Was there someone he needed to see or was she trying to pet her cat. He was not sure. But then he saw that girl from the boats. So she was a slytherin too. She was probably crazy too.
Well it was too late to say hi to this Professor now. He was in the middle of an awesome stare down now. He was not going to give up like that. Dante stared back at her not even blinking. Yeah, it was that serious.
But one thing he did notice was this older girl. Real crazy. She was arguing with this staring Professor Bellaire, was it. And wait were there thrones that he could sit on. That would be pretty awesome. Though Dante did not want a throne. Just a nice seat next to it. That would be nice.
Though some food would be nice too.
Ethan liked how this Dante kid was observant and all that. He also appreciates the fact that the young boy had the makings of a gentleman. Somehow. Ethan wondered what in Merlin's pink trousers was going on inside that tiny head of his.
He saw him look at the Ruby/Bellaire drama though, and this made Ethan put his hand on top of Dante's head, gently turning it to face the other side. You're too young to see that skirt go from short to long, then back to short again Dante boy. SPOILER!!: Brooklyn Quote:

All it had gotten was a glare back, and Brooklyn would have added her own had there not been the distraction of the smile and nod from the professor toward herself. She’d smiled back, giving another curtsy to punctuate her difference from the others before she had returned to her seat and arranged Tywin on her lap yet again. There had been a thought to apologize for them, but they weren’t her fault. The boy from the boat definitely wasn’t her fault, scaring all the others into thinking a squid had been going to come out and eat them on their way across the lake. She hadn’t seen any squids, anyway. Even if there was one, it probably only ate fish or whatever it was squids usually ate.
As she had settled back into her seat, she’d glanced back at the prefect who she’d basically eavesdropped on and saw the grin. The thumbs up was somewhat ignored, but she had returned the grin. She’d proven she was better than the other firsties, when she wanted to be. Getting the professors to like her definitely was a time to act polite, and prefects liking her was useful too. Not to mention, there had been that whole scene after she’d gotten back to her seat, with the older girl getting the professor angry. Blue eyes had gone to the girl both analytically and almost reproachful, just watching her stand there with the cushion on her head. That wasn’t a crown. She knew what a crown was, and that wasn’t it.
Oh what do we have here? Another Agatha? Ethan did not mind her doing a curtsy for the professor, because it was lady-like, but the boy was hoping that she's not violent like that nutso witch.
Ethan took the opportunity to introduce himself, when she returned the grin. It was just polite. Besides, she needed to know who's who in this table. "Hi. What's your name?" her grin didn't look...friendly, but she was worth knowing. She's a baby Snake after all.
And what was up with Dante and her doing a staring contest?! "Have you met these two?" he asked with a friendly tone as he pointed at Maggie and Dante beside him. Please don't tell him that a fight broke out when he wasn't looking... SPOILER!!: Sophie! Quote:

He was still here, and he was still hot, so that was all that mattered. Plus, she now knew where basically all her friends were. Caleb was still MIA, so maybe she'd lucked out, and he'd caught the train to Durmstrang instead. She was still mad at him for that stunt he'd pulled in Diagon Alley a week or so ago.
BUT GRAYSON! So who cared about Caleb right now?
She could just melt into those eyes of his. She returned his smirk with a smile. UGH, couldn't she have just smirked back and played it cool? Obviously not. Her smiled widened when he made the comment about her being hot on the train. "You've just got this flirting thing down pat, don't you?" she said, calling him out on the fact that he was just being so smooth with feeding her all the right lines. She loved that flirting, though.
"You're looking pretty hot yourself," she boldly pointed out. "Tell me, Grayson. When are we going to hang out? Just you and I, I mean." Another bold move. She was SO crossing her fingers for that Hogsmeade date this school year. The snow seemed to be gone, so they had no excuses to stay inside the castle. "Florean's was awesome, but you know what they say--two's company and three can sometimes be a crowd." What she meant to say was, 'You're hot, and I want to spend time with you and JUST YOU!'
Heh.
"Cinna," she quickly said, answering his question. She didn't want to talk too much about anybody else. She wanted to know all about that Hogsmeade date. Also, something Grayson said to Ethan caught her attention. "You're prefect? Awesome, Ethan," she said with a grin. "Congrats!" He'd let them get away with whatever they wanted to do, right? ... RIGHT?
Did Sophie really want him in this conversation? Ethan can't possibly miss the boldness that the she-snake was showing, and he was more than happy to leave the TWO alone. He's a good friend, you see? But...where's Caleb? "Yes, I am." he said grinning and poking his badge. And that makes him 11 times more awesome. "Thank you, Sophie." he replied, and glanced back at Grayson.
If he is to 'babysit' those baby snakes beside him, he was also definitely going to lurk around her and Grayson. He won't rat them out right away if they did something that is outside of the rules, but he will confront them before the staff does. Remember guys, we have a House Cup to win THIS TERM.
They can do all the snogging in Hogsmeade, if they want to. He couldn't care less about it, really. Quote:

"Good evening, everyone. Welcome back to another year. As I'm sure you all have noticed, the weather has returned to normal and the infest--- the horde of chorts from the forest are officially removed." She paused to allow time for applause, because OBVIOUSLY that statement deserved applause. Copious amounts of it.
Next. "We also have some new and returning staff this term... Professor Tanner is back," hopefully they'd know that was Tyner, just married, "and we have some new staff in Herbology and on the grounds. Please give a warm welcome to Professor Walton and Groundskeeper Milliard."
Another pause for applause.
"Now, I look forward to a WONDERFUL term with no problems and a great, friendly competitive spirit in the House points race. Please do your best in your classes and make all of our new students and teachers feel welcome. Without further ado, let's eat!"
And nowwww the food and tea and other hot items were on the tables. Delicious! SPEECH TIME!
Good, because he's already starving.
Ethan turned to face the front, eyed the new and returning Professors. He never met Professor Tanner before, and the two new staffers look interesting. Professor Walton looks...stern in some way, and he would be teaching Herbology. One of his weakest subjects! Then there was Groundskeeper Milliard. Ethan immediately liked him. His face looks friendly, and he seems to be a cool person. He'd have to visit him tomorrow and introduce himself.
And of course, the chorts. He had a blast investigating the situation with his friends, and Professor Botros. He looked at the old man, and grinned at him even if he wasn't looking. He liked the guy, because he gives great hugs.
Ethan applauded with everyone else, his clapping was a bit louder than the rest because he knew that his Uncle was one of those people who dealt with the Chorts. Even if he's miles away, he was uber proud of him.
THEN FOOOOOOOOD!
Glorious FOOD. SPOILER!!: Hugo+Dot! Quote:

Many other older students welcomed them and Hugo nodded and said thanks to all of them. Though, there were people who was...special. Like the crying girl, the girl with the cat attacking the boy with a badge (whom by the way was a prefect and that was cool). See what they had in common? They were girls. Girls are trouble, but fun to annoy.
Then, a woman came to their table. A professor for sure. Hugo stared at her because she conjured this big chair and sat on it. Awesome. He smiled at her "Hello professor...?" he didn't know her name so, just "professor" would be.
And again, ANOTHER woman was making something to talk about, this time an older girl. Who did she think she was? Girls are crazy. He rolled his eyes. Though, he had to give the girls some credit. He hadn't been bored of watching everything they had caused. Quote:

Lucky for her there was a girl who wanted to be queen herself, apparently, and Dot just stared in interest as she went head to head with Queen Professor Bellaire. Queen Professor was definitely not used to people questioning her rule. It made Dot want to bite her thumb in nerves, she was so SURE that the girl, this Ruby person was going to be turned into a goldfish. OR A RAT? SEE? SEE DIMA? THEY DID TURN PEOPLE INTO ANIMALS HERE.
Oh. Was gum excavating an actual for real thing? Dot wasn't keen on getting back down there and touching anything that had once been in someone's mouth, but she smiled just slightly. Better to say no later when she wasn't likely to come across as a wet rag or something, right?
"I'd rather dig up mammoths, honestly. No one's been chewing on them." But it was a start. Maybe someone had stuck a treasure map to the bottom of the table... probably not, but it was worth considering all the possibilities. "What year are you?"
She waited as a boy interrupted them. Or sort of did. He got Paulie's attention, but then that was a thing boys did. It was dead boring. Dot just watched him, bright eyes intent on his face. Go 'way, distracting boy.
There was another student, just about Dot's size and age, and she wiggled her fingers at him in greeting. He was hungry, which Dot completely understood. Food, right? FOOOOOD. When was that happening? It was late, they'd spent all day on a train, she'd been traumatized by a hat, and now Dot deserved a pile of chicken legs.
And mashed potatoes.
"When do we eat? D'you know?" she whispered it, in case it was an extremely ignorant question. Hey. Hey, kid. D'you know?
The fair-haired boy turned just in time to hear the question. She was the one crying earlier, yeah? "Now." Ethan smiled at her and the other new boy and gestured his hand towards the food.
All right you lot. DIG IN.
