Ethan took a sip of his tea as his student lamented his lack of free time for recreational reading. "What's on your mind regarding your NEWTs?" , he asked as it seemed Trent was hesitant to ask--or maybe he intended to save the question for a later time. "You're always welcome to appr...

"Ah, that's unfortunate, though if you'd kept the owl for too long, it might've tipped off the sender that you were investigating," Ethan replied. "The parchment is another thing to consider, if it happens to be of a higher quality, though I admit it wouldn't give any more insight th...

Ethan had accompanied a gaggle of students to Hogsmeade as one of the chaperones for their first visit of the term, but it was now getting late and most had already returned to the safety of the castle. He'd decided to take advantage of the opportunity to visit the pub/cafe while things were now rel...

"A disturbing package?" , Ethan repeated. He crossed his arms, intrigued by the mystery. "Is there anything else about the package that's peculiar? Perhaps there's something unassuming about it that might be traceable or provide a clue, such as a high-quality ink. Even a strand of ha...

Ethan nodded as Trent briefly recalled his experience in Egypt. "You may not have been given anything that really challenged you, but at least now you've got a better idea of what life as a cursebreaker would be like. I hope it will be sufficient to motivate you to see this through. Of course, ...

"Lansing..." , Ethan repeated softly as he tried to recall the name, but drawing a blank, he shook his head. "Sorry, that's not ringing any bells either." ... "Oh, is there some pattern to their movement that I've failed to notice? Somehow I imagined it was randomized. I su...

"Egypt? It sounds like you had quite an adventure...forgive me for being a bit envious. I'm curious to hear about your experience, if you're willing to share. Back when I was a junior Auror, they sent me on a series of five training expeditions, each one more challenging than the last. The fin...

Ethan couldn't help but smile a bit when Cassandra revealed she'd also been a Ravenclaw. He always thought it was the most respectable of the four houses, on account of its members being more serious and academically-minded, but it wasn't something he could admit openly. As a professor, he had to ma...

Ethan had warded the staircase and balcony outside his office to alert him with a soft, innocuous ding if someone was standing outside his door. The sound couldn't be distinguished from a mere teaspoon clanking against the inside of a teacup, so it wouldn't alert the visitor that their presence had ...

Hearing Cassandra's voice behind him, Ethan glanced up and saw his colleague looking over his shoulder. "Ah," he intoned. He then scooted his chair back enough for him to stand and turn to face her and extend his hand in greeting. Perhaps an unnecessary show of respect, but it was one of t...

The Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom was somewhat unique among those at Hogwarts, because at the front of it was a staircase leading up to a mezzanine with a balcony and the teacher's office. Ethan wasn't overly fond of the staircase, but at least his office was convenient to the classroom, s...

After his daily, early-morning sprint through the Forbidden Forest in his animagus form, and a refreshing shower in his quarters, Ethan made his way down to the Great Hall. After saying good-morning to a few students, he took his customary seat at the head table and began filling his plate. He alway...

Plots: none yet Platonic: If you want your student to have a mentor relationship with a professor, like Lupin had for Harry, Ethan could possibly fulfill that role. Ethan offers private occlumency lessons to fifth-years and above who ask...but they have to be serious about it. Romantic: Ethan recog...
