Since he was required to paint for class, Olly decided to put it to good use. He would decorate his dormitory. It would be pretty and he was sure his dorm mates would appreciate it. They better. And it was too bad if they didn't because he was doing it anyway. The only question now was what to paint. This actually mattered because it would be in his dorm and he would have to look at it every day so it had better be good.

"Figura snake," he said. He used his wand to trace the shape right off to the side of the door. It was fitting, right? Because Slytherin and all. "Colorvaria," he said. And he was focusing on green because still Slytherin. And it worked nicely and he liked it. What a nice painting to have by their door. He hoped the others would think it was nice too.

He turned and studied the rest of the room. Should he paint anything else? He went over to the wall next to his bed and pointed his wand. "Colorvaria." He was thinking about the bluest blue of the lake and thought the color the wall turned matched nicely. "Figura Fish." He traced fish after fish until the lake wall was filled with them. And one last spell so the artwork would be complete. "Animatae." The fish started to swim around on the wall. Perfect! He smiled to himself and headed back to the classroom.
