He gave her an innocent look for a second in regard to his smirk, then gave up on it. "I dunno," he said honestly. "I just thought it was sort of funny... I was going to be all excited and stuff, give you a hug, and you kinda lacked the energy I thought you would have." Maybe that wasn't the honesty she was looking for, but oh well.
Hmm... that kind of explained why she hadn't been excited, yeah? "Something wrong?" Not to intrude... but she could tell him if she wanted. As long as it wasn't something totally girly that he'd have to listen to and pretend to care about. No, that would be bad.
"I'm good. Really good, actually." And he didn't know exactly why, he just was.
BEAM. Ellie BEAMED at the nudge. Physical contact. It was a good thing.
"Beats not having any friends, right?" Cuz last term he was NEW. Heh. That was fun. Good times.
"Oh." SIGH.
"Sorry. It's weird right?" she asked. Her not being all excited and stuff. Excited was so HER. Especially in the beginning of term. Her being merose even weirded HER out.
At the question, her eyes flickered up to the Staff table. SOMEONE was missing. Someone that she was pretty sure, if present, she'd be less like...less like whatever she was being right now. Less like a Debbie Downer. Ironic, right?
"I just kinda...don't want to be here...now." Maybe in a few more weeks. But now? Now she just missed HOME.
Still, Ellie managed to smile at the fifth year.
"That's good! Have a good holiday?" SPOILER!!: Ivory!

She's been so horribly shy the previous year, it's no wonder no one knew who she was. But not this year! This term she'd be involved, and make friends, and all that good stuff. Yes, that was the plan.
"To be completely honest, neither did I at first." she answered truthfully. "There's not too many though, for the most part Ravenclaws are a good bunch." She said that last part with a bit of pride. Yeah, she was proud of her house. "Oh don't sell yourself short." He seemed like an intelligent guy. "I'm sure you would help if someone really needed it."
He didn't seem like the sort of guy to turn someone in need away. But then again that was just her first impression.
"You know," she began with a grin. "Some people think of it as sucking up to meet the Professors on the first day." Not that she was calling him a suck up of course. "But I like to think of it as laying of the ground work. Like you said get off on a good start. Shows them you have initiative and whatnot." Most people admired that.
Her lips quirked up at his enthusiasm for his duties. Giving a small giggle, she nodded. Yes, those sounded like excellent duties. "Well then I guess that makes us official new friends." [/FONT]
"Nice to meet you too." More beaming. She could do that, apparently, be sad and happy at the same time. Or her mood just changed constantly.
Heh.
"Depends on the professor, I guess." Ellie said, inviting herself in their already established conversation cuz she COULD.
"Like...if you already knew them, then you're just visiting them and it's like...like you actually like them and genuinely want to interact with them. If they're new, it's kinda like more sucking upish." Words of wisdom from Ellie Stone. Like Little Professor or Hadley, she could confidently approach just to see how their summer was...or something. But that new woman? If she was like 'I'm really looking forward to your class', it'd be MAJOR sucking up sounding. Right?
