This is exactly how he wanted his father to be like. Pride and warmth filled the boy as soon as Cosgrach accepted his help. It wasn’t every day that a professor would make their students feel they were needed, especially during circumstances like this. If it was his dad though, it would be very different. He’d probably be scolding him for not thinking over things, blah blah blah. It was unfair of him to think of it though, because all along he had been judging Aldred as soon as he learned that he was actually his father. The Mordaunts aren’t exactly the friendly type. They are all reserved, perfectionists, and is addicted to tradition.
The moment they entered the castle and started walking up the stairs, Ethan got his wand out and casted the Hot Air Charm on himself. Wooooshh. Warmth. He’d occasionally look up at his professor to see if he was doing okay, and would fan him with the warm air coming out of his wand from behind. Nothing to see here, sir.
He was too busy concentrating on keeping himself and Cosgrach warm, that he didn’t realize they were heading…somewhere in the…1, 2, 3, 4…fifth floor. The boy stopped and tucked away his wand as he looked up at the statue of…who is that guy again? Josie had told him his name when they were out exploring the castle. Gregory something who used a potion to be friends with a King, yes? Totally missing Cosgrach conjuring stools out of thin air, Ethan grinned at the statue. That was…rather thoughtful of the Potions Master, no? Shifting his attention to the man who is now sitting, rather comfortably on his stool, Ethan followed suit, and inhaled exhaled slowly. “It’s…yeah. It’s my dad. I…” the third year scrunched up his nose, and phrased his next words carefully. “…I think he doesn’t want me.” There. Ethan winced a bit, fully embarrassed that he is talking about this stuff with another adult. He did consider talking to his Head of House regarding this, but he decided on the last minute that he actually needs a male adult counterpart for this. Besides, it’s about his dad, so who else would actually understand, yeah?
