"I'm sorry we're having those problems too," she murmured as she stepped off the escalator and into the office. Truebridge gestured for the boy to have a seat opposite her desk and sat down at her own. She levitated the tea set that normally sat behind her desk down to the front of it and started tapping various pots and containers to get things going.
"One of the drawbacks of not having a complete set of house elves," she explained to the boy as the water started to boil, "is that we have to make our own tea. Now then," she set out a cup and a saucer for him and gave him a patient look, "do you like things on the sweet side or on the plain side?"
That would be, sugar or milk, child?
People here and in London had to think he was nuts for not having tea but tea wasn't everything back home. To him the beach, surfing, baking pies and working his butt off to help make ends meet with his parents at home was what he really had to focus on and those were important to him. He didn't care if they weren't important to others because judgmental people don't have a place in his heart, he has no time for those kinds of people.
The sixth year followed the redhead to her office and sat down from the chair on the other side of her desk. She really didn't seem as bad as people played her out to be. So what was so wrong with this redhead. NOT A THING. Nashville was getting past all of the problems and well just getting used to them. "I'm getting past all of the problems, they really don't seem that bad, Miss." he was really alright with them, now. Although he had been complaining about them the first week he had been at Hogwarts but he was just used to it now.
Nashville hadn't really been around people that had house elves. Were they really that important to the staff around here? Couldn't they do somethings by themselves or did it just save time for the house elves to do it for them? "They are helpful for you all, aren't they?" he really didn't know what to say about the house elves leaving. It was hard for him because he had to do everything on his own with nearly no help at all. "I love things on the sweet side." Nashville beamed.
