Summary: Miles and Alicia reminisce on their love of sunrises.
Disclaimer: These characters are never mine.
Miles and Alicia loved to fly. They spent countless hours arguing who was better at Quidditch, but it never reached a solution. Both were too stubborn to give in to the other and they both also believed they were right. Miles was a chaser for Puddlemere United and because of this argued he was more passionate about the sport. Alicia didn't buy it for one minute. She worked for the Department of Magical Games and Sports. She arranged for teams to play at different locations - the biggest of these events being the World Cup.
The one thing they could agree on was that they loved to fly at sunrise. There was something about breathing in the crisp air, the sun slowly rising on the horizon and the wind lightly blowing during the spring and summer that brought them closer together. It brought back memories of how they first met at Hogwarts.
Alicia was nervous about the try out for the Gryffindor Quidditch team so she decided to fly a few laps around the pitch early that morning before breakfast to clear her head.
"I thought I was the only one who flew before breakfast," Miles called out to her, startling her, "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I just found it interesting you were out here this early."
"Yeah, just trying to clear my head."
"Really? Me too. What are you nervous about?"
"I'd rather not discuss it. Besides how do you figure that's how I'm feeling?"
"That's usually what brings me out here at this time of morning too."
Since this first encounter sunrises have meant a lot to them. Alicia still wondered what caused Miles to approach her that day. They were from rival houses, but somehow he found a way to push that aside and pursue her romantically. She wouldn't have believed that's what would happen between them if she were told on that morning.
