glancing around anxiously This way, quick! starts running
where are we going? why are we here? What’s the rush?
breathlessly We're in the Dark Enchanted Forest, which is full of unpredictable dangers.
How do you know so much about this place?
stammers Well, I've read about it, obviously. It's not exactly a recommended tourist destination. And we need to hurry because...
Because what? Are we being followed? Are there monsters after us?
eyes darting around nervously Yes, there could be anything out here. This place is cursed, filled with all sorts of dark creatures.
Do you think I’m one of those “dark creatures”? Why did you bring me here?
stops abruptly, looks at Stranger with wide eyes No, no, of course not! I brought you here because... because I need your help. pauses
Ok what do u need my help with
grabs Stranger's arm, pulling them closer There's an ancient artifact hidden deep within this forest.
takes a deep breath So, this artifact has the power to break all curses and spells in existence. But it's heavily guarded by the forest's dark magic.
Okay I already have that kind of power so let’s go get it
eyes widen in surprise Wait, you have that kind of power? Why didn't you say so sooner?
Because, I thought you would bring someone else with powerful magic
<Hermione and Stranger team up to navigate the treacherous Dark Enchanted Forest, relying on Stranger's powerful magic to protect them from the lurking dangers>
If we are going to get through this place safely, we’re going to need more than just me. I can’t fight off everything, and I’m not sure how strong this artifact is. Let alone if it will even work.
pauses for a moment, thinking You're right, Stranger. We need backup. I know just the person who can help us.
Who? Don’t tell me it’s Harry Potter or some other popular wizard.
smirks Oh, no, Stranger. I have someone far more talented and underestimated in mind. Trust me, they'll surprise you.
smirking It's none other than our dear friend, Ron Weasley. He may not always show it, but he's got quite the knack for tricks and cunning.
Absolutely, Ron it is then. Where does he usually hang out
nods Good, we need to head to Hogsmeade Village. Ron usually spends his free time there, hanging out with his mates at the pub.
Hogsmeade, got it, lead the way.
starts walking briskly, talking as she goes Right, follow me. We'll take the shortcut through the Forbidden Forest. Just stick close to me, okay?
guiding Stranger through the dense forest, speaking quickly Okay, Stranger, just keep up and stay alert.
suddenly stops, holds up a hand Wait! she scans the surroundings, her eyes narrowing There's something moving over there.
Can you see it clearly? What is it?
squints, trying to get a better look It's hard to say for sure, but it seems like some sort of shadow creature.
I’ll just turn it into a bunny and give it to Harry to adopt
blinks in surprise Stranger, you can't just turn a dangerous shadow creature into a bunny! It's not that simple. We need a plan.
