Treyen was smiling, so so was Ellie. "Caring and worrying are different. They could care," Ellie cared about his exams, "But you're an amazing student. There was nothing to worry about." Besides...whatever his grandmother was thinking...really? How could she not know how brilliant Treyen was? "My parents don't think I'll do well." Which meant that they had no faith in her....well, in her. "So they're nagging me about studying." Which she SO didn't want to do. She had to practice, anyway. She had a LOT of practicing to do.

The book, yeah. She still had it open at a random page. The play on it looked quite interesting, actually, but she could study it later. "Thank you," she said, closing the book and grinning. And, of course she wouldn't tell any other Captain. Or anyone, actually. Because who's to say that no one else wouldn't tell?

Obvious that that was what he meant? Or that that was what she could do. Because the latter seemed obvious to so many people. "I do enjoy it..." And she could TOTALLY see herself doing it. Moreso now that Treyen's suggested it than when Nia or Professor Bentley did. Plus, you didn't need a Potions NEWT to play. "There should be an OWL in flying." She'd O that.

GOOD question, Treyen. She placed her head on his shoulder and bit her lip as she thought about it. Thought about it probably for longer than the average person should have to think about such a question. "I...I don't know...?" That was...bad. Wasn't that bad? Did she really have no life outside Quidditch? No interests?

It was actually kind of a scary thought.


"Yes." He said, simply. "Even after all that, I still believe an A could happen." Granted, they'll have to be constantly studying...something she wouldn't want to do, and not now that she was Captain. As a matter of fact, the worst thing her mother could do (that affected Treyen in any way) was forbid her to come to Hogwarts, and that wasn't happening, thank Merlin.

Hmmmm, but wait..., "We should study together," he said, out of the blue, "Not Potions and Astronomy, let's leave those two behind, but the rest...we could try and see if I'm actually able to focus with you around." It had been rather difficult to do that before, and even during that History of Magic class that just ended. Which had been such a shame, since he knew a fair amount of information about wands.

She should stop telling him that he was an amazing student, though, he shrugged, "There's nothing to worry about when it comes to you," they shouldn't be worrying about their daughter's future either, yet Treyen's father had been lucky enough to have both kids pursuing what they wanted. Ellie just had to figure it out, and then her parents should be glad with knowing that she'll be happy doing whatever it was she wanted to. But...actually...if it involved Quidditch, there was PLENTY to worry about. He didn't mention that. He smiled instead, "I think you'll do more than well, does that count?" it ought to, at least, bring a smile to her face for trying to change it all around. Still, "It wouldn't be a bad idea, studying a bit more." With him. Wink.

'Thank you'. "It's nothing." It was nothing. He was under the impression that Kaika would be offering a whole lot of resistance into lending him her book, even more when he asked for a copy...but no, since it was for another Captain, she supposed it to be okay...after being persuaded by Treyen, of course.

And now it was time for a small laugh, "I'm sure you're not the only one that has thought about it." About the OWL in Flying. "But it's still not happening." He would've gotten 12 OWLs instead. That was...pressure enough for him to do better, right?

Once her head was on his shoulder, he placed his arm around her and waited patiently until an answer was given. And it wasn't the answer he'd been expecting, honestly, there had to be something else besides Quidditch and himself. "You...don't have to answer that right away...and we can actually forget I asked if that's going to be on your mind for the rest of the day." The Ravenclaw team could hex him if their Captain didn't have a clear mind by the time they had practice.

"Why are you carrying your broom around?" that was another interesting question.
