"We should get a season pass," Alicia mused. "We'll want to go to as many games as possible anyway."

Angelina frowned, stirring sugar into her tea. "It'll be expensive."

"Yeah, I know," she replied, trying to sound dismissive. "I've managed to pick up some extra shifts at the Parlour recently. Don't worry about it."

It was true. A season pass would be a big purchase for the witch, but it would be worth it. And if she had to scoop a couple extra cones of ice cream to afford it…well, she was more than happy to make that trade.

"Alicia…" Angelina eyed her friend warily. "You could just ask her for tickets, you know."

"Mm?"

Angelina took a sip from her cup, raising an eyebrow. "Ginny. She'd probably just give you tickets if you asked. It's the least she could do, considering she's the only reason you'll be going."

"That's not true," Alicia insisted. "I like quidditch."

"You wouldn't go to a single game with me before she made the team," Angelina countered. "You said that if you were going to watch a game, you might as well be playing in it. You said—"

"—I know what I said. Can't a girl change her mind?"

"All right." Angelina leaned back in her chair, arms crossed. "Well, at least think about asking her before you spend all your rent money on a bloody season pass."

"I can't just ask her for tickets. It's too much."

Angelina looked pensive. "I just think that she might want you to be there just as much as you want to be there."

The younger girl flushed. "Ange..."

Angelina gave a reassuring smile. "Promise me you'll ask."

"Okay." Alicia nodded slowly. "If you're sure."

Her hesitance almost made Angelina laugh out loud. She had no doubt that Ginny would be more than thrilled to have Alicia in the stands. In fact, she wouldn't be surprised if the young redhead had already squirreled away some tickets for her.

"Yeah," she replied. "I'm pretty sure."
