The Battle of Hogwarts was an interesting topic. He definitely would not mind talking about that. And Olly even knew a few things about it. Not boring things, or a lot of specific names, but he understood the gist of it. He was excited to be talking about shield and disarming charms. Though he rarely did homework or assigned reading he did know about those things because they were pretty exciting.
"Hey Norah, want to be partners?"
Norah was saved the trouble of searching for a partner by none other than Oliver the Ickle Cutie. Not too shabby for a partner at all.
"Sure!" She turned to face him, pulling her back with her so she could rummage around for her notes from before. She pulled out two chocolate frogs, a drawing of a cat from who knows when, and her Astronomy notes from fourth year, before finally getting to the slightly crumpled charms parchment. She smoothed it on the floor. There. All better. Pausing to drop one of the chocolate frogs in Oliver's bag and put a finger in front of her lips so he'd know not to shout about it (food wasn't allowed in this classroom either, right? Or was that just one of Professor Culloden's rules? Who knew, at this point), she skimmed her notes.
"Well it says here that the disarming charm's incantation is 'expelliarmus' and the shield charm's one is 'protego,'" she began slowly, bringing the parchment closer to her nose in attempt to make out scribbly handwriting. The wand movement was....uh....what did that say? Maybe Oliver would know, even if he was still a firstie. After that genius niffler idea he'd had, Norah wouldn't be surprised if he were some sort of prodigy. They could move on to the deeper questions Professor Baxter had asked if he didn't know the wand movements either.[/color]
