Eliza didn't really like afternoon classes. By this time of day, she was kind of ready to call it quits. Then again, she didn't exactly like morning classes either. Getting up early, as in before 10 A.M., really wasn't her thing. She was so lost in her thoughts that she'd ended up near the Forbidden Forest and at Care of Magical Creatures class before she knew it. So...why were they close to this forest? Wasn't it...forbidden?

She didn't see the shimmering barrier. She didn't even know to look for it. She just hoped whatever was in that forest decided to stay in the forest. She felt kind of silly saying hello to a panda, but seeing as the kid before her had done it, she kind of felt obligated, too. "Hello, Professor," she said. Was she asleep? Could Eliza just go to sleep, too?
