Welp, it was certainly crowded in here. The blonde noted the extra additions and new faces with a smile but was more concerned with gummy worm nomming, y'know. Blondie was quite hungry. Nom. Nom. Nommmm.

Wade's hair looked especially curly today, did he know? Ella's eyes went from that to his face and she BEAMED back at him, feeling proud. He was HEAD BOY and she couldn't have thought of a better person for the job. "Hi Wade!" Waveeee. "You can have more than one because head boys get special privileges, yeah?" Wink. See? She'd been working on the winking and the smirking and she totally had them down now. The blonde placed a handful of gummy worms in his hand and then held out her own for chocolate frog purposes. "Yes please!" This whole sweet sharing thing was nice, yeah?

And there was Theoman and his badge and yes, she'd noticed. Ella beamed at him and poked his badge gently. "Hi, Prefect." Grin! "The badge looks nice on you." And she was really proud of him, okay? She also sort of wanted to say 'I told you so' for all the times he'd talked bad about himself and she'd told him he was wrong but she didn't. Instead she asked, "Have a good summer?" Oh and he could have gummy worms too if he wanted.

Kat! Ella liked Kat and enjoyed their whole blonde keeper/student leader bond. Except that Ella hadn't done the keeping thing in a while but the bond still stood, right? Right. "Hey there!" BEAM. "Congrats on the badge. It's well deserved." And she got to work with Wade who was awesome so she wouldn't have any problems, Ella was sure. As for gummy worms, the sixteen year old nodded and poured some into Kat's hand. "Enjoy."

Beezus got a GRIN from Ella and eyes because nickname reasons that shouldn't be said aloud. She wasn't going to actually say it, was she? Anyway, the blonde was happy to see the brunette and she casually held the bag of gummy worms out to her, smiling all the while.

And there was a Hulk dealing with an adorable ickle and she got a finger wiggle and then a Nigel and a Ira and a Minnie and a Mo. Oh and a Derry. Ella had talked to her in the library last term, yeah? Book lovers unite and all that. "Congrats on the badges, you guys!" Well, the ones who'd just recieved them, that is.

And Tobias had lost his kitten? Ella didn't even know he had a kitten but if he did and it was lost, the captain was going to help find it. She was a good finder, remember? Badger and all... "Where'd you last see him...or her?"
