A/N: Sorry for the delay again. I got so caught up in work and reading Roswell stories. If you've never watch the show, it was a great 3 seasons. Also, what do you all think about the Charlie Hunnam casting for Christian Grey? I don't hate it. Hope you all like this! Let me know. It's a little fun one, especially towards the end! Cheers
Ch. 20 The After Effect
"Lils, are you sure you're okay?" This was the twentieth time Scorpius had asked Lily if she was alright after the incident with Kevin.
"Scor, I promise you, I'm fine. Look," Lily held up her arms, "No marks, no bruises, just pasty, white skin." She leaned over him on the couch in the Room of Requirement. Lily pushed Scorpius back until he was lying flat as she hovered over him. Lily trailed a kiss along Scorpius' jaw line, "But if you'd like to continue to think I'm weak, then I guess I have to stop kissing you and I probably can't touch you any more so I should go back to my room away from my very sexy boyfriend."
Lily lifted off Scorpius, but didn't make it far as a hand shot up and hauled Lily back down to the couch. Scorpius moved so fast, he traded places with Lily with her on the bottom.
Trailing his fingers down Lily's arms, Scorpius looked sheepish. Softly and slowly, he said, "Well, I'm sure since you're the Great Lily Potter, that means you bounce back well. Maybe, that sexy boyfriend of yours could kiss your wounds away." Lily blushed as Scorpius made his way from Lily's nose down to her neck and flirted dangerously towards Lily's chest. He smiled, devilishly, and traveled lower. He peppered kisses all over.
"Scor. Scor," Lily whispered huskily. "Hey, sorry," panting Lily continued, "Scor, I'm sorry. I think we need to slow down. This is happening a little too quickly." Lily pushed up from Scorpius.
Scorpius moved with her. Lily sat apart from Scorpius until he smirked and pulled her into his lap. Lily snuggled her head Scorpius' head, in the crook of his neck. "Lils, what's wrong? I thought you wanted me to kiss you?" Scorpius played with a strand of Lily's hair.
"I thought I was fine and then all of a sudden something changed. I'm just a little scared." Lily admitted. She never liked feeling vulnerable, but the way Kevin acted tonight frightened her. "I think my mind just traveled farther than I thought it would. My mind wanted to take me towards what would have happened had you or Al not showed up. I've always thought I could defend myself, but I couldn't."
Scorpius wasn't sure where to start. He was angry that she was so scared. He was her protector and he had failed. Now he had to make it right. He turned Lily within his arms so they were face to face. "I'm sorry, Lily." Lily tried to protest, "No, stop. I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you. I'm sorry this happened. I want to kill anyone who even thinks about hurting you. I will make you this promise; we can work on any sort of fighting you want that will make you feel more prepared. We can even figure out a special place for your wand for easy access if someone attacks you." Lily had tears running down her face, but smiled up at him. "Don't be surprised. I know how fiercely independent you are and as much as I want you to rely on me I will not force you into that position. I love you, Lily Potter."
Lily wasted no time and she launched herself at him, consuming his lips. Scorpius abandoned any need for control and let Lily dictate what happened next. He never wanted to push her like that bastard did or tried to do.
Lily tried to show Scorpius how much she appreciated his words and care through her kiss. She ran her tongue across Scorpius' bottom lip and then nibbled on it as she pulled away. "How in the name of Merlin did I get so lucky to have you, Scor?"
"You've been a very good girl to deserve me, Lils, a very, very good girl. But my mother would probably say it was all her doing." Lily laughed and pulled Scorpius in and inhaled. She felt safe her, in his arms.
Dear Lils,
Hey it's your big brother James. I don't know if you remember me since it's been so long since we've seen each other. I know the Canons keep me busy, but Lils I really think this is our year. I know. I know. Uncle Ron always says that, but now they have a Potter on their team so it's bound to be better.
Now, I have to talk to you about something serious. Don't get mad at Albie (you should tell him I called him that) for telling me about your incident with Kevin. If I wouldn't get kicked off the team I would have been there hours ago kicking his ass, but I also heard how Al and Scor handled that. I want you to promise me something. I'm going against mancode here, but if you can't get to your wand, you need to drive your knee up as hard as you can against his male parts. Now I know how bad that hurts and if you can use all your strength it should hurt that bastard a million times worse.
I can't believe I wasn't there to help you. But I promise the next time I see that wanker, I will turn his face inside out.
Well, Lils, tell Scor I said good luck on his next challenge. I hope to see you all at my first match.
Stay safe and create some trouble,
Your loving and favorite brother, James
