'Motormouth strikes again – well done, dude.' “All I'm saying is be yourself, 'kay? No one is going to judge you for your opinions. They'll respect you... and if they don't then they're not worth your time.” Right? Right. But then not everyone was as thick skinned and as seemingly emotionally untouchable as Oliver was.
He shook his head. “I said I would listen if you wanted to talk.” Maybe that's all he should be doing. Listening and not giving his blunt opinion. Meh.. he just couldn't help himself could he? But he sensed that Kay wanted to move away from the subject and that was fine by him.
Ah.. Quidditch – a much nicer topic of conversation. “Quidditch will be fun. I can't wait to get up there on my broom.” He squinted up at the sky. He looked back at Kay when she said she was more herself. “It's sort of freeing isn't it? I know what you mean. If I was an animagus, I'd be a bird I think.” he grinned. Ah man, she shook his hand. He laughed warmly, highly amused by this and shook his head. “It's definitely a first.” hehe! “But it seals the deal. I go on another rampage and you're free to hex my nose off.” He winked. “Oh... and I get to return the favour if you ever go mental.” Grin. But that wasn't going to happen again, was it? Surely the chances of being Imperuised once in your life were small enough. “Yeah.. I wish we were allowed to fly around the grounds.” He nodded in agreement.
Oliver frowned but remained silent as Kay spoke of Rex. He didn't know what to make of the kid's behaviour. “...I could always talk to him.” He suggested and couldn't help a small smirk from curling up his lips. Yeah... Oliver could make the guy see sense. Heh heh.
He was about to say something else when another girl appeared whom Oliver assumed was a friend of Kay's at first. He clenched his jaw, obviously more than a little irritated when it appeared Rex had sent her to bother them. But.. it wasn't her fault, was it? “Hi Kay's cousin Ginny.” He smiled warmly at her and sort of waved. He looked away when the two girl's started whispering. Maybe he should just leave them to it...
He stood and brushed the grass and dirt from his robes. “Look. I'm going to head back to the castle, Kay.” No.. he didn't particularly want to go -he was enjoying chatting to Kay- but he didn't want to get riled up any more over Rex. Normally one to let things go over his head, Rex was starting to reh-heally grate on his nerves.
Looking at Oliver when he said sorry, she didn't understnd why.
"Why are you sorry. No need to be. Your right. I guess I wanted friends so bad that I get overly protective and well...end up fighting when I shouldn't. Then I..." She shouldn't be like that. She should just let people do what they wanted and not get into it.
"I do try to speak my mind and that's what starts the fight. Im not very good at talking to people." She said blushing a little. She really wasn't good at it.
"Thanks I think I need someone that will listen to me. Everyone else just wants me to listen, and not so much talk." She said wondering if Oliver really what to hear all her boowoo's. Maybe be older he was just trying to be nice to the little girl. God she felt so small next to him and a little stupid to.
"Do you really want to be put through all of this. This girl stuff?" She said thinking not all girl stuff.
"A bird? Really? Not something bigger like a dragon. That's what I would be. I love them. They so...free." She said looking back up into the sky.
"Quidditch is great. I don't see why everyone wouldn't want to play. I have wanted to be up there, flying...well forever." She said day dreaming a little.
"I didn't have friends that liked to play so my dad would play with me." She said smiling at the thought.
"Harry gave me my first snitch, but I'm not fast enough. But I try." She said smiling and laughing at the memory.
"No rules when we are help there. but friends on the ground?" She asked hoping he would say yes to it.
Thinking about Oliver talking to Rex made her feel better. Maybe Oliver could get Rex to understnad about the trust they should have.
"Really? I don't know. Maybe it would be good. I don't think he trust me and I don't know why." She said when Ginny walked over and sat by her.
'Why was this happening.' She whisper to Ginny and told Oliver who she was. Then Oliver was getting up.
'What NO!' She thought grabbing Oliver hand .
"PLEASE! Don't go. Please." She said feeling stupid again and she had grabbed Oliver. Looking at their hands Kay stood up to fast and fall into him.
'Oh god could this day get any worst.
"I am so sorry." Kay said not knowing what else to say. she just stood there stairing at Oliver hopping he wouldn't go. Why did people keep getting in the way of this....talk?
