It’s one of those core subjects that he needed to excel in, and ace in his upcoming NEWTs. So without much thought, Ethan arrived in the training hall earlier than everyone else as expected. He’d been preparing for this lesson since last night, even went to bed early, so the muddled greeting that the professor might be expecting from him won’t be heard. Instead, a cheerful one came out of his mouth as soon as he stepped inside the training salle.

“GREETINGS PROFES—” What in the world?! You don’t welcome students with your other half missing! Ethan stood by the entrance, perplexed with what he saw, but then was relieved to see the pleasant expression on the Professor’s face. At least he’s not bothered by it, and not in pain.

Take two.

Clearing his throat, “GREETINGS, Professor Dakest-- …or should I say Professor Dakest 0.5?” Ethan gave the professor a sup nod, and glanced at, what should be his legs and feet, then back to the professor. “Disillusionment charm, I suppose?” he asked and at the same time half assumed. With a quick look around the room, he found the wall full of small blackboards, and the instruction hanging above the lot. The Slytherin got himself one, a piece of chalk, and walked over a spot near the windows where he could get some sunlight. It was almost winter season, so yes, he’d take advantage of the heat of the sun while it lasted.
