Lily grinned as she flattened herself up against the corridor wall so that her brothers wouldn't see her. Scorpius winked at her and opened the door to her brothers' compartment, leaving it open so that she could hear what was going on.
"Oh, hey, Scorp'," came Albus's voice from within.
"Yeah, hey Scorpius," James said.
"Hey guys, whatcha' up to?" Scorpius said to them, leaning against the door frame.
"Nothin' much. James put the tripping charm on Lily a bit back there. It'll be hilarious when she comes around here," Albus said laughing.
Scorpius chuckled and Lily shot him a deadly look.
"Well, anyway I was just looking for…Rose. She owled me a book this summer and I thought that I'd give it back," Scorpius lied.
"Oh, well, I haven't seen her," James said. And Albus agreed that he too hadn't seen her.
"Well, I guess that I'll see you all later," Scorpius said walking backwards out of the compartment.
James and Albus went back to their conversation, turned away from Scorpius. He shot a glance at Lily and winked. Lily nodded and slinked closer. She just had to see this.
Wand at his side, Scorpius whispered the jinx and then rushed to stand beside Lily. Gasps and cries came from within the compartment.
"Oh, come on. I have to see this!" Lily whispered to Scorpius as she walked up to the doorway in the compartment. Scorpius rolled his eyes, but followed the young first year.
Lily looked at her two brothers, each of they yelling at the bat-bogey hex Scorpius set upon them. At this point Lily couldn't hold it in any longer. Her face cracked as she started laughing. Even Scorpius had to laugh at the sight.
It was quite a funny sight, the 'bogeys' from the two's noses flew out and had become bats, gross slimy bats, and though Scorpius wasn't skilled enough to make them attack the two they were doing a good enough job of grossing them out, tongues licking their faces. It had worked out perfectly, grossness and all.
'And I planed all this! It is perfect, even Scor is laughing. He is quite cute when he laughs like that. And I was the one with the plan that made him laugh!' Lily though excitedly to herself grinning.
Suddenly, James and Albus turned(while still fighting off their bogey bats) and saw the two standing there laughing. Finally the last of the bats were gone as the two boys that had previously been fighting them off put two and two together and yelled, "LILY!"
The smiles on Lily's and Scorpius's faces left in a flash as they turned to each other, dropped Lily's trunk in the compartment, and ran out, still laughing.

Lily and Scorpius slid down into the empty seats of an abandoned compartment far away from Lily's brothers.
"Do you think we lost them?" she asked. Scorpius nodded, sighing.
"Gods, is it going to be like this al year long if I hang out with you?" Scorpius asked her, half-joking half-serious.
"Probably worse, but yes," Lily said simply. There was no denying it, Lily was going to get anyone who hung out with her in trouble, at least this year.
"Well, I guess that I'm in for one heck of a year then," Scorpius said lightly as he playfully nudged her.
"Oh, you plan on staying in on all the wonderful tricks and pranks that I have in store for my first year at Hogwarts?" Lily said nudging him back.
"Call me crazy, but if they are all as fun as this one…then I'm definitely in on them. Plus, you would be nothing without my brilliant wand work," Scorpius playfully.
"Good, though, I might not your wand working once I learn to use mine, though, I'm sure that I could find some use for you," Lily said grinning. 'Oh yes, I could find some things for you to do. Help plan, Go out with me, Do some of the magic, Go out with me.'
"Uh, Lily? Lily…Earth to Lily," Scorpius said waving his hand in front of her face in an attempt to get her attention. Lily blinked her eyes a few times and turned quickly towards Scorpius.
"What? D-did you say something?" she questioned, obviously only just coming out of her thought and daydreams.
"You spaced out there for a minute," Scorpius said looking at her curiously.
"Oh, uh…Sorry about that," Lily said blushing a pale pink hue. Scorpius smiled.
"So, what were you thinking about?" he asked her.
"Oh, nothing really," she lied, still blushing, "Just thinking that this is going to be quite the year at Hogwarts."
