A/N: Really sorry for the delay, been super busy and haven't had much time to get on here! Anyway, here's chapter 2, I found this one quite difficult to write, not quite happy with it, and it's really short, but it's the best I could do, hope you enjoy it :)

Disclaimer: Harry Potter is still unfortunately not mine.

"What on earth are you doing up so early Potter?" Scorpius called over to the lone figure sat at the Slytherin table.

Lily looked up from her mouthful of toast as the older boy took a seat next to her, smiling a little anxiously at the older boy.

"Quidditch trials," she answered simply, biting her lip nervously, looking back down at her plate of food.

"Quidditch trials are at 10. It's 8:30 Lily," Scorpius smiled kindly at the second year, starting to put food onto his plate.

"I couldn't sleep. Everyone in my family is so good at Quidditch, I don't know what I'll do if I'm not good enough. Why are you down so early yourself?" Lily asked, trying to change the conversation.

"I always have breakfast at this time. It's nice to have a bit of time to yourself sometimes, and I wake early anyway," Scorpius shrugged as he took a bite of egg from his plate.

"Fair enough," Lily nodded, picking her toast back up and taking another bite.

"You shouldn't feel like you have to be the same as your family though, they'll be happy with you whether you make it onto the team or not," Scorpius said after a couple minutes of awkward silence, looking up at Lily with a smile.

"I know, but I really want to be on the team," Lily answered, her desire obvious in her tone and on her face.

"Well just try your best, and I'm sure you'll be great," Scorpius said encouragingly, patting the younger girl on the shoulder.

"Scorpius, I got picked for the team! I did it," Lily rushed over to the older boy as he was walking across the Quidditch pitch after Quidditch trials and flung her arms around him in a hug without even thinking. Scorpius stood in shock for a second before chuckling and returning the embrace.

"See, no need for you to be so worried after all. I knew you could do it all along anyway," Scorpius winked at her as she stepped away from him and they started walking out of the stadium.

"Of course you did. But anyway, thanks for, uh, putting up with me this morning, I was just nervous y'know?" Lily said with a look close to embarrassment on her face. She stood up on tiptoe to kiss him on the cheek, as a thanks. It happened almost exactly the same as it had the year before, lips almost brushing again, but not quite. The only difference was when Lily ran off to join her friends again, she grinned back at him, not blushing in the slightest.
