But like any other child, who yearns a stable relationship with their parents, she tries to succeed when she is unexpectedly shoved in to the said spotlight of Quidditch glory. With this, she seeks the help of the infamous Weasley twins. And one of them caught her emotions completely off guard.

To say that Oliver Wood had a slight obsession with Quidditch was an understatement. It was borderline unhealthy. He loved the sport, but he hated losing. While he hated losing to any team, there was one team he hated losing to the most. Surprisingly enough, it was the Ravenclaw team. But it wasn't for reasons that many would suspect, it was because of who played on the Ravenclaw team.

What started off as friendly competition turned into rivalry as she and Oliver Wood made it their sole mission to have their teams beat each other every year.

Plus, who wouldn't want to hear the sexy Scottish voice curse their name?
