Text Cut: Hahaha. Well as long as it brought about a laugh then I'll try not to be embarrassed about the mistake

Hah. What was he doing with his lips? Hahha. "I don't know, you Gryffindor's are fairly sneaky." Anyone could be sneaky, actually. Ellie would totally pass on any secrets that were given to her if it made the team better.
Grin. Very lovely question, Adam. "I've been playing since forever," she shrugged. Though, it seemed like a fond memory, even if she couldn't remember the day she'd gotten on a broom. "I had one of those toy broomsticks since I was really young." Probably since she could walk. "And then my dad, he played Quidditch here, and probably well before, as well. His dad played, too, see." It was a Stone thing, apparently. At least as far as the men in the family went.
And Ellie.
"So, once I could understand the rules, I've been playing with my dad, grandpa, and godfather in the backyard."
That was the long way of answering his question, she supposed. It was probably more information than he needed to know. But basically, it was instilled in her from a young age.
"What about you?" Being Muggleborn and all. "Did you just try it out your first term at school? Or second?"
Adam chuckled when Ellie commented that Gryffindors could be sneaky.
"I suppose everyone is sneaky about certain things in their lives," Adam said with a mischievous smile. He listened intently as Ellie explained how she got started in playing Quidditch. Ahh...so it was pretty much a family affair. *que Sly and the Family Stone song* hehe.
"That's awesome that your dad played here too! What spot did he play?" Adam asked, wondering if he was Captain too.
"It must be nice having so many family members that you play and practice with. Not to mention it sounds like they're all incredibly talented, so I am sure there's a lot to learn from them!" Adam said with a smile.
How did he get started with Quidditch?
"A friend dragged me to a game my second term my first year at magic school. He insisted that I would love the sport, and that beater would be my position since I liked playing tennis so much in the muggle world. Um...do you know what tennis is?" Adam asked, not sure if Ellie was familiar with muggle sports at all.
"Unfortunately I didn't stay at the school long enough for me to be able to try out the next time they were offering them, but I made sure to try out at the next team I went to. We actually did pretty well, and I had a great group of people I was playing with, but unfortunately we ended up moving again right in the middle of the term. I felt so terrible about having to abandon my teammates like that, that I decided not to try out for the team anymore. I'd occasionally play with people I met at my different schools, but that was about it." Adam had gotten slightly downtrodden by the end of his explanation. He did love being a beater and he was bummed that he had had to leave his teammates like that. Although Adam was happy to be at Hogwarts...if he hadn't come here he wouldn't have friends like Louisa or Ellie or Paulie or Adam, and he wouldn't have met his girlfriend Rubiey.
