Text Cut: Ellie ^^

A smile graced his face. The little girl was fine. It made him happy somehow, even if he hadn't cared about the girl that much. Perhaps he'd been too busy being upset with Vindictus to be actually concerned about anyone else, especially someone else from another House.

He did tell Keefer and Alec to leave him alone yesterday, and one of them was a close friend. So, yeah, that was probably it.

And his smile could only get wider now, "He did." Well, the smile didn't get as wide as anyone thought, it was Vindictus they were talking about, and Treyen was still sliiiightly ~~very~~ upset with him. It doesn't get to the WWW category, because the Head Boy still has some respect for old Vindi. He thought of Simon and the time he lost all those points for giving the man a walking stick.

Good times, yet not that good when they happened.

Yes, exactly, know but not believe. He supposed that very good boyfriends didn't fight as often with their girlfriends. Granted, they were more like arguments than actual fights, but still. "Exactly." She got it right.

Considering his ice cream was no longer ice cream but some sort of chocolate milkshake, he let it go. And did not fail to notice that Ellie was taking forever to answer his question. That's when he realized that whatever was bothering her was extremely important. Or she would've shared it right away.

Treyen was right.

It surprised him that she was thinking about the 'after-Hogwarts' part of her life, truth be told, especially since she wasn't much of a planner, but last year they'd said that she might go into Professional Quidditch, and whilst Treyen wasn't particularly fond of it, he knew that that's what she wanted. For whatever reason she was having trouble seeing it happening. And why? Just because Alec won yesterday? Did she realize how close she'd been to getting that Snitch? Since his focus had been on her, Treyen did notice how close.

No, he wasn't blaming the outcome on luck, nor on him (with this whole 'sabotage' thing Vindictus mentioned), Alec happened to be faster somehow. That one time. And so what if the boy was faster altogether? She shouldn't feel that way. Vashti was way better than Treyen as a Chaser, didn't mean he should consider telling Keefer that he was quitting the Quidditch team.

"Your 'after Hogwarts' is too far away to be thinking about it now," he said, taking her hand again.

Makings of a good Beater, no? Treyen had a good point. What good would a Quidditch official be if they couldn't get attention? "He made an excellent career choice, then," she laughed. Or whoever pointed him official made a good choice. Or both, you know. Ellie's bites became smaller and smaller as she finished up her toast, trying to prolong it. It didn't exactly work, though, for she soon had an empty plate...and then none as an elf whisked it away before she could even say anything. What if she wanted the crumbs, hmmmm? "Know but not believe, right?" Again? Not that not believing you were a fantastic boyfriend was bad necessarily. Some not-believing was good, right? Kept you humble and modest and all that? Her smile grew as she laughed about the air quotes. No, he definitely didn't believe it. But it faltered. What's bothering her? Weren't they not going to talk about it? Because, surely he meant the match, right? That was what was bothering her. Or, rather, the fact she was beat by Alec. A First Year. She chewed her lip for a while, wanting to put off answering, and giving him a chance to eat more of his ice cream, which would surely be melting soon. Her smile grew smaller and smaller so that by the time she spoke, it was gone. "I don't know if I should..." No, that wasn't right. She still believed she should play. That was all she was good at. "...could play Quidditch after Hogwarts...." Mind you, she still had to talk to Vindictus about it. He was a professional. She needed a professional's opinion. A smile graced his face. The little girl was fine. It made him happy somehow, even if he hadn't cared about the girl that much.
