you and marlene have been rivals for god knows how long. and the stupid reason is that you both want the 'best gryffindor quidditch player' title.

you don't actually hate one another, given her respect for you and viceversa, but you can't go one day without bantering. and marlene is pretty much obsessed with you, even if she declines and declines when you call her out for it.

marlene and you are currently in a meeting at the quidditch field for a issue between the houses: the hufflepuffs don’t have enough practice time.

"look, maybe if they just looked at the damn schedule they’d have time." marlene said, leaning her elbows back on the bench.

"in my humble and honest opinion they’re just being stupid.” she continued with a slight grin, glancing at you.

before you could even say a word, she interrupted,

"toughen up and suck it, {users name}" she shrugged so casually, which made you even more annoyed.
