If they beat the amazing Hufflepuff players, then that would be grounds for a party to be held until the wee hours of the morning. He was so happily exhausted that he wasn't acting himself and definitely not paying attention to where the soles of his leather shoes were falling.
Deciding he would head off to the boys' dormitories, he made his way toward the staircase before feeling something that didn't feel like carpet under his right foot. Stepping back, the blonde noticed that he had stepped on the fingers of a girl who had been lounging near the fireplace. Normally, Amadeus would have blamed the young brunette for placing herself such an idiotic position in the first place. However, because today was going extraordinarily well, Amadeus grimaced and offered his apologies. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry!" He appeared concerned, hoping he hadn't broken her fingers. "Are you alright?" In the back of his mind, he dearly hoped that he hadn't caused another injury to a student, again; only this time, off of the quidditch pitch.
Drifting off into her own thoughts, Ellie soaked up the heat of the fire. For being spring, it was still a little cold out. But that gave her an excuse to do this. Lay in front of the fire and steal all the warmth. She was completely and utterly exhausted and she thought about going upstairs to turn in. But she didn't feel like moving. Besides, she'd fallen asleep in front of the fire many times before, why not one more? So wrapped up in her conscious, she didn't hear the footsteps of an older boy walking across the floor...
"Guaaahh!" She wailed and her eyes shot open as she flung into a sitting position. HOLY sweet mother of Merlin, her fingers! Her fingers were broken! Ellie instinctively grabbed her fingers with her other hand which, of course, made them hurt even more.
"Deeear. GOD." She muttered under her breath, holding her hand out in front of her. That's when she noticed a tall blonde boy standing over her. Was she alright?
Was she alright?! "Oh, I'm just peachy, thank you!" She said loudly. She sounded a little bitter too.
Ellie sighed.
Calm down. It was an accident. She shook her head and composed herself.
"Sorry. I'm fine. I'm just... too afraid to bend my fingers at the moment." Who knows what might happen? All her bones and muscles in her cute little fingers could explode or something...!
