He watched closely to see the spell the Slytherin used to put up his notice. It would be easier next time than push pins, but whatever he did, he did silently.
Xavi tried hard to keep his eyes from widening in amazement, but he was amazed. As a first-year muggleborn kid, he was pretty sure only incredible witches and wizards could do non-verbal magic. Instead of giving away his surprise he asked "which spell was that?" Information. The more he knew, the more he could do.
Ethan grinned as he stared at his notice, then down to the first year. Well and good that the kid has a nickname, because he didn’t want to offend him by calling him by his name and mispronouncing it. It was very subtle and sneaky of him, no? Hehehe.
“Great to meet you, Xavi.” Tcha-vee. Totally nailed it, so he knew he was safe.
“I’m Ethan.” The Slytherin gave the kid a salute. Easy name to remember...and it was easy to pronounce, thank Merlin.
And a question already? Well, he really shouldn’t be surprised because the kid’s a Ravenclaw. He’d seen him around before, sporting blue-trimmed robes days ago.
“It’s the sticking charm.” He replied as he glanced back at the notice board to see his notice holding up without any pushpins.
Back to the boy, Ethan knew the kid wanted to learn it. He didn’t ask him how to do it though, so he’d remain quiet for now.
