After breakfast and having downed his cup of espresso, Ethan sprinted back up the stairs to the sixth floor towards the Ancient Runes classroom. It was time for class and he didn't want to be late.. what kind of example would that be? And when he turned in towards the door, he should have realized he needn't have worried. He was nearly the first one there.

That was slightly odd and remotely embarrassing, he thought as he slowed his steps and glanced at his watch. When was he ever one of the first ones in class? Especially when he was hurrying because he thought he was running late.. He was never that enthusiastic, even for Herbology.. but here he was. "Good morning, Professor," he greeted Botros with a nod as he walked past. And now he had his choice of pretty much any seat in the classroom.. which, thank Merlin, was immaculately clean.

He chose a seat smack dab in the middle of the classroom and sat down, pulling out his things from his bag to set on the desk. Glancing up at the board, he noticed the instructions and pulled out a piece of parchment to write on it.

He then tapped his wand on it and it turned into a name tag for his desk. Now what.. he would have to wait a bit for class to start since he was so early.. he opened his textbook and distractedly skimmed through it, his mind vaguely wandering to what they might be studying today.
