In a couple of days you'll feel better.” He smiled a little at the girl. “Where's the feisty young girl with all the fight in her who tried to hex my sorry butt last year gone?” A small chuckle escaped him and he shook his head. Joking about serious stuff was the Oliver way; it was his way of dealing.
He swallowed when the subject turned to Rex. If the kid had carried on in the same way towards Kay, Oliver may have done something that they both regretted. Pair of goats horns perhaps? – pEEEOOeow! Hehe. They would look good on that boy's head. “Good.” Oliver said and nodded. “Because no one should have to put up with being spoken to like that.” No one.
He looked at Kay, eyebrows raising and his expression incredulous. “Why on earth would I be mad at you?” He asked her. “I thought you were upset with me. I thought you'd brought Rex along as back up in case I tried to hex you.” And it hurt at the time but it seemed so silly in retrospect. “I said before I didn't want your apologies but if it makes you feel better then I'll accept it.” Eh... and now his turn. He prodded her lightly in the ribs and smiled. “I'm sorry. It must have hurt like hell. I wish you'd got me with one of those stunners then maybe I wouldn't have hurt you.” Or Miranda or Wesley or Sarah or anyone else. Damn Kay for having the aiming skillz of a Stormtrooper. Hehehe.
Kay giggled when Oliver touched her ribs. She hadn't laughed or giggled for that matter scent school had started.
"No, I really don't what to go home. I love it here." She said looking up at Oliver again. She sat up and felt a little better at Olivers words.
"That girl is still here. I just...just told my family I wouldn't fight any more. Well, you see how well that went. I don't know if I can do that. It's just not me." She said thinking she couldn't act that way on the Quidditch pitch. She get killed.
"As to Rex. I think he was just trying to keep me out of trouble. He knew of what my family wants." She said starting to feel more like herself again.
"He really is a very nice guy." She said but she didn't think Oliver was believing her. So she smiled and poked him back.
Rubbing her ribs, she giggled again. Hate being ticklish.
"As to my ribs, they are fine. It hurt like hell at the time, but that's how it goes." She said waving her hand at it. He didn't do it because he wanted to hurt her, Oliver was under a spell. Kay was the one not wanting to hurt anyone.
"Thank you for letting me say sorry. Thank you for saying sorry back." She said hoping that this would be a new start for them and maybe a friendship.
"As for the aiming? My Mum and Dad showed me. They were Aurors." She said standing up.
"So, are we good?" She said wiping the last of her tear off her face.
