The Dursleys entered the living room with nervous looks on their faces. Even Harry looked unsure but as soon as he saw me his eyes lit up.

I couldn't help but relive the evening after Christmas eve again and again when the Dursleys had visited. The bad old memories left behind, it had been a fresh start for dad and Uncle Dudley. Turns out all the worrying I had done over James and Fred ruining the evening and scaring the Dursleys away by their pranks was what it was, plain worries. They were just trying to rile me up by slipping snippets of their "devious plan" accidently when I happened to pass by their "secret hideout".

Christmas holidays were now over and here I was, back to Hogwarts, waiting on top of the astronomy tower at midnight for none other than the great Scorpius Malfoy himself, who I must add was already fifteen minutes late. I am going to…. I couldn't complete my thought because just then two strong arms had wrapped around my waist.

"Hey, chocolate…..", Chocolate?.....

"Chocolate?"

"What you don't like it?"

"Well, what can I say…its….sweet but wasn't there anything else you could think of….chocolate?!.."I finished with a light laugh.

"Its just everyone calls you Lils, Lilykinns, Lily flower or just flower, they even call you red. I thought you would like a new nickname. All the others either signify the flower you are named after or your hair. I thought it would be a nice change if I named you for the the colour of your eye. Because I am so much in love with these chocolate pools, I cant stop thinking about them and……."

"shhhh… I get it..stop blabbering. Although I must admit you look adorable when you blabber.."I said with a slight giggle escaping from my lips. "oh and however adorable and lovely your gesture maybe, please don't ever use that nickname for me……"

He just smiled in reply and captured me in a tender kiss. I didn't realize how much I had missed him all this time until now.

"Ummmm….Scor.."

"Yeah"

"Wasn't there something you were going to tell me?"

"I was?"

"About the locket…"

"Oh yeah, that….ummm its nothing..forget it."

"Scor I cant just forget it…I waited all this time…I want to know..", I said pouting. Okay I know I sounded like a child whining and all that but it wasn't fair to keep me waiting all this time and then tell me it was nothing.

"Lily…"

"Don't Lily me…"

"I…."

"Now…."

"Well, okay." He sighed. He picked up the locket lightly and placed it in his palm looking at me he cleared his throat and said "whenever you feel like you want to see me or something and we can't talk all you have to do is kiss the locket right where your names written and… well why don't you try it and see for yourself. Kiss it…"

I did as he told me to do and I was amazed at what I saw next.

The locket was now open with a small version of me and him kissing near the lake. That was the first time we had confessed our real feelings for each other.

"The locket will show any memory of both of us together that you are currently thinking of…so it means if you think of another memory, any memory related to us the locket will…display it. It s kind of like those muggle moving pictures..you can hear and see exactly what had happened that time…."

"I love it."

"yyou do?"

"Afcourse I do. Why would you think that I wouldn't? Oh and why didn't you want to tell me this before?"

"Its just I thought…."

"Let me guess. You thought I wouldn't like it, or you must have even thought why would I want to remember you because you are a slytherin and an enemy's son or some shit like that, right?"

"Uhhhh…"

"Scor, why cant you just stop being so self depreciating. You know very well, I love you and I love you for who you are. I give a damn to what our parents past was…I…."

"I get it….sorry. I promise I would never do this again alright…I am sorry".

"Its okay. Just stop thinking of yourself as…as…just stop thinking like that, or I swear I'll sqeueze those brains of yours out and feed it to the thestrals…"

"wow…that's harsh. But I'll keep that in mind for sure. Promise. I love you."

"I love you too."

"Just go and ask her out already, why don't you?" we were sitting in the great hall. It was the morning of the last match before the finals. Fred sat staring at a brunette from seventh year on the Ravenclaw table, named Katherine. "What's the worst that could happen?"

"She could say no, duh" I just rolled my eyes at him.

"Really Fred....stop being an idiot, will you?"

"U…"

"Alright, look at it this way. This is your last year as well as hers. Both of you will have your own careers after you graduate and blah, blah, blah….so if you ask her out you might end up getting married to her after school and have little mischievous reds and brunettes running around causing havock or you could just sit here and never ask her out so that after school she finds another guy, gets married and has little bespectacled brunette Ravenclaws who would do nothing but sit in one place with their heads buried in big heavy books. Now, what do you choose? Think about those poor little kids, atleast….."

"Jeez, Lils. That's too much to even think about and I haven't even asked her out…and well you do have a point…I guess I'll go with the first one." He replied smiling.

"I knew this would get to you. Okay go now and get your girl." I said trying to push him of the bench, but afcourse since he's stronger than me it didn't have any effect on him. He just laughed and ruffled my hair getting up. Seriously, when will they understand I hate that.

Just then the Ravenclaw team entered the great hall to a lot of whistles and hoots just behind them the Slytherin team entered with their captain Scorpious Malfoy in the lead. Except for the Slytherin table the whole hall was booing when I got up and clapped and started hooting. Come on even though Gryffindors and Slyths are supposed to be rivals, that was my boyfriends team. I was obviously going to show support to them. But at my display of support the whole of Great hall just turned to me some of them glaring, the others throwing disbelieving looks at me, some just staring. But I had eyes for only one person, who was currently walking towards me with a big smile on his face.

"Hey."

"Hey. So are you ready to kick some Ravenclaw ass?"

He just laughed and wrapped his arms around me. We both moved to the Slytherin table together so that Scor could finish having his breakfast. We could have eaten at the Gryffie table but well its not too encouraging for a team if their captain abandons them to sit with his girlfriend from a rival house to have breakfast on the day of an important match, is it?

After the match :

I had been sitting in the Slytherin stands cheering with Scorpius' green scarf wrapped around my neck. The final score had been 210 for 200. Slyths lost by ten points. So here I was trying to get a moody Scorpius to get up and take a shower. He had been sitting here in the locker room looking gloomy and quiet for the past hour. Everyone had left but Scorpius wouldn't budge.

I kept saying random things like, "Scor, whats the problem. Its not like you guys are not in the finals. I mean even though you lost you are still in on the finals right.", "It wasn't your fault score. You and the other chasers actually nailed the game you kept scoring against the ravens" or, "They only won because their seeker caught the snitch first by a matter of seconds, if I must add.", and finally, "You will be playing against us in the finals and do you think you can even think about winning against us lions if you sit here and brood?" That got a response from him. He just snorted and got up to collect his things, ready for a shower. "You know you can keep dreaming for the quidditch cup because this year its going to be ours."

"Oh…you wish. You know what, lets make a deal. If Gryffindor wins the cup you will do whatever I ask you to for a whole month. Even if its during the summer holidays."

"You're on. But if Slyths win you my darling chocolate" I grimaced at that stupid nick name, but he continued like nothing happened…idiot, "you will bend to my commands only for a day. I am not that harsh see.."

"No you're not harsh. You're cunning. After all, you are a Slyth so I guess I'll just have to be careful. So yeah it's a deal. "

He just smirked. Idiot.

A/N: I am back. I know its been a long time. Its just that I was going through a bad bad block. Harry and Dudley were supposed to have a long conversation and the flashback was supposed to be a longer one but I dint like it so I took it out. I know a lot of you are waiting to see what happens between harry and Dudley. I promise there'll be a more detailed flashback next chap or I might put up a one shot companion piece for it. I need to work on it a lot. This chap since nothing much happens is more like a filler but that's just because I wanted to go on with the story and get out of the stupid writers block.

Thank you for reading and DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW=D

Lots of Love
