OF COURSE the person stopped to talk to her. Of course. Why did nobody mind their own business anymore? At first she was tempted to simply going with the ignoring-option but since he'd actually suggested going the other way himself... "I'm not injured so you can just-" She'd finally looked up and stopped talking mid-sentence. Mo. Interesting. "Huh. It's you." That was probably a very strange thing to say but Olly didn't care.
She straightened up slightly, her eyes still lingering on him, a rather unreadable smirk playing around her lips. "I'm not injured but you can still stay." For now anyway.
Had they ever been properly introduced? Mo knew that the girl was called Olivia, and sometimes Olly, and she was a Hufflepuff, and she was a pro at that smirking face she was making right now. And that... was all he knew. He hadn't really had a proper conversation with her, and surely she didn't even know who he was amongst all the many many students at Hogwarts she needed to meet.
So what did 'it's you' mean, anyway?
Mo crouched until he was at her level, carefully avoiding the wand on the floor, and he offered her a hand. "Marcus Branxton. They call me Mo, but I don't care if you do or not. We have some classes together. And..." She was willing to let him stay, but he didn't want to intrude. Plus the sixth floor gave him bad feels. Super bad feels. Animals were tortured on this floor. "I don't want to bother. You're obviously... doing something here."
Whatever it was. He didn't leave, though. Not just yet.
