either Scorpius nor Lily had spoken about the kiss. Of course they had both thought about it. More often than not Scorpius was caught looking at the Griffindor table at meals. Today was the day of the Griffindor versus Slytherin quidditch match. Lily was sat with her brothers on the stand.

"Get 'em! Shoot! No the middle one you berk!"

James was especially enthusiastic today. Albus sat meekly waving a Griffindor flag while James jumped up and down. Lily stared longingly at the team. Her chances on the team any time in the foreseeable future were slim despite her ability to catch small objects at fifty feet.

*~*~*

Opposite the Griffindor stand Scorpius was cheering for his own team. Despite his obvious interest in the game he couldn't help but glance occasionally at the red-haired Griffindor.

*~*~*

"We won!! Woo!"

James was sharing out chocolate frogs and butterbeer in the common room. Griffindor had won by fifty points. Lily was listening intently to the Griffindor captain talking about try-outs after Christmas when she felt the sofa she was sat on slouch. Turning to see who had sat next to her she came face to face with the Griffindor seeker Steven Rower. He was tall, muscled and the love interest of many Griffindor girls.

"Hey Potter how's it going?"

She smiled at him.

"Good. Well done today."

They talked until the small hours of the morning when he got up.

"Hey Lily do you want to hang out sometime? Just you and me? Tomorrow maybe?"

She nodded with vigour. A date? With a third-year seeker? Result! He leaned down and kissed her gently. Her heart sped up but she couldn't help comparing it to the kiss she shared with Scorpius on the train. Why was that?

*~*~*

Scorpius saw them walking by the lake. Hand in hand were Steven Rower and Lily. They were talking and laughing. Suddenly he stopped and kissed her. Scorpius felt a pang in his chest.

She should be mine.

He started. Where had that come from? Lily was his best friend, he mustn't think like that. But he couldn't help it....images of him and Lily, walking hand in hand, kissing by the lake, ran through his head.

She should be mine.

*~*~*

Lily had been going out with Steven for three weeks now. She didn't mention it around Scorpius as when she did he became distant and unresponsive. This confused her but she brushed that aside. She had only mentioned it briefly in her letters home as Steven thought that going public would cause her unnecessary upset as it would alert the press. She accepted this and looked up to him all the more because of it. Until she found out that there was another reason for not going public. Her name was Brie Adams. Lily had found out when she arrived early to meet Steven and seen him talking to the tall blonde Griffindor. This hadn't bothered her much. He loved her right? Wrong. Moments later he was kissing her. He had never kissed Lily like that. She ran past them ignoring his shouts as she pushed past. She ran straight to someone who would understand. She ran straight to Scorpius.

*~*~*

He was confused when he saw Lily running towards him. Wasn't she meant to be out with Steven today? Then he saw she was crying and stood up. Lily never cried. She ran and hugged him. He hugged her back but was still concerned.

"Lily what's wrong?"

She sobbed into his chest.

"He kissed her Scorpius. He k...k...kissed her."

He pulled her back slightly.

"Wait who kissed who?"

She looked up at him.

"Steven kissed Brie Adams."

"WHAT?! THAT BLAST-ENDED-SCROTUM!"

She giggled slightly before her face fell again.

"What if I wasn't good enough? What if I was a crap kisser?"

Scorpius chuckled slightly.

"I can assure you you're not a crap kisser. You are the most amazing person on the planet and don't let some guy who looks like he has a broom stuck up his ass tell you otherwise!"

She laughed at the broom comment before lying down on the grass.

"He was going to take me to the winter ball. I guess I'll go alone now."

Scorpius lay next to her.

"You could go with me?"

She looked at him.

"Seriously? You'd want me to go with you?"
He nodded. She grinned.

"I'd love to! Oh dear we need to get costumes, it's fancy dress you know!"

She continued to chatter until they went in for dinner all thoughts of Rower forgotten...for now anyway.

Lily walked into the hall and sat next to her cousins Rose and Roxanne. Scorpius caught Albus and James on their way in.

"Hey guys."

"Malfoy. What do you want?"

"I want to know if you want to help meget back at the ass that cheated on your sister. Your uncle owns that joke shop right?"

They straightened up instantly.

"What sort of revenge did you have in mind?"

(A/N I could leave it on a cliff hanger here....but I'm too awsome!)

*~*~*

The next morning the plan was ready to go into action. Scorpius was at the Slytherin table, Lily (who was of course in on the plan) was stood by the Griffindor table and James and Albus were stood at either end of the hall. They all watched as Steven walked in and sat at the table. He grabbed a bowl of porridge and tucked in. Scorpius nodded to James who set off a decoy detonator at one end of the hall, this was closely followed by Albus setting his off at the other end. Not sure where to look, Steven stood up and, dumping his bag to mark his seat, walked towards the explosion. Scorpius too stood up. He threw a puking pastille and Lily who caught it despite its size and speed and dumped it in Steven's porridge before sitting at the far end of the table by her family. After McGonnagall had settled the crowds (and thrown a knowing look at the Potters) Steven sat back down. The affect was instantaneous. He put the porridge, and pastille, into his mouth and threw up over Brie Adams and most of his mates. She stormed off screaming and he ran for the hospital wing. They were still laughing when McGonnagall walked towards them.

"Lily Potter? A word?"

Lily gulped and followed McGonnagall to her office.

"Sit down."

She sat.

"Now I saw your little stunt in there."

Lily gulped.

"I'm sorry Professor."

McGonnagall looked at her.

"Oh it's perfectly all right. I called you in here to congratulate you."

Lily was confused to put it simply.

"You see Rower is resigning from the quidditch team due to exams and (she coughed) other troubles I have heard about. I would like to offer you the role of seeker. Your catching in there really was extraordinary. I haven't seen talent like that since your father was here."

She smiled as Lily began to grin.

"Would you like the position?"

Lily nodded.

"Well then I will organise a session with the captain after Christmas. Well done. Oh and Miss Potter?"
Lily looked up.

"I will pretend that your little stunt did not happen. Don't let it re-occur hmm?"

Lily nodded before running off to write to her parents.

It was later revealed that Brie Adams broke up with Steven Rower.

So now he has no girlfriend, no date for the ball and has been replaced on the team by the girl he cheated on.

Revenge had never tasted so sweet.
