It was from Simon.

Ethan do have a lot of friends, and he was that kind of person whom they can depend on, but an owl from Simon that was sent at an ungodly hour was enough for the blond agent to get out of bed to read his letter. Ethan turned the parchment over in his hand, and even performed a spell on it to see if it had a secret message, but to no avail. Just an invitation to meet Simon at Godric's Hollow, in front of the statue of the Potters, and it did sound urgent.

It was convenient that Josie's sisters were still with them, busy catching up with their little sister, so leaving was not a problem. And with the recent shared history between Ethan, Josie, and Simon, showing up when the best friend needed him most was the least he could do. Merlin knows how much he owed the guy.

It didn't take long for Ethan to get dressed and be ready, but it took him a good while to say goodbye to Josie and Liam-- the downside of a long parental leave is that one gets homesick easily. But anyway, Ethan was not going to let Simon down. He was after all family, too.

A moment later, a quiet pop was heard nearby, and the blond agent was careful to keep himself hidden in the shadows... something that he's learned over the years, thanks to his endless trainings. As soon as he's spotted Simon putting on his gloves at the designated rendezvous point, Ethan took a quick sweep of the place and took a turn to approach his best friend turning up his collar. It really was getting colder.

"I can tell from your nervous look that you've got something rather ominous up your sleeve." Ethan spoke quietly to keep the peace of the village, and so as not to spook Simon. With his boyish grin plastered on his face, the blond agent clapped Simon's back in greeting. Ethan did another sweep of the place with his ice blue eyes, taking in the rather quiet village they were in. "Must be super important," he added, as he now eyed Simon's clothing. "Yes, I suppose it is, seeing you're in your uniform. Shouldn't you be back in France?" the new term has already started, and he was, so far, getting school updates from Hogwarts. Nothing serious for now, just, lots of complaints from his first cousin Noah.
He was glad that he had gloves to protect the crisp nip of the autumn air from seeping into his very being. Folding his arms, he cast his glacial eyes upon the Potters becoming lost in a menagerie of inexplicable thoughts all weaved together. His mind was moving too quickly. He heard the leaves rustling near him. Was someone there?

Hearing Holmes' voice made him jump a little. He had expected his mate a few moments later but he was touched how quickly Ethan had come to his urgent call. He clasped his mate's hand and clapped his back returning the greeting from Ethan. As he clapped his friend's back, he could have sworn he heard another noise which made his eyes narrow. Unsheathing his wand, he pointed right to the left of Mordaunt to cast a non-verbal Homenum Revelio and pointed to the bushes that rustled. Nothing happened. He slipped his wand away and sighed. "Must be the paranoia setting in," he mused. He had found himself to be less trustworthy of people ever since the events last year around the Wizarding World.

"It is," he said in response to Ethan's comment about the nature of their conversation being super important. He cast a non-verbal Muffliato before turning back to his mate. "Shall we walk?" It was perhaps best to act a little natural by going for a walk. Simon had a feeling that the two would draw some attention. "Yes, I should but it couldn't wait. Had to pop over the channel and wake you up," teased Simon as he shoved both of his gloved hands into their respective pockets. He breathed out, noting that he could start to see his own breath. Merlin's beard. He felt every autumn was starting to get chillier and chillier. "Yes, school has begun again and we're trying to start to make small amends... so much trust has been lost over the course of the past year. I'm afraid that we'll never get it back..." How could they even look at their student body after what had happened? Of course, complying was the only option as resistance was futile. "I... I think I may need your help with a few rumors that I heard of concerning this Alliance that threatened us last year. I have a sneaking suspicion that they are not gone... we are far from it."
