She chuckled as Ace waved his hands around in a comedic manner. She smiled softly at him. His previous phrase must have simply been a slip. Olivia became quiet once more as she listened to Ace and then.....

Mel!!!! Olivia enjoyed seeing her greatly. She was grinning again before her smile faltered when she heard that Melbourne had clearly heard the comment that Ace had made to her. Had anyone else heard it... like a Professor then? Oh Merlin. She panicked silently as she didn't have nor could find the words to express her feelings. It was a big messy ball of bleh. Soon enough she was distracted by the name that Melbourne had called her. "Muffin?" repeated Olivia and then looked down to her plate, wondering if she had put a muffin on it. She hadn't seen muffins. Wait was Melbourne hitting on her? No, no. Maybe? Hah. No. Totally not, right? OH. And then it all clicked for the Gryffindor. "Earnest. You remember?!" She was touched. "Gotcha. Following." A quick thumbs up. "Thanks Mel. You look beautiful do but you always do," and now she was rambling. And then she noticed Melbourne had spell-o-tape! A goddess indeed!! Her friend was a goddess. She gave Mel a wink, trying to show that she saw the tape. Her eyes grew to be the size of tea cup saucers when she watched Melbourne and Ace interact. This was interesting... Then when Ace said Mel's full name, Olivia just stared... in awe. Wow! "Thats a long name! .... it's pretty, spunky, and strong though just like you!" she nodded. Mel was all three of those things. #slightgirlcrush #amiright?

And then Ace said that she looked great. A small smile tugged at her lips momentarily before she heard the next comment. He had to worry about fending off interested parties? She chuckled a little bit. "Don't worry, even if there were or are other interested parties, I wouldn't notice... " She wouldn't notice because one she was oblivious and two... "I've got my eye on someone already." oh Merlin. That.... er.. That wasn't supposed to be said a loud!!! She had been thinking it and it had just been blurted out.

Unfortunately Olivia didn't have a time turner to go back and take back those words (nor could she hide under the table- or wouldn't be able to sneakily do so) sooooo instead she took a loooooong sip of her drink. And then a spoonful of parfait to make her stop talking. "Besides I'd rather spend my time with you. You're fun!" Nice recovery, right? Another spoonful of parfait. Ahem.

Fortunately there was something to distract her. Professor Marchand had left the room in a rush. Was he alright? She bit her lip, hoping that her Head of House was okay and at least got to try the strawberry parfait. Not wanting to cause worry, she turned back and had another spoonful of parfait. Still delicious and a great choice.
