Grin. "Thanks, Professor! I hope I can do the position justice. I um... have some pretty big shoes to fill." Shuffle. And the sixteen year old smiled at Nessie quickly before looking back up at the flying Professor. Oh and summer? "My summer was brilliant. I got a chance to work at a zoo, actually. It was really exciting. I hope yours was good too, Professor. Did you get a chance to see Max much?" Because Max questions, yeah, Ells had lots of them. "Of course you will, Miss Bishop. You were an excellent team player last term - superb sportsmanship," James noted, recalling Ella's extreme efforts to encourage the other teams when they were down. "You'll do brilliantly, I'm sure of it - won't she, Nessie? A fine replacement for those 'big shoes'?" Her gaze settled on the former Hufflepuff captain with a warm, knowing smile; certainly Ness believed in Ella as much as Erin did.
"A zoo - really? Where was that? What kind of creatures did you work with?" If Ella ever wanted to mingle with a hippogriff, glumbumble, and a fwooper among other magical creatures, James knew just where to recommend. "Ah, I was actually surprised I didn't see you this summer - Max had mentioned having a summer gathering at the house with some friends, but I suppose his plans fell through as he wasn't even home long enough to hold such an event. He mentioned spending time with Ellie Stone, Genevieve Branxton, Louisa -" what was her last name? "... Carter, isn't it? He visited with Emmaleigh a bit as well. So, unfortunately, he spent a bit more time with friends this summer than he did visiting home." She supposed that was normal, though, wasn't it? Summers were meant for fun, not necessarily for family time. Though... she would have enjoyed more of that. Text Cut: Nessieee Quote:

Beeeeeaaaam.
Professor J! How good it was to see her. The seventh year instantly felt happier and she felt safer now or at least safer than last night which in Nessie's opinion was because Professor J always made Ness feel at home. With a smile the red head squished the Professor slightly back and then continued smiling as she pulled back. "Thank you, Professor." She bit her lip slightly at the thought of Head Girl again. Aaannd as for Ella with that comment Ness gave her just a slight nudge. "Kiddo, you're going to be ferocious! Amazing! You'll make us proud, I know you will." Ella needed to know she thought that. As for summer Ella's sounded interesting. The zoo...yeah working with animals was not something Nessie excelled in. "My summer was a little less interesting than that." She shrugged. "Went away though...and um..I've been looking at Uni options for after school. I applied at WADA." Which was Wizarding Academy of Dramatic Arts, but Professor J would know that, no? "But yes, how was your summer?"
Aand Max? OHHH right Professor's son, Ness remembered him vaguely. Yeah she remembered Ella being close to him.
As Nessie praised Ella on cue, James offered multiple nods of reassurance. At the Head Girl's news, Erin brightened up even more, "Did you? Congratulations! That's a good step in figuring out your life - and you can still keep your options open. Are you applying anywhere else as of yet, or is your heart quite set on WADA?
"I spent a week in Italy," she noted shortly, her gaze unfocused as she pondered the matter, but she brightened up once more and continued along, clearly uninterested in elaborating, "but that was the most exciting thing I did. Spent most of my free time with my husband at home." The usual.
Come along then, girls. Open up. Her eyes sparkling with interest, Erin inquired lightheartedly, "To what do I owe this visit? Or did you just miss my free peppermints?" She plucked two from the bowl on the end table and tossed them to the Hufflepuffs. Quote:

Nearing the office, he noticed a smell and sniff, sniff, sniffed. “Peppermint.” He said thoughtfully. Could be worse, could smell like the musty, dirty common room. Stopping at the open door, he knocked on the door post and asked. “Professor Quidditch Lady?" Ah, a new face - or, at least, one that had never ventured to her office before. But... Professor Quidditch Lady? She chuckled at that, unfazed, and went along, beckoning him into the office with a hand, "Come on in, Mister Yarborough. Nice to see you. Everything all right?
