Yep! Only Draco could be the cause of such awkwardness!
Here's the next chapter, and another part of Lily's list to complete! Sit back and enjoy!
Love always,

Lily clung to Scorpius as he apparated them to Paris. She stumbled just a bit, but was steadied by his firm grip.
"You okay," he questioned. She nodded and leaned against the ally wall. "It'll pass, Lils, you know that."
"I know, but it doesn't get any easier," she responded. She noticed a dull ache in her chest, and absentmindedly started rubbing just above the pain. She looked up when she heard a strangled sound emanate from her companion. "It's just a dull ache."
"But that's how it starts," he whispered, his voice laced with fear. "It'll be just a dull aching, then it gets worse." She could see the tears in his eyes, and wrapped her arms around him.
"You knew this when you agreed to go with me," she soothed. She felt his arms pull her closer to him.
"But I was hoping it wouldn't happen this quickly," he half-sobbed. She ran a hand through the baby soft hair at the back of his head. "I know I'm suppose to be strong for you, but I can't anymore."
"Shhh, it's okay," she cooed. "You can let go now. I'm right here, Scorp. I don't mind one bit if you cry." He pulled back and wiped away the drops of terror.
"But I do, Lils," he protested. "I've been trying to forget about it this whole trip. I don't want to accept that I'm loosing you. I don't want to believe that you're dying. But you are, and I don't know how to deal with it." She raised a hand to cup his face, and gently turned him to meet his gaze.
"Scorpius, it's okay," she repeated. "I don't blame you for being upset about it. James and Albus are still trying to accept it." She smiled and tenderly kissed his lips. "Lets just go have a nice, romantic date. Let's just forget about what's going on with my body, and let's have a good time." He nodded, and she took his hand and lead him into the street.
They walked all over Paris, taking in each and every landmark and wonderful view they could. Lily found a dress that looked amazing on her, and Scorpius couldn't help but buy it for her. They were about to go back to the alleyway to apparate back home when she saw something out of the corner of her eye. She turned to see a small, black dog cowering next to a dumpster.
"Oh, Scorpius, look," she exclaimed, crouching down to try and call the dog to her.
"Come here, boy. I won't hurt you."
"Lily, what are you doing," Scorpius inquired as the dog trotted up to her. She scratched it's head, then scooped it up in her arms and turned to him.
"Scorp, we can't leave him here," she began pleadingly. "Look at him! He's starving!" He stared at the small bundle in her arms, and she knew he was thinking. "Please, Scorp? For me?" Their eyes met, and she could see the surrender in his gaze.
"Only because you asked me to," he replied softly. She stifled a squeal of excitement.
"Come on. Let's get you home before your father send the whole Auror office after me." She laughed and followed him to the apparating spot. He grabbed her arm and apparated the three of them to the front yard of her family home.
"I'll have to explain the puppy to Dad," she stated with a smile. She heard Scorpius chuckle.
"I'm sure he won't mind one bit," he responded with a kiss to her cheek. "I'll see you tomorrow, baby." She smiled her goodbye and watched him apparate away before walking into the house.
"Mum, Dad, I'm home," she called as she closed the door. She saw her dad walk in from the den.
"Hello, baby girl," he greeted. His eyes landed on the pup in her arms. "Who's this?"
"I found him in Paris," she answered as he took the animal from her arms. "He was starving, Dad. I couldn't leave him there!" Harry chuckled and examined the dog.
"He is pretty thin," he mused. "And he could use a good bath."
"What is that?" They turned to see James and Albus, followed by Ginny, come down the stairs.
"He's my new puppy," Lily retorted. "And no, you can't have him."
"Lily's right," Harry began sternly. "Her and Scorpius found him in Paris. He need a fair amount of TLC before he's ready for any rough play." James gently held the little pup and looked him over. Then he grinned.
"Why not name him Padfoot," he inquired. "The only part of him that doesn't scream abandoned is his feet." The family laughed, but Lily could see the glint of sorrow in her father's gaze.
"Lily, it's up to you," Albus piped in. She smiled.
"I think Padfoot is a nice name for him," she answered. "Suits him perfectly." She felt her father's strong arm around her shoulders, and she could barely detect the tremble in his touch.
"Let's get ole Padfoot here some food and water, and let him know he won't go hungry again."
