*KNOCK KNOCK* pause. *KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
Anybody home? Adjusting to life at Hogwarts was... difficult. Archie had pretty much been hibernating inside his hut for the first few days of term, but in his defence, he was totally busy decorating and making it as homely as possible. It was hard to do that in such a tiny space, but at least he was allowed to bring his pup. As of right now, Archie wasn't as busy as he wanted to be, and was actually taking a daytime nap with a copy of the Daily Prophet resting on his chest.
In fact, one knock alone wouldn't have woken him up, but FIVE? FIVE KNOCKS????? Archie almost faceplanted his floor. But instead he let out one massive SNORT and jumped to his feet.
Who could possibly be visiting him? He crept to the window and peeeeeered through just to check it wasn't some magical creature that had escaped from the Forbidden Forest. He had frequent nightmares about that forest, by the way. But nope, it was a CHILD. With his eyebrows pressed together in confusion, Archie smoothed down his clothes and creaked the door half way open. "Hello?" Come on, Archibald, be professor-like. "Hi there. Wh..." Pause. Archie tapped his chin. "Hmm... what can I do for you, miss?"

Since he had been skating since four years old, Ethan’s already a pro riding a skateboard in full speed. He did notice the Groundskeeper Hut instantly, and without second thoughts, diverted his skateboard towards it.
He had his eyes focused on the door that he didn’t see a large chunk of rock on his way.
BUMP.
Before he could even say hello, Ethan found himself semi-flying off of his skateboard, rolled on the ground, then crashed on the Groundskeeper’s door. Ethan winced and mouthed the word ‘ouch’ as he rubbed his shoulder.
Sigh. Anybody home? Okay.... okay... now THAT wasn't a regular knocking sound. THAT was the sound of a magical creature coming to destroy him. Do you think he wasn't aware of the history of this job role, huh? New Groundskeeper every year, wasn't it? Well, Archie wouldn't be taken out so quickly.... hopefully.
The bang gave Archie such a fright that he had actually spilled his entire cup of tea down his front, "AGhRHH!" He yelped. Hot, hot, hot, hot. But this was too scary for him to fuss over that too much. He pulled out his wand and, again, peered through the window before going anywhere near the door. BUT THERE WAS NO ONE THERE?!?! The short man opened the door slowly and let out an epic sigh of relief when he saw a student lying on the ground. Didn't even matter about WHY he was lying there, Archie was just glad he wasn't about to be eaten.
"Oh, Merlin. Ohhhhh, Merlin, thank you." Archie lowered his wand and tucked it away. Ah, anyway, the student. "Hello..." Archie bent down just a touch and tilted his head to the side, "Any, err, reason you're camping on my doorstep?" Just wonderin'.
