If the only thing that could hurt him was far away and unknown, that seemed to be the case... Would suck though if he was accidentally brought down by it. Would be his Achilles heel, she supposed. She giggled at the thought of talking about superheroes with a boy. Oliver was really something. "So Batman can't fly?" She felt that it was a valid question if Spiderman could shoot webs; bats could fly after all. "I think Giraffe Man would be really good at things like getting cats out of trees." What? Cats could have heroes too!

She couldn't believe how awesome this was even if his sister was in a different House than him. Obviously people could have different personalities - like her and Juno - but it would have been pretty cool if they had both been in Slytherin. "Well, I think it's cool to be in a different House than the rest of your family. You're one of a kind and special!" Nothing wrong with being placed in the same House as Voldemort had been. "She's a Hufflepuff too, yes but she actually isn't very similar to me besides in appearance." So it shouldn't be hard for him to be able to tell them apart.

"Maybe Professor Hirsch since he teaches Defence Against the Dark Arts!" It was a pretty good guess in her book since he clearly knew how to duel AND fight physically. Both were important assets to have. "I'm just not sure who is as wise as Dumbledore." That was more of a problem since the Professors all seemed smart. "Maybe Professor Flamsteed because he seems to know a lot of stuff about space that makes my head hurt sometimes." Enjoyable classes, but they could be headache inducing. "After dinner sounds good to me! So are you a morning person then? Getting up early to get some running in?" Esme had to admire his determination because sometimes it took a lot to get her out of bed in the mornings.
Oliver beamed at Esme as she really seemed to grasp that Superman was the coolest superhero ever. "Yeah! He really is. And sometimes villains come from not Earth and they find out about Kryptonite and they manage to use it against him but generally Superman makes it out okay." Because he was Superman and that's what Superman did, obviously. And Batman...well Batman was lame. "Nope, he can't fly. He was afraid of bats and then he overcame his fear and then decided to dress in all black and look like a bat....and he's rich and uses his money to help make cool things so he can beat people." Which was cool, yeah, but he wasn't SUPERMAN. Superman was cool.

"Yeah, I think it's better we're in different houses because we get some space from each other." Obviously, they could get space in the same house, but this was easier. "Not that I don't love her, but it's complicated." And really that's all he could tell anyone about it because he didn't even understand what was going on between him and his sister. "Yeah? Isn't it weird how twins are supposed to be similar or something and then end up being so different?" Sure, they were in the belly at the same time, but that didn't mean a whole lot when it came down to it. They were just like siblings that were years apart and whatnot.

Esme had a good point when suggesting Hirsch. The man could probably use his really good looks as a tactic too because he sure was good looking. Oliver wanted to be that good looking one day.....but that had nothing to do with this conversation. "I think if Airey and Hirsch could be one person, they'd be just as good as Dumbledore....maybe with a little Myers in it too." Myers was pretty different from the other two, but he was open minded about the world, and Dumbledore sounded like he had been that way too, so it would only make sense. "They'd be like a super-wizard!" That would be way cooler than Superman.

"I didn't used to be a morning person, I used to just sleep.....all the time really? But then I got really into working out, and now I run with my friend Brian, he's in Hufflepuff too. So I guess running with someone makes getting up easier." And once you've got a routine down, breaking it to sleep in wasn't really worth it.
