Harry couldn't help it - he was still an Oliver Wood fan. And despite his original plan to listen to the game on his wireless at 12 Grimmauld Place, a staticky playback that he couldn't figure out had forced him from the relative calm of his home over to Victory Bar to watch the game. He'd ordered a beer from Lisa and had settled into a dark corner, hoping to go unseen. That was Harry's general M.O., to be honest. He preferred not to be seen. In his work as an Auror, and when training the latest recruits, he could just be Harry Potter, Auror. But the ten-year anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts had sparked a resurgence in his popularity and he found it difficult to be in public without people whispering or asking for his autograph or just generally bothering him.
So, lately he didn't go out much. And he when he did, he stuck to dark corners like he was doing now. He wasn't wearing his glasses, hoping it would make him somehow less recognizable, and his long hair was in a mess, as usual, covering his famous scar. Lisa had given him a small smile when she'd brought his drink, remarking that it was nice to see him, it had seemed to be a while since she had. He had agreed and even told her she looked nice tonight. That was something coming from him - he wasn't exactly a flirt, after all. She'd blushed a little bit, but being Lisa, he knew it was simply because someone had complimented her, not because he was Harry Potter.
The game started with a bang - a beautiful catch by Wood as the Kestrels attempted a score within a minute of getting the Quaffle, and Harry's attention went fully to the big screen at the front of the bar.
