Hate

And so, they remained hating each other, until one eventful day when the moon was out and the stars were shining, the two found something they had never found before.

Letters.

Lily found one from Scorpius, stashed away in her backpack.

Dear Lily,

They say the stars shine brighter when the moon is out. That's exactly how I feel about you

No, I wouldn't say I got lucky by meeting you.

Luck has nothing to do with it.

I like to think that it was fate that brought us together.

But we couldn't be kept apart.

I know you hate me.

I know you do.

But this is just a declaration. I love you.

SHM-P

And Scorpius found a similar one, on the floor of the common room.

Scorpius,

I'm sorry.

Sorry that i let you slip through my fingers,

Sorry that I didn't tell you I loved you,

Sorry that you had to read my declaration of hate,

And to be honest, I'm just sorry.

LLP-M

The two hugged the letters to their chest, wanting to fly.

And so Lily ran. Where she was going, she didn't know. But she ran. 

Scorpius walked. He walked at a brisk pace, turning corners and looking behind him.

They met at the 7th floor corridor, both looking the other way, and bumped into each other.

It took a moment for Scorpius to realize that he had bumped into the love of his life.

It took a moment for Lily to realize she was right about his feelings.

Scorpius held Lily's hands to his chest and kissed her.

And once they started kissing, they didn't care who saw them.
