The former Slytherin, still undecided on what to get, moved towards the journals section. “Yes, yes. I’ll be needing one soon…” Mordred got one from the shelf and examined it carefully.
He didn’t realize that someone already entered the shop, and was actually talking to him. Mordred did a double take and eyed the boy’s outstretched hand. Was Ethan that talkative? Did his cousin actually told this boy everything about him? The boy, who goes by the name Simon, knew his name…and that he knows about his love for dragons. “I…see.” The 21-year old returned the gesture and shook the boy’s cold hand. Mordred also took notice of the bloody weather. It seemed that the weather in Hogsmeade is colder now compared to Russia. Which is…very odd. “Ethan’s on his way?” Mordred’s eyes narrowed and towered over the boy. “What’s keeping him?” Because it is unusual of Ethan to be late.
And yes. Dragons. Mordred tilted his head in curiosity. “Yes, It's my second year studying dragons back in St. Petersburg.” He said as he wondered what else Ethan told this boy. Merlin knows what else he told the whole school. “…and yes, I work part-time for the Russian Dragon Reserve as well.” Mordred smirked at the boy and returned the journal he was holding back up the shelf. “Are you into dragons as well, Simon?” Simon’s his name right? If there was one thing Mordred’s not good at…it would be remembering names. Heh.
Well, he was just a bucket of sunshines and rainbows, thought Simon as he disappeared off into his own thoughts for a bit. Suddenly, he was brought back to the present when Mordred asked him what was keeping Ethan.
Well long story short.... 
"
Ethan stayed out pretty late last night exploring the castle. He gave me a letter to say give him a nudge and head on out ahead of him to meet you. He didn't want to keep you waiting," explained Simon, remembering when he poked his friend and got several grunts in response. He didn't want Mordred to be mad with Ethan. That was the last thing that Simon wanted.
His eyes widened with excitement as Mordred began speaking about his work with dragons. He was studying dragons in Russia? That was doubly cool. Simon had always wanted to explore the world as a child and hoped one day that he'd get to visit St. Petersburg and Moscow. Maybe if he studied dragonology, perhaps he too would do the same thing as Mordred. "
Yep, I am. And yes, I'm Simon," he re-affirmed. "
I've always been intrigued by dragons since I was quite young. Care of Magical Creatures is one of my favourite classes. I'm quite envious that your year got to watch an actual dragon grow for a term. That must've been so interesting!
