Okay chapter 5! Sorry for the wait on this I've had abit of writers block. I hope the length of the chapter makes up for the wait.
Also I had a review from anon asking me to describe people more so I tried to add in a couple of description in, I hope they are good enough:)
Enjoy!
Harry Potter sat behind his desk in the Auror department and was for once at a loss for words. It was impossible! No not impossible, Sirius had done it. But Sirius had been an illegal animagus, Harry reminded himself. It wasn't impossible that they were both animaguses but it was highly unlikely Harry decided.
But why now? Harry asked himself for the millionth time. Why, after 25 years, were former Death Eaters choosing to rebel now? And better yet how had two of them managed to escape the confinements of Azkaban?
A very bored Lily Potter leaned her head on her hand and stared out the window trying her best not to fall asleep. She currently sat in History of Magic wondering why she hadn't already dropped the class. Probably because it's so damn easy she decided. At the moment Professor Binns was lecturing the class on the Second Wizarding War. And Lily, being the daughter of Harry Potter and all, pretty much knew everything there was to know about the war. So there she sat thinking of none other than one Scorpius Malfoy and the strange encounter they had shared earlier that morning.
Lily made her way slowly towards the Gryffindor common room so she could dispose of her possessions and gather her books for the day. She was in no particular hurry as it was still quite early. It was nice to have a few moments alone and away from all her crazy cousins.
Scorpius was following Lily hoping to catch her alone. He was earning himself many curious looks as he was headed in the opposite direction of most people and his common room just happened to be in the complete opposite direction.
Lily ducked behind a tapestry and into a little used passageway. Its presence was known only to those who had a knack for finding and causing trouble or those who had enchanted maps of the school. So basically the Potters and the Weaslys.
Scorpius saw Lily disappear into what appeared to be the wall. He followed behind her to discover a passage he didn't know existed. 'How was it that the Potters and the Weaslys seem to know everything about the school?' he wondered to himself.
Lily slowed her steps as she realized she wasn't alone. Curious as to who had joined her she touched her wand lightly against her father's old map. But before she could say the famous words a familiar person popped around the corner. His hair was blonder than ever and his blue-grey eyes appeared to be more blue than grey at the moment. Lily realized, and not exactly for the first time either, how attractive Scorpius really was. She felt her neck and cheeks flush a bit when she realized she had been staring to long. She quickly recovered and glanced down at her feet. "What are you doing here Malfoy?" She asked him, a scowl plastered on her face.
Now it has Sropius's turn to blush. He couldn't exactly tell a beautiful girl that was two years younger than him that he had been following her. He frowned slightly trying to find a way to phrase his words without coming off as a creepy stalker. In the end he settled on being his classic arrogant self. "I could ask you the same thing," He said almost lazily.
Lily sighed loudly. She wasn't in the mood. "I'm not in the mood for this Malfoy" she told him voicing her thoughts. "You either need something or you don't. And frankly I've got better things to be doing than play guessing games with you in a deserted corridor!"
Scorpius couldn't help but smirk a bit at how angry she seemed. God she was fun to mess with! However fun it was to mess with Lily Potter, Scorpius forced himself to focus on the task at hand. "Okay fine. I followed you here!" He blurted out rather awkwardly as he couldn't think of anything else to say.
Lily was rather taken aback by his confession. Him? Following her? It didn't make any sense. It occurred to her that he could be lying. "Why?" she asked him suspiciously.
Scorpius sighed visibly frustrated. Why couldn't she just understand? "I, I just need to talk to you." He said a bit unsurely.
Lily sighed and began walking again, motioning for Scorpius to follow her. "Well then talk. I don't have all day you know," She told him wondering what exactly he was getting at.
Scorpius fell into step with Lily trying to decide how best to phrase his words. He opened and closed his mouth several times before speaking. "Are you dating Josh Zambini?" He finally asked.
Lily glanced over at him, more than a bit surprised. That was not what she was expecting. Well she hadn't really known what to expect but that was most defiantly not it. She debated not answering the question but that would make it seem as though she had something to hide. "Not exactly," she said a smile playing on her face. "Not that it's any of your business anyways," she added quickly, her smile turning into a scowl.
Scorpius sighed, visibly frustrated at this point. Why couldn't she just, well Scorpius wasn't exactly sure what he wanted from Lily. "Not exactly?" He questioned, "What's that supposed to mean?"
Lily sighed, again. How exactly was she supposed to explain this to him? And better yet why was she bothering to try? "Like I said it's none of your business," she told him. It's not like they were friends, more like enemies actually, so why should she tell him what was between her and Josh. And why did he care? "And why do you even care?" She asked voicing her thoughts.
Scorpius had been afraid of this. And to tell the truth he didn't know why he cared or even if he did. But nevertheless he was here talking to Lily and he was determined to say what he wanted to say and put the incident behind him. "Look Josh and I have been mates ever since we were little and I know him." Scorpius paused he could still back out now; he had absolutely no reason to keep talking.
The two teenagers had reached the end of the hidden corridor and Lily stepped in front of Scorpius, blocking the entrance back into the more used halls. "Get to the point Malfoy," Lily said bouncing with impatience.
"So the thing is, Josh is the kinda guy that uses girls for one reason," Scorpius trailed off towards the end of his sentence counting on Lily to fill in the blanks.
Lily snorted and tried her best not to laugh. "So you followed me here and wasted my time all to tell me some guy is just using me to get into my pants?"
Scorpius suddenly felt embarrassed. Why had he thought this was a good idea? He didn't just say anything instead he just nodded and looked anywhere but at Lily.
"Why?" Lily asked him. She was more than a bit confused by his actions. The whole thing made no sense! Scorpius Malfoy (Malfoy!) of all people decided to warn her that some guy she was barely dating just wanted to get into her pants. "You know what? Never mind," she told him turning to leave the hidden hallway. "Besides I don't really care anyways. It's not like I'm a virgin!"
And with that, she was gone.
Lily began to absentmindedly braid her hair, still pondering the days events. Her hair happened to be her best and favorite feature. She had inherited neither her Mum's red hair nor her Dad's darker hair. Instead her hair was a mix of the two colors resulting in a dark auburn. People always asked her if she ever considered getting it cut, but she really hadn't. She loved the long wavy locks that fell down her back almost reaching her waist.
Lily's bright blue eyes surveyed the classroom around her. This was the one class none of her friends were taking anymore; they had all dropped the class this year, not wanting to take an O.W.L. in the subject. The class now consisted of mostly Ravenclaws with a few nerdier Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs in the mix and very few Slytherins. When the bell rang signaling the end of class Lily bolted from the room not wanting to endure another moment in the room.
Things at Malfoy Manor were far less than perfect. In fact at the moment they were quite awful. Draco sat beside his wife, Astoria, who lay unmoving on their bed. Draco new he could lie to himself all he wanted but in the end he knew his wife's current state was his fault and solely his. Astoria Malfoy was not dead nor was she in any pain. In fact she was quite safe, just simply in a deep and cursed sleep that Draco could not bring her out of no matter how hard he tried. Although her state was not caused directly by Draco's actions he still blamed himself.
You see Draco liked to think he had changed over the years. He liked to think he was no longer on the 'dark' side but rather the good one. He held a job at the ministry-not an extremely important one mind you but a job nonetheless- and many people had been kind enough to overlook his past mistakes. But Draco knew deep down he was no better now than he was at 16.
The one thing Draco had always prided himself on was that he alwaysprotected his family, always. Many of his actions in life were decisions made to protect those he loved. It was the one thing that set him apart from his father, Lucius. But Draco had failed to do even that. He had not protected his wife from being sent into her cursed sleep, and Draco Malfoy failed no one.
He knew his wife would wake up eventually if he did what he was supposed to do. He probably would have done it anyways but Lucius Malfoy had never been one to take chances on his son.
Okay so how was it? It wasn't to terrible was it? Not to confusing? Please, please review:)
The more reviews at get the faster and better the next chapter will be:)
