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.
"You really think so?" She asked, no one ever really called her smart..then again no one had really had the chance to do so. "Thanks!" she grinned at Alec, her chest filled with a strange filling.

"Ooh, now that's a tough question!" She said, her eyes sparkling as she looked up towards the younger boy she was sat on. "Uhm, I'd probably be a chaser! I love watching them literally fly around the field!" She sighed and smiled while thinking, then she added, "I'd probably be a keeper if I wasn't a chaser, but whenever I've played as keeper at home I'm really good at it!"

It was strange him asking that, normally people would delicately skip over the topic and then leave her, like some people did just before she had returned to Hogwarts, she didn't at all mind him asking actually. "I..umm, had some sort of cancer, one that you can recover from. But the doctors say it can come back and if it does, it could..." she trailed off, she was going to say that it could kill her, but she didn't want to scare Alec, who was now squeezing her tight.

"That's good then!" She said. Avery hoped Alec's friend would recover quickly, she didn't like seeing Alec upset, it made her upset.

"Haha, what if I was in the girls dormitory? You're not telling me you go and get me from there, are you?" She said, teasing the younger boy..maybe this is what it felt like to have a little brother, though in a way, she felt much younger than she was and he seemed older, they seemed like twins. Maybe she would mention it, if he wasn't already thinking the same thing.

Then Avery realised she was still sat on Alec's knee. "You comfortable there?" She said lightly, "I can get up if I'm annoying you or making your legs no numb?" She smiled at him and started to get up.
