I don't know why, but I suggest listing to Rolling in the Deep by Adele to set the mood, I guess I think it's ScorpiusxLily's song. Hope you enjoy next chapter!

"Scorpius." I reply once again.
"Scorpius Malfoy?" she asks again, "Why can't I like who I like?" I nearly scream at her, what's wrong with liking a Malfoy? Scorpius isn't bad. Not like his father used to be. It's not fair, why does everyone blame him for his father's actions? This annoys me so much, even if I've just embarrassed myself in front of my whole house, and news travels really quickly in Hogwarts, just my luck.
"It's just a shock – Uncle Ron told the whole family to stay clear of him the first time Scorpius came to Hogwarts." She answers me, not really answers – more like warns me to stay away from him, but I can't no matter how long I live I will never be able to stay away from Scorpius and his deep grey eyes.
"It's not fair, why does everyone judge him by his father's ways?" I ask Victorie, who's still trying to understand what's going on herself.
"It's how life is, but you could always go on doing what you are doing now, not caring what anyone else says because you know he's not the same person as his father." She replies, finally in an even voice.
"Finally, someone reasonable." I reply, which makes her confused even more!
"What do you mean.. Someone reasonable?" She asks me, looking directly in my eyes. "Everyone today, just everyone's been unreasonable. James suddenly has this girlfriend he's been dating behind myself and Al's back, then Roxanne gets a crush on Scorpius and breaks up with George, after that I had told Rose I like Scorpius, I won't get to much into that – but she told Roxanne which is why now Scorpius knows; I have a crush on him, you might think that's ok, but it isn't – not when the whole school knows as well." I answer her, she takes a few minutes to digest this into her mind, it's amazing all this can happen in one day.
"Well, this seems like what happened to me once, well – me and Teddy that is, but that's another story, I think you should go back inside, and endure what's waiting for you, it won't do you any good staying out here, it just makes it worse. To all those people in your house, they are going to think Roxanne should be the one crying, so don't be too harsh on their judgments, good luck." She replies, vanishing back to wherever Victorie was before, how she knows all this is a wonder.
I wait another 5 minutes, I know I shouldn't, I can't help it. Eventually I get up, head to the common room. I knew I should have waited longer – Roxanne is being held in a hug by one of the older Slytherin girls, and she's crying, I walk past her – thankfully the older girl doesn't spot me.
Once I reach the bedroom, I find Albus and James waiting there for me.
"You guys aren't supposed to be here!" I reply, trying to keep my voice down, it's one thing to have boys in your room. But to have another house person here is forbidden.
"Yeah, well.. Albus said you seemed pretty upset, but it looks' like Roxanne is crying her eyes out." James replies darkly, his eyes aren't the same as normal, they have a blank look about them, staring at me. "Look, it's not my fault that Scorpius doesn't like her, why don't you throw her a pity party instead?" I ask him, while Al just stares at me open mouthed.
"What's happened to you Lily? It's him isn't it, I knew this would happen." James replies, passing not even a glance in my direction.
"James has a point Lily, family before boys. Well, in my case girls." Albus replies, trying to be reasonable.
"Well it doesn't matter for you? Does it? You don't even like anyone, and I – I liked him before she did." I reply, moments after I realize what I said, Albus and James stare at me like I've gone mad.
"YOU LIKE THAT MALFOY, NOT ONLY THAT MALFOY, YOU LIKE A MALFOY!" James screams,
"It can't be that hard to believe James, you are dating a bookworm." Albus tells him. James gives Albus a death glare, and just my luck – Scorpius enters the room, as soon as he realizes the commotion, he stands there awkwardly, while both my brothers happen to give him death glares, while I do nothing but stare at my feet.
