The mist is wispy on the fringes but thick if one were to make their way into it.

So thick that you wouldn't be able to make out right from left. So thick that you can't see anything beyond it.

"Okay, who's idea was this?" she asked with a chuckle, because it had to be someone's idea of a prank, right? Then again, this was Hogwarts. But nothing had been happening all this term (no, she hadn't been paying attention to the whole creature drama. Like, she knew something had happened, but not that all of them had taken off out of the forest.), so it was probably some kind of prank.

Also, she pulled her wand out and performed a quick Lumos so she could see.

The indoors was the best place to study, but sometimes it was nice to get a change of scenery. Sometimes a new setting provided new opportunities to better understand the material one was studying. That was why Ben was outside by the lake, reading one of his creatures textbooks and taking notes, despite the cold. Layers of clothing and warming charms made the temperature much less of a concern anyway.

He was not sure how long he had been out here, outside of an estimated guess based on the number of chapters he had gotten through, but seemingly out of nowhere, he was squinting to read, a fog now obscuring his view. How had he not noticed this until now? Did fog really appear this spontaneously? Did it suddenly feel several degrees colder, or was that just his imagination, or perhaps his charms wearing off?

It was almost fascinating until he realized the misty air was making the pages of his book and his notes damp. Merlin's beard! He carefully folded his notes and put them inside the book, tucked his quill and ink and book into his bag, and stood.

Only... Which way was the castle again? He was pretty sure the lake was to his right, but the fog was so thick it made him doubt his own sense of direction.

Then suddenly there was a slight change in the mist in one direction, something that looked like a light. Perhaps someone else out in the mist too? Maybe he wasn't alone then, and someone was around to help.

Then again...hadn't he read earlier about a creature that appeared with a light in settings like this to lure people to their doom? A hinkypunk, wasn't it? There was no bog or swamp on the grounds, though, unless someone had added one without him noticing.

Still, it didn't hurt to be cautious, so he drew his wand and lit it with a quick "Lumos." "Hello?" he called.
