*SWOOSH*

One of its branches hurled forward...

*THUD*

It landed on the grass, right next to the boy's head. Annoyed, it straightened up, reaching its branches up into the sky, ready to let its anger show once more.

The young students were playing a dangerous game. It wasn't known for missing twice.

Daehyun was beginning to breathe hard upon noticing the Whomping Willow begin to move, while Aaron only talked about it being fun and impressive. "They won't be impressed at your funeral! Now please, get down from-"

OH NO NO NO NO.

He watched in horror as the Whomping Willow shook Aaron off its branches, and before he had time to react and pull him away, it thudded against the ground right next to the boy's head! Dropping his book, he ran to pull Aaron away from the tree before it decided to have less mercy on the fool, and thanked the heavens that Aaron wasn't much bigger than him, or else he never would've moved him away.

"Are you hurt?" he asked, scanning the boy once they were a good distance from the tree, momentarily forgetting about The Monster Book of Monsters, which had moved to hide in the shadows cast by a nearby tree. Even the book had more good sense and didn't approach the Whomping Willow! "Did you break anything when you fell?" He would nag about it for years, but first he needed to make sure Aaron didn't die on his watch.


Just as the boy was about to get up and start climbing again, the tree had flung him off! As the boy went sailing through the air, he felt something snag on one of the branches but couldn't tell what. Then he had made contact with the ground, hitting it with a hard thud. Thankfully, nothing was broken, and Aaron had managed to hit a soft patch of dirt. There was probably a few cuts and maybe a bruise or two that would reveal itself in due time-

BUT HOLY MERLIN THE TREE HAD ALMOST HIT HIM!!!

Aaron couldn't help but watch in horror as the branch swung right next to the boys head, nearly missing. That's when his comrade, Danny, went and dragged him out of there. The first year was shocked at all the events that had just played out before him. Standing up, eyes and mouth both wide open, Aaron couldn't help but say "...WOW! THAT WAS SO COOL!!!!!" The first year had started to giggle like a little girl after speaking.

That's when a moment of horror struck him. Feeling around frantically after brushing the dirt off himself, Aaron couldn't feel his wand. Oh no. That must have been what got snagged! The Brit thought. "Danny, don't freak out when I say this, but now I have to climb the tree." Aaron then began to explain what had happened while he was falling. "My wand holster got snagged on one of the branches, and it's still in the tree! See!" With his left hand, the firstie had pointed to the wand and holster caught on a branch where the boy had been sitting.
