Spotted: The Ravenclaw Seeker compromising her loyalties for a matter of the heart. Rumor has it that Gryffindor threw the Slytherin match, so I wonder what this means for the Ravenclaw match today. Hopefully, Gryffindor's keeper is on his game today instead of sitting in someone's pocket with a few galleons on the line.

"What is this supposed to mean?" Oliver asked, holding the small parchment plane in the air in the locker room. His heart was racing as he felt the anger building up inside of him. He would never have imagined that someone would jeopardize their position on this team with such trivial things, but here he was looking at the lot of them, and none of them were willing to step up and confess.

Ginny looked at Ron out of the corner of her eye and let out a heavy sigh. Part of her wanted to step out and tell Oliver everything. Then there was the part of her that felt some kind of loyalty to her brother. Ron had been stuck in a tough spot, and the more she thought about it, the more came to realize that she probably would have done something similar. That was the part that killed her the most.

Oliver looked around the room and noticed all of the players staring directly at the floor. He rolled his eyes and shook his head. "I didn't want to have to do this," he announced, taking note of the few heads that perked up at his voice. "If no one wants to come forward to tell me what the hell happened last week in front of the team, each of you can come to sit with me in my office, and we'll chat. The information you have to give me will determine whether or not you play against Ravenclaw."

"You can't do that!" Ginny shouted, stepping forward with a huff.

Oliver shrugged. "I'm the coach. I can do whatever I deem necessary."

Ginny's head snapped towards Harry and narrowed her eyes at him. "Aren't you going to do something, captain?" she hissed.

Harry looked at her and shook his head. "Captain doesn't outrank Coach," he said, hanging his head. "Sorry, Gin."

"This is asinine," Ginny grumbled, dropping her broom and turning on her heel to storm towards the door of the locker. She stopped short when she heard Oliver's voice.

"If you leave, you don't play."

Ginny looked back at him over her shoulder and shook her head. "Then I guess I don't play." With a shrug of her shoulders, she walked out of the door.

"Ron," Oliver called, motioning towards his office. "You're up first."

Cho paced the floor in front of her locker as she read over the most recent blast in her hands. The connection she felt with Ron was special, but deep down, there was a part of her that questioned whether his feelings for her were true.

Roger watched Cho pace for a few moments before deciding that he should probably say something to her. He could tell that there was a lot on her mind, and that was the last thing a seeker needed before a big game. Of course, he had seen the Gossip Witch blast, but that shouldn't have been enough to rattle her. Something else must be on her mind.

"Is everything okay, Chang?" Rodger asked, walking over to her locker. He leaned up against the wall and crossed his arms over his chest as he waited for her reply.

Cho looked at him for a moment and nodded her head. "Yeah, everything's fine, Davis."

"You don't look like everything's fine," Roger replied, cocking his head to the side.

"It's just Gossip Witch," she said, shaking her head as she sat down on the bench behind her. "Her latest blast is about my relationship with -"

"Ron," Roger interjected. "Yeah, the whole team already knew about you two."

Cho's jaw dropped open as she turned to look at Rodger. "How did everyone know?"

"You two haven't been the most secretive," he replied with a laugh, taking a seat beside her on the bench. "I've seen the way he watches you in a match when he's not playing. Anyone would be stupid not to see the way he feels about you."

Cho smiled as her cheeks flushed with color. "He watches me play?"

"Absolutely," he said, nodding his head.

"But what about that comment about the Slytherin match? Why would he throw the match?" Cho asked, leaning forward to rest her elbows on her knees. She was struggling to wrap her mind around why Ron would risk the Quidditch championship when everyone was predicting for Gryffindor to beat Slytherin in that match.

"Maybe someone didn't give him much choice," Roger replied with a shrug as he stood up from the bench. "You ready to go out there and beat Potter for that snitch today?"

"Potter doesn't stand a chance," Cho said, looking up at Roger with a smirk on her face. She stood up from the bench and grabbed her broom. The pair made their way to the door and onto the pitch.

Love and Quidditch are two games that shouldn't be played at the same time. That's how hearts get broken, and alliances are destroyed. Gryffindor came up with the snitch today, and Ravenclaw came up a bit short.

Hopefully, no hearts get broken tonight.

Stay tuned,
