He blushed a bit at the compliment but kept his smile. Getting compliments from new people was always so weird to him but he always appreciated it so much. "Thanks, Esme. I try to be." Not that his first thoughts were to be mean, but moreso that he always tried to be as nice as possible to people...unless they've completely lost his trust or hurt him orh his friends or family in some way. There was never any coming back from that. "I do like creatures, but I think I mostly prefer being around them and petting them and playing them when it's a playful creature." Because obviously he wasn't going to go around playing with a dragon or a thestral. Oliver grinned because he was actually really surprised Esme even remembered that he enjoyed working out, and he was pretty sure the last time he saw her, he had just begun working out too. He had come so far since then. "I do yeah. Someone told me I could be in law enforcement but I've never been too into enforcing things. I think I just need to look at a huge list of careers and read up on them." At least then he would know what every position entailed and could choose from there. "My favorite subject is charms but I really don't want to teach..." As much as he loved kids alredy, teaching just wasn't something he could imagine himself doing. Just wasn't for him. He laughed a little at Esme's response because he knew the feeling, he was going through it right now. "I am having the hardest time studying for OWLs right now. It's the worst. And I'm not bad at school things, I just suck at studying."
What a smart way to travel. WHY DID HE NEVER USE THE EXTENSION CHARM ON HIS BACK?????? His mind was kind of blown. "WHOA. That's what I need to do! That's so smart, Esme. Thanks." He meant it so much. EXTENSION CHARM. And now Esme was saying almost exactly what he had been thinking earlier. This was so cool...though it was also sad because that meant she was as homesick as he was. "I really understand that. I kind of feel that way all the time. I can't wait for winter break. Plus, being at home with your twin is nicer than only going to school with her." Especially since Timila was nicer to him at home...or at leastthat's how it felt. Ooh, a toast! Esme could get behind that. Smiling, she clunked her thermos against his cup. "Cheers! To an amazing 2090 and all the things that it will hold for us." Whatever he had been dealing with would be better and she would have some idea what to do with her life and would hopefully see her family soon. Being homesick sucked.
Deciding to ignore the blush instead of pointing it out (which he probably wouldn't have wanted), Esme brushed off the thanks. "Just telling things how they are." He was a very nice boy; all the people who thought that Slytherins were mean needed to meet him, Hady, Mason, and many others because they were all good people. Oliver's next comment made her laugh, however. "Well, I imagine that's how a lot of us are. Can't imagine most people wanting a Dragon or Nundu for a pet." Even though she wasn't big on history she had heard the story of Eldon Elsrickle. Yeah, she was never going to do anything as dumb as that. A Unicorn was more than enough for her; in fact she had asked her parents for one repeatedly and they always told her no. "Law enforcement? My dad is in that field; he's an Auror!" But that line of work wasn't for everyone. It certainly wasn't for HER. "Well, we can look in the library together. I mean if you want to." Maybe he would rather do that alone or with someone else like his sister. It would be a nice for them both to have some idea of what they wanted to do with their lives after Hogwarts. It was a big world out there filled with loads of possibilities and she didn't want to miss out on anything just because she was unsure of what she wanted. "I don't think I want to be a teacher either, I would much rather do something that involves working with people. Or Unicorns!" Maybe she could have a Unicorn farm! That would be AMAZING. "You're not the only one who is bad with studying because I am too. Especially with things like History of Magic." She was not a big fan of history in all honestly. It bored her.
Hehe. It was funny to see his reaction to her charm suggestion. "Well, sometimes I miss out on things too. But I'm glad to give a tip!" Now life would be a little easier for Oliver as far as that was concerned. Maybe he would pack away everything that he would possibly need the same way that she did. Esme was trying to never be caught unprepared but she had no idea how well that would go. She would see in time. "I'm glad that I am not the only one who gets homesick. I can't wait to see the rest of my family again." She always got like this during term though by the end of summer she was itching to go back to Hogwarts. "Do you not get along great with your sister at school?" Twins didn't always get along and she knew that; luckily for her she didn't have that problem with Juno. They were best friends. |
