Addictive Attraction 3 ~ J.S.P

5"

"Hey Frank" James nudged Frank getting his attention "is that Ayla talking to Lils in the stands?" He said looking over in the two girls direction

"I think so" Frank confirmed "I didn't know they were friends" he shrugged

"Me neither" James replied "do you think she's here to watch me?"

"No" Frank replied bluntly

"Merlin, alright mate" James rolled his eyes getting on his broom

"Where are you going?" Frank asked

"To go speak to her" James replied as if it was obvious

"I don't think that's a good idea. Plus tryouts start any minute and since you're captain-" Frank drifted off as he realised he was taking to himself. Rolling his eyes he walked off to Nico to complain.

"Alright Hill?" James smirked running a hand through his hair as he hovered infront of her on his broom.

Lily and Alya shared unimpressed looks

"James, can you just kindly fuck off. It would really be appreciated" Lily smiled sarcastically

"Okay that was rude. I'm literally captain, I'm hosting the tryouts" James countered glancing at Alya through the corner of his eye "plus I'm not here for you, I wanted to talk to Hill"

Alya winced as James leaned closer, "come to cheer me on?" He asked with a grin

"No" She replied back blankly as James' face fell from its smile "I'm here for Lily actually"

"Since when we're you too friends?" James asked looking between them.

"Since Mcgonall made me Lily's tutor" Alya replied picking her nails in disinterest

"Hm" James hummed "maybe I could speak to Mcgon about having a tutor. Specifically a really pretty one whose second name rhymes with pill and first name rhymes with Payla"

"Payla isn't a word"

"Shut up Lily"

"Is your brother okay? How do you live with this thing?"

"I usually just block out his Whiney voice"

"Great minds think alike" Alya hummed in agreement with Lily.

"Oi! Potters!" Nico shouted from the pitch below "time to get started"

Lily waved goodbye to Alya as she hopped on her broom effortlessly and glided down.

"Can I get a good luck kiss?" James asked Alya with a shimmer of hope in his eyes

"What do you think my answers is going to be, genuinely? Considering your track record, over all these years"

"Yes?" James replied raising an eyebrow

"Go fuck yourself"

"I'd rather fuc-"

"James!" Nico shouted once again from below interrupting him

James rolled his eyes in frustration as he threw Alya a wink before flying away.

The early October air grazed Alya's skin as she pulled her robes tighter around her. The wind kissed her face making her cheeks go pink and tangled her dark hair that she tried to sort out, and failed miserably at, with her mitten clad hands.

She watched the Gryffindors below whirling and diving while passing back and forth and running drills.

She liked watching Quidditch, it was so interesting to her, though she'd never been taught to play. In fact everything at Hogwarts was so interesting to her. Being a Muggleborn she was constantly in awe of everything she discovered on the daily about Hogwarts and magic.
Perhaps that was why she loved her lessons so much. They fascinated her. Sure, she wasn't the best behaved student out there, but she could say that she atleast she took her studies seriously. Because it wasn't really a chore for her, she loved learning new things about her and her school. Alya just found it so... alluring.

Glancing across the pitch Lily shot her a quick wave before whacking a Bludger away into the distance.
Alya's eyes glided across the players until they landed on James. He sat on his broom hovering above everyone, making sure everything was as it should be and inspecting the students below.
His messy dark curls fell over his face making him push them back every once and awhile in order to be able to see. Descending to the floor he landed next to Nico and Frank, Infront of a group of  Seventh Year Gryffindor girls. James and Nico swaggered up to them messing their hair while grinning charmingly as Frank followed behind them shaking his head.

The seventh year girls giggled and twirled their hair as James and Nico joked and showed off on their brooms.

Alya adverted her gaze as she spotted James glancing over towards her, hoping that she was watching.

Pretending as if she didn't notice him she went back to picking the chipped nail varnish off her nails.

A/N

So basically the whole third Grandma thing came from Viola being all like "ooooo mcgon you look like a lovely sweet little grandma" when Professor McGonagall interacted with the kids when they were little. And Viola knew it irritated her to no end so obviously kept it going and it just stuck to the present day

Well that's my take on it anyways.

Also I've just realised you all know like nothing about Alya so I'll try and add some info every now and then
