So they were here to track down the source of the sparks. Both men didn't seem to have an idea about what the cause might be. Or if they did they didn't show it.

Falling into steps behind them, Cassia drew out her wand and contemplated lighting it up. She then decided against it, it might bring too much unnecessary attention. And it was possible to see now that two of them had cast Lumos. She just needed to watch out where she stepped. Tripping and falling would only slow them down and they didn't need that.

So on she walked with the others and nearly jumped out of her skin when something appeared in front of them and started talking. GULP.

Squinting ahead, the snake noticed that there was only one. That until she heard the second one speak. Needless to say that neither of them sounded friendly. And did they say other woman. What other woman? She wondered if a professor had beat them to the forest to question the sparks but surely they'd have seen her. Strange speaking woman, though.

Instinctively, she tightened her grip on her wand and pointed it at one of the spiders. Juuust in case. She remained silent though, better let the adults do the talking.
