Olivia glanced down momentarily when he complimented her. Her cheeks tinged the slightest shade of pink. She had never been good at accepting compliments. "Thanks! I haven't played since the beginning of summer. I guess I've been so busy with getting ready for school. Do you play an instrument?" she asked. She had always enjoyed piano. It let her take a moment away from the daily stresses and worries that presented themselves. Everything goes away. Playing piano transported the young witch to a completely different realm. It was magical.. Well.. in its own way. "It's Moondance by Van Morrison. I'd love to learn flute so that I could learn how to play that solo." Oh! Her eyes widened momentarily. She had forgotten to congratulate him on his sorting. "Also congrats on being sorted into Slytherin! It's a great house." Her brother was a Slytherin. Plus, she had already met a few nice ones, such as two boys (who were both named Oliver)!

Before she could say anything else, she watched as Brent addressed Sir Nick, her house ghost. Huh. She wondered what brought him here but perhaps it was a little too rude to ask. He was their elder. And he deserved their respect. Besides, he seemed like a very cool ghost. Olivia grinned. "Hello Sir Nick! How are you?"
