Minerva watched her fire. Now what was the next step, she checked her notes. Oh waiting for the Ashwinder to appear and leave the fire. Min stood and waited, and waited, and waited. Looking around she saw that some of the other students Ashwinder's were already leaving the fires. Looking back at her own fire there was still nothing. What if a Ashwinder didn't come out, what if it didn't appear.

Getting nervous she paced around her fire. Did she forget to do something, checking her notes again she figured she did everything she was suppose to and she just had to wait.

Getting impatient Minerva was just about to turn to the professor to say that her fire was defiantly faulty and that she needed a new one when she saw something in the fire. Looking closer she smiled the Ashwinder finally appeared and headed out of the fire. Quickly following it she watched it go to the edge of the woods. Her heart raced when she thought it might go in. Was she suppose to follow it in? She hadn't been in that forest since fourth term and wasn't wanting to go back.

Lucky the creature dropped right at the edge of the forest. Now it was time to watch it.. She was not looking forward to watching die, but if that's what they had to do.
