It was so vicious, and naturally it was a beautiful thing to any daring Gryffindor.
The prefect, having some spare time before his next class, decided that he'd pay the tree a visit. After all these years, he still hadn't found that knot that was allegedly at the base of it. Though that was mostly due to the fact he wasn't willing to go at it alone. That did not prevent him from admiring the tree from a far and scouting out where that little knot could potentially be. He was bound to notice it one of these days and see what it did, right?
But today was not that day. Instead he found a sleeping co-prefect a distance away from the willow.
Rolling his eyes, Frankie walked over to the boy and gave him a nudge with his shoe. "You know, there's a hag running about around here. I bet she've taken one of your kidneys if she caught you sleeping out here. Or worse." Consider your kidneys and yourself saved, Hugo Foster. You're welcome.
The best advice he could give to any first year was to come and take a nap on the grounds. Next to the lake, to the willow....ANYWHERE. It was good for you. He approved it. Hugo was falling into a deep sleep until...UNTIL someone woke him up.
He opened one eye and saw Frankie. "
But if you are here you can protect me and I can keep sleeping" sounded good to him. And now that Frankie mentioned the hag he was glad he haven't seen her. "
Is she still here?"
