Crystal had been thinking a lot of going into the forbidden forest again. The first time she was with an group of people, and she wasn't sure if they al matched. Although she felt safe with all boys around her in a way. She didn't dared to go alone, but she wanted to go her curiousity won and she had asked Louis to come along. Since they had spoken about the forest and creatures inside. The blonde didn't want to break rules or be an bad student, but her fascination was for magical creatures. And around the castle grounds she didn't spot one yet. So they had to be hidden here. The blonde was nervous as she made her way to the forbidden forest. It wasn't dark yet, but it was eating time in the evening. So everyone must be inside, so that she and Louis could go. With her wand inside of her pocket and an bag with some food and water she made her way to the forest. And waited there. With big eyes she looked around. Suddenly she felt all scared, what if Louis would not come? She liked Louis as her friend, but she hoped the people who saw her as her friend would not get bored of her. Crystal wanted to be liked by others, and it had to stay that way. She startled by an sound she heard in the forest.

Louis had been happy to take the opportunity to go into the forest when Crystal asked him. Last time had been a bit of a disaster, mostly because there had been way too many (annoying) people there. He knew Crystal was probably a bit nervous but was sure he could protect her if it was necessary. But he also didn't think there was that much to be afraid of in the forest. Louis was a bit sad to miss dinner, but he made his way to the forest at the time they had agreed on. He lit up his wand to look around a bit better and then spotted Crystal. She already looked kind of terrified. Louis couldn't help himself, he quickly turned off the light of his wand and crept closer to her. "Boo!" He said when he was close enough. Not quite yelling, as he didn't want to be discovered before they were even in the forest.
 
As Crystal waited and tried to not freak out she figured she heard something. The first reflex she had was to throw something or her bag, but than she rememberd she was an witch. But she didn't even knew a lot of spells. And she was way to long with thinking, she could have been attacked already. And than she heard an yell someone calling boo! Crystel made an scary noice, but not too loud. '' Who is there?'' She than asked but figured she could turn on the light. She had put it out because otherwise people could have saw her. The blonde than quickly turned on the light on her wand and startled again as she noticed Louis in front of her. '' Louis!'' She than said and smiled shy. But now she needed to act tough, because she was with an Gryffindor. '' Thanks.. for coming. S-shall we go?'' The blonde than said. Crystal didn't knew where she was more scared of. Not even for the creatures of what was inside of the forest, but more of getting caught or Louis thinking of her as stupid.
 
Louis couldn't help laughing at Crystal's reaction. He grinned at her as she shined the light on him. "Sorry, just me." He said, holding up his hands to show he meant no harm. He had wondered if scaring Crystal would make her want to turn around and leave, but he was pleasantly surprised when she didn't. He nodded at her question, pointing his own lit wand at the forest. "Let's go. I bet we'll get much farther than last time." He told her. "Maybe we'll even see a unicorn." He added, hoping it would help motivate her, if she had any doubts left.
 
As Crystal tried to calm herself from getting startled and glad it was Louis and no professor she watched into the forest. The last time they were here, was with an larger group and way more easy to spot. So it was better that they were with two she figured. She figured her parents and Athena would not agree with her being here, but Crystal didn't tried to think of that too much. She just needed to see the creatures with her own eyes if she had the chance. As Louis mentioned unicorn she smiled bright, that would be awesome she never had saw one. '' That would be amazing!'' She said excited, almost forgetting she was at an very dark forest and they were not supposed to be here. The blonde looked at her wand an than to Louis, kind of waiting for him to go first. '' Should we keep on the lights?'' The blonde asked nervously, if they had nothing they could not see an thing, but they could get caught more easily. Perhaps one light one was good?
 
Louis grinned as Crystal got excited about the unicorns, he was glad he had said the right thing to stop her from worrying too much. “I heard the older students taking Care of Magical Creatures got to pet unicorns, so they have to be somewhere.” He said. It was totally unfair only older students got to do stuff like that. But he knew there was nothing to be done about it. “Probably smart.” He said when she asked if they should keep the lights on. “Means we’re less likely to bump into things or trip.” He said with a shrug. Louis wasn’t very worried about getting caught, fairly confident he could use his uncle’s position as a professor to get out of trouble.
 
Crystal didn't want to ask dumb questions but perhaps she had. But she was glad Louis was here with her, and that he actually wanted to come along. As he spoke of the unicorns she could not wait to get Care of Magical Creatures herself. '' I wish we could do that already.'' The blonde than said with an small smile. It was indeed smart to put on the light and she nodded. The blonde looked behind her and than back to Louis as she kept on her light and hold her wand up. '' Yeah.'' The blonde answered. As she wanted to move forward she suddenly tripped over an tree trunk. Well with lights on she would trip as well. The blonde sighted and made an painfull noice softly. Her cheeks turned red, it was good that it was dark. How stupid! She felt at her knee for an moment and than stood up slowly. '' Lets.. go.'' She than said and suddenly felt the need to show she was not stupid and go first.
 
Louis sighed when Crystal said she wished they could take Care of Magical Creatures already, nodding in agreement. “Same, it sounds like the one subject at Hogwarts that’s actually fun.” He said, though he didn’t hate all his subjects. He just hated the long and boring lectures that came with most of them. They started to move into the forest, but even though they had their lights on, Crystal almost immediately tripped over something. Louis winced and held out his hand to help her up. “You okay?” He asked, glad that at least this didn’t seem to stop her from wanting to go into the forest. He wasn’t having to convince her as much as he had feared, which was good.
