He had tried to fight the sad for so long, but he couldn't help it forcing it's way to his mind.
He tore his eyes away from the castle for a moment as he heard his name. Giving Jory a faint smile, he lifted his fingers in a casual wave before the departing Hufflepuff went to join his girlfriend, then he turned his eyes on Daichi, hearing his soft words. Swallowing hard, he nodded lightly in agreement. "It is somewhat surreal, isn't it? Almost hard to believe that this is it.. we're moving on to something else." But he had to accept the fact that he wouldn't be coming back here in September.. he was done with Hogwarts as far as being a student was concerned. "What are your.. plans?" It was interesting to know what his yearmates planned on doing after school was done.. right? And the small talk seemed to make it less sad somehow.. maybe it had been a good idea not to get in the boat alone.
The Ravenclaw looked back at the castle again as it grew smaller with the boat drifting forward. So many memories filled that moment before he tore his eyes away.. And when he looked back at Daichi, the boy had a plush duck on his lap. Ethan grinned at the toy, chuckling a bit at the explanation. Then he snapped his eyes up to the other boy's. "Oh.. no, I wasn't laughing like making fun of you.. it's just.. I appreciate the nostalgia.. I have an eagle plushy Minerva gave me for my birthday, you know." He mirrored Daichi's smile before looking down at his own lap and petting his cat again, wondering if it would be so much harder for the other boy leaving having been here seven years in contrast to Ethan's three.
What his plans were. Had he asked this a few months earlier he would have broken down crying, not knowing what his plans in the future were but after some talking with one of the Professor's he knew what he wanted to do.
As the castle got smaller and smaller, the Slytherin let out a long sigh before turning his gaze towards Ethan. Should he tell him about his true destiny... okay that sounded dramatic. And even after some quick thinking he decided against telling him he was going to see a psychiatrist. That was his little secret that no one had to know...well, except for Professor Flamsteed who knew about it but he had sworn not to tell anyone.
And if he did , Daichi would come back to school and confront him yush!
"I...i really want to work in the muggle world" he finally answered with a small smile.
"A clothing store or something. I know its small but ..i dont know" he scratched the back of his neck.
"What are your plans?"
Daichi tried to flash a glare towards the Ravenclaw, he really did when he grinned but he didn't even need a mirror to know that it had failed. Instead, he pouted and held the plush duck closer against his chest as if defending it. But...Ethan wasn't laughing at him... Daichi blinked his eyes before grinning widely. The grin widened even more when Ethan told him about the eagle plushy.
"Aww that's so cute! You're going to miss Minnie huh? I know she misses you already. She'd been crying the whole time i spoke her at the Pathways" Merlin, had that been an awkward conversation. Daichi was always awkward when people cried, like...what on earth should he do about it?

Just a lil' something to remember me by. I can give it to you on the train?" she asked, cocking her head slightly.
Eh?
Daichi looked away from Ethan and towards the other boat when he heard his name being called. Seeing Ronnie waving at him, the Slytherin leaned a little closer to hear her words, dangerously hanging closer over the edge of the boat.
"What?!" he shouted.
"What's with the front gate?!"
Seriously...what was she saying?
"Tell me in the train, i can't hear you well!" Either he was becoming deaf or she just needed to shout louder.
