Deep in thought, Ethan had been wandering the castle, not really paying a whole lot of attention to where he was going. He had a lot on his mind lately.. busy with Prefect stuff, Quidditch, studying for NEWTs, Uni application, spending time with his girlfriend, and just making time for fun.. but now something else was weighing heavy on his mind.

Something weird was going on and even though he was tried to be convinced to the contrary, he knew better. Everyone knew you weren't sorted into Ravenclaw for being stupid.. and he was going to try to figure things out. He just needed to find a place to clear his head and think things through.

The Prefect found himself at the top of the North Tower at the Tower Patch. Orienting himself with his surroundings, his eyes immediately drifted to the last place he saw Professor Burbage and the night of that lesson come filtering through his mind. Pushing those thoughts away, he glanced around at the greenery. Much like everything else in the school, it seemed to have suffered. Shame really.. he loved his plants, they typically brightened the environment.. until they weren't taken care of.

He glanced around at some of the other students there and headed over to a bench away from some of the others. He gave them a glance before setting down his messenger bag and rifling through it. Nice to see some of the others trying to take care of the environment.. and after he did some of his work he figured he'd help out a little too. But for now he pulled out a journal from his bag. The Herbology one Minerva had gotten him at the end of summer.. He glided his fingers over the front of it and opened up. What he was doing wasn't exactly Herbology-related, he thought as he opened it and skimmed past his notes and sketches until he found some blank pages in the back, but it would do for now.
