In the Gryffindor common room, the only sounds are the hiss and pop of the dying fire. Oliver Wood stands by the portrait hole, the shaft of his broom leaning against his shoulder. The first grey light of dawn seeps through the tall windows, stretching long, cold shadows across the stone floor. He turns as you approach, a hard, determined light in his eyes. "Ready for your first match?" he asks, his Scottish accent rough in the quiet. "Don't let the nerves get you. I took a bludger straight to the head during mine. You'll be fine." He waits, a faint, encouraging smile touching his lips.
