For the rest of the week Lily and Scorpius camped in the London forests, keeping close to the civilisation across the road. Even though they knew the Death Eaters weren't after the two and knew that they had no idea that Lily and Scorpius were the ones with the Seedling, they still couldnt help that sinking feeling of fear dripping into their stomachs every now and then.
Within the first two days of nuturing the Seed as much as they could they noticed it change into a Seedling. A crack through the middle of it pronouncing a small sprout of baby leaves.
As the pair weren't of age yet they had to camp muggle style.
'How are you so good at this?' Scorpius asked one night when he couldn't make a fire for the chicken wings they had bought from a muggle store close to the woods.
'I used to have this fear of what would happen if we just suddenly lost our magic? And so I've been doing a lot of muggle activities since then.'
'Hm...' he had sighed before getting back to lighting the fire.
The week they had spent together was amazing in Lily's opinion. She had taught him how to fish when they found a stream. And he taught her to not take life too seriously or cautiously.
'I think that's the worst thing a person could do...' he had mumbled while staring at the starry night sky.
'What is?' She had looked over at his eyes as they reflected the moon. It was probably the clearest sky London had seen in a millennia.
'To live life filled with fear of the unknown. People are so afraid of dying and of embarrassment and of-of fear itself, that they completely shut themselves out to the things around them. They live in constant fear, and it's so sad to see, Lily.' Lily had put her arm around him and they sat in a comfortable silence.
The presence of Scorpius made Lily feel like she was at home.
The Seedling kept growing with the love and joy shared around it, however, on the night before they were due to return to Hogwarts the Seedling whispered into Lily's mind once again.
'No way, a mountain lion cannot take on a shark, there is no way it would even get that close to water considering it's a cat.' Scorpius laughed.
Lily's eyes watered with laughter, 'you're impossible! They can too and you know-' Lily went silent and sobered as she heard the voice of the Seedling in her mind.
Lily Luna, the love and kindness you have both exhibited towards me is astounding and I thank you both. The pure positive magic I am feeling is beginning to show and the bond between you and I has strengthened. However, the Death Eaters have noticed the change in their magic and are becoming antsy.
'How antsy?' Lily asked, Scorpius was staring at her wide eyed.
Do not begin fearing, your family and friends are fine. But they are beginning to terrorize muggles. They believe that the more lives they take the stronger their power will get.
'They're killing people?!' Lily stood up. Scorpius copied her move, looking around at the jar containing the fast growing Seedling.
Yes. I'll need you to stay positive at this hard time Lily.
'How can I possibly stay positive when people out there are dying?' Lily's heart was beginning to quicken. She began pacing. 'They're dying because of me.' Lily muttered.
No they're dying because of me Lily. You're helping me fight the evil of those people. I need you to remember that.
Lily was gasping for air now. She was going to have a panic attack soon, she could feel the blood throbbing through her veins and the persistant heat prickling between her rib cage. Scorpius grabbed her shoulders but she quickly tugged herself free.
'Lily, calm down, you're going to make the Seedling become negative.' He grabbed her shoulders again and this time succeeded in holding her still. 'Look at me Lily, look.' She met his eyes but they didn't have the same calming effect they usually did because, he too, was terrified.
'Distract me.' Lily demanded.
'What?'
'I need you to distract me. I'm going to have a panic attack soon.' She was starting to feel her head gradually get heavier. She was going to pass out.
Scorpius looked around him,'um... knock knock'
'Who's there?'
'You.'
'You, who?'
'Yoohoo, big summer blow out.' Lily stared at him her heart still thumping as fast as ever. 'Okay that didn't work...' he looked around again and then stopped as his face turned pink. Lily doubled over. She felt light headed.
Lily felt her chin being softly pulled up and then she saw Scorpius' face pull in towards her. Her breath caught as his lips collided with hers.
It was a strange feeling to be kissed. Her ears seemed empty of sound and yet so full of it. She heard everything like she was under water. A kind of muted and yet still there kind of sound. The comfortable heat on her lips was beginning to ease away but she didn't want it to go. Lily didn't know what she was doing, all she knew was that her hand was in Scorpius' hair and was pulling him in again. He stiffened at her touch and just as Lily was about to pull away he wound his arms around her waist and pulled her into him, deepening the kiss.
She didn't know how long they had stood there kissing, she didn't want it to end. Eventually, with her hand still placed on the side of his neck she pulled back and slowly opened her eyes. She felt as light as a feather. She looked up at Scorpius' face and noticed his eyes were still closed and his lips were pulled up into a smile. Lily grinned just as Scorpius opened his eyes. He smiled down at her.
'Feeling better?' His voice sounded husky. Lily wanted to grab him and kiss him again. Instead she nodded her head.
'How'd you know that would work?' She asked him, sitting down beside the Seedling.
'Read it somewhere.' He replied. Lily laughed. There was a moment of silence. Lily couldn't tell whether it was an awkward silence or not. But Scorpius quickly covered it by a game of exploding snap.
