Did Simon just?...okay. Never mind, Holden. Thanks for ignoring your confused buddy.

Ethan sighed, shook his head and caught sight of Zander coming in. The Gryffindor too got a nod. Well, looks like he's not having a good day too? And...what was Cutty doing under the table? Ethan smirked at his cousin, then turned to where Professor Bentley was.

Growth charm? Hmm. What does he know about it? He's familiar with a similar spell, but that won't be applicable to their task if they're going to work with seeds...and make it into a Bonsai.

Bonsai?

What is a Bonsai?

Well, he was pretty sure it will be explained sooner or later. Besides, he wasn't in the mood to ask questions. Hopefully this lesson would take his mind off of certain, depressing things. Now, onto the seeds. Alder, Blackthorn, or Enchanting Elm?

Welp.

Here goes nothing. Ethan stood in front of the third box and got himself a seed. Well, he really could use some challenge today.
