Adam was right about that, as well. It WAS awesome that her dad played. And it WAS nice having so many people - her family - to play with. Ellie greatly appreciated that. Them. She never took her family for granted, and even thinking about them, and how she'd get to see them soon at Christmas, made her smile. "Dad was Keeper. For Gryffindor. It is nice. And they have taught me a lot." Grin.

Tennis? "Uhm...I might? Maybe just not by name..." Ellie was quite limited as far as Muggle sport knowledge went. Though, chances were she's seen it or something related to it during a visit with her cousins, but wouldn't be able to identify it.

"That's neat, though." It kind of always amazed her how those ignorant to magic adjusted and became so involved in their world. Like Vashti was incredible on the Pitch, and she was Muggleborn. It was also kind of funny how people would think that being born into a Wizard family gave you an advantage, and how untrue that really was. "But you'll be staying here a while. You should definitely join the team next term. In the meantime, I'd love to play with you." They'd already been through that conversation, but it was true.


Well that was cool! Adam had heard that children weren't always put into the same houses as their parents were, but he was pretty sure Ellie was the first person he'd met that that was the case. Or at least she was the first person who he'd learned enough about her parents to know that she was in a different house than her father. "That's kinda cool that you and your dad were in different houses. I hear it happens a lot, but still, it's pretty neat." Adam was quite envious of Ellie. He found it hard to imagine that he'd be able to find people during the summer that he could practice quidditch with. It was after all quite challenging to practice those kinds of things when surrounded by muggles and alone.

"It's a really fun muggle sport," Adam said with a little nod. "I can teach you some time if you'd like, but of course we'd have to go to a muggle park or something since I don't really know of any wizards that play tennis for a living or anything like that," Adam said with a little chuckle. When Ellie commented that he'd be staying here for a while Adam nodded. "My intention is to finish the rest of my schooling here. Unless some unforeseen circumstances come up, I don't see that changing," Adam said with a small smile. He was happy about that too, and when Ellie said that she would love to play quidditch with him his smile widened. "That would be great! I hoping by shaking off the rust and doing some more practice I'll have a better chance at try outs next term."
