Adam gave Ellie a warm smile when she said impressive, clearly in awe of what he had just done. "Um...thanks," Adam said somewhat sheepishly. "I wasn't so sure if I was going to make things better or worse the first time I did it, but luckily it turned out alright." In all honesty Adam was amazed that more things didn't go wrong in his life since he often just tried spells on his own without really learning them. He was sure this carefree way of teaching magic to himself would probably come back to bite him in the rear end later on, but so far he had managed to keep all his limbs in tact.

When Ellie mentioned it being hard for Carter to choose Adam gave a little nod. "Yeah...I figure I'll try and practice some more between now and the next tryouts next year, and hopefully I'll do better then." Adam thought that he had picked up something from Ellie's demeanor that she would have placed him on her team, but perhaps that was Adam's wishful thinking. Or perhaps it was his legilimens that seemed to always be creepily spot on whenever he was around Ellie...and really just Ellie. Maybe her thoughts traveled on the right frequency or something for him to pick up...or maybe this was not some creepy sci-fi movie that muggles enjoyed watching...

"Of course I'll be there!" Adam said with an enthusiastic nod. "It isn't by chance against Gryffindor is it?" Adam really hoped not, because if that was the case he was going to have a hard time cheering for Ellie without getting death stares from the rest of the Gryffindors in the stand...not to mention it was a major faux pas to cheer against your own house team.
