Before she even gave the classroom a glance, Ellie looked at their new professor, "I expect snacks," she said. Once she had looked around the classroom, she realized that that was totally unnecessary. There was cake. Multiple cakes.

And Jacob should be here any minute.

Smirk.

"I approve," she nodded to the professor. She approved of anyone who had the potential to force Jacob's insanity through. It was only a matter of time before he was sent away, and she liked anyone who was helping to speed that up.

Ellie continued farther into the classroom and read the board. Why exactly did they have to sit at their House tables? What kind of school unity was that? And WHOSE birthday was it?

So many questions. Already. She didn't have this problem with Welton.

Regardless, Ellie found a seat at a table donned with a blue tablecloth. Right.
