Olly leaped off his swing while it was at its highest point and landed neatly on the ground. He threw his arms up, partly to help keep his balance but also partly to acknowledge his victory. And he made his way over to the monkey bars and the boy.
But then Olly paused.
"Kettleburn? As in Charlotte Kettleburn?" The name threw him off. So much that he almost forgot the boys first name. What had come before Kettleburn. Callum, right. It started with a C, like Charlotte. He blinked, but continued walking forward seconds later. It wasn't like Olly necessarily had anything against Charlotte Kettleburn. He was not completely sure why her name made him feel vaguely frightened. Interesting. "I'm Olly. Or Oliver. Oliver Tate Thomas-Borzekowski."
The boy was an interesting one. Callum had settled atop the monkey bars just in time to see the boy leap from his swing and dismount perfectly, and the Gryffindor snorted, but ultimately clapped, finding him to be very amusing, if nothing else. "A ten from the judges," he jested with a smile.
...Oh. He had made the association. Was that a bad thing? He could not tell by the way the boy said it, but he had not immediately lit up with joy at the prospect of Callum being Char's sister, so he assumed it was not an entirely good association in the boy's mind. "The same, yes. Char is my big sister." Not really bigger as they both stood at about the same height, but surely this kid - Olly, was it? - knew what he meant.
"Nice to meet you, Olly." Quite a mouthful of a full name. There was slight hesitation, but he could not help but inquire further, "Are you and Char friends?" What did he have to say about her?
