Chapter 66: Back to Practice
A week was in after the holiday break and everything was back to normal. Well, almost. Wood was working the Quidditch team harder than ever, no matter what the weather brought.
"Why does Wood have to work us so hard?" complained Katie Bell in the locker room.
"Because if we win the match with Hufflepuff, we would have to go up against Slytherin in the house championship!" replied Angelina.
"So? He has been working us hard. I'll be tired by the time we play Hufflepuff!"
"Wouldn't the match for the house championship be the first time in over seven years or something? I heard Wood tell Harry about." Phoenix asked. "I mean, I know how important it is to work extra hard, especially if we are this close, but not so hard to wear out your players."
"You girls just need to suck it up. This is Quidditch, a very competitive sport." Angelina retorted before leaving the two.
"Why does she always defend him?" Phoenix asked.
Katie shrugged, "I think she has a thing for him." She looked at Phoenix with a thought in her mind, "I think there is something else behind this practice."
"What? Angie refused to go out with Wood, so he is taking it out on everyone? I thought you said she had a thing for him?"
Katie rolled her eyes before continuing with her thought, "No, Phoenix, I think it has something to do with you. He seems to pick a lot on you."
"Yeah, I've noticed."
