| | Forbidden Forest At the edges of the grounds of Hogwarts borders the Forbidden Forest, also known as the Dark Forest. The forest holds many secrets and in its depths, hidden in the shadows dwells creatures who are not only of a friendly nature. All the rumors you have heard of the forest are probably more correct than not and you would do good to keep at a safe distance from this ominous place. And please, keep your voice down.
As the name implies; it is strictly off limits for students (yes, that means you too Gryffindors). Get too close and the Groundskeeper will shoo you away to safety. No student is to enter the Forest without accompanied by a professor. You wouldn't dare to enter the Forest after these warnings... would you?

Austin wanted to see what was in the forest, could it be so bad? He started walking towards the forest not bothering to hessitate.

Piers spent quite a bit of time outdoors these days. Of course, it all started when he "retired" from Hogwarts the first time and started his "retired" life job as a doggy daycare owner and personal gardener, he naturally, had a lot of time outdoors working. Thankfully, he scored the spot as the groundskeeper, so that could continue, to an extent, while he was at Hogwarts.
And it was GOOD thing he had so much time outside, because he was tending to his garden when movement by the forest caught his eye. And it was a student. A first year Slytherin. Of course, Piers cared about ALL the students at Hogwarts, but he CERTAINLY couldn't let a Slytherin die on his watch. "Oi!" Piers shouted, standing up, waving an arm at the kid. What was his name again? Austin? Yeah, that sounded right.
Ditching his garden, Piers jogged over to the forest line to try and stop the first year from going any further. The forest was always a bit of concern. The edge of the forest obviously wasn't too dangerous, but with the thestrals and unicorns showing up recently... Piers didn't know what was going on in there. "Hey, uh, Austin? That's your name, right?" He was pretty sure that was his name. "You know, it's kind of against the rules to go into forest." That was general knowledge, right? The Headmaster had mentioned that in his speech, hadn't he? |

Austin looked up at the groundskeeper. Well, yeah but it didn't stop him from being curious. Talk, you need to talk now. Wait, was talking required? That's one thing he and the headmaster had agreed upon was that he would talk more.
He nodded at the mention of his name. Yes, that was right. "Sorry, was curious," He said softly, hopefully, loud enough for the groundskeeper to hear him. But he didn't quite make eye contact, that was still difficult for him. But, at least he was talking.

But he didn't quite make eye contact, that was still difficult for him. But, at least he was talking. As Piers neared the boy, he remembered that he was a bit.. shy or something and didn't always like to talk. But that was fine - not really a problem. If he could just nod or something to signify that he understood --
Oh, good. He was speaking. Piers was relieved at that and at the fact that he wasn't going to put up a fight and insist he was grown enough to go into the forest. Because everyone knew that didn't end well the last time that happened. "Curiosity is just fine, my friend," Piers said, gently patting the young boy on the shoulder. He noticed the lack of eye contact and quickly pulled his hand back, just in case that made him uncomfortable. "I would just suggest being curious from a little farther away, though. You know, the library has great books on the forest." Piers was a big fan of BOOKS. They weren't very often dangerous, you know? |

Okay, agreed. Austin nodded. He didn't need to talk for this. Was he going to be in trouble though? By the sound of it, probably not. Maybe a warning.

That was a good sign. "Alright, cool," Piers said, guiding his young Slytherin away from the edge of the forest. It was stressful, you know, being in charge of all the Slytherins. They were reckless sometimes. But usually smart. Thank Merlin he wasn't in charge of the Gryffindors. He wouldn't last. "You, uh... having a good time so far? Hogwarts treating you well?" It was a yes or no question, so he could answer or just nod again. This was Piers' attempt at making an effort with his Slytherins. This one seemed particularly shy, so whatever he could do to help him out, he would. |

Austin nodded again and began following him. For the most part, yeah. Hogwarts was treating him well. He guessed being half magic helped with understanding most of Hogwarts in general.

Piers was just glad he was willing to walk away from the forest and not put up a fight. He did seem like a good kid.
Once they were a safe distance from the forest and closer to Piers' hut, he gave the boy a nod and gestured back to the castle, hoping he would run off and find a different extra curricular activity that didn't involve the forbidden forest. "Well, you let me know if you need anything. I'm never far." Then he gave Austin a friendly smile. There. No harm done. |

Austin nodded to him and headed back the rest of the way to the castle. He doesn't think he had heard his voice yet. Hum.

Hogwarts RPG Name: The Narrator | follow me; everything is all right.
On this cold and dreary January afternoon, a thick mist begins seeping from the forest. It engulfs the trees, crawling as if a living entity as it goes along. Does it seem a little colder than usual? Perhaps it’s the crisp breeze that accompanies the intangible force.
It steadily makes its way clear of the trees but ominously enough, comes to a stop as if pondering its next move.
Rain on the horizon maybe.
