"Hello Ethan," she greeted the boy with a smile on her face, something that was rarely seen on the woman. "You're quite welcome. You deserve much more than just an acknowledgement from me, but I'm afraid that's all I have to offer you." The boy had worked his bum off this term and he did it while staying out of trouble. "I'm very proud of how successful you've been this year." Hmm, maybe next term she could think of a way to acknowledge her students more than just her little speech.
What? He wanted to acknowledge her for doing her job? It was a rare occasion when anyone acknowledged her for anything positive around this school. And when she did get thanked, it was usually by students, and most certainly not by her boss. "You're very welcome," again. "You know I'm here for you little snakes whenever you need me." And even if they didn't need her she was there for them.
It was students like this one that made her job enjoyable. Could she just reach out and hug him now?

People around this school ought to check her good side, yeah? Tillstorm’s awesome.
And extra points because she went surfing! Tried at least. “I can’t wait really! It’ll be sooo cool to ride the waves!” Heh, and girls liked that, yeah? Merlin, if only he could get Josie to watch him…it’ll be super cool! “...but, what happened? How come it didn’t go well for you?” Did she fell off the board, got hurt and decided to just sit on the surfboard forever?
Ethan eyed the Lion’s table…and Hirase. “Oh, we will.” He said a small smirk on his face. Ethan already reminded himself to keep his cool whenever that kid decides to make another drama in Culloden’s class. Now that he’s aware of their House’s goal, it would be close to impossible to stop the Snakes from reaching the top.
I'm here for you little snakes whenever you need me.
These words seeped into Cutty like a hot, thick chocolate. Interesting. He knew them to be true, however as she had taken care of him physically throughout the year. And, in a manner he appreciated as fuss-free no less. Still, could they mean more than that? The third year watched the interaction between his unbeknownst cousin and his Head of House and answered his own question, not to mention a few others he'd been wondering about. So Ethan would be the new prefect, would he?
Excellent.
Cutty took a sip from his pumpkin juice and stayed away from the pork as he watched Ethan's gaze float over to the Gryffindor table and land on Kevin Hirase. Had they reached the portion of the feast where they shot filthy looks toward their enemies? Cutty wanted to give that a shot and though he tried to seem unimpressed with Sophie Brown, he was much too amused because his eyes caught sight of Branxton and then came back to Moretti.
Next term was sure to be a beaut!
