Ella was quite happy for her friend. It was nice to have so much support around. Family and friends were very important. The blonde smiled wider as her friend blushed. "No need to thank me, just speaking the truth." She said with a shrug. As for the job talk, "It is a fantastic job. I'm totally in my element. I can;t imagine working anywhere else." And hearing about Minnie's job, Ella grinned at her friend. "Min! That's amazing. If this party is any indication, you're very good at your job. I'll have to keep you in mind for my next party." And she was being completely serious. "Time is flying. I can't believe how long it's been since Hogwarts...feels like just yesterday I was in the library there!"


Ella grinned as Harvey tried to scold Min for telling people about him fearing her wand. She eyed him curiously, trying not to laugh. And then he was asking her what she would do if he didn't treat her right and she shrugged. "I guess I'd probably let Minnie know about it, though I'd take more pleasure in dealing with you myself." Cue mischievous finger drumming and raised eyebrows. "...but don't worry, love. I don't think you'll be treating me badly, right?" And the blonde leaned forward to kiss his cheek.

"Cute red face?" Ella repeated before groaning. Why did he think that was cute? It was actually quite embarrassing. "It seems I turn into a tomato every time you're around, Harvs. It's quite strange, really." She admitted with a shrug. And then she was laughing at him, eyebrows raised. "Yes, people! Is it that hard to believe others find my company enjoyable? I'm pretty awesome if you haven't noticed." She said playfully.

The blonde smiled when Harvey assured her they wouldn't be apart for that long ever again. She knew he couldn't really know that for sure, that they wouldn't ever be apart, but it was comforting nonetheless. She allowed him to kiss her before breaking away and smiling widely at him again. "Good. It's settled then."



Ella grinned as she saw Justin and Ariana walking over. He looked exactly the same, older, but still a handsome guy. "Justin! It's great to see you. Thanks, by the way. You look great too, you both do." And she smiled from him to his wife. "I've just been working in the ministry and hanging with this guy..." Cue smile at Harvey. "And he talked about me at school, eh? Not surprising...he was clearly in love with me." And Ella laughed, poking Harvey playfully in the side. She blushed at the settling down comment but didn't respond. They weren't quite at that point in their relationship yet...though maybe someday. And then there was Ariana. "Course I remember her. Hey there! I'm really well and how are you? Thanks for having me, by the way! This party is lovely." And then there as the birthday boy. D'awwww! "He's adorable!" She said, smiling at the little guy. "Happy birthday, little man."

The blonde smiled as Edward greeted her and introduced his wife, Gabby. "Hi there, it's a pleasure to meet you both. And your family is beautiful." She was about to continue on with Edward's question about her job when they were being welcomed by who Ella assumed was Justin's mother.



Food? Yum. Ella smiled at Edward and motioned towards the food. "We can continue chatting over some food if you'd like." That might be nice. And Harvey would come too, yeah? She tugged on his hand a little as if saying, 'come onnn pleeeeaaassseeee!'
