Chapter 1
The Golden Snitch

One year later

"Lily? Lily sweetie, you need to get up. Come on Lily, it's nearly 10:30. Breakfast is ready downstairs."

Lily opened her eyes and looked into the face of her mother. She groaned

and turned over on her other side and resumed sleeping.

"Honestly Lily, get up, even if it is your birthday we are not going to waste the whole bloody day just for you to get your lazy self out of bed. Now come on, your father and brothers are waiting."

Lily just groaned again and tried to swat her mother away.

"Lily if you don't get up now we might not be able to make it all the way to the cape today."

That got her up. Lily jumped out of bead, threw on her robe and slammed her feet into her slippers and followed her mother down the stairs of their house in Godric's Hollow. They family have been going to Cape George, which rested on the Atlantic coast, since Lily was 5. It was her most favorite place in the world. The small wizarding town that inhabited it recognized the Potters and welcomed them back their every summer. They stayed at the same rented out beach house every year. The days were filled with building sand castles, boogie boarding in the waves and having jumping contests off the dock a little ways off from the house. The nights were filled with fireworks, ice cream and carnivals on the boardwalk. To Lily, the place was truly perfect.

Lily raced down the stairs to the kitchen. When she rounded the corner she saw her dad and her brothers sitting at the kitchen table eating pancakes and bacon. Lily sat down in her spot and started eating her own mint pancakes (her favorite).

"Slow down Lily, they aren't going anywhere," Ginny said taking her seat at the table.

"Here Lily, open mine first," James said as he tossed a blue and green wrapped present to Lily. Lily caught it and tore of the wrappings. She took out a bright red shirt and held it up. It was a Holyhead Harpies t-shirt.

"Oh wow! Thanks James," Lily said to her brother as she folded the shirt and put it back in the box.

"Hey no fair! You saw my present!" Al exclaimed glaring at his brother.

"Maybe you should try and keep your stuff more hidden," James replied with a smirk.

"Come now then Al, let me see yours," Lily called out to her other brother. He tossed her a small red package, which she caught and started to rip open. "Oh thanks Al! These are great!" she said as she held up a pair of Holyhead Harpies quidditch socks.

"Mines better," James gloated. Al hit him.

"They're both great," Lily said smiling at her stupid brothers. She continued to open presents from all of her aunts and uncles. Aunt Fleur and Uncle Bill got her a brand new Sneakoscope, Aunt Audrey and Uncle Percy got her a book entitled Quidditch Through Out the Ages, Uncle Charlie got her a stuffed animal dragon and a card that said: This is your Dad's favorite type of dragon. Hope you like it! Love, Uncle Charlie. Lily held up the dragon, "Hey Al what type of dragon is this?" she asked

Al took the dragon and looked at it, "Oh it's an Hungarian Horntail," he replied.

Harry stiffened and glared at the stuffed dragon as Ginny burst into laughter. "What's so funny mom?" Lily asked

"That is the kind of dragon your dad had to fight during the Triwizard Tournament," Ginny said between laughs.

Lily, James, and Al laughed along with Ginny while Harry just sat there frowning at the stuffed toy. Lily continued with her presents. She got some Peruvian instant darkness powder from Uncle George and Aunt Angelina. Grandma and Grandpa Weasley gave her a blue knit sweater with a gold L on it. Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione got her a t-shirt that said Number One Quidditch Player on it.

"I'll be taken that," James said reaching for the shirt but Lily just swatted his hand away.

"In your dreams," she said back. "Ok Mom and Dad, It's time for yours,"

Ginny got up and went to the broom closet under the stairs and brought out a long box wrapped in bright silver and gold wrapping paper. Lily tore off the paper and opened the box to reveal a brand new Firebolt III broomstick. "Merlin's Beard!" Lily squealed as she lifted the new broom out of the box. "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" she said as she jumped up and down and gave both of her parents big hugs.

All of a sudden the doorbell rang. "I got it," Al said jumping off his stole and walking over toward the door. The door opened and Scorpius Malfoy walked in. "Hey Scor! Come in," Al said to his friend holding the door open for Scorpius to walk in.

"Thanks Al. Hi Mr. and Mrs. Potter. Hope your well," Scorpius said flashing his bright white smile.

"Yes we're fine thank you Scorpius. I have to admit though we weren't expecting you this early. We haven't even started packing for the cape yet. We were just finishing giving Lily her birthday presents," Ginny said as she started to clear the dishes.

"Happy Birthday Lily, 14 now right?"

Lily just nodded for she was unable to really say anything at the moment. "I actually have something for you," Scorpius said as he pulled a small black box out of his pocket. "Happy Birthday," he said as he held out the box.

Lily stood her broomstick up against the wall and walked over to Scorpius, taking the box out of his hand. She untied the bow and lifted the lid of the box. "Oh wow!" she said in awe. Inside the box was a necklace with a small golden snitch on it. "Its beautiful," Lily said turning to Scorpius, "thank you."

"Here let me help," he said taking the necklace out of the box. Lily turned around and moved her long strawberry blonde hair out of the way so that Scorpius could fasten the necklace around her neck. She turned back around and held up the charm so she could look at it better.

"I love it," she said. Without thinking about she wrapped her arms around Scorpius and gave him a hug. He wrapped his arms around her as well. Feeling his arms holding her made her stomach flip with happiness. The two of them stood like that until the sound of Harry clearing his throat made them jump apart.

"Um why don't you come upstairs with me Scor, I need to pack anyways." Al said, grabbing his friend's arm and pulling him up the stairs. James and Ginny left to go pack as well. Lily was about to follow them when her dad called out to her. She turned around and her dad gestured for her to sit back down at the table.

"I just want to make something clear to you. Scorpius Malfoy is not a good person for you. I don't even really like Al and Scorpius being friends but he help Al when he was sorted into Slytherin so I tolerate their friendship. But I will not tolerate him braking your heart so I suggest you look for someone else."

"Dad really, you don't need to worry about anything. I don't have any feelings for Scorpius," Lily replied looking down at the table.

She looked up and saw her father's bright green eyes fixed on her, "Good, keep it that way," he said. Harry got up and went upstairs to pack for the cape leaving Lily alone in the kitchen.

She sighed. She had been keeping her crush on Scorpius a secret for over a year now. How was she supposed to spend a whole week with him and the cape and not feel something for him? Her dad had made it clear. Her being with Scorpius would not be allowed. It would be best if she just forget about him.

Lily got up and headed back up to her room to pack for the cape.
