Thinking about it, she had to admit the puppy might have a good idea, and after giving him the slightest nod she took a seat in her desk chair before returning her attention to the redheaded Ravenclaw. It seemed her words had made some sort of impact, though, because the sulking had subsided into concentration.

"True. Healer Moretti did say she was planning on writing to Professor Carlton. I can't say that would be that strange, either, as that's what friends who can't be together do. Stay in contact, that sort of thing," she said neutrally. She knew Ellie knew what letter was actually being discussed, but she also imagined the girl didn't have any idea as to how she would know about it. Not to mention the letter she herself was thinking about writing, although she'd decided to wait a bit. See if she could make any progress without it.

"I believe I said we were going to move the conversation here. Not necessarily that I was going to talk," she clarified, as the challenge was made. She wasn't about to defend her taking a job that had been available somewhat before she'd been offered it. But at least if Ellie wanted to explain herself, there was a somewhat quieter locale for it to happen in, instead of at the feast.

Friends wrote to each other? Well, yeah, no foolin'. Some professor Bishop was. Stating the obvious. Of course friends wrote to each other when they were apart. That's why Ellie was going to write to Nia and Reyn. Duh.

"I still don't know why you asked about a letter...." Did she care to explain herself at all? Or was she trying to confuse Ellie? That was just MEAN.

Evil lady.

Well...
If she wasn't going to talk... and with this being hours after the feast.... this was a bit awkward, yeah?
But Ellie wasn't about to make that obvious. Oh no, if she owned the floor, she was going to OWN it.

"Very well then. I believe I was talking at the feast, yeah?" Until Moretti went and intervened. HMPH. But, no matter, it was still her turn if they were 'continuing', yeah? Yeah.

So Ellie just went right ahead and spoke without giving much thought as to what she was saying, as if there hadn't been an extensive intermission of Moretti and the feast and the common room and sleeping and the waiting just now. Nope, none of that happened.

What were they talking about exactly? Other than replacing Reyn....Hmmmmm..... Eh, whatevs.

"You have no right to replace Reyn like that. Just strutting into the castle and taking his spot, acting smug, rearranging his office..." Ellie gestured around the room. POUT. Now, all of the sudden, she was sad again. And angry...gahhhh, they need to come up with a word for this emotion! Sangry...or...Aad...or...SOMETHING. "You didn't know him. You didn't know what he was like, or how he dressed, or what his most prized possession was or how tall he was, even! You just kicked him into the streets, didn't you? Just took the first chance you got to barge in?" Because Reyn SO could have come back. He could've. He could've convinced Ginger to let him continue teaching..or Ellie could herself. She was a ginger! They would have gotten along, she was sure! But nooooo, before Reyn even had the chance to change his mind, or Ginger to change hers, Bishop had come in as if she was wanted.... Which, Ellie felt, was a good point. "You think you're wanted here, don't you? Or needed? Well, I have news for you...Front page of the Daily Prophet says that WE," The whole school, obviously, "Don't need you. Nor do we want you. So you can magic this room back to the way Reyn had it, pack your bags, and go." HMPH.

At some point in that jumbled mess of words Ellie had gone from shouting to sobbing. Honestly, she was glad she decided on coming without Treyen. She didn't want him to see the state she was in. She didn't even want Bishop to see her. So when her speech was over, she pulled her feet up onto the chair, covering her face with her knees.

To think that a teacher she barely knew could make her break down like this...was pathetic to Ellie. But she knew it wasn't just Reyn....it was JD and Nia and probably even Becca from the year before, though she hardly knew her, and Carlton as well. Reyn was just easiest to be sad over, she supposed. More people knew him. More people would understand.

Except for Bishop, who didn't seem to understand at all.

SOB.
