Alicia's smile grew warmer, a soft laughter, even, bubbled up out of nowhere, at the thought that Viktor would like to run with her again. No, she didn't know him, other than what she had read about him in the papers and seen of him – from a distance – at the TriWizard Tournament, but this short time that she had actually talked to him, had been easy and she didn't feel like she had to try.
Even though Alicia was pleased to hear that more organized Quidditch was in the making, she felt a bit of relief that it wouldn't be professionally for a good long while. Everything was still new and she still felt, to some extent, like a visitor in her own home, but Quidditch would be familiar, both to watch and play. "I think people'll love to have Quidditch back," she agreed with him, "and it'll seem more... I don't know, approachable." She looked towards where he was pointing; the turn in the path. "Race you to the gate?" she dared him, not really sure where it came from, but this increase in speed and the light mood brought out the playful competitiveness in her, even if she knew she didn't stand a chance against his speed... unless she cheated, of course.
