Ethan Adams

Ethan Adams is a twenty three year old member of the order, formerly of Hufflepuff descent. He is charming, has a good sense of humour though at times comes across as a little egotistical or cocky.

After everything, the heartache they had both endured, the attempts to move on and the sour gazes she gave her former boyfriend, it had all been a lie. They had listened to the words of a prior friend, one who was never truly a friend at all. She felt like a fool, for listening to Sophia and not even asking Ethan himself. If they’d communicated better, none of this would have lasted so long. She felt idiotic, and lost for words. Feeling his hand reach for hers, she did not protest, allowing him to slip his fingers with hers. She looked up, locking her gaze with his, heaving a sigh. “We both believed her, this is a mess we both made.” She shrugged, biting her lip in thought. Where did they go from here? So much time had past, was it really time to rekindle something that had been gone so long? Besides, Ethan had moved on, he had been in relationships since, nothing would return to how it was before. “What is there to say? She screwed us over….but…you’v—we’ve moved on…” She tried to hide her feelings, sighing deeply. “I wish things were different.”

Ethan didn’t quite know how he was feeling at that moment, his thoughts were occupied by the lie that he had believed for years, by the memories of the hostility that the pair shared after their break up. There was nothing either of them could do to take that back, to take back the words that had been said and the actions done. Perhaps if everything had been different, if they had chosen to ignore Sophia then everything would be as it should have been between them - he only wished that it could have been that way. An aching pain in his chest brought him to a stop as Natalia spoke, her words resonating deep within his stomach. She was right.. He had managed to moved on - not very easily but.. He had. But, that was all over now yet - he still felt an obligation to remain faithful to Faye.. Even though they hadn’t been together very long he cared for the deceased woman deeply, he still mourned her. “I do too..” He agreed, brows furrowing in sadness as he peered toward the young woman who formerly held his heart - the one he thought would have held it for the rest of his life. Yet now, all he felt when looking at her was an aching pain in his chest, a longing pain. “I’m sorry, Lia..” He sighed as his hand moved to his brow, thumb and forefinger smoothing over the area.

His words shocked her, her mouth opening slightly, almost like she wanted to speak up about her feelings, or voice her bliss from knowing it had all been a lie. However, she was unsure of how to approach such a confession. It was overwhelming, to see so many years had been a lie to them both, and that she lost the most important person to her because of the lies of Sophia. She wanted to speak up but no words left her lips, just mere gasps. She was unsure, now she just wanted to crawl and hide, he was not the man she perceived after all. “—- She lied?” She spoke up, disbelief in her eyes. “After everything—- it was all a lie?” She felt tears coming to her eyes, but instantly pushed them away. “We spent years apart, all for a damn lie.” She shouted, but mostly at herself, for being so stupid to believe someone over him. “Why didn’t you say anything?” She asked, wondering how Sophia had kept him quiet.

Ethan watched as his former girlfriend processed the new found information and he immediately noticed her eyes beginning to glaze over. Reaching out slowly, he gently took her hand in his over the table. “Lia..” He spoke the nickname gently as the pad of his thumb swiped over her knuckles. As she questioned him, his brows knitted together and he lowered his gaze, a slight sigh passing his lips. “I-” He shook his head. “She told me that you cheated on me..” Ethan sighed, shaking his head once again. “I was stupid to believe her- I know you better than that-” He cut himself off and broke the contact between their hands as he stood up from the table and began to pace across the room, hands swiping up and back through his hair. “I can’t believe I trusted her word..” He muttered to himself.

She wondered if she was trying too hard, or if he appreciated what she was doing to mend their broken friendship. Perhaps it was something that was not ought to be fixed, but she would to continue to try despite her endless failed attempts. /She missed what they had, even if it was a long time ago now. It was time for her mind to find anew, and begin to move on like she planned to. However, this did not dismiss a friendship with him, even if every part of her ached for him. She chose not to fixate too much on the past, pushing the thoughts from her mind and continued to tuck into her food. She looked upwards after a mouthful, seeing his expression. She noticed concern on his features, or perhaps she was being too paranoid. “Everything alright?” Natalia asked, head tilting slightly with a weak smile raising to her features. 

Wordlessly, Ethan began to tuck into his food - surely that would keep him distracted from spilling the news to the woman. His thoughts ran wild, wondering what exactly could come from telling her - perhaps it would change her outlook on him for the better, or maybe for the worse. He barely heard the question over his own thoughts but quickly snapped back to reality as he peered across the table at the blonde, a smile crossing his face as he connected their gaze. “Yeah, everything is great I just-” He stopped himself and shook his head, biting down on his bottom lip for a moment. “I bumped into Sophia a few days ago - she’s quite the delight now..” Ethan sighed with a roll of his eyes, shoulders shrugging as he tried to form a stable sentence before opening his mouth once again. “She told me something that I haven’t really been able to stop thinking about but.. Chances are it will change a lot of aspects of.. This.” He exhaled heavily as his brows knitted together. Shaking his head once again, Ethan just decided to raise his hands, palms facing her as a smile crossed his face. “Lia.. I didn’t cheat on you - she made it all up.” It felt like a huge weight was lifted from his shoulders as soon as the words left his lips.

It had been many years since she had created such a lie, one that sometimes burdened her mind, but one she had learned to push to the back of her mind and forget about. She had been a jealous teenager, watching her two best friends get closer together, and it angered her beyond belief. That was when she made up the lie, to ensure that her friends remained separate, and she had both of their attentions afterwards. Her plan had been foolproof, although now, she knew she had been petty. But as she kept up her act as a Death Eater, she continued to sound careless. “You’ve finally pieced it together, good for you.” She mused, a chuckle leaving her lips. “I’d say petty, not heartless. Teenagers do some careless things.” She chuckled, shrugging her shoulders. She did not truly care what he thought now, her mind was elsewhere, and she knew she had lost him as a friend far before she revealed the truth.

Ethan’s brows furrowed for a moment as he looked toward his former best friend, head shaking. He barely recognised her, she had changed so much in personality yet.. She looked almost the same. “What happened to you Soph? What happened to cause you to be so.. So bitter?” He questioned her, concern lacing his tone as he allowed his gaze to fall to the ground. The information he had just been given was a lot to process and, he knew he would have to be the one to tell Natalia but.. He didn’t know what that would mean for them. A hand fell back through his hair as he peered back toward the brunette. “You were our friend..” He spoke, he couldn’t quite believe that she could have done such a thing but.. It would explain Natalia’s hostility toward him when he had thought she was the one to do the cheating..

“You look tired.” Addison stated, looking up at her friend. “The hospital still that manic?” She asked, knowing that since those who had been taken prisoner had returned, there was a constant buzz in the place. She’d noticed it when she’d dropped supplies off last. “Or is this just the long term effect?” 

Ethan yawned in response to his friend’s statement then laughed lightly, shaking his head to rid himself of the yawn. “I know, I’m sorry. I thought it would have gotten better by now. Don’t get me wrong, its definitely not as manic as it was a couple of weeks ago but, somehow, we’re still rushed off our feet.” The young man shrugged. “I guess it’s probably a long term effect too.” He said with a laugh. “How are you holding up?”

    Ethan & Natalia

@adamethans·

She was feeling more optimistic these days, more so than she had in a very long time. She had finally come to terms with it all, being strong and working for the order was showing the good in her. Not only that, but her friendship with Ethan was growing, and she had finally begun to put her head in a place where it could begin to move on. She felt positive, as if she could finally begin her life again. Natalia had made something for herself, and Ethan to eat. She wanted to surprise him. Lasagne, tt had always been their favourite. She placed the plate down in front of him, before sitting down at the place beside him. “Surprise, I thought it’d make the day a little better.” She beamed, too eager to stop herself from eating a small amount from her plate.

Ethan was almost about to burst, after his conversation with Sophia Nesson, his former best friend, in which he had found out that the reason he and Natalia had broken up was fiction, and that she had thought the same of him. He sat at the table in the young woman’s home, foot tapping restlessly as he urged himself to refrain from telling her. He thought it selfish to tell her, he didn’t know if she had even begun to move on from him but if she had.. Telling her would only open each of her wounds once again and ruin any progress that she could have made. Which, probably, wouldn’t have been a bad thing for Ethan, considering the way his thoughts were rumbling around in his mind. Merlin, did he want to tell her - to promise her that he had never cheated on her, that he had never wanted to or dreamed of doing so. As the plate was placed down in front of him, the young man’s lips parted for a moment before he peered up at the young woman, a large smile tugging at the corners of his lips. “You’re the best, Lia.” He told her as his lips stretched into a wide grin.

It was not as if she was a cruel person, not particularly. It was more to do with her hatred for her prior friends. Ethan and Natalia had been her childhood friends long ago, and their blooming relationship was growing in front of her. She was spiteful of them, jealousy becoming stronger each day she became neglected by the two. It did not help that Sophia had fallen for Ethan a long time ago— making her incredibly interested in hurting Natalia any way she could. So she lied— plain and simple. “Not a bitch per say, just truthful.” She shrugged, an amused expression on her lips. “It’s not a lie, though is it? It all started when you cheated on Natalia—- oops.” She covered her mouth, thinking for a moment. “Or was it the other way around?” She thought, shrugging. 

Ethan watched the young woman, listening to her speak before his lips parted, eyebrows furrowing. “I didn’t cheat on Natalia, you know that. You said she-” The cogs in his mind began to turn as he studied a few memories. “You said she cheated on me. You-” He stopped once again then quickly shook his head, taking a step back from her, shaking his head as the truth finally dawned on him. “You lied...” Ethan breathed, his voice filling the silence that surrounded them. “How could you be so heartless?” He asked the girl, one of his former best friends. The girl he knew her to be would never have done such a thing yet, perhaps he didn’t know her all that well at all.

It was all too good to be true, surely after everything they could not return to how they were. There had been too much deceit on his part, she no longer trusted him the way she used to. They had dealt with far too much, and she needed to truly move on from him. Apart of her still longed for him, that was the cruel part. “I still care for you also, but things are hard. I don’t know if we can truly return to how things were.” She sighed, lowering her glance from him. She hoped they could, even if it did still hurt. “Maybe one day we’ll get there— I hope.” She smiled weakly, “And things will be happier for us both, no longer will we deal with this war, one day it’ll be over.”

Ethan exhaled heavily then ran a hand back through his hair, shrugging his shoulders as Natalia spoke. He didn’t know what he was expecting, after the way he had treated her once he found out about her cheating it was likely that she would never want to speak to him again. Yet, he still felt as though he couldn’t really trust her.. Trust was a big thing for Ethan, Natalia knew that and she still chose to break his. “Perhaps they don’t have to be the same as they were.. Maybe they could be different. I just, miss having you as my friend, Lia.” He admitted with a light sigh.

      She had not expected to see him, not so soon after the battle between both sides. Sophia was not really a Death Eater, though knowing that she remained unsafe on either side, she pretended to go along with it. However, she resembled that kind of person, she was callous, and often cruel to those she supposedly cared about. As she spotted him, Sophia signalled him over with an frown on her lips— though this was overplayed. “I’m sorry to hear about your girlfriend.” She told him, pouting her lips, “Another one bites the dust.” She spoke, in relation to his past relationships that never lasted.

Ethan’s gaze immediately settled on the face of his former friend, huffing heavily as she signaled him over he began to make his way toward her. Once he was close and she spoke, his gaze fell to the ground. “Wow, you really have turned into quite the bitch haven’t you, Sophia?” Ethan scoffed, shaking his head as he tried to play as though he wasn’t phased by her comment.

“I think anyone who was almost burned alive is allowed their fair share of alcohol.” He shrugged, playing it off. Though, where was his excuse before that?

“Okay I’ll give you that one. How about, you take the potions and I'll smuggle you a bottle of whiskey in?” Ethan raised a brow, hoping his bribe would work.

She just wanted some normality, and in normal situations, you would assume it was not a huge ask. However, the current situation permitted such things, and meant that they currently all dealt with grief and anguish. She only hoped it would fizzle out soon, and that they would return to how they remembered life to be. She only hooped things would, but for them it may be too late. Harm had been caused, and she no longer trusted him the same way. Nothing would bring that back. “I’m sure she is watching down on you and hoping you stay strong for her— which I know you can.” She weakly smiled, eyes lighting up as she did. “It shouldn’t mean much— things between us have been tough for so long now.” She admitted, lowering her head. She never intended to voice, it but the truth would come out eventually.

Ethan searched the eyes of the woman opposite him, his own gaze softening as she spoke. He didn’t believe what she was saying, he didn’t really believe that he would be able to remain strong through this.. Though he was glad to know that he could have Natalia there for him, even if it wasn’t in the best of circumstances. As the woman continued to speak, Ethan exhaled heavily and nodded his head, lowering his gaze to the ground he shifted from foot to foot. “I know.. I’m sorry it’s just hard to.. Get back to a good place after everything that happened that’s all. But, I do still care about you.. Very much so.” He offered a gentle smile as his gaze moved back to connect with hers.

Andrew sighed and shook his head, taking the phial but not doing anything with it just yet. “A friend would bring me a shot to get rid of the awful taste this potion will leave in my mouth.” He joked. Though he had little intention of taking the potion.

Ethan rolled his eyes at the male with a light laugh. “I think we need to get you signed up for some ‘AA’ meetings while we’re at it.” The young man spoke.

[adamethans]

“I’m fine.” Andrew told his friend, more forcefully this time. “Other people need it more – you must be low on supplies.” It wasn’t just that, of course, but it made for a compelling argument. “I’ll be fine without it, Ethan.” Even so, he could feel the aching throughout his whole body, still trying to cope with the ordeal.

Andrew was right about them being low on supplies, a number of the captives had been hurt substantially by the Death Eaters.. Though Andrew had to be among the worst. “I’m not taking no as an answer.. I’m doing this as your friend, Andrew.. Not your doctor.” He spoke, offering out a phial toward the male.

[adamethans]

Andrew sighed at his friend’s response and shook his head slightly, gaze moving to the window. “More?” He looked back at his friend. “I’ll be fine without them. I already feel better.” He said, though he was talking a little slower than he might have otherwise, being careful not to make the pain in his jaw any worse with sharp movements. 

Ethan sighed heavily.. Just as expected. He knew it would be difficult for Andrew to accept that he needed the help, if he knew anything about the blond male it was that he was incredibly selfless. “No, you don’t.. And that’s okay. Andrew, you need them.” Ethan spoke in hope of convincing the male.

Waking up, Andrew felt a lot better than he had when he’d lost consciousness before. It was not shocking, considering he was now in the hospital. He groaned, blinking in an effort to wake himself up further, and tried pushing himself up on the bed. He winced in pain, but managed to sit up nonetheless. That’s when he noticed the other figure in the room and looked up to see his friend standing at the end of his bed. “That’s a bit creepy, you know.” Andrew stated, wincing a little as he spoke. His hand came up to his jaw as a reflex. “Even if you work here.” 

A smile crossed Ethan’s lips as he noticed his friend begin to awaken. Thank Merlin.. He’d been worried. Honestly, he hadn’t seen anyone in a worse shape than what Andrew had been delivered in. The young man rolled his eyes and shook his head before slowly making his way around the side of the bed. “I was just about to wake you.. There’s a few potions I need you to take.” Ethan told the male, eyebrow raised. If he knew Andrew as well as he thought he did, he knew what his response would be.

No words would truly make up for the pain Ethan was feeling, and therefore, Natalia decided to remain silent, allowing him to gather up his thoughts and express his feelings. She could not imagine the pain he was feeling, the loss of a loved one was beyond imagination. All she knew was she could be there for him, even if deep down it hurt her to know he had fallen in love again. She sighed, tightening her grip around him as she held him close. “I know— I’m so sorry. Things will get better.” She told him, a small smile on her lips. “She would want you to be strong, to fight this war with us, to make her loss meaningful.” She leaned back so she could look at him, her hands moving to cradle his face. “I know this wont mean much  but— I’m here for you.”

Peering into the eyes of the girl who used to hold his heart seemed somewhat bittersweet in that moment. Ethan only wished that things had turned out differently for them, during their time together he had loved her so deeply and wholeheartedly - his every thought was occupied by her and his dreams filled with their future together. Yet here he was, standing with her and mourning the loss of another girl who had begun healing his heart. He nodded in response to her comment, lips tugging down sadly. “I just wish she could be here to fight with us.” He sighed, shaking his head with a light laugh. “She would have loved to see the smug look on the faces of every Death Eater disappear.” As Natalia spoke once again, Ethan felt a warmth rise through his chest as his arms encased the woman once again, feeling comfort in her embrace. “It means everything, Lia..”
