Ch. 2 Relationships Grow

"What are you doing?" Lily asked. Kevin continued to jerk around in a strange movement. She had no idea what he was doing, but she knew it was ridiculous.

"I'm doing Gangnam Style. Haven't you heard of it?" Kevin replied as he continued to dance around. Lily shook her head. She knew she wouldn't last out on the dance floor much longer, but she was out there because he was. Lily and Kevin had been dating for the past two months and she left for Hogwarts soon. She wasn't sure if she would tell Kevin about her 'special capabilities' before she left. It was a tough decision. The two months were amazing. She didn't want to mess anything up.

"Want to get a drink?" Kevin interrupted her train of thoughts. He grabbed her hand and led her to their table. They both collapsed into their seats.

"You looked amazingly strange out there," laugh Lily. She continued to giggle and hadn't noticed Kevin inching closer to her.

"Well, I think. You. Look. Pretty. Strange. Too," he accentuated each word with a kiss all over Lily's head. And she playfully slapped him back. "You are such a great boyfriend. Not," Lily retorted back. They loved to tease each other. She enjoyed their entire relationship. But she couldn't help feeling she was being dishonest. Maybe she could ask her mum for advice? Lily didn't know what to do.

"What time did you have to be home, Lily?"

"Eleven, so we better get going." They walked out of the dance club hand in hand.

"So, sweetheart, how are things with Kevin?" Ginny Potter questioned her daughter. They were preparing for a family dinner before Al and Lily left for Hogwarts tomorrow.

"I think they're going great, but I wanted to ask for some advice, Mum." Ginny gave her only daughter a look. She had a feeling she knew what her daughter was going to ask. "Go ahead. What's on your mind?"

"Well, I haven't told Kevin anything about magic and I feel like I'm hiding who I am. Kevin is incredible and I just don't feel comfortable holding something back from him. But tomorrow we go back to Hogwarts and I'll only get to talk to him through letters. What should I do, Mum? Lily stated in an exasperated tone. She really had no idea what to do. She didn't want to drop this huge bomb and then leave for school.

"Honey, I think you need to do whatever you feel is the right thing to do. And I know that sounds cliché, but I can't tell you what to do with your relationships. However, I always want you to be my wonderful, beautiful, amazing daughter Lily. No relationship is worth not being yourself, but I understand your reservations about telling him before you leave. It's hard for a muggle to understand. What do you want to do? Do you want to tell him tonight?" Lily had to admit she had the best mother in the world.

"I don't want to tell him in a rush and that's what I would have to do if I were to tell him tonight. So, I think what my heart tells me is that we're still in a new relationship. If we get to the point of love, and we can stand the long distance then I'll tell him," Lily said with resolve. She didn't know the solution when she walked into the kitchen, but she definitely knew what to do as she walked out. "Thanks, Mum, you're the best." And Lily made her way upstairs.

Lily changed her clothes and on her way downstairs she ran right into Scorpius. "Wow, Lily slow down."

"Sorry, Scor, I didn't see you there. And when did you get her? I didn't hear you Floo in," Lily asked.

"I got here just a few minutes ago. I was on my way up to Al's room." That was the truth, but he really had hoped to run into Lily. He wanted to see how things with Kevin were going. He just had to work up the nerve to ask. They stood there for a couple of seconds in silence. "So, uh…um how is Kevin? I mean, you guys are still together right?" Man, he felt so stupid.

"Yes, we're still together. I really like him. He hasn't come around yet, because he doesn't know about magic and I can't take the chance that Mum and Dad won't use it." And I don't know how he'll react, Lily said to herself. She looked away from Scorpius.

"Oh, so you haven't told him yet. Good luck with that," and then he brought her eyes up to him, "but let him know if he so much as hurts a hair on your head, I'll come after him…um…and James and Al will too." They held each other's gaze for a second longer. It was Lily who broke the contact.

"Okay, I'm going to make sure Mum has everything under control." And with that they parted ways.

In that brief interaction, Scorpius felt hope. She hadn't told him about magic yet, so he thought they couldn't be that serious. He still had a shot. He only needed the courage to tell him and the right moment to do so. He was going to be the best friend Lily would ever need until he could show her that he could be more than that…her boyfriend.
