Snitches and Quaffles

Untitled Part 15

It was now the first practice of the year, the boys were getting changed into their uniforms.

"Is that Krum's cousin in the stands?" The chaser Lief Hannover said to one of the other chasers.

"It is."

"I would love to actually know her name if you know what I mean," he said lewdly.

The next thing he knew he was thrown against the lockers by Viktor. Alfons was standing behind him also seething.

"Don't you dare talk about my cousin like that," Viktor spat at him.

Lief smirked.

"What's going on here?" the captain asked.

"He threw me against the lockers for no reason," Lief complained.

The captain glanced over at Viktor and asked. "Is that true, Krum?"

"No, he was making lewd comments about my cousin who is in the stands."

The captain shrugged and said. "That's your fault you know how protective Krum is of her."

"But you have to agree, she is quite attractive now."

Alfons said. "She is attractive but that shouldn't matter. She doesn't deserve to be talked about like that. She's a sweetheart. You already stole one girl away from me that's not going to happen again."

And with that practice started. After practice they went home. The boys didn't tell Lisel anything about the confrontation between Viktor and Lief in the locker room.

Lisel had gotten the job at the bookstore. She was in her element like Viktor was in his element in the air. She also went to the home matches of the team. She enjoyed cheering her cousin on. He was such a good seeker.

----

It was now early December, Lisel was decorating the house for Christmas and baking Christmas biscuits. The boys were coming home any minute now. She was putting the angel on the top of the tree.

"Wow, it looks so festive in here!" Alfons exclaimed.

She turned around on the ladder losing her balance. Alfons' keeper reflexes kicked in and he caught her in his arms.

"Oh, clumsy me."

He chuckled and put her down as the beeper went off. She rushed to get the cookies from the oven. Viktor instantly grabbed a cookie.

"They're hot, Vic!" she exclaimed.

He burned his fingers.

"That's what you get," she chuckled, putting the cookie sheet on the counter.

Viktor pouted.

"To think you come across as this tough as nails guy but you're really a softie."

"It's nice to have a female presence in the house," Alfons said, walking in the kitchen, grabbing a cookie from the still hot cookie sheet.

Lisel shook her head these lovable but very impulsive boys will be the death of her.

"Bloody hell, that hurt!" Alfons cursed.

"Let me see it," Lisel said.

Alfons showed her his injury. It was at most a first degree burn. She casted a healing spell.

"Feel better?" she asked sweetly.

"Much, thanks. I'm sure you'd make a great healer."

Lisel blushed.

"I see how it is, I burn my fingers and I don't get a second look but my best friend burns his fingers a few minutes later and gets you to check out his injury and a healing spell," Viktor said, bringing attention to hI'm.

Alfons smirked flirtatiously at Lisel and said, "I'm her favourite, deal with it Krum."

"Don't put words in my mouth, Herschel," she smirked flirtatiously back at him.

Alfons eyes lingered on her lipgloss stained lips. He would love to taste that lipgloss. The sexual tension was so hot it could melt the all the snow outside.

It was now time for the annual team Christmas party. Lisel was chatting with the only female on the team Greta Kingston. She was really friendly and nice. She talked to her most of the night. Lisel was somehow stuck under some magical mistletoe.

"Someone as pretty as you shouldn't be under the mistletoe alone."

Lisel turned to see a slightly drunk Alfons. Even though he was slightly drunk, he looked attractive his hair was slightly disheveled and his brown eyes were twinkling mischievously. If she wasn't stuck under the mistletoe she would've walked over and given him a kiss although he wouldn't remember it. The next thing she knew Alfons walked over and did just that. His lips tasted a bit like firewhiskey but not too much. As much as she was enjoying it she pushed him away.

"Why did you do that?" he asked.

"You're drunk, I should get you home."

Alfons sighed. She went to go tell Viktor they were leaving and she apparated home with him. Once they were in his room, he fell instantly on the bed curling up drunkenly.

"I'm a keeper, ya know," he slightly slurred.

She giggled. Thank Merlin, he was a cute/silly drunk. She walked to her room and changed into some pyjamas and she walked back into Alfons' room and he was fast asleep. She laid on the bed next to him.

Early the next morning, Alfons woke up confused. Why was his nose stuck in Lisel's hair, his arm wrapped around her and her head on his chest? He recognised the shirt she was wearing it was one of his old jerseys. It looked good on her. Viktor is going to kill him if anything serious more than a kiss happened between them last night. Yes, he remembered the kiss very vaguely. She deserved a better kiss than that.He fell asleep again.

Around nine the next morning, Lisel woke up. Alfons was not surprisingly still asleep. She slid out of his arms and got up. She went to her room and grabbed a few pepper up potions she set one of them on Alfons' nightstand and the other on Viktor's. She walked downstairs, fed Earl Grey and started some breakfast.

"Morning!"

She turned to see Alfons his hair still disheveled but that was probably from sleeping.

"Thanks for the pepper-up potion, I needed it."

She giggled and said. "Yes, you did. Although you're so silly when you're drunk. You were using lame Quidditch pick up lines on me."

Alfons blushed.

Bloody hell, she could just kiss him again but before she could Viktor walked downstairs. She finished making breakfast and set it down on the table. The boys were off for the holidays.

It was later that day, Alfons and Lisel were alone.

"How did you end up sleeping in one of my old jerseys?"

Lisel blushed and said. "I may or may not have stolen it from the laundry."

"It's fine, it looks great on you. Though that's what usually what boyfriends and girlfriends do."

Lisel was speechless.

"You can keep it, by the way," Alfons smiled at her.

Merlin, she could just kiss him again but Viktor walked in.
