All excellent.
"Oh, thanks," she said, dropping her eyes to meet his. "It's no problem." Though, she totally was wondering where he was that day. She'd thought he might be there. But whatever..
She let him take the camera. It was no question why he'd want to see it. Cuz it was AWESOME. "Did you see the invitation? You had to dress up..." In hideous clothes. Ugh. "Were you there?" She was kind of presuming 'no', because he hadn't realized that she wasn't there. Unless it was one of those times when you just don't notice who's there and who's not. Completely understandable when everyone's in 'costume'. Again, ugh.
Then...why the tone? If it was a great camera...hey, wait a minute, she
didn't answer his question, did she?
"I didn't know you had one already." He was referring to the unmentioned camera from the past. And he said it as if he was
meant to know such a thing, which was slightly odd considering there were plenty of things he didn't know about Ellie for sure. Though, he knew the most important ones. Plural. Because she supported at least three teams.
"I suppose you got what you wanted, then, since you didn't exactly answer my question," his eyes were now on Ellie, and her prettiness, he still wanted to be a couple inches taller, though.
Why was it that Melanie chose him as Keeper, when there were other tall people on the team was beyond him. Even Ellie was taller than him. They weren't on the same team, though, but all the girls from the Hufflepuff team were. A very annoying fact.
"I knew you were going to get a spot, though, it was no surprise." Because she was an awesome player, no doubt. And he'd missed the game, BOTH games, because he overslept for the Hufflepuff one. Sigh. And he'd been the one excited about Quidditch being back.
And he was smiling again looking at the camera, then chuckled at her comment,
"And you don't like to dress up in costumes. Got it." He stated, raising an eyebrow. Fletcher's party had been living proof of that.
"Me? No, I didn't go, I don't like tea that way, I only enjoy it when...," his eyes were back on Ellie,
"...doing readings. Only then."
