"Sort of," she answered after pausing a moment to think about her reasons. She'd admit it hadn't quite gone according to plan. "I was hoping he'd stand up to me and tell me he wasn't any of those things...but it seems he doesn't know his own standard of playing. And is letting his head rule his heart." She perched on the arm of the sofa behind her. "Overthinking can be a bad thing in Quidditch..." She sighed. "I was hoping to shock him a bit...but it seemed my plan kinda backfired." She wasn't ashamed to admit it. "In the short term at least..."
Ellie nodded. Soooo much better!
"Oh, yeah. He needs a confidence boost." she said.
She looked over to where he had been with that other girl.
"Maybe.... maybe he just needs more people to knock some sense into him... I mean, he can't just not play. If someone he trusted told him what we've all been telling him, maybe then he'd listen... Or... He just can't not play because he doesn't want to.. or says he doesn't... he does! He's got to! You can tell when he flies, he loves it... Why is he doing this to himself!" Ellie laughed. She had no idea what she was saying. She was just so frustrated. He was good! Good quidditch players play quidditch! It's as simple as that!
"He's only making it worse for himself by doubting himself!" she finished her thought out loud.
