"Please.. forgive my rudeness," Ethan added with a friendly smile. He prided himself on being well-mannered.. and he certainly wasn't if his company was made to feel as if he wished to be elsewhere.

Beauxbatons.. Ethan leaned back in his seat and smiled wistfully, thinking about his former school. "I think I like Hogwarts.." he began, mulling that thought over. "Yeah, I do," he confirmed with a nod, "Maybe not as much as my old school, though." But to be fair, he had spent four years there and only three months here.. he was still getting used to the fact he had to go to a new school. "We certainly don't have as many classroom disruptions," he said with a chuckle, thinking of how nearly every class had a ghostly or elven appearance. "Is that a regular thing?" The boy gave Hannah a quizzical look. He certainly hoped not.. that would take plenty of getting used to. Not to mention the cold winters.. sure the snow is great for snowballs and skiing, but the boy didn't really care for it on a daily basis. "If you ever get the chance, you really should visit the South of France.. it's really beautiful. There's a private beach we used to visit on the weekend.." Sort of like their Hogsmeade weekend, he guessed. Eh.. now he was feeling all nostalgic and homesick.

Ethan then turned to face Hannah fully as it was her turn to offer something about herself. He nodded at a few points, then chuckled as she said her parents were strict. "Yeah.. I know what that's like," he said with a smirk, then listened as she continued. "Oh, all of them?" he asked lightly as Hannah mentioned her Slytherin family. He thought a lot of families ended up in the same houses, but not always. "I think I told you my mum was in Slytherin," he offered. "A lot of her side of the family was.. There were some Ravenclaws in there too though. My father went to Beauxbatons.." He thought for a moment then added, "His side were all Beauxbatons or Durmstrang.. I don't think any of my ancestors on his side went to Hogwarts." And now he was rambling. The boy quickly shut his mouth and smiled at Hannah to encourage her to continue.

And she had a fairly large family.. "Yeah.. I guess a bit removed from being an only," he said with a grin. "Do any of them go to school here?" He thought for a moment about her question. He never quite knew how to answer it as he didn't know any different than being an only child. "Well... I guess I get a lot of attention," he said with a chuckle. And that was a good thing and bad thing, he guessed. Bad because his parents were super-strict and he couldn't get away with much of anything.. good because he probably was a bit spoiled, if he would admit it. "I do have a few cousins my age," he felt the need to add. A lot of people assumed he had a lonely childhood without siblings.

Anything else? Oh yeah, he'd like to know plenty.. He felt like he had just gotten to the tip of the iceberg. Ethan slung his arm around the back of his chair and leaned into it. "So.. tell me what you like to do for fun.. What's there to do at Hogwarts?" Because so far he hadn't found all that much excitement here.. other than a few games that he didn't really play.

She looked like she might have gotten burned? Hannah had to try hard to fight the urge not to say so what? She was a big girl and could take care of herself. She wondered for a moment if he was this caring about everyone or if he had something going with this person in particular? "Oh I see." Then Ethan was apologizing. Merlin he was charming! Not all people have to be bad Hannah...she scolded herself.

He liked Hogwarts and that was good. Hannah sometimes still to this day felt like she didn't know if she really liked Hogwarts but she wasn't going to go into the reasoning behind why she felt like that. At least not today! "Yeah I guess you haven't been here long enough to really decide either way." Plus his first year here was a crazy one. He even noticed that they were having an awful lot of classroom disruptions. She smiled at him. "No it's never been like this in my years here." She can't really remember ever having any disruptions other than the students doing something wrong, but that was to be expected while teaching magic. "It's really odd...the whole ghosts being in every class and the headmistress barging in like a crazy person over a brooch." Something just wasn't right and Hannah was definitely wondering what was going on. "Even the professors seem different...like they know something...or maybe they are worried about what it going on." This subject really had her attention. "Everyone is making up their own theories." Not to mention the board of governs people being here. Something fishy was definitely going on.

Hannah really like the fact that Ethan seemed like he was really listening to her. Not just listening, but acting like he actually cared about what she had to say. It was nice...she didn't always get that feeling with people. She noticed his smirk when she mentioned that her parents were strict. So they had that in common...that was good. Maybe she could talk to him about her parents...at least he would get it. Still this was not the time or place. She would only go there with him if they developed a strong friendship. Back to her Slytherin family. "Oh yeah... as far back as I know we are all Slytherins." Her family was quite proud of that. She listened as he told her about his family. "Sounds like you have yourself a nice family." she added with a smile. Yes...being pureblood was an important thing to her. She was raised to respect noble families and it sounded like Ethan came from one.

They were back on her large family. She always wondered what it would be like to be an only child but she didn't think she would like it since she knows what it's like to have a large family. "No. My older brother Marcos works at the Ministy and my two younger siblings are not old enough to come here yet." Yeah they were all pretty much spread out. She grined at him when he added that he had cousins. "Well I am glad that you were not deprived of your childhood." she added playfully.

She again felt like Ethan really cared about what she had to say and in return that made her eager to talk some more about herself. What was there really so do at Hogwarts? "Hogemeade is pretty big for us. I enjoy going over there and I also like to bring a blanket and lay out around the lake. It's peaceful." Those were her two main things here at Hogwarts. Now outside of Hogwarts was a different story. "At home I love to play Quidditch and just fly in general. I love the warm weather so I get as much beach time as I can." She felt like she was going on forever about herself and she didn't want to bore him. "Sorry if I am talking too much. What about you? What do you like to do? she wondered.
