"Near the forbidden forest, Farah," the Friar replied to the seventh year's question with a smile. Because yes, the forest was indeed still forbidden as per the Headmaster's speech. "Mary's definitely on to something with Care of Magical Creatures, though." Very warm indeed. "Maybe we should head outside and go see who we find there?"

...and was it chilly out? Honestly, the Friar had no idea. It looked bright enough, but of course he couldn't feel the warmth of the sun these days. He wanted the students to be comfortable though, so he nodded. "Of course. But be back quick, badgers! There's adventures to be had."

When those who had gone to fetch extra layers had returned, he gave the nod to proceed. "Lead the way then, Mary! Where in the Care of Magical Creatures area do think we should try first?"


ooc: let's move proceedings to CoMC and see who or what we find!
