Even if that girl happened to be a seventh year, and the Quidditch captain. Of course, Anna didn't know that yet.
"Can I sit?" She asked, leaning forward a little to look at the girl. "Everyone else seems occupied with someone. Unless, of course, you were waiting for someone else. Then I can go sit somewhere else." Okay, maybe she wasn't as bold as she thought she was. She was rambling. Nervous.
But then she noticed the pet carrier. "Merlin's pajamas! Is that a rabbit?!"
Ellie turned her head at the voice to see the dark haired girl. Younger, she seemed. Overly excited, she seemed. First year, she seemed not. Transfer, perhaps?
She was quiet for an awkward moment as she sized the girl up. Tried to place the face, because who knows, she might have always been coming here and Ellie just never noticed her. There were those people who always seemed
happy to be locked in an old castle, forced to study and do work, for nine months.
"No," she said softly,
"No...I'm not waiting for...anyone." So, yes, the brunette could sit if she wanted to. The Captain even managed a small smile.
One which grew, not in size, but in how genuine it was, when Bunny was mentioned.
"Yeah," she answered, with a surprisingly happy tone. Getting Bunny was definitely a good idea. Good distraction.
