Ethan chuckled at Minerva's comment. "I see.. just trying to keep me in line, huh? Maybe it should be the other way around.." He laughed a little more, still clearly amused by the situation, and watched the two girls continue to practice. Then he looked up as the new professor spoke and he got up to follow as she called them over.

This should be easy enough, especially since he was already familiar with the procedure.

Throwing the handful of floo powder into the fire, he watched as the flames turned green. Now to wait.. it would take time before the Ashwinder would appear, so he sat down in the grass and let his eyes focus on the flames as his mind wandered..
