Hi everyone! Thank you for reviewing the last chapter! I would suggest to read Educating Rita by Willy Russell, I thought I hated it from the start but it gets better; and it even read my mind at one point. Warning, Grammer is purposely bad; only because where the guy based the book the people talk differently; I didn't know this at first until I read the blurb about the author. Anyway if you do decide to pick up the book it's a good and challenging read; even if it's short.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter
"I think- I think I love you." I eventually reply, my face feels so red it might burn to a crisp. I didn't mean to say that, I haven't even worked it out for myself. I can't look at him; I can't even look up. I don't hear a reply from him so I zoom off to the dorms; I hear him calling behind me but I rush into the Slytherin common room and ignore all the stares I receive and run to my dorm. Where I jump on m bed and put my head on the pillow, facing downwards so I can imagine everything doesn't exist. How could I have said that to the boy I can hardly look at- it makes no sense; but in a way- it does.
It's only been minutes since I embarrassed myself to death, okay- not really- since I am still alive; but hey- that's what I feel like. Scorpius tried knocking on my door but I wouldn't answer, even Albus tried to come in, I finally hear the bell for dinner in The Hall. I sigh with utterly complete annoyance; I never thought about showing myself at dinner; the stares from the Slytherin table will be bad- first I make a fuss out of wanting him, now I won't even talk with him. I suppose even I would be angry at myself.
I quickly re-comb my hair into a ponytail before leaving, finding myself sat awkwardly next to Scorpius in the hall, having nowhere else to sit. We act like there's nothing wrong, but I still receive worried glances from Roxanne, Albus and James. We do not talk, the time goes as slowly as possible but ends quickly enough to run out of the hall after. I get up to leave, but he grabs my hand; The Slytherin's don't realize anything is wrong yet, like I mentioned before; so I follow where he takes me.
"Scorpius- Please Let go." I moan when I see we are heading for the Quidditch grounds. "You know what Lilly? No- I will not." He replies, I do not know what to think of this- I am pretty sure he's never refused before like this. In fact, I have never seen a more serious look on his cute face, I quickly try to hide my face trying to hide my blush, but it doesn't work. I didn't even mean to think that.
"What is it?" I surprise myself by asking him when he's finally stopped walking.
"You never waited for my answer." He replies, I shake my head at him in a nodding motion- if I answer with words, right now- looking in his eyes, they will come out wrong.
"Being older... I never really had a crush on you." Scorpius answers me, I instantly look down in embarrassment; what is he trying to tell me? That he never really wanted me in the first place?
"Being said... I have always been in love with you, even if I have never had a crush- I've always been in love with you, Lilly Luna Malfoy." He says, I only raise my eyebrow at his last word; Malfoy- doesn't he mean Potter? Suddenly all these ideas come rushing through my head, he loves me back. "Malfoy?" I ask him in response, his eyes dilate like he doesn't remember saying it.
"What about our Parent's?" I suddenly find myself asking him, I am so sure I gasped when I realized what I said. I feel my eyes popping out of my head, his head is slightly on an angle trying to read my expression- I think.
"Hmmmm... Next weekend?" He asks grinning, I shake my head at his cheerfulness.
Scorpius point of view
After a lot of organizing and embarrassment, today I finally have to meet Lilly's parents. I am slightly nervous and scared at the same time, but I hold myself together in-front of Lilly; I am already receiving natural vibes that she's having second thoughts, for instance- every time I glance to look at her she's twirling her hair around her finger, and somehow biting her lip at the same time, I smile at how innocent she is, maybe we should have meet the parents sooner, we even got special permission from the headmaster to go see them. "Who first?" I finally ask as we stand in front of the fireplace in the Headmaster's office.
She doesn't reply, so instead I ask "Easiest first?" She looks at me weirdly but she shrugs it off, she guesses right and floos (if I have spelt this wrong please feel free to correct me.) first to her parents house. I say the exact same thing as she did and I find myself whizzing through fireplaces of dizziness. I see Lilly's red hair and quickly walk out where I find her two parents waiting for me. "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Potter." I say awkwardly, Harry- I assume, grins at me and in return shakes my hand. As for her mother, she doesn't say anything at all; even her face is neutral.
"Have you two kissed?" She comes right out with the most embarrassing question first. I try to make my blush vanish but she notices just before it fades away.
"Mum..." Lilly suddenly says in an outraged voice, I try pleading with my eyes to make Lilly not do what I think she's about to.
"Lilly, as a mother- I need to know. Have you kissed this boy?" Mrs. Potter snarls at her daughter with a look of disgust on her face, I start playing with my fingers avoiding eye contact.
"Actually, Mum- Yes we have." Lilly actually replies, I feel myself blush even harder than Lilly does herself.
"Few. In my case, haven't kissed the guy- don't start dating the guy." Mrs. Potter suddenly says earning very surprised reactions from myself and Lilly. "Scorpius, It's very nice to meet you. Call me Ginny." She continues, I notice her red hair is exactly like Lilly's not a shade to dark or a shade to light. "It's nice to meet you to, madam." I reply, earning very dilated eyes from Lilly, I mean- I've noticed her eyes are naturally more dilated than the other girls, but this time they widen even more.
"Can we meet your parents?" Ginny asks me, I look at Harry who seems to have a face on him, but I can't tell if it's laughter or generally neutral. "Yes, madam- but they said they would prefer to meet Miss. Lilly here first." I say catching Mrs. Potter's eyes, she actually rolls them and I am pretty sure she mumbled something about Draco. I try really hard not to smirk, I hear from my grandfather the Weasly's do not like Malfoy's at all.
"Do you want us to floo you over?" Harry asks Lilly, I am pretty sure I must have had a shocked face, never would I have thought this meeting would be so short.
Once I find myself in the Malfoy manor, I see my Dad and Mum sitting at the table. My grandfather is in the very far corner of the room. "Please be nice to her." I say loudly enough so he can hear; I do not want this to mess up.
Lilly comes stumbling into the room and nearly trips; if I hadn't caught her she would have fell straight on her face. "Are you ok?" I ask her, when she's finally standing she nods at me and smiles. Earning daggers from my grandfather and a smirk from my own farther.
"You look exactly like your mother did at your age." My father comments to Lilly, she looks at him and smirks back.
"Well the likeness between you and Scorpius is very amusing." Lilly comments, I am sure my face is- well, I don't know, I have never heard a person stand up to my farther like that. "How to keep a man? That's how." My mother replies to Lilly smiling, I glance back to my grandfather who seems to still be expressionless. "Who are you?" Grandfather finally asks; I roll my eyes at the obvious; he very well knows who Lilly is.
"Lilly Luna Potter, Sir; pleasure to meet you." She replies doing a curtsey, my mother; farther and myself have the very same reactions. Why does she be cheeky with my dad- but has respect for my grandfather?
End of chapter, it's a bit long so I didn't know where to end it. Hope you enjoyed, please review- no flames please.
