She let a small laugh out. "Announcement thingy?" She smirked. "Well, I think the captians are supposed to post notices on the Common Room notice boards." She said shrugging. Oh yes, she'd check the board day and night, she would.
Awkward pause. She fingered the snake ring on her middle finger. Her mind was going blank again like it always did when she talked to Alex. Oh good, he thought of something. She smiled at the thought of the Leaky. But mostly because Alex remembered she'd stayed there. "Well, since we just got here, it just feels like a little road trip. But give me a month or two and I'll be missing it like crazy again." she smiled. She looked up at him. "You missing New York?" she asked. It must be hard being so far away from family.
Alex laughed shaking his head.
"Unsanitary? That's the only reason?" She was joking, funny girl. She was joking... Right? Or had she gone around biting people? Must have looked pretty funny
and extremely cute.
He waved one hand dismissively at her. Announcement thingy, announcement board same thing different names.
"You knew what I meant didn't you?" he chuckled with a wink. No need to notice his choice of words missy, they were almost never right. And when they were they usually were about things he knew everything about, like quidditch, pranking and girls. Although he didn't count Ellie as a girl. Merlin of course he counted her as a girl he counted her as The girl, capital T. But sometimes he didn't because... Well she was different and he had actually no clue whatsoever how he would act around her. And that wasn't normal for him.
"Then we'll have to keep an eye out." he smirked. Or both you know because he always looked at things with both eyes, why would he look at important things with just
one eye?! O.o It didn't make any sense, sometimes people were just freaky that did that. Sometimes his mind was really freaky like right then when he stood talking to Ellie. At least she wasn't a mind reader. Oh he would be sooo doomed if she was a mind reader. He wouldn't have any friends at all! *sniff*
"Perhaps we can sneak out sometime when the pitch is unoccopied and practise." he wiggled his eyebrows at her. Like in the middle of the night... How awesome would that be?! Dark yes, but awesome.
Ellie fingered on her ring and Alex ran a hand through her hair. Wait she only did that when she was nervous and feelings like that. So did that mean he made her as nervous as she made him? Nah probably not. She probably just did that because of the awkward silence that had erupted before he had time to pick a subject.
Faaaacepaaalm! Of course she didn't already missed it, the Feast was still going on she hadn't been away for that long. Way to go, Alex. You have now embarrassed yourself. Again. Cue applauds and mockings. Ugh.
"Ooh right." he chuckled scratching his neck.
"Then I'll ask again in a month then." he grinned. Mental note; A month from now ask Ellie about the Leaky. Done!
Huh, did he miss New York? One part of him screamed yes and wanted to lay down on the floor in misery and he other one said; "Huh, New York? What's that? Can you eat it? *omnom*" Alex thought for a while, which side would he show to Ellie? Hm, how about a little bit of both.
"I miss my family." he nodded. Yes he really did, there was no one to take care of his sister when he was away. Sure their parents but not a big brother. Whittle Jenna.
"And I miss the city sometimes..." Also true, Empire State Building etc.... *sigh*.
"But I don't think about it too much. I'm having too much fun right where I am talking to you." he winked. Also very true, he was such an honest boy *rewards him*.
"And at the moment I wouldn't have it any other way." At that moment he really wouldn't have it any other way, talking to any other person. He was talking to Ellie and he
loved liked that very much indeed. Another truth to wind it up. Good Slythie boy.

The First Year headed towards her table, eyeing the food speculatively. There was an unbelievable selection to choose from! She licked her lips as she noticed a platter of treacle tarts laid out on the table.
"Why did I even hesitate to come to this place?" she quietly laughed to herself as she took a seat on the bench.
Alex saw a
cute whittle first year sit down by the Ravenclaw table and he looked at her for a while. It wasn't the same firstie that had stolen his cake was it? *suspicious eyes* Deciding that it wasn't he smiled friendly at the girl.
"Hey there, welcome to Ravenclaw." Aaaalright so he was a Slytherin welcoming a first year Claw... Wasn't that the Prefect's job? Still couldn't hurt though. Unless the girl was afraid of Snakes... O_o
