CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Lily woke up looked at the clock, and that that it was 15 till noon and she sprung up from her bed going to her closet. Lily had not been able to sleep during the night because Lily was so excited and nervous for why Scorpius wanted to meet up with Lily, alone. Not that they never been alone or anything but they had never planned to meet up in secret. In secret, Lily thought and smiled as she got up from bed. Jeal still was sleeping, her arm flung over her face snoring and Dani was up reading looking at her weird

"Morning Lily, in a hurry" Dani said. Lily didn't want Dani to suspect or lie to her, so she told her a white lie.

"Morning Dani, fuck I'm going to be late and Scorpius hates it when I'm late for out practice" Lily said, half telling the truth and half lying, not really lying. She gathered a pair of skinny jeans, a gray t-shirt with Oxford University logo on front, underwear, socks and went into the bathroom to change, brush her teeth and hair and once changed Lily grabbed her white jacket, put on her converse shoes and ran out out of her dorm, only to be stopped by Dani.

"Lily" Dani yelled and Lily turned around to find Dani walking towards her. Oh no. She knew something. Lily thought. She had a wand in her hand, going up to point at Lily. She knows and she doesn't like it and she's going to hex me, Lily thought, a little panicked.

"Here" Dani said as she stood in front of Lily with the wand held out "You forgot your wand" and Lily smiled and gave a small uneven laugh. Dani looked at her weird.

"Thanks Dani" Lily said and before Dani could say anything, Lily walked down the stairs and into the commons room. Once there, since people where gathered there just hanging out, Lily fast walked it to the door hoping no one would notice her strange behavior, and once out, ran it to the tower, not caring who saw her then. Once reaching the last set of stairs to climb to reach the top where Scorpius was, Lily checked her watch, saw she was a minute late, nothing to yell about, and walked normally, catching her breath and hoping she was not late. And she was not, because when she reached the top where he should be, he was not.

"I can wait a while" Lily told herself a she decided to to outside. Outside it was cold and she could see her breath, but she didn't mind. The whole school grounds where covered with snow and footprints made by people earlier and new ones being made as more people went outside to play in the snow. Students below where having snow fights, other where making snow fortresses, others where making snow man, and other just having fun in the snow let it be making snow angles or walking with your friends or boyfriend. Lily was watching all these people have fun out there, when the back of her head was hit by a snow ball. Lily didn't even go for her wand, instead, she grabbed snow from the pillar and made a snow ball out of it fast, then turned around quickly to hit the person that had hit her, only for him to dodge it. Next, he threw one at her and missed and went on like this for a while, both hitting and missing each other. When Lily was out of breath from laughing to much and couldn't throw another snowball did they stop. Lily walked inside the tower and slid down the wall and leaned against it, while Scorpius went to another wall, leaned against it and looked at her. Lily smiled when she noticed Scorpius adorable face. His ears and nose and cheeks where red compared to his usual pale face and he did not seem you typical wizard with his Zumiez winter coat, his Levi jeans or his DC shoes, no robes for him like other wizards and also because muggle's cloths were becoming more worn in the wizard world.

"What"? Scorpius said when he noticed her looking at him. Lily shook her head but didn't look away.

"I know, your mad that I'm late aren't you"? Scorpius said and Lily narrowed her eyes as she had completely forgotten about him being late, but that was not why she was staring at him and she was going to tell him this when he continued "My bad, I was with Janika for a while in the library" Scorpius said, not offering to explain why he was and she was not going to. Lily took a deep breath and told herself not to become a jealous bitch or she turn into Maddie and then plot to have every girl off Scorpius and she was not that, a bitch who everyone hated or was scared off.

"No it's okay" Lily said, looking away from him now "You're not really late, things happen" very true " I was here early" not true. Then Lily looked at Scorpius to find him smiling and Lily couldn't help but smile back. Scorpius leaned away from the wall and went to sit next to Lily, very close.

"Lily" Oh great using her first name in such a way after the way he has been acting towards her "Lily" Scorpius said again but in a singing tone "Lily, don't pretend, you are mad" and Scorpius leaned towards her and raised at her lame attempt to pretend not to be mad. Arrogant showoff bastard, Lily thought and pushed him away and he just chuckled. She glared at him and huffed which only made him laugh.

"You're so cute Lily" Scorpius said and she felt her face go red and he saw and he laughed at her again. Lily stayed quite.

"Not going to deny that"? Scorpius asked her and only laughed harder when she said nothing at all. Of course she was not going to deny that, when someone called you cute you weren't going to go and say 'I'm fat' or 'I'm ugly' that was just a dumb thing to say really. Lily felt his arms go around her and pulled her towards him, her head resting on his shoulder.

"You're so cute when you're jealous" Scorpius said and Lily had it, getting up fast and turning towards him, Lily glared at him.

"Why are you doing this? Why do you like to tease me so"? Lily yelled at him and his face turned serious, all the humor gone from his face and eyes. Lily continued "One day you kiss me, next day your cold to me and then you act as if we are just FRIENDS" and as Lily said this, she held back her sadness and let her anger out, the anger she has been holding for a while now all because of HIM.

"Lily" don't call me Lily, Lily thought.

"DON'T CALL ME LILY" Lily said out loud. "I had it, I don't know what your whole plan is, but if it involves me being the object of your humor, then don't count me in. I don't care if you never talk to me again or glance at me or anything, I rather have that then a broken heart" Lily looked at him with her chin held high, refusing to let him get to her anymore. With a curt nod, Lily spun around and took a step.

"LILY" Scorpius said and Lily was going to turn around and tell him to never say her first name when she felt her body being pulled down and she fell to her knees between both his legs. Lily looked up to find Scorpius looking at her intensely. He put a hand to her head and leaned in closer, his face soft and his eyes bright. He whispered "You don't know anything" and with those four words, he kissed her. Lily wanted to pull back but couldn't all she wanted to do was be here with him and kiss him. Not to long afterwards, Lily's knees started to her and she would shift her weight from one knee to the other.

"Here, " Scorpius whispered to her as he kissed down her jaw and cupped her butt "put you legs on top of mine, sit on top of me" he coaxed and Lily did as she was told. He then put his hands on her hips and ran then up to her lower back under her jacket and shirt. "Your so warm, and your skin is so soft" he whispered to her and his cold breath against her skin made her shiver and he just chuckled. Lily then could feel something hard under her butt and when Scorpius shifted, she knew what it was. He was hard and she could feel it against her crotch. Lily blushed and wondered what he thought of it and if he knew what part of her it was touching. Lily decided that they should stop before things went to far.

"Scorpius"? Lily whispered.

"Yes sweet"? Sweet? Lily liked that nickname.

"We better stop" Lily said and at this, he looked at her with curiosity in his eyes and Lily felt herself go redder.

"Why"? He asked softly, his hands still under her shirt.

"Uh because... a teacher might see us you know not very good" Lily said and he smiled at her as to imply who would come and see this specific tower and be surprised to find them there. Not a very good reason, Lily thought. "Because... because" WHY DAMN IT Lily thought "Because things might go to far and we might regret it later" Lily said fast and felt her whole face turn completely red. If she had not inherited the Weasly family red hair, she had certainly inherited their easy embarrassment blushes. Scorpius chuckled, took his hands out of her shirt, grabbed her hips, and pulled her off him next to him like they had been before the whole fight.

"Your right" Scorpius said and Lily wondered if he thought that she had been right in the part that things might go to fast so soon, or that he would regret it later. They were quite for a moment.

"Go out with me"? Scorpius said and Lily was caught off guard. Was this what he had wanted to tell her in secret? Lily was shocked that she could not talk or even look at him and even more shocked when he grabbed her hand, entwined it with his and set it on top his bent knee. What? Lily thought. Scorpius must of taken her shocked silence as bad because he continued.

"I know it's all sudden and all, but I'm tired of hiding my feeling for you. All those times I acted cold towards you, all I was trying to do was make myself get away from you and even then I wasn't to so successful. The reason I did it was because of my family and I'm guessing that could be a problem for you too if any of your silence is telling me" he said as he laughed a nervous laugh. Lily turned towards him.

"WHAT"? She said. He stopped and looked away from her face.

"I'm sorry, I should of never have kissed you or ask you out"and with that he got up but Lily caught his hand. Since she was not as strong as him she could not pull him down, but he could pull her up.

"Pull me up" Lily asked and he did, trying to walk away but Lily wouldn't let him go.

"Scorpius" and he stopped trying to get away. "I...I..."

"Just say it. You can just laugh and say you won't go out with me because I'm a MALFOY. Yeah you can kiss me but thats all for fun. You don't have to be nice about it" Scorpius yelled at her furious and Lily felt tear sting her eyes. When did their roles switch from being insecure about their strange relationship, or had he always been hiding it?

"NO" Lily said, going up to him, grabbing his face with both her hands and looking at him in the eyes. "NO, I'm not being nice. Don't you see, I'm shocked. I came here to ask you about you feeling for ME and expecting you to say that you were just playing with my feeling because I'm a POTTER" Lily paused, wondering what else to say to convince him when she saw that he still did not believe her. "And yes, I am scared of what my family will say, what they will do. But mostly I'm afraid of losing this one chance to be with you" Lily said as she felt a tear roll down her cheek only to be caught by his thumb.

"Lily" Scorpius whispered and pulled her close to him, her face in his chest as Lily cried. They still held each other long after Lily stopped crying.

"So"? Scorpius asked.

"So what"? Lily asked her voice muffled by his shirt. He gently pulled her chin up with his hand, his handsome face smiling and looking confident. Arrogant bastard, Lily thought again with a small smile.

"Will you be my girlfriend Lily Luna Potter" Scorpius asked and Lily threw her arms around him and started to kiss him. After kissing, they stayed in the tower a while longer just talking and occasionally kissing, but no further then that. But both were happy with just that.

In a dark corner of the school, a man was holding a girl, her back to him and him pressing her into the wall. The girl whimpered and the man enjoyed her sound of pain.

"Well well well, look what a pretty pray I got here. I told you could never escape me, and look now, you fell right into my hands. HAHAHAHA. You will be very useful and if you are to tell anyone about this, then it's your pretty Mutter who's going to pay the price" and with that warning, the man threw the girl into the ground and she fell with a whimper of pain, then she looked up at him with her eyes full of fear. Knowing there was nothing she could do, the girl ran away with the man laughing even more.

YEAH I thought it was cute where they fight (or more the reason why they start). And to that review who that told me about my mistake, LOL because it was funny and thank you for doing so (funny also how you used an anonymous name to write the review) I liked the criticisms, it's different from all the nice reviews I get (not that I can get enough of them) but to also hear some bad stuff. And yes I know it drags on, but when I started I never though it go this way, you never know how anything is going to go when you go with the flow. And I like the Scorpius in this story a lot.
