Oliver sighed.
Playing professionally with your girlfriend isn't as fun as one would think. To be honest, it kinda sucked.
For one, Quidditch was a dangerous sport. And Henrietta "Harri" Potter wasn't a safe player. Wronski Feints and amazing catches that once made him cheer now causes his heart to plummet. Every movement seemed twice as dangerous as it had been back at Hogwarts (they played at a higher altitude, so it probably was). Plus, the players (especially the Irish) like to play dirtier than any Slytherin ever dared to. Oliver wanted to fly over and check on her every five minutes.
Another thing that sucks is going out to celebrate with the team. Traditionally, the team finds the closest pub and parties all night long (much like the Gryffendor parties, but without hiding the Firewhiskey from Professor McGonagall). But someone always had to flirt with Harri. Oliver isn't normally too jealous (or so he likes to think) but alcohol did NOT help with the little green monster inside him. He had punched more than one wizard who got too touchy-feelly with Harri (this would cause a lot of bar fights, which would get him in the doghouse with Harri).
Plus they were both famous. Harri extremely so for her defeat of Voldemort, and both of them for their Quidditch skills. Witch Weekly had a field day when the two started dating. Every time they go out in public, they end up in the magazine, normally on the cover. It always has articles questioning their sex life and speculating when he was going to pop the question. Harri refused to read the magazine or to give it any of the interviews it has begged for.
But there were some nice things about playing together.
When Harri couldn't find the snitch, she's come over and chat with him while scanning the field. And he always received long congratulations kisses after winning games.
And when the guys ragged on him for bringing his girl to the pub, Harri always had the best comebacks. "Are you jealous that your one night stands won't be seen in public with you?" "Your girl might fight with you less if you took her out once in a while", and "Are you sad Oliver is getting some tonight and you're not?" were her favorites.
And sometimes, when they're out on a date, little kids will recognize them and come up to say hello. Little girls talk about how much they look up to Harri, and how they want to be pretty and famous just like her one day (Harri always blushes and says they'll be wonderful no matter what). Little boys ask about their amazing Quidditch catches and maneuvers and ask "Do you think I could be on a team like you two someday?". Harri would chat with any kids until their parents drag them away. It's one of the few times she doesn't mind seeing herself on the cover of Witch Weekly; the smiles on the kid's faces as she signs them are always worth it.
Oliver pictured the ring box in his coat pocket and wonders what it would be like to play along his fiancée? And what it will be like a bit later to play next to his wife?
