Haha oh yes beater was good. Seren winked at Ellie, "Beaters great... especially fo letting out your frustrations." Not that she condoned violence, of course she didn't. But it was a game after all, and it was go hard or go home, and if you couldn't handle it, then tough cookies.

Ooohh! They were her favourite team too! This was brilliant news!
"I've been an avid Harpies supporter since before I could walk!" she said excitedly. "You know my grandfather and I would go to see all of their games when I was younger. It was brilliant!"
Nia... well of course she had heard of her, promising player and all, but she had never met the young woman. "Oh did you know her well?" asked Seren excitedly... and then Ellie had asked about why she wasn't allowed to try out... oh well. now that was just sad.

Rolling her eyes and leaning back in her seat she smiled.
"My mother seems to think that quidditch is a male profession, and that women should not disgrace themselves by playing silly games... her words not mine." It had angered her at the time, and to a degree it still angered her today. But if it wasn't for getting her out of Quidditch then who knows where she would be today, perhaps she would never have studied Herbology, or become a teacher, and that would have been a shame. She thoroughly enjoyed it-- so far at least.

"Oh yes I heard," she remarked, poor boy, "but he's alright now isn't he?" . If he wasn't then he should probably check himself into Mungos.
"Well you have plenty of time to think about your future, theres really no need to rush. I didn't know what I wanted to do until after I sat my exams." Well aside from Quidditch, but that wasn't an option for her at the time-- not really.

Heh. Heheheh. Okay. Ellie won't argue anymore. Heheheh. She'll just grin and wiggle a bit in her seat. Heh.

"Mhm." There was a lot less pressure that came with Beater than with Seeker. And Ellie was just naturally good at it. WAS. Maybe she'd practice more with the Bludger over Summer. "The frustration bit's good for Jacob." He was an angry person...sometimes. "Or he just likes hurting people." Both seemed fitting.

Oh? So Bentley grew up with Quidditch? "That's awesome! I've been to a few of their games, too. They're good." Ellie liked to think they were much better with Nia on the team.

Nia. Ellie nodded. "Very well." Grin. "We still owl when she's not too busy." Actually, Ellie should see if Nia could take time to meet over the Summer. It had been FOREVER since she'd actually SEEN her beloved former Captain.

The girl bit her lip as Bentley explained why her mom wouldn't let her try out. "Oh. See, that's one of the reasons I like the Harpies. I love how they prove that Quidditch isn't a male-dominated sport." Which was super comforting. Ellie really wouldn't put it past her own mother to say the exact same thing as Bentley's. ...If Ellie hadn't had so many Harpies posters and photographs over the years. Helen Stone had come to accept girls playing Quidditch, but still didn't like it much.

James' accident...was scary. Even more scary that it had kept him away from the sport all season...all summer...and even now. "I suppose he is. He seems to be. But, he still can't play." Unfortunately. The team would be far more epic if he was on it. And maybe he'd have made up with Finn if they practiced together, what with all the sweaty, male bonding, adrenaline stuffs.

Thank you for saying that, Bentley. No, seriously. Ellie wasn't too keen on worrying about her future now. And the after exams part, was even better. So Treyen wouldn't have to worry, either...which, actually, he didn't seem to anymore. Only, Ellie wouldn't really want to sit through exams if she already knew she didn't need them.

Eh. She'd probably only take the ones she wanted to anyway.

"How'd you get into plants?" Just out of curiosity.
