Ethan glanced around the crowd, first noting Mick, who seemed as confused as he was. He was glad he seemed alright though and gave him a grim smile, as he thought he may have bumped into him on the stairs as they were both being pulled out of the dorm. Then.. Oh, good, the Claw leaders are here. He figured the prefects would know what to do.. But they didn't know what was going on.. they hadn't even been inside to be thrown out.

As some of the others let them know what had happened, Ethan didn't feel the need to echo them.. he was just trying to sort things out. It annoyed him when things didn't make sense and he couldn't make sense of this. His eyes snapped to Spike as he spoke.. a camp out. The fifth year nodded to himself as it seemed like a pretty good idea. The younger ones seemed a bit apprehensive and this would be a fun distraction.

The boy chuckled as Mick began singing. The song sounded oddly familiar.. but he wasn't sure if he had heard it before. Seemed easy enough to pick up though.. "Start again," he told Mick with a grin as he took a seat next to him. "I'll sing along with you.. or try to." He glanced back at the little jarful of fire and caught a glimpse of Eliza out of the corner of his eye. She looked a little scared. "Eliza.." he called over to her, suddenly feeling like a protective older brother or something. "Come sit over here," he said, gesturing to a space near them. Hopefully they wouldn't have to sit out here too long, but they could make the most of it while they did. And one of the prefects would be getting Professor V, right? He would surely know what to do...
