Chapter Three
It had been a couple weeks since term had started and Quidditch trials would be starting soon. Alaya was extremely excited for Quidditch to start again. She loved the game and she loved flying.
The morning of the trials to begin for Ravenclaw Alaya got up early to eat breakfast before heading to the girls locker room to change into her Quidditch robes. A couple days earlier her parents had sent her and Shane the new Firebolt for the new season. On her way to the pitch Blaise caught up with her
"Good morning beautiful!" he beamed kissing her cheek. "Morning dear." She smiled giving him a kiss. "So Shane and Draco are getting ready for their trials, Slytherin has theirs after Ravenclaw is finished. I came to watch both. Want to meet me in the stands after you finish to watch them with me?" he asked looking down at her. "Sure. I got to go I'll see you later!" she smiled kissing him before entering the middle of the pitch where other previous players and hopefuls were standing.
After a quick meeting the students were split into two teams. Alaya was playing her normal position of Chaser. At the meeting Roger had also made her Co-Captain for the year as well. After they were dismissed to start the game Alaya mounted her broom and took off to her starting position. Once the Quaffel was released she had it and began making goals left and right. It was hard to get the ball away from her for even a minute. At the end of the game Alaya had made seventy five percent of the goals scored for her team. Once the game was done everyone had to do their flying skills and such. By the time trials were over she was exhausted.
Once she touched back down she headed to the girls locker room for a quick shower and to get changed. On her way she passed her brother and Malfoy and wished them good luck. In the locker room she took a warm shower letting her muscles relax, when she was done she put on a pair of low rise destroyed jeans, red cami, black jacket, and tennis shoes before heading up to the stands where Blaise was sitting.
"Dear you were brilliant out there. I don't see why you're not Captain." Blaise smiled pulling her into his lap and letting her rest her head on his shoulder. "Well Roger made me Co-Captain today so I know I'm on the team again." She smiled. "Nice. Well just relax and watch your brother and Malfoy show off like they do every year." He laughed putting his arms around her. She sighed nuzzling her head into him and watched the Slytherin's Quidditch trials. As the trials went on she slowly drifted off to sleep in Blaise's lap only to be woke up with him gently shaking her.
"Come on let's go meet them." He said smiling at her as she rubbed her eyes stretching. The two of them made their way down to the pitch to meet up with Shane and Malfoy. It was nearing dinner and Alaya was starving seeing that she didn't go to lunch after trials.
"You two were bloody brilliant!" Blaise said once they were close enough to Shane and Malfoy. "Thanks but we were nothing compare to Alaya." Malfoy said looking at her with a small smirk that sent chills down her spine. "Thanks." She smiled. "Well let's go get some dinner, I'm starving!" Shane said beginning to head back to the castle and the other three quickly followed.
Once in the Great Hall Alaya sat down with the boys and began eating before anyone else did. They talked and discussed Quidditch throughout dinner and how they thought the season would go and who would win the Quidditch cup that year. Also while they were eating a third year gave both Blaise and Alaya an invitation to dinner with Professor Slughorn the following evening.
"Well I got to get back to the common room I got a paper for Trelawney that I have to finish if I want to go to this dinner tomorrow. I see you in the morning Alaya, night." Blaise said getting up kissing her on the cheek before leaving the Great Hall. "I have some things to finish up to." Shane said getting up and following Blaise leaving Malfoy and Alaya.
"You're not leaving either are you?" Alaya asked looking at Malfoy giggling. "No I'm good on all my homework till Monday." He laughed. "What is it with the two of them always waiting for the last minute to do homework? I mean I always have mine done by Saturday afternoon at the latest." She said pushing away her empty plate. "Yeah. You want to go for a walk?" Malfoy asked looking at her. "Sure." She said getting up and Malfoy followed suit. The two of them made their way out of the Great Hall and onto the grounds of the school.
"So how are things between you and Blaise?" Malfoy asked once they got outside. "They're good. You and Pansy on or off this week?" Alaya teased looking up at him. "Well Pansy has taken interest in some seventh year so she's left me alone." He laughed giving Alaya a small smile. The two made their way down to the Black Lake and Alaya sat down leaning up against a tree and Malfoy took the spot beside her.
"I love the lake this time of year, it's gorgeous." Alaya said gazing out at the water. "Yeah, it's not the only thing breathtaking." He murmured barely audible making Alaya ask what he said. "Uhm the lake it's breathtaking." He quickly said covering up his comment about Alaya that he had accidently said aloud. "Yeah." She sighed leaning her head back against the trunk of the tree closing her eyes.
As the two sat in silence together Malfoy stared at her studying her soft delicate features while she had her eyes closed. She looked like a doll. Her rosy cheeks and lips stood out against her flawless porcelain skin, her tiny body that had curves in all the right places, and her gorgeous long midnight black hair that completed everything making her gorgeous diamond blue eyes shine when her eyes were open.
While Malfoy continued to study her he found his chest tight and the urge just to hold her. He wanted so bad to have what Blaise did, he wanted this gorgeous creature to be his own. Since school had began he found himself longing to be with her every free minute he had, just to be near her. It didn't matter if she was with Blaise while they spent time together, even if it made his heart ache for her even more. Although while he began to realize his feelings for her he tried to lock them away so he wouldn't come between her and one of his best friend. As hard as tried to lock away his feelings he found it hard to ignore the way he felt about her, especially when they were alone like they were now.
When Alaya opened her eyes she found Malfoy staring at her. She gave a small laugh breaking him out of his trance.
"Am I that interesting to look at Malfoy?" she asked once he came back to reality. "Sorry I zoned out." He said trying to change the subject. "Right Malfoy. I could feel you staring at me the whole time my eyes were shut." She teased pushing him softly. "Oh really. So then tell me do you feel it every time I look at you or only when your eyes are closed." He teased back. "You're such a smart ass Malfoy." She laughed making him smile. "Really. Well I guess if I'm such an ass I'll just have to do this." He laughed beginning to tickle her side.
Alaya laughed trying to fight him off but he kept tickling her. While he was she fell into his lap laughing hysterically and he continued to tickle her for a few more minutes. When he stopped he was holding her, their faces dangerously close together. He was close enough that the scent of her shampoo and conditioner was intoxicating. She looked into his eyes giving them bother butterflies. He began to lean closer to her but stopped himself before he did something that he would possibly regret later. He then helped her get up and the two walked back to the castle in silence.
Once in the main hall Malfoy told her good night and Alaya made her way up to her common room to see if she could find Natalia. At this point she was extremely confused about her feelings not only for Blaise but for Malfoy as well.
It hadn't been until this year that the two of them began talking and hanging out on a regular basis. She liked being with him and found herself wanting to spend as much time with him as possible, even if she wouldn't admit it to herself. Unlike Blaise, Malfoy gave her butterflies so intense that her knees went week when she was around him. Blaise on the other hand treated her like a princess and made her laugh. Besides how could Alaya ever be with someone like Malfoy, he was cold hearted and mean to anyone other than Slytherins and herself. He was a rumored Death Eater. Alaya just couldn't be with someone as cold hearted as he was. Although no matter how many times she told herself she belonged with Blaise and Malfoy just wasn't her type she still found herself wanting to be with him.
