Minerva hurried to keep up, she did not want to be away from the adults, but wanted to summon the treats before leaving. Having the treats in her robe she made sure they wouldn't fall out once she stopped at the edge of the forest. It looked so big and scary. Bigger then she remembered, but she had never been this close to it nor had she ever even thought about going in. Taking a few deep breaths she looked at the others. She wasn't sure why, but Christmas popped in her head and how nice and comforting Mr. Gibbins was to her, knowing it was her first time staying at the castle instead of being with family. She walked closer to him and put her hand on his arm. "It...it will be okay." That was about all she could get out from nerves and emotions to try and help about Pepper and Millie.

The more time went on the more she started feeling the sense that they would not find Millie, the vision of the plant was just to strong in her head, but Pepper was a mystery. No one saw her leave, no one saw her taken, so there was still hope in Minerva's mind they could find her. Please let us find Pepper, please let us find Pepper. She started pleading in her head. Looking at Mr. Gibbins and Professor Newlin she lifted her wand "Lumos". "I'm ready, which way should we go first?"
