Author's Note: Takes place during Lily's fourth year (Albus's sixth and James's seventh)

Chapter 1- A Promise of Slytherins

Four years had passed since Lily Potter and Hugo Weasley were sorted into Slytherin. The event had shocked a great deal of the wizarding world. Several reporters had been deluging Lily and Hugo with a profusion of questions, which caused Hugo to hate the media, and Lily to grow a fondness for the limelight, the center of attention. One could say that she had a craving for it, that's what her friend Jasmine thought when she found Lily begging a first year for gossip.

"Lily, back away from Jack, he's just a first year, he doesn't know who heartthrob Scorpius Malfoy is dating." Jasmine told her friend who was holding a blonde boy by his Hufflepuff robes.

Lily quickly let the boy go, he ran off quickly. "Thanks Jasmine." Lily said. "I've been a little overboard lately, it's just, he gets a new mistress every few days, and this time, I don't know who it is. And it's DRIVING ME INSANE."

Jasmine giggled. "I never would have guessed." She sarcastically said.

Lily stuck her tongue out. "I'm normally good at this. I mean, I was the person who figured out that he was nailing Isabelle a week ago. So why can't I figure it out this time?" Lily complained as the two walked down to the Great Hall.

Jasmine smirked. "Because I doubt he'll be shagging his next mistress in a broom closet, you'd think he'll have learned his lesson."

"I hope not." Lily said causing Jasmine to stop walking and stare at her, "Otherwise I'm out of some pretty good gossip."

Jasmine sighed. "It'll be out soon enough, Scorpius always shows his girl off on like their third day. Then on their fifth day, he finds a new girl he likes, and then on their sixth day, he breaks up with her. Then he waits one day before starting the process all over. Honestly, he's too predictable, I mean, he broke up with Isabelle three days ago, so tomorrow, he'll be flaunting his new mistress."

"But I want to know beforehand!" Lily pouted.

"Well you're going to have to deal with the fact that you are Harry Potter's daughter, and Quidditch stars James and Albus Potter's little sister, you're spoiled enough. You can't always get what you want." Jasmine explained to her friend.

"That's it!" Lily exclaimed.

"What?" Jasmine queried.

"I'm Al's little sister, and Al is Scorpius's best friend, I bet you he would know!" Lily explained.

"That'll never work. Your Al's annoying little sister that he protects from boys."

"Nah, he's cool to me, trust me."

"Fine, go try." Jasmine said unconvinced.

Lily sped off to the Great Hall and ran to the Gryffindor table.

"Al, I need your help." Lily said, out of breath.

"I won't tell you who Scorpius is dating." Albus said.

"A. he doesn't date; he shags girls for a week, B. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE." Lily begged making her look pathetic for a Slytherin.

"Lily, I will not tell you who Scorpius is with because you would do something to break it off so that you could date him, because I can tell you like him."

"I don't like Scorpius like that." Lily hissed. "I'm just desperate for gossip."

"Then why are you only concerned with who Scorpius is dating?" Albus smirked.

"I don't fancy him though!" Lily said a little louder.

"Keep telling yourself that." Albus smirked again.

"You should've been a Slytherin." Lily said.

Albus smirked and shrugged. "I was supposed to be."

Lily looked at her brother in awe. "You told dad that the hat was trying to put you in Ravenclaw!"

"Cunningness truly is my skill little sis." Albus said looking around and spotting his older brother coming in. "Now scram before James comes over here and I tell him that you like Scorpius. And you know that true or not, James will still believe it." Albus said.

"Fine." Lily said she ran back to the Slytherin table and sat next to Alice and across from Scorpius.

"Hey Lils." Scorpius said to her as though any guy would talk to his best friend's little sister.

"Hey Scorpius," Lily began smirking.

"Don't bother Lily, he won't even tell me who he's dating." Alice said.

"But I'm his best friend's little sister." Lily countered.

"Sorry Lils, I don't tell anyone, not even Al." Scorpius said.

Lily frowned a bit; her brother had been lying to here. "Damn that boy should've been Slytherin."

"Duh," Scorpius and Alice said.

Lily smiled a bit. "Could you pretty please tell me?" Lily said using her puppy dog eyes.

"Damn, not those puppy dog eyes." Scorpius said, the puppy dog eyes Lily used always got him to tell her or do anything. "Fine," He gave in, "I'm dating Alice's little sister Catherine."

Alice was just staring at Scorpius with the anger of the Abbott family. Lily giggled a bit on how well she was doing at figuring it out.

"No telling anyone." Scorpius said.

"Why would I tell anyone?" Lily smirked a true Slytherin smirk.

"Please Lily, don't. Catherine doesn't want anyone to know."

"Know what? Are you sleeping with her?" Alice asked.

"No, we aren't like that." Scorpius said.

"Then why keep it a secret?" Lily and Alice asked.

"Because, as I'm sure at least Lily's done, everyone would be counting down how long we have left together before I break up with her and find, how should I say it, a new mistress." He said glaring at Lily who innocently smiled.

"Well, do you plan on having a long relationship with her?" Alice asked.

Scorpius nonchalantly shrugged. "She won't sleep with me, which adds a new appeal, most of them sleep with me, so they just lose their appeal, but something about Catherine, I don't know, she just captivates me." Scorpius said.

"You're desperate to sleep with her." Alice said, annoyed.

"Kind of," Scorpius admitted which earned a slap from Alice, "But only because she refuses me, no one has, it's kind of shocking. Please don't hit me." Scorpius begged which stopped Alice from hitting him.

"Fine." Alice said. "But break her heart, and I break you, and don't think I won't, I'm the daughter of the famous,"

"Neville Longbottom, yeah, we know." Lily and Scorpius exasperatedly said.

Alice rolled her eyes. "Still, I could hex either of you into oblivion."

"Why me?!" Lily asked in a high-pitched voice.

Alice didn't respond.

"What?" Lily asked.

"Nothing." Alice replied.

"It isn't nothing."

"I'm going to get out of here and avoid a fight between two of Hogwarts' most-feared duelists." Scorpius said as he scampered out of the Great Hall.

"TRAITOR." Lily and Alice yelled at him as he left.

"But really, Alice, why?" Lily asked.

Alice rolled her eyes. "Because you agree with him and do what he wants because we all know that you fancy him, except maybe him and brother, James." Alice explained.

"I DO NOT!" Lily exclaimed.

"Yes you do; everyone can tell."

"Everyone?" Lily asked.

"Fine, me, Jasmine, and Albus." Alice said.

"Well you all are wrong." Lily said.

"Come with me." Alice said as she pulled Lily up from her breakfast.

"Why?" Lily asked as she tried to struggle from Alice's grasp.

"Just because." Alice tightened her grip on Lily and pulled her out of the Great Hall and into a secluded corner of the library.

"Lily," Alice said, "Do you like hanging out with Scorpius?"

"Yes." Lily answered confused.

"Do you get anxious when the thought of hanging out with him comes up?"

"Yes."

"Does your stomach feel weird when you're around him?"

"Yes."

"Do you feel like ripping out the heads of the girls he dates?"

"Yes, but everyone does, their annoying sluts, only guys like them."

"Not the point Lils, now I could ask you more questions, but I don't need to. You fancy him." Alice said.

"DO NOT!" Lily yelled childishly.

"Yes you do, now deal with it."

"No I don't." Lily wailed as she dropped to the floor.

"Are you okay?" Alice asked.

"No." Lily replied.

"Why?"

"Damn, I fancy Scorpius, and really badly." Lily said.

Alice laughed. "That may be why you were so desperate to figure out who he was dating," Alice realized something, "And now, you can't go after him."

"And why not?" Lily asked.

"Because my sister's dating him, so no stealing guys from her." Alice said.

Lily looked away from Alice.

Alice pulled Lily's eyes into hers. "Promise?" She asked.

Using the arm held behind her back, Lily crossed her fingers.

"Promise." She innocently said.
