Sacheverell. Right. Never gonna remember that. She nodded slowly. It was...interesting. Maybe one of those names that had an interesting backstory, no? As for his first name, "Sorry, too late for that. I go by what I'm introduced with." Hence why she only ever introduced herself as 'Ellie'. She wouldn't be able to stand being called 'Eliana' all the time.
So James it was. Until and unless she came up with something creative of her own. But she only gave nicknames to people she liked.
SIGH. "Reyn was replaced by some snobby old hag." Of course, Ellie didn't think she was old OR a hag, but it made her feel much better to say she was. "Nia graduated, JD left, and that kid," she jerked her head to Jacob on the couch, "was apparently made Captain." SNORT.
And here she was, friendless with a lunatic armed with a beater's bat to lead her in the one thing that was her only escape from the world.
"Good." The distracting bit. "Cuz I really don't mind being distracted right now."
Yes, she'd seen his toss and the other kid's fail catch. "Slick."
"Fine by me." James shrugged. He was used to all three.
Reyn?
Reyn.
?????????????????????????????????
Jim wrinkled his nose and then... "Oh, that professor." Shrug. Who cared? Really. Who cared about ANY professor? Ever? All they were good for was trying to learn you stuff, and Jimmy didn't much want them to think he was capable of any such thing.
He was still in serious denial about being sorted into Ravenclaw the term before.
"Nia. She was awesome." And hot. And awesome.
It was entirely possible Jimmy Wilkes had a thing for girls with POWER. He ignored the JD thing, vaguely recalling the guy from classes or whatever and turned his head back to couch dude. AKA Jacob. AKA Captain.
Epic.
"Why's that a bad thing?" Not that he was judging, just... really, why?
He grinned at Ellie again over the distraction thing. "You and me both, kid." Yeah. She WAS. Compared to him at least.
Wink.
"Always. Its what I do." The slick thing.
He was only mostly kidding.

This was true, although Eino still wished the frog hadn't hit him on the face, but this boy, as strange as he was, seemed to think it was a "nice catch." Now he was onto speak of missorted hats, which confirmed Eino's theory about the Sorting Hat's conspiracy. Eino looked at both of his hands and considered eating the frog, but he simply couldn't do it, so he put it back in the box. "Thank you, I will save it for later." Maybe Faustus would like a chocolate frog? "I'm Eino." He introduced himself after putting the chocolate frog box in his pocket.
Hah. He liked this kid. Little Weirdo. Jimmy, still sprawled over his chair with the casual and lazy air that only a teenaged boy could truly accomplish
(exhibit B: Jacob), grinned and watched the kid put the frog in his pocket.
"Nice to meet you, Eino. I'm Jimmy." Truth.
