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.
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.
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? Entering Kaiden was surprised to see not only the Quidditch Lady, but his two teammates. Or well, former teammates, but what ever. "Hi Professor Quidditch Lady, Its good to see you too." he said grinning, and coming into the office more, to stand with the girl. "Hey, Keeper Lady, Captain." He let his gaze fall across the room. Unlike everywhere else, it was nice and clean here. "Oh, and yes Ma'am, everything is fine." he said looking back at her. "I just... had a question or two...Quaffles and such."
