Lily gripped her broomstick tightly in her hand. The wind whipped her hair wildly around her. Her back still hurt from the buldger yesterday.

"Okay!" Hart boomed to the Quidditch team. "Let's just do what we did yesterday, but without any injuries." He glanced warily at Daniels because he was the one who hit the buldger.

"Great pep talk," she muttered to Clara.

They all walked onto the field. Madam Hooch shouted, "Captains shake hands!"

James, the captain of the Gryffindor team, shook Hart's hand like he trying to break the bones.

"Mount your brooms!" she called again. They all pushed off into the sky. Lily stayed above everybody, circling the stadium.

Her cousin, Fred, was the commentor. "Gryffindor has the ball, ohh, Potter makes a goal. Ten to Gryffindor."

Lily tried to tune him out before he started complaing that the girls on the team wouldn't go out with him.

She only paid attention the score and who possessed the ball. So far Gryffindor 20, Slytherin 0.

The sky was gray outside. If the game didn't end soon there would be a storm.

Lily looked everywhere for the little Snitch but didn't see anything. She heard Fred commenting things and Professor McGonagall threatening him.

They were down by 50 now. She looked over at James who was circling the stadium as well. He looked up at her, smirking.

Lily glared and continued looking for the Snitch.

About a half an hour later, she caught the score. 160 to 20, Gryffindor. Now she was determined to find the Snitch before James.

She caught a glimpse of Hart's face. It only showed utter disappointment.

Lily ducked out of the way of a buldger.

Then she saw it.

The Snitch. It was a few feet below James, hovering in mid-air. Not wanting him to notice, she lazily flew over to him.

"Fun game isn't it?" she asked him casually, keeping an eye on the Snitch. She had to do this quick before the gold ball moved.

James laughed. "Oh, sister, it's cute how you think you're going to win."

"You've always had a big head, James." Then she got wide eyed, looking over his shoulder. Preparing to zoom past him, James was already turning around to see what she saw.

She took this as her chance, diving low to grab the Snitch. She reached out her hand to grab it, but James had already caught on to her little trick. He let his broom fall, so she was knocked out of the way.

The Snitch was gone.

Lily glared at her brother. That was her greateest chance to get it.

The game seemed to last forever, hours and days seemed to pass. Lily knew that wasn't true but it sure felt like it.

"Slytherin is in possesion of the ball!" Fred announced. "And Haley Clove makes it into the left hoop! Current score is 170 to 40."

Lily smiled to herself. She still had hope and she would hold on tight to that hope like it was the golden Snitch.

She flew a little lower to scan the field. A little shimmer caught her eye. She dove without thinking, her only priority to catch the Snitch.

"And my little cousin sees something!" Fred announced. She glared because he called her his 'little cousin' but kept after the Snitch.

James started diving for the Snitch as well. Lily was about to grab it when a buldger came straight at her, nailing her in the stomach.

"Oh, and she's off her broom. Tough luck, Lily," Fred commented.

Luckily, she wasn't far from the ground so she landed with a soft thud on the ground, clutching her stomach.

Lily's whole team landed swiftly around her. "We had no hope anyway," Clara said.

Lily sat up groggily. "What are you talking about? We won!"

Clara looked at her, concerned. "I think she hit her head," she said quietly to her team members. "Lily, a buldger hit you and you fell. You almost had the Snitch, you just barely missed," she said slowly to Lily.

Lily just started laughing but stopped quickly because it hurt her stomach. "No, we won!" she announced again. Lily let her hands drop from her stomach, and a Snitch started flying around again. Lily grabbed it before it could get far.

That's when her whole team started cheering. "She caught the Snitch!" Dare Hart screamed happily.

The Gryffindors landed next. "Well that's that, everybody! The Slytherin win, 220 to 170!" Fred told everybody.

Lily stood up, smiling. All of her team gave her pats and claps on the back but Malfoy.

Albus and James gave Lily a small smile.

"We won!" Clara said all the way to the common room, where all the Slytherins were celebrating.

"Yes, Clara, I know" was always Lily's response.

The common room was loud when they entered. She'd never seen the Slytherins so happy. Yeah, they had lost every game to Gryffindor every year she had been there but...

She smiled at the rest of Slytherin. It seemed that every person in Slytherin was in the common room except...

Lily scanned the crowd.

Scorpius.

If they won the Quidditch cup she couldn't imagine what the Slytherin would do. Probably stay up until the next morning.

After hours of everyone celebrating, Lily got annoyed. She slipped out of the common room and exited the dungeons.

The quiet outside of Slytherin was relaxing. She wasn't supposed to be out but the common room was too loud and the dormitories were too quiet.

At least out here she could hear Peeves the Poltergeist. She could also hear Filch yelling at Peeves to get out of the armor and singing rude songs.

Lily laughed, careful not to let Filch know where she was. She strolled the halls, pausing once in a while if she hears a teacher.

Eventually after endless strolling, she decided to back out to the Quidditch field like last night.

Once on the field, she realized she wasn't alone. Someone sat on the bottom step, with their head in their hands. Lily couldn't see who it was up close. She walked cautiously towards the figure.

"Scorpius?" she asked once she was a few feet away.

He looked up, startled. "Oh, Potter, it's you," he said rudely.

"Nice to see you too, Malfoy," she snapped. Almost against her will, she sat next to him. "Why aren't you celebrating with the other Slytherin?"

He looked at her half-amused, half-angry. "I could ask you the same thing." His blond hair was almost silver in the moonlight, Lily noticed.

"I asked you first," she said like a little kid.

Scorpius raised an eyebrow at her, this time all amused. "Fine, I wasn't in there because I knew that the whole common room would be full and loud."

Lily wasn't sure if he was lying or not.

"You know last time I was alone with you, you slapped me. You're not going to do that again, are you?" he asked with fake caution.

She rolled her eyes. "If you annoy me I will."

"Now why did you leave? You were the star of all that attention."

Lily was about to open her mouth and say it was too crowded and noisy but then closed her mouth, realizing that was a lie. "I don't know," she answered honestly. "There was something or maybe someone who was missing from the whole thing..."
