Text Cut: Joahoo ;)

Close enough? Yeah, well, when you say it slow like that, it's easier to get close, right? But still, Ellie didn't much like the thought of mispronouncing his name always. Even if she was always 'close enough', she'd rather have it down.

...Or use another name.

It wasn't English. Well THAT was just weird. What kind of person names their kid something in a foreign language, eh?

'John'. John was VERY English as far as Ellie knew. Very common. Very old. And Joahoo kept talking and it was getting hard to keep up with him. A lot of names at once. "Would you rather I call you Marcelo than mispronounce your real name, then?" Really, Ellie just wanted to know what to call the kid. She didn't really care about the background or language or where 'Marcelo' came from or whatever.

So Joahoo/Marcelo/whoever was a Slytherin? That wasn't too bad. The Captain wasn't terribly afraid of the Slytherin team. However, if they knew all her plays, she'd have plenty reason to fear them. "And do you play Quidditch? Know it? Care about it? Whether Slytherin wins or not?" Because she was going to have to kick him out from under her tree if he did.

Or work on super secret Ravenclaw plays later.

Anyways. Better to teach her, then. He really started out alright with this Ravenclaw. Maybe things would work out with one of them. "Close enough," he said with a smile. It was way better than what Louisa-- He wasn't going to think about her. Instead, he went on confirming her question. "It's not even an English name, so people cannot pronounce it." Well, obviously it wasn't. English never made out the vowels like that. *"I think it's John in English... though I prefer my other name, Marcelo, to this John."* Marcelo was an easy name, so she should have no difficulty in pronouncing that. This was a priviledge he didn't give to many people. Either he was really changing, or he stopped being so... harsh. He wondered what Louisa would have thought-- Moving on. "Good to meet you too." And he meant it. She was by far the best Ravenclaw he'd ever met, and he had met some. She was decent, even. If only she hadn't narrowed her eyes at him. He panicked for a moment thinking he did something wrong again. "...Slytherin." Why? So she would stop talking to him if he wasn't from her house? Close enough?
