You poor things! You're ready for Scorpius to finally tell Lily how he feels, aren't you? I'm just waiting for the story to progress to that point! :) Sorry, guys!
I'm not quite sure where this chapter will go, so all I'm going to say is sit back and enjoy the ride.
Love always,
Avoline

Scorpius sat nervously in the airplane seat. They were about to go to Africa for the safari, and Lily had insisted on flying instead of apparating. He was scared out of his mind, and not sure what to expect.
"Just relax, Scorp," Lily soothed. "It'll all be just fine."
"Lily, how the hell does this thing fly," he whispered fearfully. "It's a big hunk of metal!"
"I don't know, Scorp," she cooed. "But being nervous isn't going to help things! It's not going to crash." He swallowed hard and glanced out the tiny window.
"I'm not all that worried about it crashing," he muttered. He could see her roll her eyes.
"Then what are you worried about?" He took a deep breath, then met her gaze.
"I'm worried about us dying before I get the chance to tell you." He almost panicked when the plane lurched forward.
"Before you get the chance to tell me what," she questioned. He looked around, then met her gaze.
"Lily, if anything happens between here and Africa, know that I love you and I couldn't image a better way to go than with you beside me," he blurted quietly. She stared at him, her jaw hanging.
Well, that went well.
"I mean it, Lils," he stated. "I've felt this way about you since fifth year. I can't stop thinking about you, even in my sleep, and your brother Albus threatened to hex me to death if I interrupted your schooling, and-"
"Scorpius," she cut in. "Say that again."
"Your brother threatened to hex me to death?"
"Before that."
"I can't stop thinking about you?"
"Before that!"
"I love you?"
He could see her face go from shock to pure joy, and he let go of his fear of rejection.
"Oh, Scorpius, why didn't you say so earlier?" He smiled as tears formed in his eyes.
"You needed someone who was emotionally stable, and I didn't want you to know how much I'm hurting," he responded softly.
"Oh, Scorp," she cooed, her voice laced with pity.
"I didn't want to believe that you're fading away, but these past few days have made it more real." He could feel his composure slipping. "I didn't want you to see how bad the news affected me. I've tried so hard to hold it together, just for you, Lils." A rogue tear fell down his face, and he closed his eyes as she wiped it away.
"Scorpius, you shouldn't have," she comforted. "If it's hurting you that much, why didn't you just say so?" He smiled and gently kissed her lips.
"Cause I wouldn't miss any of this for the world," he replied. "I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather be than right here, with you." He opened his eyes and met her gaze.
"Just please, tell me you love me too. Otherwi-" Her finger rested on his lips, silencing him in a heartbeat.
"Scorpius Malfoy, I have loved you since my fourth year." He smiled, only to be rewarded with a smack on the arm. "And you should have asked me to the Yule Ball!"
"I was scared you'd say no," he protested. "Besides, it looked as though Scamander was having the time of his life." She laughed.
"Lorcan is just a friend," she began. "We had both agreed that if neither one found a date by the time the Yule Ball came around, we'd go together as friends."
"Oh." She smiled.
"It is good to have you here, Scorp," she murmured. "Even if you could have any girl in the world." He put his arm around her.
"I've got the perfect girl right here," he stated proudly. "And I am honored to call her mine."
