"Do you have any travel tips? Are they any places that are must-sees?" He had heard great things about places with bloody histories, such as the Tower of London. They intrigued him, but terrified him, all the same. Blood and violence... EEK!
"That... thing is a landmark?" He rose an eyebrow with surprise. "Why... maybe I should reread Hogwarts, A History, because I remember nothing about a murderous tree that was adored by Hogwarts historians." He laughed, but his curiosity was peaked. Why would such a vicious plant be made a landmark? He doubted that many people would be angry if the tree was removed, if one could remove it without losing a limb or two, but it was no big matter.
For a quick moment, he had taken her seriously. So, Ellie wasn't just a smart girl, but a heroic one, too? She must have been quite the Gryffinclaw. But alas, at her admittance, he had to chortle along with her. "I hopw I'm not stuck in that situation. But knowing some of my friends that tend to be, erm..." He lowered his voice, glancing around for a moment fearfully, "clueless, I might have to save the day for them." He grimaced, hoping it would never come. But knowing some students such as Braeden Stonem and other silly Gryffindors, that day might come sooner than later.
Ah, yes the historical parts were probably the best part about London. Ellie sure enjoyed them anyway. She had a basic knowledge of the Kings and Queens of England, but growing up in the countryside of Ireland, where no muggle can set foot near... English history was something Ellie read about for fun. Ellie's eyes brightened.
"Well the Golden Globe theatre is a must-see, if you're in to theatre and the likes... Hmm, there's tons of museums and galleries." Ellie said with a shrug. And it was fun just walking the streets and eating random food.
Ellie laughed.
"Yes, actually! That tree has quite a historical background. You should check it out; it's quite interesting." And it kinda plays a part in why we're here at Hogwarts... She had to refrain from snorting.
"Well it's only murderous if you get close to it or agitate it." So, if he was smart, he would stay away. The first law of common knowledge: Don't do things that will kill you. Simple enough, yet some people still didn't understand that aspect...
A brief silence settled between the two of them for a moment before striking up a question of interest.
"Do you play Wizard's Chess at all?" Ellie wondered. It was always a favorite of hers, yet it seemed like she never got the chance to play over the years.
