RP: Interviews
Who: Oliver Wood and Lavender Brown
When: 1 September 2004
Where: The Leaky Cauldron
What: Lavender is interviewing Oliver about the upcoming season
Status: Closed/Incomplete
Rating: PG

Oliver sat at an empty table at the Leaky Cauldron and drummed his fingers against the surface. He knew that interviews with the press were part of his job with Puddlemere, but he was always afraid they would steer the conversation away from the game and towards his personal life. He worked very hard to keep his son sheltered from the media, and tried to give him a normal life. He hadn't dated since Colin's mother died eight years ago. He was starting to entertain the idea of dating again, but he wasn't sure if he wanted to subject some woman or his son to the attention that would cause.

He gave in and ordered a pint, just to calm his nerves. He vaguely remembered Lavender Brown from school. She was significantly younger and bubbly if he recalled correctly. Hopefully she would be a fair journalist. That was all Oliver really wanted. A nice article talking about the upcoming season and quidditch. He might even plug the upcoming Men of Quidditch calendar for St Mungo's. He did get a kick of posing in his kilt, even if the photographer insisted he be shirtless.

"Oh, but I've seen you take hits from a quaffle that would knock most men off their brooms," Lavender replied. There had been times during her first year that she was afraid he was going to die. Of course she was possibly the most over-dramatic first year to grace the halls of Hogwarts, but that didn't change the fact that he was an ace keeper. "I suppose none of them ever bother to challenge you in front of a goal or three." Lavender knew how blokes could be. It was all a pissing contest as long as they knew they could win. Women were much more devious in their competitions.

Laughing a little, Lavender gave a nod as if she agreed with his statement about keeping his personal life personal. And then continued with the questioning because, well, she wouldn't be a good reporter if she didn't. "Oh, I'm sure there's nothing you could do that would embarrass him. Loads of kids would love to have a dad as famous as you are. So tell me, Oliver, when you do start dating, what is it that you're looking for? What sorts of women are you attracted to?"
