Oliver shook his head sadly. “Have you ever thought it might be because you let people walk all over you?” He asked her directly, raising his eyebrows. “You're a tough girl – I've seen you in action.” He smirked a little. “There's no reason why you should repress what you're feeling.” No.. cos it could end badly as Oliver knew all to well. He listened to her in silence as she spoke of blowing up the common room, though a flash of amusement crossed his features. A small snicker escaped him at the mental image of it - he wasn't making fun of Kay, it was just funny to think that she'd blown up the Huffie common room. hehe!

He grinned – he assumed Kay knew about his Captainship. “Thanks.” he replied and looked down at his shiny badge – yeah.. he was proud of himself over this. “Oh no..” He shook his head and smirked. “I am not showing my fear to her. This is just our secret, okay?” Hehe. He nodded. “Fair as in how?” He asked suspiciously. "You mean no foul play? Pffft.. as if.” He teased with a grin on his face.

He went quiet again as she spoke of her family. “Maan.. that must be hard to deal with.” He said with a shake of the head. “The not knowing, I mean.” He patted her arm not really knowing how to console her but gave her hand a small squeeze when she took his before letting go and nodding – yeah, he cared. “I think you'd be awesome at it, Kay.” He said genuinely. He laughed about his acting – he would love that but he could never really see it happening. “I need to go to that jobs fair thingy. See if the professionals can suggest something.” because in reality Oliver was clueless about what he wanted to do when he left school.

He watched the interaction between Kay and Rex with slight mocking humour in his green eyes. The guy was possessive – that was his problem. The fact that he actually thought Oliver was a threat was amusing to the Slytherin. “I'm not angry.” He replied to Kay after Dog!Boy had gone. “Just a bit irritated. I don't think he wants us to be friends, does he?” Nope – and Oliver just found that weird.
