Yep, he’ll be expecting a bump and bruise right there.

He heard the shuffling, and the door opening……………..and why was this man…thanking Merlin?

He wasn’t wishing Ethan to drop from the sky, was he? Why would he, though?

And no sir, he didn’t plan this unceremonious way of greeting a new staff. Without looking at the man, Ethan pushed himself on all fours, then stood up on his feet as he brushed his shirt and trousers with his hands. “I’m sorry about that, sir. I was just—" Ethan looked up to see…the interiors of the Groundskeeper’s hut. Was the man that small? It took him a while to look down at the man, but quickly gave him a warm smile. Merlin, it’s either the new keeper of keys was short, or the fourth year was tall for his age standing at 5'6". Ethan did not dare comment about it, instead he continued to talk like nothing happened. “Well, I wanted to welcome you in Hogwarts personally sir. I'm Ethan Mordaunt.” He said as he stuck out his hand. “…and I’m…sorry about the bang on your door.” He said eyeing the man’s wet shirt.

Oops?

Archie was glad that the boy picked himself up, because there was no way he had the physical strength to do any student lifting. He straightened up as the boy was now on his feet, and folded his arms across his chest to try and cover up his spillage. Thank Merlin, once again, for it not spilling over his trousers. "Ah, no harm..." He paused to look over his door. Archie squinted just to double check for any markings, "...done." He smiled reassuringly at the child. Wait, was he... peeking into his hut?

How rude.

Archie cleared his throat dramatically and soon lost his smile. "Thank you, Mister Mordaunt, that's very thoughtful of you." Although Archie kind of wanted to rename him Ethan Nosy-Parker Mordaunt. Pssht. He gave the boy a firm shake of the hand then resumed to cover his shirt with his arms folded. "Uhh...." Now what?

"Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?" Getting down with da kids was on his to-do list. "Mr Millard, by the way." If he wasn't listening during the feast.
