Ellie smiled. She was? "I like this," she nodded. If Arya thought she was doing good, she might brave some more stuff. Like turning smoothly. Or jumping. That seemed most fun. And spinning!!
No Quidditch?! "Not even a leisurely game or something?" No Quidditch at all.... that was just unfathomable. About the horses, "Oh..." Totally didn't see that coming, "That sounds really cool." Truthfully it did. She liked horses.
"Oh..." She said again. "What muggle activities?" This was SO intriguing. Ellie only knew of a handful of muggle things from visits to her cousins'. She wrinkled her nose at Wizard Chess, "It's far too complicated for me. My grandmum gave me a set last year and I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. Especially when all the little guys start shouting at you." Maybe she'd be able to think clearly if she cast silencio on them or something... That was an idea.
"He works for the American Ministry of Magic." She was skating backwards now, almost lazily, throwing occasional glances over her shoulder.
Arya returned Ellie's smile with a grin, nodding in agreement.
"Its fun right? I've always liked skating." What didn't she like though? If Ellie knew Arya as well as her other friends did, the statement wouldn't surprise her one bit.
Turning so that she wouldn't crash into a passing student, she shook her head.
"No games at all, though I do enjoy flying. Just not Quidditch." It was too violent a sport for her, odd considering the other muggle sports she'd played.
"Its the best," better than flying in her opinion.
Shrugging her shoulders, she threw a small spin in before continuing skating backwards.
"Gymnastics, piano, board games, watching movies," she shrugged her shoulders again.
"You know...fun stuff that can be done indoors." Ellie did know didn't she? Arya wasn't sure, but if she listed every activity she did indoors they would be out here til the ice melted.
Her own nose wrinkled when the topic changed to wizard's chess.
"I agree. My dad's been trying to teach me forever with no luck. You should try learning it with a muggle board though, its much more boring." She didn't mind the yelling pieces, at least they proved entertaining. Muggle board sets just stood there.
