Daydreaming in class? Oh no. No no no. What if those fanged geraniums consumed her while daydreaming? Ethan deadpanned at her as the image formed inside his head. He shook his head to shake it off and gave her a warm smile.
“Hey, no worries.” He used to not have any friends when he started out in Durmstrang, so he was more than willing to give a helping hand. Friends are good. Yup.
“I have a dog! His name’s Momo. My cousin gave it to me as a present.” He missed his pet and cousin, by the way.
“My dog’s a black French Bulldog…and he farts a lot.” Hahaha.
“I don’t know why he’s so gaseous…” Ethan scrunched up his nose then laughed.
“Well, you do feed your owl, yeah? Only they won’t eat your hand and such, but this is basically the same. The only difference is that you have to distance yourself from them.” He said as he gestured to the plants.
“Hmm. Not really. Herbology isn’t my strongest subject…I’m more of a creatures guy.” Nod nod.
“But yeah, plants need some tender loving care too, so I guess that’s what makes this task easy for me.” Maybe she just needs to expose herself more to plants and stuff. Or…maybe she’s not just wired to learn Herbology. Shrug. Ethan watched as the older Slytherin gave the task a shot.
“As long as you feed the bush, there’s no need to rescue you…but yeah, I’ll save you when things go wrong.” Ethan gave her a thumbs up and a big grin.
“It’s my pleasure to meet you, Vinnie!”

Ethan turned his attention to the Ravenclaw this time.
“Hi Jasmine! My name’s Ethan.” Waaaves for you because he just held a dead rat a few minutes ago with his gloved hand.
“Okay.” The Slytherin tucked both of his hands behind him and eyed Vinnie.
“Hey, Vinnie! Come and join us over here. You can help water the plants.” She can…cast Aguamenti, yes? Yes.
Jasmine came back with an older boy. Oh heeeeeey. Yeah, he saw him before during the opening feast. You know, when he thought that the Hufflepuff bunch was his house mates? Confusing, that night was. Anyway.
“Hi Cris! Yeah, sure no problem. We will be able to finish the task faster that way.” With older students and such behind him…this task will be easy peasy.
Weigela bush it is! Ethan bopped his head as he made his way towards the bush and pointed his wand at it dramatically.
"Immobulus!" The Slytherin did a small dance as he waited for his team to sprinkle it with dung and water it.
"All safe, you guys." Ethan smiled as he moved away from the spot and eyed the Lilies.
Hmm. Interesting plant right there. Could they water that one next? Please? He's the youngest in the bunch you know...
