Ethan kind of felt like none of this was real. It was finally here. The end of his time here at Hogwarts. It was strange to think he had ever been eager to get out of here when he was younger. He had an appreciation for it now even if he was still excited for his future once he was out of here...
Ethan took his seat and for a moment he wasn't entirely sure how he got there. Obviously he had walked in with the rest of his classmates but after focusing on the finish line all year he hadn't really had a moment to reflect until he was sitting in the great hall about to graduate. There was a...
Ethan nodded. "Well I haven't heard any alarms sound so I think he's in the clear." he said in an attempt at another joke. He didn't particularly like joking about Emmanuel vanishing but he was grasping at straws for something to say. When Emrys looked confused at his invitation to breakfast for...
Ethan grinned and nodded in agreement. "Me neither." he said in regards to the mice. He watched as Todd tossed the treat and had pretty good aim. He tried to look encouraging but he also knew the treats and the observation was all a bit of a pointless mission. No one had seen the eel in quiet...
Ethan listened as Emrys explained that he had already tried looking for Emmanuel a few places already. "Oh well, I'm sure he'll show up eventually." he said, not sure if the other boy's mood was because of disappointment or genuine worry. "Unless he's managed to disappear." he attempted to joke...
Ethan wasn't entirely surprised at the question. Emmanuel was one of his roommates but they weren't that close so it wasn't like he usually kept track of his whereabouts. "Oh, uhhh..." he began but trailed off as he tried to remember the last time he had seen the other boy. "I saw him this...
Ethan felt a little embarrassed as Todd explained his joke. "Oh!" he said a little too loudly and wondered if it was too late to laugh. Instead he smiled. "That's good." he added. "Cause they're good for owls but I don't know what they actually put in these." he explained with some caution in...
Ethan didn't have many expectations for what this would be like but he was trying. He blinked at Todd's response and didn't know what to say at first. He wasn't entirely sure what was in these owl treats, he had never gotten quiet that bored while working in the shop. "Oh, uhh ok." he said...
Ethan yawned. He knew the prefect badge came with extra responsibilities and he had been so sure he could handle them. But he hadn't really known how hard night patrols would be on him. His sister was finally sleeping through the night so he wasn't used to the sleep deprivation anymore. He was...
Ethan obviously knew his roommates. They had shared a room for six, nearly seven years. But if he was being totally honest they were practically strangers even after all this time. He liked them all well enough, even if Emery could be exhausting. But this year was a little different. It was...
Ethan knew he should feel some kind of way about this being his last year at Hogwarts but to him it kind of just felt like another year. Of course he was pretty sure it was going to be a great one, with Marnie and his new prefect badge. But as the sorting ceremony ended and the feast began he...
Ethan listened to Wish's answer and fought his knee jerk reaction to insist that he could seem them too. He hated to feel left out but it would be pointless to lie about something so easily proven wrong. "Oh cool." he mumbled instead. There was a part of him that was curious as to how someone...
Ethan felt like he had blinked and the year was over. But he couldn't say he was sad about that. He was eager to get home and see his sister. It was still hard to think about his mom and the last letter she had sent him. But it had been a turning point for him. He finally let himself settle into...
Ethan struggled a little under the weight of the bucket of feed he was carrying but he set it down and offered Wish a half-hearted wave once she greeted him back. He stood with his hands on his hips as he started into the forest in front of him letting his eyes go unfocused as if that would make...
Ethan couldn't believe how quickly the semester had gone but he couldn't say it was a bad one. He was excited for break and to get exams over with and his apparition exam was the first step. He waited to be called by the instructor, his last name was towards the beginning so he didn't have to...
