As he was reading a passage on Switching Charms from his notes, he looked up and jumped slightly when he saw...what was it he saw exactly? At first in the slight darkness, he'd thought it was some kind of animal or something. But no, it was a person...with their forehead on the ground. Ok, now he was confused - and also intrigued. Why would someone do th--
HOLY MERLIN, IT WAS ETHAN MORDAUNT!
Caleb actually dropped his book in surprise as realization hit him that the missing Slytherin, his predecessor, was right there IN FRONT OF HIM, very much alive. NOT dead at all. PEOPLE HAD SEEN HIM, RIGHT? THEY KNEW HE WAS BACK? Caleb was no longer going to be accused of murdering someone for a silly position??
"ETHAN?! Is that...why are you...you're back!" was all Caleb managed to spit out as he grabbed his book and notes off the floor in a hurry.
“The floor is cold...so maybe that’s how cats predict that a storm is coming?” Ethan murmured to himself as he closed his eyes this time and concentrated on the matter. He has been studying day and night for his OWLs, given that he missed chunks of lessons earlier in the term. Stupid dragon pox, really. Exhaustion was slowly claiming his senses, his chewing slowed down greatly...it was as if he was falling asleep in a very weird, and awkward position.
He was starting to picture lots of cats in his head when BAM! Heavy books fell on the ground, and caused a thunderous noise.
“STORM!” Ethan jolted back up in a seating position, sending Simon’s notes flying in the air. The blond boy looked around blinking several times, his eyes slightly crossed eyed from the sudden change of position.
“Wh...aa? Huh? Who’s there??!” Ethan quickly got up, collected Simon’s notes and repeatedly smacked the right side of his head.
“Ugh...I don’t feel so good...who are yoooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...oh.”
Oh hell no.
AWKWARD MUCH.
Yep, he’s heard things about Caleb, and THE badge stuff, but Ethan shrugged it off. He didn’t make a big deal out of it since he didn’t feel like he was cut out for the job in the first place anyway. But there he was...Caleb. He knew that the term won’t be over without bumping into the guy...well...in an awkward
positionsituation.
“Hey mate!” Ethan shook off the uncomfortable feeling as he rushed towards
his prefect and helped him with his things.
“Don’t look at him...don’t look at him...don’t look at him...” he thought as he absentmindedly dropped his things again on the floor and picked it up again.
“Y-yeah...yes I’m back. Stupid dragon pox is gone now...so...” DRATS. There’s nothing else to pick up on the floor! Eeeek.
