Re: A Wand-erful Mix-up

Ethan accepted Elyria's ushering without protest and took a seat, grimacing while staring down at his bruised and swollen hand. "You may have seen me alternate between two wands," he began. "I started this habit when I became an Auror, so I'd have a backup in case I was ever disarmed ...

Re: The Sum of All Fears (Kyle)

Ethan nodded. Withdrawing his wand, he cast a privacy charm around them, then grabbed a guest chair and positioned it beside Kyle's cot, facing him, and made himself as comfortable as he could. "Thank you for agreeing to this," he began. "If you feel uncomfortable at any time, please ...

A Wand-erful Mix-up

Thursday, December 1, 2005, after dinner. Ethan cried out in pain. It was times like this that he was thankful that his quarters were adjacent to Elyria's in Ravenclaw Tower. He could only hope that she happened to be in her quarters at this hour. He stumbled into the corridor and knocked on her doo...

The Sum of All Fears (Kyle)

On a Sunday morning after breakfast (following Secrets in the Snow ), Ethan made his way to the infirmary. He briefly checked in with a first-year Ravenclaw who'd spent the night there, offering some words of comfort and reassurance. Then he excused himself and made his way over to Kyle, finding the...

Re: Secrets in the Snow [Reserved]

"In that case, I'll proceed to discreetly investigate the boggart incident," Ethan said as both Julian and Eyria indicated their support. "Some weeks ago I was reminiscing back to my sixth year. Professor Flitwick had assigned Elyria and me our own study room in Ravenclaw Tower as we...

"I strive to always be as honest as the circumstances permit," Ethan replied. "Sometimes that backfires, such as when offering cricitism and it's not well-received. But I'd rather be known for being honest than the alternative." As they walked, Ethan's owl swooped down in front ...

When Julian allayed his concern, Ethan relaxed his expression and lifted Artemis up to his shoulder--she was rather heavy and it was awkward to let her perch in his arm indefinitely. "It's no bother, Ely's patronus was just unexpected, especially as I'd never actually seen it before--I only lea...

Re: Secrets in the Snow [Reserved]

After a minute or so, the brilliant image of a wolf descended from Ravenclaw Tower, running as if on a downhill slope but in mid-air, and upon reaching Elyria, sat down before her. It spoke in Ethan's voice, "I'll come down and meet you momentarily," then shimmered out of existence. A few ...

Ethan wrapped his arms around Elyria when she embraced him. But when she suggested that they wait, he moved his hands to her shoulders and took a step back so he could study her face for a moment. If he was disappointed, there was no evidence of that to be found in his expression. Instead, a slow sm...
