Lily Luna Potter was a Slytherin through and through. No one doubted that she belonged in the house of the cunning and ambitious. Because that was what she was. She wasnāt afraid to use her charm to get something done, and she wasnāt afraid to trick people into helping her when she needed them.
But she wasnāt evil. She was deceptive at times, sure, and the best darn liar in the whole Potter/Weasley family, but she wasnāt evil.Ā
She wasnāt mean either. She might have done just about anything to get what she wanted, but she wasnāt mean about it. In fact, if she wasnāt such a Slytherin she could have been in Hufflepuff.Ā
She was kind, hard working, polite, extremely loyal, had intelligence that rivaled that of her namesake, and she valued her friends and family over anything.Ā
But the main reason she was in Slytherin was because she wanted to be different. She wanted the world to see her as her own person.Ā
Scorpius Malfoy was a Gryffindor. He was brave, loyal, a trifle reckless, and he was a gentleman. Oh how the ladies, and some lads, swooned when he walked past. He treated everyone like they were important, no matter how annoying the rest of the world thought they were.Ā
He was also a prankster. Him, Albus, Louis and Rose made a pranking team that would have given the Marauders a run for their money. No matter where you went, you would find some trace that the four had been there.Ā
They pranked everyone. From Louisā sister Victoire all the way to little Collin Creevey II, who was a first year the year the graduated, everyone got pranked.Ā
Lily could spot a prank coming from a mile away, something she learned from her many years at her favorite Uncleās shop, and no matter how hard the four tried they couldnāt get her.Ā
They tried and tried, but nothing worked. Nothing caught the calm, collected redhead off guard.
Nothing until seventh year at least.Ā
It was at a Quidditch game, Slytherin against Gryffindor. Lily and Scorpius were both captains of their respective teams, and as they were shaking hands Lily swore she heard Scorpius muttering something in her ear, but she couldnāt quite tell what. She didnāt get a chance to ask though, because the next moments the balls were released and they were off.Ā
Lily, a Seeker like her father, flew as far up as she could, pausing in her normal spot to search.Ā
Scorpius, a beater, hit a ball her way and then flew over to stop it from hitting her. When he did, he leaned in and this time Lily was sure she heard something and it unnerved her.Ā
So there she sat, slightly confused, still looking for the Snitch, when she saw it. Grinning triumphantly, she dived down, but her path was cut off by none other than said Malfoy, who smirked at her anger face.Ā
āMad Potter?ā He asked in a joking tone, earning nothing more put a low growl from the girl. But before she flew away, he caught her robe, pulled her back and whispered ever so softly.Ā
āMarry me, Lily Potter?ā Now it was no secret that the two of them had been dating off and on, and anyone could see that they loved each other, except for Lily. She never believed in true love, even though her parents were happy. More specifically, she never believed she find have true love. For years, she watched her friends get their hearts crushed, their lives destroyed, all because they loved a man a little too much. She never wanted that.Ā
So she never committed to anything. At all. Often she would say the only thing she truly loved was her phoenix because Sol would never run away.Ā
Hearing Scorpius Malfoy ask her to marry him, it made her freeze sheāll admit. Not because she didnāt want to, she really did love Scorpius, but because she was afraid to get her heart broken. Ā So she sat, frozen on her broom, in total shock.Ā
The win was an accident. The snitch practically flew up her sleeve and Slytherin won. The cheers of her teammates brought her back to life, and without a moments hesitation she flew to Scorpius as fast as she could.Ā
He was hovering in the air, smirking at her, his beautiful blonde hair blowing in the wind.Ā
He didnāt bat an eye when she jumped from her broom to his and whispered into his ear. āYes.ā Ā
He just smirked and flew down towards his friends. No one knew it, but he was more proud of how much he shocked Lily than of her saying yes.Ā
He knew one day they would be together, they would always be together.Ā
He never thought he would shock her.Ā
