ANDSHECOULDDOMAGICNOW!!!
That was never going to stop being exciting!

NO. Ellie's stomach twisted as his face fell. She knew why. She KNEW he wouldn't like it. But it had a LOT to do with why she was so excited about this. And, seriously, couldn't he just pretend to not hate one of her favorite people just this once?
So ELLIE decided to ignore it. He was NOT going to ruin her birthday due to unjustifiable ill feelings. She decided to focus instead, on the Dallin part. Though, she most likely missed the underlying reason he brought it up. "Really?! Does that mean you can do one?!" Could he show her?!
She giggled again when Treyen pushed her down. "You're still taller when I'm on my toes," she pointed out, weakly fighting his pressure to stand on her toes again. To prove her point, of course. Giggle
Seriously. Very mature for a Witch that is suddenly of age. Very.
And...he noticed, because something faltered in her. He
should have pretended not to listen to what she'd said about
Jared, the thing that annoyed him the most was the nickname, really. 'Little Professor' was more suitable for that Mr. Spenser who came last term and taught them about dueling. Now,
he was a little Professor. Even if he wasn't a Professor at all. And now he was rambling on his head. Nice.
In all fairness, Ellie knew this. She knew that Treyen had irreconcilable differences with the former Charms instructor, so...why bring him up? It often seemed like she did it on purpose. Bring
him and their summers together up.
It's not that he was jealous. Nope. Not at all. Maybe a little. No one knows.
Well, he could
pretend that part of the conversation never happened AND focus on the Dallin bit for now. Though, he wasn't exactly sure he wanted to bring that up either. Treyen didn't know if he should just say how incredibly amazing it felt to see one's Patronus or...just keep quiet about it?
"He can do it too. It was...incredible." Dallin, yes, focus on Dallin.
AND...he was smiling again. Really, he was only taller for...what? Three inches? That wasn't much.
"And I like that." There was no denying he did. For the majority of his Hogwarts years he'd been the short one, he was only enjoying that wasn't happening anymore.
OH! He forgot! Well,
he didn't forget, but she made him forget about...,
"I...got you something, by the way." Mmmhmm. For her birthday. But...her blue eyes sidetracked him again and he didn't search for the little box. Silly Lockhart.
