What an ugly looking tree. Aiden was no Hogwarts expert but he could only imagine the chills a tree like this could give any student who ventured onto the grounds at night. It reminded him of something straight out of one of those movies he and his siblings used to watch. The only thing missing was the flash of lightning, a bit of rain and the howl of a wolf in the background. Good stuff.
Aiden approached the tree, hands resting loosely in his pockets as he went.
Despite his calm demeanor, he was certain to keep his eyes open and his senses sharp. The forest had had dementors so he expected nothing less from this second challenge. Actually, he was expecting vampires or werewolves. At the bare minimum, he expected to have his life put on the line, presumably for some object that was not actually real.
Time to see what the Professors had in store for them this time. He was anxious and a little excited if he was being honest with himself.
