It would be worse with her mom, probably, because her mom's never played Quidditch and would be even less understanding. Maybe she could tell her dad first and they could come up with some kind of plan. That would be best, most likely. Not telling her mom wasn't an option in Ellie's truthful mind.

Treyen didn't make any further comments on it. Which was a great relief. "Thank you." For understanding. Or, even if Ellie didn't really think of it in this way, thank you for letting her be right. It's safe to assume she'd have continued if he'd said anything more that contradicted the way she thought of it.

She shrugged. "I don't know. I just don't think I really had much to choose from." It wasn't exactly like there was a plethora of possibilities for her. All she could see herself being good at, and doing for many years after Hogwarts, was Quidditch. Nothing else interested her nearly enough to be taken outside of the classroom. "I mean, I'm positive I would have chosen Quidditch anyway, just...It would have been nice to have options." But unimportant because at the end of the day, she would have chosen Quidditch.

No need to laugh. Ellie was simply making sure she had her Aarons straight. There was that Aaron in Slytherin that graduated last term, after all. And there could be quite a few others. Treyen's Aaron, however, went to Luxembourg, apparently. At first, Ellie was jealous of this boy. He got to go to a school for Quidditch. How insanely lucky was he? She'd NEVER get to do that. Then, the realization of that set in. Aaron went to a Quidditch Academy!! "He plays?!" Yes, Treyen was very right, Ellie was certain she'd like this Aaron. Luxembourg Aaron.

She was still jealous.

He did know. And Ellie knew he knew. And now she felt a bit bad for urging him to get over it. It would probably take time, yeah? She didn't know why, he did have family that played on a daily basis and knew full well what to expect from a young age, but he knew. He was trying. That was all she could ask for. Also, maybe, that he didn't make too big a deal when she did get hurt. He can worry all he wanted, but it would make Ellie feel much better if he kept it to himself.

Ellie watched him take in what she'd said. A most forgiving smile played on her lips when he looked away. She hadn't meant it for him to be ashamed. More that she was afraid to ask, for fear of how she'd respond if she were asked herself. Which, actually, she was glad she didn't say any of those snarky, smart, witty, stupid answers. She quite liked the one she gave.

That smile grew along with Treyen's frame as he came closer. She couldn't believe she'd wanted to distance herself from him just a few minutes ago. How could she possibly have been that upset with him?

She broke the kiss, and slowly, cautiously, changed position to be more comfortable with Treyen. Something came to mind. "Since you did ask, though...." Ellie hesitated for a moment, wondering if it would be best to just drop it. But now she was too eager to know, and felt much less embarrassed by the question, since Treyen had been the brave one to go first, "Can I ask you the same?" It was true that Ellie had countless reasons for why she wanted to be with him. But she also had countless reasons why he shouldn't want to be with her.


Not really. It was something, but he didn't make any comments on that anymore, she will be disagreeing with him no matter what he said, so there was no point in keeping along with that discussion. They were both right in their own way, only Ellie had a much logical point to make, and he got it.

Logical within reason, that is.

At her thanks, he smiled. She didn't have to thank him, though, unless there was some unseen reason as to why she was saying it, because in his mind there was nothing he'd said to grant him that response. She'd been right, but that wasn't why she thanked him. Either way, he only smiled, no need to keep on commenting on who was right or wrong...or Quidditch injuries, yes? Yes, no more comments.

However, Quidditch was still on topic. Only a little different. And that was easier to understand, even if he didn't think that having many options was a necessary thing. He would've wanted to have only one, that didn't matter anymore, though. "You still have other options," maybe not options she liked, "but that doesn't truly matter. You'll only like one." Which was Quidditch. She could still go the shopkeeper way...but she'd say no to that since she has the option to focus on the sport she liked the most. End of story.

See? Ellie was choosing wisely because he was certain she was jealous of Aaron for attending that particular school. "Extraordinarily." Yes, Aaron was brilliant. Practice makes perfect. And that wasn't something Treyen focused on, because mostly he just missed his friend, not the Quidditch player.

Enough of the sport, yes?

After the kiss, he assumed they were going to study, right? And he would've assumed correctly if he hadn't asked what he did. Whatever it was, because she hadn't finish her sentence.

Oh. See? Delusional.

The Prefect shook his head a liiiittle bit in amusement, still holding a smile. "Actually, you can't." Because she was completely ridiculous in the first place for even thinking to ask that same question. "But I'll give you an answer even though you won't believe what I say." That was the hardest part of all, knowing that she didn't believe anything he says when it comes to her.

It appeared that his answer was going to be a very long one, right? "It's very simple yet complicated at the same time...," and it truly was, kind of like him, "...because I love you. But you already know that." Wink.

The same answer she gave him...with a minor difference.
