"It's okay, Rooney. I'm....I'm going to be okay." What a lie, but seriously, Liv didn't want him stressed out on her behalf. She was doing that well enough all by her lonesome. So, to assure him of her words, the blonde Gryffindor forced a smile. The best one she could muster. "I just need to do better with focusing. Practice.... It'll be fine." It wasn't that she was being ungrateful or anything, but Olivia Phillips also knew how seriously her boyfriend took his grades. The devastation of not sweeping his OWLs wasn't something she could easily forget, amidst her own drama. Rooney had been so disappointed and upset....
"Come on. Let's try together." Reaching down to grab his hand, she gave it a gentle squeeze before refocusing on her task. Protego, again, came easily....but before Liv could cast the second one, Professor Hirsch was calling time on their mini practice session. They were apparently moving on to whatever the main activity of the day would be.... Which had her wanting to throw up immediately. All the food that had just been revealed from beneath the table covers.... The smell along was enough to make her dry heave. Oh no. Oh no...... Proper motivation, though?
A moment later, she was raising her wand, tapping herself in the forehead. "Impervius." Technically, it wasn't considered cheating, as this spell didn't shield in the way that they were practicing. However, if things did get through....and she were to be hit, Olivia didn't want to deal with stains on her clothing. Depressed or not, the blonde one still continued to care about her outward appearance. Messy on the inside, put together on the outside. Kinda...
Merlin, her classmates were enthusiastic about throwing food, but then again........ It took her back to the beginning of her First Year, when she'd helped Blaise and Bentley start that food fight at the Welcome Feast. That had been a fun time. Lots of laughs and smiles... She'd met Rooney, unofficially, that day. They'd been shout!singing Disney tunes across the Great Hall at one another. Well, she had. Her's had been from Bambi...His had been Singing In the Rain...which wasn't Disney, but...... Appropriately hit with nostalgia, Liv leaned up to kiss his cheek before she tugged him into battle. Maybe this was exactly what she needed. To lighten up and just..... be carefree for a few moments. Carefree and decidedly ruthless. With her shield. And the food. Ugh... Touching the food.
Liv bit back more dry heaving.
Back to the idea of proper motivation, though..... Seeing a glob of custard sailing for Rooney's face, the Gryffindor didn't give herself too much time to overthink it as her wand whipped to the side, the Protego spell slamming up at once.... as well as, "Fiano Duri!"...hoping to stop the assault on his person immediately. Herself, she couldn't protect, apparently, but him.....? Well, that was different. So very different. The shield had worked!
Take. That.
Using her wand, she levitated at plate of spaghetti slinging it across the room towards a cluster of Slytherins. Sorry, Professor. She wasn't interested in touching the food. Nope.
Rooney was disappointed with Liv's reaction to him coming over, but tried not to show it. She was very good at reading him, but he hated to admit to that. With a nod, he shut up and said nothing more to her, but let her take his hand and take him into the midst of the drama from the class. He was never going to get away from people complaining about having food in their hair, was he? And he couldn't even say it would be the girls, because Rooney KNEW there were guys who were more in love with their hair than girls.
Including him
He had very little time to adjust to what was happening when Liv had him hauled behind a shield charm and...went straight ahead and did what she had been struggling to minutes before. W h a t ? Honestly, Rooney had no clue what was happening and that showed on his face when he was just staring at the Gryffindor by his side. But she had moved on to using magic to throw food, something which he did not stand for. He was going to grab and lob. In a moment.... Quote:

So first. "Protego." That one she could do easy enough. But now...
SPLAT! Potatoes right in her face.
Merlin's beard, whyyyy? She wasn't even READY.
The familiar voice shouting right after made her look in that direction.
"Junia!" Rula was grinning though, 'cause it was all in good fun.
And because she was totally going to get her back.
She grabbed a big handful of spaghetti and threw it right at her. Then for good measure, she also grabbed a handful of peas and threw it in another direction.
Now to try and get a shield up while she watched to see if either of her throws would hit. He wasn't sure if Liv's shield would hold up, and so he threw up his own beside it..soon joining it with "Fianto Duri" It didn't work the first time, so he threw up yet another of the two and eased into feeling prepared for what might happen now. Probably not very prepared, but he could pretend. "PEAS. 2 O'CLOCK." Now that, he wasn't prepared for, but his shield was. Their shields were. Thank goodness.
And just to retaliate, Rooney launched a dollop of mashed potato into the air and towards Rula.
Just for fun.
