Oliver's Pov

My first game against with my other members -the Puddlemere United team- is today. However, I had no objections about serving as the reserve Keeper for the real game, but for today, I'll be the Keeper for the other team, and I'll be playing against our starter Keeper, Rhian Reyes, who is exceptionally good at his position. I understood that if I wanted to play professionally, I'd need more training and experience, and being a player itself gives me that chance.

While I'm working as a professional Quidditch player. Arayna made the decision to train as a Potions Master. In Hogwarts, Arayna could easily outwit our class. She was always one step ahead of us. Specifically, two years ahead of us. But she excelled in Potions beyond all others, which is why she is perhaps Snape's favorite Ravenclaw House student. Arayna finished her Masters' training about two weeks ago with the aid of Horace Slughorn and Snape. And she had been exploring and inventing a lot in our home lab. 

She wouldn't say anything, but I had a feeling Arayna was concealing something from me. Because I'm with her the most of the time, it's easy to tell. However, whatever vision she had a month before had terrified her. So she's been working a lot, most likely attempting to figure out a means to prevent the vision from coming true.

Last night, though, one of the two house elves, Desha, managed to remove her from her lab and practically lock her in our bedroom with me. Thankfully, I was able to divert her from smashing our bedroom door.

Alden sings, "Wood's late," as he comes behind me to his locker, which is just across from mine. One of the team's starting Chasers is Alden Trevers, a Halfblood. He was one of the first players with whom I became fast friends. He became one of the starter Chasers two years ago, and just finished Ilvermorny 3 years ago. He has blonde hair and brown eyes, giving him a classic California boy appearance.

My grin arises, but I quickly turn around and cover it. I'd never brag about getting intimate with Arayna. Sure, last night was incredible, but what I do with her when no one else is there is strictly between us.

Jeong Kim approaches and unlocks his locker, which is next to mine, giving me a sideways grin. He's also one of my many new mates here. He serves as our starter Seeker, a Pureblood. He was born in Korea and studied at Durmstrang for three years before becoming the beginning seeker a year ago. I give him a shake of my head and remove my top to change into our training gear.

Alden whispers behind me, "Merlin! No fucking way," but I ignore him.

He's probably talking about something ridiculous.

"What?" Jeo asks, his gaze falling on him. Jeo's eyes widened and his mouth dropped open just as I turned my head. He takes a step back, almost tripping over the bench behind him.
