"Lily, will you please stay away from that wretched Malfoy boy? I've heard nothing but terrible things about him, and you heard the way he talked to me. The Malfoys really aren't the people you should associate with," my dad ranted on and on.

My brothers snickered as they listened to Dad lecture me. I tried to sneak off to my room, but Dad's voice stopped me.

"Oh and Lily, remember you are underage, and drinking is prohibited."

"I wasn't drinking," I frustratingly yelled.

James looked at Dad and smiled brightly exclaiming, "Wow, Dad, snakes truly are great liars. Just look at Lily. Looks like Malfoy has really rubbed off on her."

"James enough with your Gryffindor holier than thou bullshit; this conversation obviously doesn't concern us," Albus came to my defense.

Mom finally spoke up, "Why don't you all just head to bed? It's been a long day."

With that said, we went upstairs and into our rooms with the exception of Albus who followed me to my room.

"Thanks Al for defending me," I spoke but Al cut me off.

"We Slytherins must stick together, but don't get me wrong. I don't approve of your weirdo friendship with Malfoy. He's bad news; always has been and always will be. I don't like the way he looks at you, or always hangs around you. In fact, I think it would be best if you didn't hang around him at all."

"Al, you aren't Dad, and you don't even know Scorpius," I angrily said.

Al simply stated, "Neither do you."

He walked away leaving me to think about this whole mess I came home to. I know everyone's right, but I don't see the big deal in being friends with him. I'm obviously not going to date him or anything. He's not my type; Sean is.

Weeks passed by uneventfully, and the whole ministry ball affair seemed forgotten. September first rolled around, and I found myself at platform nine and three quarters.

"Lily!" I heard a familiar voice yell my name.

Before I knew it, Sean had his arms wrapped around me. He lifted me up and twirled me around.

"I've missed you so much, Lily. C'mon let's go find a compartment together," he said cheerfully.

I let him lead me to a compartment and soon his lips found mine. I felt him smile as he kissed me, and his hands entwined around my waist as we lay back on the seat. However, before his tongue could duel mine, the compartment door opens.

Sean glares as Scorpius enters our compartment like it's no big deal. He doesn't even seem embarrassed about interrupting our reunion. He stares at me, and my heart beats faster as his gray gaze meets mine.

"What do you want, Malfoy?" Sean angrily spits out.

"In general?" Scorpius questions his eyes mischievously twinkling and his smirk firmly in place.

After throwing me a wink, he continues, "Well, I want Lily. Would you like me to be more specific?"

He didn't give anyone a chance to speak, and he answered his own question, "Imagine her under me, writhing, and moaning my name."

He didn't get a chance to continue, for Sean lunged at him. Scorpius laughed and easily pushed him away.

Scorpius was quite a bit bigger than Sean, and their looks contrasted in every way. Sean stood at 5'9, had brown hair, and deep brown eyes. He was a mere fifth year like me and was easily the cutest boy in Gryffindor. However, Scorpius stood at 6'1 and had the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen. He would be graduating this year and was easily the hottest man in the whole school.

As if he could read my thoughts, Scorpius looked right at me and grinned.

He stood up acting as if my boyfriend didn't just attack him and said, "Well, I just came by to say hi to Lils, for I haven't seen her since the last ministry ball a few weeks ago. So, hi, Lils. I'll see you tonight."

With that said, he left me with one very pissed off boyfriend.

"What was all that about?" Sean demanded.

"Hell if I know. Scorpius just likes to wreak havoc everywhere he goes. He probably doesn't mean any of it," I tried to explain.

"Since when do you call him Scorpius? What happened at the ministry ball?" he harshly questioned.

"Nothing! I swear. A lot of people go to those things," I replied trying to soothe him.

"What's going to happen tonight?" he asked a little calmer.

I took a deep breath and explained, "He was probably referring to the fact that we both live in the Slytherin common room. Now please stop overreacting."

"Lily, he wants you; hell, he even admitted it," he angrily yelled.

"He didn't mean it! He was just trying to get a rise out of you!" I fought back.

"I saw the way he looked at you," he declared and walked out of the compartment.

I sighed and decided to leave in search of the trolley; I definitely deserved some chocolate. However, someone tall and blonde blocked my exit.
