SPOILER!!: Ethan

Putting his wand away, he reached down and loosely took her hand in his again.

Ethan nodded slowly, thinking about Minerva's words and processing his own thoughts. "Yes, I think you're right.. a knut really isn't much when you think about.. even for someone not well off. Though it will add up by the end of the school year." He took a deep breath and tried to calculate an estimated amount in his head while listening to what she was saying. "Yes, that would have made things so much easier if they had sent a letter home or informed us somehow before we got here.. Or even just had us pay a few more galleons to come back so we wouldn't have to be so inconvenienced." Anything, really, to have prepared them for what was to come. He frowned a bit as she mentioned the first years, knowing she was right. Their first impression could not have been good. Poor kids, most of them being away from home for the first time and this is what they experience. He thought of his own experience that first night at the Ravenclaw turnstiles and how they had to scramble to work together to make sure everyone was able to get inside. The adults really dropped the quaffle on that one. Ethan took the hand that was in his and gently opened it so her palm was facing upwards. He dug in his pocket and placed a galleon in her hand, closing her fingers around it. "Here.. I want you to have this.. it should cover most of the year for you to get in your dorm. Provided you can get change for it." Maybe he'd talk to his head of house or the headmistress about getting change stations set up.. or he'd just have to owl the bank..

As she leaned against his arm, he leaned his head against hers and chuckled a little along with her. "It does make things easier.. but maybe I should check on some of the younger boys dorms to make sure they were able to use the cleaning spells properly." As far as he knew, there weren't any first year boys.. but were there second year boys? They might need a little help, the spells weren't that easy. It did really annoy him that the castle was in such a state and that the students were expected to pick up the slack. Did he not have enough to do with his prefect duties, studying for NEWTs, Quidditch.. not to mention any free time he'd like to have? When was he supposed to find time for keeping maintenance on a castle?? He laughed a little when he asked what she had been up to and she told him cleaning. "Well, I knew that.. doesn't sound like much fun though. You haven't been doing anything else?" Not that she had much time to get up to anything else. They did spend quite a bit of time together already and they hadn't been back all that long. Ethan wasn't sure what kind of answer he had been expecting. "Charmed the walls?" he asked, slightly interested. "To do what? Or just to brighten the color?" That could get rather interesting depending on what exactly you charmed it to do.

He laughed a little as talk turned of his prefect duties. "Hopefully you're right.. I hate to have to be the bad guy.. but I will be if I'm pushed to it." The younger ones would learn soon enough. Ethan had a somewhat friendly and laid-back personality, but that didn't mean he was going to be walked all over. Then he nodded, frowning a little. "I know it's not my fault.. but the younger ones do look to the leaders for guidance. And it's a little hard to provide that when we don't even know what's going on ourselves." He did have some good thoughts on the matter though.. or at least he thought and he planned on discussing things with the other two Claw leaders. But then he smiled at her kiss on his cheek, forgetting anything else for the time being. Then he chuckled at her words. "Another year of exams.. I think I have my study schedule worked out though, thanks to OWLs. And I do hope you'll help out once in a while," he grinned, remembering the help she had given him during his fifth year. "Don't worry, I won't be all about studying all the time. I think I have pretty good time management. I will make time for some fun for us too."

Minerva kept watching the butterflies, “Oh Ethan these are just what was needed, thank you so much.” She relaxed a little more as the butterflies disappeared, “You will have to teach me that one again, I want to remember it better.” It was a great spell to know, especially with her love of butterflies.

Minerva listened as he talked about the money and she thought about how confusing it all was when she first learned about the wizarding money. She couldn’t image the muggleborn first years trying to understand and needing to use it to get into their rooms. It was all just so concerning. The next thing he did caught her off guard, it didn’t surprise her though, because he was always worrying about her and so sweet. “Ethan you really don’t have to do that. I’ll be fine, honest.” She leaned giving him a small kiss. She knew he wouldn’t take no for an answer, but she had to say that he didn’t have to do it. They had been together long enough for her to know that about him, and for him to know her background on the wizard money area or money at all really. “Oh I think I over heard Oakey telling someone that the machine can somehow know when you put something bigger in and keeps track of you entrances, I’ll ask him about it if you want.” She might have heard wrong, but that’s what she thought it was at least.

Shrugging to his comment she chuckled a bit, [b] “Well it’s what I have been doing. Laura and I were doing all the girls rooms, so that the first years didn’t have to worry and everyone else.. well it was a welcome back surprise. “It is a big job, so it’s taking a lot of time.” Even with magic, a few people doing it was going to take some time. Then she chuckled at the look she got about charming the walls, “I just made them a brighter yellow, but now that you say that.. It would be fun to do more. Maybe I could make them keep changing colors, or write something to flash on the walls.” Hmmm she started thinking more about this. That could be interesting and fun.

Listening to his Prefect duties and the things going on, Min was exhausted just thinking about it. “Well they will learn and you are not the bad guy, it’s your job. One that has to be taken seriously.” Without order, this place would be crazy she thought to herself. She turned to really look at him, “Ethan you have so much going on right now, I understand if well if you can’t spend as much time with me. I do want to help you study though. That was fun last time and it’s a productive way to spend time together.” She hated the thought of not spending time with him, but didn’t want to make him feel he had to either.
