Hello my friends. Here is the prologue of a new, multi-chap, full length fic from the people that brought you Red, Nirvana (both published by me), Addiction (published by Couture Girl), Forever His, and Conflicted (published by Yellowtail555). We are Violet Scarlet Lily, Couture Girl, and Yellowtail555. We are here with a collaborative long story, about Teddy and Lily Luna! Because it is my OTP, Couture Girl's second favorite, and Yellowtail555's third favorite. Anyways, here is the prologue. The format is a bit different - we're switching off with chapters. The lovely Yellow is responsible for this excellent prologue. Enjoy!

Lily just rolls her eyes and swings upside down on a thick tree branch. She waves her hands around, flailing to get her ginger hair out of her eyes. Teddy laughs at her and straddles a branch below hers. He's nine years older than her but the two have always been close because James and Albus never included Lily and she would go crying to Ted when she was younger. Now the duo are sitting in a tree in Lil's backyard, laughing and playing.

"We're dead if we get caught." Lily giggles and reaches up to grip the branch in her hands to stop herself from falling.

"Awww... don't worry. I won't tell," Teddy promises his 12 year old god-sister, smirking at her. She just straightens up and pokes him in the stomach. He squeaks, looks sheepish and adds, "Lils! Don't do that. I'm 21 and I need to learn to act like an adult. Hanging out with you won't help."

She grins at him, lopsided and dares him,"I'll give you a galleon to eat that."

He wrinkles up his nose at the slug she pointed out and picked it up. "I'll kiss it but it's worth way more than a galleon to eat it."

She just laughs. "Perhaps so. Let's see if your snogging skills are up to par. Or should I just ask Victoire?"

He rolls his eyes. "Your hilarious, you know that? So... amusing."

She fakes anger, trying to keep a stern expression but hiding her laughter behind her hands. "Is that sarcasm I hear? You'd better be kidding me!"

He pushes at her, lazily, laughing but he didn't know that she wasn't holding on anymore and so she falls from the tree and onto the grass below. He scrambles down within seconds, pleading for her forgiveness and sinks to his knees, his hands intertwined with her beautiful red hair. But she just grimaces at him and sticks out her tongue.

Because she won't admit it. That she longs to hear him call her "Lils" again like he use to when they were younger, that she loves the feeling of his touch on her hand, and that she savors their afternoons together climbing trees when they're not aloud to like they use to when they were younger. And her leg doesn't hurt because being with Teddy always dulls the pain. And you couldn't pay her to admit that the real reason she asked about his kissing ability is because she wants to feel his lips on hers and maybe it's wrong but she, Lily Luna Potter, is completely and totally in love with her god-brother and he's almost has unobtainable as her brothers.

After all, he's dating her cousin and he's her god-brother for crying out loud. But that doesn't matter to her heart because even when she's trying to listen to common sense, she can't. She was only 12, about to start her 2nd year at Hogwarts and yet she was already deep in love with a man twice her age.

Teddy pulled her head into his lap and started checking for broken bones. If Victoire happened to glance out the window now she would think he was just being a supportive older god-brother but really he just loved the feeling of her hair on his legs and her soft skin in his hands. And maybe that made him disgusting but he couldn't help that he loves his much younger god-sister. Can he?

She just lays out in front of him; beautiful green eyes gazing up at him, red hair fanned out, and a small smile on her face. Why she'd be happy is beyond him but he's thrilled that she doesn't seem to be in pain. He always loved her laugh, as loud as her personality and even as she lies before him she asks.

"Teddy? Do you believe in life after death?"

And now it's his turn to grin and hold back laughter as he replies, "Lils, you're not gonna die."

Lils, his pet name for her when she was younger. It triggers a flutter in his heart and maybe it's wrong and weird for some but he loves her. The way she finds the best of every situation, her silent sense of pride at being a Gryffindor (and the only time she'll ever do anything quietly), and the way that she can attract friends with her outgoing personalities. She always does everything with a bang, leaving him standing in the smoke and waiting for her to return and sweep him up with her. They've grown apart over the years and it hurt but he knew not to get too clingy because she'll grow up and find other guys to date.

But he leans over her and it's almost that he can't help himself as he lets her giggle rise to his ears and he just thinks, Sorry Lily, but I can't stop my feelings. And he takes her first kiss as his own, like Victoire stole his all those years ago when she was five and he was six and Lily wasn't part of the equation, just two little kids that thought they knew what love was. And Vicki still things they've got something but they don't . And when he pulls away, he expects her to slap him or scream. But she doesn't, on the contrary she has a very contented smile on her face. Until she sees him looking at her and then she wipes it away. But he still saw it and so he hopes...

So what did you think? Please review - we'd like feedback before we continue. :D Yellow, CG, and I are waiting with baited breath. *takes big breath and starts holding it* Next chapter will be by either CG or me! We're also creating a community for our collaborative fics - called "Lily, CG, and Yellow's collab fics". Check it out!

Love always,

Lily, CG, and Yellow

PS. This is published on my profile because we tossed dice and I won. XD Just wanted you all to know that I'm not like, the best one. They are much cooler than I am.

Love always,

Lily
