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. How Ezra wished they had permission to watch more than one movie. Monsters Inc. sounded like more fun than the ride at Gringotts. Set in another realm according to Etta - that appealed so much to the young and impressionable boy. The few films he had watched at his uncles house had the ability to draw you in take you to an entirely new world. It was muggle magic for sure.
OH YES! Etta was one hundred percent correct! It was called a DVD player. “You're such a fountain of knowledge, Etta.” He giggled. He knew deep down that this was a friendship his father would want to discourage.. but Ezra was a master at burying such thoughts deep down and living in the now. Out of sight, out of mind. So far, he had managed to block out that negativity and make his own decisions and conclusions about life. He took after his favourite uncle in that respect. “What does DVD stand for? I think there's 'disk' in there.” Hmm..
He grinned at the encouraging applause from his friend and gave a little bow in response. “That was much easier than casting some charms.” He mused. He watched closely as she pressed the play button and the movie sprang into life on the screen. He stood mesmerized for a good few moments before joining Etta and sinking into a comfy chair.
He sat with his snacks, his attention averting from the screen to Etta who had made a footrest extend from the chair. He pulled the lever and sure enough, footrest! “When did school become so brilliant?” He asked rhetorically. He got comfortable and sipped on his slushie and ate some popcorn. This was normal for muggles. How could anyone not admire what they could do?
His eating ceased as the movie got going and he became engrossed in screen. He jumped when Casper appeared on screen and then smiled. The ghost looked nothing like the Hogwarts haunters. He was cute and cartoon-like and did, indeed, look very friendly. He chuckled as the boys ran from the ghost. “Poor ghost.” He whispered to his movie buddy. “I hope he makes some friends.”
