A sigh of relief as the lily pad disappeared and then an exasperated one when Woopy summoned food from the Great Hall. Especially once she realized, her mouth opening slightly with horror, the food had bites taken out of it and obvious teeth marks on it. Gagging on the realization that Woopy had literally just stolen food from someone's plate to give to her, Eleanor gingerly picked it up and moved it to a location that she wasn't looking at.
"Woopy?" she said tentatively, cringing as she said his name. She was getting to where there was a reflex ingrained in her that whenever the house elf spoke, or the sound of him apparating near her happened, Ellie would flinch and grit her teeth. Would this last forever? Flicking her wand behind her back at one of the potted pine trees in the corner, Ellie forced herself to smile. "I do believe one of my trees has fallen over. I know you love to clean, would you mind taking care of that while I grade some papers in my office? It doesn't need to be tipped over like that for very long or the root ball will die. I can only entrust this to you, Woopy. I dare not trust anyone else."
