Oh well.. There was more to life than house points.

Much more.

Like spending time with your amazing friends and watching movies and eating snacks.

He beamed at Etta offering to tutor him in the ways of muggle technology. He gazed at the other movies on offer – a vast selection. It was a real shame they were only able to watch one, but Ezra had no doubt that Etta's choice would be a good one. He pulled out one of the movies Etta had suggested he might watch, 'Monsters Inc'. The art work used on the boxes of the tapes was imaginative and colourful and modern. He slid it back into the shelf where he'd found it and averted his attention back to the VCR. “My uncle has a movie player but it takes these shiny disks instead. They slide in and spin around really fast inside the machine and a laser reads them!” Ezra's eyes went wide. How clever was that!?

With Etta's suggestion, he pressed the button with the arrows to rewind the tape. The tape didn't take long to get right back to the beginning. “Do you want to do the honours and press play?” He stood back for Etta, not wanting to let his excitement allow him to take over things completely.


Etta’s lips curled into a bashful smile, she indeed was feeling her best in the movie-inspired outfit. Heck, she might (internally) agree to points for her effort in channeling a movie character. Heh.

A real shame indeed! Etta took a moment to inspect the abundance of films at their disposal, glancing over at Ezra once he pulled out ‘Monster’s Inc.’ the youngling beamed! It was a fantastic comfort film filled with laughter and adventure. Etta quickly picked up what Ezra was putting down in terms of the disk playing movie player. ”Ah! I believe it’s called a ‘DVD’ player.” Etta confidently nodded even though she wasn’t familiar with its technical term, but recognized what it was. Muggle technology has come a long way since its early days many, many years ago!

Hearing the click the VCR made to indicate the film was rewound, Etta beamed and excitedly clapped her hands, ”Brilliant, Ezra!” She cheered on her friend. Afterwards, the youngling nodded and stepped closer to the console to press ‘play’. Henrietta’s eyes lit when the opening tune of the film played upon its startup. ”Let’s go sit!” The youngling cheerfully shuffled to her seat.

Etta moved her popcorn onto her lap and noticed a lever on the side of the leather chair? Curiously she pulled it and the footrest extended a little.”Pull the lever, Ezra.” For a better movie experience! Now comfortable in her seat with her snacks and slushie the youngling smiled as she watched the opening credits to the film.

The film starts with a pair of young boys entering the haunted mansion to snap a picture when suddenly, who do you know shows up, Casper the friendly ghost! The adorable ghost volunteers to snap the picture for them, as the pair seemed to argue on who would take the picture. The boys, frightened by the friendly ghost (poor Casper did his best to not come off as menacing), react in a hilarious screech as Casper clicks the camera’s button and takes the photo before the boys book it out of there.

Etta GIGGLED! One of her many favorite scenes.
