Recap:

"Albus put in a request to play us first. Hufflepuff doesn't care who they play." He laughed, "They lose to everyone anyway."

Can This Work?

Chapter 2.

Why did I let him get to me? He's just a prat, a big ol' dumb prat, she thought as she walked away from the pitch hand and hand with Tom.

Albus passed Lily. "Did you happen to see Malfoy at the pitch?" He asked but she kept on walking. It was twenty minutes into the break between classes and they had another forty minutes to kill. Albus entered the large pitch and saw Scorpius flying around making sharp turns and fast dives. "Want to help me practice a bit? We play Ravenclaw on Saturday."

Albus was the keeper and the captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team. He had the playing tactics of Harry. He was offered the seeker spot but he preferred to play the keeper. He grabbed the quaffle and mounted his broom. "Try to get some goals. I'll block."

Scorpius caught the quaffle as Albus took his place high above the ground in front of the three gold rings. He threw the quaffle as hard as he could but Albus blocked it. "That's all you got?" Albus was trying to rile him up. "There is a reason I am a seeker not a chaser." He laughed as he was tossed the quaffle again.

They practiced for about ten minutes then the sun was covered with clouds and the rain weighted down their practice robes. They ran from the pitch to the common room. The fire was lit and felt good on the wet skin of the two boys. They peeled off the outer most layer of wet clothing and put them near the fire to dry.

Some first year students walked into the common room and saw Albus and Scorpius in their boxers and undershirts. The girls giggled and rushed to their dorms. While the boys glared with jealousy and left. "Were we like that when we were that age? The whole jealous of older students and such." Scorpius asked. Albus laughed. "We were more concerned with Quidditch than jealousy. Anyway, If I remember correctly, you almost got your arse kicked because there was a set of fourth year girls who liked you in like your second year." They laughed and gathered their semi-dry clothing.

They ended up being late to Potions. The potions class for the year six students was more advanced than any other year. "Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy, I expect you both to be on time from now on." A tall slender female with dark short hair stood in the front of the dark dungeon room. Albus and Scorpius sat next to Rose, whose face was as red as her hair with anger. "Why does Professor Markins hate us so much?" Albus asked to attempt to ignore the scowl from Rose.

Lily, unlike her brother, was on time for Charms. Actually she was a little early. Tom was starting to tell his story of how he helped clear the bathroom of some sort of nasty critter and Lily made an excuse to leave. "'Ello Professor Lovegood." She said to her long time family friend. Professor Lovegood had long blue robes with sparkling stars on it sporadically. She wore radish earings and a cork necklace like she did in her old pictures back at home of the good old days.

"Oh, Hello Lily. You don't need to be so formal when we aren't really in class. After all we are like family." Lily placed her things in the front row and sat near Luna. "Luna, can I ask you something?" She nodded. "What is your opinion of Tom Willows?"

Luna tapped her podium and bit her the inside of her bottom lip. "He is an intelligent student. He has a reputation with some of my sixth year students." Lily cocked her eyebrow. She wanted her to elaborate. "One of my better students dated him last year. He was only concerned with securing his position as Head Boy. She came to me, like you are now, and asked me for advice. I'm sure that he's changed." She giggled as some students came into the class. That thought stuck with her.

Class commenced and the room was mixed with Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students. Lily's roommates, Indigo, Francesca, and Laura, sat next to her and began to gossip. They usually talked about Albus. He was fancied by many of the girls. Lily hated it. She hated it because the girls found that her brother looked like the famous Harry Potter, her father. They talked about his eyes and his dark messy hair. They often mentioned his Quidditch skills and how smart he was.

Their giggles were hushed as Professor Lovegood raised her wand. "Settle down students." Professor Lovegood opened class with a review of charms they learned last year and a little anecdotal proof that charms comes in handy. "When I was your age I was fighting one of the darkest wizards of all wizarding history along with his army of Death Eaters. I learned defensive charms from the great Harry Potter," Lily sank into her chair, which she did often when her father was mentioned because attention instantly reverted to her. "Hopefully you'll never need these charms but it's good to know them. Better safe then sore, or whatever muggles say." She emitted a bright smile.

Potions was unbearable. Professor Markins was a bitter woman. She wore her hair short and it framed her face. Her eyes were frequently peering through the black locks of hair when she was flustered. Her son was in his fifth year. When Scorpius approached him about the dislike his mother had for him he simply said, "Haven't a clue. Probably something dealing with your dad."

The embarrassment Lily faced in charms and the hatred Scorpius felt in Potions caused the two to go to dinner with dismal faces. Lily sat near her brother and Scorpius. Tom didn't like it very much and sat with his friends instead. Hugo came to Lily's side and asked her what had her down. "Sometimes I wish my parents weren't so intimately involved with the war. People find out that my father, mother, aunt and uncle were all at the school when it all happened and they just go nuts. It's annoying." She dug into a pile of potatoes. Hugo left bumping into James, filling him in on Lily's angst.

Their day only had two classes so after dinner students had a few hours of some free time to roam around. Tom insisted that Lily and him would walk and get to know each other more. They walked along a dark corridor when Tom began to talk about his classes from that morning and afternoon.

Scorpius came walking around the corner, heading towards the library, and spotted the happy couple. Lily's face lit up when she saw him. A possible escape, if Scorpius played it correctly. "Oh Tom! There you are! A bunch of Hufflepuff first years is being bombarded as we speak with dung bombs from Slytherin students. You better run fast and help!"

Tom ran like a rubber chicken. Lily laughed and ran the other way with Scorpius. "You seem happy with Tom." Scorpius was laughing as the stopped winded all the way down to the dungeon corridor.

"Ah, it's okay. He can be a self-centered git but you get used to it when he's letting you use the prefect bath." She giggled walking with Scorpius. "Like you could talk anyway, you have a hyena for a girlfriend."

"She's not a hyena. Her laugh is more like a cackling witch. She is, after all, a pure blood witch." They both were laughing. "Albus thinks I have it good cause Prue likes the broom closet and he never gets any." Lily's ears were getting scarlet. "Are you okay?" He pinched her ear. "Rose gets red ears when she gets in a mood." She swatted at his hand, "I'm fine. Continue what you were saying."

The red in her ears faded away as he talked about all the annoying idiosyncrasies of Prudence. Then the annoying hyena cackle came from down the corridor. "Oh, Scorpipoo! Did you hear about the Halloween Masquerade?" She ran into his arms. Scorpius shot a look at Lily and she rolled her eyes. "Honey, will you please take me?" Prudence pouted. He nodded and planted a kiss on her lips. Her friends and her sped off talking about what they would wear to the masquerade that was over a month away.

"I'll see you later, Scorpipoo. Thanks for saving me." She walked in the other direction clenching her fists. "Hey wait." Scorpius went after her. "What's your deal?"

"My deal? You're the one that kissed me and acted like it never happened." Her ears were scarlet again. Scorpius stepped closer to her. "I didn't act like it didn't happen. You ignored me and I figured you didn't want to talk about it."

"Just go away." She went to push him away and he grabbed her wrist. "I love you." The tears that were building up in her eyes broke out like dam water rushing down her cheek. "Don't say that!" He put his hand on her lower back and pulled her close to him. His eyes locked on hers as he brushed the bangs from her face. "Why not? I'm just telling you how I feel. I can't get you out of my min-" Tom turned the corner and saw the two.

He walked over to the two and pulled Lily free and punched Scorpius in the jaw. "Scorpius!" Lily screamed. "Tom, what the hell were you thinking?" Lily ran to Scorpius as he rubbed his jaw. "Let's go, Lily." Tom grabbed her hand and walked away. She looked back at Scorpius, who stood alone with a sore jaw.
