She was pleased to see that Matt had his sketchbook; she was actually quiet excited to see what he had been working on. Ellie noticed Matt eye her plate of brownies and she instantly remembered that they were still in her hand. "Oh! These are for you. For taking me to the hospital wing." And making sure I didn't die. She handed the plate out towards him. Sure, the house elves in the kitchen had done most of it, but Matt didn't need to know. At least not yet.
Ellie gestured to the space next to him. "Mind if I sit? I brought some paintings to show you." She said with a sheepish smile. She was a little nervous to show him all her work, in all honesty. Ellie really wasn't one to show off all she had done, in fear of being criticized or ridiculed. A silly fear, really.
When she handed him the plate, Matt took it and set it down on his other side for the moment; not immediately eating one was rather tempting but he wanted to focus on the conversation instead of the brownies. Though that was rather difficult at this point. "You're not late at all, I just got here and then Sophia decided to join me since I was off here by myself; well it appears we have the trifecta of houses here. Myself being a Slytherin, you're a Ravenclaw and Sophia is a Gryffindor; all we need is a Hufflepuff then it would be perfect." It would have been better if it was another dude to round out the little party since everything would be equal for once.
"Go right ahead, I'm quite intrigued to see what pieces you brought to show me; as you noticed, I did bring my sketchbook; there is one piece that I would love to show you since it's actually a painting." Grabbing his sketchbook, he opened it and flipped through the pieces until he found exactly what he was looking for. Handing the book to Ellie, he waited for her to make a comment on the piece. "I painted that last summer when the sun was almost down on the beach."

Hearing Matt talk about his cousin, all she could do was roll her eyes. She hated those kind of people. It drove her insane that someone in this modern day and age could be so obtuse. "That's really ironic." she said, smirking. "No one in my family is like that. Thank goodness." she said. The lion couldn't stand to have someone like that in her family. It would drive her crazy. "Where in America are you from?" she asked, randomly. She wasn't sure why that question just came to her, but it did.
When Sophia continued to speak, Matt turned his attention back to her since he didn't want to be rude in any way; it was rather amusing as she decided to comment on his cousin. Despite the fact that he did think that she was more than just a little odd, he never truly questioned her whole old school Slytherin behavior. "Ah well you're quite lucky, I deal with her every holiday; luckily last Christmas I managed to spend time back home since she had to go back to work. But unfortunately this summer, she'll be back to hang out around my house and even escort me around Diagon Alley since even though I'm 16; she still feels the need to treat me like a baby." Which wasn't something that he liked at all. "Oh, I'm from California; well Los Angeles to be specific, unlike people's beliefs.. it does rain there, the entire winter it rains." That myth seemed to amuse him plenty since he knew obviously that it wasn't true.
