Scorlily | Meant To Be

Vacation Alert

Scorpius Pov
'Hey who all are going home for vacation?'
'Me.' James said.
'Me.' sighed Sirius.

Scorpius had come to terms with sirius's family. Apparently they were as evil as the malfoy's.

'Me.' Peter said.

The vacations.. was his only chance.
It was the time with the least people..
If by any chance Lily didn't leave, he could have his way..
***
Scorpius woke up yawning on a cool morning of December with just three days left for Christmas..

Everybody would leave that very day- that very morning.
Scorpius wondered about his dream as he brushed his teeth...

He wasn't even present in the dream.. just a side viewer.

There were two girls. He couldn't remember who they were or anything about them..

'.. I am not ready for commitment like he is ..'
'I know.. actually I don't.. it's just reverse in my case.'

Worse. He couldn't even recognize their voices though he was sure they were pretty familiar.

Wait.. He was sure one was blonde.. could it be mckinnon or ... either Parkinson, maybe...

Could it be the Parkinson twins..?
Just as he thought it, it clicked.

And the whole dream came into picture.
For a second, then it crashed into pieces and scorpius was totally obliviated of the dream..
***
The gryffindor dorm seemed quite empty. The only gryffindor sixth years left in the castle were he, Remus, Evans and Charlotte.

It was late in the night. And only the four of them were left in the common room.
Charlotte was sleeping on a couch while Lily was reading a book. On the other hand, Remus and Scorpius were having a tough game of wizard chess.

'Rook to D4.'
Scorpius watched as remus's rook raced forward and sliced his bishop.

He was getting chopped in one of the only games he was great at.

'Bishop to G5' he muttered as a failed attempt.
'Dont do it' but it was too late as remus's knight galloped and the knight got down and cut its head off.

Boy, wizards chess was brutal.
Scorpius looked behind him to see who had spoken.

It was Lily. Who had kept the book aside and watching the game.

'Take your knight to A4'
Scorpius did as she said.
In a matter of few moves, she turned the tables.

'Queen to H8. Checkmate.. Woah!'

Remus smiled. 'Thats cheating. You took help of an outsider.'

'Whatever makes you happy, lupin. Thanks, Evans.' scorpius said.

'Don't mention it, Rogers.'

'Hey how about we play doubles with you and Charlotte.'
'Nah, I better catch some sleep' she yawned.

'Me too' agreed Remus.
That just left him with a sleeping Charlotte on the couch.

There had to be a connection with Charlotte Stephens arriving before two days before him.. with her not going home for Christmas...

As she slept, she vibrantly reminded him of someone familiar.. someone he had dated before..

That wasn't possible..
Scorpius wrapped his jacket around her and put a blanket over her so she wouldn't catch a cold.

He was so sleepy that he didn't notice Charlotte Stephen's originally not so blondish hair had been replaced by gorgeous elegant red hair.

As soon as he left.. her features wore out..
What he didn't know.. if he would come out from his dorm.. the whole mystery would be solved.

Instead, he fell asleep as dreams from the past floated all over him.
***
It was Christmas eve. Scorpius looked in his watch. It was just six.. there were still 2-4 hours left before anyone woke up.
He tried sleeping but he was sleep deprived at the moment.

So here he was, at the back of the room of the requirement.

He was interrupted by a person he didn't know even existed..

But only too recognisable with his greasy hair matted all over his face, his eyes an startling grey shade.
His expression, like he had just murdered a person.

He didn't know what to say.
But the first words scorpius told him couldn't get more ridiculous.

'Sup dude.'
