was so small when they were so tall. "I'd like you to meet my best friend, Scorpius' girlfriend, and Albus' sister, Lily," she told them beaming up at her parents.
Daphne beamed down at me and gave me another hug – she liked little Alby – before going to talk to her sister while her father gave me a tight smiled and walked to go talk to some man standing in a corner of the room.
The next person out of the floo was Narcissa Malfoy looking tall and dignified in her deep green dress. I shrank into Scorpius' side not wanting to tell her yet. Where did all of my bravery from yesterday go? Oh yeah I wasn't under her scrutinizing gaze. "Lily, come on, love. We have to tell her," he whispered. I looked up into his silver eyes. I calmed down a lot and took a deep breath before squaring my shoulder and walked over to Narcissa.
She looked at me then at Scorpius then at our hands clasped together, "Scorpius, dear, is this a joke?" she said in an indignant tone. I sighed and she turned her gaze to me. I didn't shrink back like I thought I would, but rather lifted my nose higher and making my eyes look uninterested showing her my lovely pure-blood act that I perfected years ago spending time with Slytherins for Rose and Katie's sake. "She puts on a good act, but I'm sure deep down she's just like the rest of the Weasleys even if she looks like her other grandmother," she said looking straight at me.
I snorted. She had no clue what she was talking about. I wasn't loud like my family. I was quiet and reserved, and knew how to be a snobby pure-blood when I had to be. "Grandmother, with all due respect Lily isn't like her family at all. If you would get over her parentage you would like her a lot," Scorpius told the elderly women in a quiet voice so those around us couldn't hear.
"I highly doubt she has any qualities that would make her suitable to join this family," She retorted.
"Actually, mother," Draco said setting his hand on my shoulder, "Scorpius is right. She's a beautifully trained ballroom dancer and spends as much time as possible doing ballet. She has also been taught proper etiquette from a very young, is an amazing witch, not just for her age, but for anyone. You would like her if you allowed yourself to," Draco told his mother before smiling down at me and kissing me on the check.
"We'll talk about this later, Draco," she told him before walking away to go talk to some of the older women in the room.
A little while later I was standing in the ballroom watching people dance while I munched on whatever was on my plate when the song I taught Scorpius how to dance came on. There weren't many people on the floor at the moment so I took the chance to make Scorpius dance.
Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine,
And let the music be your guide.
We became lost in each other's arms within seconds and danced around the floor with no hesitation. Our bodies knew each other so well as we spun around the floor it took no effort, every spin and every step seemed to be choreographed by our bodies. I collapsed into his arms after it was over. I heard people clapping and looked around to see everyone in the room, even Narcissa, clapping. I looked up at Scorpius before he cradled my face in hands kissing me deeply, but not vulgarly seeing as world officials were in the room.
When I pulled back I laughed thinking about the absurdity of what just happened. "These people have probably seen some of the best dancers in the world and their clapping because we did a waltz?" Wow. People were easily entertained.
Scor's grey eyes seemed to sparkle. "Of course, we're like Fred and Ginger," he smiled pulling me close to him for another dance. We danced for a while not really paying attention to time. It felt good just to be in his arms. I wish I never had to leave them. Scor finally looked around and saw people were filing out. "Come on, I'll take you up to the room you're staying in," he said pulling me towards the door that led to the kitchen where the small spiral staircase was that led to the third floor where the family bedrooms were.
"Why can't I just sleep in your room like I always do?" I asked. I always slept in his room. Even when I was younger and we weren't together I always ended up wrapped in his arms before falling asleep. I didn't like the idea of sleeping alone in this house. It scared me to death even if it looked brighter and cozier than before people had still died in this house.
"People usually stay after these things seeing as it's nearly three in the morning, and this is an early end. My room is connected to yours. You don't have to sleep in there, but you do have to use that room's door to enter and leave. We wouldn't want people to think the Potter girl is a floozy now would we?" he said with a smirk. Oh he was going to get it.
"Oh, we all know I'm a perfect angel while you on the other hand just want to get in my knickers, Mister Malfoy," I giggled.
We walk in a comfortable silence until we walked into a room with blue walls that looked like they were made of silk with a huge four poster bed in the middle of the room. I'm sure there was more furniture, but all I saw was the bed. I turned to look at Scorpius who was looking at the bed with a lustful look in his eyes. I knew what he was thinking. I touched his arm. He spun around pinning me to the wall and kissing me so passionately. I brace myself on his shoulders before jumping on to him wrapping my legs around his waist without breaking the kiss. It was a lust and passion filled kiss that made my head swim and made me go weak in the knees. His hands were trailing up and down my back leaving fire in their wake. I pushed his jacket over is shoulders as he walked towards the bed. When is legs hit the bed he broke the kiss for the first time in almost fifteen minutes. I looked up at his and could see the love, lust, and animal passion I felt reflecting back into his eyes. "Lily," he whispered in a husky voice, "we can't."
I stood up unzipping my dress letting it fall to my feet. His eyes roamed over my body before he groaned in defeat and reattached his lips to mine. I pushed him on to the bed before straddling his hip to unbutton his shirt I pulled it off before crawling up his chest kissing my way up his neck he groaned felling my tongue on his skin. When I got to his ear I whispered, "Really? Can we not, because I'm pretty sure we're about to." I let my hand travel down his side until I reached his pocket and pulled his wand out handing it to him. He looked up at me quirking one of his eyebrows. "We need a silencing charm, and I need you to get a contraceptive potion out of your mum's study," I explained breathing heavily.
He nodded making the room sound proof before saying, "Accio antikoncepcia," and handing me the vial of bright red liquid. It looked eerily like blood, but when I downed it the taste of it was of cherries. I laughed at the irony of the potion. I mean, cherries, really? What the hell? I looked down at my half naked man. He really was sexy with his perfectly chiseled pale, pale abs and large, but not overly large arm muscles that rolled at he reached behind me to unhook my bra. He looked at my slightly large chest before letting his eyes meet mine. "You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, Lily," He whispered in complete honesty.
I knew he truly did believe what he told me, and he made me feel like the most beautiful thing in the world every day of my life. I moaned at the feel of his hands on my chest. I rolled us over so he was on top of me before pulling his face down to mine. Somewhere in between all of the kissing and touching the rest of our clothes ended up in a pile on the floor.
"Are you sure?" Scorpius asked positioning himself above me. He looked so godddamn sexy in that moment with the way his almost sliver hair fell around his face as he looked down at me with his striking grey eyes filled with such love and lust it's a wonder he didn't burst.
"Yes, the pain won't last long, Scorpius. I love you. I want to show you just how much," I whispered before pulling him down to me. I buried my head in his neck as he entered me. When he met the barrier preventing him from entering me completely he thrust in to me effectively making me scream into his shoulder.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, love. I love you so much, Lily," he whispered running his hands through my hair. He murmured sweet nothings to me while we waited for the pain to ease. When it was almost gone I raked my nails down his back and pushed my hips up to meet his urging him forward. We quickly found a pace we liked, speeding up before we hit our climaxes together.
"Oh my God," I whispered after I had my breathing under control, "That was fucking amazing."
He laughed breathlessly laying his head on my stomach and played with my bellybutton ring, "Yes, yes it was," he whispered. I ran my hand through his hair and eventually fell asleep after making love with Scorpius two more times.
I woke up and smiled remembering what happened last night. I rolled over and looked up to see Scorpius smiling down at me. "Good morning," I said running my hands through his hair.
"Yes it is a very good morning," he smirked before turning serious, "We're going to need to talk about this, you know," he said running his hand down my side.
He was right. This changed things. . . A lot. I took a deep breath before sitting up pulling the sheet we ended up under with me. "Okay. . . Uh, how do we even start a conversation about what we did? All I'm saying is I don't regret what we did for one second. I've loved you four seven years, Scorpius. It was going to happen eventually. So what if I'm fifteen? Do I act like I'm fifteen? We're made for each other, and we proved that to ourselves and each other last night. It was perfect, it was mind blowing, and it was everything and then some. Don't tell me you regret it because I can see in your eyes that you don't," I told him. All in one breathe. Before I was half way done one of those beautiful breath taking smiles he so rarely gave was on his face. "Why are you smiling at me like that? Stop. It's kind of creeping me out."
He laughed pulling me to his chest, "Sorry, I thought you were going to hit me or hex me or something. Not give me a speech on loving me and not regretting what we did. I'm just really happy, Lils. It really was mind blowing. We're going to have to talk about how this changes things, but it's almost noon. We need to get down stairs before my mother comes looking for us and finds us like this," he told me kissing my forehead.
I sighed. I really didn't want to get up, but I knew I had to. It was getting late. "I'm going to take a shower, and get dressed before I head down stairs. I'll see you in a little bit," I told Scor before kissing him and walking to the bathroom. I swayed my hips just a little bit too much and heard Scor groan before I walked into the bathroom.
After I was dressed in a navy polo, white linen short shorts, and a pair of navy blue TOMS I went down stairs to be greeted by Twinkle "Good morning miss, is there anything Twinkle can get you?" asked the little house in her bright blue toga looking dress asked.
"Um, I'd like a blueberry Muffin, please and thank you," I said smiling down at her before jumping on to the kitchen island that was the size of my bed. I sat there eating my muffin until I heard the sound of heels clicking on marble floors. I looked up to see a regal look Narcissa Malfoy standing right inside the kitchen staring at me. "Hello, Mrs. Malfoy," I said smiling up at the beautiful old woman.
"Ah, yes, if it isn't the girl who is after the Malfoy family fortune," she sneered.
Was she delusional? I don't need her money. My family has all the Potter and Black money. I really don't need Malfoy money. "With all due respect I don't need your money. My trust fund is large enough to keep a small country afloat for several generations," I told her. Okay, it was more than a slight exaggeration, but it was big enough that I would never have to worry about money.
Her laugh sent chills up my spine, "Then why my grandson? I'm sure there are lesser bloodlines you could ruin with your half-blood filth."
She did not just insult my blood. Stupid bitch. "My blood is perfectly fine, Narcissa. You don't seem to have a problem with Teddy's blood, and he's half werewolf, for Merlin's sake!" I retorted. She was not getting out of this one.
"Ted is a Black. Even if his mother married a werewolf my nephew is a Black. It's completely different," she said in an indignant tone.
"Is it? Andromeda was a blood-traitor. How can it be different? She was disowned," I informed her as if she didn't know. She was not going to be able to make a good argument now. I had her trapped. Her augment would just be stupid now.
"But you're a Potter. For as long as history shows our two families never inter mixed. Why should I let it start now?" she asked walking up to stand directly in front of where I was sitting on the island.
"Because he loves me and I love him," I whispered. Before straightening my spine and looking her directly in her cold blue eyes, "He's wonderful, and loves me so much it's hard for me to comprehend most of the time. I wonder how I was lucky enough to find him. He's everything to me, and I don't know how I could possibly live without him. I know you don't condone this courtship, but it's not your life. It's his," I told her sincerely.
"You're just children. You can't possibly understand what love is. You may think you know what love is, but you really haven't a clue. If you loved him you would let him be with a pureblood," She told me.
My blood was perfectly fine! What is up with this bitch? "Yes, because in modern society incest is completely normal. I understand in the Black family fucking your cousin is an acceptable, but Scorpius isn't like you. He loves me for me, and doesn't care about my half-blood blood-traitor status. He loves me, so just back off," I told her jumping off the counter and walking away.
I smiled thinking of my god-grandfather, grandparents, and their friends praying to God that they were looking down on me right now.
I wasn't really paying attention and ran into someone on my way out of the house. "Whoa, Lils watch out where you're going," Albus said smirking down at me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked. He wasn't here last night, so why was he here now?
"Mum and dad are fighting again," he whispered looking away from me, but not before I saw the pain in his eyes. "Gwenog wants mum to play in this match with some other retired players, and dad doesn't want her to, because she could get hurt. They were screaming at each other when I woke up, so I just came here. "
"Okay, well, have you seen a man who's about six feet tall with platinum blonde hair, alabaster skin, and bright silver eyes?" I asked smirking at Albus trying to make him smile . . . it worked.
He cracked a smile and said, "Yeah, I saw a bloke matching that description out by the pool. He said he was waiting for a young woman who was about five feet tall with bright blue eye, and long dark curly red hair."
I laughed, "Thanks, Al," I said walking towards the back door. "Hey, Albus," I called turning around to look at my brother he needed to hear someone loved him. I could tell by the look in his eyes.
He turned around, and cocked his head to the side, "Yeah?"
"I love you," I said before walking outside. I walked over to where Scorpius sat by the pool with his feet dangling in the water. "Hey, honey," I said sitting down beside him letting my feet drop into the water.
"Hey, have you talked to Albus?"
"Yeah, he's really upset. It seems like all they've been doing for the past month is just fighting and having make-up sex. It's ridiculous they're acting like children. Mum's all pissed because dad has to go on the mission to China to meet with the Chinese Minister about everything that's going on, and dad doesn't want mum doing this thing with Gwenog," I sighed laying my head in his lap looking at his parents across from us talking to Katie's mum and dad.
"I know, Al told me. Is anything else bothering you?"
"James is going to kill us, you know. When he finds out he and Teddy are going to rip us limb from limb. Al's going to be angry, and not speak to us for a while. Rose will probably commit suicide. The girls will be happy I joined the club of non-virgins, and Fred, Hugo and Louis will never let us live it down," I sighed sitting up, so I could look him in the eyes.
"Why would Rose commit suicide? Are we the reason she's been spending all summer with her Slytherin friends? Lily, why did you not tell me? She's your cousin! If this is hurting her you should have talked to her about!" he said looking at me like I was a child.
"Don't you think I did? I tried to explain everything to her, but she hates me because I'm beautiful, smart, the center of the family, in Gryffindor, have you, and have everything else she wants. Don't look at me like that. I love her, but I love you more. You chose me over her, Scorpius, whether your or I realized it that's what happened, and now she hates me for it. So, please, just stop looking at me like that. She hates me. Do you know what the worst part is? I don't regret being your girlfriend even though I lost Rose."
"Oh. Okay. . . I guess?" Scor said looking at me kind of confused.
I really didn't want to talk about this so I turned to straddle his lap. "So, head boy, were you planning on taking advantage of any of the innocent prefects?" I asked giving him one of my signature smirks.
"Well, I had this one sexy as hell fifth year Gryffindor prefect in mind, but I heard she's not so innocent anymore," he whispered in my ear before he began kissing down my neck.
It took some work for me not to get lost in his touch, "Scorpius, not now. Your parents, aunt, and uncle can see. We can't snog right here," I whispered pulling away and sitting beside him.
"You're no fun," he pouted as I got up taking off my clothes revealing at very small white bikini. "Y'know I've always heard you shouldn't wear white bathing suits because they're see-through when they get wet. Can we test out the theory?" he asked hopefully as he pulled off his shirt, and picked me up bridal style hanging me over the water.
"Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy! You better not! So help me God if you drop me in the," I ranted until he dropped me in the water. When I came up I was sputtering, and glaring playfully at my boyfriend. He was such a prat sometimes. "I hate you," to told him glaring at him.
He had the nerve to smirk at me, "That's not what you were saying last night actually I believe what you were saying was "Oh God! Scorpius I love you! Fuck me harder!' but who knows. I could be delusional." When he saw the expression that crossed my face he instantly looked guilty before getting in with me and wrapping his arms around me. I was upset with him for saying that . . . even if it was true . . . but I knew he would fix it in about fifteen seconds. "I'm sorry, baby, I shouldn't have said that, but I was just pointing out that you do love me," he said kissing my forehead.
"Of course I love you, you stupid prat! And did I really sound that unsexy when I said that?" I asked sheepishly wrapping my arms around his neck.
"No it was really sexy like a moan-whisper-scream," murmured running his hands along my sides.
He was about to say something else when Draco interrupted our private moment, "I hate to burst your bubble, but we're having a family meeting. I expect to see both of you in the dining room in about five minutes."
"Cock block," Scor whispered so only we could hear before pulling me out of the pool and casting a drying charm handing me my clothes.
"This better be good or I'm going to be angry." I said as he was pulling me into the house.
He chuckled, "They never have family meetings, so I'm sure it's going to be really good."
I sat down in the chair next to Scor while everyone else piled in including Al who was led by Katie.
Draco looked around the table to make sure everyone is there before he and Astoria stood up, "Okay, so for the past seven years Albus has practically been a member of our family, and is Lily. Obvious neither of you are going anywhere, and that's why you're both here," he explained before turning to Astoria.
"I'm pregnant!" she practically screamed. "We just found out a couple of days ago. Scor, honey, stop looking like you just saw a ghost. How do you think you go here?" she said beaming down at her son.
"Mum, I really don't want to think about your sex life, but I'm going to have a baby brother or sister?" he asked looking like he was about to be sick, and burst from happiness and at the same time.
"Yes, and we would like Lily and Albus be this baby's Godparents," she said.
Before she could get anything else out Narcissa stood up, "I object. You really cannot expect this relationship to work out that well as to have her and her brother be this baby's Godparents," she said glaring at her son and daughter-in-law.
Draco laughed, "You really are delusional, mother. You've heard the prophecy, and you saw them last night. What more proof do you need? They're made for each other. Neither you or I can change that, so just get used to it."
I beamed up at Draco before turning to Astoria, "Of course. Al and I would love to. Wouldn't we, Albus," I told her looking over at Albus who looked extremely happy.
"Absolutely, Tori," I told her getting up and hugging her.
"Okay, we can talk about this later," Draco said, "but we need to speak with Lily and Scorpius. You can all leave now," he smiled at everyone as they left. "So you two are having sex?"
Well just come out and ask why don't you. "Yes," I said looking them both levelly in the eye.
"Scorpius, don't you think she's a bit young?" Draco asked looking reproachfully at his son.
"You're kidding, right? How old was Pansy when you slept with her?" he asked his father in a slightly snappy tone.
"That was different. It was just sex. I didn't really have any true feelings for her."
"Ohh, so, if it was meaningless sex you wouldn't say anything?"
"Scorpius, we had this conversation, and you were on his side, remember? We had this fight, and we've had the meaningless sex fight when I walked in on you and McKenna last year," I said running my hand down his arm.
"Lily, it's different. McKenna was a way to try and forget I was in love with my best friend's sister. They all were."
"I know, but it still makes them all meaningless sex toys that you used to forget me, and I'm going have to deal with the whole he-is-just-using-you card. You were just like James having sex with whomever just to get over someone everyone is telling you that you should not be with even if your heart is telling you that you should. So just put on your big boy panties and listen to what your parents have to say."
He sighed and turned to his parents, "Continue."
"We don't really have anything to say, anymore. It's clear that Lily was a consenting participant, and that's what matters. Oh! Lily! Here's a book it has a contraceptive potion in it that's not hard to brew," she said handing me a book. "You need to get ready. We're leaving for Paris in twenty minutes."
I was pushed out the room and up the stairs where I get dressed then spent the next few days in Paris shopping with Astoria before I had to go to back to school.
A/N: I will put a picture of the dress Lily wore up on my profile, because I know some people aren't familiar with that kind of fashion. And yes sadly I do love the song they danced to, plus I thought it embodied everything they're going through. I know I wasn't planning on doing sex anytime soon, but it just happened. There will be a talk about their actions in the next chapter. And I'm starting to babble in my Author's notes. Thank you for reading. It shouldn't be this long next time between updates. I'm so sorry it took so long.
