"I am, I guess," Oliver admitted. He spent a great deal of him time training for Quidditch and running to keep up his physique over the summer when he didn't train with the team. Even if he could technically keep himself busy with mostly the same training as he did at home, Oliver liked the idea of having something new to try out. If he ever got home, maybe he could teach it to Kenzie, too. It made him incredibly proud to be seen as a role model by his kid sister, who strived to be like him and would always try out his hobbies.
Oliver had to think back to what Ava had said about 'simpler tasks' she had received because of her age and that that had been the reason why she'd been told to stay back during the fights. He could understand the logic behind it, of course. He would have wanted the same for his sister, even if she would have desperately wanted to be where she was needed most. It had been Oli's luck that Kenzie had been too young to be at Hogwarts at the time of the battle. To Oli though Ava did sound like she would have rather fought with the rest as well. "Okay, so you're good at archery as well?" He could picture that.
He completely missed that Ava chose to ignore what he'd said. He did agree with her. Obviously his family had flaws, but it was much harder for him to see those rather than all the things he loved and admired them for. "I only know them from the books in the library," he told her. Even from those he didn't know much, just the obvious stories people talked about. He didn't quite feel the need to ask her about the stories about her father Oliver had heard in his sixths year, back when the chamber of secrets had been opened. As long as they were welcome in the village Oliver suspected Fred and George had to think they were alright. "That does fit with what I know about their houses," Oli said with a smile. He did have another question though. "When you came to Hogwarts, did they already have the sorting hat?" He couldn't really remember the story about the hat, but he's always found the hat itself rather fascinating.
