Ellie walked into the common room scowling. She was clearly, still upset about not having quidditch. All she had to look forward to now, was the Tourny. And she couldn't even be a part of that! No tryouts, no practices, no games... No cup. And she had sooo wanted to win that cup. They were soo close last term, surely this would be the one. And mostly, she was sad for Nia. Poor Nia's last year, and they didn't even have the option to win the cup. It was aggrivating.

But when she had entered, her frown lessened a bit. She wasn't smiling exactly, just not quite as horrid looking. It was like, seeing all the blue and the familiar furnature and the Diadum, gave her a warm feeling. Like the common room had some sort of magic to it that made you feel comfortable and relaxed. And she had missed it.

Still, she wasn't the happiest. So she threw herself onto a chair by the fire, and studied the floor.
