Chapter Four: Happy Just The Way Things Are

LILLY'S POV

It was a Saturday and Lilly was worried. She was standing by the lake thinking about if the army was cut out or the job of putting down the rebels or not. There had been rumors that the ministry had heard that they were making preparations to attack Hogwarts, she could see why they would, aside from being a tactical outpost from which they could base their entire operation from taking Hogwarts would stop the flow of men into the army and would make the ministry bargain for its return.

Scorpius walked up behind her and put his arms around her.

"You know my dad said that he would always use to come here when he was frustrated," he said

"Yes I do believe you've told me that," she replied

"I still can't believe that your Dad gave mine a job. If he hadn't we'd be living out of the bins," he said quietly

"You're so humble," she said "and that is why I love you," she turned around and kissed him softly

Albus crept up behind them "So how are we all today," he said loudly.

Lilly jumped. She did hate her brother as much as any sister hates their brother but he was always there to catch her and protect her even when she didn't know it. Once when she was in 2nd year he got into a fight when some 5th years had insulted me they were older then he was. He and he got two black eyes and a broken rib and when the teachers questioned Lilly she didn't know a thing.

"God dam it Al, why do you have to ruin such a romantic moment," Lilly said.

"Because my little sister was snogging my best friend and why not you were distracted," he put on a cheesy smile like he always does.

"You know what Al you look a bit hot and stuffy," Scorpius said with a smile on his face as wide as his ears.

Lilly realized what he was saying "Maybe my big brother would like a dip in the lake to cool down," I taunted.

Scorpius tackled Al to the ground picked him up (with some magical help) and threw him into the lake

Lilly burst out laughing and Al growled "I'll kill you two," he shouted

"Yeah sure you will Al." Lilly chuckled "sure you will,"

Lilly was happy. She was surrounded by Friends and Family. She didn't want things to change… no-one did.
