This was getting quite odd. The house elf was touching her, her students were all now staring at her and she was definitely confused. Ellie almost jerked her hand back from him as he stood up, making the sponge squirt all over the rest of her parchments. Now that was quite uncalled for. She opened her mouth to speak but he talked about her... writing to him? Ellie had most certainly not done that. She hadn't written a letter to anyone. Not even her family. And she kept her diary under lock and key so that was out of the question, plus it was back in Hogsmeade.

"Now see here," she started. And then he suggested they run away together. She was all for equality and whatnot, but there was a... race... thing between them. He wasn't even technically human.

Slowly disentangling her hand from Woopy's, Ellie slid as far back as she could from him without being rude. One must never be rude, even to the help. "I'm afraid you have me mixed up with someone else, sir. I didn't write you a letter. And we are definitely not running away together. I have obligations, and children. And you.. you're a house elf...?" Her voice trailed off into a slight questioning lilt at the end, unsure how to proceed. She couldn't exactly make him leave, he was standing on her desk. Nevermind that he was like... three feet tall and weighed like twenty pounds. She wasn't going to risk touching him any more than she had to. No sense in giving him more attention.
