Hogwarts RPG Name: Henrietta J. Han Slytherin Fourth Year Gryffindor | SPOILER!!: Ezra! ^_^ Quote:

She was a supportive friend indeed. He remembered seeing a DVD for the first time and thinking how pretty it was the way it reflected and shone, catching the light with a spectrum of colours. Video! Yes! Etta was right. He made a mental note of that in case they had to write an essay on what they did today. “And recorder I think. I don't know what the C stands for. Or the H S.” Hmm.. Perhaps he should have done some research in advance.
He got really really comfortable in the soft and squishy chair with big armrests and now a footrest. If Etta hadn't been here, he would be peering under the chair to get a good look at the mechanics, but he didn't want to look like a weirdo. Perhaps he would linger when the film was finished and take a peek. He munched his popcorn and took another slurp of his slushie which was beginning to melt in the warm theatre.
A glance at Etta when she whispered and he nodded and smiled in response, pleased to hear Casper wasn't doomed to be forever alone. He would have been oblivious to her squinting at the screen had he not looked at her. “Are you okay?” He asked concerned. “Do you have a headache?” A potion would zap that away in an instant. But his eyes went back to the screen with a start. A confrontation between Kat, her father and the uncles. The blinds opened and the three uncles flinched, and then began to melt dramatically into the the floor when sunlight hit them. Ezra gasped horrified, then shuddered. As bad as they were, they didn't deserve such a terrible fate! “Oh..” He didn't think this film was going to be nightmare fuel.
But woe and behold, it turned out to be a trick and Ezra relaxed again, back to nomming on popcorn. He grew more comfortable as the film progressed. Nothing else unsettled him in the same way and he began to lose himself in the story. Etta was really enjoying herself, this was by far very relaxing and enlightening. The youngling was thriving, sharing her knowledge of muggle artifacts and lingo to pair with Ezra. His enthusiasm was reassuring, she didn’t want to bore him or overwhelm him with information. Muggle technology was indeed very interesting and fun! Of course she could probably say the same for magical gadgets she still wasn’t very familiar with, which she really wanted to dive into and experience the inventions and creativity of both worlds. She was eager to connect with the magical part of herself that needed a lot of research. As for the vhs, she had some knowledge of it and didn’t mind discussing and sharing. ”I think VHS stands for video home system? I think.” She could have sworn she read it in her grandmother’s old VHS manual a couple years back.
The youngling also settled comfortably in her seat as she munched on her snacks and almost finished her slushie. As she finished the cold drink Etta shivered a bit from the cold and crossed her arms to keep herself warm as she enjoyed the movie.
Etta turned to Ezra and nodded, ”My eyes feel fuzzy.” She rubbed her eyes and smiled. Could be the film’s quality but she would take one for the team. Etta would make a mental note to inform her sister about possibly needing glasses just to be sure it was her sight and not the film. Shaking her head Etta smiled once again, ”I’m okay.” She reassured Ezra. He was so kind, she felt lucky to have a friend like him.
As the film progressed when Casper’s mischievous uncles poked fun at Kat’s grieving father’s jubilance to see his wife (who perished) once again, Etta frowned and shook her head. That was not very nice. But then Etta’s frown turned upside down when Kat attended her first day at the new school and Casper lingered in the background. A smirk formed on Etta’s lips when Casper tied Kat’s classmates' shoelaces together after the popular girl was being rude and unwelcoming. It was agreed that the Halloween party would be taking place in Kat’s haunted house and her classmates tripped when they stood up, causing Etta to cover her mouth as she giggled. The youngling found Casper’s eagerness and plea to Kat to allow him to attend the party, adorable and sad. The ghost boy understood why he couldn’t attend but he wanted to feel involved and possibly make more friends, something that resonated with Etta. When Casper went full superman mode and dragged Kat out of her room, flying her to the lighthouse nearby Etta smiled and nonchalantly whispered, ”I want to fly.”Afraid of height she was, but wanted to try it anyways. |
