HEADCANON #1 FOR ETHAN PRINCE:
In his fifth year, Ethan managed to achieve twelve OWLS. Two Exceeds Expectations, Ten Outstandings. His grandmother told him that for his acceptable performance, he'll be rewarded with a boon. He asked her to let him have a pet, and she accepted, but picked his for him, giving him a Eurasian Eagle Owl named Alphonse. Ethan still thinks that his grandmother devised some magical way to spy on him using the owl, who's notoriously ill tempered and has a habit of attacking other owls and pets.
