(500) Days of Lily Pedals
I'm running out of pre-made chapters soon. Agh! I'm really going to have to look at the screenplay for this movie and continue writing this story. Oh well. It will happen. Soon...ish. I do love this chapter but, to keep you in suspense, my FAVORITE chapter so far is the next one and it takes place on day 28. Ahh! So great.

Despite the fact that Scorpius had claimed that it was over with Lily, he was still overly obsessed with her. And it showed.
9:00
Scorpius and Frank sat at the Gryffindor table eating their breakfast. Lily walked past and Scorpius's eyed her in a creepy way. Lily only just noticed him. "Hey," she said, smiled and waved.
Scorpius's face looked like he had slept with a hanger in his mouth. "Hey!" he practically screamed and was chuckling nervously. "How're you?" But Lily was out of range to hear him and was currently laughing at a joke that her friend told.
His face looked like a puppy dog kept out in the rain. Frank was glaring at him. "You sicken me," he retorted and resumed to eat his breakfast.
11:00
Scorpius and Roy were taking notes in potions class. Though, that was the last thing on Scorpius's mind. "Lily's favorite color is green," he explained. "She hates the color pink but she always dies her hair that color. Why does she die her hair that color if she hates it so much? I don't understand." Roy made a 'mm' noise indicating he was not listening nor did he care. "You'd think her favorite color was red 'cause she's in Gryffindor. Anyway. Do you want to bet on what color her hair will be tomorrow?" he smiled.
Roy looked up from his notes, his eyes half closed, not amused. "Would it be alright if I killed you?"
1:00
"What do you think it means when a girl says hi to you?" Scorpius asked Albus at lunch.
Albus sighed. He had been trying to ignore his best friends obsession statements about his sister but it's gotten a little over the top now. "I think it means she's acknowledging your existence," he explained as if Scorpius was stupid.
Scorpius sighed. "If she pauses before she says hi, though, do you think that means she's just too scared to talk to me? You know, I never say hi first. Should I say hi first?"
"Well, you know if she pauses for more than five seconds that means she's sleeping with someone else but she really loves you," Albus said, taking all his energy not to roll his eyes.
"Really?" Scorpius asked, not sure whether to feel happy or sad about this.
"No!" Albus screamed. "Bloody hell, Scorpius."
Later that day…
"Gird your loins," Frank announced as he strolled into the Gryffindor common room. Scorpius and Albus were already in there just chilling by the fire.
"For what?" Albus said, almost afraid to ask.
"Boys night out tomorrow at the Four Broomsticks."
"Three Broomsticks," Albus corrected.
Frank ignored him. "Drinks on me!"
Scorpius rolled his eyes. "They're not gonna let you in after last time. You nearly burned down the joint. You were so drunk, you hit on a woman!"
"Just Madam Rosemerta," Frank smirked. He acted like he wasn't proud of it. But he was. "She's a man in disguise anyway."
"You would know having felt her up," Scorpius murmured.
About that time, Roy walked in. His hands were full with seven books stacked atop each other one by one. Frank saw him and immediately put his arm around him. "Hey, buddy. Let me get those for ya," he said, grabbing four of the books from his stack and placing them on the table. Frank then put his arm around Roy and was cheeky smiling.
Roy stared at him. "…what?"
"Boys night out tomorrow. Drinks on me and you're comin' with us."
Roy didn't protest but he didn't look particularly excited. "Oh boy. Let me find a container for my innermost joy."
That was good enough for Frank. "See, Scorp, Roy wants to go," as if Roy was the deciding factor. Roy rolled his eyes, sat on the ground, and began to read one of his books.
"I'm not in the mood for 'drinks'. At least not your version of it anyway."
"I think you'll go," Frank said. He was smiling his 'I know something you don't know smile' and looking at Scorpius like he was in love with him. His hands were folded and he was leaning over the seat, close enough to kiss his forehead.
"Oh, really? What makes you so sure of that?"
"Because someone is celebrating her 16th birthday at the Four Broomsticks."
"Three," Albus corrected.
"Shut up, old man," Frank spat. Frank then winked at Scorpius who finally understood. Albus got it to, and was not amused.
The old man thing? Oh yeah, that. See, it is a well-known fact that Albus Dumbledore was one of the greatest wizards of all time. It is also a well-known fact that Albus Dumbledore lived to be 235 years old (not really). The fact that Albus was named after a million year old man puts him at sort of a disadvantage. What Harry Potter was thinking in naming that poor child, jee, only J.K. Rowling knows.
"Is that why we're going? To stalk my baby sister?" Albus said, his temper rising again.
"I do not stalk your sister!" Scorpius argued.
"What's her favorite shirt?" Roy asked, not lifting his eyes from his book.
"Her green and black striped collared shirt, duh! She wears it like every Monday. It buttons down to the wrist and is cut at the hips." Everyone stared at him. "What?"
"Yeah, you're not stalking her. Sure," Roy retorted.
Another lovely little bit of all their personalities. I hope you guys are enjoying my take on Scorpius, Albus, Neville's son and the OC, Roy, that I know you all just love (: I quite enjoy writing them.
