Enjoy and please review!

Lily felt his lips touching hers. His arms were embracing her slim waist and she decided to let go and let herself live in the here and now. As always, this short, blissful moment was interrupted by thoughts. Thoughts of Scorpius. Oswald was clinging to her, his eyes alight with an unspeakable flame. He was beautiful. His irises were jade and emerald. His hair even longer than usual... but he'd never be him. A sudden sadness mixed with shame clenched her heart. She closed her eyes picturing a tall, willowy body. Silver gaze cutting through sapphire. But those lips... She couldn't pretend. They were unique. Unmistakable.

" Lily, we need to head off to charms!" Hugo broke her reverie. It was late.

" Os, see you afterwards... bye!"

" See you!" he smiled. She could see he was really happy and didn't want to spoil his joy, so she kept her feelings for herself. They had been together since school had begun two months before and all the kids had finally stopped gossiping about them. It was a fact: Harry Potter's daughter was officially dating Oswald McLaggen. The only one who seemed not to adjust to the idea was Scorpius. Shame on him. He kept on glaring whenever she was with him. He was a newly appointed prefect and meeting him in the corridors had become a frequent occurrence. At least he had kept his promise. He had let her go. Forever. But Lily knew that forever was way a long time. She was only 15 and he 17...

OoO

" Come on, Lils! Let's get out of the common room!"

" But it's late! What if prefects catch us?" meaning what if Scorpius caught us?

" Who cares! Come on, at least we can spend some time alone" he winked.

" You win this time." She let him drag her out of the portrait and through the corridors, in search of a quiet, secluded place. They found shelter in a little alcove not far from the dungeons. Oswald pushed her against the wall and started to kiss her. No one was around to interfere and it seemed right to spend some quality time with her boyfriend. She kissed him back passionately and threw her arms around his neck. Minutes passed or maybe ages. Oswald broke his sweet assault looking deeply in her eyes " Lily... I... I think I love you. I love your hair... so red... as red as fire. And your eyes... blue jewels. Your lips... so soft on mine..." he cockily smirked. She smiled the most beautiful smile and kissed him back. He didn't seem to notice she hadn't actually returned his declaration. Or didn't seem to matter anyway. She felt her heart lighten up. She was more then happy for what he had just admitted. But she wasn't ready to requite his feelings. Not yet.

" Well, well... Shouldn't you two be in your common room at this time of the night? Instead of being down here? Engaged in such an... improper behaviour," a cold voice crushed their timeless moment. Lily whipped her head to its direction. She couldn't believe her eyes. Scorpius was there, his stare burning with anger. If look could kill... A shiver ran through her back. She thought he had never been more scary and beautiful at the same time. His cheeks were aflame, his hair all ruffled up. He had probably been brushing his fingers through it all the evening.

" Hey, Malfoy..." Oswald looked visibly nervous. A punishment was inevitable now. " I took her here. It's my fault. Please, let her go and punish me as you see fit. Lily has got nothing to do with my little stunt..."

" Oh, but she has got everything to do with your little stunt. That's quite... obvious." She could feel he was trying to restrain his rage. " Well, McLaggen I say we take off some time from your beloved quidditch practice. You'll serve detention with Filch, helping him clean up the dungeons. As for you Potter, come with me. We'll see in what state you are tomorrow morning after a sleepless night. I did need someone to keep watch with me. It seems I've found them," he sneered.

" But -"

" No buts, Potter. Do not question my authority. I am a prefect. You, McLaggen, can go back to your dormitories."

" I'm sorry, Os..." she said, not daring to look him in the eye.

" It's my fault, Lils. I am sorry. See you tomorrow..." He left, shoulders hunched over in shame and defeat. Lily remained still for a moment waiting for his boyfriend to be at a safe distance. Then hell broke loose.

" Do not question my authority?" she mocked. "Really, you're a pathetic idiot!" she shouted in his face.

" I wasn't the one snogging my girlfriend after curfew. You earned yourselves a detention."

" Oh, of course... You wouldn't snog poor, brainless Rosie at this time of the night, because you're a good mannered pureblooded git..." she said coating venom with sugar. He gripped her shoulders and she was once again pushed hard against the stone wall of the castle. Ouch!

" Stop talking this way. Now."

" Sorry for offending your sweet girlfriend."

" She is not my sweet girlfriend."

" Yeah, sure."

" Stop it!"

" Why are you so angry? Don't you like Rosie? Or don't you like Oswald?"

" You've passed the limit, Potter."

" What now? Are you going to hex me?" she smirked.

" I might. Don't forget I'm much more powerful than you are." Cocky bastard!

" How scary! I'm sure I can beat the crap out of you any time. And tell, me... how would you explain to Oswald that you've hexed me?"

" Don't. Mention. His. Name. Again."

" Are you jealous?"

" Merlin, Potter. Shut up!"

" No-" she couldn't finish her sentence. Already he had captured her lips with his, making it impossible for her to talk. She put up some kind of resistance, but his hold was too strong. She couldn't escape. And maybe, the idea of never being able to escape wasn't that bad. The hold of his arms was relentless. Possessive. As if she were his. Just and only his. At last her hands found their way back through his hair. She missed the feeling of its softness. As their kiss got more forceful and passionate, she pulled his blonde locks. As in retaliation he crushed his body to hers. She was trapped and she could hardly breathe. But he was her oxygen. No one would ever replace him. He was Scorpius Malfoy. Her personal heaven in hell. He pulled away from her mouth and attacked her neck. He stopped just for a moment to tear off her robe and tie. " You smell like him. You reek of him..." he looked angry, manic. She pulled his head back to her neck and he resumed his restless nuzzling, kissing, biting. She got bold kissing softly his ear, whispering sweet nothings. After taking off her tie, her shirt had remained partly unbuttoned. As soon as he noticed, his kisses moved down. She gasped. Her hands went down to feel his strong neck and take him back to her lips, which were eager to kiss him again. He obliged while getting rid of his robe. She could feel his strong chest grazing against her breast. One hand moved down to gently brush her thigh but froze there.

" You know this can't last forever? Tomorrow morning everything will go back to the way it's supposed to be..." his words were filled with regret. She smiled a sad smile and nodded. She moved away from him and gathered her things from the floor. " I assume, my detention is finished..."

Or maybe it has just begun...

" Before you go, there is something you should see..." he pulled out his wand and pointed it at her. She froze, eyes wide with fear. What was he doing? A memory, long lost, came rushing back to her. And she saw. After all this time she finally saw.

Hope you liked it ^^
