Because he had to prove to She-who-should-not-be-named's friends that he was quite a nice guy when he wanted. So instead of a hot reply, he simply shrugged.
"Thank you for the advice," even then, it just wouldn't have felt right if he didn't make somewhere of his comment sarcastic, "but I like Joćo much more, so I'll be using it with capable people." Saying that quite calmly. It would be her fault if she took them offensive.
If she wasn't going to work on them now, why taking all those notebooks out and nearly killing him? He kept his eyes narrowed too and kept her gaze like that. They were both measuring each other up, obviously. At last, he looked away. Away at the tree to be more precise, because something that big moving in the corner of his eye was more that enough to distract him.
"Fine," he said, looking back at her again. Leaning on the tree, he directed his gaze at the tree and waited her next move. Because until she was settled down, he couldn't just start thinking.
Marcelo had been ever so kind to thank her. And Ellie had thought he was just going to leave it at that. As evident by the small smile appearing on her face. Until he went on, that is. He should really stick to one sentence at a time. Because her reactions seemed to be changing every time he decided to open his mouth again.
Instead of that smile, the redhead raised an eyebrow,
"I don't think that not being able to pronounce your silly name makes the majority of the Hogwarts population, including myself, incapable." Thank you very much. It was really just a suggestion anyway.
"And if you insist on people calling you...that name...than you shouldn't be so bothered when they pronounce it wrong. It's not like they're doing it on purpose," she said matter-of-factly.
"That being said, I do understand how you could prefer to be called something over something else." Like how she only liked to be called 'Ellie' and hence introduced herself as such. Though, 'Ellie' was very easy to pronounce compared to Joahoo.
As far as getting her Quidditch work done, that would be impossible with him there. And she wasn't too keen on being nice to him after he'd called her 'incapable'.
"You know, Quidditch season isn't too far away and I really need to work on these strategies..." He should go find another tree now.
