SPOILER!!: Ethan

Thankfully Ethan caught her feeling and decided to move on as well. "Herbology? I missed the first lesson." She was still a little embarrassed at how lost she was when she first got her schedule. She was lucky she'd made it to any of her lessons at all. She definitely planned on making it to the second one though, and hopefully catching up on the homework in the meantime. She was curious so she asked, "What did you do in class? She was pleased that he asked her in return and thought about it for a moment. "Well, I think Charms is really neat, but class was a little intense." She shivered as she thought back to the whipping winds and hard rain they'd all experienced that day. "I still reckon it's really good to learn though!" She wanted to ask another question without acting like a complete first year, but she couldn't help it. She didn't know anything and wanted to know everything. She pushed forward in the conversation and said, "I'm really interested in Ancient Runes too, but I don't know much about it. Have you taken it before?" She hoped he was as much of a studious Ravenclaw type as she was and wouldn't be bothered by all the class questions.

He nodded skeptically, he could tell it wasn't true - those bright red cheeks were a dead giveaway - but if she didn't want to tell him what was really going on, then perhaps it was something personal that wasn't his business. He wouldn't pry any further. The fifth year shifted uncomfortably in his seat and opened his mouth to change the subject or relieve the tension... when Cora began to confess the truth. Oh.. Ethan's eyes widened slightly and his face fell a bit. Her father.. died? The fifteen year old felt really bad - not so much in pity, though he did feel some sympathy for the girl... but more for putting her on the spot when she obviously didn't want to share that. "Look, Cora... I'm really sorry," he began, he had only been concerned for her well-being and didn't mean to make her feel worse. "Of course we don't have to talk about that..." He glanced over at Elliot as she shared his sentiments... only in a much different tone. He contemplated what that might mean for a moment when he heard her next words and frowned. That sounded like something his mother would say. He could not say he agreed with lying... but he sorta understood why the younger girl did it. But maybe she could have handled it differently.. or just left it up to Cora. It didn't really matter now though, and he could tell Eliza felt very uncomfortable, especially under Elliot's scrutiny. As she kept apologizing, Ethan said, "Hey... don't worry about it." Best to just change the subject... and Eliza seemed to be trying to do so as she asked them about their classes. "Herbology's always been my favorite... anything you like yet?" he asked the first year. The first year at school always seemed to be the most overwhelming. Transfiguration? He took one look at Elliot's smirk and chuckled. Homework had definitely proved to be interesting... Thankfully Ethan caught her feeling and decided to move on as well. "Herbology?
