Honestly.
Treyen Lockhart was, indeed, an idiot. He couldn't have enough with making Kurumi cried, he now had to make Ellie sad too? So, the boy didn't seem to be one of the brightest at the table, after all.
Her face. She'd never actually seen any hint of sadness on her face until now. And you know whose fault was it? His, and only his. He could've kept quiet, forever, but nooooooooooo, he had to come here and let her know what could be the worst news ever. He DID NOT think this through.
And when she spoke...well, let's just say his heart actually broke, because the fact that Nolan was gone was something that hadn't sink in yet, so, for him to listen to it from someone else made Hogwarts a bit emptier, truth be told, and his heart also. They'd lost someone that meant a great deal for them, and he was acknowledging it now.
"I--," but he couldn't speak, his eyes were now looking at the floor, there was no way he could face Ellie while saying this, "I think so," well, yes, there was sadness in his voice, "I'm sorry," for having to be the one telling her so.
Forget wibbles. Tears were now threatening Ellie. Ironic how she'd thought about crying just a few minutes ago, about how she wouldn't do that in public. But this was...awful. Just awful. How could Reyn do that to them?
She ran her fingers under her eyes. Tears would NOT fall. Yet.
"I'm sorry, too." For their loss. Their abandonment.
Ellie turned back to the staff table to watch the new teacher, and her brain started going on it's own again.
"She's wicked." And NOT in the good way. She'd snagged the Divination spot as soon as she could, probably. Before Reyn had the chance to take it back. That teacher was MEAN.
