"We'll stop here, for a bit," he said. "This clearing is known as the Impenetrable Clearing." The Impenetrable Clearing of Death, actually. It occurred to him that the actual Latin name sounded for the place sounded much fancier. "As the stories go, this part of the Forest was once home to a tribe of warriors. Enemies wiped it out, but the 'curse' of the tribe hangs over the clearing where their councils occurred - no human or creature can enter, and those that attempt to defy the curse and enter, are injured or die mysterious deaths."
"But all of us could enter, and quite easily. What do you think this tells us about this myth?"
Taking off the sunglasses and returning each and every glare that Raccoon Girl sent her, Destiny made it through the space between the trees, even tempting to trip the girl for a good laugh. But, she had remembered what Professor Despereaux had said about no laughing during this 'adventure'. Well, she just added the adventure part to what he said. Made it sound less scary than what they were really doing.
And why was Arya so close!?
It made her feel uncomfortable. Not that she would ever admit that or anything. It felt like she was going to try something. Narrowing her eyes slightly, Destiny moved closer to the Hufflepuff this time. Hehe. Let HER be uncomfortable.
Hearing the Professor speak, she raised her lantern up a little higher to get a good look at where they were. Impenetrable Clearing, say what!?
"Since the curse hangs over the clearing, we should enter over the curse."
It made sense to Destiny and they just test her theory on Arya.
Glare.
