Kids these days were so rude, y'know? And Ella wasn't sure how different she'd been as a youngin but she highly doubted she was so disrespectful and so LOUD while waiting for class to start. Why she had to walk 5 miles to school... My how the times had changed since she'd started at Hogwarts. Sheesh.

The blonde adjusted in her seat and tried to get comfy, still sore from the phantom back pains she'd been getting. Then she gave a smile to Delilah as she was greeted befor she JUMPED. That door slamming thing? Yeah, it got Ella's attention. It also almost made her jump out of her seat and her bones weren't working like they used to, okay? No more scaring the students.
