So, yeah, naturally, Olly liked it better when it was like it was right now.
Olly shrugged with a small sigh, her eyes resting on Dora even though the other girl wasn't looking at her. "Not really, no." But it was worth a try, yeah? Actually, Olly would never have thought that she would get so worried about her OWLs and final exams. She partly blamed Els.
And to distract herself from those thoughts, she leaned forward slightly in an attempt to catch a glimpse of what Dora was scribbling in her book. "Yeah? What are you working on?"
"No, but we're magic, so it doesn't exactly stop people from visiting or leaving." Which Dora had always found rather unfortunate. That muggles had the luxury of being snowed in with family when she never did. An apocalyptic storm could have happened around them and still have no effect on them or their travels so long as magic was around.
Dora leaned against the stone corner wall behind her and finally settled her gaze proper on Olly, hood falling back enough so that her entire face could be seen. "I like to experiment." She shrugged.
"Potions, runes, spells, activities... you name it I like to try and test it." But did she ever elaborate moooore than that? No. Not that someone had ever asked further questions before.
"We could mess around with spells now if you want."
