(500) Days of Lily Pedals

Another update! W00t! So, this chapter is hilarious, I think. Frank and Roy, I think, are my favorites, actually. They're so hysterical together. Scorpius is kind of pathetic in this story XD Hope you guys like!

(22)

Frank was sitting at the windowsill with the window open, staring out on the Hogwarts grounds. He was looking through his omnoculars and every so often he would randomly burst into chuckled laughter. Roy and Albus were not amused.

"Do you really have to chuckle every five seconds and scream 'wash your hands' every time someone picks their nose?" Roy said with as little enthusiasm as possible. "Some of us are trying to work."

Roy was lying face down on his bed. His legs were dangled up into the air as he flipped through a book called Common Magical Ailments and Afflictions. Roy took a series of healing courses in Hogwarts to ensure his want to be a healer. He was pretty good at charms such as that and because of this he has never once had to go to the hospital wing. Just as well for Roy claims he is severely allergic to the color white. Sometimes, he claims to be allergic to Frank as well.

Frank rolled his eyes. He put down his omnoculars and pounced upon his friend. Frank was often very forward with the fact that he was gay. It freaked some of his friends out, at first, until Frank revealed that they all were not his type. Scorpius, Albus and Roy, in Frank's opinion, were about as attractive to him as werewolves were to vampires. Frank, knowing all about vampires, will be able to assure you that that is not a lot.

Nevertheless, Frank used his gayness to his advantage. He was on top of Roy, literally, pelvis to ass and Frank started to stroke Roy's hair. Roy rolled his eyes, not amused. He stared straight forward and did not look back, for he knew what would happen if he did.

"If you don't get off my ass in ten seconds, Longbottom, I swear to god-"

"You know you really do have a luscious set of locks, Mudd. If you just put the books down and paid more attention to the ladies, you'd have no trouble wooing one."

"I don't want or need any love advice. Least of all from you," Roy spat.

"Come on, Frank. Get off 'im. It's bloody disgusting," Albus said as he went back to his letter. Albus wrote his dear mother every week. Sometimes, every day. Momma's boy.

"Oh, so my being gay is bloody disgusting?" Frank said, jumping off Roy and pretending to be hurt. Albus rolled his eyes.

"You know what I mean. You're gay; he's straight. That's what's disgusting."

"What makes you so sure that he's straight? He's never had a girlfriend and never talks about girls," Frank said with a smirk.

"God damn it, Frank. I'm bloody straight, you nitwit!" Roy yelled over his book. Frank smirked. He was about to make some sassy reply when there was a disturbance.

Scorpius Malfoy slammed the door open. His eyes were drooped and his smile was nonexistent. He walked in with the most depressed walk he's ever had before. The backpack he was holding in his right hand slipped off his fingers as he sat onto the bed, then laid himself down on it face up. Frank, Roy, and Albus looked at him, oddly.

Frank smirked and sat down next to Scorpius. "What's wrong, buddy?" he asked, stroking his stomach. Something only a gay friend would do.

"Don't pet me, Frank," Scorpius said, dully.

"That's not what you said last night," Frank smirked, continuing to stroke his stomach.

"What happened, Scorpius?" Albus asked, trying to take the awkward Frank tension off. While Frank was one of his best friends, he can be a lot to take sometimes.

"It's over," Scorpius mumbled.

"What's over?" Roy said, barely able to contain the sarcasm. For years he's been putting up with Scorpius's over analyzing and girl issues. What Scorpius was about to say was probably nothing. He couldn't have been more right.

"Me and Lily," Scorpius said.

Albus squinted. "Were you guys ever together?" he asked.

Scorpius shook his head, no. "But we could have been. If God decided to like me for once." Roy rolled his eyes. Drama queen.

One Hour Ago

Scorpius saw Lily at the Gryffindor table. He sat down next to her. If he was ever going to ask her out, it had to be now. Now. Go. "Lily," he said.

Lily didn't notice him until he spoke. "Yeah?" she asked.

Scorpius paused. "H-how was your weekend?" So much for asking her out. Now, they were exhibiting small talk. The deadly type of talk.

"It was good."

Now

"Do you believe that shit?" Scorpius said, angrily, sitting up.

Albus and Frank exchanged glances and Roy chuckled a bit, still reading his book. Frank looked awkwardly at Albus. "Is there a dog in here?" he asked. Albus looked at him like he was crazy. Frank exchanged a glance with Albus and shrugged indicating he had no idea what the hell Scorpius was talking about.

Scorpius also looked at him like he was crazy. "What? No."

"Is that the end of the story?" Albus asked.

Scorpius paused. "Yeah."

"Dude, you got some serious issues," Roy said from the other bed, his head still not raising from reading his book.

"No, I don't. She didn't say good. She said good. Emphasis on the good! Which means she spent her weekend having sex with the beaters on the Slytherin team."

"Really? The Slytherin beaters are so ugly. Come on, Lily, have a little taste," Frank murmured.

Albus didn't say anything for a while. "Yeah, I don't think that's what she meant," he said.

"Well, regardless, it basically means that she's not interested in me."

"Based on it was good?" Frank asked. "Man, I'm so glad I'm gay," he said, going back to the windowsill to look at people through his omnoculars again.

"Frank's right, Scorp. You're thinking way too much into this," Albus said.

"What if I'm not?" Scorpius snapped.

"But you are," Roy corrected.

"Roy, stay outta this!" Scorpius yelled. Roy smirked. He loved getting under Scorpius's skin.

"You know, for you having this obsessive crush-"

"I am not obsessive!" Scorpius cut in.

"Would you let me talk? Geez!" Albus said. "For you having this…crush on my sister and talking about her and all this, I think I've been a pretty reasonable guy up until now. But you claiming that she's off having sex with a bunch of buck-toothed black-eyed chubby Slytherin beaters. Plural! You don't talk about my sister that way, man!" Albus said, his temper rising. The one thing scholars have suspected he did in fact inherit from Harry Potter.

Scorpius hung his head low and he was quiet. "I'm sorry."

"Thank you!" Albus said, still slightly angry. "I don't want to hear any more I said she said gossip about my little sister! You know what? Maybe you're right. She doesn't like you. End of story so just bloody shut up about it!" Albus grew too frustrated to stay in the room and burst out the common room doors, slamming the dormitory door shut.

Scorpius raised his eyes. Roy was laughing on his bed. "Look at that, you woke the beast."

Lol. I just love Roy so much XD
