And that is why I shall never own Harry Potter... or the whole LilyxScorpius thing... I wish I had a time machine so I could go back and steal the manuscripts and copy right them before the genius that is J.K. Rowling did... then I would be Evil... Evil and Rich...

Knight.

'…To E6.' Lily stated and waited for her piece to move. Scorpius looked at her, an amused eyebrow quirked on his fine boned face.

'You can't do that.' He stated. She glared.

'And just why not?' she crossed her arms and pouted. Scorpius chuckled.

'Because, silly, Knights can't move in straight lines.' He gave her a pointed look.

'pfft…' She draped her legs over the sides of the fluffy arm chair and rested her chin on the palm of her hand. 'This game is stupid.' Scorpius resisted the urge to snap at her childishly with the "Your face is stupid" remark as he so often would. He instead settled for a shocked look.

'Don't let your uncle hear you!' he warned her. Lily grinned and stood up, crossing the room to sit on his lap.

'Oh, tosh,' she stroked his cheek bone gently. 'He'll get over it. But it is just sooo boooring.' She sighed dramatically and Scorpius smiled before proceeding to kiss the tip of her nose.

'And who was the one who wanted to learn how to play?' Lily looked guilty for a moment.

'I just wanted to learn because you like it.' She replied shyly. Scorpius tilted his head to one side.

'You did it for me?' Lily nodded. Scorpius kissed her cheek. 'Lil, I don't mind if you don't like it. You don't need to like everything that I do.' Lily bit her lip gently.

'But I can try.' She said as she kissed him lightly.

'But you don't have to.' He stressed. 'I don't like every thing that you like.' He pointed out. Lily smiled at him, leaning in to the comfort of his chest.

'Okay.' She turned back to the chess board on the table. 'Knight to D5.' She said and watched as her piece took the bishop that had previously occupied the square. Scorpius smirked.

'Queen to D5.' His piece moved at command. Lily gasped indignantly as her knight was brutally murdered and thrown off the board. Scorpius quirked an eyebrow and deepened his smirk. 'Check.' Lily growled and poked him hard in the gut.

'I damn my father for these abysmal chess skills.'
