OWLs would be over and done with soon enough.Smiling as she kissed his cheek, he turned towards her, smile growing. "That would be really great.. you are so much better at Transfiguration than I am. I don't think I have a chance of passing that particular OWL without some help."
Camping? No.. Ethan shook his head. When they first got kicked out, the prefects and older students tried to make their area like camping, he was told.. and even he and Mick sang some supposed camping songs. But that had been his only experience.. and it got old. Fast. Smiling a bit, he thought of the enchanted night ceiling.. it was nice to look at, like being under the stars.. he hadn't paid all that much attention to it being so tired when he went to bed. "That might be fun," he said with a chuckle. Merlin only knew what sort of thing Mick and Laura would do.. maybe a song and dance.. but he knew it would most likely be entertaining. "They do seem well suited for each other..." Funny how that works..
The boy raised his eyebrows as she described the candy. "Oh.. that sounds really good.. I think I need to try some of that," he said with a nod. Then he chuckled a little. "I guess I should admit that I'm something of a chocolate fiend myself, then," he added thinking of all those lonely little chocolate frogs stuck up in his dorm all alone. Shame. He shrugged as he said, "Well, I guess if you like the taste of it.." Not that he had tried it to know what it would be like.
Picking up both brooms from the ground, Ethan grinned at Minnie. "I'm sure you're brilliant." What he would give to see her with a beater's bat though.. that was pretty fierce. His smile faltered as she continued. "You don't have a broom anymore? Well.. that will have to change," he said with a nod. His eyes widened. "She tried to take your wand, too? That's just terrible.." Such a personal thing to take from a witch or wizard.. just not right. The boy grinned a little as he shrugged. "I'm alright, I guess.. I'm a little rusty too, though. Haven't flown since summer." He handed her one of the brooms. "Ok.. let's see what you can do." Wink.
Minerva smiled to herself as she felt him kiss her head. He was just so sweet, so caring. She couldn't believe they were actually dating and she was here with him at this moment it was just the best.
"Yeah the term has gone quickly. So much has gone on." She shook her head and looked at him,
"Oh Ethan, you are a good wizard, I have seen you do spells, but transfiguration is my favorite subject. So of course I would love to help you study for that part." Plus studying just meant more time with him and she would take it.
Minerva saw him shake his head, [B]"Well it's not horrible. Sleeping on the ground can be a pain, but the scenery is usually beautiful. Maybe if I can get a group and have grandpa take us you could come along." She figured if it wasn't just them that he might be allowed to come or something. She smiled and leaned into him a bit,
"Maybe we could look at the ceiling together." Yes she could come over and visit with him and they could look up at the stars, their own little Hogwarts Great Hall camp out, well until she had to go back to her own sleeping area..
"Yes I find it very interesting that Laura found Mick.." She laughed thinking about his dancing skills and her ways. They were a good match, she hoped it would work.
Minerva eyes got bigger when he said he was a chocolate nut as well.
"Well then I guess Laura and Mick aren't the only good matches around here." She winked and laughed a bit,
"Oh I have plenty of muggle candy you will really like then if you are a chocolate person. I was so glad when we got to go to hogsmeade, because I was out of Chocolate Frogs and Fudge. I was going crazy." She hated that all her things were still up in her common room being wasted without her.
Looking at the brooms she bounced a bit excited to get back on a broom. She blushed when he said she was brilliant,
"I don't know about that. I always felt more like the weaker of the players and I think seeing how great they are this term it really showed how much I was lacking." Giggling she shook her head,
"Last term I lost my bat and it flew to the stands hitting Lafay." Minerva shook her head and just laughed,
"But in my defense I was in pain during that match I was hit twice in the ribs by bludgers so holding on to the bat was rough." She took a broom from him and looked it over. Then she looked up when he commented on her broom and then her wand, she frowned. She forgot how hard it was to let someone in that didn't know her family.
"Many things have happened since I found out I was a wizard. An entire new family came out of the wood work so to speak, Leelee has her own business that is a bit dangerous. I don't know if she was trying to protect me or what when she forced me to my muggle grandparents, but she wanted me to stay muggle. She did not want me coming back to Hogwarts or the wizarding world." A small smile crossed her face as she got on the broom and got ready to lift off,
"But now that I know this world is real why on earth would I stay away."
