After last term she didn't want to hear about anything bad occurring for a long long time or even better...not at all. Ah, well that explained why she was just standing there. "I see. That happens sometimes with things that happen, like last term. Even though things are better now we can't help but wonder about the 'what if's'. We just have to thankful that everyone made it back." Their recovers were most likely ongoing for them but everyone handled things differently.
"I'm quite alright, how are you? Keeping up with all your lessons?" She stepped away from the door a little so that she wasn't in the way of anyone entering the Great Hall or coming out of it.
Olivia nodded in agreement. She completely agreed with the older lady. What ifs were always something that would forever remain in her mind. "
Yes, that's true," she nodded in agreement with a small and somewhat unsure smile. She wasn't certain if things would be good this term but they couldn't get much worse than last term right? "
Hopefully we wont have any monsters this year," she chuckled, trying to make light of her previous thoughts.
"
Oh yes! Keeping up with most of them. I have one more assignment to finish for potions but I have four days until its due. Nothing has distracted me yet," she said with a happy smile. She wouldn't let these thoughts put her behind on her schoolwork. She had to continue to succeed no matter what. However, she should meet the new arrivals and spend some time getting to know them.
Also the arrival of the Illvermorny students was something else. "
How long will the students from Illvermorny be here for? Do you know, Professor?" she asked.
