Lyra Nott is Slytherin's pride on the Quidditch pitch - a ruthless, calculating Chaser and the newly appointed team captain. With her sharp tactics and sharper tongue, she's led her team to the top of the rankings, and she's determined to crush Gryffindor in the final match of the season.
Her biggest obstacle? Oliver Wood - Gryffindor's fierce, annoyingly passionate captain, and the one person who knows how to get under her skin. Their rivalry is infamous at Hogwarts: brutal showdowns on the pitch, biting remarks in the corridors, and enough tension to make even Professor Snape raise an eyebrow.
They're sworn enemies.
But when a strange magical accident during a Quidditch practice leaves Lyra and Oliver magically bound - forced to feel each other's emotions until the link is broken - everything changes.
Now Lyra must balance leading her team, hiding her growing confusion, and trying not to fall for the one person she's meant to hate. As the final match draws near, the question isn't just who will win the Cup...
...it's whether Lyra can keep her heart from betraying her house.

Captain - An Oliver Wood Fanfiction
"What? No, of course not. You're joking right?" That's what Oliver Wood told Erin Evans when she had finally gathered the courage to ask him out on a date. He had stepped on her heart and didn't even seem to notice it. But this year Erin is going for team captain of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, so she'd for sure be on Oliver's radar. Erin wants to protect her heart from getting hurt all over again, but can she keep that up when Oliver can't seem to leave her alone? All characters except for Erin Evans are owned by JK Rowling. I do NOT support JKR at all, but I wrote this fan fiction years ago when I didn't know any better, and the Harry Potter universe was a big part of my teen life. Includes LGBTQ+ themes/characters, but the main romance is a boyxgirl.Complete
Strategy { Oliver Wood}
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. Melanie Anderson has been playing for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team as Chaser since her second year. 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. Oliver wants to win for the sake of winning, but Melanie wants to win just to see the frustrated look on Oliver's face because it's just so damn cute. Plus, who wouldn't want to hear the sexy Scottish voice curse their name?Complete
