Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alice had received a letter a little while before Gryffindor's first game from Momma Kinzlie, informing her that she had passed her WOMBAT exams and was going to be coming to the school to bring Seb the gift of a new broom. Alice squealed when she read that letter. But moreover, it was her job to get Sebby into place so that Momma Kinzlie could give the gift. Alice had to keep that a secret, which would be tough, but it was something she could do. After all, she'd been keeping her feelings for Seb a secret up til this point... When it came the day for the game, Alice had gotten dressed as usual and went to meal to find her best friend. She had to craft an intricate lie to get Sebby to come down to the pitch before the game started so that they could deliver his new gift to him. The entire walk down to the Great Hall, she was working on what she would say, practicing the words in her head and mumbling them out loud so she had everything right. It needed to be a good fib so that Sebby didn't get suspicious about what Alice was up to, but not good as to make other people volunteer to help as well. Nodding, she had the words right in her mind.

When she walked into the Great Hall, the teen scanned the crowd for Seb, spotting him at the Gryffindor table. Walking over to the table, she dropped down beside him and smiled, wishing him a good morning. Now all she had to do was wait for the sign from Mrs Nora that they were in position. And that came soon after, in the form of her patronus, the silvery hummingbirds. Alice reflected for a moment how that was a cool spell and she couldn't wait to learn it herself. Then she nudged Sebby and said, "Hey Sebby, could you help me with something? I need help getting set up in the Announcers' Booth since Nic is playing. He usually helps, but he's gonna be busy. C'mon." She took Seb's hand in hers, not being specific on what she needed help setting up on purpose. Doing her best to keep a silly grin off her face, she led her friend down to the Quidditch Pitch to the place where they were going to meet up. As they walked, she talked about classes and spellwork, making sure to keep the conversation engaging so that he didn't ask what she needed help with, since technically she didn't really need help with anything and she hadn't come up with that part.
