Scott remained silent as he waited for just Lily to calm. As she spoke, he was once again unsure of what to say. It had been obvious to him she'd had a nightmare, but what was he supposed to say? he watched her a moment, though his tired brown eyes. "What was it about? If you don't mind my asking, that is." Scott had heard it helped to talk about dreams to allow the dreamer to fall back asleep.

"The usual," Lily said quietly. "Only this time with a twist. I saw my mum and she said, come to me, Lily. Come be with me. I reached out to take her hand and it was cold. And her face turned cold and then she was death, laughing at me, trying to take me away as it takes everyone else." She was shaking silently as she said this, still frightened by it.

"I doubt it meant anything. I mean it might have just been because you're stressed about what happened earlier, that's probably what the new twist was all about." Scott wasn't sure what to do to comfort her. Maybe he should pull her into another hug? No, he would continue to talk to her, if she changed the circumstances then sure, but not he wouldn't do the changing.
he noticed she was shaking, and he would have pulled her into a hug had he not already made the decision not to.

"I'm sorry for keeping you up," Lily said. "With quidditch tomorrow and all. I shouldn't have - it was wrong of me. I just feel so scared and alone sometimes and all I want is someone to be there." She fell silent.

"Oh Lily, I don't mind staying up," Scott grinned at her. Quickly, and against his decision, Scott moved closer to the flower, put his arms around her, and lightly held her. "The quidditch game isn't even a factor right now. I think I'll be fine, even without sleep I'll do alright tomorrow." Scott looked down at the girl in his arms and smiled. "Or is it today? I don't feel like moving to see my watch."

Lily gave a small smile. She liked it when Scott held her in his arms. "I think it's today," she mummured. "It was already quite late when I left. But I have to do well, I know I have to. I wasn't here for the last game, and I can't let them down again." She closed her eyes. "I put to much on me to do well, I know I do. I'm so uptight. Nic accused me of that and he was right."

"Today it is then," Scott replied softly. "And you'll do fine. You've been on the team, and you had reason for not being here. If I'm correct, you were in Germany when they had their last game. If they didn't want you on the team they would've kicked you off, right?" he asked with a big grin. his arms tightened just a bit as he lightly rested his chin on her head again. "I'm the one who should be worried as I this will be my chance to prove my skills to the team and to the rest of the school," he ended with a sigh.

"At least they like you," Lily said. "I don't even know how I'm still on the team. All I can say is that miracles happen. You'll do fine. You're filling in for chaser today right? That's what I play, chaser. Me and Allegra and whoever we can find to stick in there. Don't worry about proving yourself. Just play with your heart."

"Huh? Who likes me?" he asked dumbly as he pulled away from her with a smile. A confused look was on his face as he looked at her. "Do you mean the team or the school? 'Cause if you meant the team, well, I wouldn't be too sure of that right now with the way they all reacted to the plan compared to me." his grin widened as he looked at just Lily. "And if you meant the school, I'm sure there a few who would disagree."
"And I'm not sure about playing chaser with you ladies. I think it might be a little strange to get on the same brainwave as you two. And as strange as it might be, I think I wouldn't mind being on the same brainwave since it would mean we could play a bloody good game." he winked at the girl as he pulled her closer to him.

Lily laughed. "Well at least most people like you," she said, rolling her eyes at him. "But I think you'll do just fine with me and Legra. Just be open and aware of your surroundings. You looked good in practice."
She sighed a happy, contented sigh. "I like this." She said. "You make me smile and here in your arms I feel safe." She had nothing more to say so she fell silent.

"I'm glad to make you smile, and I'm glad you feel safe." Scott meant both things. If just Lily was happy, he was too. he gently squeezed her before he continued, as she had said something that he wanted to bring up. "So I looked in practice? Is that the only time, or do I look good other times?"

Lily rolled her eyes. "I meant you looked good in your playing," she said. "I generally don't look at guys and judge them on how they look. I just don't really. I don't know why, I'm just not that way. I guess I've had some really attractive people be total jerks when I thought they would be nicer because they looked nice, so now I just try not to think about how people look."

"I didn't ask if you were judging me. I was simply asking if I looked good," he said this gently as he'd meant what he'd said last to be a joke. "And I knew what you meant, because I'm really not that concieted, or at least I don't think I am." he drew away from her once more to look at her face. Carefully he lifted her chin in his hand and looked into her eyes. "You look good, too. Actually let me re-phrase that: you looked good too." Scott finished with a wink as he looked at her. he really did think she looked good, but he noticed that she looked good all of the time.

"You're not conceited Scott free," Lily said with a smile, using the nickname she had given him. "Or at least I don't think you are at any rate." While he studied her face, she studied him. "You look-looked good too, if you must make me thing about him." She gave him a just-joking smile.

While he looked at Lily, he realized if he'd wanted to, he could easily steal a kiss from her. he didn't though. Instead, Scott pulled her back into a hug, she'd said she felt safe in his arms when she was in them, so it was a safe bet. "Whether you were joking or not, thank you. And I wasn't joking." he left it at that.
