Lily never had trouble with classes or homework it was quite easy for her. But she hadn't expected the workload they'd get two weeks before exams. In her eyes, the only class that was taking it easy was Charms. There were barely any essays, but mainly just practice on the spells they'd learned. It soon became almost every first yeclass.
"I hate school!" Jace groaned into his open Potions book.
"This sucks! This sucks!" he hissed.
"Don't be a baby, big ears," Lola snapped with a roll of her eyes.
Although she would never admit it, the pressure of all the homework had started to stress her out
"We're first years!" Jace moaned.
"We shouldn't have this much homework!"
"Well we do, so suck it up!" Lola retorted.
"Ok, children," Lily intervened. "Let's just finish these essays." Lily looked over at Jace's work.
"The potion turns green after adding the nettles," she instructed.
Jace looked at what he'd written. His head fell to the table in defeat. "I give up," he muttered.
Lily laughed. "Just fix that, and then finish the essay. I'll help you go over it to make sure it's right."
"You're a lifesaver, Lil," he said in relief.
Lily grinned. "It's in the blood."
***********************************************************************************************
When the day for exams came, you went in the order of your class schedule for the day. That meant that Slytherin and Gryffindor had their Potions exam first. Profhad them make a Forgetfulness Potion. Lily found it to be very easy, and each step was easy to follow. Toward the end, she found that she still had time, so she letlittle longer to produce a better effect when someone would drink it. This was something that Professor Slughorn had bragged about.
"Miss Potter here has made the best I've seen in years. She even remembered that if you let it heat a little longer, the color will change, showing that the effect is more potent, Well done, Miss Potter. Twenty-five points to Slytherin!" Slughorn cheered.
Lily grinned smugly over at Hugo, whose potion had turned into a sickly yellow. When they all left the classroom, Jace hugged Lily tightly."Thank you! Thank you for going over potions with me yesterday!" he thanked.
Lily laughed as he pulled away. "How'd you do?"He grinned.
"Not perfect, but much better than I would have. Mine turned close to the right color!" he exclaimed.
Then he looked over at Lola. "Hey, dirty, 'Lola grinned smugly at him.
"Mine turned exactly the right color. Not a shade different."Jace rolled his eyes.
"And she'll probably never let me forget," he muttered to Lily.
Herbology was next, and the first years had to write a very detailed paper on what Devil's Snare was and what it could do, and then how to pot it correctly. For bonProfessor, Longbottom said that if you could recite the poem that explained how to kill the plant, and then explain what the poem said, he'd add up to five points toscore.Transfiguration followed, and Lily found this one to be the toughest so far. You had to turn a hamster into a deck of cards, and then turn it back. Points got taken ofany hamster-like qualities left on the deck, and points were added if every card was there. Lily held her breath as Professor Bell counted the cards. She let out are when Professor Bell reached fifty-two. Then Lily countered her curse and turned the cards back into a hamster. Professor Bell smiled, congratulating her, and thenLily was thankful that the professor didn't seem to notice the small red heart on the hamster's belly.
"That sucked!" Jace complained as they sat at lunch.
"Professor Bell must hate us! My cards had feet and started running across the table."Lily and Lola hid their laughs behind their hands.
Christian patted Jace's shoulder. "Don't worry, dude, mine blew up when I tried to change it back." Lily and Lola couldn't hide it anymore.
After lunch, they had History of Magic, which was what everyone was dreading. For an hour, they all had to sit in silence and answer a thousand questions on thingsfound necessary. Things like the Self-Stirring Cauldron, Magic Carpets, and who made the first broom. Lily rushed through it, and then when she found she had just sat there, she started going over her answers but found no mistake to fix. So she started to make her quill float around the paper. Then for fun, she tried to maher bottle float. She got it to float, but for only a few seconds before it sloshed back into the bottle.
"I hate history!" Lola seethed.
They were leaving the classroom and making their way through the crowd.
"What happened?" Lily asked.
Lola had never complained about it before."I had a complete blank!" she groaned.
"Like all of that studying flew away!"Jace laughed.
"Don't worry. I didn't do much better. I left a lot of them blank."Lily rolled her eyes at Jace.
"I'll be surprised if you pass to the second year."
Jace laughed. "Second time's the charm."Lola scoffed.
"That's the third time, moron."
Next was Charms, and as the past weeks had shown, the exam was easy. All you had to do was make a vase float around the room. Lily ended up having fun withbook float as well and making a quill write on a piece of parchment. Professor Flitwick had laughed with her and exclaimed about how she was going to be an excellent student for her whole school career.
Defense Against the Dark Arts was their last exam before dinner. Lily found this one to be fun too. Professor Creevey had things float around you, and you had to rea Knockback Jinx.
All that was left was Astronomy, and then they would be done.When the exams were done, and they all went to dinner, Jace practically danced as they walked.
"I can't believe that it's almost finally over!" he cheered. "All is right in the world!"
"You are such a drama queen," Lola mocked.
Jace ignored her. It seemed nothing could put a damper on his mood.
"I can finally eat and not feel like I'm swallowing rocks or something!"
The three sat down at the Slytherin table, and immediately started to eat, relieved that the stress of the exams was lifted. Everyone was more relaxed, except for the seventh year who still had another day of exams.
"I am not looking forward to that," Jace muttered.
Later that night before bed, the first years took their Astronomy exam. Lily found this one boring. All they did was name constellations and moons. It was a dull hour. But matter how dull it was, every first-year had a good sleep that night.
***********************************************************************************************
The time leading up to getting back their results was met with a quiet week. There were no fights, not even between Gryffindor and Slytherin. A few times Lily hadto hang out with Louis. She usually brought Lola and Jace with her, and Louis never seemed to mind. He got along great with them, and he would sometimes friend Paul Bradley.
When Lily got her exams back, she was very surprised. She got a perfect score on everything. She got a hundred and thirteen percent on Herbology, and a hundredpercent on Charms. She even had a hundred and two percent on Transfiguration. L
Emily stared at the paper in shock as they sat in the common room.
"Well, at least I'm going to my second year," Jace sighed, dropping his scores on the table in front of them.
"My highest was a ninety-eight. And that was in Charmsseventy-two in History of Magic. I'm surprised I passed it."
"At least I beat your score in History of Magic," Lola teased.
"What did you get?" Lily asked.
"Seventy-three," Lola said with a laugh.
"I did well otherwise. I got a one hundred in Potions."
"How about you, Lil?" Jace asked, laying back on the chair, his legs stretching over his chair's arm.Lily looked back at her scores. Then she shrugged.
"I did pretty well I guess," she said, waving the scores off.
"I'm going to join you for the second year," she teased.
Jace laughed. "Welcome to the pack!"On the last day of school, Lily found herself packing the rest of her things. She'd procrastinated doing it for the last week. She put her books in, then all her other lknickknacks and such. She filed her score sheet into her Potions book. She knew her parents would want to see it. They'd always had the boys keep theirs so theyInside, Lily felt a little smug at the thought. Her brothers had never received the scores that she had.But then her insides dropped. She was going home, to brothers and cousins that couldn't stand her. At Hogwarts, it was easy to avoid them but at home . . . it would be impossible.
And this wasn't going to be like Christmas break. She would be stuck with them for months, and to add even more onto it, her uncle Ron and aunt Hermoine would visit often, bringing Rose and Hugo with them.
On the train the next day, Lily sat in a compartment with Lola, Jace, Lana, Scorpius, and Mitch Avery, another Slytherin in Scorpius's year.
"I can't believe the year's already over," Lola sighed, resting her head against the class of the window.
"It kinda sucks. It means that we're one year closer to O.W.L.s, and Rose Weasley loves to point that out," Mitch groaned.
Lily chuckled. "Just wait until you get to your fifth year. I doubt she'll ever shut up."
Scorpius laughed with her. "So, when can you come over, Lily Lu?"Lily rolled her eyes at the name.
"I don't know. Whenever I guess."
"She's going to your house?" Mitch asked.
"Trying to annoy your grandfather again?" Lana asked knowingly.
Scorpius grinned. "Hey, it would bug her brothers too. Kill two birds with one stone."
"What if your parents don't let you?" Jace teased.
Lily shrugged. "Then I'll just lie and say I'm going over to Teddy's or something. Anything to get out of the house."
"We should all get together sometime this summer," Lana suggested.
"Like, we could meet up in Diagon Alley or something."
"How about next week on Tuesday?" Mitch suggested.
"My parents are taking my siblings to see a crappy Quidditch game. They oddly want to see the Chudley Cannons lose another match. I'm skipping out."
"That sounds fine for me," Lana nodded.
"Should I tell Lars?"
"Yeah, bring him too. He'll be pissy if he knows we didn't invite him," Scorpius laughed.
"I'll be there," Jace told them.
"My parents won't care," Lily said with a shrug.
"Lola?" Mitch asked.
Lola nodded. "Yeah, I'll be able to get out. I just hope my parents don't make me take one of my siblings."
She looked disgusted at the thought.
"We can pawn them off at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes if you do," Mitch assured.
"Yeah, it's easy to spend hours in there," Jace agreed.
"I've spent more time there than you could imagine," Lily muttered.
For the rest of the train ride, the six stayed in the compartment, enjoying each other's company. Lily felt relaxed until the time came to get off the train. She wanted others, and Scorpius brought down her trunk. The six walked through the crowd together, searching for their families.
Lily, Lana, and Scorpius were the last ones todecided to look for Lily's family since Lana and Scorpius's parents would most likely be together.
Lily grimaced when they did find them.
"Well, good luck, Lil," Lana said, hugging Lily tightly.
Lily sighed. "Thanks. I might need a lot of luck."
Scorpius laughed. "Well, you've got mine." He wrapped her in a hug and lifted her off her feet.
Lily laughed, kicking at his legs. Scorpius put her down, still laughing at her family from the corner of her eye, and could see quite a few sour or unsure faces.
Lily smiled. "And I get the feeling that you just made the ride home much more relaxed," she mocked.Scorpius laughed again.
"No problem, Lily Luna. I'll beat 'em next time I see them," he joked.
Lily shook her head and grabbed her trunk and Regal's cage again.
"I'll see you two on Tuesday. And I'll find out when I can go to your house," Lily told them.
"Alright. Bye, Lil."
"Later, Lily Lu."
Lily turned around and walked back toward her family. Teddy came up and grabbed Regal's cage and her trunk.
"I'll take this. You're riding with me and Victoire."Lily felt elated at the news.
"You two are coming over?"Teddy nodded as they walked to the family.
"Yep, us and Ron and Hermione. Plus Rose and Hugo."Lily hid her distaste.
"Hello, sweetheart," Ginny said, hugging her daughter tightly.Lily gave a small smile.
"Hey, Mum. How was the rest of your time without us?"
"The house is painfully boring without three kids to tear it apart," Ginny said with a smile.
Harry stepped forward and hugged his daughter. "How are you, princess?"
"I'm doing pretty good," Lily answered.
The entire Weasley-Potter clan made their way off of the platform, and to the parking lot. Teddy picked Lily's things into his car's trunk, and Lily slid into the backs Victoire got into the front and turned around to smile at Lily.
"How was your first year?"Lily smiled. Victoire could never hate anyone, no matter what House they were in. Hate wasn't in her nature.
"It was pretty good. It went kind of fast."
"They slow down as you get closer to O.W.L.s," Teddy teased as he got in.
Lily rolled her eyes.
"Thanks, I'll try to remember that."Unlike the car ride home for Christmas, this ride was full of jokes and laughter. Lily loved Teddy and Victoire. They were probably two of her favorite people.When they reached the Potter house, Teddy brought in Lily's things and brought them to her room. He didn't hover and left Lily so that she could unpack. Lily didknow that she would have to go down there sooner or later. After all, she had to give them her score sheet. But she took her time nonetheless. She took out her books and stacked them in a bookcase, put away her clothes, took out everything else, and placed things around the room.
Once Lily felt she couldn't avoid it any longer, she pulled her scores out of her Potions book and made her way downstairs. She could hear voices from the kitchen,just the adults. Lily mustered up her courage and walked into the kitchen. She was right, and they were all in there, the adults and the kids.
"There you are, Lily," Ginny said with a smile.
Lily gave a grin. "Yeah, I knew you and Dad would want this."
Lily handed her scores to her mother."Oh, your exam scores!" Ginny said. Harry moved to look over her shoulder."Wow, princess! These are excellent!" Harry congratulated with a smile.
"I don't think Hermione even got scores like some of these."
"Let me see," Ron said, eager to see someone be smarter than his wife had been at eleven. Hermione rolled her eyes but looked at the paper Ron held. "Wow," Ron's eyes widened.Hermione looked impressed as well.
"You must have studied hard, Lily."Lily shrugged.
"I studied a little I guess. I just helped a friend of mine study."Rose went over and looked at the paper, and her jaw dropped.
"How is that possible?" she practically shrieked.Ginny smiled at her daughter.
"I think you deserve something special. How about you chose what we have for dinner? Your favorite?"
Lily's face brightened. "Yeah, that sounds perfect!"
Ginny laughed. "Then that's what we'll have."
Lily smiled as her mum started to get things out to make her favorite.
"Not even your brothers have done that. Good job, sweetheart. I'm proud of you," Harry complimented.
Lily smiled brighter. "Thanks. Since you guys seem to think I should get something special, I have an idea."
Harry laughed. "Really? What do you want?"
"Well . . ." Lily trailed, "it's more like what I want to do."
"Well, what do you want to do?" Ginny asked.Lily took in a small breath. "I want to stay at a friend's house sometime this summer," she answered.
"What friend?" Harry asked.
Lily let out that breath. "Scorpius Malfoy."
A silence. And then . . ."No way!" James exclaimed.
"James!" Harry warned. James glared but kept quiet.
"Why Scorpius's house?"Lily didn't think she should tell them the real reason. That it was to bug his grandfather. That wasn't her fact to tell. So she shrugged.
"He's a really good friend, and to come over."
"Is he the one that sent that headband?" Ron asked wearily, looking at Lily's hair.
Lily touched the headband. She hadn't told her family who sent it.
"Oh, yeah. He said he made it. So can I?" she pleaded, looking directly at her dad. She gave herlook.
Harry seemed unsure but eventually softened. He never said no when Lily looked at him like that. "When should I take you?"
Lily squealed happily. "Well, I'm not sure, but I've already got an idea."
"Which is?" Ginny asked.
"Well, we've all agreed to meet in Diagon Alley next Tuesday, so I could just go home with him then," Lily suggested.
"What about your things?" Ginny asked.
Lily shrugged. "We could stop by a moment, and I could grab it. Please?"
Harry shrugged this time. "I don't see a problem with that. Who's all going to Diagon Alley?"
"Me, Lola, Jace Pucey, Scorpius, Mitch Avery, and Lana Goyle. Oh! And Lars Goyle," Lily listed.
She noticed that her uncle Ron's brows furrowed with every name, faces each turned darker.
Only Teddy, Victoire, and Hermione seemed relaxed.But her parents ignored it all.
"Well we have no problem with you going to Scorpius's house," Ginny told her.
"Oh, Lil, I was going to ask you something," Teddy mentioned.
"Would you like to stay at my flat for a few days?"Lily was starting to feel hopeful. Perhaps this summer wouldn't be terrible after all.
"Sure! When?""I'm off of work the day after tomorrow for the next three days. I was thinking then. That ok?" he asked.
"Perfect!" Lily enthused. She looked at her parents.
"I'm going to write Scorpius and tell him that I can come over. Ok?"
"I'll call you when dinner's ready," Ginny told her.
Lily practically skipped up to her room. She wrote a letter to Scorpius, her joy filtering through her writing. She tied the letter to Regal's leg, let him out, and watched him fly off, she felt as if she would explode with excitement.On her second day at Teddy and Victoire's flat, Lily finally got a response from Scorpius.
His letter made her laugh.
Dear Lily Luna,
Sorry, this took so long, my parents(mum) have barely let me have time to myself. She's been intent on spending time with her growing boy. But I've told my parents grandparents that you will be visiting us on Tuesday. My grandfather threw an enormous fit. It was probably one of the greatest moments in my life!
My mum andare very excited to meet you, while my father's a bit hesitant. I was glad to hear that your brothers weren't happy as well. Maybe next time I can stay at your house I'll see you on Tuesday.
I guess the others think we're all meeting up at the Leaky Cauldron at two o'clock. See you then.
Sincerely,Scorpius Malfoy.
"What have you got there, Lil?" Teddy asked as he walked into the living room.
Lily smiled. "A letter from Scorpius. He just wanted to tell me that he's told his family that I'm coming over on Tuesday."
Teddy chuckled. "You should have a good time. It's a pretty big house."
Lily had almost forgotten that Teddy and Scorpius were related.
"You've been there?" she asked.
Teddy nodded as he searched through his kitchen cabinets
. "A few times with my grandma, but I don't know Scorpius that well."
"He's a good guy," Lily told him as she refolded her letter.
Teddy smiled. "I trust your judgment. You're not stupid."
Then he sighed. "So, are you excited for your second year?"
"Yeah, kind of. Mainly I'm just excited to get back to school. I like it at Hogwarts," she replied.
Teddy nodded. "Yeah, so did I. It's a great place."
"I can't wait for Tuesday. Hanging out with the others is sure to be fun," Lily commented.
"So, you said you were hanging with Mitch Avery in Diagon Alley too, right?" Teddy asked.
Lily nodded. "Yeah, why?"
Teddy shrugged. "I know his older brother, Brandon. He's not a real close friend, but we have . . . mutual friends I guess, so I see him from time to time."
"I don't hang out with Mitch a lot, but he's one of Scorpius's friends, so he hangs around sometimes.
"He's pretty cool," Lily replied.
"Yeah, Brandon's a pretty cool guy too," Teddy commented.
"Oh, and congrats on winning the Quidditch Cup this year. Did you guys win the House Cup too?"
Lily could help the smug smile.
"Yeah, we crushed the other Houses. Our big Quidditch lead was what helped though."
Teddy chuckled. "So, what are you doing after Tuesday?"Lily tilted her head.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you're not going to be home until after Tuesday. I was just wondering what you're doing after everything on Tuesday," he inquired.
Lily bit her lip. What would she do? Most likely she'd hide out in her room, rarely leaving, and locking the door when Rose and Hugo visited with their parents.
Lockwhen any of the cousins visited.
Then again, she had Louis."I don't know. Maybe I'll stay with Louis for a while, or see if he wants to stay," Lily suggested.
"You two seem to be getting along lately," Teddy hinted.
Lily shrugged. "He's the only cousin at school that likes me. I tend to take advantage of that."
Teddy didn't look upset or disappointed. He only nodded. "I don't blame you. I would too."
Lily raised a brow. "You're not going to tell me I should be the bigger person and apologize? That I and the others shouldn't be fighting like this?"
Teddy smiled wryly. "Honestly, I'm staying neutral. I don't want to get involved and have some of my cousins hate me. Because if I had to get involved and chose twith, I'd have to agree with you."Lily's eyes widened in shock.
"You agree with me?" Teddy? A former Gryffindor going against his House?Teddy chuckled.
"I never cared about Houses when I was in school. I mean, I may have cared about my House when it came to Quidditch, but otherwise, they never had options, and friends would have been very limited if I'd felt like that. All that I care about now is my family, not what House they're in. And if they make it into a diffthan I did, then I think that the House must be pretty good."
Lily got up from her place on the couch and hugged her brother tight.When Tuesday came Lily was taken home, but she didn't stay long, which she was thankful for because Rose and Hugo were visiting with their parents again. She took her bag, left it by the fireplace, and then when it was almost two o'clock, she said goodbye to the adults and Flood to The Leaky Cauldron.
"Lily!" Lily looked to her left to see that Lola, Lana, and Lars were already there. Lola pulled Lily into a tight hug.
"How are you?" she asked.
Lily laughed as she pulled away from the embrace. "It has barely been a week, Lola."
Lola rolled her eyes as the other two laughed.
"Yeah, but you have brothers that can't stand you, so I have a right to ask. So?"
Lily chuckled. "I only had to put up with them for a few days. Then I was at Teddy's, and now I'm here. I wrote this stuff to you already."
The fireplace behind them roared high, and then Mitch stepped out.
"The party already here?" he asked loudly.
"Almost," Lana answered.
"We're just waiting for Scorpius and Jace now."
"What's the plan for today anyway?" Lars asked.
"We'll decide when everyone's here," Mitch told him.
The fire roared again. "Am I the last one?" Jace asked as he walked through the fire.
"Close, but no. You beat Scorpius," Lily replied.
"By a second," Scorpius countered as he stepped out from the fireplace. He grinned at them all.
"Are we all here?"
"Now we are," Mitch answered.
"So what's on the agenda?" Jace asked.
"Can we stay and get something to eat?" Lana asked.
"We've yet to eat lunch, and I'm starved."
"Me too. Anyone else hungry?" Mitch asked.
All the others but Lily agreed.Lily shook her head.
"My mother made me eat something first. I swear she's becoming more like my grandmother every day."
The other chuckled. "Ok, should I order, and you guys find a table?" Mitch asked.
"Why don't I order?" Lily suggested. She could see her aunt Hannah at the counter. "My aunt owns the place, and she always drops the price for me."
"Perfect!" Mitch cheered.Lily laughed but mentally took down what everyone wanted. After catching everything, she left them to find a table and went to the counter."Hello, Lily," Hannah greeted. "What are you doing here?"Lily shrugged.
"I'm here with a few friends. I needed away from the house."
Hannah laughed. "Well, what can I get you?"Lily relayed the list to her aunt.
"Oh, and seven butterbeer," she finished. "How much will this be?"
Hannah looked at her niece as she started to pull out the butterbeer. "On the house."
Lily raised a brow. "Are you sure?"
"We're busy today. It won't hurt anything," Hannah said with a smile.
"I'll get it to your table when it's all done."
Lily smiled widely. "Thanks, Aunt Hannah."
"You're welcome, sweetie," she replied.
Lily made her way through the packed room, and over to the table of Slytherins. She took a seat between Lola and Scorpius.
"It's on the way."
"How much is it costing us?" Mitch asked as he pulled out his wallet.
"It's on the house," Lily replied.
"I told you she loves me."Mitch stared at Lily in silence for a moment before reaching over the table and grabbing her hand.
"I freaking love you!"They all laughed.
Lily flicked his hand."I'm sure Miley would love to hear that," Lana teased.
"Miley Flint?" Jace asked.
"What do you mean?"
Lana grinned teasingly. "They've been dating since the middle of June."
"You're dating Miley Flint?" Jace said with a laugh.
"I think that's cute," Lola defended.
"Thank you, Lola," Mitch thanked.
"What's funny is that his mommy thinks he's too young to date," Lars laughed.
Mitch scoffed. "Crazy witch. I'm fourteen, that's not too young. My sister was fourteen, and hell my brother was fourteen when he lost his virginity."
"But Brandon's your mum's little angel," Scorpius argued.
Mitch rolled his eyes. "Angel my ass."
"Your brother was only fourteen?" Lana asked in surprise.
"That is a bit young," Lola agreed.
"Don't worry," Mitch assured, "he was drunk and barely remembers it."
Lily and the boys laughed. The other girls rolled their eyes. But it was all forgotten as their food and drinks floated over to their table. Lily just took sips of her butterbeer others all started to eat.
"So, what are we doing after this?" Lola asked.
"I figured we'd go into Twillfit and Tatting's and bug and mess with the employees and management," Mitch suggested.
"Yeah, until they get pissed and throw us out," Lana scoffed.
Mitch smiled smugly. "They'd never throw me out. My mum owns most of the store. She's the biggest and richest partner they've got. They have to respect me or they are fired. That's what makes annoying them so fun," he explained.
"I think we should do it!" Jace agreed with a laugh.
"Well how about the boys be children and mess with the employees, and us girls can act our ages?" Lana suggested.
"Sounds good to me," Lola agreed.
So the first thing Mitch did as they entered Twillfit and Tatting's was hurry over to an employee and set off a small firework. As angry as the employee had looked,but glare.
"What an ass," Lana muttered as she walked in.
Lily chuckled and followed her in. Lars and Jace immediately ran over to join Mitch in terrorizing three employees. Scorpius stood back with Lily and watched.
"Their energy is amazing," Scorpius joked.
Lily smiled. "Eventually one of those employees is going to snap."
"Well, hopefully, we are far away when that happens," Scorpius replied.
They both started walking to a display of different dress robes.
"So, are we going straight tothe other's leave?"
"Almost," Lily replied.
"I just have to go home and pick up my bag. It's sitting right by the fireplace, so it shouldn't take even a minute."
"Am I Flooing home with you?" Scorpius asked.
Lily raised a brow but smirked. "You want to take a chance and step into the lion's den?"
Scorpius chuckled. "I'm sure I can make it out alive. It sounds fun."
Lily shook her head. "Ok, if you want to come with then you can."
"So how was staying at Teddy's flat?" he asked as he examined a set of dress robes.
"It was fun. He took me to the Stonewall Stormers and Appleby Arrows game," Lily answered.
"So you got to see the Arrows' Seeker get taken out up close then?" Scorpius laughed.
Lily laughed too. "Yeah, it was a serious injury, but the way he fell was pretty comical."
"Yeah I saw a picture of it in the Daily Prophet," Scorpius replied.
He took the robe and they walked over to a full-length mirror. Scorpius slipped the robes over hissliding his arms through the sleeves. Lily watched as he fastened it up, and flipped up the collar.
"That looks good on you," she complimented.Scorpius nodded, his face focused on his appearance.
"Yes, I think so too. I like the feel of silk, and the color of it is perfect.""
You do look good in black," she agreed.
Scorpius pulled off the robes and folded them over his arm. "I think I'll buy it. I'll have to thank my dad for the money he gave me."
He looked back at Lily. "Is there anything you want?"Lily shook her head.
"Nah. I've got enough clothes."
"I don't think Lola and Lana are having the same thoughts," Scorpius said, pointing to the girls. They were both holding up different things, giggling and giving comLily rolled her eyes.
"I'm surprised Lana is like that."
"She hides it well, but at times like these, she's just as girly as anyone," he remarked.
"And we all know about Lola," Lily joked.
"She's your best friend," Scorpius teased.Lily smiled.
"Yeah, she is. Despite the girly part of her, you have to love her."Scorpius smirked.
"Like how even despite your smartass attitude she still loves you."Lily hit his shoulder. "Shut up," she laughed. Scorpius laughed too.
