CHAPTER FOURTEEN

NOVEMBER 10 Friday

Lily walked down to th Slytherin rooms common rooms with Jeal and both silent. Dani had a perfects meeting and would join them for dinner later. Lily sighed, looking at the ground as she walked. One month and not a word from Scorpius other then the necessary ones like the ones for DADA class. What to do really. But then really, its not like he ever really talked to her but now when he did, it was in a cold bored toned. When he guided her in her spell movements, it was in a hard firm hold instead of the soft one. When he looked at her, he always looked at everything but her, avoiding her eyes. Again she sighed remembering her next training session with him.

"Hey Jeal" Lily said once Jeal plopped down on the sofa next to Mike who was playing a chess game with Billy Clark. Jeal looked up at her.

"Yeah, whats up" looking back at the game.

"I have a practice session today, so see you at dinner" Lily told her. Jeal nodded.

"Okay then, good luck" Jeal said as Lily walked away. Yeah, Lily thought, she might need it for what she would do today. She had decided that she had enough of his cold silence and would rather have him know what she felt towards him and she wanted to know what he felt towards her, even if it broke her heart, even if he never talked to her at all, or touched or anything. The last two months, even with their ups and downs, they had gotten to know each other and Lily liked him even more then ever and not just for his looks or his forbidden fruit stance. Forbidden because he was a Malfoy, not friends of her family, not enemies, but did not ever get along. Destined enemies since the beginning and never seeming to end. And if he felt the same towards her, then maybe he had the same issues and backed off. Going inside the tower in which they always met for practice, Lily found the room empty and went in, sat on bench, leaned her side against the wall and waited for him looking out the window, watching the sky turn darker by the minute. Lily was in there for almost one hour when she decided that he had forgotten and would not come.

"Fuck him" Lily whispered to the window and got up, turned around fast in anger only to bump into someone. A pair of hands went around her shoulders and Lily looked up to find Scorpius one eye brow raised and Lily was really tempted to pull it down, but held herself, instead more fascinated by his very close proximity, her forehead eye lever to his eyes and both their lips separated by only a few inches. He smirked and Lily wanted to smile as his usual self coming back. But she was angry. He was late, she was mad and hungry. She pushed him away,

"What the hell Malfoy"? Lily said. She was mad not only because he was late, but because her courage had disappeared as soon as she knew he wasn't going to come and now she would not be able to say anything to him. To confess her feeling to him.

"What Potter"? Scorpius said, his smile gone, his eyebrow level with the other, his face cold again, his eyes looking past her, as if invisible. Lily lowered her eyes, then looked outside the window.

"Nothing it's just that I hate waiting for people. You're late thats all" Lily said, wishing she could really tell him the truth, but knowing that she could not.

"Really thats all. Well then I must apologize for being late. I didn't mean to I just had something holding be up" Scorpius said and without looking at him, Lily knew he was sincere.

"Its okay, but you could of said something before if you knew you where going to be held up" Lily told him.

"Yeah" he agreed. They were silent for a while and Lily was curious as to what had held him up.

"Can you tell me what was holding you up"? Lily asked, holding her breath wondering if he would tell her. Maybe it was a private thing and he wouldn't want to say anything and he say to bugger off.

"Well, I guess I can since you'll find out tomorrow" Scorpius aid and Lily was even more curious. What was it? She thought. He continued. "There going to be this new girl tomorrow's. She's from Durmstrang and she arrives tomorrow's. I don't know the details, but I do know that she's Jaeger's step sister and has come to England to live with her mother and shes going to come here for her seventh year. I'm to help her out for the first week or so" Scorpius said as he took a seat next to Lily, only staring at opposite directions.

"That must be hard" Lily said, and Scorpius nodded. "Moving here in your last year of school, leaving your friends behind I don't think I could that. I would hate not seeing either Jeal or Dani for a long time".

"Yes but she must have her own reason to do so, no one would just get up and leave just because your mother asked you too" and once again they were quite, caught up in their own thought of the new girl. Lily thought of something.

"Wait, so why do you have to do this, your not a perfect or head boy, so why"? Lily asked him, wondering why McGongal would ask him this of him. "Dani's a perfect, she could be the guide, couldn't she" Lily asked, sounding a little jealous to her own ears, but Scorpius didn't catch it. He shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know, but she said since I'm Quidditch captain I have some sort of authority over the house of Slytherin" Scorpius said and Lily caught something again.

"Slytherin? Wait how do they know she's going to be in Slytherin, it could be any house" Lily said and Scorpius gave a small smile.

"Apparently she already choose to be in the house of Slytherin since most of her family has been in it and she is pretty sure she be placed in that house, so she just said what she wanted and McGongal let her" Scorpius told Lily and she understood. The hat usually gave you what you wanted if you though you belonged in there. With Lily, she had never thought she be in Slytherin, just as a joke, but she knew she didn't want to be in Gryffindor and the hat complied. And she was given Slytherin, but she did not regret the hats decision. While thinking more about the hat and the way it placed students in houses, Lily felt and heard her stomach growl and she felt her face heat up. She looked up to find Scorpius with a small cocky smile on his lips and his eyes twinkling.

"Shall we go to dinner"? He said as he stood up and held out his hand towards her. Lily smiled and accepted his gesture, he grabbed her hand with his warm hand and gently pulled her up brining her to his side very close, his warm body heat through his cloths she felt through her own cloths. He let go of her hand suddenly and Lily felt his heat disappear and then he stepped away feeling even colder then she had felt that day. Together, they walked to the Great hall with two feet of space between them and each sat with their friends.

"Hey Lil's how was practice"? Asked Jeal.

"We didn't practice Scorpius had a last minute thing and had no time to tell me about it" Lily said. Dani nodded.

"Oh yeah" Dani said "McGongal asked him to her office just when I was about to enter the Perfects meeting".

"Why"? Jeal asked, and Dani asked, but neither Jeal nor Dani bothered asking Lily if she knew. As if they thought that Scorpius would not tell her. But then they were right since they had seen the way he has treated her the last month with much indifference. Lily looked around as she ate and met Maddie's eyes. Her eyes had dark circles under them, her face a little more paler then usual, but she had that same mean face as always when she saw Lily. Lily looked away, feeling sadness and pity for her. She looked like she hadn't slept much and miserable. Why? Was it because Scorpius wouldn't talk to her or did she regret what she had done. But it was probably the latter since Maddie still gave Lily those 'I hate you' looks. Lily kept on eating and chatting with Jeal and Dani when she looked at Scorpius. He was laughing a patting Tom Whites on his back and punching his shoulder. Lily kept looking at him when he suddenly turned his head and caught her staring at him. Like five years ago, when she caught him staring at her and didn't look away, Lily did the same and kept eye contact with him till slowly she turned her head away losing the eye contact. Scorpius had been totally different this whole month, first warm ,then cold and today he chowed some warmth, only for it to show again. Lily sighed and eat her food slowly and kept chatting with her friends.

Lily turned from side to side, from her stomach to her back and then finally she just stared at her beds canopy top the silver and green color of the cloth not soothing her like they usually did. To her green has always been a relaxing natural color, the color of earth and life. But today it would not work and Lily looked around her, both Jeal and Dani were fast asleep and the clock read 1 A.M. Deciding that she would not fall asleep so soon yet, Lily decided to go walk around the Slytherin commons room and see if the green moonlight glow of the lake passing through the glass wall would help her at all. Deciding not to put on a robe over her little hearts black boxer shorts and black tank top, Lily walked downstairs to the commons room only to be surprised. The fire was still on and it looked very inviting but what surprised her the most was the fact that a person, no a guy was sitting on the couch staring at the fire. He had blond hair and Lily knew who he was. She was about to go back to her dorm when he talked.

"Can't sleep"? Scorpius asked, not his body turned looking at her. Lily was thankful for the dark because he could not see her whole face turn red, but he could clearly see what she was wearing and now wanted her robe more then ever. But she couldn't run away now that he has seen her and it she was going to do what she planed, then now was a good time. Taking a deep breath to gather her courage, Lily walked towards the couch where he sat and sat as far as three feet away form him, not to be so obvious either right. He again was looking at the fire, his eyes seemed far away from where they were.

"Yep" Lily said to him as she sat down and he turned his eyes to her. "And you"?

"Same" Scorpius said.

"You have a Quidditch game tomorrow with Gryffindor, nervous"? Lily said, a small laughing sound in her voice. Nervous, no way. He had nerve shown any nervousness. He chuckled and Lily felt warmth going threw her body.

"Of course not" he smiled with a smile on his face. And Lily gave a small laugh.

"You're right" Lily said.

"And you, you have won all you games so far and it seems that you will have the Soccer Cup this year, so what you reason for not being able to sleep"? Scorpius said to her. Lily thought about it for a minute, and really hadn't though of why she could not sleep. Why could she not sleep? Was it because she was nervous about what she was going to to, her mind not being able to sleep because she wanted it to work and yet scared that it would not. She shrugged her shoulder, deciding to lie.

"Don't know" Lily told Scorpius. Both still talked a little but mostly they were quite while Lily was trying to gather her courage, but mostly leaving her soon enough. Soon enough, Lily felt a yawn go through her and heard Scorpius chuckle.

"I guess I can sleep now" Lily told him as she got up and stretched, totally unaware of the fact that she was wearing nothing but boxer shorts and a tank top.

"Yeah" Scorpius said softly. Lily looked at him and he was looking at her.

"Well goodnight Scor – " She said as she was turning around to go back to her dorm only to be interrupted by him, pulled around, her body smashed against his body and his lips on her. Lily was shocked at first, but then forgot about everything but him. His arms around her waist pulling her close to him, his hands touching her bare skin on her back that was uncovered by her tank top, him kissing her so fiercely and tender and oh so sweet, her arms around his neck, playing with her hair. He stopped kissing her lips only to move on to her cheeks, the bridge of her nose, her neck. Lily leaned her head back to allow him better access. He stopped. Lily tensed a little, thinking that he was going to stop, but all he did was lay his head on her neck, breathing against her neck.

"Lily" Scorpius said a little harshly and breathless. "Oh god Lily...I tried so hard...so hard..." and at that he kissed her lips again. They kissed for a long time with only short breaks to catch their breaths, not talking anymore. Lily though that she wasn't tired anymore and at that Lily laughed, her giggles breaking through their kiss and Scorpius backed off, his eyes filled with curiosity, concerned and maybe frightened.

"Lily, shh, Lily be quite" Scorpius said as if her laughter had gotten louder. He kissed her to smolder her laughter but it got contagious and he laughed himself, only softer. Once Lily stopped, they looked at each other for a while, still in each others arms. He had a small smile on his face and Lily knew she had a huge smile on her face. She felt another small yawn come over her and knew she was done for the night. She wanted to stay with Scorpius more time, but she was tired and would probably fall asleep and there was no way she was going to wake up to go to her dorm and he could not take her.

"You should go to sleep" Scorpius told her as she leaned her head against his chest, hearing his heart thumping.

"I should, but I don't want to" Lily told him. He chuckled and Lily felt it rumble threw his chest and into her. She liked this feeling. She was falling deeper into sleep and so she leaned away from him to look at him.

"Are you going to sleep"? Scorpius asked her and Lily nodded. She leaned away from him, reluctantly, and he let go. She missed his warmth.

"Good night" Lily said. "Good luck tomorrow" she said to Scorpius.

"Really, do you want our team to beat your brothers team"? Scorpius told her. She stopped and put her hands on her hips.

"What? Yes of course. If there is one thing I dislike about my brothers is them beating my in anything" Lily told him and he laughed. She liked this Scorpius a lot Lily thought. Lily gave hima peck and then started walking up the stairs to her dorm.

"Goodnight" Scorpius told her softly as she reached the top before it went into the darkness. She turned around to him.

"Goodnight Scorpius" and with that Lily went to sleep feeling like she was going to explode at any minute but because she was tired, it would not and feel asleep quite fast.

YEAH I hope this is what many hoped for. Finally right, well don't get your hopes up so much. And thanks to that person who's review me about the word signed to sighed. I never catch this but it helped and I hope I was able to fix the problem this time. I have Durmstrang for the new girl since I think it's a German school and since she is relateed to Jaeger it works out. Thanks so much for sticking to my story.
