Before you go

by Wolke

Following Marcus Flint in his seventh (and hopefully this time final) year at Hogwarts on his quest of becoming the world's best Quidditch player. But then a plan to distract Oliver Wood backfires and suddenly Marcus finds himself in an unlikely love triangle. And soon enough he has to make a decision: What does he want most of all? The friendship, the girl or the Quidditch cup?

Interlude

Katie entered the changing room and was swept up by Angelina straight away.

"We won!", the tall girl screeched into her ear. Katie laughed and freed herself from the older student's embrace.

"We sure did. I can't believe how we played today. And not just us. For the first time it felt like Slytherin was not playing with the intention to kill us.", Katie said whilst sitting down on the floor, joining Alicia.

"Well you may want to ask our esteemed captain as to why none of us are bleeding.", Alicia said conspiratorially. Wood, upon hearing the word captain, tried to hide behind his broom.

"I think I need to shower. Well done team!" He tried to get up but Fred and George Weasley sat down on either side of him.

"Yes, Oliver. Do tell." George said. Or Fred. Katie still had trouble telling the two of them apart. She was only 100% certain when Angelina was snogging one of them. Well, 80% certain that then it was her boyfriend, Fred.

Oliver shrugged and filled them in on his and Flint's plan to impress the scouts.

"Why didnt't you tell us about that?", Angelina demanded, but not angrily.

"Because you would have just thought that I was naive and that Flint would have taken advantage of the situation." Oliver mumbled.

"Oh Oliver. Of course we would have thought that." Fred said and ruffled Oliver's hair.

"Ok, that's enough. Well played, team. And now shower. We've got a party to attend."
