She answered his question with a nod of her head, though that seemed to be unnecessary, as Max had gone and taken a seat anyway.

A moment was taken in which she chewed her lip out of concentration and nerves and, while she felt it silly just a few moments ago, practiced the wand motion. Getting prepared to levitate her friend was taken a lot more seriously than idly waving her wand around to show Bellaire she was capable of a swish and a flick.

"Ready, then? I'm doing it verbally so you'll be prepared." And because she didn't trust herself to properly lift a full grown sixteen-year-old boy non-verbally. Though perhaps he'll let her play around with it later. It really depended on whether he was willing to take the chance to be bruised or not. Not that he wasn't risking it now, but Ellie was confident she could go through this safely.

She raised her wand. "Wingardium Leviosa." She swished, flicked, and watched her friend rise into the air.
Max observed Ellie's preparation. Was she... nervous? She shouldn't be, he thought. Ellie was a fine witch; of course she would be able to levitate him. He wasn't worried. But when she asked him if he was ready, he nodded and shut his eyes, still trying to appear calm. He slowly exhaled, as if the expulsion of air from his lungs would somehow make him lighter. He waited.

And then he felt himself separate from the ground.

Max's eyes shot open and he kept himself in his ball, but he tilted his head sideways as he peered down at the ground while he rose in the air. He suddenly felt anxious, almost sick, and worried if he tilted his body he would fall. The feeling quickly passed, however, and he felt his body relax. It was kind of... fun? He even dared to smile.

But, of course, the sickly feeling returned again when he heard a THUMP and saw Aspen... clinging to a Slytherin boy? Surely by accident. Max had once heard that there was an unspoken rule among Ravenclaw girls that Slytherin boys were a big no-no. And then, seemingly as soon as the fall had happened, Aspen had her wand pointed on the Head Boy. And then he realized... how could anyone concentrate with such a distraction...? "Elliedon'tdropme!"
