Harry
With a final spiral dive, Harry threw everything he had into catching the snitch, it had been mere inches between him and the Kenmare seeker. Fireworks and cheers ricocheted throughout the stands and the pitch as the Falcons took their first win of the season. His eyes immediately fell to their private box looking for those dazzling green eyes he was so in love with. He gave his parents a weak grin as he headed toward the pitch, he was exhausted. "We have lots to work on" Owen bit out in warning, a proud smile on his face regardless. Harry chuckled, nodding his agreement as he dismounted. "Oi" Karl shouted, tossing Harry a towel and nodding toward the security office beside the back entrance. Harry furrowed his brows as he took in the commotion of security struggling to detain someone.
Harry kept a close eye on it as the team made their way towards the locker room. His captain showed just as much interest as Harry's eyes narrowed. "Tori?" Harry hissed as he started jogging towards them. "What's going on?" Owen snapped just behind him at Kassie who seemed to be attempting to mediate the situation. "She was trying to get on the pitch" Kassie explained with exasperation as Astoria shouted at Harry, a wild look in her eyes and not a single sound leaving her lips. Harry shoved through the security and pulled Astoria into his arms. "Did you cast a fucking silencing charm on her?" He hissed in question at Kassie as he urged Astoria towards the locker room. Astoria shoved off his chest and looked him dead in his face as she shouted in silent but slow, clear movements "ARIELLA!" Dread filled his chest as he shoved through the crowd towards the back exit.
"From what I gathered, it's a media issue, I didn't want it becoming public knowledge before we were ready to handle it," Kassie explained, chasing after them. Astoria flipped Kassie the middle finger as she followed him towards the back gates. As they pushed through the exit, Owen caught Tori's arm and removed the silencing spell placed on her. "Keep us updated" he said gently holding her gaze as he released her, she wasted no time in turning and apparating them to Black Industries.
"What happened Tori?" Harry asked fearfully as they ran up the stairs. "I don't know" Tori admitted as he yanked the doors open, the entire security team was being torn apart by Saunders. "Harry! I cleared the floor myself, I don't know how it happened!" Martin explained desperately, guilt lining every one of his features. Harry's stomach turned as he ran for the lift, Astoria already stepping inside as he followed after her. She hit the button for Ariella's floor as Harry braced himself against its doors. His heart was pounding in fear as the lift rose. "Harry, I called Mattheo-" Astoria whispered.
The doors dinged and too slowly opened as they reached their level and Harry shot out. "Harry-" Hermione said gently as her pacing stilled, catching him off guard, why was she here? "What happened?" Harry asked, moving towards Ariella's office. "I don't know-" Hermione answered quietly as Peloma rushed out of her office. Her eyes red and her face blotchy as if she had been crying. "I should have listened to Mr. Riddle sooner," she said tearfully as he stormed past her into Ariella's office.
Signs of a struggle had nausea gripping his stomach, her guest chairs knocked over. The couch to the side shoved out of place, blood smeared across the front of her desk. "Harry-" Hermione tried again as she followed him into Ariella's office. "What the fuck happened, where is she!?" He argued, going to check her office bathroom. "She's just down the hall-" Hermione explained as he turned to go find her. "-Harry" she shouted a touch louder, catching his attention. "Malfoy isn't letting anyone near her" she warned.
A groan of infuriating anger tore from his throat as he left the office, Peloma nodding him in their direction. He rounded the corner to head into a boardroom just as Draco fucking Malfoy stepped out of it blocking his way in. "Where the fuck were you?" Malfoy hissed venomously, preventing him from entering. "If you don't get out of my fucking way" Harry warned threateningly as Malfoy stepped out of the doorway. "She doesn't want to see anyone other than you," Malfoy explained as Harry pushed past him.
