Author Note: So, my dear best friend just yelled at me for just ending the last chapter, and she threatened to send me to Puerto Rico….WHAT IS WITH THE THRETS? Oh well here ya go:) This chapter is in Scorpius's POV

I heard yelling down the hallway and I quickly ran to see what was wrong.

"Scorpius? As in my COUSIN Scorpius? Lily, you are only fourteen! You don't know about love at all!" Professor Lupin yelled at Lily. I know eavesdropping was wrong but I needed to hear what would happen.

"You fell in love with Victoire when you were thirteen! And now you're married to her! So don't you lecture me about being too young for love!" Lily screamed back.

"Yes I did fall in love with Victoire but she wasn't in love with me until she was sixteen! It's different for boys than it is for girls. Girls that fall in love to early get hurt. And I don't want to you to be hurt. No matter what happens in the whole world you will always be my little sister and I can't see you hurt." Teddy lowered his voice to soothing. I thought for a while. I could never hurt someone. Especially Lily.

"Teddy, he won't hurt me. And it doesn't matter because he doesn't feel the same." I heard Lily sit down and then I heard crying. "Teddy that is what hurts the most. Knowing that you love someone but they will never feel the same." I listened for another five minutes blaming myself for making Lily cry. It was my fault. Lily was crying because of my own stupidity. But I can't be in love with her. I quickly walked away not looking back. I mentally beat myself up for hurting her.

"Hey Scorpius, wait up!" Albus yelled from somewhere behind me.

"Hey man, what's up?" I asked. I sounded miserable.

"You sound miserable." He said.

"Well I just walked past the DADA room and Lily was in there with Teddy, and she was crying. Because….of…..me." I said. I looked up and saw Albus looking sad.

"What did she say?" Al wasn't mad. In fact he sounded as miserable as me.

"That it hurts that I don't feel the same about her. But she doesn't understand that I CAN'T feel the same. I'd be betraying my best friend if I did." I said back.

"How do you really feel about her? If I wasn't your best friend?" Albus said in all seriousness.

"Honestly?"

"100% honesty." Albus stared me straight in the eye.

"I think that I would be in love with her." The words were out before I could take them back.

"Go for her before she's taken." Albus said and gave me a playful punch in my arm.

"So you're not mad?" This all seemed to go to be real.

"Of course not, why would I be mad! You're my best friend and you love my sister. If you guys get together it will be like having a brother I can actually stand." Albus and James always joked about hating each other. That reminded me. James is still a problem that we have to face.

"What the hell is James going to say?" I asked Albus.

"Don't worry about him. I'll take care of it." Albus gave me a reassuring pat on the shoulder as we got into the potions class room.

The day passed really slowly and I looked for Lily everywhere I went. Even just a glimpse of stunning red hair froze me in place, but it usually turned out to be a cousin. Only once did I get a true glimpse of the beauty. And it was a good view. She was walking with Posy on one side and Ronnie on the other, the girls seemed to be joking with Lily so she would smile for once. I was lucky enough to see her burst out laughing and then fall to the ground with the girls tickling her. I smiled at how happy she looked. As if I had never hurt her.

"Come on Scorpius! We don't want to be late on the first day!" Albus yelled at me. He was already down the stair case we had been going down.

"Sorry, I just saw something." I said. I felt the blood rush to my cheeks.

"Was it something that had a name that starts with a Li and ends with a ly?" Albus joked.

"Oh shut up before I hit you!" I yelled and then play tackled him.

"You keep that up and I won't talk you up in front of Lily!" Albus said pushing me off of him.

"Like I need your help!" Just then I was pulled behind a corner and was being pinned against the wall by a slutty looking Paulina. "Paulina!" I gasped.

"Hi Scorpius. Have you been avoiding me?" She whispered in a seductive voice.

"Umm." Was all I could say as she reached one hand down towards my rather private area.

"You know I'll have to punish you for that." She replied kissing my neck.

"Paulina bugger off." I said.

"Now, why would I do that?" She said. She had a very innocent look in her eye. I heard an intake of breath from my side.

"Lily!" I yelled. And mustered enough strength to push Paulina off of me.

'You'll regret this Scorpius Malfoy! You hear me?" Paulina screamed as I ran after Lily.

"Lily! Lily listen!" I grabbed her arm and turned her around I saw on her face to pained expression and tears were rolling down her face.

"I don't need to know what was going on Scorpius. You obviously like her. I could never compete." Lily said the tears were falling faster.

"No Lily. Listen, I was walking down the hall with your brother and she attacked me." I said. I hated her crying because of me, again. Why am I such a dumb bloke?

"I find that hard to believe. I shouldn't have listened to you when you explained everything to me when we were on the train! Just don't talk to me ever again Scorpius." Lily tried to pull away but my hold on her arm was solid. I turned her around and without thinking about it without planning it, I kissed her. At first she was surprised but then after a second she kissed me back.

"I love you Lily Luna Potter and nothing or no one will EVER change that." I said to Lily as I pulled her into my arms and everything finally felt right in the universe.
