Setting: Gryffindor Common Room
Trigger Warnings: Mild fantasy violence
It has been twelve hours since the students first entered the common room, Yet the troll is STILL in the dungeon. Some fall asleep up in their dorms, while others fall asleep on the couches of the common room. Jack, for some reason, falls asleep on the carpet by the fire, nestled under a blanket with a pillow under his head. Scorpius holds Lily, who had fallen asleep on his shoulder. He's just about to fall asleep too when Jack awakens and speaks up.
Jack (Half asleep): Oi, Malfoy.
Scorpius: What do you want, Jason?
Jack: That's Jack.
Scorpius: Right, okay, Jack, what do you want?
Jack: Could I ask you something?
Scorpius: If you're wondering what the howler from my dad said, I wouldn't be able to tell you.
Jack: Nah, fam, it's not about that. I wanted to ask how you mustered up the courage to tell Potter how you felt. One of my brothers' a bare simp for a chav in our year and he keeps chickening out on fessing to her still.
Scorpius: Which one?
Jack: You know I can't just tell you that! That's a Goyle Triplet secret still, blud!
Scorpius: Let me guess; Jake fancies Jasmine Nott?
Jack (shocked): Wha- How'd you-?
Scorpius: He looks at her the same way I've been looking at Lily for years; It's safe to say I've known for ages, mate. Anyway, if you must know how I ended up getting so lucky, I'll tell you if it helps.
Jack sits up to listen.
Scorpius: After you and your brothers almost gave her third-degree burns, we kind of just got caught up in the moment. Eventually, a time will come when Jake'll be looking at Jasmine, and he'll just know the time is right. The words will just roll off his tongue whether he wants them to or not. He'll be terrified at first, but if he knows for sure he wants to be with her, his love for her will override any fear he may have.
Jack: Is that how it went for you?
Scorpius: That's exactly how it went for me. I looked into Lily's eyes, and something came over me. That something told me to tell her everything. And so, I did.
Lily stirs, but not because she hears Scorpius or Jack. She stirs because she's having a nightmare recounting the events that occurred the day Polly died. Jack, thinking she did hear, remains calm, but goes pale.
Lily (jolts awake): No!
Scorpius: Lily? Are you alright?
Jack (going back to sleep): You heard nothing, by the way, Potter.
As Lily talks to Scorpius about her nightmare, James enters from the dormitories with a flock of little birds summoned from his wand. He looks down from the balcony connecting the dorms as Louis hurries in after him.
James (quietly to Louis): Is he a wasteman, bruv?!
Louis (quietly): Oh my dayz, not this again, blud. Listen, yeah? You do what you want, fam, but I'm warning you: If one of those birds hits Goyle, the triplets'll start a bare beef ting, and it won't be peng still.
James: You think I'm scared of them, fam? Malfoy's in the right position, (takes out his wand) I'm going in.
Scorpius (holding Lily): It'll be alright. I'm right here... (slowly leans in and kisses her)
James (whispers): Oppugno!
The birds dart towards Scorpius, and barely miss him because he had just leaned in. One hits Jack square in the back of the head. He jolts awake as James and Louis dart back up to their dorm and Scorpius and Lily look in James and Louis' direction.
Jack: Ouch!
Scorpius (to Lily): That was James wasn't it?
Lily: I'd say it was. I'm telling you, if he pulls a stunt like that again, I'll be writing to Mum and Dad!
Jack (tired of the bullcrap): So that was your brother?
Lily: Yeah.
Jake and Jason, both having been awoken by James' buffoonery, quietly approach Jack. Albus also wakes up.
Jake (to Jack): Did that wasteman get you, fam?
Jack: Yeah, bruv. He's bare vexed about Malfoy still.
A moment of silence. Jake angrily rolls up his sleeves, catching Albus' attention.
Jake (quietly angered): Rahh, (walks back to his makeshift bed and grabs his wand) No one's bare messing around with my brother and getting away with it.
Albus: Jake?
Jake storms off to James' dorm.
Albus (more alarmed): Jake?!
Albus gets up and hurries after Jake. Jason turns and looks at Scorpius and Lily.
Jason (angered): Right, I dunno what Shakespearian tragedy is taking place between your families, but you best sort out whatever the frig is happening with that dinghed, 'cause now it's bare impacting the rest of us like you wouldn't believe, blud.
Jason goes after Jake and Albus. Jack turns over to go back to sleep.
Lily: You know, I hate to admit it, but he has a point.
Scorpius: Yeah. Something tells me eloping isn't gonna cut it.
Lily: If he's gonna keep going like this-
Slight rumblings can be heard in the boys' dorms.
Lily cont.: The only way to spare everyone's sanity is to help our dads make amends.
We cut to black.
