Sorry guys! Didn't get to update yesterday as I was totally busy... went to this FABULOUS cocktail party for my friend's birthday and only got a few hours sleep. And now I am waiting up til midnight so I can start my NaNo novel! I'm going to be SO dead tomorrow.

Like lots of these chapters, the prompt is only kind of vaguely related to what happens, but meh.

The Holyhead Harpies have announced next season's line-up—and accomplished Chaser Rosaria Bradley has not been included.

Team officials say that Bradley's contract was not renewed after extensive talks with the player, and that the decision was "mutual".

However, sources close to the team reveal that Bradley has been at odds with the team for some time.

"She is extremely competitive," said a former training assistant. "Bradley's definitely not a team player. I can't see her choosing to leave the Harpies; she must have been given no alternative."

Bradley refused to comment on the matter yesterday.

Harry is staggered. "What happened?"

"She threw a hissy-fit when I was made vice-captain," says Ginny, folding the newspaper. "Jones told her she was sick of her attitude. Then she gave her an ultimatum: leave the team quietly, or let Jones tell the Prophet exactly what she said about you. Of course, the public wouldn't take very kindly to that, so she had to agree."

Harry whistles. "Wow."

"That's not all. Turns out she did complain about me hitting her—but Jones heard the whole thing through a window. She told Bradley she was lucky I only hit her once and threw her out of the office!"

Harry does not look entirely convinced. "Won't that just make her even more jealous?"

Ginny nods. "Maybe. But she can't do anything. Jones would never let her get away with it."

"So you mean..."

Suddenly a grin breaks over her face. "She's gone," she says. "It's over."

So I hope that was a satisfactory ending to the Bradley plot... let me know what you thought. And never fear! There are still four chapters to go!
