Ellie nodded....because she agreed. She didn't want to take it. She didn't see the point in taking it. But then she shook her head. "I'm not seeking help." No. Especially in Potions. She just wanted nothing to do with it. "But if I don't take it, when the results come, Mum'll see that I didn't take it. If I take it and fail, at least I could say that I tried." Though, to be honest, her mom'll probably know Ellie didn't really try. It was pointless thinking her daughter might in the first place. Yet, Ellie was expected to take the exam.

That. That was the key question. "Just Mum being Mum." Meaning, Ellie getting lectured on doing well in something useful. "Only Dad agreed." THAT was when Ellie knew it was worth listening to. "Of course, he doesn't expect me to pass so many, but he does seem to think they're important."

Ellie's eyes immediately went to Treyen when he 'understood'. Really? The boy who enjoyed studying and reading and learning understood? "You passed all eleven of your OWLs. There was never even reason to believe you wouldn't." She was positive he'd pass any exam he took. He probably needn't have even studied as much as he did last term.

She smiled, though. She stood by what she said, too. "That was my third year," she nodded as she took his hand. "Okay..." So she shouldn't worry. Ellie could claim, though, that she wasn't worried about her future. It was her mom that was. Ellie was merely worrying about not giving her mother reason to worry.

Yeah, her mom shouldn't be worried, but that was why she wanted Ellie to pass so many OWLs, right? So that she could excel in whatever Ellie did end up deciding what path she wanted to follow?

Treyen kept talking. And...what exams were he worrying about?

But he was still talking. Chuckling now. Why was it that Treyen seemed to find humor in things Ellie thought to not be amusing at all? But she listened....until there was a BOOK on her lap. Ellie narrowed her eyes at it as she took her hand back from him. To flip through the book, of course. Her lips curled in a smile. "Nah, I think any book you gave me would automatically be deemed safe to accept." Mhm. Because Treyen wouldn't give her a dangerous, scary book, right? Right.

Then her eyes drifted to her broom. She forgot about the digging with her foot thing and clenched her lip between her teeth. "Do something with Quidditch, you mean?" It seemed obvious, but Ellie was one for clarification.

That was all he needed to know. No help will be given to her, at least not on his part. And not in Potions. He already said he could, she just had to want it. Okay, forget everything her mother had said, and even forget what her father had said, Treyen actually agreed with her father. The exams were there for a reason, but he also knew that Ellie wasn't going to be a Potioneer for the rest of her life.

As great as Treyen was in Potions, he wasn't going to spend his life working on them. He could at least try to finish the one he started with Sierra, but that was a different topic.

So, out of what Ellie said, Treyen just said one thing, "I believe you can do better than what you think you can." She could get an A in Potions...if tutored the right way. As far as Astronomy goes...well...he wouldn't mind checking out the stars with her every night until she got it right...but he wasn't the best in that class.

He shook his head, "This isn't about me." The boy smiled, HE was the one that brought himself up in the conversation. "But whilst I did pass all my OWLs...I was the only one who seemed worried about them. No one really cared, which isn't your case." BOTH her mother and father seemed to care enough. "My grandmother was actually surprised to see my grades, she didn't think I was a good student or something," he shrugged, the REAL case had been that she hadn't thought Treyen could outshine Kaika in that way, especially after all the trouble Treyen had caused when he was younger.

Oh, it was her third year? That meant it was his fourth. Makes total sense, considering that fifth year was so close to it.

Okay? Okay as in...she wasn't going to worry anymore?

And now he smiled, "I wouldn't mention this to any other Captain, though, since it's not precisely fair that you get to keep those game plays instead of the Hufflepuff one." Weren't Hufflepuffs fair players, eh?

The smile remained, even at the mention of Quidditch, "Isn't it obvious? It's something you enjoy and...you know, one Slytherin girl told me that one should work on what one enjoys, otherwise it's no fun at all." Harlow Riddle. Nice girl. She owed him a book. "Besides Quidditch...," he started, "...and me...," he was positively smirking, "...what interests you?" it was a VERY GOOD question, because he was slightly clueless about it. Sure, she liked chocolate, but most people did, and those that didn't...like Evelyn...were scary to begin with.

Chocolate isn't an interest, it was just something you liked or not. So, it didn't count.
