He was going to be 19 early in November and still was in the first step of magical education. Of course, he was supposed to think of these before he failed a year then got kicked out of his previous school. Anyway, even a cat could not get out so how was he supposed to get out and see Aurora?
When the Ravie mentioned Quidditch, though, Rich forgot about all those and smirked. Sports always made him feel better. Took his mind away from unpleasant thoughts. ''Yeah, i play but this is not specifically for Quidditch.'' he said ''I worked as a model last summer and i intend to keep doing it so i need to remain fit all the time. Better than fit if that is possible.''
then surely he had heard it before.
Ethan...hmm. It was like he had heard that name before. He was a prefect
''Richard...'' Rich replied ''...known as Turner to some, my last name, and most call me Rich.'' Yeah, that was it. ''Nice to meet you, Ethan'' Eh...it was nice to make a guy friend other than Dylan, after all. And who else...Maxwell the idiot but the Slytherin did not consider that one a friend at all.
A cat that was a flirt? That made the boy chuckle ''I would enjoy seeing that.''
Pursing his lips slightly, Ethan nodded in agreement to the boy's words. That's exactly what it felt like at times - locked up like a prison. And being of age, he didn't think it was all that fair at times.
"You'd think for those of us that are actual adults, they'd at least let us come and go as we please, or even just a little more leeway.. Am I right?" He could certainly see keeping the younger ones in.. they were little kids and were prone to getting in all sorts of trouble. But once someone reached seventh year, did they really need to be treated the same as the little ones? He was 17 for Merlin's sake and a prefect meaning he was responsible for the younger ones. Wasn't he responsible enough to be trusted to go in to Hogsmeade and back on his own?
"It would really make things easier next year," he mused aloud with a sigh as he glanced at the front gate again. Then he could see Min every weekend instead of just designated ones.
He turned back to the Slytherin as he spoke, nodding a bit at his words. He was right.. the bloke was a Quidditch player and.. oh? He shrugged a little.
"It's good to be career-oriented, I think.. Good for you, mate," he smiled a little, knowing what it was like to pursue personal future interests.
"That's what you want to do when you're done here?" That was an interesting career choice, Ethan thought. Nothing that really interested him personally, but he found it interesting all the same, not really knowing any models.
"Good to meet you too, Rich.." he said, smiling a little bigger in a friendly sort of way. Nice to make the acquaintance of another bloke, he thought.. somehow most of his Hogwartian friends were girls.. He grinned and chuckled as the other boy did, shrugging a little.
"I don't know.. I'm sure she'd annoy you after a while," he said in regards to the cat. At least she annoyed Ethan when she acted like a boy magnet.. but maybe that was more because he was her owner and he didn't feel that was proper cat decorum.
"Maybe I'll introduce you if she ever turns up.." he added, still chuckling.
