AHA! There WAS a boy. Be cool, Maximus James. "Ohhhh? Tell me about him? Do I know him?" Ella probably had no clue who he knew or didn't know, but it was moreso one of those please give me a name, house, year, birth date, hair color, eye color, blood type, and complete list of personality traits questions laced with underlying enthusiasm.

As he finished his lone gummy worm, Ella asked about him. Oh. "I'm... pretty good, actually." Better than he was the past two terms, that was for sure. He had found a good balance between his friends, studies, Quidditch, and alone time, so he was actually quite content. "Life has been fun. I love this weather, and I'm excited that Quidditch season is here - congratulations, by the way. And classes have been interesting enough." He wasn't as engaged in his studies as he could have been, but he was happy. That was what truly mattered.

...Girls?

Max observed Ella for a long moment, his expression casual as he wondered if she knew something, then he ended up laughing. "Well. Not really," he said, looking down at his hands in his lap. He fidgeted as he added, "Do you know... well, y'know how Ellie left? My best friend - Ellie Stone, former Quidditch Captain?" Yadda yadda yadda. Of course she knew. "Since she left, I've pretty much been on my own to meet new people and rekindle friendships and... y'know, strengthen friendships." He cleared his throat, a smile playing on his lips. "D'you know Emmaleigh Swynford? She's a Hufflepuff in my year. She's got incredible bright red hair...?" He probably should have said incredibly, but... it slipped. "She and I have been spending a lot of time together. She's a good friend. So if that counts... I guess."

Totally cool statement, totally cool Max.

But the smile on his face was probably a bit too broad for how smoothly he was trying to play off some real feelings.

"Okay." Ella said, a small smile playing on her lips. "And sometimes the urge just kind of creeps up on you without warning, so if you feel it just go with it!" And Ells wouldn't hesitate to join in, she wouldn't let Max dance alone.

Ella shrugged, not sure if Max knew Harvey. "I um...well you might know him. He's a Ravenclaw..." So the chances were pretty good, actually. And then Ella was fiddling with her hands nervously, not able to look Max in the eyes. "His name is Harvey Watson and he's a fourth year." Nod. "And um...he's really great and nice and erm...well yeah." Blush. She wasn't sure what else Max wanted to know but she could go on and on about Harvs for days, that was for sure.

Pretty good? Well that was better than just okay so Ella smiled. Oh! And life had been fun for Max lately? This made Ella's smile widen as she'd hoped Max was having lots of fun. "This weather is lovely, isn't it?" Grin. So crisp and pretty! Ells adored autumn. As for Quidditch, Ella BEAMED at Max, bouncing up and down excitedly. "Thank you!" GRIN. "And congrats to you as well! It looks like we'll finally be playing each other, yeah?" And Ella wiggled her eyebrows playfully before laughing. The blonde simply nodded about classes, agreeing.

...

Was he not going to answer her question? Ella looked at him expectantly as he seemed to debate on sharing whatever news of girls he had. Maybe she was being a bit intrusive? Though they were friends, right? Right. So Ella could totally inquire about things like this. She smiled when he started to speak, eyebrows raised immediately when she saw his fidgeting. Hehehe. So there WAS a girl! Ellie? ...Ellie! OH, yeah! Ells knew Ellie Stone. "That's Sir Treyen's girlfriend!" BEAM. "She's quite good at Quidditch." Nod. And kinda intimidating, though Ella had never really spoken to the girl. It was just a vibe she gave off. "You must miss her...but I'm sure you're doing a good job erm...rekindling and strengthening." She offered, smiling reassuringly. OH! And a smile? Hmm...Was THIS about the girl, then? HEHEHE. It was!

Ella had never spoken to Emmaleigh but she knew what the older badger looked like. She'd seen her around the common room and in classes. The blonde couldn't help but smile knowingly when Max then commented on Emmaleigh's incredible hair. GRIN. And his smile? It was definitely a telling smile. It was goofy and big like the one Harvey got when he saw Ella. She knew all about those smiles. "Youlikeher." She said, bouncing a bit, knowing she was right. "And does she like you too?" That was the important question.
