"Oh?" Scorpius asked, a smirk entering his face.

Lily rolled her eyes at him. "I don't know, maybe."

"Who was missing?" Scorpius had a mischevious gleam in his eyes. Lily leaned back casually.

"I think it was the Bloody Baron, but who could tell with the crowd," Lily responded.

He looked at her suspiciously. "The Bloody Baron, eh? Come on, Lily, who was really missing?"

"You were missing, obviously, but that's not who I was talking about." She smiled innocently at him.

He rolled his eyes at her. "Is that the truth?"

"Nope," she said, popping the P. Her expression turned serious. "Do you really think I'm stupid, Scorpius?"

He sighed. "No, I was just upset. And I'mflarry." He grumbled the last part.

"You're flarry?" she asked.

"I'msurry," he grumbled again.

"Sorry? I didn't catch that..."

"I'm sorry!" he practically screamed then covered his mouth. Lily grinned at him.

"In that case, I'm sorry I slapped you."

He rubbed his cheek like it still hurt. "You almost ruined my beautiful face," Scorpius complained.

Lily punched him in the arm playfully.

"So what's Liam been up to lately?" Scorpius asked.

Her face darkened a little. "We aren't together anymore. He cheated on me. I saw him kissing some brunette in the halls yesterday."

"Oh." He looked embarrassed. "I'm sorry..."

She shrugged.

"You don't look very upset... Did you cry at all?" he asked her.

"No, I don't cry over things like that," she replied.

"You know you're stronger than you look, Potter," he told her.

She pretended to be flattered. "Why thank you, Malfoy!"

They turned to each other, their eyes meeting. Lily leaned in a little, Scorpius doing the same. Their lips just barely brushed each others' when someone from across the field screeched, "What are you doing out of bed?"

They quickly jumped back from each other. Professor Filch grabbed both of them by their robes and hauled them inside Hogwarts. "Detention, both of you for the next three Saturdays!"

"You what?" Clara almost choked on her breakfast.

Lily hissed at her to be quiet. "We almost kissed. If I was even half awake I wouldn't have done that. I was just tired and wasn't really aware of what I was doing!"

Clara rolled her eyes. "Uh-huh... That's about as true as Christian Beck showering."

"That really was an image I didn't need," Lily mumbled.

"Whatever, the point is you like him! And now you guys have detention together and-" Lily tried to tune out her friend's rambling about how cute a couple they would be.

She tried to focus mainlly on her food which was very hard considering she could feel someone's eyes on her.

Hastily, she stood up and walked out of the Great Hall-before anyone could ask her questions- to the library.

Apparently someone decided to follow her though. Lily turned around on her heel to face Scorpius Malfoy. "What?" she snapped.

"You know what," he snapped back.

She narrowed her eyes. "No, I don't, please explain it for me," she said truthfully.

His cheeks flushed. "Yesterday... On the Quidditch field..." He cleared his throat.

"Oh, you mean the almost kiss?" Her voice was calm, not the least bit embarrassed. "Yeah, I was half asleep when it happened, and if I'd been fully aware it wouldn't have happened. Sorry if it got your hopes up..."

Scorpius sneered at her. "That's not what I wanted to talk about."

"Then what, Scorpius?"

He looked around nervously. "Uh... I wanted to talk about..."

Lily smirked. "Thought so." She brushed past him out of the room. At the door, she turned around to face him. "See you in detention." Then continued out of the library.

Lily sat down in a chair in front of the fire.

"You are so mean!" Clara said to her.

Lily looked up, surprised. "Why am I so mean?"

"Because of what you said to Malfoy!"

"Were you eavesdropping on us?" Lily sat up straighter.

"What? No, of course not. I-I, okay fine I was eavesdropping. You're still mean though!" Clara crossed her arms.

Lily sank back into her chair again. "Who cares of I am? It's the truth and there's no reason to get anyone's hopes up."

"Don't pull that with me. I'm your best friend! Since I am, tell me the truth: Do you have feelings for Malfoy?"

Lily looked around the common room to make sure no one could hear them, then leaned in close to Clara whispering fiercely, "I don't know and I don't want to find out. Our dads were never the best of friends, and I don't think they would appreciate it if we got involved. Besides, I'm only 14. I shouldn't be thinking about who I like and don't like."

"Oh, come on, Lily, everyone's known that you guys have liked each other, for like forever!" Clara exclaimed.

"I doubt anyone thinks that, Clara. We barely even talk to each other," Lily said simply.

Clara raised an eyebrow at her. "Oh really?" She tapped on a fifth year that was walking by. "Hey, Tim, who does Scorpius like?"

"Lily, why?" Tim said.

"And who does Lily like?" Clara asked.

"Scorpius," he answered, not notcing she was sitting right there.

"Thank you," Clara said dismissevely. Tim walked off.

Lily glared. "I don't care what everyone else says. It's not true. I don't like Scorpius. I don't care if you believe me or not but it's the truth." Lily, still glaring at her friend, stormed up to the girls' dormitories without a word to anyone else for the rest of the night.
