Whomping Willow .18
October 31st 1971
“Ain’t she a beauty?” Sirius said, looking at the Whomping Willow.
“She is, mate. How did you find it?” James asked. It was silly, feeling like they discovered something on the grounds of Hogwarts. They had been there a few weeks and only NOW found it?
“I was just running away from Filch and saw it. I tried to get closer to it and it slapped me with a branch,” Sirius said.
“Wicked,” James replied.
“See that there?” he said, pointing to a little nut at the tree base, “I wonder what that is.”
James shrugged, “Can’t get close enough.”
