Ethan grinned at Simon and got the pen he offered. Nodding, he wrote down all the important notes that he needed to know as quickly and as legibly as possible. He's very excited to go to the kitchens now, you know. Cooking, baking...it meant food. And this growing boy needs a good amount of...whatever it is that they are going to do.

He also took note of Professor Hadley's comment about his answer. That just made him miss his mother more. What's even sadder is the fact that she will never get to cook for her family anymore.

Ethan sighed to release the sad feeling in his chest, picked up his satchel and placed his notebook and Simon's pen inside it. The Slytherin stood up and slung his satchel on his shoulder and reached out to Simon. Boy, is he excited to get to the kitchen or what? Ethan shrugged and turned to where his Ravenclaw seatmate was sitting. "Er...Josette's your name, yeah?" The boy paused and selected his words carefully. She seemed to be very sensitive around people. "Sorry about earlier." For whatever it is that he did. "I'm Ethan." Hi. Hello. Again. "Come on, it's time to do some fun stuff!" Ethan grinned at the girl and followed the rest of the class to the kitchen.
