Since all details about the competition were undisclosed, Carl did not know how to prepare for it. As the day of the first challenge approached, he got more nervous - many of his friends and Housemates wished him good luck, which he greatly appreciated, but it also made him feel more pressured. He wanted to do a good job, so he got down to practicing spells and revising theoretical facts, hoping it would help in his challenge.

And here he was, for his first IMPS challenge. At the edge of a forest. The Hufflepuff looked around him - the trees surrounding him were so tall that they blocked out the sky and there was barely any sunlight down here. The thick fog covering the area made the atmosphere even more eerie and mysterious.

Well, he'd better go inside... Carl took a deep breath and stepped through the forest.

"Lumos." He said and a light appeared at the end of his wand. He could see better now, though the only things he could see so far were tree trunks and more darkness ahead. He continued, feeling braver than before.
