"Hooch! Stop!," Severus Snape exclaimed angrily as he strode across the Quidditch Pitch, a silver and green Slytherin scarf wrapped around his neck.
Rolanda Hooch, just enchanting the casket with the Quidditch balls to hover through the air towards her office, turned around with a loud sigh.
"What is it, Snape?!"
"I want the game to be repeated! I seriously doubt your refeereing quality! Slytherin is the rightful winner of this game!"
Rolanda raised one eyebrow and snorted in disbelief. She should have known that she would have Severus on her heels as soon as it was clear that Gryffindor had won.
"What makes you think I was wrong? If I am correct, and well, I know I am, Slytherin has 80 points to their tally while Gryffindor has 140 – without the 150 points for capturing the snitch, by the way."
"Oh, I thought you were not able to count, thanks for the information! But what about the fouls you did not see due to the foggy weather?! We should have received penalty shots for that! Even a monkey would be a better referee than you!"
"You think you can do this better, Snape? This is strenuous work!," Rolanda growled and actually shoved the man backwards in anger, only to receive a punch against her shoulder in response.
"Oh, I am sure it is for somebody with no magical skills whatsoever!"
Their aggressive shouts continued to resound over the Quidditch Pitch.

I am still waiting for the day they finally jump at each other."
