I go running every day." At this point, it was hard for Ollie to imagine a time when he didn't run so often. It had already been two years since he and Brian had decided to go running instead of letting all of the food get to their bodies. He never regreted a minute of it.
Had anyone gone in there recently? It was forbidden.... But Oliver had a feeling if this girl was asking, it was because she wanted to be one of the next to venture in. That wouldn't end well. "Um, I'm not sure if any student has gone in there without supervision? I know you get detention if you go in, not sure how long though." Honestly, Oliver never worried himself with the details of it all because he was a rule follower. He never really had any interest in breaking rules, especially not to go into a creepy magical forest. For all he knew, the forest would eat him whole and no one would ever notice he was gone. ~MAGIC~
ANCIENT?!?!?!?!? Olivia's reaction was cute and it made him smile. Eightteen really had come really fast. His years at Hogwarts had seemed to drag on and on but his age just kept going up...which probably didn't make sense, but that was how Ollie felt. "I actually didn't realize my eightteenth birthday was so soon, but yeah, I am excited, I guess?" He had been so excited for seventeen because he'd be able to apparate, and so he didn't spend much time thinking about the birthdays to come. "I'll be officially legal in all of Europe, which is really kind of cool." Who didn't want to be a legal adult, right??
"Yeeaah...maybe we can meet halfway or something? Library is on the fourth floor and I'll be doing loads of studying this term." And there was a great view at the desks over by the windows which he often got distracted by, so they could hang out there...or anywhere else. Oliver just hated walking up all those stairs. The minute he didn't have to take Astronomy any more (even though he enjoyed Professor Flamsteed teaching it), he was ecstatic. Now he rarely ever walked up that high unless it was to see his twin sister.
He smiled and nodded. She was right, it could be both of those things. "I think my favorite season is autumn. I like the colors of the leaves and the weather. It's never too cold around here in the autumn."
Company on her run? Oh yes PLEASE. Oliver was awesome! She grinned happily at his comment. “
I’d love that! That’d be awesome. I just hope that I don’t slow you down too much with tripping. I’m sure it’d make for an interesting run.” Never a dull moment at least! Having a running buddy would definitely help her stay on track with her progress and exercise regime. It’d be good for her in a long run, especially when summer finally rolled around. Olivia needed to stay in shape. She took great pride in looking and feeling good.
Detention if you went in? Well…. Detention meant staying inside all day. Despite considering herself someone that bent the rules, she had never ended up in detention before nor did she have any plan for that. At Beauxbatons, she had managed to get away with a few things; however, now it seemed almost impossible to get away with things. Nevertheless, Cornelius found a way to get around everything. How did he manage that? She’d have to ask. “
Detention? Yeah… No thanks. I plan on not getting detention that wouldn’t be fun at all.” She could also lose points as well. Merlin. Being friends with Prefects was really putting things in perspective.
“
Yes, you will be legal,” she nodded in agreement. There was so much he could do. It must have been a little scary though. He’d have much more expectations and whatnot now that he was an adult. “
Do you know what you want to do after Hogwarts?”
Olivia chuckled at his statement. Meeting halfway totally seemed fair to her. It would have been quite unreasonable of her to expect him to climb the whole way up to her. She could sacrifice visiting the dreaded library for her new friend, Oliver. He’d be worth it. “
Of course! Halfway sounds better. Less stairs to climb!” she beamed. Olivia, too, hated climbing stairs as she had short legs. Being five foot one and a half was hard, y’know?
Autumn. She couldn’t wait to see it. She smiled. “
I can’t wait to see all the leaves change colours,” she said with a nod. She wasn’t looking too much forward to the winter. Hopefully it’d be better than Beauxbatons as that school had been FREEZING!
