Shed Thoughts
Title: Shed Thoughts
Summary: It's not sulking if there's a legitimate reason.
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters/Pairings: Oliver/Katie
Genre: Gen, humour
Rating: G
Warnings: N/A
Word Count: 197
Author's Notes: For mandyloo, who gave me the prompt "sore losers".
Technically, technically, Oliver is not a sore loser.
Sure he's sore, from Quidditch and flying a broom without a Cushioning Charm (he'll have to go after the twins for removing it and then hiding his wand), but he's not a loser.
It's not that Oliver's being petty or anything; he's lost plenty of times before, which isn't the best of things, but he takes his frustrations out on the Pitch or in the showers, and sooner or later he's fine.
It's just that, strictly speaking, Oliver did not lose, because Katie cheated. She can call it anything she wants, namely "strategy", but she did not win fair and square and Oliver knows it and he told her and she laughed and that is why he's now in the shed at the bottom of their garden having a moment.
Not sulking, mind.
It's up to her if she thinks feigning a twisted ankle means that it's all right to "win" the race from the gate to the front door. Oliver will remain with his dignity and integrity intact and pretend that he did not slide on his arse after trying to scramble after Katie and her laughing smile.
