Ells and the headmistress were sort of like a team right now, yeah? While one extinguished the flames on the placard, the other extinguished the flames of love. Or, y’know, cooled down the fire a bit… HOPEFULLY. The blonde simply smiled and let out a relieved sigh when the placard was no longer burning. Not TOO big a smile though cause that would have been mean, y’know? Yeah.

She felt bad for Lottie, y’know? And like she wanted to say something reassuring or helpful but the only thing she could think was that the Gryffindor had lost her gobstones. Or that she’d been poisoned…with Amortentia or something. Actually, that made the most sense. Where was Lafay when you needed her? ”She’ll be okay.” Eventually…hopefully. Yeah.

And then coo-coo bananas was smiling at her and the blonde managed a small smile for Lex in return but she was mostly just worried. Lex was soaking wet now, did she know? Someone get crazy-pants a towel.

BLINK.

What on earth was that Sarah girl talking about? Ella sort of just stared. She was tempted to squirt her with water because apparently that was allowed and not frowned upon but she didn’t. Instead more staring happened. STARE.

Kat seemed to be handling this entire situation well, y’know? That’s probably why she was head girl, she stayed focused around all the craziness. The blonde turned her attention back to her blonde buddy just after seeing Lottie try and get her best friend out of here. Good plan, Lottie.

Frowning. Cliff and Hogwartians and trains and yeah. She didn’t like the sound of that at all. ”They’ll be fine. I mean…they have to be, yeah?” Her voice might have cracked a bit because worried badger over here but still. ”You’d think they’d give us Omnioculars or something.” Y’know, so they could SEE.

Handshake? REALLY? ”I was actually thinking the same thing. It wouldn’t be right now having one before you left.” And she smiled a little before looking down. It was sad when people had to leave. Very sad.
