Ethan wrapped his fingers tightly around Minnie's as she got to her feet, his eyes locked on to hers as she froze staring at that plant. "I'd think that was a good idea," he began in response to her comment about cutting off a slice. "Except after seeing it take Burbage away, I'm afraid that would anger it.." And he didn't want to think about it coming after her. "I just think we should get away from it and find Bentley.. or the Headmistress." Because he heard that she knew a thing or two about plants too.

And the n his head turned as Minerva was speaking to someone else.. Sutton, was it? What was that girl doing? Ethan's eyes widened in horror as the girl made her way towards the plant, to be bait herself or something. He was about to call to her when that older Puff, Ed, beat him to it.. Thankfully that boy had some sense about him.

As Minnie tried to talk some sense into her friend, another voice made him turn.. this one he sort of knew.. "Nell," he called softly over to the girl, who was visibly angry, so as not to startle the plant with any loud noises. "We need to get inside.. we all do," he added, with a significant glance to the reckless Puff girl. He still had his wand elevated in his grip, but he wasn't chancing angering that plant and making anyone its next meal - not when that girl was so close.
