Things back at the castle were calm and dead as prefects made their nightly rounds. The group arrived at the edge of the forest and waited for the right moment. It came as three young men, two behind the first who had radiant silver-blonde hair, turned around a corner and out of sight. Splitting up, they did as they were instructed. As the night grew late and they returned to their village in the treetops.
The morning came and the castle bustled with life once again. Everyone was going about their business as usual, unaware of the fact they were being watched. One of the magi had stayed behind out of curiosity. It was Tala; the teenage girl who had given the instructions of the night before. She noted that as bells sounded, the halls became crowded and cleared again.
She went back to the depths of the forest and then to her own treehouse. It was the highest and center of the whole village, and rested. ---------

Draco

"Great! Charms next, then double Care of Magical Creatures." he breathed heavily in disgust.

~Hope that great oaf doesn't have some man-eating dustbunnies or something like that this time.

Goyle

"Yeah. Just hope that he isn't going to use his little brother."

~Oh I hope he doesn't.

Draco

"Well, have either of you seen today's Daily Prophet?"

~I know they haven't, they were too busy looking at brooms.

Goyle

"No. But I have a question about last week's. What are magi?"

~Oh boy. Now I've had it. .

Draco

"They're like wizards, but they need certain resources to do their magic. Like, magic dust, pixies,etc., they can take any animal form, and they don't do that much magic. Father says they've been in the Forest for a couple of decades now."

~I really wish they'd read some now and then. -------------------
They finished with Charms and were headed to Hagrid's for next lesson. It was late in the afternoon, and Hagrid was geared to go into the forest. "Today we're goin' ter look at the pegasus." he said, while a few girls cuwed in the back. "Righ'. Le's go." He grabbed a large basket of grass and apples, and lead them into the forest. They had hiked into the woods so far that there was very little light reaching the ground, when finally they came to a halt and Hagrid place the basket on the ground, stepped back, and pulled a small silver whistle from his pocket and blew it. There was a high pitched sound that echoed through the trees, and everyone went silent and stayed silent.
