It used to terrify me, with the witches and all of the blood, but I grew to appreciate it... eventually." He laughed lightly and pushed a few rebellious curls from his forehead, glad to be able to make fun of his childish fears, for once.
He couldn't help but grin. "Tragic, really?" He simpered in a faux, playful manner. "Aw, dear Ellie, I'm touched." Theodore promptly snorted, bringing his left hand to cover his mouth. It was a bit too humorous to act like a proper prude. If only dear little Dumble knew about his predecessor, dapper Deus. "That would be great. I've never really had competition from people my own age before." He promptly took a mental note on that gobstone club. "That's excellent. Maybe it'll wean my friends off of pushing me to try-out for quidditch..." He couldn't help but shudder at that notion; heights frightened him.
GUH, he was making her pick a favorite?!
No, he obviously wasn't, but she was up for the challenge. Ellie tapped her toes on the bench and furrowed her eyebrows.
"I suppoooose... I would have to say Hamlet. It's dark, and scary. But for some reason it really fascinates me." She said, beaming a little. Ellie had always been such a nerd and a book worm. And now she had a book-worm buddy!
"And although Romeo and Juliet is good, it's just too... Lovey dovey. They're so romantic, it makes me sick." She said with a little laugh. Was that weird..?
Dear Ellie?
Touched? She couldn't help but snort slightly.
"Tragic indeed, dear Theo." Ellie said over dramatically, resting a hand on his shoulder in mock-comfort. She brightened up. And now she had a book-worm buddy AND a chess buddy!
"I look forward to it!" She told him with a smile. Ellie couldn't help but notice a small fear arise in his eyes as he spoke briefly of trying out for the quidditch team.
"I take it you aren't a quidditch fan?" She asked curiously.
