Ch 9: Dinner with the Parents

A few days later, I was sitting in the kitchen eating a sandwich when Lily came over. "Lorcan, what are you doing on Wednesday?" She asked all sweetly.

"Nothing." I took a bit of my sandwich. "Why?" I said with food in my mouth.

"I want you to come to dinner with me at my parents." She asked with those big green eyes. I couldn't say no.

"Sure, but you have to have dinner with my parents." I said.

"Okay." She kissed me on the cheek. "Oh, Lorcan when you're at my parents please don't talk with your mouth full." I roll my eyes at her back. I sat back and finish my sandwich.

Standing in front of the house that I been to million of times. Lily grabbed my hand. "Everything will be okay. They love you." She gave my hand a squeeze.

"Yeah, they love me as Al's friend or Luna's son not as their daughter's boyfriend." I said as we walk up to the front door. Lily opened the door to the front hall where we found her two older brothers. They stood with their arms crossed over their chest.

"What are you two doing here. I thought that you both had plans tonight, so you were not going to be here." Lily gave her brothers a look. It could kill them.

"When we heard he was coming over. We had to make sure that he was treating you good." James returned the look.

"He has a name. His name is Lorcan and you known him since you were little." Lily went for her wand. Al and James drew their wands, too.

"Is everything okay." Harry Potter voice broke though the tension. All of his childern put their wands away. Lily and I turn to find Harry standing in the front doorway. I look around the three Potter kids; they all had a smile on. They nodded not saying anything. Harry smiled a knowing smile. He puts out his hand towards me. "Hello, Lorcan. I think Ginny made steak and kidney pie for dinner."

I shook his hand. "Hi, Mr. Potter." I didn't know what to call him.

"Call me Harry." He led me through his childern to the back of the house where his wife was making dinner. Lily was right behind us.

She was talking under her breath. I think I heard "I hate them." I had to smile at that. "Mum, why did you have to have boys." Lily asked her mother, who was standing by the stove checking on the food.

"Honey, my brothers did the same thing to your father and he saved the wizarding world. You only have two. I had five of them on Harry." Ginny smiled. "They knew your father since he was eleven. Don't worry about it. If Lorcan can take this dinner, he will be okay." After she said my name, she smiles at me. "Hello, Lorcan. How is your mother?" She made it seem like I was a friend coming over for dinner.

"Mum doing good. Dad and her just got back from their trip to France." I smiled.

"That great." Ginny turns to her daughter. "Take Lorcan to the sitting room while I have your brothers set the table." Lily smiled, grabbed my hand, and led me from the room. I heard her brothers moan as we left the room. I think they are going to hear an earful from their mother.

When we got to the sitting, Lily let go of my hand. "I'm sorry about my brothers." I pull her in my arms. I gave her a kiss.

"It's okay. They are your brother that I have to deal with because I want to be with you." I whisper against her lips before I deepen the kiss. She wraps her arms around my neck as I pull her as close as I can.

"Oi! That is something I don't want to see." Al screamed from the doorway. Lily buries her head in my shirt. I turn us around to look at Al.

"Is there something you need, Al." I asked not letting Lily go.

"Dinner is ready." Al left the room as soon as he said that.

Lily pulls her head up. "Is he gone?" Her green eyes looked into mine.

"Yes, we should get to dinner." She nods and pushes out of my arms. She grabs my hand and we leave the room.

After we are all seated and food was handed out, Al and James started to question me. "Are you treating her good?"

"Yes." I took a bit of my pie. "This is good." I complimented Ginny.

"Thank you." She blushes. Al and James kept questioning me until their father made them stop.

"Boys. You know him now leave him alone. Trust your sister." He turns to me. "What do you do?" Harry asked me.

"I'm a reporter for the Daily Prophet and I'm working on a book about my travel." I told him.

"How do you write about nine years in one book?" Harry asked.

"It may be more then one." I took a drink of butterbeer. Harry nodded. The rest of dinner there was talking and laugher.

After dinner, Lily and I did the dishes, we spend most of the time making out. We hugged her parents goodbye before we left.

When we got home, Lily asked me. "I hope my brothers were okay?"

I pull her my arms. "They were fine." I kiss her. "Do I get a reward for surviving dinner with your family." Her eyes had a sparkle in them; she kissed me and broke out of my arms.

"There your reward." She walked away. I couldn't take the sway of her hips.

"Oh, no you don't." I ran after her and grabbed her around the waist. I gave her a deep kiss that made her melt in my arms. "That is a reward." I left her breathless, standing in front of her door. I had a smirk on my face as I walk in my room and close the door.

Lily Pov

"Lily, are you ready to go." Lorcan shouted from the fireplace. He was getting impatient waiting for me.

"I'm coming." I grab my earring and run out to the sitting room to find Lorcan pacing across the fireplace. "I'm sorry." I lean up and kiss him on the cheek. I grab the floo powder from him and leave him standing in the sitting room.

I flooed into the sitting room at Luna and Rolf's home. I move out of the way for Lorcan to come in, who floo in a minute later. He gives a look telling me he was not happy with me. I return it with a smile and walk out of the room.

We found Luna in the kitchen making dinner for us. She was talking to her son Lysander, who was in the corner drinking a butterbeer. Lorcan came in right after me. He went over to his mother and gave her a hug.

"Hello, mother." He kissed her on the cheek. "Hey, Lysander." He waves to his brother. "Where is Dad?"

Luna eyes darken. "Your father is still at the office. He should be home soon." As soon as she said that, we heard the door open and someone coming down to the kitchen.

"Sorry, I'm late, love." Rolf Scamander walk in and only had eyes for Luna.

Luna couldn't stay mad at him for long because she smiles when he said he was sorry. "You're forgiven. Now get your sons out of here so I can talk to Lily."

"Mum," Lorcan was nervous for me.

"Everything going to be okay, Lorcan." Luna pushed her men out of the room. "Now, we can have a girl talk." I had to laugh. "How is your mother?" She asked casually.

"She is good," I smiled. "But that not what you want to talk about."

"You are so much like your mother." Luna sired something in the pot. "What are your feeling towards my son?"

"He's a good guy." I started to turn red. "He great cook. He is…"

"I'm not asking if he a great guy. I should know if he is a great guy, I raised him." Luna cut up some onion. "I'm asking if you love him?"

I could feel my face heat up. "I think I love him." I realize that I love him. That I still love him after nine years. "I do love him."

Luna smiled. "Good. Now call the boys to dinner." I got off the chair that I was sitting on and walked to the kitchen to call the men in.

We sat down for dinner and it was an easy conversation. I don't remember laughing this much. Lorcan and Lysander were joking around with each other. They acted like they were five-year-old again. Luna and Rolf were trying to be annoyed at them.

"Lorcan, you think you can act your age when your girlfriend around." Lysander laughed.

"She understand with her family." Lorcan gave me a look. "When I had dinner with her family, I thought they were eleven again with pulling out their wands on each other." I hit him on the head. "Ouch." Lorcan rubs his head and looks at me. "What was that for?"

"Don't make fun of my family. I didn't make fun of you and your brother." I took bit of the cake that Luna had made.

"She got you there, bro." Lysander laughed. Lorcan didn't say a word; he had on a light blush on his face as I lean over to kiss him. Soon we were all laughing.

"That was fun." I smiled as I flooed into our flat.

"Yeah, making fun of me was fun." Lorcan sat on the couch.

"Do you feel unloved." I sit on his lap and wrap my arms around his neck. He nodded. "Maybe, I can make it all better." I get off his lap and help him up. I lead him to my room and shut the door behind him.

Third Person

Ginny walks in the café were she found Luna at a table already. She took a seat. "How was dinner at your house?" Ginny asked Luna after she orders her tea.

"Well she is in love with him." Luna's eye sparkled.

"So, when are we going to plan the wedding." Ginny had on a big smile.

"Soon."
