Olivia has a mostly pleasant conversation with her two-year crush, pleasant that is until he decides to bring up his ex-girlfriend and ask about her -the same ex-girlfriend who happens to be Livy's best friend, and who he is apparently still in love with. Oh boy.

In a fit of boredom, Oliva passes a note to the girl seated next to her, only to end up having an extremely short conversation with a Slytherin. It is not exactly a pleasant one, but it served it's purpose -she didn't fall asleep in class.

Livy and Pierre have a conversation that mostly revolves around the Valentines Ball, which Pierre adamantly refuses to go to and Livy attempts to convince him of otherwise, finally making him promise to "consider it".

A conversation that started with Olivia asking Pierre on whether he had any idea how to smuggle Lady into Hogwarts soon progresses to the Ball once more and, to her surprise, Livy suddenly finds herself with a date. Dominic's reasons for being over-protective are touched upon and the conversation ends with Livy feeling as close as ever to Pierre.

Olivia passes a note to a fellow teammate one day and they chatter amiably. By the end of the conversation, Livy finds herself agreeing to playing Quidditch with Carter - and Carter agrees to teach her how to play the guitar. Is this the start of something more? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Who knows?

Livy finally gets the guts to relay the message Danielle forced her to agree upon to Pierre, although she does it rather tactlessly and manages to make him angry, in turn upsetting her. After attempting to "beat him up" with Pooky, she storms back to the dormitory.

After fighting with Pierre, Olivia finds herself being cheered up by a certain Carter Burke, who begins teaching her how to play the guitar and shows her some of his lyrics.

Olivia is feeling incredibly nervous seeing as it's Valentines Day (although it feels more like Judgment Day to her) and she will have to apologise to Pierre tonight, and so seeks out one of close friends, Belle. She finds her at the top of the Astronomy tower and the two friends talk briefly before Belle hurries off when she realises she has to get ready, Olivia realising the same. Livy leaves the Astronomy Tower feeling a little better - but only a little.

Finally, the event Livy has been dreading - and anticipating: The Valentine Ball. All in all, things went smoothly. Livy and Pierre made up (after he ditched her and ate out of a girl's hand, that is) and everything was fine and dandy until Wynter showed up, claiming to be his lover (although he heatedly denied it). Wynter leaves after a parting shot of "shame, but you two would make SUCH a good couple" (or something along those lines) when she was told that Pierre and Olivia weren't together. Still, nothing could really ruin the ball for Livy - after all, she did get Pierre to dance (a little)!

After Pierre ditches her for a while at the dance, Olivia drifts off to stand near a wall and, feeling lonely and a bit like a wallflower, she impatiently waits for Pierre's return - until she is joined by Carter, that is. They talk amiably for a while, but eventually Carter has to go back to his date - leaving Livy feeling a lot better, admittedly.

It's her birthday, but Olivia isn't as happy as she should be - her father had written to her and, stupidly, she had told Dom about it. Now Dom's mad at her and she can't go to bed, so what does she do? Why, decide to crawl into his bed, of course! Only, it's not Dom's bed she crawls into...

After meeting up with her father and finding out that he was a complete "arsehole", Olivia stumbled into the Hog's Head in order to escape the rain and, somehow, ends up being forced to sit at Evan Rosier's table. He ends up getting her drunk and, because she is completely smashed and therefore has no control what-so-ever on her tongue, she ends up telling him everything - about her father, her brother and Pierre. He ends up taking her back to the Slytherin common room when she passes out and, the next morning, Olivia wakes up to find herself in his bed with a pounding headache and no recollection of how she ended up there - at first. And then, when she remembers, she proceeds to freak out for an entirely different reason - she could not possibly be seen as "another knotch on Rosier's bedpost" after all! Somehow, Rosier manages to convince her to pretend to be his girlfriend. Nothing good could come of this, right? Most definitely.

Knowing that her brother was going to do something very stupid (namely, fight Evan), Livy passes Pierre a note, all but begging him to stop her brother, but is surprised when, not only does he refuse, but he calls her stupid for even being with Evan. They have a small argument, but end the conversation before things could get too heated, leaving Livy quite annoyed and a little concerned about how...quiet Pierre seemed.

Feeling immensely annoyed with Pierre, Olivia recklessly decides to speak to Jenna, the girl she had seen at the ball whose hand Pierre had eaten out of, to warn her of the fact that Pierre can sometimes be a "really stubborn douche". Although she started off (Sort-of) insulting Pierre, Olivia ends up convincing Jenna to make up to him.

Because she's just stupid and noble like that.

Deciding to take the cowards way out, Livy ends up breaking up with Evan through a note - but that's not all that happens, of course. Being him, Rosier just had to get in one more jab and, after their conversation, Olivia begins questioning her own personality - is she really as overly-dependent as Evan claims her to be?

Feeling bored during class, Olivia passes a note to her friend, Gabby, and they end up catching up seeing as they hadn't talked for a while. They speak of random things, including clothes, and end up making a plan to go shopping that very weekend. Olivia leaves the classroom realising just how important friends are.

In which two old friends have a...well, friendly chat.

[olivia]

In which Pierre and Olivia go through a range of topics - and emotions. Olivia begins by apologising to Pierre for being an idiot, and then asks if he thinks she's "overly dependent", she flips out a little when he confirms it, and then once things calm down once more she ends up flirting with him (without really meaning to, honestly!) before another argument ensues when Olivia -stupidly- brings up Jenna. Thankfully, they end their talk on relatively good terms - she hopes.

Olivia received a friendly note from her team-and-housemate, Jacob Edwards, telling her possible reasons for why she looks half-dead and she responds playfully and they chat briefly before she finally realises this is the perfect opportunity to cross off one of the things in her to-do list. And so, after asking a rather stupid question ("do you know sign language?" ha. ha), she finally managed to get out her inquiry without too much difficulty and, to her delight, he agrees. They plan to meet up after Quidditch practice the following Saturday.

Olivia and Jake meet up after Quidditch practice for their signing lesson. Having already made up her mind to ask him out, Olivia agonized over how to say it and whether she should even say it or not for quite some time. Unbeknown to her, Jake reads her mind and decides to beat her to the punch. Completely bowled over, Olivia - of course - accepts and they set up a date for the week after. Step one to independence? Check!

Knowing that Marlene is one of the most confident 'out there' girl in Hogwarts, Olivia asks her for advice on how to "put herself out there" more, and then asks how it's possible to get over someone you've been in love with for two years. Surprisingly enough, Marlene offers brilliant advice which Olivia immediately takes to heart. She only hopes it will actually work.

It seems as though both Olivier's have the powers of persuasion, because after a short note - and a brief actual talk - with Emery, Olivia finds herself agreeing to keep a secret from her best friend. This cannot end well.

Olivia has a short conversation with a certain Jackie Fontaine - otherwise known as, Emery Olivier's girlfriend. The same one that he's keeping a secret from his sister. During the conversation, Olivia finds out that Jackie is a perfectly nice person and vows to "kick Emery's butt" if he hurts her. Because that just wouldn't be fair to hurt such a nice person, right?

Pierre catches Olivia after Quidditch practice to ask her a favor: if she could, please, help him train for try-outs. Of course, Olivia immediately accepts and they practice for a while before she realizes that she had forgotten all about a Transfiguration essay. Ever the good samaritan, Pierre offers to help her out - no fool she if she denies him! And so they headed off to the kitchen for a snack after Livy dropped by to get her things. It was perfectly normal for a while...until Pierre decided to doze off. And then Livy did the stupidest, most reckless thing she has ever done in...a while.

She kissed him.

A friendly conversation between two best friends ensues when Olivia decides that she hasn't talked to J in "too long". They discuss many things, among which are: homework, Pierre and prospective future girlfriends for J.

Jesse, an average friend of hers, passes a note to Olivia asking for the other day's notes. Happy enough to oblige, Olivia passed them along and they got to talking. Olivia offered her condolences at his most recent break-up with his girlfriend, Harper and soon their chat turns to less sad waters as they discuss what they are going to do that summer.

In which Jenna tells Olivia that she and Pierre have finally made up and, in return, Olivia informs Jenna about her date with Jake, her brother. In the end, Livy agrees to help Jenna get Pierre to ask her out. Why? Because she's a masochist, obviously.

Or because she likes Jenna. Either or.

[olivia]

Belle passes Olivia a note, telling her she "needs her help". Olivia is immediately concerned, asking what's wrong and finds out that Belle's parents have been upsetting her. She immediately suggests that they have a "girl's night" where they can pig out on sweets and Belle can pour her heart out...or that's what Livy thinks, anyway.

Basically, a friendly enough conversation between two new friends starts when Livy passes a note to Jackie asking about instructions in her most-hated subject: potions.

In desperate need of sugar, Livy passes a note to seventh year Hufflepuff, Arthur McAlly, all but begging him for sweets. Luckily, he had chocolate on him and handed it over without giving her any trouble. They chatted pleasantly for a while and Arthur ended up telling her about his conundrum with his best friend. Although the situation was much too close for comfort to her own with Pierre, Olivia managed to give him good enough advice, and wished him and Brielle the best. She could only hope that this ended well for the both of them.

When Olivia met up with Belle during the Hogsmeade week-end, it was to find out some extremely shocking things about her and her family. Helplessly, she could only watch as Belle became drunk, and the only thing she was able to do was take her back to her dormitory and stay up until the next morning to make sure she would be all right. Basically: be a good friend.

Quidditch practice in which Olivia's cheeks almost turn permanently red. Interesting? You know it.

Once again, Livy finds herself in need of sugar and so, once more, chucks a note towards a complete stranger who had been sneakily eating M&Ms (one of her favorite type of muggle sweet) asking for some. After completely embarrassing/humiliating herself (as per usual), Livy ends up with her sweets - after promising him a favor. What did everyone say? Don't trust a Slytherin? Too late now, no?

In which Livy and "Teddy" catch up during a Muggle Studies lesson. Livy ends up telling him about her father, and how worried she is that he doesn't love her anymore. Like the good friend he is, Teddy soothes her worries and, by the end of their conversation, Livy is pretty much back to her happy self. Pretty much.

It seems as if Marls has become a bit of a role model for little Livy, since she can't seem to stop admiring her. Not only that, but she's taking advice from the older girl, too! Strange? Indeed.

When visiting Emery in the hospital wing, Olivia finds out that he and Jackie broke up. Why? Because the idiot, Emery, told Jackie that he was betrothed and, apparently, asked her to marry him in the most callous way possible. Olivia has to do everything herself, apparently!

A mostly pleasant conversation between Jackie and Olivia mostly revolves around Emery and the fact that Jackie does not love him. It ends with Olivia asking Jackie to go out with her next Hogsmeade week-end. She promises not to mention Emery ever again - but that doesn't mean she can't set them up, right?

With Emery agreeing to go with her to Hogsmeade as well, Plan: Get Emery and Jackie together is on the go.

[olivia]

Olivia and Jackie have an extremely pleasant day out in Hogsmeade...that is, until Emery decides to show up against all odds. Although she feels incredibly guilty, Olivia decides that the damage is already done and quickly makes an excuse to leave, inwardly praying that Emery does not mess up - again

Jackie gives Olivia her address in France, so that she would be able to come visit her. Olivia is reassured that no, Jackie isn't mad at her for what she's done. Olivia promises not to meddle anymore...we'll see how long that lasts.

Emery is devastated, and Olivia feels horrible. She recalls her promise to Jackie and is torn between helping him and keeping that promise - and ends up breaking it by giving him her address in France. She can only hope that this ends well.

In which Olivia catches up with her old friend, Lucas Juarez. They end up agreeing to meet up on the Quidditch pitch that week-end - apparently, Lukey has a "secret" he needs to tell her. Hmm, wonder what that's about.

The secret's finally out: one of her closest friends, Lucas Juarez is gay. Olivia is shocked, but more insulted that he waited all this time to tell her about it. She has no idea why he had been so worried anyway; now she has another friend to gush to about hot guys and what-not. Not that she did that on a daily basis, but ya know. Still good to know.

Gryffindors win the Qudiditch Cup! But that's not the only thing that's exciting: Jake kisses Olivia and they finally become a couple.

About darn time, in her humble opinion.

It seems as if Pierre and Olivia really are incapable of going five minutes without arguing. This time? It's about his nick-name. And for once, Olivia does not apologize. Because, honestly? She's getting just a little tired of always been the one who has to fix things.

For once, Pierre makes the first step and attempts to apologize - rather crappily, in Olivia's opinion, but he apologizes all the same. Of course, there's an ulterior motive: he wants to talk about Dani, and how confusing she's being. Even though she feels slightly used (well, wouldn't you?), Olivia does her best in trying to help out Pierre. At least they end things on good terms...right?

Sometimes, Olivia hates being noble. Still doesn't stop her from agreeing to set Jenna up with Pierre.

Yeah, she really is that stupid noble.

Seeing that he looks down, Olivia decides to start a conversation with Caradoc to find out what's got him down. Of course, he refuses to tell her anything, but with enough nagging from her, he finally relents. In the end, Olivia has a new friend - and plans for the summer with said new friend.

Sirius' eighteen birthday party, organized beautifully - of course - by Marlene McKinnon is a great success. Once again - of course.

There's an attack on Hogsmeade, and Livy is smack dab in the middle of it along with almost everyone else. What should have been a great, relaxing day becomes absolutely chaotic. Olivia almost loses her life when she attempts to save someone she hardly knows, but is rescued by Jackie and finds her attempts at being a hero failing when the boy is killed before her very eyes. That sort-of thing can really get to a person, it really can. Suffice it to say that Olivia would probably never be quite the same again.

Unable to handle the guilt anymore, Olivia turns to the one person who has always been there for her, through thick and thin: Heath Mortimer. He has always been the go-to person whenever she needed to get anything off her chest, or even just to talk. And talk she did. And, of course, she ends up feeling better. She doesn't know how he does it, but something about Heath always manages to make her feel better and it is at that moment that Olivia realizes that she has no idea what she would do without him, and thus makes him promise never to leave her again.

Because she honestly can't live without him.

[olivia]

An excited Olivia runs into a not-so-enthusiastic Caradoc at King's cross station. He introduces her to his parents, and then she does the same when she finds her family. The two families chat briefly - but pleasantly - and Olivia promises to come visit during the holidays before leaving with her family to finally begin her summer.
