It was one thing to give a short pep talk to his team, and ONLY his team. It was entirely different to address half of his House.
Ella turned slightly red when Keefer began talking to her. She stopped clapping and shrugged.
"Sorry, but I'm sure you'd do fine..." Cause he was the captain! He must have given speeches all the time, no?
"Well uh Congrats! You guys did awesome!" The first year said, smiling. She didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable and tried to think of something distracting to do. Maybe she could sing? She was horrible so that would take the attention off him! But then there was Hadley...HADLEY! She would save the day for sure.
SPOILER!!: Proud Hadley

Entering the common room to a sea of yellow and black, she noticed the students were rather mellowed, despite some cheering ... to which she figured out that they wanted Keefer to make a speech. BUT one look at her captain and she was sure that was the last thing Keefer wanted to do right now. He was only 16, after all and it wasn't like he'd been leading them for long.
"Hello," Fina greeted, smiling brightly and hopefully taking the pressure off of Keefer. "I just wanted to come in here and let you all know personally how very proud I am of ALL of you. The team effort and support that everyone exhibited today at the Quidditch Pitch makes me truly grateful to be a Hufflepuff, but also to be your Head of House. So thank you all for exhibiting true traits, that no doubt Helga Hufflepuff, herself would be proud of." Yup that was it.
Ella smiled widely as Professor Hadley started to speak. She was proud of them, all of them, even the non-quidditch players! That made Ella feel quite good. The first year was truly happy to be a Hufflepuff. She clapped when the head of house finished, waving shyly at the woman.
