Day 2

"Wakey wakey rise and shine!" Tally sang, yanking the curtains away from Lily's bed. "What happened to you last night? You disappeared!"
"Oh, I went in. Did some revision, then went to bed at about 5. I was really tired!" Lily yawned and rolled out of bed, collapsing on the floor. "Ouch. That hurt more than it was meant to." She grumbled, her voice muffled by a mouthful of rug. She sat up and stretched, then after 2 minutes of sitting doing nothing, she stood up.
"So, did anything happen with you and Scorpius last night?" Tally asked. "I saw you guys getting quite close."
"I thought he was gonna kiss me, but he bloody well licked me!" Lily exclaimed indignantly. Tally burst out laughing.
"Oh my god, that's hilarious! You're kidding me right?" Lily shook her head. "He's perfect! Can we swap boys please?"
"Mmmm, how about... No. Dylan is totally into you. And I'm totally into Scorpius."
"With any luck, by the end of the month, he will be in me as well as into me." Tally joked. Lily laughed and began to get dressed. The Slytherin common room, being under the Lake, was a lot colder than outside. "Oh it's still baking outside. I went out earlier to see what it was like, at about 6 o'clock, and it was hot then!" Tally had always been an early riser, unlike Lily.
"I'm gonna wear my bikini underneath my shorts and vest, have you got yours on?" Lily asked, rummaging through her trunk to find some new shorts. When she couldn't find any, she picked up the plain blue denim ones she wore yesterday and performed a quick glamour spell to change the colour to a nice shade of emerald. She pulled out a black vest but did a spell to make it reflect heat. It was quite a hard spell to perform, so it probably didn't work, but Lily was still practising it.
"Yeah, I got my mum to send a new bikini to me yesterday." Lily nodded but picked up the ones she wore yesterday.
"That's a good idea, but I've only brought one with me. It's never been this sunny in the whole time I've been at Hogwarts! I'm just gonna wear this one again. It's clean and it looks nice." Lily ran into the bathroom and quickly pulled on her clothes. She washed her face and brushed her hair, pulling it up into a sleek and shiny ponytail. She smoothed some tinted sunscreen on her freckly cheeks and some plain sunscreen on her shoulders, which were looking slightly pink from the past 2 days of sunny weather. At this moment Tally walked in. Lily handed the sunscreen to her and she started rubbing some into Lily's back for her. Lily then returned the favour.
"Do I look okay? Can you see my spot on my forehead? I woke up with it this morning." Tally fussed over her skin in the mirror. Lily looked at her. She really was a beautiful young woman. She had flawless creamy coffee coloured skin ("it's the Spanish in me, darling"), honey blonde hair, electric blue eyes, about 5'8" and a perfect hourglass figure, whereas Lily was pale, extremely freckly, crimson hair, emerald eyes just like her father and her grandmother, and completely straight up and down. They were the same height, but that's where the similarities ended. They were both beautiful, but very different. Being one of the most famous wizard's of all time's daughter, Lily had had many photoshoots in her time, and Tally often came along, being Lily's best friend and a welcome addition to the Potter family, as was Scorpius, being Albus' best friend. Lily looked closer.
"What spot? I can't see a spot." She answered truthfully. "Your skin is so perfect. I hate my freckles."
"Oh, your freckles are so cute though! My skin is so boring. I wish I had something to brighten it up slightly. Maybe I should start drawing on a beauty spot or something." She rummaged in someone's makeup bag until she found a black eyeliner pencil. She drew on a perfect little dot on her cheek. She inspected it, then rubbed it off. "Maybe not! It looks awful!" Lily laughed and agreed. "Shall we go outside then? I wanna get even more brown for when we go to Spain together!" Tally was taking Lily to Spain to see her mum, who had lived in Spain since her parent's had divorced. They had gone with each other to Spain every year since they were 11, and Lily took Tally to Romania to see Lily's uncle Charlie every winter. Charlie was a dragon trainer and Lily loved meeting all the amazing different breeds. "oh, I got you some fruit when I went down for breakfast." She ran back into the bedroom and pulled out an apple and an orange and threw them to Lily, who caught them easily. She took a big bite out of her apple and chucked the orange into her bag, to save it for later. They ran up into the common room arm in arm and hugged their prospective boyfriends. They were sitting down on the sofas doing some revision together, along with Albus and his girlfriend. Lily never could be bothered to learn her name- she was vain and fake, and only wanted Albus for the surname. Albus absolutely doted on her, but the other day Lily heard her telling her friends she only wanted him for the money. So Lily hated her. Fair enough, really. Tally hated her as well, but that was understandable as last year she had done something bad and blamed Tally for it, causing Tally to get 3 weeks of detentions every night. Overall, she was a bitch. Tally sat next to Dylan, but when Lily saw there were no more seats on that sofa, she decided to go all the way and sit on Scorpius' lap. She smiled when she felt the effect she had on him in his trousers. He shuffled around a bit and stretched out his legs.
"Feeling a bit stiff there Scorpius?" she laughed.
"Shut your mouth, Potter. Get off." he shoved her extremely gently.
"You love it really. I have such an amazing effect on you." She replied teasingly, looking down towards his lap and walking her fingers up his chest towards his chin.
"Well, I don't think I can deny that." He shuffled uncomfortably.
"Can you stop talking about this please? I don't want to see my sister doing things like that to my best friend." Albus nearly shouted.
"Sorry big bro! Come on, let's go outside. I'm hot." Lily stood up and pulled up Scorpius.
"I know you are." Scorpius joked.
"So are you. Now come on, hurry up!" She whined. When Lily started pouting they did start to walk faster because otherwise she probably would have started pulling them by the hair. They spent a chilled out morning doing very little revision if any at all, staying out of the water until even the shade got too hot, so then they went into the Lake. After a house vs house water fight, Lily and Tally decided to do some real swimming to "get fitter" when in reality they just wanted a gossip.
"Lily Potter, you are such a slut! The way you were acting with Scorpius in the common room! It was shameful!" Tally exclaimed. Lily laughed.
"He didn't mind!" she defended. "In fact he seemed to like it! Anyway, I want that 10 galleons. It could buy me that new dress in Gladrags. You know the black tight silk one? With the extra 10 from screwing him, I can get the matching shoes."
"Lily! You sound like you only want this for the money now!"
"No, of course not. I love him lots, you know I do, but the money that's now on the line makes it that little bit more exciting." Lily said matter-of-factly.
"I can't believe you. You truly are an awful human being, do you know that?" Lily nodded. "But I'm not going to lie, that dress is perfect on you. More than perfect. I can see why you want to win the bet, but I'm getting there too. Last night, Dylan said he loved me for the first time. Does that count as making a move?"
"Aww, that's cute." Lily cooed. "But no, it doesn't. It's a physical move that counts. Anyway, Scorpius tells me he loves me all the time." She said smugly.
"Yes, but you're best friends and tell each other everything and love each other as friends, and even though me and Dylan are best friends and tell each other everything, we are both too shy to ever express feelings like that." Tally sniffed. Lily quickly checked to see if she was crying. She wasn't, luckily.
"Well, if he said he loved you then I'm sure he does, and he must love you a lot. I guess Scorpius' and my personalities are a lot more outgoing, but you're not exactly a shy person, are you?" Tally shrugged. "Oh please don't shrug darling, it's such a non-committal gesture." She quoted Tally. Tally shoved her so she fell underwater. She stood back up again, rubbed her eyes then proceeded to do the exact same back to Tally. Was it mature? Not at all. Was it funny? Oh hell yeah.
"Hey gorgeous. Oh and Lily you turned up too!" Scorpius exclaimed as Lily and Tally swam up to where he was standing and chatting to Albus, the girlfriend and Dylan. Lily stuck her tongue out at him.
"Back off, Malfoy, she's mine." Dylan joked, putting his arm round Tally. Lily silently high-fived Tally under the water.
"I'm only kidding. We all know your undying love for each other, even though neither of you will accept it." Said Scorpius.
"Hmm, maybe I should just date Lysander instead..." Lily pretended to think out loud.
"Oh Merlin no, not that sissy. His brother is okay, but not him. Come here, you know I love you really." Scorpius held out his arms to hug Lily. She held her nose high in the air and crossed her arms in mock anger. He reached forward and pulled her into a hug. She kept her arms by her sides. "Hey, did you know there's a 5th, 6th and 7th year party on Friday? As in, the day after tomorrow?"
"Is there? Cool! Are we gonna go then?" Lily looked up to Scorpius and to everyone else.
"Well, I don't see why not!" Dylan exclaimed and the others agreed. "What time?"
"It starts at 7.30 in the Room of Requirement. I think Louis Weasley's band are playing too." Scorpius hugged Lily and as she was taken by surprise, hugged him back. "You can never stay mad at me!"
"Oh grow up! But seriously, is Louis playing? That's great news!" Lily's cousin, Louis, had started up a band in his 4th year with some people in other houses. Now he was in his 7th year and he was playing gigs on a growing frequency, and was getting more and more well known. He played the guitar and sang a little bit, but had a girl in Ravenclaw as the lead singer. A female Hufflepuff was the other guitarist and Jake Avery of Slytherin was the drummer. Their main aim was to get well known even in the Muggle world, and they had had some interest from an ex singer, now producer, Justin someone or other.
"Oh Merlin, what shall we wear?" Tally fretted.
"Well, you could always pay the 20 galleons to me upfront and see what happens at the party!" Lily said, giggling. Tally tapped her on the arm.
"You are truly awful!" Tally exclaimed, but laughed with her.
"What's she getting paid 20 galleons for?" Albus stopped kissing his girlfriend to show them he was listening to the conversation.
"Oh, well... Nothing." Lily said evasively.
"You said nothing yesterday! What's going on, Lily?" Scorpius was quick on the ball, as always.
"There's nothing going on! Jeez, you're making me sound like a prostitute or something!" She cringed. "It's nothing important or scandalous! I promise. It's simply a girly best friend secret that cannot be told to anyone else!"
"Like I believe that!" Scorpius scoffed. "You've never been a good liar!"
"Well that's a bit awkward because I'm telling the truth." Lily muttered. "Do you know what, if you don't believe me, there's not much point me being here. I have loads of revision, I'm sunburnt, I'm tired, and on top of that I've got to find something to wear for Friday." She raked a hand through her thick red locks and turned round to leave the Lake.
"Lily..." Scorpius began.
"No, I don't care. I'll talk to you tomorrow." She cut him off and waded back to the shore. She found her bag and dried herself off with her towel. She wrapped the towel around her hair and sloped back to the Slytherin Common Room. Once in there, she picked up her wand from beside her bed and performed a quick drying spell on her hair. She had somehow managed to tweak the spell slightly so it made her hair shiny and glossy and curly enough to look nice but not frizzy. She chuckled to herself when she remembered the time she first tried editing the spell and ended up with a glow in the dark pink afro for a week. Then she remembered the next time she tried the spell and her hair went ice blue for a while. Needless to say, the spell took a while to perfect. Now, however, she could do it in her sleep. She pulled her hair round her shoulder and put it in a simple plait to keep it out of her face. She was just about to go back into the common room for revision when Miriam, another girl in their year and house walked in. Lily and Miriam hadn't got along since their second year when Miriam accused Lily of stealing her make up when Lily had always been saying how much she hated it. It was a very petty argument and eventually Miriam had found it but Lily was so angry at her that they hadn't really spoken much since, apart from when forced to.
"Oh, it's you. What are you in here for?" Miriam sniffed, looking down her nose at Lily.
"I live here too!" She defended.
"I thought you would be with all your trashy friends." she sneered. Lily laughed. If there was ever one thing she had learnt from her mother is to ignore your antagoniser, make them feel small, or even better, be nice to them. Lily loved to laugh at Miriam's comments as the more and more she laughed the more flustered Miriam would get, until she would storm off, swearing under her breath.
"Don't insult my friends. Remember the job my dad does, and remember who your dad is. He never did get charged for his crimes, did he? Well, perhaps we can change that..." Lily said, deep in thought. Miriam gasped.
"You wouldn't! Not my dad! I'm telling you, he was forced!" she exclaimed, beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
"Oh wouldn't I? I have Ginevra Weasley's blood in my veins, don't doubt anything I can do." She smirked and swept out of the room, leaving a very red and bothered Miriam standing in the middle of the floor, practicing her goldfish impersonation. Lily chuckled to herself. Miriam fell for that trap every time. She sat on her favourite sofa opposite the fire and propped her legs up against the arm, swinging around until she was lying on the sofa, stretched out with cat-like luxury. At least, until Scorpius ran into the room and vaulted over the sofa, landing where Lily's feet were half a second before. She put them calmly on top of his lap.
"Hello, Lilian!" He exclaimed, grinning.
"Shut up, I'm revising." She grumbled. "Don't call me Lilian either, you know that's not my real name." She picked up all her notes and pretended to read them. She could feel the warmth of someone's body coming closer and closer, and when she finally looked up over her pieces of parchment, Scorpius was a few inches away from her, pulling a stupid face. "Just grow up, will you?" She nearly shouted, shoving him away. She put her legs on the floor and rested her notes on the table, leaning over them, trying to concentrate.
"Lily, calm down, I'm just trying to make you laugh, you seem really stressed lately. Do you need some help with your revision? What subject is it?" He peered over her shoulder. "Oh, Charms! I'm good at Charms! What do you need help with?"
"I'm fine." She lied, biting her lip. In reality, Charms was her worst subject.
"See, I actually know you are lying here. You did the lip bite then the nose rub. Tou always do one or both of those when you lie. What do you need help with?"
"You know me too well. You're really annoying, did you know that?"
"You may have mentioned it once or twice." He grinned such a beautiful smile that Lily couldn't help but smile back. "So what are you stuck on?"
"It's just this spell. No matter how hard I try, I can't do it." She showed him the notes on a particular spell. He nodded.
"Okay, so it's quite easy once you get the concept. Have you got your wand with you?"
"Yeah, it's here." She slid it out of the waistband of her underwear, which is where she liked to keep it. It was easy to pull out, she just had to be careful when she sat down. Because she kept it on her hip, it never hindered her walking or any physical exercise.

"Okay, so what you need to do is move the wand like this." He picked up a quill and pretended it was a wand. She copied the motion. "You need to imagine what the spell is going to do. Keep your eyes open, you silly sausage, you need to be able to see the object!" She opened her eyes and smiled guiltily. "Now, say the spell for me." She said it, but he shook his head. "You're not pronouncing it quite right. You're putting a stress on the word where a stress isn't meant to be. That's probably why it won't work. Stress it on the 2nd syllable instead of the 3rd." She nodded and tried again. "Perfect! Now try all these things together. Here, use this bottle of ink." He placed it carefully into the middle of the table. She said the spell and did the action, and to her surprise, it worked perfectly.
"I did it?" She said in disbelief. He laughed.
"Really well! The only person that does it better is me, of course." He put a hand to his chest in a dramatic sweep.
"Thank you so much for helping me!" She gushed, hugging him quickly. He laughed his deep, amazing laugh and she smiled. Right here, in his arms, was where she felt she belonged. She looked up to his handsome face and was quite shocked to see his face centimetres from hers. Their lips were mere millimetres away when Tally stormed in and pushed them apart.
"Lily, I need to talk to you." She growled, her eyes murderous.
"I'm doing revision though!" She excused herself.
"Now, Lily!" She shouted. Seeing her anger, she jumped up quickly. Tally ran down to their dorm and collapsed on to her bed and swiftly burst into tears. Lily gasped and ran over to her, sitting next to her on the bed.
"Why didn't you tell me about that thing in first year?" Tally screeched, turning up to look at Lily. She raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean, Tal?" She enquired innocently.
"That time at Christmas!" Still a blank look from Lily. "Oh my GOD, you don't remember? How could you?"
"Tally, tell me!"
"You should know!"
"Natalya Gorroba, you tell me right now because I honestly don't have a clue what you mean."
"You kissed my brother! At that party! Lily, he's 2 years older than you!" Realisation suddenly dawned.
"Oh yeah, that! I forgot about that! Talls, that meant nothing! It was under mistletoe for Merlin's sake!"
"He never mentioned that. We were talking about you and he just mentioned kissing you in his 3rd year during Christmas holidays."
"Well he was being evasive then. Merlin, Tal, he's your brother! Isn't there a rule against that kind of thing? Thou shalt not date thou best friend's sibling? Now stop crying like a silly billy, and come do revision with me. Scorpius is helping." Lily gave Tally a hug and pulled her up onto her feet.
"It didn't look like revision that you guys were doing!" Tally teased.
"That sounds more like you! Why were you crying anyway?" Lily asked.
"Mainly from shock. A little bit of anger, and a lot of hurt because you didn't tell me." She sniffled, rubbing her eyes.
"Come here, you've smudged your mascara. I didn't tell you because I didn't think I needed to. It was a pointless kiss under mistletoe. It didn't mean anything. I mean, I like Aidan, I do, but no way could I like him in that sense." Lily rambled, wiping Tally's smudged make up. They were just leaving the dorm when Lily remembered something. "Hey, aren't you gonna pick up your bag? That's always useful in revision." She teased. Tally picked the bag up and ran out the door, being chased by Lily. Tally was just about to win the 'race' when she tripped on the stairs, 2 from the top. Lily rushed past her and performed a little victory dance. "Haha I win!"
"Shut up and do revision. You know I'm a sore loser!" Tally said, laughing. They both ran to the sofa by the fire, where Scorpius was sitting, stretched out along the whole seat. Lily quickly moved to the top end and lifted up his head, then placing it back in her lap, where she started to play with his hair. Tally hovered at the end of the sofa. "I don't want his stinky feet near my face!" She exclaimed immaturely.
"Tough luck. Should have won the race, shouldn't you?" Scorpius grinned widely at Tally. "My feet aren't that bad, anyway." Lily smiled and leant forward to kiss Scorpius' cheek. He accepted it happily.
"That was because Tally interrupted us before. Before you ask, it's all been sorted out."
"I will never understand you girls." Scorpius sighed, shaking his head. "So, what do you need help with? I'm best at Charming things." He said, sitting up and running a hand through the hair Lily had already messed up. Just that simple movement had Lily's heart pounding.
'You really are best at charming, Scorpius.' Lily thought to herself.

A/N: So, this chapter is mainly filler-y foreshadow stuff. There are some clues as to what will happen in the party if you look closely, however it's also unexpected. I was going to have the party about a week after, but I got writer's block and kind of wanted to rush it slightly. However, I've written out Day 3 and I'm starting Day 4 now, and the writer's block has, gladly, disappeared. Yay! Remember to review, have a glass of something lovely (on me, of course... Wait that sounded kinky... You know what I meant, you internet-minded people!) ANYWAY, if you enjoyed it and you reviewed enjoy your glass of something! (but you have to review)
