Yeah, Jez was well aware she wasn't technically allowed in the Forbidden Forest. But she wasn't exactly
in it, was she? Just ... near it. A few metres away from the edge. So she technically wasn't breaking any rules, right? Unless someone wanted to get a tape measure.
She was just minding her own business when a big black dragon-horse-thing came to the edge of the forest. Jez stifled a gasp, stepping back slightly. Good Merlin almighty. A
thestral?! How could she even
see the thing? Jez kept very still, half hoping the creature wouldn't notice her, but also really wanting it to. Like she didn't have many of those life-threatening opportunities in her life.
