Clint was annoyed. He'd woken up early to check the pitch for the Hufflepuff versus Slytherin match to find bloody flobber-worms everywhere. They'd infested the field overnight as some student thought it'd be hilarious to dump the stock and spread lettuce everywhere. They'd destroyed the field and the match was canceled. There wasn't a way to get the field in repair and it seemed everyone headed to Hogsmeade to enjoy the sunny afternoon. Clint sat out and stared over the field. He missed Quidditch. Missed playing it. Missed feeling the wind on his face and even the cold rain.

There wasn't anything like the feel of perfectly timed play that led to that perfect goal. The air was crisp and the weather fair. He could hear the students and teachers walking to Hogsmeade but was content to sit here, alone. There hadn't been news in ages from his publicist. Falmouth seemed to have abandoned him. Leaning back, he looked at the cloudless sky. A perfect day for a game. He was a fantastic athlete and he'd been fucking reduced to this. He should be playing. Should be out there with his teammates and enjoying the promise of a win. He should be on the list for the English national team. This was supposed to be his year.

"And I fucked it up," he muttered, standing up. "Fucked it up because I fucked the wrong bird."

Disgusted with himself, he headed down the stairs and off the pitch. The gate was a short walk and unable to bear the chatter of students, he apparated quickly to the center of town. The Three Broomsticks seemed to be the best choice as they closed it off to students. "Thank God," he muttered, pushing the doors open.

Nothing like a pint for what ails you.

"Well," he said, laughing at Wood's obvious discomfort over his ex and current girlfriend. "They haven't killed one another yet. One of 'em is bound to swing. My bet's on Spinnet but Bell seems like she might have some fight in her." He shrugged. "Who knows," he said, leering at the two women who had just been joined by George Weasley. "Maybe you can get them together."

He was sure the comment would piss off Wood but, it would be worth it. Glancing over at his...whatever Wood was today, he said, "You should've waited til after the World Cup." Snorting, he took a drink. "Though, they'd probably offer you anything you wanted just to get you back."

Wood was right. Who would be next? What if he couldn't change? He wanted too. A certain witch had him head over heels but he wasn't sure he could even make a commitment without disappointing her. Was too easy to slip back into old habits. "Birds are nothing but trouble," he grumbled. "Pain in the neck, the lot of them."

Oliver snorted. "I'm not really concerned about them killing each other. It's more likely going to be me they're aiming for." He shook his head and glanced over again, watching Alicia throw back her first shot. "My money's on Alicia too. She's already took a swing at Katie. 'Course Katie might be wanting some payback about now."

Returning the harassment, Oliver smiled smugly. "And you should know better than to get caught with your dick where it doesn't belong." He went on. "How's that working out for you lately?" Warrington was right, he'd received the sealed envelopes and just sent them back. Oliver was fully aware what was inside and what the cost was to open them.

Once his drink was finally refilled, Oliver finished that one just as quickly, reminding himself he didn't drink like this, especially not with all the shite going on lately. "Tell me about it." He actually clapped Warrington on the shoulder. "But then you can tolerate a lot when you're getting shagged."

He shrugged. "Is that so," he said, throwing his head back and laughing. "Spinnet hit Bell? I'd have paid galleons to see that." He glanced over at Bell, she was laughing. "I dunno, Bell's a bit taller. Course, she hexed the holy hell out of me in school." He shuddered. "What're you gonna do about them?" He didn't know Spinne that well but she didn't seem the type to give up. "Spinnet still lusting after you?"

Again, Wood was right. "Well, you know. A good shag and all that. Course, I should've not done it in the owner's office desk." He shrugged. "Can't do a thing about it now." Glancing over at Wood, her wondered if he should spill about Clearwater. "I'd say my current pick is working out very well."

He raised his glass in toast. "To good shags and sexy women. Life really would be boring without them."
