Chapter 2

Lily was happy. "What's got you so happy?" Rosa asked.

"Scorpius asked me to date him and I said yes!" Lily said brightly "I've never had a boyfriend before."

"I'm sure you're broher will be happy with that,"Chloe said. "Ah, I wish James would ask me out."

"I'm sure you two will be end up together if your keep at it, but don't be too pushy and make him think you're some kind of stalker," Lily said. "I know James so I know you two would be great for eachother. You love James. James loves James. It's perfect." Lily laughed.

"Ha ha. I'm sure there's more to us getting together than us liking James. James is so nice and brave and good at grades and sports. He's just everything I 'd want in a man," Chloe said.

"You'll have to fight with the other members of the James Potter Fan Club for James' affections," Rosa pointed out.

"Well I m clearly the best choice." Chloe said.

Lily laughed. "it's odd talking about dating my older brother."

"Yeah I'm sure that's d be odd. It's not like we're talking about Albs," Rosa pointed out.

"Well you know he's into Alek," Chloe said.

"The two are just friends," Lily said.

"Can't you see it? Alek clearly loves Albus. Remember last year when those kids beat up Albus right? Alek beat the crap out of each of them. He was able to get out of I because he was defending Albus from being attacked again."

"Well I can see James doing something like that," Lily said.

"James wouldn't go as far as Alek went. Those students are sent to St. Mungos. I think they can come back this year," Rosa said.

"Yeah. It was really scary when we found those boy's bodies all mangled. How the hell is Alek get out of being punished for that? Lily asked.

"I don't want to know anymore that that I do," Rosa stated."But look they're going to start the sorting.

"Luis!" Zeke called, moving to sit next to him, Ben on the other side. "It's great to see you up and about. We were so worried when you were in that accident. We wanted to come see you in the hospital, and our parents are muggles so they didn't even know how to get there to see you."

"Yeah I was worried you'd die or something," Ben said. "Still going to work with Dragons over the summer and as a profession?" Zeke asked.

"I do. Dragons are dangerous. I always knew something bad might happen. It's a job I've wanted since I was little. Just because I got injured doesn't mean I'm going to stop," Luis said.

"It's a shame there's no quidditch this year. I mean, you're good enough to go profession. I bet you're still just as good now as you were last year,"Zeke said.

"Yeah no one could beat anyone," Ben agreed.

"You're both seventh years. Do you think you'll put your name in for being champion?" Luis asked the pair.

"Nah. I'm not all about all that danger. Zeke's going to put his name in right?" Ben asked.

"Yeah. I think I can win it for us,"Zeke said. "I mean, I feel I can do anything they through att me."

Luis laughed. "Well if it's you or James I'm sure we'll win."

"Ah yeah, James. I hope it isn't champion. He's so egoistical,"Zeke said.

"And you're not?"Ben asked.

"Shut up."Zeke said. "It's not my fault that I'm amazing."

Luis and Ben laughed. "I missed you guys."

"Of course you'd miss me. Why wouldn't you miss me?" Zeke asked.

"Should we talk to the first years?" Luis asked.

"Let them be among themselves for now. I mean, let the more social of us can deal with them," Zeke said.

"I guess it doesn't matter that you're the quiddich team caption," Ben said. "Since it doesn't matter with no quiddich this year. ''

"Yeah it sucks. I wanted to play my last year here, but there's nothing can be done. But, hopefully, I'll be the school's champion so I'll be doing something fun."

"I do hope you get to be champion,"Luis repeared.

"Yeah. It'll be fun to meet students from other schools Maybe I'll meet a cute French girl," Zeke said.

"Hey what about me?" Ben asked.

Zeke laughed. "Of course you'll always be my number one." Zeke and Ben had been dating for a few years now.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

"James," Lily started, "I'm dating Scorpius."

"What?" James nearly screamed. "I'll kill him."

"N-no you won't. He's my boyfriend and you can't change that."

"But he's a Slythin!"

"So is Albus."

"Albus is different. He's family."

"Maybe I see Scorpius as famly."

"James let her be," Asher said.

"Yeah Scorpius isn't a bad kid. Top of his grade, was a start quidditch player-"

"He was never better than me at quidditch," James cut off David.

"It doesn't matter. You should give them a chance," Asher said.

"Fine. I said it before I'll stay it again. If he hurts you he's dead," James said. Lily ran off, probably off to her boyfriend James frowns. "Out of everyone she could date why is it Scorpius?"

"I'm sure your Uncle Ron will be happy when he hears it," David said.

"Yeah he'll be so angry. He'll be worse than I am. The only thing that would be worse for him would be if Rose was dating him,"James agreed.

"I just hope Uncle Ron doesn't send a howler over this. That would be sad,"Asher said.

"I think it's lovely," Lorcan said.

"how long have you been there?" James asked

"Doesn't matter. I think it's cute. Star crossed lovers. Two kids in love despite there family's wishes," he smiled. "I think it's just lovely."

"If you say so," James said.

"I do say so." He put his arms around James's shoulders. "Keep an open eye on those two. I'm sure it'll be a cute couple."

"Get off," James said, shaking him off. "Fine. I won't get in the way of their relationship."

"Good!" Lorcan. "Well it's time to go back to our dorms. Let's go I"m tired."
