Will Kace ever show up? The sight of the Forbidden Forest was unsettling, and he can’t imagine how his Uncle Max was able to go inside that place and help get rid of the Chorts. Merlin, his mother’s only brother was an impressive one, and Ethan could not help but be proud of him. The man had vowed to look after Ethan, even from a distance, right after his mother’s passing. Sad times indeed, but they all must move on.

Ethan shifted his weight from his left foot to his right, his eyes never leaving the entrance to the said Forest. Who knows what could jump out from the inside, yes? The prefect also wondered if Mr. Millard has placed protective charms around the perimeter. It would be a sad thing to have his dog wander inside that place. He’d be mortified too, really.

The Slytherin stepped back and eyed the rose bushes near the mouth of the Forest. Merlin’s beard. The things he’d do just to practice and master the art of potion making.
