Well, this was nice. Seeing the professor actually happy and not shouting his lungs out like a MAD Quidditch Coach. Ahem. Anyway, Ethan nodded and smiled as he enjoyed this moment with the man. He had to admit though, that he was intimidated by his presence during his first class with him, but Cosgrach definitely changed the way Ethan viewed him. There really was something more with this man.

More nods and grinning happened. See, this day didn’t turn out so bad, and he will be forever thankful to this person for listening to him. Yeah, that’s exactly what he needed. A person who could see beyond his happy façade.

Ethan allowed the potions master to go ahead, because the boy needed a little moment with the statue in front of him. Gregory the Smarmy. How fitting indeed. The third year tucked the stool under his arm and grinned at the sculpture. Today turned out really well, and he allowed his brain to etch every detail of what transpired between him and Culloden. This particular spot will definitely be a special one for him, and 'ol Greg is his sole witness.

Not wanting the professor to notice him missing, one happy Ethan Tyler Mordaunt dashed and caught up with Professor Cosgrach Culloden towards his office for a cup of warm tea.
