Well, that was fair since Ethan was already seventh year when the former Gryffindor came to Hogwarts. "Hey!!! Ethan, right?" How could she forget this guy? Back when she was a first year, Ava knew some seventh year students since some of them were her sister's close friends. "It's me, Ava Burton."She mentioned her name and probably the former Slytherin would remember. "I'm Z's little sister... Gryffindor, and I was a firstie when you were on your last year. Okay, that was more specific. Still not remembered, Ah okay...

"I don't know that you also work for Ministry, by the way." Ava said. Was he also working for Magical Law Enforcement? But she didn't remember seeing him back when she had the internship.... Ah, probably he wasn't there yet. While having a conversation with Ethan, there was a man (Conley) offering them (or probably just Ethan lol) to share lift together. "Is there any room left?" She asked.
"Ava Burton. Burton. AVA!" Ethan's eyes lit up at the realization and gave her a half-hug. He would've given her the full bear hug one if it wasn't for his snowboard. "This is so weird. You look grown up when I left you guys in Hogwarts this small," he said leveling his hand with his waist. "HOW is everyone? Zhenya? Teddy? Tell me all the things!" The former Slytherin said excitedly, totally forgetting that he will likely bump into old friends and acquaintances he'd left when he graduated from good old Hoggies. And just when they were getting into a good conversation, Ava had to lightly ruffle his ego. "Hey Burton, I'm not that bad you know. Quite unexpected, but yes, I do work for the Ministry now...fighting real baddies if you know what I mean." Ethan was, as his usual, talking a hundred miles per second. "Living my dream as our community's living and breathing Sherlock Holmes." he continued, giving her a playful wink. "You though. YATI now I see." Ethan said nodding in approval. Of course he knew about it. It was an MLE thing.

He had spent all Tuesday making sure his old skiing equipment was in good shape after he pulled it out of attic storage at his parent’s house. “How about you?”

Just then, two more people wandered up. One looked like as if he had been on the slops. Conley waved hello, one of his ski poles dangling from his wrist. “How’s the powder?” he asked the young man with the snow board.

“Share a lift?” Conley asked turning back to the first male. He motioning with a ski pole to an empty one that was beginning to swing around. ”I’m Conley, by the way.”

Just how cool is this place, yeah? Somebody spoke his language, snowboarding wise! Ethan turned and gave the man a 'sup nod and his mega-watt smile. "Powder is looking good up there. Quite fresh I suppose since it's early...and I haven't seen much people go downhill with their skis yet, so it's promising." People were wasting a good opportunity here. All skiers and snowboarders hunt for fresh snow since it offers the best surface to glide on. The fair-haired Mordaunt glanced at the person the guy addressed and gave him a 'sup nod too.

But instead he was greeted with the truth and he nodded in acceptance before returning the favor. “The same…can’t say I have much time for sking much.”

He followed his gaze to the approaching duo. “Hey,” Simon greeted Ethan, his fellow Law Enforcement member. The former Gryffindor offering a smile to the young woman who looked vaguely familiar. Had she been an intern? Sometimes trying to keep track of everyone for security reasons stretched his memory. “Sure…” he agreed, seeing as he wasn’t about to hog one all for his lonesome and he doubted his companion was the type to do so either. As for room for the other two…they could probably do it. “Perhaps."

“Nice to meet you,” the security man said as the lift stopped just long enough for them to get on. “I’m Simon.” Once he got settled on the lift, he got a better look at the new man and it was then that the name he’d been given started to make some sense to him. “Would that be Conley Phora?”

Since it was so fresh down here, he could only imagine what it would be like at the top of the hill. Or maybe it wasn’t fresh. Maybe most of the employees were hiding out in the lodge where they weren’t likely to break their necks. ”We just may need to get…comfortable with each other.”That was always how his mother had put it when people had to mush together.

Conley felt the lift jostle and jiggle a little as the four climbed on. “Nice to meet you, Simon.” If his hands hadn’t been clad in snow gloves and if ski poles hadn’t been dangling from his wrists, Conley would have shook the man’s hand. However, this strange event of an orientation didn’t really allow for the traditional methods of introductions and interactions. So, when in Rome….Conley sort of waved/saluted at Simon.

As the lift took off, the man asked him about his name. ”Aye,” he nodded in response to his name. ”I do hope my reputation hasn’t proceeded me,” he joked. In his experience, there was nothing worse than having to compete with a pre-conceived notion that people had about someone.
"Hallo," Ethan smiled at Simon and glanced back at the other man in their presence. He kept his mouth shut until they were on the lift, but when Simon inquired or confirmed who the man is, Ethan barked a laugh. "Go easy on him Simon. He's new." And they had been screened prior to admission so he was all good. "Nice to meet you, Conley. I'm Ethan, from Magical Law Enforcement." he then looked at Ava, who sat beside him and gave her a side nudge.
