Oliver was not one for wasting time. As soon as he'd woken up and eaten breakfast, he was out the doors of the castle. The cool fall weather was still nice, and he hoped it wouldn't get cold too quickly. He didn't necessarily mind the cold, but warmer weather was more pleasant for exploring the grounds. That was exactly his plans for the day. He would become an expert on all things Hogwarts as soon as possible.

Crunch. Crunch. Hehe. There weren't too many leaves on the ground yet, but Oliver made sure to step on all of them. In a week or so, when most of the leaves had fallen, it would be a nice place to make a giant leaf pile. He made a mental note to talk to Ellery about it later. As soon as he saw her. He was paying so much attention to his mission of stepping on every single leaf that he wasn't paying attention to what was actually in front of him. He very nearly ran into the girl in front of him. Oops.

"Hello." She looked a little bit distracted, so it was possible that she hadn't noticed how close he'd come to running into her. "Have you ever tried to climb that tree?" He gestured to the tree closest to them, the biggest one on the grounds. It was huge, and looked like it would be very fun to climb.
