Or she could ask a prefect to do it or another girl. Ellie wasn’t sure where she had bruises and if they we’re placed somewhere akward then she definitley didn’t want a boy looking at them. Icky!

Eyes drawn to the green stone on Samuil’s wand she asked curiously. "How come you have a stone on your wand?" It was definitley not standard that was for sure since her wand didn’t have a stone in the handle. Hearing about Russia and the dragon reserve she got quiet for a moment and sorrow flashed over her face before it was gone just as quickly. ”So you’ve gone to Durmstrang for the last couple of years then? Weird that I don’t remember you from there. I went there for my first year." Ellie carefully avoided saying anything about the dragon reserve. It just hurt way too much to think about her mother.

"Jarvey’s are cool!" Ellie said with a kind smile. "I read somewhere that you can keep pet’s that aren’t allowed in the house dorms in the CoMC’s creature pens if you talk to the professor. I don’t know if it’s still that way though." Her Hogwart’s a history edition wasn’t from this year so she didn’t know for certain and didn’t want to give Samuil false hope.

Flashing a glance at her backpack trying to recall what she had just read she said "Did you know that each Hogwart’s house has it’s own ghost that attends the feasts with student’s of their house? Like Bloody Baron with Slytherins, Grey Lady with the Ravenclaws, the Friar with the Hufflepuff’s and Nearly Headless Nick with the Gryffindors." It’d be fascinating and creepy to meet an actual ghost.

Why was she looking at him like that? Did he have a booger in his nose? Something on his face? It never occurred to him that she might be weirded out by his offer to help. But thankfully the subject changed with her rejection of his offer. It was fine with him. He probably wouldn’t have done a very good job anyways. Although, he wasn’t about to announce it.

”Um,” he reached out fiddling with the green tourmaline stone. ”I think Dedushka, ah…Grandpa,” the word felt funny on this tongue. ”Said it would help channel protection and defensive spells?” But as Samuil hadn’t learned much in the way of protection and defensive spells, he wasn’t sure if that was really the case. ”He was quite surprised that this wand chose me,” he added. ”Because he had made it with someone else in mind.” Yes, his grandfather was a wand maker. One of the best in Northern Europe if you asked Samuil’s opinion. He sensed she was sad about something and so asked, ”What does yours look like?” hoping the question might perk her up. Sad girls usually led to tears and awkwardness. He really didn't want to deal with that on his first day at Hogwarts.

Everyone always thought of Durmstrang when they heard Russia. But nope, that’s not where Samuil had gone. “Koldovstoretz,” he answered with a shake of his head and which would explain why they hadn’t met each other until now. ”I heard Durmstrang has a nice swimming lake.”

He hadn’t known about keeping pets with the Care of Magical Creatures professor. While it would be nice to see Jarvey from time to time, he wasn’t certain if he’d be happy staying in a pen all day. It was probably best to leave him home with his father. The girl, Eleanor, however had moved on from animals to ghosts. Ghosts were interesting to talk to, or so he heard. ”I didn’t know that. Are those the only ghosts in the school?”
