Avery half smiled at Alec's sort of fake looking smile, then when he asked her whether she liked Quidditch, she grinned and nodded franticly. "Of course I do! Who doesn't?"
Avery whipped her eyes dry. "Sorry Alec, I was just remembering when I was in hospital for four years." She looked down at her knees, "I hated it, all the pain."
Avery tried to smile, but inside she was kind of jealous, "Awh, that's sweet that you've known her that long, I really hope she gets better soon!" She said, meaning it. Avery wished she had a best friend, someone she'd grown up with. But all of her old friends had left round about in the first year she was in hospital, they never checked up on her, they probably didn't even care if she died. "Avery laughed lightly at Alec, you'd come and find me, huh? Thanks!" She said smiling, but inside she was crying. Alec's smile widened slightly as he looked at Avery. That has to be one of the wisest things anyone has said to him. Or... it was one of those things that truly sunk in. "Thanks, really," he said, "That's really smart of you, you know."
Alec let out a chuckle at the way Avery nodded at his question. Only someone who was excited about Quidditch could nod like that. Really. But this made him feel slightly happier. He now had something else he could talk to Avery about. "You're right," he said, "So if you could play any position, which one would it be? And why?"
... WHAT?! Avery was in hospital for four years? FOUR YEARS?! "Why were you in hospital?" he whispered, tightening his hold around the girl on his lap. He hoped she wouldn't mind him asking something like that.
Alec smiled. This is why he liked the house he was in. Everyone seemed to be really really nice here and that's all he could have asked for in his first year at Hogwarts. "Thanks!" he said, "The Healer's meant to be really good." That last bit was just added randomly. "Yeah, I'd come to you and tell you to stop studying so hard," he said, "And you'd have to eat everything at the picnic to make up for all that studying." That was his big plan.
