Ellery awarded Olly with a small, triangular shaped smile, then hid behind her hair. "It took long enough," she said, trying to act casually, but then she re-emerged from behind her hair. "Don't worry, you don't have competition. You're still number one in my books."
"You should sneak into Gryffindor some time. I'll help. OR I could see Slytherin." And yell at Dante some more.
Ellery smiled. "But I AM, bro. Good job." …Wait, though. "That is totally inane!!!! Why should you get in trouble for speaking your opinion, which is a MORAL and ETHICAL opinion anyway!!!!!!! WHY."
He considered what Ellery had said.
"I don't think so. I saw her in Diagon Alley over the summer and she seemed happy enough. Something must have happened between then and the start of school." He couldn't remember exactly when he had been in Diagon Alley but Ellery would know, considering they had gone together.
"I don't know her address. Maybe one of your dorm mates do?" "YEAH!" His mind raced with ideas for sneaking into the Gryffindor common room, or sneaking Ellery into the Slytherin ones.
"Dante told me it would be hard to get people from other houses in, but I could try."
He just shrugged. He didn't think he should have gotten in trouble either, of course he didn't.
"I don't know. She's not very nice." He couldn't help but glance around, just in case she happened to be near. But she would probably melt in the sunlight anyway, so he was safe.
