Olympia sat at the Gryffindor table in the great hall, alone. She didn’t have very many friends in Gryffindor due to her appearance of being a Death Eater, and most people had already finished their meals. Being alone didn’t bother her, though. It gave her time to think. What was she going to do about Ryder? She couldn’t just hand over her friends, but she also couldn’t return to him with nothing. This was the most difficult place she had been in since she joined the order. She needed help, but there were very few people she could turn to. Olympia pushed her empty plate aside and continued to gaze off, lost in thought.

Ivan went to the Great Hall, looking for food. He instantly recongized Olympia, quickening his pace to sit down next across from her. Setting down his bag, he chuckled slightly. “How’s life in la-la-land?”

Olympia winced when he pushed the leather flavored bean into his mouth, but she couldn’t help but laugh at his comment. Feeling a bit braver, for Olympia at least, she grabbed an odd green one. She tossed it up in the air and caught it on her tongue. Within a millisecond, her face felt as green as the bean and she spit it out. “Asparagus!” she exclaimed, before reaching in for a second one to change the flavor on her tongue. She shoved a bright pink one in her mouth and visibly relaxed as she chewed. “Sorry, that was gross the way I spit it out,” she apologized with a sheepish grin. “Oh well, I’ve got candy floss now. I think I’ll stick with this for a while.”

“What, don’t like your vegetables?” He said with a laugh. “Don’t worry about it,” He chuckled. “I’d spit it out too. I guess it’s my turn though,” He sighed and reached for the box. “Any ideas for color of the bean? What’s your favorite color? Tell me, I’ll choose one that’s that color,” He smirked, peering through the box.

Orion arched one eyebrow, smirking. “ And you just happen to have a giant crush on her the entire castle knows about?’ He stated, deciding not to play around. Shovel talks were much funner than beating around the bush.

“That’s equally as true,” He said with a smile, trying to stifle the heat rising to his face. “And what’s the problem with that? Your sister is a fantastic girl. It should make sense that someone has an interest in her.”

Orion laughed, shrugging lightly. “ Well, personally I hate grass. Far too many bugs. “ He said, flicking an ant off his leg with a suppressed shudder. “ And your tower does have Olympia”. The second sentence was accompanied by a sly look and a raised eyebrow, daring him to deny it

“Oh yes, your sister,” He said with an equally sly smirk. “We’re in the same house yes, what else?”

Orion laughed slightly, sitting down next to him. “ True, after all, there are buzzkills in every group” He agreed, settling on the grass. “ I’m personally of the opinion that the beds are much more comfortable than the ground however”

Ivan laughed. “Pretentious much? Why can’t a man enjoy his piece of dirt and a nap in peace?” His tone was mildly joking, despite the fact that he couldn’t of been more serious. “Gryffindor Tower is much too far to walk from here.”

“Minding my own business, of course,” she said with a smirk crossing her lips. “Taking a nap on school grounds? Who knows how many rules you’re breaking,” Micah replied sarcastically.

“I never was much of a rule-follower,” Ivan said with a laugh. “It doesn’t take a genius to figure that one out. Aren’t you breaking a couple of rules?”

Orion stood above the other student, arching an eyebrow as he woke. “ I must say, you are quite lucky that I’m the one that found you” He stated, tilting his head in consideration. “ There are many others who would report you to gain favor for themselves”

Ivan turned over to see Orion towering over him, and simply but chuckled. “Then let them report me. I’m having a fantastic time here, there’s always got to be someone to ruin my fun, right?” He chuckled.

“I just said I wasn’t fond of surprises,” Olympia protested. However, she dipped her hand into the box. She pulled out an orange one and prepared herself for the worst, her nose and face scrunching up in disgust. She placed the bean on her tongue and immediately smiled. “Mango,” Olympia laughed. “I guess my luck isn’t horrendous after all!”

Ivan smiled at her laugh, deciding to try one for himself. “Here we go...” He selected a dark brown one, near black. “This could be several different things...” He quickly popped it into his mouth, chewing the odd-tasting jelly bean. “Leather... of all the things brown is, that is not bad in comparison,” he said with a chuckle. “Your turn.”

“Speaking of grass…” Olympia trailed off, pulling something out of her bag. When she turned to face him again, she was holding out a large box of Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans. “Want some? I tried a few earlier but I’m not keen about surprises. Grass was one of the better ones, believe it or not.”

Ivan laughed. “You’re offering me candy? Of course.” He gently grabbed it, and opened it and begun digging through. “I’ve never had the honor of having a grass-flavored one. But I have had some interesting ones.“ He searched through for a jelly bean. “You know what, you can have the first honors,” He said through a smirk.

“I was looking for Orion, but I guess you’ll have to do,” Olympia joked. She sat down next to him, setting her books by her feet. “I just needed to get out of the castle for a bit.”

Ivan nodded. “Care to sit down?” He flashed a smile, patting the ground next to him. “Nothing is quite fresher than grass, I’m afraid.” He smiled at his own joke.

Olympia had been wandering the grounds on a search for Orion. After a long time of searching she came across a figure in the grass, and curiosity got the best of her. She approached cautiously until she recognized Ivan. “Morning, Petrov” she said, her voice soft and airy as usual. “Quite an odd resting place you’ve got there.”

Ivan immediately sat up at the mere sound of her voice. “I don’t know, Stiger,” He said with a joking sneer. “What are you doing here?”

Micah had decided to go for a little walk outside the grounds. It was a nice day, and she enjoyed being outside. After a little bit of walking, she came across a boy she recognized. “Slacking off, I see, Petrov?” She gave him a smug smile as she crossed her arms, looking down on him. She was hoping for a civil encounter.

“Nothing out of the ordinary, Wolff,” He laughed, sitting up. “You know me. School hasn’t really been my thing,” He said with a laugh. “What are you doing here?”

Ivan opened his eyes, frightened to come to the realization that he had unintentionally taken a nap on the grounds, and feeling the absence of the setting sun beating down on him, began to get chills down his spine, as someone’s shadow cast over him.
