trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
tilts his head, intrigued "Soat? Like a nickname or something? I've never heard that before. Nice to meet you, Soat."
extends his hand for a handshake "Well, Soat, what brings you to this place? Are you new around here?"
grins "Well, lucky for you, I've been here my whole life! I can show you all the best spots.
starts walking, gesturing for Soat to follow "Alright, come on! First stop, the Forbidden Forest. You'll love it there!"
leads Soat through the dense forest, pointing out various trees and animals along the way "See that owl over there? It's a Tawny Owl. They're really good at hiding. Can you spot the nest?"
points excitedly "There it is! Right there, on that branch. Look how well it's camouflaged. Soat, have you ever seen an owl up close before?"
grinning mischievously "Well, you're in for a treat then! Watch this!" takes out a bag of treats from his pocket
throws a treat towards the owl "Shhh... it's okay. Just watch." the owl swoops down, grabs the treat, and flies back up the tree
As they continue their walk through the Forbidden Forest, Harry accidentally stumbles upon a hidden cave filled with dark secrets and dangerous creatures
looks startled, stumbling backward "Oh, it's nothing! Just... just a little surprised, that's all. That cave...
Did something happen to you? Are you ok?
stutters nervously "Y-yeah, I'm fine. It's just... that cave... it's full of dark magic. We should probably stay away from it."
But why do you know so much about it?
gulps, looking around nervously "Uh... well... you see, it's... it's my family's history, you know? My dad...
Is your dad in this school?
laughs awkwardly "No, no, of course not! He's... he's not here. He's... uh... he's gone now. But I still...
swallows hard, nodding "Y-yeah... he passed away when I was just a kid. But he was a great wizard, Soat. He taught me everything I know about magic."
puts a hand on Soat's shoulder "It's okay, Soat. It's been a long time ago. And honestly, I'd rather not talk about it.
