"Well, yeah.. both actually. It's my grandfather's house.. but my aunt moved back in a few months ago. He's really sick and needs some extra help." His features clouded over briefly before hearing a knock at their window which made him turn his head.
Oh it was Mick.. Ethan smiled and waved back, then watched curiously as he mouthed something about next door and kept walking. He wasn't going to sit with them? That was okay for a little while, he supposed.. he certainly wouldn't mind a some alone time with his girlfriend. But he would have to find him at some point. They had things to talk about.
Turning back to Minnie, Ethan rummaged through his messenger bag and pulled out a Reese's peanut butter cup. He still had a few left from the package she had sent him.
"Do you want one?" he asked as he tore open the package, still getting a kick out of the fact that there were two to a package. He stuck his hand in his pocket then pulled out the metal badger she had lent him a few weeks. Holding it out to her, he said,
"I should return this to you.. Thanks for letting me borrow it. Just the extra bit of luck I needed, I think."
Sitting back in his seat, the boy took a bite of the candy. So good.. Chocolate and peanut butter was just the best combination ever. He savored the candy for a moment before turning back to Minerva.
"So.." he began with the hint of a mischievous grin.
"I'm pretty sure I promised to give you something else.." "Well that is very nice of your Aunt. Your family all seems really nice and caring." Minerva sat back and smiled as she listened to Ethan talking and then he was getting into his bag. Minerva watched curiously and then smiled as she saw him pull out a Reese Cup.
"Sure, I would love to share one."She smiled and took the candy. It was great that he loved them as much as she did. Minerva made a mental note to hope over to the muggle store she use to visit when living with Leelee to get some more.
"SPARKLES" Minerva said a bit to excited.
"Sorry.. I guess I'm a bit attached to this little metal badger." She laughed a bit and took the badger from Ethan.
"I'm so glad he helped.. I know you did wonderful on your owls." Ethan was smart, so Minerva had no doubt he did great.
Minerva ate her Reese cup and was sitting there being happy about all the things to come. Ethan said something that made her grin,
"Yes, I think you did say something about giving me something or some sort of surprise." She tried to play it down, but was super curious to know what Ethan had been talking about the last few days.

Minerva then heard another knock and looked up it was Laura this time. As she came into the compartment Minerva smiled,
"Hey Laura, what's going on? I didn't talk to you much at the feast. Seemed like there was a bit of weird Elliot drama, so I figured staying out of it was probably best to stay out of it." She then looked towards the door.
"Well he knocked and said hi, but then he went next door to talk to someone. I thought it was you, but must have been someone else."
