So.. graduation boats. While he thought he sort of got the symbolism in using the same boats that the first years did upon their first arrival, Ethan wasn't so sure he wanted to get to the station that way. Was it mandatory? He was completely set on riding the carriages back with Minerva anyway, but she seemed to insist as she mumbled something about going with Ariana before she tore away. He'd see her on the train anyway.

As he neared the lake, the new graduate was fairly intent on riding in one of the boats by himself, mainly to be alone with the thoughts that had been slowly pushing to the forefront of his mind the last week or so, becoming even more prevalent at the feast. But, as he approached with his Siamese trailing behind him, green eyes fell on the people already there. Ronnie appeared to be quite melancholy, not that he blamed her, it was somewhat bittersweet to be leaving for good. "Hi, Ronnie," he greeted her softly to not disturb her too much from her own thoughts as she seemed to be on the verge of tears. He didn't know her all that well, but wasn't sure now was the time to change that.. he was sure she was waiting for Jory anyway.

The 18 year old made his way to get into a boat when he saw Daichi sitting alone. Making the decision to join him, he veered his path towards the Slytherin. He always thought Daichi was a decent bloke, even with the ice cream issues, which he was rather glad the boy had been cured. Ethan was sure he didn't know how hard he had tried to help him and the others from that affliction and he didn't feel the need to say anything now. Time to put the term and its madness behind them. "Hey, Daichi," he said as he tentatively put a foot in the boat, doing his best not to rock it. These things were tiny, they were meant to fit two grown men? "You don't mind, do you?" He climbed fully in, sitting next to the other boy and his cat jumped in after him, curling up on his lap.
