CHAPTER FIVE

"Shit" Lily said and stopped as her, Jeal and Dani were walking down the hall towards the Slytherin Commons room after eating dinner. Both Jeal and Dani stopped and turned.

"what'? Dani asked. Lily shook her head.

"Nothing really, its just that I forgot my football bag. You two go ahead I'll catch up with you too soon"

"Okay," and both girls started to walk away and Lily went another way. Retracing her steps that Scorpius had dragged her though earlier, Lily stopped at the hall where her stuff should have been, but where gone. She was pretty sure she had her stuff when she had come here with Scorpius, and she was sure she had left them here because after leaving him, she had just gone into the great hall and Jeal and Dani met up with her there. So the only explanation was that someone had picked it up on their way and probably took it to the Lost and Found room or Scorpius himself had picked it up. But where did he leave it? Deciding that he probably picked it up and took it to the Slytherin common room, Lily headed that way. She was about to turn the corner which led to the Scorpius common room when someone called out her name. Turning towards where the voice came from, Lily found Mr. Jaeger walking towards her. He was wearing denim pants with a navy blue polo shirt. He stopped in front of her.

"Guten Abend Miss Potter"

"Guten Abend Mr. Jaeger"

"Call me Travis please, well outside of classroom at leasts. I don't like being called Mr. Jaeger so much, makes me feel a lot older then I really am"

"I will try. Do you have a purpose of talking to me or do you just want an idle chat" he chuckled.

"Good God Lily, I can call you Lily right," he didn't wait for her answer "way to make me feel like I was some sort of annoyance to you. But yes I did have a , as you put it, a purpose of talking to you. You see your house is putting on a Lake Party tomorrow and the Perfects, the Quidditch captain have all talked to the headmistress asking permissions for the event and she only required for one professor to be supervising the whole time, or at least taking shifts with another. The potions professor Parkinson and I are taking turns tomorrow. But I will probably be there most of the time and I will ask of you that during my time off, you would so kindly accept my invitation of talking a walk around with me. Not sure were, but I bet we can find a – "

"Scorpius, why haven't you told me of the Lake Party tomorrow"? Both Lily and Jaeger turned around to find Maddie linking arms with Scorpius and looking up at him as Scorpius looked at Lily. Looking from Lily to Jaeger, he looked at Maddie. Did he hear what Jaeger had asked her? Lily wondered.

"Because, it was supposed to be a secret and then I was going to tell everybody tonight, thats why"and she answered with an oh.

"So what do you think" Jaeger asked Lily turning her attention to him. Jaeger was good looking and everything, but for one thing he was her teacher and she could not get involved with such and he was at least twenty years old, she was only fifteen so to some it might not be a huge age gap, but to her at this age it was. And also there as something about him that she didn't like, but she didn't know what. Looking at him and then at Scorpius who was glaring at Jaeger, she decided to accept just to get Scorpius more mad and because he deserved it.

"Okay, I guess I can do that. Well Gute Nacht Travis" and with that she walked away not seeing Scorpius reaction as she said good night to Jaeger using his first name.

"Maddie go on ahead I have to talk to my buddy Travishere" and she did as she was told.

"So what do you think Scorpius, fine piece Lily is, well so is that blond of yours but dark hair has always attracted me more personally" said Travis as he looked as Scorpius. Scorpius ignored his rude comet making Lily sound like a piece of art.

"What are you going to do tomorrow with her"? Scorpius asked.

"You know the usual. Go off make out some, maybe even more and then be with her as a friends with benefit kind of thing, get what I want and when I get bored, move on" and at the thought of Lily being used by this bastard for his own personal pleasure, Scorpius couldn't stand it.

"You fucking bastard" and he threw a punch at Travis and hit in the jaw, throwing him backward. But the bastard caught himself in time and threw his whole body into Scorpius hitting him the stomach. Scorpius rolled over but soon got up in time to dodge Travis's punch. They hit each other and dodged each others attacks. Before they knew it, people had appeared around them and where cheering and a person had tried to get between them unsuccessful. Then suddenly Scorpius was caught from behind and dragged backwards by the armpits while struggling to get out of the persons grip. He looked around to find Professor Neville holding g him back and Professor Flitwick levitating Travis in the air upside down. Scorpius stopped struggling to find that the headmistress McGongal was already there. The students made room for her and and looked at the boys.

"You two into my office, NOW" and Scorpius started to walk towards her office with Neville still keeping his hold on him and Travis walking as well with a wand in his back. In the office, both the boys sat down and the professors stayed with the headmistress in her seat and the past headmasters looking down at them.

"What in heavens happened out there, why were the two of you fighting"? McGongal asked them both. Not wanting to admit why the fight had started, both sat down quietly. One because he didn't want his intentions of what he was to do to a girl clear, and the other not wanting to admit he liked that girl and was jealous. After a few minutes of silence, McGongal spoke.

"Well I see you two wont speak. It wont matter anyway because you Malfoy have a week of detention with Neville starting tomorrow and he will arrange the whole thing, and that Lake party is done with" about to speak but getting cut off from her, she continue "and you Jaeger will have to leave this school the moment your father returns from being sick. And you will only speak to the students in class and about their class. I don't' want to have you fighting with students. That is all both of you may retire to your sleeping chambers this minute".

"But..." Scorpius said.

"Yes Mr. Malfoy, is there something you would like to admit"

"No,"

"Then"?

"All I'm asking is that you don't cancel the Lake Party"

"And why should I not"?

"Because many people know of it and were looking forward to it. All I'm saying is that you can give me the punishment of not joining but let the others go. Its the last day before its gets warm to do anything fun. And I will take up more of whatever punishment you see fit for the Lake Party to happened". She though for a moment.

"Very well, I will let the party continue" he smiled "only... if you find another teacher willing to supervise. That is all you have to do and another week of detention. Is that clear"?

"Yes ma'am".

"Okay, off with you too. Go look for your other supervisor and Jaeger, to your chamber, do not wander around the hall, do not join the party tomorrow, and clean off your face its all bloody"

"Yes ma'am" Jaeger said. Both students were getting up when Neville spoke.

"Headmistress McGongal, I would ask if I may be the supervisor for the lake party tomorrow"? It was quite for a moment.

"Yes Professor Neville, if you wish" and he smile before he led Scorpius out. Once they were clear of Jaeger and Flitwick and were walking towards the Slytherin commons room, Scorpius asked him why he volunteered for supervisor.

"Why? Well I mainly did it because you sacrificed your time for them. You don't get to join them tomorrow and you also have another week of detention. And also other reasons that I will not tell you" he said smiling his cheeks even rounder.

"Well, thank you Professor. When shall I start my detention."?

"Well you can come in Sunday since tomorrow I will be at the Lake, but I will see if another teacher needs help and then I will inform you" and with that Neville left Scorpius to keep on walking on his own.

"And I was like 'oh your so sweet' but I really hated it because..." Maddie looked at Scorpius as he entered the common room. He left eye was slightly bruised and his lips had blood on them. Everyone looked at Scorpius and his face, and his cloths that were part bloodied. Running up him, Maddie stopped him walking towards the washroom and grabbed his face. He had cuts in his lips, his fist had blood on them.

"What happened Scorpius"?

"Nothing" and he shrugged her hands off and walking around her. Potter had come out of the girls washroom when he reached the boys washroom and they both looked at each other. Her face was shocked. He turned around and went inside the boys washroom. Looking around, Potter found the Malfoy girls and sat with them.

Sitting down with her friends again waiting for Scorpius to come out, Maddie looked at Potter and felt even more wrath for the girl. It was even more clear that Scorpius liked her. Even though he would and will not tell her why he got in a the fight, Maddie knew that Potter had been the caused of the fight.

Scorpius had never gotten in a fight, but somehow he was provoked and he fought. Maddie remembered to earlier when she saw that Mr. Jaeger guy asking Potter out and the way Scorpius had looked at them was clear enough to say that he didn't like what was happening in front of him. He was jealous. And he had fought with that guy, of that she was sure. The boys washroom opened and everyone who saw Scorpius come in looked. He came out with his face clean and his eye bruised with his lips swollen and blood still on his shirt. Tom White and Amy Falcon went up to him.

"Scorpius, what happened"?

"Don't worry, the Lake Party is still on" Maddie heard him saying to those two.

"But..."

"like I said don't worry" he walked over to the middle of the commons room. "Slytherin's, listen to me, tomorrow starting at twelve or so, there is going to be a lake party at the south side of the school. Everyone is invited and you can bring food and refreshments for everybody. There will be fun activities for all" the crowd cheered loudly and went on to talk about it. He went back to White and Falcon.

"You two will be in charge of it. I have been given detention and am forbidden from joining you guys. That was the punishments the headmistress and I made for the party to go on" and with that he walked away from them and to the boys rooms.

Looking over at Potter who was still looking at the way he gone, Maddie vowed to get to the bottom of this whole case and win Scorpius, no matter how because like the saying said "all fairs in love and war" she whispered.

A man was in a window looking down below wearing just the shadows of the room, contemplating about what to do about his own shattered pride and broken nose.

"Damn you Scorpius Malfoy, I don't know what got into you but I don't care. I want Lily and I will get her" said Travis as he stood in his room looking down at the party going on below and Lily hitting a football with her friends. Lily was a beautiful girl and Travis knew she would me much funner then other girls he had previously and he was looking forward to it. He thought that Malfoy would find it funny what would happened to Lily, but he had taken a different course and on top of that, he had broken Travis's nose and he was not happy. He was going to pay, Travis thought, and big time. All he had to figure out was where it would hurt Malfoy the most and it seemed he already found that person.

Stretching, Scorpius got out of his bed and looked at the clock on the wall. It was about 12 and about this time everybody would be down at the lake having fun. All but him, but at least Lily was safe. Going to the washroom Scorpius took a good 30 minute hot shower and came out in just a towel on his waist since no one would be in the common room. But he was wrong. The minute he got out he saw Lily walking down the stairs from the girls dormitory wearing a lime green bathing suit top with what seemed like a see through black scarf on her waist around the lime green bathing suit bottom. He gulped, small though. When he though she was beautiful in her regular school cloths, she was absolutely sexy in a bathing suit.

She was looking down as she walked downstairs, but then she looked up and slowly walked the rest of the way looking at him. Stopping at the bottom of the stairs, she looked down.

"How are you"? She asked him. He stood there motionless and quite for a while. "I mean, how is your eye from what I saw yesterday it was all bruised but it seems better today".

"Its good, I can see from my eye good" she looked at his stomach.

"And your body, you seem to have a few bruises there as well"?

"Good I didn't even notice them" she nodded.

"Well, I'll see you later have fun in detention" and with that she walked towards the commons rooms exit, all the while Scorpius looking at the way her hips swung.

Lily could only stare of him, and also trying not to make a fool of herself. But bloody hell if anyone could not. He was standing in front of her with only a towel covering him, and only covering his midriff to his knees. She knew he was big and muscular, not overly thou, but he had broad shoulders and his biceps were bigger then what she had seen on most guys, he had a six pack and he just had a magnificent body and even more so with the remaining water running down his body, his hair dripping onto the ground and his body. She wanted to go up to him and touch him and see if his body was real, see if his body was as strong as it looked. But she couldn't. Then reality hit back when she noticed the bruises on his stomach, on his face and his lips still swollen.

His face was a little different, but not so much. His left eye was slightly closed and bruised, his nose appeared fine and his lips swollen. He had a strong manly jaw, not as a pointy chin as his father, nice strong straight nose and his hair which usually was wavy and shaggy was wavy and wet making his blond hair a bit darker.. She heard that the guy he fought with had gotten a bloody nose, and also a broken nose. She heard that the guy he fought with was Jaeger, what she wanted to know was why but she was to shy to ask and thought that it did not involve her, but she felt that it did, but how. It could not have been because she accepted to take a walk with Jaeger, it had to be something else. But she didn't care overall of the walk or Jaeger, because of the fight, he had not been allowed to join the party and she would not have to take that walk with him.

When she noticed that she was staring after inquiring about his well being, she said goodbye to him and left. Once outside the commons room, Lily leaned against the wall and felt out of breath. Remembering why she had gone in there in the first place, Lily looked at the sun block lotion. It was actually pretty hot outside and she hated burning, even a little, and Dani go the worst because she was pale. Getting outside, the girls put on sun block and then it was their turn to play beach volleyball. And it was against Maddie and two of their friends. Maddie and her friends played volleyball and they were good, so they had that advantage, but Lily, Jeal and Dani were not without any volleyball skills of their own. They games were pretty close but Maddie and her friends won all three games.

"Take that Potter" Maddie would say more than once and other stuff to Lily. Lily wondered why Maddie was just aiming at her most of the time in the game and verbally. Lily just shrugged.

"Psst, like I care that you beat in beach volleyball" Lily would reply when Maddie ask how Lily was doing since she lost. And Maddie would not like that. Closing the game, Maddie whispered so only Lily could hear.

"You'll care about losing when you lose him" and she walked away. Lily was sure that Maddie meant Scorpius as "him", and wondered why Maddie would think she even had a chance with him when he disliked her. But then he tolerated her and probably took all that tolerance as like. Sitting down, the girls ate lunch, played all kinds of games with the other Slytherin and before they knew it was dinner and it was a lot chiller and they all put on warm cloths. Making a small fire, they roasted mushroom and ate dinner that the kitchen elf's made them and watched the stars come out one by one and naming the ones they knew. Dani pointed at one.

"See that one Lily"? She would trace the stars she was looking at "that constellation is Scorpius". And Lily would nod her head, looking at the stars and connecting them to make Scorpius. In a way she hoped that Scorpius had been able to come.

She wanted to sit next to him, to feel his warmth, his arms around her, him pointing at starts like Dani and telling her what they were, her feeling comfortable and safe in his arms and smiling at each other. When she thought of this, she realized that she had more then just a crush on Scorpius. She really liked him. She really liked him and wanted to be with him, to be then just his sisters friends. She wanted to be his, and he hers, she wanted to be so much more then just another friend to him. And she would because she knew he liked her more then just a friend, he liked her and they would be together.

"Lily look at that" Jeal then said pointing at another stars in the sky "That one right there is Draco" and then it hit Lily. Maybe Scorpius had been rejecting her because of his family, because of her family. But those were obstacles she was willing to defeat in order to be with him because even if he might not be worth it, it was worth a risk to find out how happy you can be with someone. All she had to do was to make him see it.

Okay, so ending not my favorite, but it will have to do since I don't know how to end it. For now I leave you here and see what my faithful readers have to say about this update. Thank you all and see you next chapter.
