While Clifford was answering to her question, Eleanor tried to take the algeas from around her knees. She wasn’t the kind of girl that whined a lot, but that was, aside from weird, eekk , and it smelled horribly.
“Another one?!” the brunette exclaimed, as she threw the algeas away. She watched it spash on the dark green water before turning back to Clifford. “ We already lost our common room because of a leak! And I thought the professors had fixed it.” Ellie continued. Then let out a small sigh before speaking again. “ But yes, you are probably right. Still, aren’t two leaks a little too weird? Something is really wrong in this leak story..”

Ahh geezz, he had to point that out hadn’t he? Well, actually Ellie wasn’t expecting him to point out how inappropriate the occasion was to congratulate him for making head boy. “Well, er.. you see, since there was a small possibility of us drowning and die I just didn’t really er.. wanted to miss the chance to congratulate you..?” The brunette replied. Eh, she had just mind that up, everyone could see that. But that could be a plausible excuse, couldn’t it ? – Besides, everyone else congratulated at an appropriate time and place, and when you where dry. Soo, I’m different. You shall remember me as the girl that congratulated you for making head boy in the middle of a flood.” She added with a smile, this time she spoke more normally, yet jokingly. “Or you always have a second possibility, remember me as weird and silly.”
She kind of wished he’d remember her for other motives. Like, she as his fellow Quidditch player or something.

And then Clifford just grabbed her hand out of the blue, and it started shaking a little bit.
“Er.. thank you Clifford.” The brunette said as the older boy helped her up the slime steps.
Her voice and hand were shaking probably because of the cold water. Humnm.. but..then why were her cheeks feeling a little warm?
Something was really off with her, seriously, first thing she was going to do once she left that place was to visit the hospital wing.
