Olivia blinked several times. She hadn't ever seen Professor Wayland in that light before. Merlin. She'd have to take another look at him. At the mention of Hirsch, Olivia just nodded several time. Hogwarts hottie. "It's unfair. It's like he was photoshopped or something..." She paused. Merlin. What if he had abs too? Ugh. Also Professor Marchand was also quite handsome himself but they were allll way too old for Olivia. Sure, she thought they were attractive and all but she'd never consider. She laughed at the last part. "It must be a hiring requirement for Hogwarts that potential professors have to be very, very attractive," whispered Olivia with a wink. "Healer Reed is.... something." A joy to look at perhaps? That'd work. No words to describe him other than that. "Mr. Kennedy is also very nice on the eyes."

"A PROFESSOR?" repeated Olivia, a little too loudly with eyes widened. MERLIN'S BEARD. WHAT WAS... WHAT WAS NOELLE THINKING? She paused as she was in shock. IN SHOCK. NOELLE! AHH! One she had gotten over the preliminary shock, she began planning the best course of action. Now who would dance with her...? Olivia was never one to back down from a challenge. "Do staff members like Mr. Kennedy or Healer Reed count?" she asked with a curious grin. At the mention of dancing together and stepping on toes, Olivia simply grinned at her friend. "I opted for boots. I'd surely die with heels on and I'm sure Healer Reed would suggest that I wear something more sensible," she said before pausing when she heard that the guy that Noelle liked didn't go here. Aw no.... "I'm sorry," she said with a frown. That was bad luck.

Now to Kirk and Melbourne! Olivia nodded, agreeing to everything Noelle had said. "You both look wonderful!" she said with the biggest of grins and then winked at Melbourne (because her date was HOT- well her friend date or date date... She didn't really know nor want to assume either way... just in case).

She turned to glance around the room and caught sight of Lachlan Wheeler watching the crowd. He looked very nice as usual. Seeing him, she tried to catch his eye with a quick wave and a grin. It was always good to see a new friend. She'd have to go say hi to him later during the evening.
