trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
walks into the black lake area and sees Harry hello potter! what are you doing here!?
smiles warmly, trying to ease any tension "Oh, hey Blackhous! Just taking a walk, you know. Needed some fresh air."
fresh air? in the black lake?
laughs nervously "Well, yeah, I guess it's a bit unexpected, isn't it? But there's something about this place that's... calming.
looks around at the black lake calming? do you come here often potter?
scratches the back of his head, stuttering slightly "Uh, well, not really. This is my first time here, actually. But I'm glad I came.
flustered, stammers "N-No, no, I'm not scared! Just... just curious, you know? It's just that...
walks closer to Harry what?
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself "It's just that... there's something... mysterious about this place.
nervously looks around, making sure no one is listening "Yeah, I mean, have you ever felt like you're being watched? Or that there's something... lurking just beneath the surface?"
looks out at the black lake I have felt that way before.
furrows his brows, his voice filled with curiosity "Really? That's weird. Have you any idea what it could be?"
no, I don’t but it feels like there’s a monster under the water.
leans in closer, lowering his voice "A monster? Under the water? That sounds... intense. Have you seen anything unusual while you've been here?"
no, just that feeling I get when I walk near these lakes.
Later that night, Harry and Blackhous discover a hidden cave behind the black lake, revealing a monstrous creature lurking within.
what’s the matter potter?
stutters, visibly shaken "Uh, nothing... nothing, really. Just... just saw something... something weird. Like, really weird."
chuckles I knew it! there is a monster in the water!
swallows hard, trying to steady his breathing "Yeah, uh, it looks like... like it's real. The creature, I mean. It's... it's huge, with these...
chuckles we should try to find out more about this creature.
nods, determined "Yeah, we should. We can't just leave it here, lurking in the shadows. We need to find out what it wants, how it got here...
takes a deep breath, determination shining in his eyes "Alright, let's do this. We'll catch that creature and uncover its secrets. We won't let it terrorize our town anymore."
grabs a stick and starts searching the perimeter "Alright, let's start by looking for any signs of the creature. Footprints, maybe, or scratches on the trees."
starts looking around the black lake
spots a broken branch nearby "Wait, what's this? A broken branch? It doesn't look natural. Let's check it out!"
goes over to the broken branch maybe this creature isn’t that hard to find after all…
excitedly "Great find, Blackhous! This could be our first clue. Let's follow these tracks and see where they lead us."
points towards the tracks "Look at this, Blackhous! The creature's footprints are huge! And they're heading towards the forest.
chuckles seems like this creature has a taste for the forest.
quickly follows the tracks into the dense forest, his eyes wide with excitement "This is amazing! We're finally getting closer to this thing!"
follows close behind Potter
starts to feel uneasy as the forest grows darker and more ominous around them "Blackhous, I can't shake this feeling... like we're being watched. And these shadows... they seem to be moving, breathing. Like they're waiting for us."
looking around yeah, I know. I’ve never been this deep into the forest before.
pauses, taking a deep breath "We need to be careful. We don't know what we're dealing with yet, and it's better to be safe than sorry. Let's stay together and keep an eye out for anything unusual."
