Lily Luna/Scorpius drabble; for playwright82 (Kristen), for the If You Dare Challenge (Prompt #614: Kissed) on HPFC, and for The Greenhouses Competition (Tulip category: write something happy) on HPFC.
Takes place in Scorpius' 5th year and Lily's 3rd.
"What are you doing up so early, Little Potter?" Scorpius called down the Slytherin table to the lone figure sitting at the end.
Lily scowled as he sat down next to her. "Don't call me that,"
"Whatever you say, Little Potter," He smirked, ruffling her hair. Lily scowled harder. "You still didn't answer my question,"
"What? Oh – Quidditch Tryouts are today," The redhead bit her lip nervously.
"Quidditch Tryouts are at 10, Lily," Scorpius reminded her. "It's 7:30,"
Lily shrugged. "I want to get some practice in before trials start," She explained. "Where's Al?" She asked, suddenly realizing her brother wasn't with Scorpius, a rare occurrence.
Scorpius laughed. "In the dorms asleep," He told her. "What position are you trying out for?" He asked curiously.
Lily mumbled something under her breath.
"What was that, Little Potter?" Scorpius asked. "I couldn't hear you,"
"Chaser," Lily repeated.
Scorpius smirked. "Looks like we'll be working together then," He paused. "If you make it, that is,"
"Do you think I will?" Lily asked. "You've seen me play when you've come over to see Al,"
"I think there's a chance," Scorpius grinned.
The corner of Lily's mouth lifted towards a smile. "Thanks Scorpius,"
"Anytime Lils," He stood. "C'mon, I'll help you practice,"
Lily grinned widely. "Seriously?" She stood and hugged him. "Thanks Scorpius, you're the best,"

"Scorpius, I did it! I made it!" Lily shouted, flying towards the blonde as fast as her feet could carry her. She flung her arms around the older boy, who chuckled and returned the embrace.
"So you did," Scorpius told her as she stepped out of the embrace. They started to walk out of the stadium. "Looks like we'll be playing together then, doesn't it?"
Lily laughed. "Thanks," She said quietly, blushing. "You know, for helping me this morning," She leaned up and kissed his cheek quickly, then turned and ran towards her friends. Scorpius watched her go, a smile on his face.
