“Scor, do you remember this?”
Lily pulled her head out of the cupboard, triumphantly producing a gaudy tiara that had once belonged to a party costume.
Scorpius looked up from where he was lounging on the bed and smiled. “You were such a princess!”
“A queen, Scorpius, I was a queen.” Lily moved over to him and sat down as she twined her fingers around the fake metal water-lilies. “I’m really going to miss this.”
“The tiara?”
“No. This house. Our childhood. Getting to hang out with you all the time.”
Scorpius sat up and pulled Lily into his arms, gently pressing a kiss to the top of her head. “Me too. Why do we have to grow up?”
“Maybe we don’t. Maybe we should run away together, start our own kingdom. You’ll be the king and I’ll be the queen.”
Scorpius gently pulled the tiara loose from Lily’s fingers. “Nope. You’ll be the princess, and I’ll be the queen.”
Lily snorted and turned to her best friend as he set the tiara in his silky blond hair.
“How do I look?”
“Like the queen you are, Scor. Like the queen you are.” Lily leant back against Scorpius’ warm chest, smiling as his arms wrapped around her again. “I love you, you know.”
“Love you too, Lil.”
Lily relaxed, suddenly sure that as long as her queen was happy, all would be right with the world.

Notes
The tiara caught and refracted the afternoon light, spreading rainbows through her bedroom. Lily grinned and turned it in her hands, watching the colours move across the walls. They shifted over Scorpius's pale, bare skin, dancing over his cheeks and hair. Lily shifted, straddling him.
"Does your mother know you're borrowing it?"
He shook his head, eyes wide, and then licked his lips. "She'd murder me. It's been in her family forever."
Scorpius protested as she moved the tiara towards him, but when her nipple brushed his outstretched arm, he went still and let her place it on his head.
"You look so pretty," she breathed. Scorpius's nose wrinkled at that. Lily leaned in and kissed the scowl off his face. "What does it do?" Lily ran her fingertips down his cheek and suddenly damp throat. Scorpius's eyes went foggy, his lips parted.
"It… Ahh…"
Lily rocked forwards, pressing herself against his hard cock, slick and aroused.
"It makes… everything… feel…" Scorpius arched his back, closing his eyes, fingers digging into her hips. "Oh Lily."
He moaned and twisted beneath her; Lily shivered with pleasure. "Look at you."
"It feels so good," said Scorpius, writhing. "I want… I want you to wear it. I want to see what it makes you do."
"You first." She lifted her hips and braced herself on one of his shoulders.
"Oh god!" he cried as she engulfed him.
"Scorpius," was all she could whisper, his expression of ecstasy bringing her to the edge.

Wand held high, Lily whirled around the room. Her eyes were bright with fury and pain.
Lily burst into the flat, thrilled to be home a day early. "Scorpius?"
Drawers flew open with a bang. Jumpers, trousers and knickers filled the air. With a sharp flick, she directed them to the open trunk.
The flat was dark and silent but for a slit of light that filtered into hallway from beneath their bedroom door.
Her wedding picture smashed against the far wall. Glass scattered throughout the room; a stray shard sliced her cheek.
The soft sounds from behind the door set her hands trembling as she turned the handle.
The delicate negligee he'd given her for their first anniversary caught on a protruding nail. It ripped in half.
They lay on the bed a tangle of naked limbs and sweat, thrusting against each other with well practiced ease.
The lily tiara her mother had strong-armed her into wearing down the aisle rose from the closet in a cloud of dust; it settled atop the haphazard pile. One lily snapped off its stem as the trunk slammed shut; it shattered on the wooden floorboards.
Her heel crushed the remains into powder.
Above the soft slap of flesh and mattress squeaks, she heard her husband's voice. "Only you, Rose. It's only ever been you."
Her hand on the doorknob, she turned. Her wand pointed at the desecrated marital bed-"Incendio."

Title Father's gift

Notes Thanks to my beta!
Lily untied the purple ribbon and lifted the lid of the small box. Nestled inside on a bed of velvet was a tiara with large glittering jewels.
"It reminded me of the play crown you used to have when you were little," her dad said, blushing. "It's a water lily."
Lily lifted the gift and turned it over in her hands. She could see the flower now. It was so beautiful and just perfect.
"Thank you, Dad. I love it," Lily said, trying to keep the tears welling in her eyes from falling.
"Try it on."
Lily felt a little silly putting on such a beautiful crown while wearing jeans and a t-shirt; but seeing her father's proud smile, she couldn't refuse the request.
"You look so beautiful. I can't believe my little girl is getting married." Harry sighed and hugged Lily to him.
"Oh, Dad," Lily said, embarrassed by the attention.
"I'm so proud of you, you know. Not just because of the wedding, of course. Or even seeing you finish healer training top of your class." She could see the sincerity in his bright green eyes. "Most of all, I'm proud of what a wonderful person you turned out to be."
Lily rested her head on her father's chest, enjoying the feel of his strong arms around her. Her heart swelled with her father's praise and kind words. It didn't matter how old she was or what she accomplished, she'd always be her father's little girl.

Title Her Day

Pairings/Warnings Gen, None
Notes None
I watch them often, my cousins. They're obsessed with the male gender, always talking about boyfriends and marriage and babies, in no particular order. I wish I could have stayed away today, but Mum threatened certain death if I didn't show up and behave myself. She meant it too. Mum's not one to make idle threats.
"Lily Luna Potter," she said-that was my first clue that arguing was pointless. All three names come out, it's time to just hold up the white flag of surrender and count your losses. So, I did.
I put on my best dress, and pasted on a fake smile that spread from cheek to cheek. I even pretended to enjoy all the girly banter that was going on in Uncle Ron's old bedroom where Victoire was getting ready for her big, faerie-tale princess day.
"So Cousin," I asked. "What does it feel like to be getting married today? You know, losing your freedom, chaining yourself to someone so he can force you to become a baby-making machine."
"Well, aren't you a fucking ray of sunshine?" asked Charlie from the doorway. He was holding THE box.
"Is that what I think it is?" Victoire asked
"Of course it is," Charlie replied.
We'd all admired the Weasley tiara since we were small children; each of us imagining the day in which we'd have our chance to wear it. Even I had to confess some small amount of envy watching Uncle Charlie place it atop Victoire's head.

Pairings/Warnings Lily Luna/Scorpius
Notes Okay I’ll admit it, I listened to Closer by Nine Inch Nails while writing this ;).
With sensuous fingers, Scorpius lifted the diamond tiara from his bride’s red hair. His fingers were cool, leaving goosebumps in their wake as he slid them down her neck and passed her arms. Lily shivered and mewled as Scorpius teased her nipples through her fancy robes, running his fingers around the hard tips before palming her breasts.
Lily ground her arse against Scorpius’ hardness as his fingers parted her robes. The heavy fabric fell to the floor with a soft thump and his hands ran down her body until he reached her legs. She felt him smile against her neck when he felt her bare skin.
“You naughty minx, you went without knickers on your wedding day; were you waiting for me to lift your skirts and fuck you right after ‘I do?’”
Lily nodded and spread her legs, giving Scorpius access. He spread her inner lips and found her clit, giving it several long rubs before moving down to her entrance.
“Christ, you’re soaked,” Scorpius muttered before sliding two fingers inside.
Beginning to fuck her with his index and middle fingers, his thumb went to her clit again and he began to rub in time with his strokes. He gave her neck a sweet kiss before speaking. “First, we’re going to go at it like animals and then, afterwards, it’s going to be nice and slow… for hours.”
With a cry, Lily came at the sound of Scorpius’ rough voice, clenching around her husband’s fingers as he groaned.

Notes
Why did it have to be snakes?
Lily gritted her teeth and gingerly stepped around the wriggling mass on the floor. She held her wand aloft to illuminate the dark crypt.
Two stone sarcophagi took up most of the vast chamber that had been dug deep into the Brazilian ground. It was cold down here, and though the air was stale, it was saturated by the humidity of the rainforest above. The preservation spells had all but faded over time, and Lily could see roots dangling from the ceiling which had wormed their way through cracks in the stone.
She had dreamed about becoming a curse-breaker ever since she’d been little and hanging on to her uncle Bill’s every word about the adventures he’d had while working for Gringotts. Unlike Bill however, Lily had never had any desire to work for the Goblins, as it was her opinion that treasures, such as the tiara, were better kept in museums rather than vaults.
The breaking of half a dozen curses had left it’s mark on her. Her hair was singed, and her left arm had been tightly wrapped with a torn strip from her robes-a levitating sword had escaped her attention, and she had only just managed to avoid decapitation.
However, all of these trials had been worth the effort. She had reached the crypt, and her prize, the lost water-lily tiara of the Acre sorceress, was within reach.
She just had to get past the bloody snakes first.

Pairings/Warnings: Lily/Rose, Lily/Rose/Hugo, Lily/Draco; dark intentions, incest, violence, teacher/student
Notes: The best beta in the world helped me perfect this. All remaining mistakes are mine.
Lily is not made of crystal, no fragile glass flower to be handled with care. Incapable of such delicacy, Lily hates all things made to break.
Others do not understand this about her. So she shows them.
~*~
Lily first discovers magic at eight. The first time it courses through her blood, she goes mad with its electrifying current. Let loose in her rage, she curses James' eyes sewn shut.
At St. Mungo's, Harry explains the accident to the attendants.
Lily knows it was no accident.
~*~
The second time is no less violent. Lily hexes Rose's mouth shut, sewing her lips together. She realizes Rose enjoys it when Rose throws her hands up to grip the headboard. Lily pins her there, takes her time.
When Hugo walks in on them, Lily smiles and asks, "Do you want a turn?"
~*~
At Hogwarts, there is magic everywhere, hormones sizzling in the hallways. Lily uses her classmates’ perversions against them.
She Obliviates each one afterwards, washing her hands of their filth and memories.
~*~
When Lily is caught by Professor Malfoy, she expects punishment. She never imagines she will like it. Startled by the intense desire to be dominated, she returns to him.
His pale grin is like fire in her blood. He tames her with ropes and gags, breaks her with malicious precision. When his cock pierces her body, the fragile shell of glass that separates her from everyone else splinters.
In these moments, she was made to be shattered.

Notes: Thanks for those who have been voting for me!
Lily stood in stone balcony, watching as the orange sun sank into the cerulean blue water. Below, the waves hit rhythmically against the cliffs while the wind fluttered the white sundress around her knees. It was almost perfect.
A pair of arms slid around her waist, and she felt a strong male body against her back. Now it was perfect.
“A knut for your thoughts?” he whispered, and his breath tickled her ear.
She shrugged.
“Do you want to know what I’m thinking?”
She smiled. “Yes.”
“I’m thinking”-Lily tilted her head as he nipped gently at her neck-“you deserve a present.”
And she felt something light placed on top of her head. “It’s the lily tiara I saw at the jewelry window, isn’t it?” she guessed without looking.
“Right as always, love,” he laughed. “A crown for a princess. My princess.”
She shut her eyes tight. “Say it again.”
“My princess.”
Lily’s eyes opened, and she was staring at the scarlet canopy of her bed. The Patented Daydream Charm box she had received for her seventeenth birthday was still clutched in her hand.
Now she understood why Hugo had called the unofficial coming-of-age tradition “an experience that makes you want to grin and cry at the same time.”
That’s why it’s a daydream, she told herself sadly. It’s not real.
She knew she was a fool to even think Scorpius Malfoy would one day be hers-but experiencing what it could be like made the knowledge even worse.
