"So, why aren't you two talking?" Scorpius asked.

Lily fumbled with her fingers. "It's complicated," she finally responded. "I don't even really understand it. All I know is that there's only one way to be best friends again." She knew it was true, but she didn't like her idea.

"And what's that?"

"You need to ask her out," Lily told him.

Scorpius looked at her like she was crazy. "Excuse me?"

Lily didn't respond. She couldn't bring herself to say it again. She didn't know why she felt like she did. It was sort of a mutual feeling.

"Are you serious?" he asked.

"Guess I am," she muttered. Scorpius gave her a skeptical look then walked over to Clara, who was sitting on the other side of the common room. Lily laid back in the arm chair she was sitting in. For some reason she felt a hallow feeling inside.

Lily sneaked a glance in their direction. She saw Clara smiling widly.

A few moments later Scorpius made his way back to her. "Happy?" he asked.

"Elated," she mumbled. Lily stood up. "Er... Later, Scorpius."

He looked at her, confused. "Where you going?"

"My dorm." She ran up quickly into the girls' dormitories before he could respond. Lily sat on her bed, pulled the tapestries shut, and hugged her pillow to her chest. She didn't cry, she just sat there like that.

Scorpius wondered why Lily ran off like that. He did what she told him to do. It was like she was hoping he'd do the opposite...

He didn't want to ask Clara out. Yeah, she was a pretty good friend, but he'd only ever liked one person. So what he'd gone out with a gazillion girls before, none of them mattered to him. His real priority was to get her to notice him. So far so, bad.

He actually felt bad for asking her out. Once she found out that Lily had told him too Clara would be angrier at Lily than before.

He really didn't understand girls.

Hogsmeade was lonely for Lily. Clara and Lily had started talking again, but she and Scorpius had gone of for their first "date".

"Hey, Lily," someone said. She turned her head to see Taylor Thomas keeping pace with her.

"Oh, hi, Taylor." Lily fidgeted nervously. They actually did talk a lot... But not since what she told Clara. An idea came to her. "You want to maybe hang out? Together?" she added nervously.

"Sure," he replied nonchanantly. Lily smiled, while drumming her fingers against her thigh. They spent the rest of the day together talking and laughing.

At the end of the day they were sitting in a booth in the Three Broomsticks. "Okay, so I know I dated your best friend, but would it be totally wrong of me to maybe ask you out. If your answers yes I said nothing."

Lily laughed. "No, it would not be totally wrong. And if that was your way of asking me out then my answer is yes. If that wasn't you asking me out then I said nothing." She smirked at his amused expressing.

"Lily Potter. Saracastic and dangerous." Taylor smiled at her. "We should probably get back now."

She nodded. "Yeah." Once up on the steps he kissed her cheek. Her cheeks heated but she smiled. "I had fun, Taylor. See you later?"

"Definitely."

Lily could've sworn she saw a platinum blond head watching them from a distance.

I realize this is really short but this is just the DRAMATIC chapter. I mean, what kind of girl only dates one boy before meeting "the one". Not that she's met the one or anything... Lol, sorry, not my best chapter. Next one will be longer, I swear. And I can ALMOST guarantee that they will kiss in the next chapter!
