Oh, home. That was a good enough answer, though he probably would have chosen somewhere different. "Wouldn't you get bored of home?" Aha, so this was her last year. But she was a Beauxbatons girl, too? Or, formerly. "I like it better than Durmstrang, too," he added. He came to this conclusion only when he said it, but yeah.. it was true.
Merlin's beard, he thought he had been improving in talking to girls, and look at this! Failing. Completely. She turned on her heel and walked away and he panicked. "Wait, sorry!" Gahh! He fumbled a little before hustling after her and blocking her way. "Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean that. I was joshing you, you see. You're very pretty and you don't resemble a pig at all, aside from the pink overload." Right. He inhaled. "I'm Elliott."
Ella stood with her arms still crossed and her eyes still away from the boy's face. At least he apologized for calling her a freak, but he didn't exactly take back his words. So Ella was still a freak, apparently. "
Well, yes. You should be sorry." But she wasn't going to accept it just yet. Stupid boy.
"
Not at all." Because she wouldn't be in her actual house all day long, she'd most likely be with Aiden.
Siiiiiiiigh, Aiden... Oooh, he went to Durmstrang. Maybe that's why he was such a jerk. "
Then I guess this school is the best in the land." Because those were the three main magical schools, right? Ella should be proud that she was accepted here really. This was the school to so many legends.
She subconsciously tapped her foot on the floor to see if he would apologize. She waited, and waited, and... there we go. Ella looked up at him, with a small smirk playing on her lips. She was very pretty? Hmm, that was a good start. And she didn't resemble a pig. Okay, good. "
Apology accepted..." She paused and made a little 'err' noise, "
Elliott." She smiled when he finally introduced himself.
Ella sighed. She still didn't want to tell him her name. But she did so anyway. "
I'm Ella." Their names were quite similar. Obviously one was a boy's name and one was a girl's name.. but whatever.
