One of Oliver's most favourite topics of conversation. “You're a fan, are you? What's your favourite track?” He nodded. Of course she could have a listen. He may even lend the music player to her for a while if she promised not to go nuts and smash it up after an Oliver induced rage. Heh.
“Oh I'll be terrified” He smirked and mock bit his nails in an anxious sort of way. “For a small lass, you are pretty scary when you lose your temper.” He grinned. Which... was actually quite a lot of the time in present company. He shook his head and laughed a little. “Look at you looking out for the opposition. You really are a badger deep down aren't you?” Deep down? Miranda was virtually ALL badger.. aside from the tiny bit of Slytherin that rose it's ugly head once in a while.
Stuff? Well that was great wasn't it? The the cover up of Quidditch was a blatant lie. Oliver was good at spotting lies being so good at telling them himself. But.. it was probably just as well. He didn't really want to know what she thought. What was he thinking about? Why did she have to turn the question around? “Er.. the same.” He replied. Great. For such a good liar that was pretty lame. “I was wondering how hard it would be to get a branch off the Whomping Willow.” He added. Better. “A thick bit of wood from that bad boy would make a fine Beater's bat.” hehe! Well.. it would!
“The end of the thing.” He repeated flatly with a smirk. “Ah well that clears that up perfectly. Thanks.” He said sarcastically and sat back in his seat. “But they don't eat, right? So what would they need a butt for?” heh.
He nodded. “Yep.” He had his own broom. “It's not the fastest. Just an old Firebolt but it serves it purpose for a beater where you need more control than speed.” Ah.. but Oliver loved that old broom and was saving to have it customised. “You have your own?” Surely as a Quidditch Captain she had her own broom.
He made a face. No Quidditch store. That sucked. Maybe QQS on Diagon Alley did deliveries... Check out Hogsmeade? He nodded, a little relieved at the thought of getting out from the confines of the Hogs Head. “Yeah.” He pulled on his hoodie rather hastily at the prospect of freedom. “I still owe you that chocolate after all.”
He had ALL their albums!? Gape. How the hell did he fit all the albums in
there!? She wanted to take it and shake the thing, to see if something rattled inside. Or...made noises, hehe.
"Oh, that's so cool!"
She smiled big.
"My dad always plays their songs..." At this her smile turned into a gentler one. Favorite song...gosh, that was hard.
"Um, I gotta go with... Blackbird? Or maybe... Help! Eh, I don't know...it's hard to choose... How about you??" Probably something rock...y-er. Eh.
Miranda chuckled and shook her head at Oliver's little mock fright. She sort of wished it would come back and bite him in the butt. Hehe!
Small lass? Meh!
He was the giant...eh, yeah fine. She just looked at him, one eyebrow slightly raised.
"Well...being small has taught me to be tougher..." Kind of. Giant people often overlooked you...
His next comment was actually heartwarming... These couple of days had somewhat made her doubt her Hufflepuffness, but apparently, she still was? Her cheeks flushed a little and she shrugged, taking a more bigger sip.
Drat. Miranda was a
really bad liar... well, it made sense since she wasn't fond of lies at all. But, she knew having to say some wee little untruths once in a while was necessary. Her worrying that he might be sensing something weird made her thumb nail get all destroyed between her teeth.
But as Oliver responded, her hand dropped and she stared at him.
"Really?" The Whomping Willow...ah-gain?
"Are you seriously thinking of mutilating a living tree for a bat?" Pffft. She narrowed her eyes... Unless he wasn't actually thinking about that?
Well, if he did decide to go after it, Miranda wouldn't stop him. She' - quote ''turn the other way'' - like he had said? Oh, who was she kidding...
But more soft laughing came out as they debated over an insects butt. Ha!
"They do eat!" Miranda put on a face that sort of said '
right?'.
"Or, you know...the larvae do." Er, yeah.
So he had his own brooom. Awesome! Ah, Firebolts, the good ones.
"That's cool." She nodded and smiled.
"Hmh!" She took a sip, then continued talking.
"I got a custom made one... I had sort of promised myself a broom for my fifth year...and then I got Captain..." Like,
that she still couldn't believe. And now she was broke...but, she didn't mind.
"Maybe they have Quidditch gloves in Gladrags." Not likely, but it wouldn't hurt to see. Her eyes grew wide as she saw the boy putting his hoodie back.
Whoa. Maybe he wanted to go back to the castle?
CHOCOLATE! Miranda chuckled.
"It's fine. But you could help me carry it..." HE HE!
"Don't you have a favorite wizard candy?" Cus if he was buying, she did NOT want to be in his debt.
Snort.
She took another sip of the free butterbeer, put it aside and got ready, standing up. Get the heck awat from this place.
