'Not too bad' was probably equivalent to Ellie's 'pretty good'. So she took it as 'pretty good'. Which...was good. "Lousia's Head Girl?" Congrats to Louisa. Also.......why didn't she already know about that?

The mention of Quidditch tryouts obviously put a smile on the former Captain's face. "I'm glad they went well," she nodded, "And that you're trying out." It would do him some good. Quidditch was always for the better. "Aidan was there, right?" she asked, raising her eyebrow. He better have been. She was not going to let her little brother not at LEAST try out for the Quidditch team.

And Emmaleigh. The name didn't bring a smile to Ellie's face, but a smirk. "The girl you're getting on a broom?" She tried to keep her tone casual. But, really, she was excited for Max. When did he ever feel the need to talk about one girl in particular? When did he ever get butterfly feelings around a girl? "You gonna elaborate about her?" Because she was very curious as to who she was. She got nearly nothing out of Treyen. But even if she did, Max's point of view would be so much better.

To answer Max's question on a former Headmistress..."No..." Why would she? She'd only ever known Tate. And it wasn't like she read up on the history of Hogwarts or....anything, really. "And what's her name?" The daughter's? Though it was safe to say Ellie approved of her since she tried out for Quidditch.

"And no I don't..." Aidan hadn't mentioned that in his letters. Maybe because he didn't realize she was new. Maybe he'd just forgot. Maybe he just didn't want to bore her with things she didn't really care about. As long as the person who replaced Tate wasn't mad or anything.

Max could just as easily be to blame, though. He didn't mention it in his letters, either.

Max nodded, "Yeah, she is! She seemed pretty surprised." Most people seemed surprised, actually. But Max wasn't. He had been hoping she would get the badge over Kurumi(no offense to the Gryffindor). There was just something cool about having the Head Girl in one's house.

He smiled, relieved that she seemed just as happy about Ravenclaw Quidditch as she was less than half a year ago. "Me too." To both statements. "Milton's the new captain," he traced an etching on the table in front of him with his pointer finger, trying to sound quite casual, "so it's different." Milton was POMPOUS. Max didn't like that. At least Ellie was good AND moderately humble.

"Yeah, he was there - tried out for a few different positions, in fact." Including HIS position, which the seventh year was... not too happy about. He was not going to be dethroned by a small first year, no matter HOW fast he was. Max was BUILT to be a Keeper. He couldn't... not. "...But he's really fast, really agile. Good flyer. I think he'd make a good Seeker, actually, but he seemed apprehensive to give it a shot." Shame, really.

He observed Ellie's reaction of a smirk curiously, trying not to let it bother him that she obviously already drew her conclusions on the matter. "That's the one." Max lifted his head for a moment to catch Ellie's eye, then directed his attention back to the etching on the table in front of him. "There's not a lot to say. We're... friends. We like a lot of the same things - enjoying nature, magical creatures, literature... we both hate Arithmancy..." Though SHE liked Ancient Runes and Divination and was afraid to fly. That definitely wasn't Max. "She's really nice, seems to have a heart of gold." He was smiling now, and he hesitated before continuing, "But don't worry. You're not going to get demoted with this one. She's not going to take your place as my best friend."

A different kind of friend, perhaps. The kind of friend Ellie COULD have been. But... he tried not to dwell on those thoughts too much. Emmaleigh and Max had only truly known each other for TWO MONTHS. So any confusing feelings or thoughts were just... hormones. It surely couldn't mean anything, could it?

"Genevieve Branxton," he instinctively replied, snapping out of his thoughts. "She's cool." A bit of an attitude, but Max found that to be amusing. And to Ellie not knowing about the new Headmistress... "Oh. It's Professor Bunbury - now Truebridge - she used to teach Herbology. She's... nice," but kind of scary. "She seems to have a bit of a short temper. I guess that could be good, though - someone's gotta keep the mischief-makers in order." Those conclusions were just from what he could tell on the train. But she HAD awarded him five house points for helping out during the train madness, so... she probably had a good heart.

"...What about you, though? Tell me all about you! How's life?" He was still SO SO SO SO SO SO happy she was there. SO happy. Ugh. She had ALL of his attention - he didn't even notice any of the people around them, or that they were even in the Hog's Head. It was just him and Ellie.
