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.
Ezra did feel awfully ignorant when it came to things muggle, but he had studied a lot and had his uncle to help him when he didn't understand something. Etta, however, was in a different league - one of the best tutors he had encountered. Her patience and willingness to share her knowledge put the Ravenclaw at ease and he didn't feel stupid not knowing things and asking her. Of course, being purebloood himself, he would be ecstatic to return the favour with things magical that she didn't understand.

Video Home system. Again, he made a mental note of that should he ever need it in the real world.. which did seem unlikely, but was good to know!

Oh no, Etta was having problems with her eyes. “Do you want me to pause the film? Maybe the dimmed lights are making it worse.” Perhaps his friend needed glasses. “I hope you're not getting sick. We could go to the hospital wing after this if you want.”

Casper and Kat were amazing friends. The way they looked out for each other resembled Ezra's friendship with Etta, he thought. He had a big smile on his face when Etta whispered that she wanted to fly. “I love to fly! It's my favourite thing. I can show you how if you like.”
