Frank followed what Glen and Sirius said, but only vaguely. He read up on Quidditch so he could join in on discussions of plays and broomsticks, despite not being able to fly very well himself. He had not read enough to perfectly dissect the dynamics of a broom.
He tried to look busy, flicking his wand about, muttering counter curses. "Hmmm... there's one really tough one, do you have any idea what it is?" Frank asked Alice quietly, so as not to disturb the other two.

"Well, since we all want to be Aurors--most of us, at least--I figured it wasn't a good idea to detail my illegal plans." Sirius winked at Alice before focusing on Glen. "I've never seen a Norwegian broom, but those Australian ones at the last quidditch cup were really something else, weren't they? Man, those babies could fly!"

"Um..." Glen flushed. "I didn't get to see much of that, to be honest. I'm not a sporty person, you know, and... well, it's a pretty recent interest." Clearing his throat and looking more than a little embarassed, he bent over the broom again, running countercharms neatly down the length of it.

"Always the Quidditch. Let's dissect some Gobstones next time, then maybe I'll care," Alice muttered, and glanced up. No, blush, you've had your fun, stay put. Nothing embarrassing about discussing countercurses.

She poked the offending area with her wand. "Erm...not sure. Hang on a sec." She leant over and picked up the book, flicking though it.

Frank couldn't help but smile when he heard Alice muttering under her breath. So she wasn't big on Quidditch either.
"You like gobstones?" he asked, before realizing she had her nose in a book. Ugh, sometimes he could be so slow!

Of course she likes Gobstones, Sirius thought. Glen wasn't a quidditch fan, so Sirius could spare some attention for his best girl friend and her love interest. Oh, this would be fun indeed! She also likes kittens, and laughing, and Herbology... Sirius didn't say any of this out loud, though. The key to a successful matchmaking was taking your time.

"Are you any good at flying?" he asked Glen instead, pretending to ignore the other two. "I've got to get my broom fixed as fast as possible. I swear I'm going through withdrawl."

Glen shook his head. "I'm... actually pretty terrible," he admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. "Me on a broom has all the poetry of a drunken duck with a broken wing. I've seen you fly, though. You're bloody brilliant." He smiled slightly, embarassed. "Um, do you need a hand with that, Lewis?"

"I love gobstones!" Alice exclaimed, lowering the book and forgetting her shyness for a moment. "I captain the Gryffindor team, as of last year. Do you play?"

She glanced around, brought back to the present moment by Glen's voice. "Um. I don't think so. Do you recognise this charm?" She poked at it with her wand again.

"Oh, you're the captain?" Frank said stupidly, essentially repeating what Alice had just said. Of course she is, you eejit. You knew that.
"No, no, I don't really play. My Uncle Algie got me a set for my birthday last year, but I haven't used 'em yet. I don't know all the rules. Well I mean, I know them, I just don't really get how they apply to the game..."
Frank sighed. He was sounding like an idiot, yet again.

Sirius looked at the charm and his eyes widened. He batted Alice's wand away, touching his own to the broom. "No, no, I know this one... bloody wankers probably thought this would be a laugh..." He scowled, speaking the incantation to undo a Shrivelling jinx.
