Hogwarts RPG Name: Henrietta J. Han Slytherin Fourth Year Gryffindor | SPOILER!!: Ezra <33 Quote:
Originally Posted by noodles How Ezra wished they had permission to watch more than one movie. Monsters Inc. sounded like more fun than the ride at Gringotts.

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.” Etta would definitely be keeping Monster’s Inc. in mind as her friend did seem quite interested in the film when he observed the tape earlier. Very observant the youngling was. Which got her in a lot of trouble (albeit for the most innocent of reasons) in the past, but it also gave her an advantage when recalling details both big and small.
Henrietta giggled at Ezra’s compliment, she admittedly enjoyed learning and researching as much as she could. Sometimes without reason, just to fulfill her curiosity of the world. If she weren’t so shy during lessons, the youngling would most definitely be asking a plethora of questions to quench her thirst for knowledge. After all, like her grandmother once told her: knowledge is power.As for the acronym for DVD, the youngling tapped her chin with her fingertip.”Hmm, I’m not quite sure.” Etta was stumped.”You’re brilliant! It makes sense.”She smiled, her friend was very intelligent!”Then perhaps the V stands for video and the other D stands for device or maybe digital?” Maybe something along those lines, Etta figured.
Watching her friend experience the thrill of muggle magic (if you will) brought so much joy to youngling! Another giggle as Etta nodded in agreement, this was certainly very entertaining and fun! She wondered if every muggle lesson would be like this in the future because she had a long list of movies to dive into and share with Ezra.“This is so much fun!” She mused.
Etta looked over at Ezra when he jumped a little, concerned the movie might be too scary for her friend but his smile was a relief. Etta shifted her attention to Ezra when he whispered.”I don’t want to spoil the movie but…” The youngling cryptically smirked.
As the movie progressed Etta squinted her eyes a bit. Either her astigmatism was getting worse or it was simply the low quality of the graphics. Her eyes narrowed and her jaw clenched at the displeasure she felt during the scene where Casper’s three mean uncles humiliated the poor ghost boy during breakfast and made him clean after them. ”Those meanies.” Etta whispered and frowned. But the frown didn’t last long because her smile grew once the female lead, Kat, stood up for Casper. Kat was amazing! |
