"Well, I'm glad that things are better for you, I know what it's like to be in a pretty down mood." So Oliver definitely wasn't alone there.

How was it going for her? Esme wasn't too sure yet. "I can't decide what I want to do either. I might end up working with creatures in some capacity." Divination was her favourite subject, but she wasn't sure if she wanted to be a Professor or a fortuneteller. Maybe she could have a Unicorn farm. That would be incredible. "Well, what kind of things are you passionate about?" There had to be something and maybe she could help him out a little. "Well, you got that right. I'm not big on reading so I've had some naps in there myself." Though sometimes she settled for sketching the stained glass windows; that kind of thing interested her lately.

Hehe. "Good, because I might not be here the next time." That wouldn't be very nice but she was sure that he would do better in the future. At least he was nice and warm now. "I'm a Hufflepuff, that's what we do," she joked as she gave him some grilled cheese. "I needed to clear my head and this seemed like the perfect place to come." Sometimes fresh air was all she needed.
"Thanks, I appreciate that. And hopefully neither of us has to deal with being in down moods for a while." Oliver wasn't sure he could deal with more bad news. If anything else happened, he'd probably actually beg his mother to let him go home.

Oooo magical creatures seemed like a popular choice for the students he'd spoken to, and he didn't blame them. He loved magic creatures, but he wasn't sure he could take care of them or teach about them for the rest of his life. He kind of just wanted to play with some of them for the rest of his life. "You're really nice, so I feel like you'd be good at that. Handling animals has gotta be way easier when you're just naturally a nice person." Maybe it was a theory or maybe he had read it somewhere, but he was certain what he'd said was true. Nice people and animals just went together like PB&J. "Um.....I don't feel too passionate about many thing actually..." There was working out, which he loved to do, but he wasn't sure if being a trainer or something would be much fun for him. "I'm the same way! I've even tried those audible book things at home and I still fall asleep." Ollie shrugged. Studying and reading just weren't for him really. Although, he'd loved reading comic books the one time he had been able to.

Esme had a good point, he wasn't going to be able to rely on dumb luck every time he forgot his wand. Maybe he'd tie a string to it and hang it around his neck and under his shirt everywhere. Sounded like an easy enough way to keep his wand on him. Ollie grinned at her next comment though. Hufflepuffs really were great. Esme and his good friend Brian were proof of that. "I need to learn some of your preparation skills." Especially if it meant carrying food and drinks with you. He could carry ice cream with him everywhere! How great would that be??? "Oh. That's actually why I came out here too. Is everything okay??" Maybe venting would help her clear her mind, if venting was what she needed. Either way, Oliver was here for her, especially since she'd just saved him from the cold...and hunger.
