"You just...can't! You'd be stuck forever." And Ella's green eyes grew wide at the thought of being trapped in an ice cream prison. What a wonderful and terrible place that would be. EEP. "Yeah...yeah, you're right. I wouldn't be able to do anything Hogwartsy." Frown. "And life without Quidditch would be...would be...it would be really sad." Even with a dorm made of ice cream! "And I'd miss all my people, of course." Alec included, though she didn't say that out loud for whatever reason. An amused smile spread across her face when Alec agreed that she was strong, knowing that was complete rubbish. As for his question, "I erm...well yeah, I guess so. I mean I'd be really worried about you if you were hurt and um...just don't go getting hurt any time soon, okay?" He wasn't allowed to, as far as Ella was concerned and she knew Hulk and Pinky would agree. BLUSH. "Brilliant? I um...I wouldn't go that far but um...thanks." Coming from the best seeker she'd seen play, it meant a lot. "Yeah...yeah, it is awesome! Quidditch is the best! You shouldn't be too nervous, though. You're one of the best players at Hogwarts. You'll make the team for sure." Just stating facts, she was.

Of all the things in the world to be afraid of, why would some one be afraid of house elves? They were so ickle and kind and hard working! MEEP. They were just really cool, yeah? She gave her fellow badger the smallest of smiles when he seemed to like her idea, wondering if they could actually get Messer down to the kitchens. "What if we um...well we could...do you think blindfolding him and not telling him where we were going is too extreme?" Probably, right? But if it helped hit out, maybe it was a good thing to do. Oh...and he was smiling at her? Because of what she said about cleaning? Ella rolled her eyes before laughing softly. "I am such a weirdo, huh?" She asked, more amused than embarrassed by her awkward comment. "Right...useful. Yeah! Hey, maybe I could be a house dinosaur?" Grin. "Okay, thanks. I'll wash and you dry?" Ells was always a washer at home when her and Dad did dishes. BEAM. Ice cream ninjas did sound like a cool occupation. Ells wondered if they'd need uniforms for this. "Thanks."

So...not only was Alec acting strange, but his eyes were so wide it looked like he had seen a ghost or something. Ella couldn't help but turn around quickly, expecting to see the Bloody Baron floating behind her and looking all stern and scary-like. She let out a small sigh of relief when all she found behind her was a few elves, hard at work. PHEW. She turned back around in time to watch as Alec proclaimed how awesome he thought ice cream sundaes were. She smiled at him, wondering why he was acting so strange and cute all of the sudden. "I'm excited too." Grin. "And yeah...sundaes are awesome. I completely agree!"

Ella nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I mean we're making ice cream sundaes, not ice cream soup..." Giggle. Though...ice cream soup definitely sounded interesting. Hmmm. Oh...right! Oreo. Duh! How had Ella forgotten her favorite ice cream? Her brain was all confuzzled now. Strange. "Yeah...yeah, Oreo! We'll need lots of Oreo ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream, crushed Oreo cookies, and cherries." But wait! She was forgetting something...what was she forgetting...she frowned, looking around before a lightbulb went off. "And gummy worms!" MEEP! How could she have forgotten. Where was her brain today, anyway? Very strange indeed.
