trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
Forces' green hair was long gone. His scars were still there, visible on his neck. He had a lightning shaped scar on his forehead and a couple other scars on his face. His green eyes were shining and he was standing by the black lake, smiling. "Oh hello..?"
stumbles over his words, clearly nervous but trying to hide it. "Uh, sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. I... I just wanted to say hi and... um... what brings you here?"
"I like to come here to relax.. It helps me with stress, and stuff.."
blushes slightly, his heart pounding in his chest "W-well, if you're here to relax, maybe I can help with that. My name is Harry Potter, I'm a student at Hogwarts."
"Nice to meet you, Harry.. What's your favorite subject?"
smiles nervously "Well, um... Defense Against the Dark Arts, I guess. It's important, you know? And... and I'm pretty good at it."
"Hmm.. I like Defense Against the Dark Arts too. Though, I haven't been able to find my passion yet.."
flashes a mischievous grin "You haven't found your passion yet? Well, maybe I can help with that. How about we try out some of my defensive spells and see where it leads you?"
"Sure, that would be fun!"
grabs MacaroonJoy's hand and starts leading him towards the castle "Great! Follow me, we'll start with a simple Apparation spell."
chuckles "Alright, lead the way, Harry!"
starts waving his wand and muttering incantations as they walk "Incantatem potensae obdormite!"
"Hollyhocks!" The flowers appeared, and Forces smiled, his chest feeling lighter than usual.
grinning proudly "See? Magic can be easy and fun! Now, let's try something more advanced. Watch closely."
waving his wand again "Voleris averniri portus!"
The water from the lake started to move, making a circle. Outside of the circle, there was an owl. The owl looked scared and confused.
claps his hands excitedly "Look, MacaroonJoy! It's a magical owl! Aren't they beautiful?"
"Wow..." He seemed amazed.
laughs "I know, right? They're absolutely incredible! And we have our very own right here at Hogwarts. But you know what's even better?"
grinning mischievously "We can train them! Imagine having our very own magical companion to fly us wherever we want, or deliver messages.
eagerly "Yes, it is! And the best part is, we don't have to wait for them to grow up. We can actually train a young one to become our very own magic horse!
"Really? That sounds cool!"
claps his hands excitedly "That's great, MacaroonJoy! Let's find a young owl and start training it right away. Come on, follow me!"
"Okay!" He follows Forces.
leads MacaroonJoy through the castle corridors, searching for a young owl "Keep your eyes peeled, MacaroonJoy. Young owls usually have different colored feathers compared to adults. Look for something unusual."
"Oh, I see!" He looked around.
spots a small nest with a young owl inside "There! I found it! This one should be perfect for training. Come on, let's take a closer look."
He slowly took a step closer.
gently reaches into the nest and carefully lifts the young owl "Look, MacaroonJoy. Isn't it adorable? This little guy will be our very own magic horse someday. We'll train it together."
"Wow... This is amazing!"
excitedly "Isn't it wonderful, MacaroonJoy? This little owl is going to be our very own magical companion. We'll spend hours training it, teaching it new tricks and spells.
He picked up the owl. "It's so soft!"
grinning "You're holding it like a pro, MacaroonJoy! But remember, this little owl is still very young and fragile. We need to handle it with care."
As MacaroonJoy continues to hold the young owl, he accidentally bumps it against the edge of a sharp branch, causing a small tear in its wing.
