A musty old closet under near the grand staircase contains brooms, mops, and various other cleaning supplies, including that amazing soap and softener from last term's laundry days. So maybe somebody should make use of them!

She was also surprised when Ethan still hadn't let go of her hand, even though she was blushing, thank Merlin.
But there was something strange she picked up on, Ethan was looking at her, but it wasn't just that...it was more like...he was doing what one of those heroic characters in her novel did when he was finally reunited with his long lost love after rescuing her from the wretched wizard who planned to keep her to himself forever. The word she was looking for was admiring. It was like Ethan was admiring her & when she had realized that, her face was beginning to feel warmer than before.
....Drats..
Nevertheless, Ethan was not telling her why he was hiding in the broom closet & it absolutely made sense now, a quiet place to read. She nodded with a soft smile, "T-That makes sense...A-And then I-I had to come & disrupt your s-secret space..." She felt the need to apologize to him again, but refrained from seeing as to how she had already done so...multiple times.
Now, what was she doing here?
...She knew she couldn't say it...
Josette cleared her throat & tried to think of something to say. "U-Um...I-I was...just....f-feeling a bit....w-warm...." Right? "I-I thought I may faint or possibly swoon....S-So I thought perhaps the u-um...broom closet was a-a place I could rest a m-moment..."
Mhmm, that was her story...and that's what she was sticking with. There was no way he would figure out she was blushing at the thought of him. Right?
...Right?
Things! He got so many things to tell her, but he was too lost in the moment. Ethan was too distracted at how gentle and fragile Josie seemed, and he felt the need to protect her. The thing is, he’s clueless about the dangers, or the worries that revolves around the Ravenclaw.
And...reveal his secret space? Well, no she got it wrong!
Ethan chuckled. “Oh, don’t worry about it. We can share the secret, right? I mean...if you need a quiet place to be alone...you can use it too. I won’t mind.” Not that he owns it, but Hogwarts life is tough. Everyone needs a down time once in a while. Besides, ahem, it’s Josie, so she’s an exception. “I’d love to share it with you really.” LOL, Broom Closet? How romantic, Ethan Mordaunt.
The smile faded away from Ethan’s face. Wait, she’s sick?! “But...you’re okay now, yes?” he asked as he looked at the hallway nearby. She was feeling sick, and had to take refuge in a broom closet. She shouldn’t be worried though, because the Slytherin was there to save the day! Then it hit him. Of course! The Masquerade Ball! Well, they are not required to have a date, but it sure won’t hurt to ask Josie out, right? Ethan’s sure that she’ll enjoy it! “Uhm...right. There’s something I wanted to ask you...” he started as he fished out the invitation he got from their notice board and gave it to Josie. “May I have the pleasure of your company, mademoiselle?”
Too bad, Gregoire was not there anymore to cheer him on with his French...

Josette smiled when Ethan had told her that they could share the secret of this broom closet with one another. Come to think of it, it really did look like the perfect place to get away for a moment to....relax...or hide until your face doesn't feel warm anymore. Mhm, now that she had discovered it, she would probably be using it more often. But, according to Ethan, it seemed that they had come to an agreement & she smiled before nodding, "I-It's a deal.."
But she suddenly became slightly worried when she had seen Ethan's smile fade. Seeing his concern after she had given him her reason for hiding in the broom closet, she felt terrible for coming up with that scenario. "M-Mhm..I-I'm alright...Promise.." She watched as he looked at the hallway nearby & then looked as if he had just remembered something, which caused her to stay quiet for the moment.
He had something to ask her?
.....
Josette could feel her face getting warm yet again & she was mentally freaking out, not sure how to calm herself this time. She bit her lip nervously as she anxiously waited for him to find what he was looking for in his pocket & then was suddenly looking at a piece of parchment. She wasn't sure what it said, but just then she saw the word Masquerade on it & her mind had immediately made sense of it! The Masquerade Ball that was going to be taking place!
.....And Ethan was apparently asking for the pleasure of her company?
She blinked & froze briefly before she replied in her nervous tone, "U-Um...A-Alright..." A small smile was seen across her lips, yet at the same time she couldn't help but wonder what her father would say if he were here at this very moment. The fourteen year old figured he certainly wouldn't have been happy about it & would not allow Josette to even attend a Masquerade most likely at the risk of being around anonymous strangers in masks. Although, these strangers would be her classmates, so technically they're not really strangers? Right?
...So she wouldn't really be in any dangers, right?

“Everything’s okay then.” See? There’s nothing to be worried or scared about. Ethan was more than happy to share his secret space with her. What’s making the boy worry is that...well, he may come off as too loud...or too inquisitive for her, even. The Slytherin just wants her to feel secure around him..which he obviously needs to work on..
OH YES! She said okay, so...Josie’s her date now, yes? Ethan mirrored the smile on her lips, and again, was not convinced that she was entirely game about the event. “Uhm...Jo? You do want to go, right? I mean...if you were meaning to go with someone else...?” He was the first to ask her right? Right?
Oh man, oh maaaaaaaaaan.

"Everything's okay...H-Honest.." She nodded again to let him know she was in fact alright. Josette couldn't help but feel like he was being very...caring about her...her well-being. It wasn't like how her father was with her, it was more like that heroic character again in her novel, right before he proclaimed his love to his maiden fair.
Josette blinked a little surprised when he was suddenly asking her if she did in fact want to go at all? And then had asked if she was meant to go with someone else. She quickly shook her head no before quickly replying, "O-Oh..N-NO, I-I'm mean, n-no one else had a-asked me to go..." She nodded, "Y-You were the first p-person to ask me...T-The only..person who a-asked..." OH. "A-And...I-I'd really like to go...w-with you..." The Ravenclaw smiled before nodding.

Ethan has to stop being paranoid, really. Josie might feel that he’s invading her own personal space, and freak her out. Her response though, was more than enough, and the Slytherin must put faith in her words that everything is a-okay.
...
The sixteen year old is well aware that he should BEHAVE and act like a proper young man, but the excitement that was building up inside his chest was threatening to escape from his mouth with a squeal. “Don’t squeak. DON’T. SQUEAK.” It’s hard y’know? There’s his crush, smiling at him and at the same time being beautiful...telling him that SHE wants TO GO OUT with him.
Merlin, can’t they fast forward the day to the Masquerade Ball??? That reminds him, he needs to check right away if his cousin’s parcel arrived in time. He needed a decent set of clothing, and he was thankful that he asked Mordred to pick it out for him. His fashion sense when it comes to formal gatherings is pretty off. “Okay.” Ethan smiled widely at Josie and offered her his arm. “Let’s meet at the Grounds around six in the evening?” he asked grinning as he started to walk with her...

The fourth year could only smile, even though there were about a thousand thoughts racing through her mind at the moment. But she was trying her very best to hide any sign of panic on her face, in fear that she might make Ethan worry again. And she knew she certainly didn't want that to happen again.
She watched as he offered her his arm & she histated only for a second, before she slowly linked her arm with his. This caused her to blush only a bit, but she smiled nodding. "The g-grounds at s-six in the evening.." Still smiling, she began walking with him, all the while still thinking about too many things at once.
....Mainly having to do with what she was going to wear...
