 Yeahhh, Mr White! Yeah science!
Anna seemed to believe she was dreaming - Ezra shook his head at her request, agreeing with Algamus. He didn't want to hurt her, so instead he gave her a light (pathetic) poke to the arm. She wasn't dreaming. Everything seemed real and as clear as day. “Wide awake. See?” He beamed at her. Unless... they were both dreaming..
No, that was just weird. Ezra really didn't want his brain to go off on a tangent and start questioning his own reality, so he focused back on the sweet treats. With Algamus's reassurance, he took the chocolate bake he had had his eye on and took a big bite. Oh yum. Yumyumyum. These house elves were gifted chefs. “Amazing.” He enthused. No, with such authentic, delicious flavour, they were definitely awake.
He shared Anna's pang for Beezley. Poor little elf was very distressed. Ezra hated seeing anyone cry. It made his whole body tense up and his heart ache. Surely Hogwarts house elves were treated better than those on the outside. No way would the headmaster punish them. A small frown creased his brow and he resisted taking another tasty treat for fear of upsetting her more.. Although his eyes were drawn back to them for a moment. No, behave, Ezekiel.
Then a lightbulb went off in his head. PING! “Hey, we could help clean up the hall!” He offered his services as well as Anna's. The older girl seemed nice and caring and concerned for Beezley as well so surely she would want to help too? He gave her an apologetic look.
