Seeing Things

[Willow Jaye Hydran]

September

Willow Jaye Hydran had some how managed to get herself lost in the Forbidden forest. She had no idea how, she had no idea when it had happened, she didn't know why she had come down here, but she had and now she was going to pay the price. Unfortunately, not only did she not know what the price would be, she wasn't sure she was going to be very healthy afterwards. She had been too stupid to stay away in the end. It was a sad truth about her, she was far too curious and she would put herself in a lot of danger just to find out the most miniscule of information. It wasn't her best trait, but it certainly wasn't the worst of her traits either. Honestly, she could probably do something to help with this situation, but sitting on a log as she currently was, was the only thing she could think of. After all, she would rather be found by a professor and get into a lot of trouble then be eaten by some nasty creature in the woods. She doubted her ability to be able to keep herself terribly safe. More then likely something would eat her before she even noticed. She had just wondered out here in search of a certain Herbology ingredient only to get lost in the search. Before she knew it the sun was starting to go down and the temperature was falling rapidly. Her skirt only came to above her knees, so unless she could remember that spell to find ones way, she was screwed.

Willow pulled her robe tighter around her and crossed her legs, leaning down to try and get more warmth. She was never going to do this with out a professor ever again, it was probably one of the dumbest things she had ever done! Although, she supposed she could continue looking for some ingredients, after all, if she was going to freeze to death out here, she might as well do so after finding what she had been out here to find in the first place. Nodding at herself as she made up her mind and ignoring the fact that she would get even dirtier now then she already was, Willow stepped off of the log and sunk to the ground to look around the base of the trees and the undergrowth of the log. She wasn't entirely sure what she was looking for, but she was confident that she would know it when she found it. At least, that was what she hoped anyway. Clawing through the dirt and soil of the undergrowth, all Willow was managing to do was break her nails, gets her legs and skirt dirty and find a bunch of earth worms, it was gross. She didn't mind getting her hands dirty for the sake of research, but this was ridiculous. Sighing and resigning to the fact that she would probably be out here all night, Willow moved away from the undergrowth and closes to the trunks. Maybe she would have more luck there.

[Killua Freecss]

Killua Freecss wasn't up to having dinner in the Great Hall tonight. He knew not the reason for this sudden decision of his but he was as sure as hell that he wasn't hungry. For all he knew, he would rather walk around the dungeons or the castle as he had always done for the past six years of his stay in Hogwarts New Zealand. He was confident in his abilities and if there was anyone in his year that knew his way around the dungeons the best, it would probably be him. He had ended up getting lost within those cold walls and nearly endless halls countless of times and because of it, he already knew the ways around even those that were absolutely confusing to most people, even to Slytherins like him. In fact, it wasn't only Slytherins that get lost there. Almost everyone did and Kil would often find one or two students struggling to find their ways out of the basement and he would often help them though as discreetly as possible, like using lumos to guide them or something. That always helped. Though this time, it was not the dungeons that he wanted to explore. This time, he was going for the Forbidden Forest.

Killua had often trudged the Cliffs and Forbidden Forest. Especially the forest, though he was smart enough to know that he shouldn't go deep if he wasn't even familiar with the shallow parts of the forest. And so, every year, in a very discreet manner, he would often escape and sneak out to explore the forest. Most times, the place was just too dark, aside from that was nothing harmless. In others, he would have to climb trees to keep himself safe, and it others he ran back to the border. Nevertheless, he would continue on with his explorations and escapades that it could perhaps be said that he feared nothing. Tonight was one of the nights that he decided for the forest. He was dressed in clothes comfortable for the cold though he was very much used to scorching hot and freezing cold weathers thanks to his training. Hands in his pockets, he walked deeper and deeper into the forest as he familiarized himself with every tree and plant and path that he passed through, most were ones that he had passed countless of times. Soon enough, he had heard the crunching of twigs and the shifting of the earth nearby and he tried to enhance his senses to accommodate himself and ensure his safety. Well, if that thing was a predator then he wasn't very good at hiding its presence and so, cautiously he trudged forward and saw a girl. He raised a curious brow at this wondering what the girl was doing in the forest this late, and in her uniform and robes too. It was a chilly night after all. "What are you doing here?" he asked her out of nowhere though he should have thought of the possibility of surprising her to death.
