Seeing the students coming together in their groups and helping one another always made Hady smile. It was moments like these that allowed her to really see who was capable of working along who and just who had some leadership qualities within them. Watching how some of the students grouped off with those they already knew well and were in the same year with, while a few others opted to go a different route and grouped with students in different years then themselves. It was exactly what she wanted to see.

"How is everyone doing? Has anyone found any unicorn hair yet?" Hady took a moment to stop where she was on the path and turn to look around at the students and where they each were. "If you're having any trouble locating some, don't get frustrated by it. Remember to seek out white, silver or even a glimmer of gold. Now it is much more common to find white hair than silver or gold but it isn't impossible." Hazel eyes not only roamed over the students in turn but also the surrounding around. Trees, bushes and plants alike. Any sound that reached her ears that wasn't someone talking, had her searching it out. One must always be aware of everything.

She’d been so focused on her plan to slip away unnoticed that she hadn’t even grabbed one of the small bags from the professor, something she only noticed as one of the older Slytherin’s (Regulus) forced their way into their group. She eyed him for a for a moment, trying to remember something about him but was no use.

She didn’t exactly have long to think about that however when someone slipped right next to her, linking their arms together. Her head spun around so quickly there was every chance she looked like an owl, such was her surprise. iF IT hadn’t been for the fact she was trying to be nicer to people, she may well have ripped her arm out from Emma’s in record pace. Instead, she simply did her best to slip har arm free of Emma's before forcing her face into an expression that didn’t resemble thunder and replying, “sURE. Why not. The more the merrier!”

Ych. She was one happy adjective away from throwing up in her own mouth or over someone else.

Keeping with the group, she followed the trail into the forest, her wand clutched tightly in her hand as her eyes scanned the darkness. It didn’t take her long to spot some of unicorn hair, glimmering in the wand light in one of the bushes just off of the trail. Not wanting to draw too much attention to herself, she shot Drake a look, hoping that he’d do something to draw some attention away from her just off the trail towards the unicorn hair or at least, that’s what she’d say if they stopped her from walking past it into the darkness. Quickly and without much warning, she took a first small step off the path towards the unicorn hair, stopping only for a moments hesitation before continuing into uncharted territory. It was surprising how quickly the darkness swallowed her, even with her wand still out illuminating the various large roots and detritus. Whilst in reality, she was only a few feet off of the path, truthfully, the darkness made her feel…uncomfortable.
Speaking of being aware. Now someone very clearly hadn't been paying very good attention earlier when she had spoken about the magical barrier that was in place. It had been set up for various reasons and Sloane was proving Hady correct right then in why it needed to be used. Not only was it there to keep the students safe from possible dangerous creatures wandering towards them but it was there to keep the students from wandering off alone. Just like what was being attempted right now.

As Sloane walked several feet away into the darkness she would soon realize that she couldn't go any further at all. The magical barrier not allowing her to do so and should she try, she would simply walk straight into the barrier itself which couldn't be all that much of a pleasant feeling. So it was best to turn back now or deal with that and Professor Paton as well.

When teaching a lesson one always needed to be paying attention to everything. This meant she needed to know where her students were, how they were all fairing with the task at hand AND what else was going on around them. Be that as it may, any odd noises. Like the quiet ones she was here right then in the near distance. Did anyone else hear it? The very faint pitter patter of something walking around close by. Could it be more than one?

"Everyone, come along this way. Quietly now." There was a soft smile on their professors lips as she spoke, gesturing them all to gather back onto the path and continue forward. "I want everyone to keep their eyes and ears open, I most certainly just heard some soft footsteps nearby. Let me know if you see any flashes of white. It was time for a unicorn hunt! Well only in the sense that they were looking for them.

"Should we come across any creatures, unicorns or others please do NOT approach them right away. Always remember to be calm, cautious, move slowly and always make sure that they see you. Be respectful." They all knew the rules, they went over them each and every lesson.



OOC: For those of you still wanting to look for unicorn hair, you're more than welcome to do so as the students continue walking now and start looking for whatever it may have been Hady heard! Was it UNICORN?! XD This is the main activity. Feel free to have them spot other harmless creatures or hear things. They are welcome to spot/hear a unicorn now! Please don't post for the unicorn!
