Snitches and Quaffles

Untitled Part 17

A few days later, it was time for their first date. Alfons knew that Lisel loved horses so he was taking her to a horse farm.

"This is beautiful countryside," Lisel sighed.

Alfons nodded and led her to the stable where a handful of horses were.

"Are you sure we can be here?"

Alfons just led her over to a horse that matched his brown eyes and said. "This is Copper."

Lisel held out her hand and the horse instantly nuzzled it.

"I thought I heard some commotion," a voice said.

Lisel froze but Alfons smirked, turned around and said. "Hey grandpa."

"Hey Alfons," he said walking over and greeting his grandson.

Lisel exclaimed. "Why didn't you tell me this is your grandparent's house!"

Alfons smirked and asked. "I forgot that didn't I?"

"So, this is the girlfriend?" Alfons' grandfather asked.

Alfons nodded and said. "Yes, this is Liselotte Epstein or as I like to call her Lotte."

"It's Lisel, actually. Mr. --" she hesitated, not knowing the last name because she didn't know if this was this was his maternal or paternal grandfather.

"Oh, you're British," he said.

"Yes."

He nodded. Copper nuzzled at Lisel's hand again to get her attention.

"It seems like she likes you."

"I like her too."

"Want to take her for a ride?"

"I never learned to ride horses, sir?"

Alfons let Copper out of the pen, mounted her and pulled Lisel up next to him. They rode off into the countryside. Lisel rested her head against Alfons' shoulder.

"So, how long have you known how to ride horses?"

"Just as long as I've known to ride a broom, I love Quidditch but there's nothing like riding a horse."

They rode into a clearing and there was a picnic. Alfons hopped off gracefully and helped Lisel off but she tripped and fell on top of him.

"Little Miss Clumsy," he smirked up at her, looking in her blue diamond eyes.

The couple got up and walked to the blanket.

"Is this too much for our first date?" he asked, worriedly.

Lisel shook her head and sat down on the yellow blanket. He sat down and began taking out some food out of the basket.

"I've never seen any of this food, you're not trying to poison me are you?" Lisel teased.

Alfons chuckled and said. "For one thing, Viktor would kill me and I'm not. These are just foods you've never tried and your favourite Bulgarian dessert."

"Baklava?"

Alfons nodded. The couple began eating. Alfons explained what foods there were. They laid down eating baklava.

"It's beautiful, it's been a great first date."

"Are you sure it's not too much?"

Lisel leaned over and gave him a kiss to reassure him. They separated from the kiss and Lisel decided to explore. This is why she was a hatstall between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, she was very curious. Alfons let his girlfriend explore.
