Smiling politely as they shook hands, Fina looked back at the redhead when she confirmed she was indeed with Portree; purple robes though, she didn't remember oddly enough. But Ellie was surprised she knew the healer. "Well... I don't really know her, but her eldest brother, Andrew, he was a year older than me. In Hufflepuff." So duh, of course she knew him. She knew Mia only slightly, seeing as the girl was only a mere second or third year when she graduated. "And then we caught up briefly in each other's recent activities when he ran for Board of Governors a couple years ago." Mmhm. SO yea....
She was surprised she flew in a match? Why ... was it a BAD THING?! "It was a fundraiser. For fun, though." So why so surprised?! It wasn't like she was playing for a trophy or anything.
BUT THEN....... OH. She ... soul companion. No. Why did she have to say that 'b' word so loud. For being in thirties, Fina felt a school-girl's blush creep across her cheeks. "No. No, not husband. Just boyfriend." Was that a big deal? "But ssssh", she held a single finger up towards Ellie's lips.

The names being passed seemed vaguely familiar to him, at least Andrew being around his own age. But then he had no need to add his two cents into the conversation as it went on around him. He couldn't help coughing at the mention of husband though, the word so...so...loud even among the never-ending din of the street festival. Even the title of boyfriend had been exaggerated in tone and volumn by the redhead just as her eyes had widened in shock at the revelation.
Was it really such a surprise for Fina to have such a connection? Or was it him that was the cause of the commotion? Addison couldn't be sure but he was sure it was probably best to keep either a little more on the down-low. The blush on his companion was cute though, making Addison smile.
But yes, Sssssshhhh. Like...a little quieter, capice?
Not that they were hiding their relationship, Hadley certainly wouldn't have introduced him the way she had if that had been the case. But it didn't need to be broadcast. Besides, the topic of husbandry was up in the air at the moment.
So Hadley knew about Mia. And knew she was the Portree healer because of a recent catch up with another Rose brother. Okay. That made a lot more sense than Hadley randomly knowing this information about the team. Ellie nodded, accepting the explanation, but not really having further comment on it.
"Yeah," she laughed softly,
"But that doesn't meant he students would go easy on you. A match is a match." And Hadley wasn't very experienced. But she survived! And played quite well.
"Would you do another?" Would Hogwarts HAVE another? Ellie sooo had to see that one, too. Hopefully her own schedule would allow for it.
Onto more important things...HADLEY HAD A BOYFRIEND!! Not husband, thank Merlin. BUT BOYFRIEND!!
"Since when?!?!!" the redhead BEAMED at her. Not that she wanted to know the gritty details of how they met, when they started dating, where they went...She just wanted to know HOW out of the loop she was.
Why wasn't Hadley one of those professors she wrote to regularly to keep in touch with?
In her excitement, Ellie kept glancing between the two. But the boyfriend seemed to be on the quiet side, which dampened her spirit a little. HOW was she supposed to get to know him if he didn't talk, eh?
Then, Hadley had a finger to her mouth. The girl blinked. Apparently, she had to keep quiet to.
"Why?!" she whisper!shouted.

Do kids these days play quidditch with dragons or extra bludgers or something?
And it was always this time of the year when Eric really missed playing quidditch. Probably from repairing all the brooms? Who knew...
He apparated to Diagon Alley at lunch, grabbed a light lunch and headed for the festival. As he strolled around, he came across a booth. Hogwarts... Funding? Funding for what, exactly? Hmm... Oh, right! The goblins attack. Well, a few galleons won't hurt... His brother was going to attend Hogwarts, after all. As Eric walked towards the booth, he slid his hand into his pocket and pull out 10 galleons. "Good day, governors," he greeted smilingly as he dropped the galleons into one of the jars. Then a couple of figures caught his attention. He double checked to make sure he wasn't seeing things, like muggles said, out of stress from working. His jaw dropped to see who they were. "GOOD MERLIN!" he exclaimed. Had he watched quidditch matches, yes. Had he played quidditch, yes. As the matter of fact, he was a captain himself. But had he ever met a professional quidditch player, in this case, players it was almost like a dream. There was a right way and a wrong way to address or bring attention to a Quidditch player in public, according to Ellie. You could be kind, and approach, and politely ask for a photograph or autograph or what-have-you like Sherman did. That was the right way.
The wrong way was to shout obnoxiously.
Still, Ellie blushed slightly upon giving the man a glance, simply to see
who shouted. Then, pretending she didn't know what he was shouting about, inched slightly closer to Hadley.
