"Well thank you, I hope I can do as well as you think." She always felt good on the amount of confidence others had in her, now if she had the confidence in herself as well. This experience was hopefully going to help her with that as well.
Then she looked curiously as Ethan said about an owl and seeing his grin get bigger Minerva just knew he had great news and then he did. Hugging him this time Minerva couldn't hold in the excitement and bounced a bit.
"That's awesome Ethan. This is just going to be the best summer. I can't wait for all the plans and all the fun." She let him out of the hug and smiled.
"So you said you will stay with your Aunt then or was it grandfather?" She was trying to remember, either way he would be close and that's all that mattered to her.
She then heard a knock on the window and turned, oh it was Mick. Smiling she waved for him to come in. It might be fun to sit with him and Laura, but then she saw him look away and then mouth something about being next door. Hmmm maybe Laura was not wanting to sit with them or maybe he found another person. Minerva smiled and gave him an okay then turned back towards Ethan.

His first year at a real school (even though he's a fifth year) is officially over. Last summer, his father and aunt agreed that if he didn't like it, he can go back to being home-schooled. For the first few months, that option may have been possible. But now, Mick cannot wait for the following term. It's all good.
After a few minutes of looking around and not finding Laura at the front, he shrugged his shoulders and continued further down the middle of the train; not too many people but still kind of lively. Mick went by a comparment with two familiar faces and knocked on the window, waving to Ethan and Minnie. Tempting it was to sit with them; but as he adjusted one of the straps of his favorite old backpack, he saw someone sitting alone with a kitty.
Kitty! Kitty! Kitty! He has a unconditional love for kitties.
Mick turned to his friends and mouthed that he'll be next door; he felt like hanging out with someone new for a bit before he'll join them. And she's got a kitty. He turned to the other compatrment and knocked on the window before sliding the door open a little bit. "Excuse me? Mind if I take a seat?" he asked the girl.
Ethan put his arms around Minnie again as she hugged him. He thought she might be as excited as he was to find out that little piece of information.
"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to summer now, I think it's going to be great." And now that they both had their plans finalized, it looked like they might be able to see each other as often as they did now. Pulling back, he listened to her question and nodded.
"Well, yeah.. both actually. It's my grandfather's house.. but my aunt moved back in a few months ago. He's really sick and needs some extra help." His features clouded over briefly before hearing a knock at their window which made him turn his head.
Oh it was Mick.. Ethan smiled and waved back, then watched curiously as he mouthed something about next door and kept walking. He wasn't going to sit with them? That was okay for a little while, he supposed.. he certainly wouldn't mind a some alone time with his girlfriend. But he would have to find him at some point. They had things to talk about.
Turning back to Minnie, Ethan rummaged through his messenger bag and pulled out a Reese's peanut butter cup. He still had a few left from the package she had sent him.
"Do you want one?" he asked as he tore open the package, still getting a kick out of the fact that there were two to a package. He stuck his hand in his pocket then pulled out the metal badger she had lent him a few weeks. Holding it out to her, he said,
"I should return this to you.. Thanks for letting me borrow it. Just the extra bit of luck I needed, I think."
Sitting back in his seat, the boy took a bite of the candy. So good.. Chocolate and peanut butter was just the best combination ever. He savored the candy for a moment before turning back to Minerva.
"So.." he began with the hint of a mischievous grin.
"I'm pretty sure I promised to give you something else.."
