"Oh, don't mind that. I just like getting stories." Getting stories, making stories; they were all the same to him and he could of course do them on his own skill but he liked the spin the quill was able to make on even the most mundane events. It kept life interesting...for him at least.
"I'm Blaise, by the way." Because he now realized he'd never actually introduced himself to her. The little boy was all set to get into some interesting ideas he could try once he got himself a pair of snippers when the Head Boy happened.
Of course. Of course this bloody competition would need stupid magic to get done. He should have known. He should have stayed in bed. It wasn't like the boy needed the food provided here this morning, he'd already been fed earlier today and there would be lunch in a few hours. Blaise's expression fell drastically, now containing a hint of annoyance as well and there was no coming back, even after his new friend (they were friends now, yes?) offered to help him.
"No." His voice held a little too much conviction even as he spoke. "No, it's stupid. I don't want to learn. I don't have my stupid wand and don't want to try stupid magic." So that was it? All excited about a race and now nothing? He was ready to go back to his Common Room thanks.
Stories? Of course he did. Olympia smiled at him,
"Oh, okay." She then nodded as he introduced himself.
"I'm Olympia." She glanced at the quill, still poised next to her.
"Not writing that one down?" The third year laughed.
Olympia watched as Blaise's face dropped completely as Zander began talking and was suprised by his tone of voice when he spoke again.
"What?? Noooo, don't be like that!!!" Olympia pouted.
"Don't you dare bail on me! Your wand will work just the same as the snippers!" Oh.. he hadn't brought his wand out with him?? Olympia found this odd. She never went
anywhere without hers.. even to the toilet. She looked at him. Maybe he was fibbing.
"Why is it stupid?!" Olympia pouted. She liked games and competition so, especially when all the houses were competing against each other.
"You don't need to learn anything.. Just try?" Olympia did not know what to say to make Blaise feel better, but she was hoping he would get into the swing of it once they started.
"And you can't miss the race!!"
Slightly exasperated, Olympia turned to Zander and her fellow Gryffindors for help.
"Where does everyone want to start? What would be best?" She resumed the tapping of her wand, keen to get going.
