Harry Potter Next Generation-Lily's first year

News

2 days later they decided to meet up. Scorpius could actually make it and they could make a plan to help Lily. Albus and James walked downstairs silently. It would be a couple hours before Scorpius, Alice and Lucy would arrive. Harry was sitting at the head of table with a paper in his hand and and Ginny right behind him. Lily was in her room, all she did now. Albus was about to comment on his dad's particularly glum face when a flash of green flames bust and there standing was Draco and Scorpius Malfoy. "Scorp! What are you doing here? You weren't supposed to be coming until later" Albus asks as the young Malfoy walks over to them. They hug.

"I don't know dad said he and Mr.Potter said they have something they have to tell us..." Scorpius said looking to their parents who were in front of them. Harry sitting and Ginny to his right and Draco to his left. Harry sighs and slides the paper across the table so the kids could see. Scorpius' eyes widen in surprise. "S-She escaped? Delphi escaped?" Scorpius stammers.

"Yes. Yes she did. And she...she's been out for over a month." Draco says with a sigh.

"What?!" Scorpius screamed.

"We didn't realize until yesterday" Harry speaks up.

"What are you gonna do? She's dangerous! A lot more dangerous then you realized last time! She's escaped a supposed unescapable prison! Just because she doesn't have a time turner anymore doesn't mean she won't find one or another way to bring him back!" Albus yells making everyone look at him.

"We know Albus. We're trying. It's harder then it looks" Harry says standing up.

"Well duh!! She's a psychopath! She killed a kid last time! She used cruciartus on Scorp! It's gonna be hard! Especially since she's been out for months!!!" Albus yells tears threatening to leave his eyes. He grabs James and Scorp and drags them upstairs to James' room.

"Al you ok?" James asks him after he closed his bedroom door.

Albus let out a shaky breathe "Yeah I'm fine. I'm sorry. But...but it's hard. They don't have a plan and neither do we! We have to get her and stop her to save Lily and maybe the whole Wizarding world too." He chuckled and sat on James' bed.

"That's what your owl was about?" Scorpius asks and Albus just nods. "If I known I would've come sooner"

"Couldn't very well tell you in an owl now could I?"

"No. I guess not. But what's with Lily?"

"Delphi is training her. In the room of requirement. And we don't know what they're doing but it can't be good considering who she is and what she wanted last time" Albus explains with a sigh.

Scorpius shakes his head and sits next to Albus rubbing his back like his mom did for his dad when he had a rough(kinky) day at work, "Who else knows?"

"Alice Longbottom and our cousin Lucy" James said looking out the window.

"Are they coming over to?" Scorpius asks.

"Yeah because we have to think of a plan too" Albus says standing up. "We need to get her away from Delphi or at least see what she's planning"

"What if Lucy and Alice get more info out of Lils?" James asks.

"She might not even know what Delphi's full plan is" Albus points out.James sighed and sat down on a bean bag chair next to his dresser. Scorpius was about to speak up when the bedroom door opened. Alice Longbottom and Lucy Weasley walked in, seemingly upset. Lucy sat down on the floor and Alice flopped down next to James.

"What's your guys' problem?" James asked glancing at the girls on the floor.

"Justin Corner is trying to get a date with Alice—" Lucy started.

"And is super annoying and I hate him! He's arrogant and thinks he's better than most because he's "smart" and a Ravenclaw" Alice finished with a sigh. Lucy groaned and James smirked a bit.

"I think you should give him a chance..." Lucy said with a shrug and Alice shook her head slightly.

"Now let's get to the real problem,the one not about Alice's love life. How're we going to get more info out of Lils?" Albus buts in.

"Me and Luce could ask her more stuff" Alice says unsure.

"I guess that could work but if Lils tells Delphi she would probably know what's going on," James speaks up. Albus is about to add on when they hear Ginny call for them to come down.

"Ugh" Albus says with a sigh and stands up. Everyone follows suit and James pats his back. They walk down.

"Kids-" Harry starts.

"Have you found anything out?" Albus interrupts.

Harry sighs, "Yes. She's been spotted by Hogwarts. In the forbidden forest."

Scorpius lets out a shaky breath "what? A-at Hogwarts?"

"Yes-"

"Do something!! Do you know how it feels to be tortured?! It makes you wish you died! And you guys aren't doing anything! Try harder!" Scorpius screams tears streaming down his face. He turns on his heel and storms out of the house. Albus runs after him. He sits on the curb next to him. "Go away Al" Scorpius says softly.

"No." Albus says as he hugs Scorpius, "We'll figure it out. Together. I won't let her get you again. I promise."

"You can't promise that Al."

"Maybe not...but I can promise I won't leave you and we will figure this out together and this time we aren't alone" Albus says wiping the tears of Scorpius' cheek with his thumb. He's so cute... can't do that! He's dating Rose...Merlin he makes this harder than it ought to be.

"Thanks Al" Scorpius says softly. Albus stands up and holds his hands out which Scorpius gladly takes.

"Wanna head inside?" Albus said letting go of his hands.

"Yeah. Ok"
