Oliver pulled a face. Maybe that was a little too bold of him, but then Oliver had never been one to hold back what he wanted to say. He was just being honest. “I'm sorry.” He said softly. “I shouldn't have said that.” He gave her a weak smile and sighed. 'Motormouth strikes again – well done, dude.' “All I'm saying is be yourself, 'kay? No one is going to judge you for your opinions. They'll respect you... and if they don't then they're not worth your time.” Right? Right. But then not everyone was as thick skinned and as seemingly emotionally untouchable as Oliver was.

He shook his head. “I said I would listen if you wanted to talk.” Maybe that's all he should be doing. Listening and not giving his blunt opinion. Meh.. he just couldn't help himself could he? But he sensed that Kay wanted to move away from the subject and that was fine by him.

Ah.. Quidditch – a much nicer topic of conversation. “Quidditch will be fun. I can't wait to get up there on my broom.” He squinted up at the sky. He looked back at Kay when she said she was more herself. “It's sort of freeing isn't it? I know what you mean. If I was an animagus, I'd be a bird I think.” he grinned. Ah man, she shook his hand. He laughed warmly, highly amused by this and shook his head. “It's definitely a first.” hehe! “But it seals the deal. I go on another rampage and you're free to hex my nose off.” He winked. “Oh... and I get to return the favour if you ever go mental.” Grin. But that wasn't going to happen again, was it? Surely the chances of being Imperuised once in your life were small enough. “Yeah.. I wish we were allowed to fly around the grounds.” He nodded in agreement.

Oliver frowned but remained silent as Kay spoke of Rex. He didn't know what to make of the kid's behaviour. “...I could always talk to him.” He suggested and couldn't help a small smirk from curling up his lips. Yeah... Oliver could make the guy see sense. Heh heh.

He was about to say something else when another girl appeared whom Oliver assumed was a friend of Kay's at first. He clenched his jaw, obviously more than a little irritated when it appeared Rex had sent her to bother them. But.. it wasn't her fault, was it? “Hi Kay's cousin Ginny.” He smiled warmly at her and sort of waved. He looked away when the two girl's started whispering. Maybe he should just leave them to it...

He stood and brushed the grass and dirt from his robes. “Look. I'm going to head back to the castle, Kay.” No.. he didn't particularly want to go -he was enjoying chatting to Kay- but he didn't want to get riled up any more over Rex. Normally one to let things go over his head, Rex was starting to reh-heally grate on his nerves.
