Ellie and Nia Newtington, who was the Ravenclaw Captain at the time... they were my only two friends from the time I arrived in Diagon Alley, then again on the train, and... when I arrived here... I felt like their kindness was fate or something." His eyebrows furrowed as he spoke and he traced his finger along the blanket next to him in deep thought. "Because, y'know, I thought I'd be suited for either, and I didn't really have prior feelings for one over the other... and at first it didn't matter to me, but when the sorting hat started to make its decision and I saw the faces of Ellie and Nia over at the Ravenclaw table... I knew it was where I needed to be."

But what if he hadn't spoken up? What if he had let the hat do what it wanted without any objections? Would he and Emmaleigh have been great friends then? Would they have been too young to have any of the feelings they had now? Would they be too close of friends to see each other as anything else than a good friend?

Maybe things did happen for a reason. His fingers laced themselves snugly with hers at the thought.

But that was how he showed himself to be thankful, Em. He didn't know how to do it any other way, besides maybe hugs, but... then he'd just be hugging her all the time. He didn't argue, though; instead, he just gave her a soft, tired smile and squeezed her hand.

Then the marriage thing. She'd like that? Hmm. "I'm sure he would... or will, too. Definitely. He'd have to like it - to be married to you."

New Zealand or Australia?! "Me too! I've always thought New Zealand sounded really cool. Heard it's beautiful." He smiled down at her and murmured, "Good, 'cause I don't want to go anywhere without you either." So that was settled.

"Professor James," he laughed. He had never envisioned that title before. "I suppose that has a nice ring to it." And... she was really supporting his far-off Quidditch dream? "...Yeah. I dunno. I... think that's more of a 'fun dream' than a realistic one." He had seen his mother go through the whole professional Quidditch process, and while it was plenty of fun, it was far too... glamorous for his liking. "Too much attention," he thought aloud. Upon realizing his random comment probably didn't make sense, he clarified, "I... don't know if I'd want all the attention that comes with being a professional Quidditch player." And the busy life of eight-hour practices, sometimes longer... press conferences... photoshoots... bleh.

It sounded fun, but... maybe his time would be of better use helping people, despite how good he was at Quidditch. His life needed meaning.

She couldn't help but smirk at the thought of Max almost being a hatstall, and how he had been part of the reason why it had taken her so long to be called for sorting. She had been so nervous over the idea that she wasn't magical enough that she hadn't paid attention to the others actually being sorted before her. Emmaleigh found herself frowning though as the boy continued to talk. Sure she had asked him why he had chosen Ravenclaw, but they way he was explaining it to her, well it almost sounded like he was trying to justify his decision or something. “Max, is everything alright?” she asked looking over at him. “I just, It sounds kind of like you are trying to defend your decision.”

As Max commented further on the whole marriage thing, she smiled. “That’s good. I'd think it be a pretty poor marriage, and a pretty sad life to be married to someone that didn't enjoy helping me with things or enjoy the same stuff I do.”

“New Zealand.” she said smiling to herself. “Yeah, it will make for some amazing walks. Heard they get lots of snow too.” When the boy said he didn't want to go anywhere with out her as well, she couldn't help but snuggle up against him. The idea of only being able to see Max during school breaks sounded horrible, and she was glad he seemed to feel the same way.

Em shrugged at Max's instance that Quidditch wasn't a realistic goal. “You never know until you try. Have you, talked to anyone about it? Your mom, Vindictus? Ellie?” she asked. When he added that it would be too much attention, she looked up at him. “Just think long and hard about it before writing it off completely. I don't want you to be wondering years from now what might have been.” She wanted him to be sure. She would support him, no matter his decision, but she would be really glad if he didn't pursue the sport. It was nerve racking enough to day, worrying about him getting hurt and worrying about the outcome of the game. It'd just be a simpler life without the sport.
