Phase 2: Make Powerful Allies

A loud spell nearly hit Scorpius Malfoy in his head.

"What do you mean you don't know?" James yelled causing Scorpius to flinch.

"Well," Scorpius said, cowering-he never was brave, "I asked Jasmine to tell me, and Jasmine either wouldn't tell me or didn't know. Probably the latter since my cousin would tell me anything."

James's eyes flared and he sent another curse at Scorpius.

"Al!" Scorpius yelled as he ducked several curses, all of which would've left him in the Hospital Wing for a long time.

Albus calmly stepped between James and Scorpius. "James, attacking will get you nowhere, especially since Lily's a Slytherin and Scorpius is the only Slytherin willing to talk to us."

James growled. "Fine."

"You Gryffindors have a fiery temper." Scorpius noted as he got up from the ground.

Albus held James back, "Nah, just those of us with Weasley blood."

"Which makes up Gryffindor house, no offense."

Albus smirked. "Offense taken." He joked, still holding back James, "Now leave, before one of us lions kills you."

Lily found herself rather intelligent. She made sure Scorpius Malfoy knew she existed as a dating piece-she'd make him interested later-, she snuck out of her room without her fighting dorm mates finding out, and she did all of this without letting her overprotective brothers find out…or so she thought.

Lily snuck a seat next to a tired looking Scorpius Malfoy.

"I'm tired." He moaned and Lily waited for the longest half second hoping he would say 'of Catherine.' But he didn't, so she took the conversation.

"Why." She asked, not really caring.

"James is a good hexer." Scorpius said and he had Lily's full attention.

"MY BROTHER HEXED YOU!" Lily shouted.

"Yes, now keep it down." He said as he glanced around to see how many people heard.

"Which one and why?" Lily snipped at him and Scorpius found himself scared.

"James because I didn't know who-" Scorpius cut himself off realizing he was going to suffer for even telling James that Lily liked someone.

"Didn't know what?" Lily asked.

Scorpius flinched as Lily's anger grew. "I didn't know who you were fancying."

Lily's eyes enraged, bloomed into curiosity, flamed, and then calmed. "You told my brothers I fancy someone?"

Scorpius nodded in amazement at how she was acting.

"Excuse me for a second." Lily said as she walked away.

"Explain yourselves." Lily said as she pulled her two brothers into an empty classroom.

"What's there to explain?" Albus immediately asked.

"Scorpius Malfoy is tired and says that James hexed him because he didn't know who I fancy." Lily spat.

"Then why am I in here?" Albus asked.

"Because where the dove is the hawk cannot be far behind." Lily quoted.

"Are you calling me a hawk?" Albus asked.

"Are you calling me a freaking dove?" James asked.

Lily dug her head into her heads.

"So," James said slinging his arm over her shoulder, "Who do you like?"

Lily rolled her eyes. "James, if I told everyone, I wouldn't have a secret."

Lily was walking to her Astronomy classroom where she's left one of her books. Her brothers had taken Care of Magical Creatures and Muggle Studies, so Lily took Astronomy and Divination just to be different.

Lily felt a pair of hands pull her into a more secluded part of the hallway. The owner of the hands chuckled.

"Albus Severus Potter, why did you grab me?" She asked.

"Told you." He said with a smirk.

"Told me what?"

"That you like Scorpius."

"Yeah well apparently you, Jasmine, and Alice all knew before me. I don't know how Alice knew thou-"

"I told her." Albus said.

Lily turned to her brother, "What? Why?"

"I already told you what, and why. Well, this school is getting too boring. I mean, when I found out that Scorpius abandoned his kiss, shag, dump method, school became even more boring. Because, like you, I had to figure out myself."

"You started all of this so that you could be entertained?"

Albus nodded. "It worked too, because you and I are ambitious, cunning, and fiery as hell; and you have always fancied Scorpius."

"Why are you telling me this?" Lily asked.

"To tell you that I'll help you get Scorpius, it'll be fun." Albus said.

Lily rolled her eyes. "Do you have a plan?"

Albus nodded a bit and told her his plan.
