A week. A whole week and Ellie had been oblivious to it all. How hadn't she seen it? Now she was feeling like a lousy twin and she was determined to make it up to Alfie. She was so thrilled though too. After all Alfie was her best friend and Audrey her closest. The two of them together just made her want to giggle and pull Aud down for their little talk so she could see them together.

But something still seemed... wrong. She was positive there was something Alfie wasn't telling her. One horrible date couldn't be enough to push him into thinking that it would be easier to date Audrey. For that matter that didn't seem like a very good reason to choose to date anyone at all let alone a close friend. "Both of you thought it was easier?" That meant she had something to talk to Aud about too. "But wouldn't there have to be more then one bad date with Bagnold to bring up that sort of idea?"

Alfie rocked back and forth a little where he was sitting and then looked around to make sure they were alone. There were a pair of first years in the corner playing exploding snap, but other than that there wasn't anyone really about. It was safe to talk... but it was still hard to admit, even to his sister, and he looked at her sideways and then sighed, turning (mirroring the way she was sitting) so that he could face her.

"That day that ... that the bad things all happened at the Ministry? When we didn't know if mum and dad were okay, and I went to send an owl and then didn't come back for a while? You remember?"

Things were sounding very serious and then it seemed more so when Alfie looked around to make sure of something. She assumed it was to make sure that there wasn't anyone around to listen. What could he have to say that seemed so important that no one else could be around for? A brief flash of fear shot threw her before she pushed it away. There was no way he'd keep anything really bad away from her.

"Of course I remember. That was a really tense day." An extremely tense day. Ellie was full of nervous energy and twitchy until they finally received an owl back telling them that their mum and dad was ok. "Something else happened then?" She wanted to push, but felt that perhaps she was pushing enough without demanding.
