Lily wasn't sure if she was more nervous this time or last time. Her father told her that if she was happy, he approved of Scorpius, but now he actually had to meet her boyfriend. Would that change his mind? It wasn't that she had doubts that Scorpius was in fact different than his family, she knew he was. But would Scorpius really prove to be worthy?
Lily loved him, but everyone else jumped to the worst conclusions. Or mostly everyone, anyway. As her father knew Draco personally, he had a right to jump to conclusions and she sincerely hoped that Scorpius would be on his best behavior tonight for the sake of gaining his approval. This could be a turning point for their relationship if things went well.
She left the cabin with Scorpius and walked toward the Italian restaurant to meet her father there. She hadn't even told Scorpius where they were going. Just that it would be over lunch today. "Are you sure you're ready for this?" she asked as they approached the restaurant. Was her father already there? She took a deep breath as she opened the door and walked in.
