After Pansy had told Oli that Percy was very likely gone for good, Oli gave up looking for the other. A few years ago and Oli wouldn't have cared about what time it was and would have gone straight to the pub to get drunk beyond redemption. As it was he decided to channel all the nervous energy he felt into something useful that would, if all went well, take his mind off thins. So he grabbed his coat and Comet and went to the workshop to work on another broom. Talking to Mr. Ollivander had helped a great deal and his brooms turned out pretty consistently now. They were no match for professionally made brooms, but they could fly reasonably fast and were well-balanced and pretty easy to control.
The broom-making was a hobby Oli really got into, just like he did into Quidditch and flying and working out. He had acquired as many books on the topic as he could and had taken notes during his conversations with Mr. Ollivander. It didn't even matter that so far no one had come to buy or commission a broom, just making them and working out the finer details of the process was enjoyable. Oli was also pretty sure that it helped him with his flying, which was pretty much the best thing that could happen to him.
So as soon as he'd reached the workshop Oli took off his coat, let Comet off the leash, and went to work on the broom he had started the day before.
