LILY
I decided to talk to Rohan on Monday. I really didn't want to ruin my first weekend. I knew he had double potions at the end of the day so I thought I would catch him in the dungeons. I went down after my Transfigurations class. Unless there was a serious disaster Proudfoot usually let everyone off a little late so I knew I wouldn't miss him.
Rohan and Scorpius left the class together. 'Hi.' I said nervously. 'Could I talk to you?' I asked looking at Rohan. Scorpius just raised his eyebrows. 'I'll wait for you at the stairs mate.' He said and swaggered off towards the staircase. We went back into the now empty classroom. Ro looked at me for a bit. 'So what happened, last year I mean?' I asked in a weird high-pitched voice, which he luckily did not seem to notice.
'I don't know,' he said, 'you tell me. I mean it's not like I didn't try to talk to you about it. You avoided me like the plague. Every time I came near you, you would either call Nick or Ariana. I think you even pretended to injure yourself once.'
'It was complicated.' I tried to explain. 'You and Ariana were in a relationship. You didn't even want me; I was your consolation prize. Oh we can't get the gorgeous blonde to commit let's go for her stupid little friend.' I let my bitterness colour my words. 'You know that was my first kiss right?' I said angrily. 'It was supposed to be special and magical and happen with someone who really liked me, it wasn't supposed to be with my best friend's boyfriend.' I could feel the tears run down my cheeks. 'It wasn't fair!' I yelled. Every feeling I had bottled up for the last six months burst out. I don't really know when it happened but Rohan was holding me and it felt so good. 'I'm so sorry Lil,' he said stroking my head. 'You actually cannot know how truly sorry I am.'
'Did you ever really like me?' I asked, once I started breathing properly.
'Yes, I did. You were nice and easy to talk to, which at that point Ariana certainly wasn't. Had I really really wanted to kiss you for two weeks before I actually did? Yes, yes I had wanted to, but if I had known that doing something that stupid would cause you to stop treating me as a friend I would never have done it. I'm never going to take any chances with our friendship again.'
I smiled at him and impulsively kissed him lightly on the lips. 'I love you Ro, but it's probably wouldn't work out.' I said.
He was still looking a little shocked but he managed a smile and said 'Yeah you're probably right.'
He dropped me to my common room and though I knew things would never be quite the same well at least this was a start. I really did like him, but not in that way. Smiling slightly I went to tell Rose what happened.
SCORPIUS
So I really just meant to wait by the stairs. But I heard shouting. Well it was mostly just Potter shouting. 'It wasn't fair!' I heard. Curious, I walked to the door. It wasn't closed properly but I could still just see Lily, her shoulders shaking as she sobbed. Suddenly she was in Thomas' arms. I heard them whisper something and I saw her place a gentle kiss on his mouth. Suddenly I had a weird sensation in my stomach; I slowly turned around and walked up the stairs. It didn't really look like they would require my company.
