Text Cut: No embarrassment necessary.

Ellie smirked. Too true, that was. Everyone had to have some little secret, yeah? Even if it wasn't secret to all.

Adam was right about that, as well. It WAS awesome that her dad played. And it WAS nice having so many people - her family - to play with. Ellie greatly appreciated that. Them. She never took her family for granted, and even thinking about them, and how she'd get to see them soon at Christmas, made her smile. "Dad was Keeper. For Gryffindor. It is nice. And they have taught me a lot." Grin.

Tennis? "Uhm...I might? Maybe just not by name..." Ellie was quite limited as far as Muggle sport knowledge went. Though, chances were she's seen it or something related to it during a visit with her cousins, but wouldn't be able to identify it.

"That's neat, though." It kind of always amazed her how those ignorant to magic adjusted and became so involved in their world. Like Vashti was incredible on the Pitch, and she was Muggleborn. It was also kind of funny how people would think that being born into a Wizard family gave you an advantage, and how untrue that really was. "But you'll be staying here a while. You should definitely join the team next term. In the meantime, I'd love to play with you." They'd already been through that conversation, but it was true.

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. Ellie smirked.
