Pairing(s): Lily/Scorpius , Lily/OMC, Albus Severus/Scorpius
Warnings: under 18 and ridiculously awkward sex (character is 16), matchmaker Slytherin Lily with Rose as her accomplice
Summary: Lily never meant to break Scorpius' heart. He was the nicest bloke she knew and loved him dearly. If only, there was some way to make it up to him. Luckily, with Rose's help she decides to set up Albus and Scorpius.
Author's note: Thank you to everyone who read the first part. If it wasn't clear, the awful sex between Lily and Jwood was supposed to be funny. And I hope it was. Lily isn't a bad person. She just made a mistake and will do everything in her power to make it up to Scorpius. Also, a special thank you to my beta Ashiiblack, and as always, feedback is highly encouraged. It makes my day.
Enjoy.
Part 2: Brotherly Love
"There's no other love like the love for a brother. There's no other love like the love from a brother." ~TG [2]
: : : :
Lily hid in her room for what felt like hours. She had wanted to chase after Scorpius and make him understand, but he was already gone and could have been anywhere by now. How could she have been so stupid? It's not that she had feelings for Scorpius because she didn't. She didn't want to be his girlfriend or have any type of romantic relationship with him, but he was her friend, her best friend. And the last thing she wanted to do was hurt him.
Why was he even here? And why had he brought her a rose? She had tried to salvage the beautiful blue rose, but as soon as she picked it up, it wilted beneath her fingertips. It was as if the enchanted rose knew that she was a bitch and had just broken Scorpius' heart.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. What the hell was she going to do now? She needed Scorpius to forgive her and had to make sure that he didn't tell anyone. Under no circumstances could this get back to James and Dad. Her father would kill Jonathon if he found out—not that she cared about what happened to that arrogant prick. However, she did not want her father knowing that his little girl was having sex. It might actually kill him.
Finally, she pulled herself together, crawled out of bed, and got dressed. Later, she would have to take a long, long bath to wash off all of Jonathon's sweat and slobber. Gross. Time to face the music, she thought, as she pulled her hair back and walked out of her room. She needed to talk to Albus. Even though he was her brother, he wasn't barmy and crazy protective like James and Dad were. If anyone would understand, he would. Besides, he never had been that fond of Scorpius, so perhaps he wouldn't judge her too badly.
: : : :
"Al?" Lily called as she knocked on his door. She heard music in the background, so when he didn't answer, she decided to let herself in. "Al?" she said again; this time, she walked in and found Al sitting on his bed. He was curled up with his knees to his chest and his black hair sticking up wildly in all directions. His eyes were red and blotchy, and in that moment, he looked remarkably like Dad did on all those nights that Lily had sat with him when he waited up for Mum to come home. Seeing him like this, looking so helpless and dejected, sent a sharp pang to her chest.
"Lily," he said, his voice even and expressionless. "Lily," he repeated, staring at the wall instead of making eye contact with her. "How could you? Tell me it's not true." Finally, he turned his head and met her eyes. "Please, tell me it's not true. And with that bastard—"
"Al...I-I" Lily stammered. Apparently, Albus already knew. But why was he taking it so hard? Was he really that disappointed in her? "I-I" she tried again, but for once her voice failed her. Albus always had her back. He always defended her no matter what she did, but this time even Albus was disgusted with her. There was nothing she could do except stand there blinking stupidly at her brother and fighting to hold back her tears.
"He loves you, you know?" Albus said after a long beat. "Really loves you."
"Al-bus," she said slowly, finally regaining her voice, "what are you talking about?"
"Scorpius," he said, his eyes dark and wistful as if it were painful just to mention Scorpius' name. "He told me. He came over yesterday and told me that he wanted to surprise you today. I went to find him. That's where we were before...well...you know—"
"Al," she croaked, "I'm sorry. I-I didn't know. I never meant to hurt him." Her hands were trembling now and her bottom lip quivering. She closed her eyes and bit her tongue, trying to regain her composure. "You read my letters. I thought we were just having fun. We didn't even do anything besides snog a few times. It didn't mean anything!"
Albus' face blanched noticeably when she mentioned kissing Scorpius; his skin was tinting a sallow green and he looked as if he were going to be ill. "Well, it meant something to him!" His eyes were blazing now, like two emerald flames, and he was huffing much louder than Lily had ever heard him. The Weasley-Potter clan were known for their fiery tempers, but Albus had always been the exception. Albus was so laid back and cool about everything that most people thought it was impossible to get him angry. Lily knew that wasn't the case; that once in awhile he would get livid, particularly with James, but he had never lost his temper with her.
"Al, please!" She stepped closer to him and placed a trembling hand on his shoulder.
He shrugged her off and continued glaring. "No, Lily! You listen for once. Not everything is ALWAYS about you! You can't just play with people's feelings whenever you feel like it. It isn't fair." He closed his eyes for a moment and bowed his head. "Scorpius," he said, his voice much calmer now, "of all people, does not deserve that. He deserves...and I—"
Lily just blinked incredulously at her brother. She had never seen him like this before and over Scorpius. It just didn't seem right; something was missing. "Albus," she said, her voice faint and a knot forming in the back of her throat, "you are completely right and I was wrong. But why do you care so much? I thought you hated Scorpius."
Albus' eyes widened and now he was blinking at her. He looked so lost and frightened; she just wanted to scoop him into her arms and hold him tightly.
"Al?"
"I-I don't hate Scorpius!" he squeaked. "Not at all. Does he think that I do? I like him a lot," he explained, biting on his bottom lip. "It's just that he's a Slytherin and I'm a Gryffindor, so you know how that goes."
Lily sighed and regarded her brother closely. Albus was so bloody smart, a million times smarter than James, and even smarter than she was, but sometimes he was an idiot and stubborn as hell.
"But I'm a Slytherin," she said in her sweetest voice, giving him her most timid look.
"That's different, Lil. You're my sister. And Scorpius doesn't like me either." Albus shrugged casually, even though Lily could see that his eyes were still pained.
"It's not different," she insisted. "Besides, Scorpius doesn't hate you. He thinks you're wicked smart and funny...when you aren't tormenting the Slytherins that is."
"He does?" Albus' eyes grew wide again. "Merlin's beard!"
Lily smiled at her brother and shook her head. "Well, I'm going to try and fix things with Scorpius, but you should try to be friends with him too. I didn't know you liked him."
"I DON'T LIKE SCORPIUS MALFOY!"
"Alright," Lily said, sending her brother a questioning gaze, "there's no need to shout about it. Just don't hate me, okay? I love you, Al."
"I love you, too, Lil," Albus said, his tone serious and his eyes piercing her again, "but this time...you went too far. You need to fix this."
"I know." She bowed her head and attempted to hide behind her hair, finally releasing the tears she had been swallowing back all day.
"I know."

The last few weeks of summer had dragged on, painfully so, and thank Merlin, they were finally coming to an end. Lily had been miserable the entire time. Originally, she had planned on lounging around with Albus and visiting Scorpius at the Manor, so she could work on her suntan. But her plans had been ruined. Albus was giving her the cold shoulder, and Dad was wrapped up in work as usual, or spending his evenings working late with Mr Malfoy, which was beyond weird. Lily didn't want to know how that partnership was working out, and she felt bad for Scorpius, who was probably dealing with their bickering like an old married couple on a daily basis. She also avoided James as much as possible—one because he wasn't very good company—and two because she didn't want to run into Jonathon. She was already embarrassed and traumatised enough by what had happened. The last thing she needed was to come face to face with that twat.
And Scorpius, well, she must have written him a dozen letters, but she hadn't received a response to a single one. Every day, she sat by her window and hoped to hear her owl, Rupert, tapping on her window with a letter. But the letters never came, and now today was the first day of classes. Last night, Scorpius hadn't been at the Start-of-Term-Feast or in the common room when she had returned afterwards. This morning at breakfast was going to be the first time she would see him since that awful day. Bloody hell. Her heart was racing and her knees felt wobbly. One way or another, she had to get Scorpius to listen to her, to understand how sorry she was. She couldn't bear to lose him as a friend.
It's not that she didn't have other friends, because she had plenty, but she didn't relate well with most of the other Slytherin girls. She would much rather spend her time with Scorpius, and this was the last year that she would have him around. Next year was going to be hard enough without him and Albus. There was no way that she could survive this year without him too. She absolutely refused, so with her head held high and shoulders back, she marched into the Great Hall and straight towards the end of the Slytherin table.
Unfortunately, Scorpius was not sitting in his usual seat and was already flanked right in the middle of the table with Zabini and Nott on either side. Bollocks. It was going to be impossible to try to speak with Scorpius during breakfast. She was just going to have to wait until he was finished and leaving the table. Then, she would track him down and follow him until he agreed to listen to her. At this point, there was no other choice. Sitting down in her usual spot, she sighed and blew her fringe out of her face, trying to get Scorpius' attention. When he finally looked at her, she greeted him with a wide smile, but rather than returning her grin, he just scowled and looked down at his breakfast.
Fuck, this was going to be harder than she thought. She started stabbing at her eggs and plotting violent ways to remove Zabini and Nott from Scorpius' side when an annoying and all too familiar voice buzzed in her ear.
"Hello, Lily Luna," Rose said, her voice high-pitched and much too cheerful. "It's been too long, dear cousin."
"Oh, hi," Lily responded drily, not even bothering to look up from her eggs. Rose might be her cousin, but the girl was so bossy and annoying that she avoided her as often as possible.
"Where's your other half?" Rose asked, pushing up her glasses that were always sliding down her nose.
"We're not attached at the hip," she snapped. Really, she didn't mean to be so snotty with her cousin, but the last thing she wanted to talk about was Scorpius.
"Okay then, as long as everything is alright." Rose smiled and scooted closer to Lily. Rose Weasley was possibly the brightest student in all of Hogwarts, even brighter than Albus, much to his dismay; however, when it came to social cues she was utterly clueless.
"Just fabulous." Lily stabbed a piece of a toast and pretended that it was Jonathon Wood. This was all his fault. Him and his bloody tight jeans. Why didn't she just remember to lock her window? If she had, then she wouldn't be in this mess. Rose was prattling on about something, most likely about classes, and Lily just nodded every couple of minutes pretending to be interested. She really couldn't be bothered with Rose's enthusiasm this early in the morning. Lily didn't do perky.
"Lily? Lily?" Rose was shaking her shoulder now.
"Huh?" She looked over at her cousin and frowned. She had no idea what Rose had just asked her.
"Do you agree?" Rose asked again, her eyes wide and head tilted at an angle.
"Erm..." Lily wasn't sure how to respond. She had gotten herself in trouble several times by agreeing with Rose, especially because later it turned out that she had agreed to volunteer to hand out flyers to prevent cruelty against garden gnomes or some other ridiculous cause. She furrowed her brow and was about to ask Rose to repeat the question when she saw Scorpius get up from the table.
"Yeah, of course, I agree," Lily blurted out, "but I have to run. See you later, love."
She jumped up from her seat and scurried after Scorpius. Scorpius was fast, but there was no way he was going to get away from her now. He couldn't avoid her forever.

To be continued...
A/N: Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed the scene between Albus and Lily as I felt it showcased Albus' and Lily's relationship as well as hinted something important about Albus. Also, what do you think of Rose? She's one of my favourite characters of the entire fic. Writing her quirky personality was loads of fun. Okay, that's all. I'd love to hear your thoughts, concerns, or questions.
Until next time,
~Icicle
