It was a nice afternoon after the classes, and Forrest decided to discover the grounds for a change. It would be his first time since the train ride although it was the third day since the beginning of the term. He'd been too scared lazy to wander outside, but inside was a little filthy, so... better to enjoy the sun outside.

As he wandered, he came upon a pond and got closer curiously. He smiled to himself in delight. The ducks didn't look very magical, still the scenery made him feel happier for a reason and he started to walk around it to examine the pond at every angle--and that meant he'd examine the warning up close too.

'Due to budget constraints...'

His smile was frozen on his face. He re-read it as if he was expecting it to change magically, but it didn't.

Despite everyone's reassurances, he'd failed to see anything WONDERFUL about this school so far.

Hmpf.
