Title: In Good Hands
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Neville Longbottom/Lily Luna Potter
Rating: Teen
Summary: Lily announces her holiday plans.



It was so unfair. There had only been one Yule Ball during Lily's seven years at Hogwarts, and she had just missed it. Al had been a fourth year and Jamie a sixth year. Lily was sure at least one of them were the reason the festivity had been discontinued.

Her brothers got everything. And ruined everything.

But not this. She would never get a chance to see Professor Neville Longbottom sweeping around the Great Hall in elegant dress robes, it was true. But if she had her way, the two of them were going to do a most private and provocative dance this holiday.

Neville was making his way up the long Gryffindor table this morning with a clipboard, marking down the names of students who would be staying at Hogwarts over the break. Lily's knees bounced under the table, her breakfast untouched as she pretended to read from her Transfiguration text.

"Lily?" he asked, barely looking up from his clipboard. "Staying or going?"

"I'm staying, Professor."

That got his attention. Neville visibly swallowed, his quill pausing mid-scribble. "That's a first. You have your parents' permission?"

"Yes, sir. Everyone's working." She gave him a coy smile. "And they know I'm in good hands here."

Neville narrowed his eyes at her.

"I got to thinking about what you said," Lily continued recklessly. "About taking more time with things. And I decided to start a rather complex potion. With Professor Clearwater's approval, of course."

Neville cocked his head as though he was going to say something, but no words left his parted lips.

"It's a tricky one. Slow to brew and very dangerous if handled... indelicately."

Neville drew in a deep breath and let it out through his nose, his lips a thin line. He almost looked like he wanted to spank her.

"I'm hoping I can get it just right."

Love this banter and both knowing what is going on.
Clever of you.

She is probably right about it being her brothers' fault no Yule Ball.
O well, she can make him dress up for the wedding.
