"Thank you." he said to Elie when she decided to strike a nicer tone.

Was that it, Jacob thought for a second. "Your an awesome Keeper, Keep up the good work." Get it... KEEP up the good work... KEEPER. What else did she expect Jacob to say... he then looked to deus, and back to Elie... What exactly did she expect him to say to her, here have my captains badge? Silly Willy

Jacob then turned back to Deus. Vile people? Vile Things? That wasn't nearly good enough. Exactly why Jacob would have been able to avoid the last bludger if he really tried. "No... I don't want you to use that." he said plainly. "Think harder... think of specificly one, or two people, that you hate. Take everything you hate about them, everything about them that really drives you mad... and condesne that into one thought. All that in one bludger... and do to that bludger what you'd want to do to their heads." thats why Jacob loved being beater... he didn't have to take his anger out on people. He could take it out on the bludger, and just think of that person. "Now who that one person that really sends you up the wall." unless of course he didn't want to tell Jacob, which Jacob would completely understand.
