Ethan had been busily chowing down on his piece of cake, listening to Botros' story and accepted a cup of tea from Alexa. Oh.. were they to be reading tea leaves again? But apparently not as he listened further to Professor Elwood and sipped his tea. Oh yeah, this was much better than that bitter stuff they had for class.

Yes, he had heard about the repossessed crystal balls. Sad too, because he had been hoping they'd do a little gastromancy this term. He looked up curiously as she continued. Strongly worded letters? Somehow he thought they would be doing a different sort of activity in this club and he mulled that thought over. Sure, he thought they should take a stand to better enrich their education, but he highly doubted that the goblins cared much about that other than getting their money and having their debts repaid. They weren't going to return anything unless it was paid for.. or traded for something else maybe? And really, what did Hogwarts have left of value that could be spared?

And to be honest, he wondered if the Board of Governors cared all that much.. He didn't see much in the way of a solution from them and wasn't it their purpose to see that the students had a decent education? And yet they let things like the repossession of literally all of their educational supplies take place. Ethan didn't hold out much hope that strongly worded letters from a handful of students would make much difference, but he would at least make the effort and contribute.
