I am not that vain, why would I care about what my teeth looked like?” He squinted at the boy. “You most certainly will not!” He snuck a peek at their teacher. He wouldn’t let children try to paint over him, would he? He suppose he could just leave the frame if anyone tried, but the damage they could do to his background!
“Defense Against the Dark Arts was my favorite, something that came in handy when I was fighting in the Great Goblin Rebellion.” Did that answer several questions at once? He was always efficient. “And because of that battle, wand legislation had to be written and revised.” That was important whether or not these children saw it that way, which he doubted given the silly questions they’ve asked.
Why was Blaise talking about repainting? That sounded a little rude. It also made Olly wonder if it was possible. Could they paint new clothes onto this guy? Or was the human in the painting permanently that way? Would painting over the portrait do anything to him or just the background? It was confusing but Olly didn't care enough to keep thinking about it.
Goblin Rebellion? That sounded cool. Olly was sure he'd heard about that before, but he didn't remember too many details. Maybe a few, because something with such an exciting title was not something he could really forget. But he had to ask a few more question for the assignment. No, just one more yeah?
"Did you go to Hogwarts?" Norah had asked earlier but Lucian had never actually answered that one, which Olly thought was kind of rude.
