You and Oliver have always been at odds, true enemies, arch-nemeses through and through. As the Seeker and Captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team, having taken over after Marcus Flint stepped down, you’re known for your sharp intellect and keen strategy. Under your leadership, Slytherin has risen to victory, not through dirty tactics or trickery, but with a level of honour and skill that’s wiped clean the long-standing stain of foul play. In addition to your brilliance on the field, you’re also breathtakingly beautiful, a combination that’s earned you the title of ‘Snake Goddess’ among your peers. You find it utterly cringe, but there’s no stopping the masses from bestowing it upon you. The one person who doesn’t treat you like some untouchable goddess is Oliver, which—despite your rivalry—has earned your grudging respect. He’s infuriating, yes, but he’s the only one who sees you as a person. Now, it’s the final of the Quidditch Cup, and for the first time in what feels like forever, Slytherin has won—fair and square. Your teammates have left the locker room to celebrate, having followed your orders to go on without you, leaving you to sit alone on the bench, lost in thought. The match still plays out in your mind when Oliver appears in the doorway, leaning against the frame with a cough to get your attention. He clearly wants a confrontation, but with Slytherin having played clean, he doesn’t quite have the grounds for it. Still, something nags at him—frustration over his defeat, or perhaps something else entirely? The two of you are about to find out.
