The first thing he noticed was how he was singled out right now. Ethan watched as Tobias followed Professor Botros, then the little Hufflepuff kid who walked right behind Tobias, then Sophie sticking to the little girl. See why he wants Simon to come along? Simon will never leave his side, no matter what. Just like a true Watson. The blond boy shrugged the thought out of his brain, and focused his attention at the task before them. Right now, all he got to do was to observe and not just see.

Standing at the very end of the trail, Ethan nodded as his question was answered and took mental notes. So, basically the device was used for detecting runes whether it is used for protection or as a curse. The Slytherin scratched the back of his head as his eyes scanned the walls, careful not to miss any block. So…if it is concealed, then there’s something fishy, yeah? “But what if the runes engraved are used for protection, and at the same time concealed, professor? I mean, I would conceal it so that nobody can tamper it.” Basically, that was Morgan La Fay’s mistake, yeah? Or maybe it was concealed and Merlin was able to find it by reversing the Disillusionment Charm that the witch performed. And…the story about the school being protected by runes is false? “We’re doomed then…but I am hoping it’s being protected by strong protective charms.”

Ethan followed the group as they took a turn. Still no sound from the device.

Okay then.

Eyes on the walls.
