There are other effective ways to meet his goals, and he was exceptionally pleased with himself. Psh. How shallow of him, really.
It did take a while for Josie to come out, but he was ready to skip classes if he needed to. Ethan was really worried about her, and that she might be slowly killing herself with so much studying. He is a perfectionist, and he wanted the best for himself when it comes to his academics, so that shouldn’t set him that far from his Ravenclaw counterparts. He totally understands their lot, and he knows the implications of over-doing things.
Ethan quickly turned around and saw the most beautiful girl in the whole school. The Slytherin beamed at her, and immediately approached Josie to give her a comforting hug. The blonde teen knows however that Josie CAN take the pressure of school, but he’s also sure that Josie needed his hug. Why? He has claimed that he gives the best hugs, and that Josie will agree. Right???
The Slytherin released the Ravenclaw from his arms, and grinned at her. “Hi.” Yep, he didn’t need anything from her. He just wanted to see her and ask, “How have you been?”
How long had it been since she had seen the Slytherin? A few days? Weeks? Had it been months? However long it have been, it was definitely wrong of her to forget to visit her friends, particularly Ethan, especially Ethan. He was someone she had been thinking about a lot recently for reasons she couldn't quite think of, but she knew that she definitely missed seeing him.
The moment he turned to look at her, her heart was still racing & her face felt warmer than it had before. She watched as he approached her, wrapping his
big arms around her & she instantly wrapped her own arms around his frame. Unintentionally thinking he smelled very nice until his very comforting hug had ended.
She adjusted herself a bit before answering his question.
"I-I've been...alright.." Josie shrugged her shoulders a little.
"I-I've been studying for t-the OWLs..N-Now I understand why y-you were so stressed o-out last term.." She had an immediate flashback to when she had seen a very frantic Ethan in the midst of studying for his OWLs, although the result of that was him falling on his back, but still regardless, she understood how he felt.
"H-How have you been, E-Ethan?"
