 For Jess <3 Yeahhh, Mr White! Yeah science!
Another day, another adventure!
Ezra Greenwood was out on the explore again. The first week had gone over in the blink of an eye and he had only seen a tiny fraction of what the castle had to offer. Today he was concentrating on a section of the grounds.
He had read about the tree he was currently gazing at (from a safe distance). He watched the branches of the Whomping Willow with fascination. They were calm at the moment, but he noted that if he took just even a couple of steps forward, the movement became erratic, sweeping in his direction. He stepped back again. All calm. Forward. Violence.
Forward.
Backwards.
Forward.
Backwards.
Forward.
Backwards.
Forward.
Backwards.
This was fun! No way was he going too close though. The Gryffindor in him which the hat had talked of was nowhere to be seen.
He noticed a squirrel making it's way toward the tree and he sat on the mossy ground to watch what both it and the squirrel would do, his mouth open a little in concentration. He picked up a stone ready to throw in the vicinity of the squirrel to scare it away should it look like it might be in any danger. Although the tree would probably warn the wee creature all by itself.. but just to be safe.
No animals would be hurt on his watch.
