"Now what is this?" Lily asked. She picked up a small little rectangular prism, that had a wire attached to it.

"That's a Bluetooth." Clara took the small device, setting it back on the rack. She grabbed Lily by the wrist and dragged her out of Brookstone.

Lily looked utterly confused. "But it's not blue, nor a tooth. It makes no sense!" Muggles were absolutely absurd to her. They came up with the weirdest names and inventions. Honestly, who was going to use shoes with spikey points on the bottom? Cleats, she thought they were called.

"Don't ask me why they call it that! I didn't come up with it." After Lily's numerous complaints, it was obvious she'd become annoyed. "Now let's go get some frozen yogurt."

"Frozen yogurt? Muggles freeze yogurt? That sounds so weird!" Lily glanced around to see if anyone noticed her outburst. "I don't understand this at all."

"Ugh, Lily! We don't freeze yogurt! It's like ice cream, but better." She stopped pulling Lily when they were outside a pink and green shop. "Tutti Fruity. Let's eat." Lined alond the walls were levers, each with a different picture above them. "Get a cup, choose a flavor, and pull the lever. Not hard is it?"

Lily chose a cup from the stack at the counter, then pulled down on the lever. It kept coming though and didn't stop. Clara rushed over to her and pulled her hand off the lever. "Oops..."

"Lily! You don't want to get yogurt everywhere." Clara took a napkin, wiping the excess yogurt from the cup. "Here. Now go put toppings on it. Only one kind, and only a little."

The redhead took the cup from her best friend. She walked over to a counter with cubby holes in it, filled with different candies and fruits. She put a few strawberries on it, then waited for Clara. They weighed their yogurts, then Clara paid the cashier in Muggle money.

They walked out of Tutti Fruity into the warm summer air. "So... how's things with you and Scorp?" Clara asked, sitting down at a silver table.

A small smile lit Lily's face at Scorpius's name. "Oh... everything's fine. Mostly normal." She lazily scooped some yogurt into her mouth. The taste was sweet and cold.

"Yeah right! Spill now!" She leaned forward eagerly. Even after dating Scorpius for over a year she still felt uncomfortable talking about her relationship with him in front of Clara. "Please?"

Lily sighed. "Fine... he told me he loved me..." She whispered the last part mostly to herself. She still couldn't believe it. He hadn't even demanded that she stay it back. The memory was still fresh in her mind.

She knocked on the grey door of his bedroom at the Malfoy Manor. He was still living with his parents until he had enough money to move out. "Come in!" someone shouted from behind the door. Lily turned the gold doorknob, entering the black and green room. Total Slytherin, screamed the room.

"Hey," she said, leaning down to kiss his cheek. Scorpius sat lazily in the wooden chair at his desk made of black wood.

"Hi," he responded, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her onto his knee. She smiled, then laid her cheek on his silvery blond head. "There's something I have to tell you," he whispered, his breath tickling her neck.

She shivered. "That doesn't sound good."

He laughed. "It's nothing like that, I promise. But what I tell you, I don't expect you to respond with the same thing... or at least right away." Scorpius brushed a loose red hair behind her ear. He stood up, pulling her with him.

Lily looked up into his grey eyes, waiting for him to say something. If someone would've told her she'd be dating Scorpius three years ago, she would've laughed or hit them. Now all she could imagine was a life with him. "Yes?" she breathed.

"Lily Luna Potter, I love you." Most guys would've said it too fast to understand. He said with such love and ease it felt so natural to her ears. That was the best part.

"Lily!" Clara screamed at her.

She blinked a few times. "What?"

"I've been talking to you for like five minutes! You off in Scorpius land again?" Clara teased.

Lily felt herself blush. "Of course not..." While she'd been remembering her day with Scorpius, she hadn't realized she'd finished her yogurt.

"Anyway, back to the point. Did you say it back?" Clara demanded. "Please tell me you said it back!"

"Actually, no... I didn't. I'm just not sure right now. For God's sake I'm only 17, Clara! For the moment I'm not sure about anything. Now I must go. I'm meeting-"

"Scorpius," Clara finished. "Gotcha'. See you later." Clara gave Lily a quick hug before Disapparating.

"Nice talking to you," Lily grumbled under her breath, then Apparated to the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley. She knew she was early, she just wanted to get away from her conversation with Clara. Instead she sat in a booth and ordered a glass of Butterbeer.

She spent the rest of the time alone tapping her fingers, finishing a letter to Hagrid, and drinking the rest of her Butterbeer. "Someone bored?" a cold voice asked from behind her.

"Very," she replied nonchanantly. "Care to join me?"

"It's what I came for." Scorpius Malfoy slid into the booth across from her. Lily laced her fingers in his, enjoying the field of his cold skin on her warm skin. "Hi," he said finally. She smiled at him, not saying anything. Scorpius raised his eyebrow suspiciously at her. "What?" Still she said nothing. "What?" he finally demanded, annoyed. A smirk played at her lips. "What do-Oh..." When he got the message, he leaned across the table, planting a soft kiss on her lips. "Better?" he asked.

"Much," she replied contently. Lily leaned back in her seat, her hand still in his. She was more of a bronze skinned from playing so much Quidditch, while he remained paper white in contrast. "We still have to tell my extended family about us. You know aside from Hugo and Freddie."

"Oh, that's gonna be fun." The sarcasm in his voice was more obvious than him being a Malfoy.

Lily fidgeted nervously in her seat. "I was hoping you'd come to my family dinner tonight. My Uncle Ron, Aunt Hermione, Rosie, and Hugo are going to be there. Plus my parents and brothers obviously. I thought we'd start small. See how they take it?"

"Only if you want to, Lily. If you're not comfortable with it I-"

"I want to tell them. I really do." She could hear the pleading in her voice. She almost sounded like a child begging for cookies.

"Okay, we'll tell them then."

Lily ran her hands down her jeans nervously. Everyone sat at the table, minus one. Her parents and Aunt and Uncle chatted lightly, while her brothers conversed with her cousins. She was the only one not talking.

Her parents knew that Scorpius was coming over so they could announce it. Though her dad was a little hesitant about the relationship at first, he eventually gave in.

Where is he? Lily thought. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it," she announced. All eyes turned towards her.

"Expecting someone, Harry?" she heard Uncle Ron ask her father as she exited the dining room to the foyer.

Lily opened to door. In the moonlight, his hair looked pure silver. "Whoa" was what came out of her mouth. "I mean, hello. Come on it, Scorpius." She offered him her hand when he entered, closing the door behind her.

Scorpius wore a gray cashmere sweater, with dark jeans. His hair was neat as always, but a black ring glinted on his right middle finger. It was cool to the touch when Lily took his hand to lead him into the dining room.

"It's okay," Scorpius said when they were outside the dining room door. "You can do this." His hand gave her a supportive squeeze. They entered the dining room, causing all conversation to go silent.

"What the bloody hell is he doing here?" Ron asked, his cheeks turning a crimson red. "Is that seriously Scorpius Malfoy?" Ron demanded.

Lily took a deep breath. "Yes, Uncle Ron, it is. I think the silvery blond hair and pale skin is enough to prove that." She tried to keep her voice calm and light. "And to answer your first question, we're dating."

Ron stood up so fast he almost knocked the table over. "Do you know what his father did, his grandfather-"

"Yes, I'm aware of what his father and grandfather did but not him. Seeing a big difference there, aren't you?" Lily raised her eyebrow at him, daring him to challenge her.

Her Aunt Hermione smiled brightly. "That's wonderful, Lily! I'm so happy for you." Rosie nodded in agreement to her mother.

"Harry, don't you want to say something about this?" Ron asked his best friend furiously.

"I've known for over a year, Ron. I'm fine with it. Can you please not ruin my table cloth?" Harry asked politely. Ginny sent her brother a scowl.

"Over a year? How am I just now hearing about this?"

"Quite easily actually. I'm at Hogwarts most of the year and the subject was never brought up as a dinner conversation. Thanfully my parents, brother, Hugo, and Freddie know how to keep their mouth shut," Lily explained.

Ron rounded on his son. "You've known, Hugo, and never told me?"

Hugo's ears turned red like his father's did when he was embarrassed. "Well you never asked. Plus, it's really none of your business. She's Uncle Harry's daughter, not yours. That's little miss Know-It-All over here," Hugo said, pointing his fork at his sister.

"Hey!" Rose explaimed. "I told you not to call me that!" She hit her brother upside the head.

"What do you have to say?" Ron asked, glaring at Scorpius.

Scorpius looked a little surprised to be addressed by him like that. "What do I have to say? All I have to say is that I want to make Lily happy, but I don't want to come between her family."

Ginny stood up. "Enough," she commanded her brother. "Hugo was right, this is none of your business. You hardly even deserve to know."

"How can you say that, when his father-His grandfather basically sent you into the Chamber of Secrets with that diary?" Ron yelled at his sister.

Ginny said with clenched fists, "I don't like his father or his grandfather first of all. Second of all, he didn't purposely give me the diary. That was pure bad luck. Third of all, I'm not judging him on his family, I'm judging him on his actions and the way he treats my daughter." She turned to Scorpius with a tight smile, still fuming with anger from her brother's behavior. "Please, both of you sit down."

Lily dragged him over to where she sat earlier by Hugo. Scorpius looked out of place but sat next to her anyway. Both of the Weasley siblings took their seats again. "Now, how about dinner?" Harry asked.

Everyone agreed, wanting nothing more than to clear the tension in the air. Their house elf, Dilly, served all of them food. Lily say her Aunt slip a Galleon into the elf's hand under the table.

Once the tension had cleared, they all made conversation, Scorpius joining in once in a while. Some how, the conversation had gotten to when Harry and Ginny first met. Ron answered looking like he was trying not to pee his pants. "Mum, look! It's Harry Potter! Mummy, Mum look!" Ron imitated his sister in a little girl voice.

"I did not do that! You know I didn't!" Ginny's cheeks had turned a bright red. Harry was holding in her own fits of laughter. All of the kids had already started to laugh, even Scorpius.

"Ahh, but you were thinking it," Ron teased. "Mum, it's Harry Potter! Remember! I have a poster of him!"

It was clear that Ginny had stomped on his foot under the table. Lily smiled at Scorpius. "Much better," she whispered.
