Nod. Nod.

The red head just kept nodding as Professor J went on talking to Ella. The girl needed to know she was perfect for the position and everything James said about her was true. The Hufflepuff giggled slightly at the shoe comment though, because in reality her feet really weren't that big but she knew what the Professor really meant. "Yes. She really suits those shoes, Professor." Captain Ellaphant. See it even sounded good together. "No problem, Kiddo." She gave the blonde a smile, that turned to a frown because of what came out of her mouth next. But she understood what Ella felt, she'd been there and was sort of still there with her new badge but this wasn't a time to mention that. " You won't let anyone down, I know you won't." She knew the kiddo would do the best she could and at the end of the day that was what mattered.

During the whole zoo talk, the seventh year half listened half didn't. She didn't want them to feel like she was intruding in their conversation not that she thought either of them would have really minded but she wanted them to bond. Professor J was the person Ella would seen need to go to for almost anything quidditch related and it was important they got along well.

A smile lit up on Nessie's face as James congratulated her, but the congratulations wasn't really needed just yet. She still had to make it into the school which would not be too easy. "Yep, thank you. And yeah, I guess it is, it's kinda scary though."Because it meant growing up. Gulp. "Um..I haven't really applied anywhere else, but I feel like I should. You know so I've got back up?" She pouted as began thinking of that. Ella's voice of excitement was what got her distracted. She smiled at the fifth year and nodded. "Yeah, but I still have to get accepted and I'll probably have to audition soon." Which was absolutely nerve-racking to even think about.

But onto Professor J's holiday, that sounded not too busy which Nessie thought was good because a real holiday was supposed to be relaxing and if you were busy all the team when were you to relax? "Italy? That must have been quite something." Probably like Paris and to Ness that was one of the most beautiful places in the world. "Did you at least have a relaxing holiday then?"

Peppermints! She did miss those and caught the one thrown to her, popping it in her mouth. She then lifted her filled up present bag up and gave it to Profesor J. "I came here to give you this. It's just a little something for everything last year." Warm smile. She hoped James would like it.

Oooh. Another visitor and one Nessie was quite fond of considering he was another one of her kiddos. "Hi, Kaiden." She gave him a nod and smile and giggled at Ella's comment. Puff party this was then?
