She was about to ask but then he asked a question first. "She basically said we're in for a rough year." It was almost enough to make her wibble. Her eyes fell to the food for a second before turning on him again. "We don't have anymore house elves except one, we have to keep these all year and keep them clean ourselves," She flicked at her plate that was so much more disappointing now, "and we've become a charity case too because we're broke."

Okay so maybe that wasn't how the woman phrased it, but close enough!! "I'm Alexa, by the way, and you are?"

Ezra nodded along, possessing a good grasp on economizing and spreading resources thin in order to survive. His parents' life insurances and selling their old house and other goods had left him and his siblings a decent amount of gold; but grandma was strict and she would only allow them to use it for very special occasions. So, they got by with his grandparents' retirement check, grandad's piano lessons and grandma's tiny baking business. It wasn't a lot and he had to share his relatively small room with Elliot but it was good enough.

"I didn't even know we had house elves." He didn't sound very surprised at the revelation, though, because in retrospective, it made sense. Ezra wondered how he hadn't thought of it before and realized that he'd never had been given a reason to even think about who - or what - was in charge of polishing his shoes and making his bed. "You ever seen one, then?" A small grin was given. "Here in school, I mean." He jammed his fork into his bread, again, though it was lazily done and without the force he'd used before. "Oh! Yeah, manners and all." He frowned, pretended to consider whether he wanted Alexa to know his name or not, until he noticed she looked a little - okay, maybe a little bit more than a little - upset. He grinned, sort of apologetically, showing his dimples. "I'm Ezra. Nice to meet ya."
