It was about time Amory had his second go at the forbidden forest. Last year he had been rudely interrupted on his little trip with Felix, this time though he'd try to be more mindful where he stepped. As much as he wanted to see what the forest might hold he didn't want to disturb those who lived there too much. The Slytherin had his wand out just in case and besides the sun was going to set soon, so Lumos, the charm not his dormmate thank you very much, would come in handy no doubt.
 
Echo was stupid. Any students that wanted to go in the forest the moment they stepped into the school grounds were bound to get found out by professors. Those that were smart however would wait until the other students had more or less gotten bored, and as such the professors would no longer bother to be on the lookout. Apparently, Amory wasn't stupid either as she saw him heading in the direction of the trees. "Going somewhere?" she called out to him.
 
Amory was just about to enter when he heard a familiar, yet not sure whose, voice behind him. Had he been the least bit of jumpy that might have caught him off guard and caused a scare of some sorts, but lucky for him he wasn't jumpy. Turning around his gaze met that of a first year from his very house, he recognized her now as Demi's younger sister. Echo or something. "Yes actually and looks like you are too so I suggest you put some pep in your step and get over here before someone sees us go in." He told her quietly, beckoning her over. He wasn't about to get caught because a first year was snailing around. Without giving her much more time he dove in between the trees himself, whether she followed him or not was up to her.
 
"That's not pep in my step you pixie brain, that's a very expensive footbed," Echo hurried after the fool, raising her own wand because she wasn't about to get closer to the trees without it. She wasn't sure Amory was bright enough that even Lumos was going to save the situation, so it was probably a good thing she was here too. Safety in numbers and all that. "I'm here because I'm not letting you go in on your own, not because I care about what's in there," Actually her parents had been in there and told her of the creatures that could roam in a forest, so it was probably a second benefit of Amory's that he had her with him too.
 
Amory didn't hide the eyeroll, nasty creatures these Zephyr girls. Glaring at the girl he made sure to not step on anything suspicious looking. "As if a first year is going to offer me much help, for all I know you might just freeze up at the sight of an owl flying above the tree line, I am not taking any responsibility over you. Got it?" He shot back, casting a Lumos as soon as they were far enough in for the light to not alarm others as easily outside of the woods.
 
"Right, because by the time you're a second year you've mastered the art of defense," she muttered back, catching up to Amory's longer strides but careful not to trip over any branches. "I'm a first year, not an idiot," Echo didn't like to be thought of as weak, and even if she was just better at following after other people than she was at leading, that didn't mean she was going to just run away at the first sign of something being uncomfortable. Amory was apparently insistent on shining a beacon through the trees, although in all honestly it was a lot darker in here than Echo had initially believed it to be. "So are you hiding from something, or trying to find something hiding?"
 
Letting out a long sigh, to try and not say anything rude Amory just continued without a word. He wasn't looking to insult around just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. "Neither I just wanted to take a look around. See what the forest may hold and what all the fuss has been about at the start of year feasts." It was the god honest truth. He just wanted to see what there was. Making his steps a little shorter just for the sake of the girl the Slytherin looked around. There were only really trees around. A lot of them.
 
Cecras had noted a shift in habits of young wand carriers in recent years as fewer of them strayed into the Dark Forest without supervision from their elders. A welcome change but he feared not a permanent one and as such, Cecras remained vigilant and continued his patrols. On this occasion, his ears detected the unmistakable sound of young wand carriers in the forest again. They were too loud, too unguarded and too unaware. Cecras took position upon a rocky rise where he watched them. He exhaled through his nose and flicked his tail in quiet disapproval at the small and foolish humans wandering the forest. He would watch. He would wait. The stars had not yet revealed their fate.
