"Oh, good. I'm glad she didn't. She usually doesn't get riled up this much, especially at night time." he shrugged. "She's nearly five months old and her name's Opal." he grinned as scratched the barking puppy behind the ears. "Oh, right. I think i remember seeing you as well." he replied with a nod of his head. "What happened to your nose? Are you alright?" he asked curiously, hoping he wasn't being rude.

Ella was looking down as she kept speaking. "Hunter wrote me a letter a while ago asking how I was doing, and we were corresponding for a while, but then he started writing about how Dad's health was getting a bit worse. Suddenly he had to go to the Hospital and I don't know what's going on. I'm so worried.. I've been staying up in here for a long time." Obviously. She'd been in a sort of cheery mood today when Carter came. And he seemed to be the only one anyway who could cheer her up. But he had a right to know, still, why she had been absent from classes, Quidditch, and most of the ball. She appreciated his gesture of taking her hand, because somehow it comforted her. But there was a nagging fear in her head saying that her father's health was not getting better at the moment. She had to keep waiting for Hunter's letters, though, and see where things were from there.
