So, there's a challenge called The Restricted Challenge. I'm putting all of them into this collection :)

#1: Restriction/Guideline - Write a story based in the Trio Era, but you cannot include or mention Harry Potter, Ron Weasley or Hermione Granger.


Oliver Wood was sitting in the stands of the Quidditch pitch, just thinking. He did this every few days, and it helped him focus on thinking up new Quidditch strategies for the Gryffindor team.

But now, his eyes and thoughts were on the pretty Katie Bell chatting with one of her friends on the other side of the pitch.

She was such a great Chaser, and had given Gryffindor several game-changing throws of the quaffle. And she always managed to be nice to almost everybody, yet still had the spunk to step up for her friends when they were in need.

But it's not like she would ever notice Oliver's true feelings. He was merely himself.
