Alice skipped into the Quidditch Pitch, bubbling with enthusiasm. She'd been itching to get her hands on a broom not like the KURUMI itching but the other kind since the last school year. No, she couldn't afford one, but the school brooms served just as nicely. "Hello, Professor Vindinctus," she said, keeping her eyes trained on the brooms. And Kurumi's cookies.

AHEM.

Alice deserved on of those, too.

She hopped over and stood nonchalantly behind Kurumi, silently demanding cookies. She had become addicted since she had downed at least a dozen of them at the Feast. Hey, they were amazingly delicious! The lioness couldn't help herself. She had more longing for Kurumi-cookies than she did for flying. But.. then.. NO. She gave the whole box to Vindinctus. Drat. She would have to beg Kurumi for another batch later, she would.
