Alec stopped and blinked up at the tree standing a couple of feet away. It wasn't the first time he was seeing this weird tree but it was one of those sudden out-of-the-blue moments. And this tree still managed to amaze him.
The young boy, sat down on a patch of grass and took out his bag of gummy bears. He could probably sit here and just watch the tree now. Yeah, that didn't sound like such a bad idea.
Avery wandered around aimlessly, walking through long forgotten parts of Hogwarts grounds and into a patch of dense trees. She remember these from her first weeks at Hogwarts, when she'd gone exploring. She suddenly thought of the past few years, stuck in a hospital, unable to move out of the bed, never mind explore.
She cast these thoughts away and kept walking, through more densely packed trees, around bushed, until she came to a tree that she recognised. The Whomping Willow. She slowed to a halt, and looked around talking it all in, the way its branches move in sync forming graceful movements, that to some would seem deadly.
Then she noticed him, a little first year by the looks of him and she immediately forgot all of her shyness and boldly walked up to him as if he were an old friend and sat down next to him.
