Lily Potter And the missing auror

Chapter 19 It Was Scorpius

Over the next few weeks Lily an her friends stayed quiet. Every week at least one person went missing but came back with only minor injures. Lily got off her crutches within a day and enjoyed walking again. But although they didn't do anything about the kidnappings, it was all they talked about.

"We have to do something," Lily moaned for the hundredth time.

"What do you suggest then?" Hugo snapped.

"Excuse me for wanting to help," Lily said glaring at him.

"Seriously guys just wise up," Flynn said sighing.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Lily asked angrily.

"Ever since you showed up again, Lils all you and Hugo do is fight," Zelia explained while trying to finish her potions essay.

"Not true," Hugo argued.

But Lily realised it was true. Hugo and her had been disagreeing a lot more that usual. Within minutes she had decided it was Hugo's fault.

"Stop arguing with everything for gods sake," Flynn said.

His sort temper was because of the difficult charms assignment.

"I'm not," Hugo said.

Flynn and Zelia rolled their eyes at each other.

Lily had noticed this a lot lately. The way they teamed up against herself and Hugo. How they walked together in the corridors. The way they always made little signals at each other. She could tell that Flynn was already crushing on Zelia, but her friend was too absorbed in everything to notice. Lily though saw the way Flynn had relaxed at Zelia's touch in the hospital, the way when Zelia sat beside him he would move towards her, how he was always staring at her and the way he fixed his hair when she walked into the room. Zelia on the other hand showed no sighs of crushing on him, she walked into the room with out brushing or even glancing at her hair, she treated him like her friend, never acted awkward around him and didn't notice Flynn's little signs of his crush.

These thoughts made Lily's spirits worse, if Zelia didn't like, like Flynn then it would put a huge dent in their friendship.

"Earth to Lily," Zelia said waving her hand in front of Lily's eyes.

"Sorry," Lily said.

"Anyway, we were just talking about how Scorpius has been sick for the last week," Hugo said.

"Well he's obviously been kidnapped, why, maybe they thought he was a ferret," Lily said.

Flynn and Hugo laughed but Zelia frowned.

"But his friends said they've seen him, they say he's in their room," Zelia argued.

"They also say that Scorpius is cool...they lie," Lily said sleepily.

"Or maybe they THINK he's in bed," Zelia said like it was really obvious.

"He's the kidnapper!" Hugo exclaimed.

Zelia nodded but Flynn and Lily laughed.

"What's so funny," Zelia said loudly.

"Nothing," Flynn said quickly.

"Just the suggestion that Scorpius could successfully kidnap and torture aurors not to mention take kids from Hogwarts," Lily added.

Zelia frowned, "His dad then...what's his name? Darco?"

Now it was Lily's turn to roll her eyes. She would never tell anyone this, but she knew her father trusted Draco Malfoy. And if her dad trusted him, she trusted him.
