"You- you can't.... The tree."

When he was finally sure they were a safe distance away, he allowed his hold on Nina's arm to loosen and took a moment to try and formulate a sentence. "You don't want to go near the Whomping Willow, Nina!" Jó said, glancing over at the tree and hoping something would disturb it so he didn't look like a crazy person.
The look of confusion Nina wore only grew deeper, as Józef tugged her further and further away from the tree. She quirked her head to the side, silently asking him to clarify as his explanation did a poor job at explaining his onset panic and slightly aggressive pull. It was only when he said 'whomping willow' that realization hit the young Slytherin in the same way one of the tree's branches would have had she gone close enough.

The Whomping Willow.

How could she have been so careless?! Of course she hadn't ever had an experience with the tree before, but she knew enough about the castle to know that it existed somewhere on the grounds. Evidently she hadn't ever stumbled upon it until now.

Her eyes grew big in, at first, shock before shifting to a look of absolute gratefulness. "Józef, you saved my life?" It came out as more of a statement rather than a question. "How can I ever repay you?" Words she didn't often put out into the universe as they often begged for unwanted favors. Her whole body trembled at the thought that something could have happened if she had stepped any further towards the tree.
