"Lily wake up!" said the voice of whoever was shaking poor Lily from her dreams peace and happiness.

"Oh Rose, leave me be a minute!" Lily said throwing a pillow at her roommate.

"Lily, how long were you awake last night? The candle is practically a puddle of wax!" Rose yelled from beside Lily's small bed.

"Only 1…45." Lily said guilty.

"Just because you're a Slytherin and Malfoy is interested in you doesn't mean you have to be a total troublemaker!" Rose retorted.

"And that right there is why you're here with me!" Lily yelled back.

"I'm sorry but we both know both your mum and dad will kill you if they get wind of this!" Rose said livid with her best friend.

"You think I don't already realize this Rose!" Lily screamed before sitting down tired from that little fit.

"I'm sorry Lily. I truly am. I'm just trying to look out for you." Rose said sitting next to her and hugging her.

"I know let's just get to class before Snape sends my parents another letter." Lily said pulling on her school clothes and running out to the Common room laughing with her best friend.

A little while later they were headed to the Great Hall for breakfast. First thing Lily did was spot Scorpius. Although it was normal for Slytherins to sit together Lily and Scorpius didn't sit together being that Harry and Draco were their parents.

"Lily just sit with him you both look like love sick puppies!" James said.

"Shut up JAMES!" Lily screamed under her breath not wanting anyone to hear what her older brother was saying.

"Oh Lily please you look at that boy like he's water and you've been walking in the desert your whole life." He said rolling his eyes.

"You realize that if I had been wandering all my life I wouldn't know what water was, correct?" Lily said back without missing a beat.

James hated how she had inherited their mother's uncanny ability to come up with a retort.

"Well none the less you look like a desperate little girl." James said.

"Of course the fact that you've known me your whole life doesn't change the fact that I am I girl!" she said.

"Whatever Lily, don't listen to me and do as you please but don't come crying to me when he hurts you!" He said before heading off to the Gryffindor table. Although his sister and cousin were in Slytherin he had made Gryffindor like both his parents and uncle and aunt.

"Lily this boy is getting between you and James!" Rose said pulling her cousin aside.

"No he isn't. James is just being a git!" Lily muttered under her breath.

"Lily Potter! Do NOT call your brother that!" Rose said rather flustered.

"NO!" Lily said in disbelief.

"No what Lilly?" Rose said quizzically.

"You can't possibly mean to tell me you have a crush on my brother, your COUSIN!" Lily said in utter shock and disbelief!

"Lily I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Now if you would be so kind as to let us sit down we're drawing attention standing here arguing in the middle of everything." Rose said steering her best friend over to their table where a few of their friends were waiting.

"You do! I can't believe you Rose I mean really that's repulsive!" Lily said her mind still reeling about her recent revelation.

"Lily, your mind is working on low sleep you're making things up! I was simply defending your family from that wretched snake of a boy you have your heart set on!" Rose said.

"Oh goodness Rosie you sound like Mum!" Lily said exasperated and rolling her eyes.

"Whatever Lily, just don't cry to me when I say I told you so." Rose said solemnly before turning to her food. The rest of their breakfast was spent in silence.

That was when Lily realized that her first class was with Scorpius. This little bit of light completely turned Lily's all but depressing morning around. As Lily got up and slowly skipped out of the Great Hall to her first class Rose said under her breath, "Oh Lily, don't fall to hard. It'll hurt when he isn't there to catch you."
