And finding Bunny a bush!bunny companion.

But that 'hey' was way to close to her to ignore, even if it wasn't intended for her. The Ravenclaw redheaded Captain lifted her head to the voice. The boy who spoke came as quite the surprise to her. Didn't she...intimidate him? Just as she did everyone else for some odd reason she'd never understand? Or just the fact that he's always seen her in her worst mood, immediately after losing a match? To him, no less?

He seemed very friendly, though, and soon Ellie was wearing a small smile. His question took her a moment to figure out. For whatever reason, she kept thinking people were concerned about whether or not she was 'okay' or 'alright' because...of Treyen...because she really didn't feel very 'okay' or 'alright' lately because of Treyen. Or rather, lack of Treyen. But....no. This was the little star first year Seeker. Even if that was what he meant by that question, Ellie wasn't about to go telling him that she wasn't. That her birthday just passed and that made everything worse.

So he'd meant 'you look hurt' to her. Physically. But she wasn't. And she had that smile on her face to show him so. "I'm fine," she nodded, "Have you seen a bunny shaped topiary, by the way?" she asked, stroking Bunny's head with her finger tips.

Did Alec see Bunny? There was a reason she was looking for this particular topiary. She wasn't too weird, you know.
Alec didn't know what to think. This was a girl who, no doubt, hated him and he had so casually walked up to her and said 'hey'? What was he thinking?! He could have easily hid away somewhere... anywhere! Somewhere that wasn't near the redheaded Captain. Then maybe he wouldn't have had to face the weirdness of this conversation.

What was weirder was the fact that the thirteen year old immediately got the mental image of the older girl crying at the end of the previous year. Wasn't crying something you do in private? Or around your bestest of friends? Alec had never cried in front of anyone ever before. Only in his sleep... once! But Ellie? She had cried in front of people! Even if one of them was her... boyfriend! EWWW!

... Alec kind of missed Treyen now.

But look! She was smiling! This was a start! Maybe this meant that she wasn't mad at him at all! Alec could feel himself getting slightly happier at this thought. People who were mad... didn't smile. Unless they were really really mad and they were being mean and wanted to smile in an evil way. But... Ellie wasn't evil. No! She wasn't even mean! She was just... Ellie. And he didn't know her very well.

What kind of surprised the young Hufflepuff was the fact that the girl... Ellie... was actually talking to him! ... Something had definitely happened to the girl this year. Her question was just that little bit weird. "That's good!" he said, smiling, "Erm... no? Am I meant to find it?" Was there a PRIZE? ... ICE CREAM?!

"I like your bunny!" ... Would Treyen be proud?
