"The Forbidden Forest is okay, at first glance," Gold said, thoughtfully. "I mean, we've had a few classes there. We learned a heap of stuff about three-headed serpents and Thestrals and even played broom sports, there. But if you go in deeper, things are just creepy. There's a reason students aren't allowed to go in there - most mischief-makers think it's a silly rule, but they can't actually comprehend, how risky it can be, in there. I don't think I ever want to be in there, alone. Nor would I let anyone else go in, in front of me."
Not to mention, she was a Prefect, and Gold had always been serious about her duties. Not that she was a boring person, or anything.
But responsibility is... a big responsibility!
Aiden smiled at her description of girls. How on-target she was! Hah. She
was a girl, though. "
This is true," he added. "
Although, I believe 'dramatic' is an understatement." He winked.
His eyesight shifted to the direction of the Forbidden Forest. He remember when he first saw the forest the other day, and it didn't even look too ominous. Yet, he was aware - just from horror stories and now from Gold herself - that the place was by no means any playground. "
Well, you don't have to worry about me going in there," he said, looking back to Gold. "
I'd prefer not to get expelled - or killed - the year before I graduate."
By this point, although Aiden didn't know the prefect too well just yet, he had come to the conclusion that he liked her. Despite obviously being brave - she was a Gryffindor - she could still admit her fears, and she seemed genuine when she stated that she wouldn't allow anyone else to go in there alone either. He guessed he just admired it when people were actually
noble.
"
So," he decided to change topics once again. "
What's new in your life? Other than starting classes up again."
