Nigel had no idea why he would be in the Forbidden Forrest alone without his wand. It was just to impossible to believe. But it was a question and Nigel did have an answer. It might be an improbable answers. But whatever. He knew everyone else would say the north star. But Nigel was not sure if Hogwarts was located to the north.

"Well, If a centaur happened to be near. You could ask it how to get out of the Forrest and if the centaur is in a nice mood. It might help you."

Nigel did like playing hypothetical games. They were pretty fun.
