"It's all a team effort," Allegra answered, plopping herself on her bed and kicking her shoes off. She figured she might as well work right there if Lily wanted to talk to her so she opened her playbook and made a few notes as she spoke. "I mean, you look at some of the other teams and they play like seven players. We work together, using our position to help everyone else on the team. That's the secret to our success."

"Yeah," Lily said. "That and we don't play dirty so as to give the other team penalty shots. I mean, what do they gain from giving us penalty shots? It's only helping us to beat them worse." She grinned, perhaps a bit too cockily.

"Well, only one team here plays like that," Allegra pointed out with a small smile. "So does this mean I won't hear you guys complaining about three-hour practices any more?" she asked, breaking out into a wide grin.

"I never complain," Lily said. "I'm good about that." And that was the truth. Lily wasn't really all that big on complaining about long practices. "You've never had a probelm with me. Maybe with the others, but not with me."

"No, it's mostly Drew," Allegra answered with a sigh. "Hiro a bit, every once in a while Ari, and I'm sure Kellen gripes privately, but Drew is defintiely the biggest of the complainers when it comes to practicing."

"Yeah," Lily said quietly. "Drew." She thought she had better keep her mouth shut on the subject of Drew, even though on the inside she knew it was burning her up more than anything else. He had changed, even if he didn't think so.

Allegra looked up and frowned at the tone of voice. She would have sworn that Lily was part of the Drew Thornton Fan Club, a group of girls who seemed to think he could do no wrong.
As his big sister, Allegra knew better.
Still, it bothered her to hear his name said with such distaste. "What about Drew?" she asked.

"Him and I still haven't been getting along well," Lily said quietly. "He's changed Allegra, I'm telling you he has. No matter what he says." She was quiet for a bit. "It's frustrating. I've apologized and everything and I am sorry truely I am, but that doesn't seem to be good enough for Drew."

Allegra's frown deepend. "How has he changed?" she asked, slightly confused. As far as she could tell, he was still the same quidditch-obsessed, risk-taking, goof-off he always had been. The only thing that had really changed in the last few years was the added infatuation with a certain Gryffindor.

"Talk to him," Lily said quietly. "He used to care about people and now it's like he doesn't. Course you wouldn't see it cause your his sister and he'd always care about you, but it's like he lost his goodness as a person."

"What do you mean?" Allegra asked, furrowing her brow. No, as his sister, she might not see a change towards her, but Allegra had seen Drew helping out a couple of firsties just the other day. And for all of the complaining he had done doing detention for Davenport, he had been down at the stables every day that week helping her out.

"Sure maybe he still cares in the big scheme of things," Lily said. "But Allegra, the way he treated me was just cold. Even after I apologized. And it hurt, even when we fight I've still always considered Drew my oldest friend, but I don't think we're friends anymore."

"What exactly did he say?" Allegra asked. The person Lily was describing just didn't sound like her brother. Lily must have misunderstood something... or Drew must have some sort of reason for acting the way he did.

"He said his feelings didn't matter to me," Lily said. "He said it's gotten easier not to care. He said we were okay but then I tried to talk to him and all he would say is okay. Without any feeling or emotion or anything. And really Allegra, I am sorry, but I don't think he believes me."

Allegra sighed a bit. Yeah... that was her brother all right. "Is he still mad about the kiss, or is it just the Anti-Drew thing you had going?" she asked. It was blunt, but she needed to know more facts if she was going to get to the bottom of it.
