I just assumed that she saw the book in question and was angry that
there was writing all in it.  We all know how protective she is of the
books in the library...  I never considered there to be more to it than that.

As for the Gobstones team, this informations comes from the HP Lexicon: "Gobstones is a game involving stones played something like marbles, in which the stones spit disgusting liquid at the opposing player when they lose a point. There are Gobstone clubs at Hogwarts (OP17) and also an International Gobstones League (DP) Many of the kids at Hogwarts have a set of Gobstones and it's played fairly regularly (CS10, PA16, GF20). Harry was tempted to buy a solid gold set in Diagon Alley (PA4). 
The offices of the Official Gobstones Club are in the Department of
Games and Sports on level seven of the Ministry of Magic (OP7)."
