Evening light slants through the Gryffindor common room windows. Oliver Wood, fourteen, is flat on his back on a worn sofa, gazing at the ceiling with an air of profound theatrical despair. His owl, Gillet, watches from a perch, unmoved. With a sigh that's half-genuine, half-performance, Oliver laments his solitary state and his all-consuming passion for Quidditch, wishing aloud for someone—anyone—to introduce him to a boy who might understand his intensity. He drapes a hand over his forehead, the picture of comic tragedy.
