Although he did want it to. But that was something entirely different to what he HAD to do now. He promised Miss Charlotte that he would try be nice to her friends so that she didn't think he was a bully anymore. Because he didn't WANT to be a bully. Sometimes it just happened.
Accidentally.
"It's not vandalism. It's art." Seeee? That was much better than telling him to go away! The Ravenclaw even extended a wooden spoon to the other boy for paint stirring reasons. "They're too plain. Professor Myers doesn't like plain." Had he BEEN at that Herbology lesson with the costume?!
That was a surprisingly civil answer and it did make Olly feel just a bit better. But he was still wary. He took a step closer. When Rooney offered him a wooden spoon Olly just looked at it for a moment before he committed to a decision and took the offered spoon. He selected a tub of paint and began stirring.
Olly stirred quietly for a moment as he thought. It was true that the white was too plain and should be a bite more colorful. It was also true that the plainness didn't seem to suit Professor Myers. And even if he hadn't specifically okayed the project - which Olly didn't know if he had - it was hard to imagine him being too upset about it. After a moment he began to stir another tub of paint.
"Okay," he said. His gaze flickered to Rooney for a brief second before resting on the pods.
"Did you have a plan?"
