That and the fact that Quidditch is a sport! As for Avery's next question... "Erm, it can be," He wasn't exactly going to lie to her. "But you have lots of fun with it." And they shared a lot of jokes with everyone! Happy times!
So Avery did have her very own Quidditch pitch! Alec gulped slightly at the 'cancer' talk but decided not to concentrate on that. "Wow!" he said, "You know, you can play Quidditch anytime." She probably already knew that. And by magic!
Alec smiled slightly as Avery stroked his hair. It felt nice whenever people touched his hair. But they weren't talking about his hair. Nope! "Oh," he whispered, looking down at his hands and then back up at Avery, "Is there any way to make it go away forever?" He wasn't going to lose Avery. No. It wasn't happening.
"Yeah, of course!" he said, grinning as she fluffed up his hair, "We could have a nice picnic out in the grounds." They could have a lot of food out there! And it can be sunny! "You're not heavy!" She was pretty light for someone who was three years older than him.
Did Alec really mean that? She couldn't really tell.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." She admitted, it couldn't hurt to try out could it? She wasn't half bad, so she probably had a chance! Then Alec said it was kind of hard, Avery couldn't really deal with the work.
"Yeah, it's really great! Maybe you could come over in the holidays some time and we could have a mini game between us" She said, getting excited. It had been a while since she actually had a good friend. Actually Alec was her best friend at the moment, she thought smiling down at the boy.
Avery sighed and looked helplessly down at Alec.
"I wish there was, but unfortunately there isn't, nobody wizard or muggle has worked out a total cure." She reached and grabbed onto Alec's hand and squeezed it gently,
"Don't worry Alec, I'm not going to get ill again, I hope." The doctors had told her it was quite a low chance that she would get the cancer again, but still the possibility was there.
"Thanks Alec!" She said, grinning at him,
"that would be great!" She was genuinely happy about this and wondered if and when it would happen.
"Suuure I'm not." She chuckled hugging her knees up to her chest, while she sat on Alec's lap.
