Olly had ran through the door almost as soon as it had opened. He had been keeping his eye on it, after all. He'd said he'd be he first one through so he had to stick to that. Plus he knew that there was no point in stalling; he was not going to be allowed to stay for the other lesson anyway and he didn't want to miss the fun. So far the only people in the other part of the room were his fellow first years. Cool. First year party! A party where they got attacked by snitches.

"Perquorsis." No. "Prese...Porso..." No and no. What was the incantation again? He'd practiced it several times when instructed, but it was a weird word. Hard to say. Oh well, technically he did not even need to use it. But he would have to use something. At the moment, he was just standing in the room. And many snitches seemed to think he was a good target. When the first one smacked into his arm - hard - Olly winced and took cover.

He dived under a table, hoping the cover above his head would ward off some attacks by the snitches. He reached for the nearest bench, pulling it close to him so it could shield him from one side. All he needed was three more and he could hide out for the rest of the lesson. It was a perfect plan, obviously.
