With only a brief flicker of acknowledgment, a nod of his head at the boy, he turned back to his daughter. All of his attention solely focused on her now, "I sought you were going to ze train, dear. I was looking for you zere. You know how I feel about you....wandering off." They had several conversations, disagreements over the summer about her flippant and flighty behavior.
Josette watched as his whole demeanor changed & she could feel the embarrassment as he was beginning to show his nature, especially in front of Ethan. She tried to defend herself without arguing with her father by saying, "B-But father I didn't wander off, y-you had disappeared & I thought you h-had left. I didn't see you-"
His serious face contorted into something nasty then and snapped, "I told you, Josette, zat if you argued with me again you would not be returning to school."
He was aware of the audience. His hands were shaking with the urge to explode on his daughter, yell at her insolence, but he restrained himself. Instead he turned to the boy and said with great authority, "If you'll excuse me, boy, I need to speak with my daughter. Zis is private, family business." Meaning this Ethan character needed to leave and if he wasn't catching the drift he would spell it out for him.
Ethan felt irrationally angry that moment he saw the man’s smile. It wasn’t a smile. It was arrogance. He’d know one when he sees one, because of his family. The young man was able to tone down his feelings, reminding himself that things won’t be in his favour if he put his impatience and hot-headedness first. Nothing will come out of it, because this man won’t even listen to him. If the man had given him a smile, Ethan did not return it. Instead, he kept his features calm, his breathing even.
The former Slytherin stood his ground, and watched the father and daughter exchange words. With eyes like a hawk, he took notice of the man’s hand...the shift in his expression. Right then and there, Ethan could smell his anger. Why, he’s not sure. The fair-haired young man could not see any logic behind Gerard’s ill temper. While listening carefully to the conversation, Ethan slowly procured a decent sized bounded book with his NEWT revisions in it. He had meant to give it to Josie, to wish her well in her exams, plus...there was a present inside, hidden in the book’s inner back cover. He will hold on it for now.
Ethan blinked, when he was acknowledged again, this time, being pushed away gently, so Gerard could speak to his daughter. The former Slytherin has a bad feeling about it, thus, clearing his throat to let Gerard know that he won’t cower away from him. He will face him dead on.
“I do respect the privacy, monsieur. But I believe I have something to do with this. I am the reason why Josette hasn’t boarded the train yet.” Ethan would do anything for Josie to get on that damned train to Hogwarts. He felt she was safer there.
The former Slytherin looked at Josie, hoping she’d ride along the conversation. He will be her screen, so she could get to the platform and board the train. She simply must get to school now.
