Getting out more

[Olivia Havelock]

Oliva was enjoying her fourth year so far and what she was finding that she was spending a lot more time outside of the library which was a strange thing for her. Three years at Hogwarts and she had spent most of her free time with her head in one of various books in the library. As a result of this her social life left something to be desired but it was never something that really bothered her too much. Coming into fourth year she made the decision to make some changes, that led to her joining Heta Omega, something her sister found hilarious. It was ok for Victoria to play Quidditch but when she tried to do something to be social it was somehow comical and out of character.

In an effort to be more social and just generally get out more Olivia had taken to exploring the grounds a little more, something most first years did in their opening weeks. During this time she had come across the cliffs, an area technically off limits to students but the girl was so struck by the view that she didn't care that she was probably breaking the rules for the first time since she started at the school. Oliva made her way up to the cliffs once again after spending the morning in the library studying for Divination, something that was becoming one of her favourite subjects. Oliva removed her robe and bundled it up into a neatly folded makeshift pillow and rested her head on her so she could look up at the clouds, she laid herself down and smoothed out her skirt. It was a beautiful New Zealand day and she just wanted to enjoy some fresh air.

Being bored was not something that sat well with Finn Urie. It wasn't often that the fifth year was bored, Hogwarts had so much to offer, but today just happened to be a day, where the Gryffindor didn't feel like doing anything, but that drove him insane because he was so bored. The boy found himself stomping around the castle grounds, looking for something to do. And he spotted it. Nearing the cliffs, a Ravenclaw girl had made her robes into a pillow, and looked like she was about to enjoy some peace and tranquility. Not on Finn's watch! Over his holiday break, he had used the majority of his dung bombs, and he hadn't had a chance to restock, his mind had been preoccupied with buying the paint and balloons. Thankfully, he still had a dung bomb left with him. He sneaked around and hid behind a little shrub, near the girl, before he took the bomb out of his pocket and threw it at her, cackling as it released it's horrid smell.

Olivia really did think that she would be able to find some peace and quiet on the cliffs. It was a secluded area and one that was technically off limits, so surely no one would find her. Sadly she had been wrong, Olivia had been very wrong. She wasn't sure how long she had been laid down before she was so rudely interrupted, she heard the footsteps but didn't open her eyes until they were closer, too close. Then out of no where the air turned sour, Olivia bolted upright and looked around for the source of the smell, it wasn't something she smelt often but she knew the smell, someone had thrown a dungbomb at her. "What the hell who did that?" She yelled as she stood up and looked around, there was no one insight at first then she saw a mesh of hair sticking out from behind a bush. Olivia pulled out her wand, "Hey get out here or I'll hex you!" She yelled.

Finn couldn't help but laugh out loud at the Ravenclaw's response. He was never a good hider, as he was informed during the holidays, but it wasn't something he worried about. Finn enjoyed running away, or, if it was the girl he met in the break, getting caught. With another bark of laughter when the girl said she'd hex him, Finn stood up, holding his hands in surrender position. "Take it easy bird! No harm done!" He said as he approached her. "Come on, you gotta admit that livened up your day a little bit, right?"

Yelling about hexing people might have been an empty threat coming from Olivia, she wasn't sure she had it in her to actually cast a spell on soneone but she wouldn't let her demeanour betray her now. Her eyes widdened at his use of the word bird but she would pick her battles and that wasn't what she wanted to focus on. Liven up my day? Flowers, good conversation and an episode of friends liven up my days, a dung bomb is enough to put m off dinner, is that really supposed to he funny?" she asked her voice slightly raised. Olivia hated pranks, it was something she had in common with her sister. "I can honestly say, that didn't even brighten my day a little,"
