"Doing really well, thanks," he said cheerfully as he slid into the seat and set his sandwiches and drinks down at the table. Summer was great.. certainly not as packed as the year before, but that was fine. His girlfriend was doing so much better and they were having a nice, relaxing summer together before they both went off to school in September.
Hippogriff? Ethan inclined his head, squinting his eyes a bit to try to catch sight of one of those. Oh.. wasn't there a mechanical one he had passed on his way here? "No.. haven't done that yet," he said looking back at Wade again. "We've only done the carousel so far.. Rode a dragon there," he added with a grin. That was officially the best one to this former Ravenclaw. "Yeah.. there really is. We actually just got here not long ago.. I haven't been to a festival like this one in years." His nostalgic smile made it apparent that he was reliving some childhood memories.
Ethan listened a bit as the other boy touched on some summer highlights so far. "Sounds like you've been having a great summer.. What's Disney like?" He had heard about it before, but never actually been there. Might have to be one of those places to visit one day. And and internship sounded cool.. especially at a place like QQS. "Working at the Quidditch shop.. sweet. I'll have to come in to buy something and put you to work," he joked. "No, that's cool.. I did an internship at the Owl Post Office a couple summers ago.. But this summer is a bit more relaxing. I did busy the last two, I just want to enjoy it before Uni." Not that he didn't enjoy the last couple, they were fun-filled.. this was just a different kind of enjoyment, he supposed. "Just doing stuff with Min around Heidelberg and working in my greenhouse.. there's a castle festival I want to take her to next week.."
As Wade saw Ethan approaching, he could see the many bundles he was carrying. "
That's a lot of stuff you got there." It was really no biggie for Wade to make some room for him and his food and gifts. So Ethan hasn't ridden the hippogriff yet, "
It's a little hard adjusting, but it's like riding a broom once you get the hang of it." He beamed since it was truth stuff, after all. Oh, we? Guess that means him and Minnie mouse. "
The dragon?" His brows furrowed as thoughts went to the rumoured nickname of their Potions Professor Lafay. Hehe, cue reason for Wade trying
not to imagine the thought. "
That sounds cool, me and Indy haven't gone on the carousel yet. Just spent time petting the animals in the little zoo area." Especially the cute and fluffy llamas. Wade tilted his head slightly as it looked like Ethan was experiencing some nostalgia. "
I know exactly what you mean.. Some of my favorite ones were at the old beach I use to go to before moving."
Honestly, to Wade this has been the best summer ever. Even more so, the real fun was just beginning before school started. He smiled when asked about Disney, "
It's massive.. I bet a couple Hogwarts schools could fit itself in there with there being so much to do. There are a lot of rides, water parks.. oh, and some mascots running about there.. they make our onesie pjs seem like water wear." Ethan putting Wade to work, heh. That was funny to him, as he laughed before replying, "
It's not bad, work out-wise, since they have me doing the labour moving and unpacking the boxes of supplies before stocking them." Hmm? The Owl Post. "
Oh yeah? How was it, That was actually one of the shops I was thinking of applying at." Not that Wade was regretting where he was Interning at. On contrary, he kind of liked the grunt work, and was merely curious on how things were ran there. Even brighter side to working was the appreciation on relaxing. "
Yeah.. it's only fitting that we get another chance to have some fun before school." As bittersweet as that was.
