It was hard living with a sibling who was really good at school and being a student. He just naturally excelled. Sure, Olivia was proud of her brother but she still felt like she needed to prove herself. Professor Newton's words reminded her of her father's words to her when she was a child. Strengths and weaknesses. Heh. Sure. It just seemed like Simon had more strengths than she did. She would never complain about that though.. the very thought of complaining just seemed silly to her. "Yeah, I would ask him for help but I don't wish to disturb him." Or admit that she needed help. "I am working in a study group though."

Olivia nodded, remaining silent as she listened fo Professor Newton speak about Peeves and his potential feelings. It made sense to her too that he'd be torn. She wasn't one to comfortably go up and ask the Poltergeist how he was with everything... especially since her last encounter with him had earned her a broken wrist, bruises, and leeches stuck to her. Gah. She shivered at that thought. Whenever she thought of the situation, she could swear that she felt the leeches stuck on her neck. "I could see that. I overheard Miffy asking Peeves why he didn't pay attention to Storm," she added with a small frown.
