And his lack of sleep was quite apparent from the bags under his eyes.
"Morning Professor," he mumbled as he walked past, vaguely aware of her presence. He didn't really notice how awful she looked.. he felt much like a walking inferi as he trudged through the room. Also not really noticing if there were any familiar faces in the class as he was too exhausted to pay that much attention to that kind of thing, Ethan took the nearest empty seat, unaware of who he was sitting next to.
The boy really needed a good night's sleep.. and he was contemplating brewing another potion after class for that purpose. His eyes focused on some distant point at the edge of the classroom, not seeing what was written on the board. If he had seen it, he was sure he wouldn't have liked it.
Minerva was getting out her parchment and was thinking about the words on the board. Would they really be making this potion. Then she noticed someone sitting down near her. She looked up to smile, but her smile got bigger when she realized who it was. Looking at the front of the room students were still coming in to the class, so maybe she could say a quick Hi, but then she noticed Ethan looked upset or exhausted.
Was he sick? Maybe something was wrong. She bit her lip trying to figure out what could be wrong or if she should say anything. Finally she leaned over and whispered, "You okay Ethan?" she sat up and just looked over at him hoping he was okay.
