Ethan’s eyes widened as his professor tried his best to dust off and mend his notes. It was like his grandfather cleaning up after his mess...and that didn’t sit well with him. “Professor! Sir...look...really, it’s okay. You saved my notes, and that’s more than enough.” He said as he tried to stop the man, and gave him a nervous grin. “Honest.” See, he didn’t leave a bad impression on Ethan, but the Slytherin learned to be on guard next time. He simply cannot fault someone for being excitable, yeah? He himself is a ball of energy, so he totally understands the situation.
Merlin...surely this new professor is a Hufflepuff. He could totally sense some ex-Puffer vibe in him. But nonetheless, Ethan was still grateful. “Well, all that matters now is that I got them back, sir...and thanks to you.” See, everything’s fine. Only...well, yeah, he’d need to arrange EVERYTHING again so he could REVISE immediately.
And then...of course, there will be questions as to WHY he’s out on the bridge STUDYING. Well, he was neither interested in Herbology nor studying the subject for fun. “I’m preparing for my NEWTs, sir. It’s...well, one of my weakest subjects...” another pregnant pause, “...and the only way to get another O for it is to prepare for the exam this early.” He said, his face flushing in embarrassment. Merlin, Professor Myers would think he’s such a nerd, but honestly, he was doing it for honour.
Ethan bit his lip as he flipped through his messed up notes again. The situation was so awkward that he forgot something...
INTRODUCTIONS!
“Well now, it's so rude of me not to introduce myself,” plus the fact that he SCREAMED like a madman earlier, “I’m Ethan Mordaunt, seventh year Slytherin. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Professor Myers...despite what happened earlier.” Ehehehe...oops? Ethan stretched out his hand for a handshake.
Paul nodded a bit and stopped his dusting off....well....if the boy said it was fine, it was fine, right?
"You are so forgiving...I appreciate it." He smiled and was touched, to his soul.
The man looked out, leaning on the bridge a little as he did so. It was a crisp morning, and the fog...the fog was a swirling mess of grays and whites against the backdrop of the scenery. He appreciate the nature of it, and he appreciated the beauty. How lovely. He felt at peace, and as he looked back over at Ethan, he felt much better about the boy's notes. He wasn't mad, and Paul...was feeling more relaxed.
"One of your weaker subjects? Ahhh. Some people just...struggle in the subject." He could understand why...he wasn't someone who thought his favorite passion in the world was susceptible to everyone.
"But you can always come to me for extra help...." he sighed...and then smiled.
"A secret? Want to know a secret? I want you to get an O on your NEWT, too." He nodded.
"So....feel free to drop by the Greenhouses whenever you want to chat...or practice your hand with the plants...or whatEVER..."
Merlin.
He already cared so much ;__;
"Ah...well, it's a pleasure to meet you, too, Mr. Mordant. I can't wait to see you in class." He smiled.
"I have a lot of...great things planned for this term. And hopefully for...next term and....future terms in general." He would have hated to do all this work in the Greenhouses...and only stay for a term O_o What a waste!
