It was absolutely cold enough to need a sweater, actually, at least according to Abra. The second he got to school every September he started grumbling about how unnecessarily cold it was in this country. There was a kind of irony in the fact that outside the castle was where he was most comfortable, like, emotionally, because reasons, but the least comfortable place physically, because cold. It was especially bad immediately after enjoying an Egyptian summer, and even worse when you considered the fact that it was only going to get colder.

The point was that Abra did have a sweater on when he arrived at class (and actually had briefly considered wearing another, but figured that would only attract unwanted attention if anyone noticed). The fact that they needed to go a little deeper into the forest than usual to reach the lesson didn't really bother him, not as much as one might have expected considering how nervous he usually was. It was true that maybe his anxiety levels were a little higher than they might usually have been for a Care of Magical Creatures lesson, but that was more to do with the fact that it was getting darker and so he couldn't really see his surroundings as well as he'd have liked. But it wasn't enough to prevent him from going to class; they were still outside, in the open air, and there were plenty of escape routes if something really terrifying happened, which it ~~possibly~~ probably wouldn't. The forest was more exciting to Abra than it was scary, at least in the daytime.

"Hi Profess- oh..." Abra's greeting had come as he reached the usual set-up, but as he started to settle himself down on a bale of hay, he noticed the cave, and immediately tensed up. Abandoning his manners, he turned to look properly at Wayland, but kept glancing back to the cave again as he spoke to him. "We're not going in there, are we? That's where the creatures are going to come out of, right?" Please, Merlin, let it be mooncalves, or nocturnal flobberworms, or anything that meant they could stay put.
