Delilah Rose still hated Oliver Wood. After that talk at the stands, nothing really changed. They never talked about it, that conversation never happened.

Christmas break was coming soon and Gryffindor had a match coming up right after. Oliver mandated practice until vacation and no one was too happy with that.

"I need everyone to warm up and-"
"For Merlin's sake, Wood! It's four in the morning!" Delilah complained and everyone muttered their agreements.
"And it's bloody cold!" Angelina piped up from behind her.
"We have a match to win! This is very important!" Oliver told them, "Now get to warming up before we split up and play a game.

Everyone else sighed and got to running around the pitch but Delilah was stubborn. She walked up to him and narrowed her eyes, "You do understand that we want the players to play and not play because they are forced! They won't want to play if they are forced!" She told him.

"They just need to understand the importance of it. They voluntarily signed up for the team and tried out, no one forced them to do it." He folded his arms over his chest.

"But they signed up to have fun and play not get tortured and sleep deprived"

"Well not everything or everyone is who you expect them to be" they both knew they weren't talking about each other but none acknowledged that fact. "And as captain, I have the right to do this"

"I'm not doing this.." Delilah dropped her broom to the floor and walked past Oliver. He watched her go but said nothing.

"Are you kidding me!?" Oliver slammed his hand on the table next to Delilah. Her friends looked at him in shock and confusion. Oliver Wood was very angry. "You just left! Just like that!" The gryffindor table turned heads at him, "I thought we were being civil to each other!"

Delilah wasn't sure what to say. She knew she was unreasonable but nothing made her hate Oliver more than four in the morning.

Once again the two stood in the transfiguration classroom with Minerva McGonagall, "Mr. Wood, Ms. Rose, if this isn't solved before winter break, I'll be taking your captaincy away" she told Oliver before turning to Delilah, "and you will be off the team. Unless you can behave like a team, you can't be on it." She was much more stern than before. "And Ms. Rose, looks like you're staying at Hogwarts for Christmas"

Delilah found out that everyone was leaving for Christmas. Unfortunately she couldn't go home with any of them. Jesse was staying back to give her company which she appreciated but it was going to be lonely.
What made if worse was, Oliver was staying back too. What made it the worst was, Jesse had become acquainted with him.

When Christmas rolled around, the three dropped their friends off at Hogsmeade and then went on about their day.

Delilah ignored Oliver at all costs the whole day but it was at night that she actually found him sitting in the stands in front of the quidditch pitch.

"What are you doing here?" She asked him, sitting down next to him.

"Waiting for you" Oliver looked at her with soft eyes, "I know you tend to come here a lot, I've noticed" Delilah looked at him with a raised brow but didn't say anything, waiting for him to continue, "What is your problem with me Delilah?" He asked, "Look, Quidditch is the most important thing to me, it's my life, I want to play professionally. This captaincy is important and I don't want anything to stop me. So I'm ready to make this civil, I'm ready to drop this but you have to tell me why I was a problem in the first place"
