The Other Malfoy ; Oliver Wood

5

*unedited*

In the Slytherin locker rooms, Cassi was trying to round everyone up so she could go over their game plan. She had spent most of her free time working on these plans knowing Oliver Wood would most definitely have something up his sleeve. Once she had everyone's attention, she started to nervously go over what she had worked on. Marcus Flint, one of the other chasers, kept groaning and rolling his eyes at everything she had to say. Deep down, she knew he was just upset that he wasn't captain this year, but he still managed to get on her nerves. 

"Does everyone understand?" Cassi asked her team as she wrapped up.

"Yes," Everyone responded, glad she was finished.

"Alright," she started. "Let's kick some Gryffindor ass!" She exclaimed. Her team just blankly stared at her. "Ok. To the pitch, then," she ushered the team over to the entrance of the pitch

Staring out onto the pitch, waiting to be announced, the nerves started to get to Cassi. She started feeling nauseous. Gryffindor was just announced. Cassi took a deep breath knowing they would be out as soon as the announcer introduced the team. She closed her eyes, breathing deeply some more. It wasn't helping too much

"...Slytherin!" She heard. Cassi sighed and pushed off on her broom to take off into the sky. She took a few laps around the pitch, hoping the cool breeze on her face would calm her down a bit. Flying by the Slytherin section of the crowd, she saw Sophie and Olivia there cheering and waving at her. She smiled and felt a lot better. 

The match was not off to a good start for them. Gryffindor had managed to get a few points on them. Marcus Flint was fed up at this and decided to take control. He took a bat from one of their beaters and started hitting bludgers at any Gryffindor he saw first. One of those hit Oliver Wood, who went through the hoop he was guarding, and on to the ground. Cassi was furious. She didn't want to get any extra penalties during the game so she decided to give him hell after. Flint was able to score five goals, but it did not make her feel better.

"Harry Potter has caught the snitch! Gryffindor wins!" The announcer said. Cassi was not happy.

Cassi was the first one back in the locker room. she was angrily pacing, waiting for the rest of her team. She spotted Marcus Flint.

"What the hell, Flint?" She yelled at him.

"What do you mean?" He asked like he could do no wrong.

"You know exactly what I mean! Did you forget I'm the captain? I can have you kicked off this team," she yelled at him some more.

"Your terrible strategy wasn't working. Mine did. And no you cannot kick me off this team," he said, confidently.

"Your plan was shit! You put Wood in the hospital wing and we lost. Terrible plan if you ask me."

"Who cares if Wood is in the hospital wing? Plus, we were winning. If Higgs was just a bit faster we would have won."

"Do NOT blame this on Higgs. This is all your fault," Cassi said and stormed away to change.

Cassi was stood in front of the doors to the hospital wing. She had no idea what possessed her to make her think this was a good idea. 

"Fuck it," she said and walked in.

She found Oliver laying in a bed towards the back. He was awake so she walked over to him. A few members of the Gryffindor team were sitting around him which made her nervous.

"Hey," she said as she approach. His team stared at her like she had three heads but he smiled at her.

"Hi," he said. "Didn't expect to see you here."

"Honestly, me neither," she said nervously, rubbing the back of her neck.

"Can you guys give us a minute?" Oliver said to his team. They looked back and forth between us and hesitantly left. "Sit," he patted a spot on his bed.

"Sorry about Flint. I already threatened him for you. Though, I suppose you can do it yourself, too, he drives me mad," Cassi said, getting heated just at the thought of Marcus. Oliver laughed.

"Thank you. And I definitely will. I think he drives everyone mad," he chuckled. They sat in silence for a bit, staring at each other. "Was that the only reason why you came here?"

"What?" Cassi felt like she had been broken from a trance.

"To apologize about Flint?"

"Uhm, no," she hesitated. "I wanted to make sure you were ok," she blushed and looked down at her hands in her lap. Oliver smiled and blushed a bit too. He put his hand on hers.

"I'm perfect. Thank you," she smiled at him and blushed even harder. He squeezed her hand.
