Ethan stood with his Manormates in the Plaza of Beginnings, where his adventures in Brynhildr Academy started.
Luna and Lilian were standing beside him and holding his hand. They had arrived last night and were too tired from their journey to do anything but sleep.
However, the two looked energized and very excited as they chatted with Ethan and George about the possibility of having a new member in Dud Manor this year.
“While it’s not impossible, there are times when Dud Manor doesn't receive any new students at the start of a new school term,” George explained. “Not all Duds have the guts to apply to an academy of Magic because of discrimination.
“Fortunately, that mentality has changed a bit, especially after Ethan joined us last year—but he’s an exception. I think unless someone from Dud Manor becomes the next Fortis Dud, our future members will still face dark and difficult times.”
Ethan and the other members of the Dud Manor all nodded their heads at the same time.
