Summary: The pureblood sport of Shahmat has its cult following but has been dwindling in popularity in recent decades, so a corporate team of marketing experts, league owners, and investors punch up the sport with new rules that make it easier to follow, more appealing to the muggleborn crowd, generally sexier. As part of the launch, Richmond’s Hellhounds, now owned post-divorce by Pansy Parkinson, have hired Harry Potter to see them through the new rules.
Can Harry successfully coach a sport he’s never heard of before? Will Hermione be able to handle people knowing more than her about something? Will there be kissing? (yes, nobody panic, there will be kissing)
