Setting: Outside Charms Classroom

Trigger Warnings: Brief mention of pedophilia (Due to Paris from Romeo and Juliet being mentioned)


Scorpius walks Lily to her Charms class. As they stop in front of the door, Lily remembers everything Simon had said before.

Lily: Hey, Scorpius?

Scorpius: Yeah?

Lily (wary): Is it just me or does something seem a bit off with Simon?

Scorpius: What do you mean?

Lily: Well, think about it; We've never had an American exchange student before, have we?

Scorpius: No, come to think of it, I don't think we have.

Lily: And we never saw Simon get sorted in September.

Scorpius: He said he got sorted in private, which... Come to think of it, if they were to sort some sort of exchange student, maybe they would do it in front of everybody just after the first year sorting. I thought the private sorting made sense when he first told me, but now that you mention it...

Lily: They'd probably sort him in front of everyone so that way everyone knows why there's an American running around.

Scorpius: Exactly... Then again, he did give a few details about life at Ilvermorny.

Lily: Life at Ilvermorny?

Scorpius: Yeah. He said his headmistress is a closeted blood supremacist and he has a charms professor named L.D. who aids the Muggleborns.

Lily: "L.D."?

Scorpius: Yeah.

A beat. Lily wishes she had a professor named L.D.

Lily: Man, he seems like a cool professor.

Scorpius: He'd probably get on with Professor Owens.

Lily (liking this idea): Oh yeah, totally! They'd be the duo of the century!

Scorpius: Add Professor Longbottom to that and you've got-

Lily (finishing Scorpius' sentence): The greatest trio since Dad, Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione!

Scorpius: Ayo, that's what I was gonna say!

Lily (amused): Was that a Frozen reference?

Scorpius: Yeah, it sure was. That said, Hans from Frozen can suck it. I don't claim him.

Lily: After what he did to Anna?! Exactly! He'll never be half the man or boyfriend you are, trust me.

Scorpius: I mean, it's not hard to be a better man or boyfriend than Hans from Frozen.

Lily: Fair point. I mean, let's face it; nobody likes Hans from Frozen.

Scorpius: He's right up there with Pedo-Paris from Romeo and Juliet.

Lily (wheezing): Not "Pedo-Paris", I-

Scorpius: Hey, dude was around twenty-five and pursuing a thirteen going on fourteen-year-old. By today's standards, he should be locked up!

They both laugh, then kiss. Scorpius lifts Lily off her feet. Professor Flitwick opens the door. The pair break from the kiss as soon as the door opens.

Flitwick: Ahh, young love! Such a sweet thing! Too bad class starts in two minutes, otherwise, I would have left you two be!

Lily: Thanks, Professor! Anyway, I should go now.

Scorpius: Yeah I should too. I'll keep an eye on Simon at the library and get back to you. See you after class! I love you!

Lily: See ya! Love you too!

Professor Flitwick exits, followed by Lily. Scorpius heads to class.
