The salt trickled into her mouth as she licked at her sweaty lips, knuckles white, chest rising and falling rapidly in attempts to catch her breath. The crowd’s cheers were all but a ringing in the Chaser’s ears as she slowly descended to the pitch.
The Slytherin locker room was a similar droning buzz by the time Amélie entered, hands squeezing shoulders as if that was supposed to soothe the pain of such a crushing loss. It was frustrating; she had played such a good game and god, she hated losing to Hufflepuff almost as much as those bloody lions. The Snitch had undone them, nothing much they could do about it but regroup and try harder next match; at least that’s what she muttered to her teammates as she passed with a thin smile.
Her robes were stripped from her body and she sat on the bench in a crop top, lithe fingers dragging themselves through tangled, wet locks as her elbows settled atop of her knees. She lifted her head, and her gaze was met by a familiar pair of mischievous eyes.
She smirked. “You do know that you’re supposed to keep the Bludgers away from me, right?”
END.
