Oliver often spent time in the trophy room when he wanted to think and plan. Seeing all the past cups and plates that had been awarded to Gryffindor in past years and reading the names of the many quidditch greats that were engraved upon them for ever....it inspired him. Quidditch was more than just a game..it was about being a part of history. If he was honest, sometimes it scared him a little as well. If there was one thing that gave Oliver nightmares it was the thought of letting down his team......

Nix walked up the corridor with the golf ball hanging in the air in front of her, she had used a simple spell to make the ball float but of course she needed it to move around in front of her so she kept leaping up every few minutes as it bobble around. She walked past the trophy room and paused as she spotted the door was open, she flicked her wrist her arm out and grabbed the ball again and then slid it into her pocket and then pushed open the door open further and walked in to the room. "any one else in here or have the house elves left the door open?" she called out among the trophies as the golf ball tried to escape her pocket and she tapped her with her wand to make it sit still

Oliver had been absorbed in the contemplation of a new chaser formation and jumped when he heard someone call out "Oh..umm..yeah..I'm in here" He peered around a case to see who it was and spotted his seeker. "Oh..Nix" He gave her a smile "What are you up to?"

Nix heard a voice answer her vague shout and then a bead appeared round the side of one of cases near her and she spotted her qudditch captain and smiled ,"I was walking past and noticed an open door, I know the younger years like to sneak in her and look about and forget to go to classes so I was working with that in mind, what about yourself?" she asked and then felt a tug on her pocket again and rolled her eyes and took out her wand. "finite incantartum" she muttered and the golf ball dropped down in her pocket and she nodded and then looked up at her captain again

Oliver chuckled "Nice to know you look out for the younger ones. Me? Oh, I come in here to think. I'm trying to finish up next week's gameplan"

Nix tilted her head to one side a little and nodded ,"you and your tactics" she said with a grin and then she slid her wand in to her robe pocket and then walked past her captain and down the rows of trophy cases and then her eyes narrowed on one. It was small and bright sliver but she knew the name cut in to it ,she walked over to it and read the engraving on it ,"James "Jamie" Night, achieved full marks on his potions OWLs" she said in a bitter voice.

Oliver raised an eyebrow at her tone "Relative of yours?" Whoever it was, he gathered she wasn't their biggest fan.

Nix curled her hands in to fists and lpoked back over her sholder to Oliver ,"my older brother, bullied me everyday while I was here" she said and then pulled up the sleve on her robe to her sholder to show the many scars she had up her arm ,"some are from home and some are from school, but all are from my "family" as gifts" she said in a dark voice and then shook her head and let the robe sleve fall down her arm again

Oliver would have taken a step back if there hadn't been a cabinet stopping him. "Damn" He thought for a second "That's pretty rough Nix, Have you told Professor Mc.Gonagall?" Stuff like this made him feel more than a little awkward. His own family was very close so he didn't understand the violence and also, he didn't know Nix all that well and was surprised that she had told him.

Nix tilted her head to one side and her hair fell over her shoulders ,"and tell her what? My family used to beat me? I was kicked out of my home? My brother who's already left used to bully me?" she said with a sigh and then ran a hand through her messy red hair and messed it up even more before sliding it behind her ears ,"people never see it coming with me, I'm always too mad and happy to has a history like this" she said in a much weaker and smaller voice ."but I expect im depressing you, so I'll just be good and shut up now" she said sounding more like her normal self

"They kicked you out?" Oliver asked in horror, then quickly snapped his mouth closed, thinking that it probably wasn't the best idea to keep on with the subject. It was making him feel very awkward, but as her captain he did feel a certain responsibility towards her. "Umm..well, I suppose. But uhh..I think you should maybe talk to someone. Another girl. It's uhh..not good to..uhh...do you have any friends you feel you could talk to if you needed? Someone you trust?"

Nix gave a small laugh and twisted her head to look at Oliver ,"you know me from the pitch only, you should know from even that little amount of time around me that I'm not good at making and keeping friends" she said with a hard laugh before she took a few steps away from her brothers trophy and over towards Oliver. She hated being reminded she was related to her own family, people never saw how easy they had it with simple loving families, she knew her own family affairs weirded a lot of people out but that was just what nix did well, weird and freak people out so they didnt ever get close enough to her to see her other weaker side

Oliver was beyond uncomfortable by this point and although he felt a bit bad about leaving he also knew anyone on his team was tough. Anyway, he had a class in 20 minutes and he needed to go and collect his books. "Umm..okay. Whatever you say. Just...it's better, having someone to talk to sometimes you know? Why not Ange or Katie? They're both very nice." He swallowed and then thought it might seem like he was brushing her off "And uhh..well..Im here too, if you, you know..need me" He nodded to her and gave a smile before saying "I've got to run, potions next but holler if you want to talk and..see you at practice yeah?"

Nix nodded her head and then slipped her hand in to her school bag and took out her school time table and ran her finger down the page and then nodded and opened her school bag again and her time table back inside it and then looked up at Oliver and nodded her head ,"sure thing" she said a little half heartedly as she ran through the corridors she needed to to get to charms in her head
