Maxwell walked toward the whomping willow and took a seat on the ground near enough to the tree to be near it but far enough away to not anger the old psychotic tree. He had never thought about it since he had found out who his father was but he felt connected to his family through this tree because it had been planted for his great-grandfather, or at least that was the story.

Maxwell was waiting under the tree because he was supposed to meet Ariana about if they were all right as friends, Maxwell had more than that to speak with her about but it would have to wait until he at least knew this.
