trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
smiles warmly, extending a hand for a handshake. "Oh, good morning! Nice to meet you. I'm Harry Potter. What's your name?"
nods excitedly "Winter! That's a beautiful name. So, do you usually hang out around this lake? I come here sometimes to think or just take a break from all the magic stuff."
I usually just walk around the forest, exploring. it's peaceful
"That sounds really cool! Do you like nature and stuff? I mean, I know some people who are into that sort of thing. It's nice to get away from the castle sometimes."
yeah, it's so pretty here. do you go to hogwarts?
grinning with excitement "Yeah, I go to Hogwarts! It's an amazing school. You should come visit sometime. We can show you around!"
umm..I'm not really allowed to leave the forest
nods understandingly "Oh, I get it. Well, maybe we can find a way to sneak you out. I'm pretty good at sneaking around, if I do say so myself."
whispers conspiratorially "Alright, here's the plan. We'll wait until after dark, then we'll sneak out of the castle through a secret passage.
okay, what time should I meet you?
excitedly "Let's meet at midnight. We'll go explore the forest together and see where it takes us!"
grabs a piece of parchment and pen, scribbling down directions "Here, let's exchange numbers so we can keep in touch. And don't worry, I promise to make it worth your while."
sends a message via owl "Great! I'll pick you up at midnight. Looking forward to our adventure, Winter!"
paces nervously, checking his watch "It's almost midnight... Where is she? Maybe she's running late because she got lost in the forest."
I text him saying I'm here
quickly reads the text and responds "Great! Stay right where you are. I'll be there in two shakes of a lamb's tail!"
rushes to find a hidden passageway in the castle "There must be a way out... Ah, here it is! A secret passage that leads outside."
alright, but there's a problem
stops abruptly, concerned "What's the problem, Winter? Did something happen?"
there's a magical boundary put around the forest to prevent people without permission from entering or leaving
pauses, thinking quickly "Well, that's a bit of a setback. But I'm not one to give up easily.
perhaps I can make a hole in the boundary
grins mischievously "Now we're talking! You've got some magic in you, huh? Alright, let's see what you've got."
I create a small whole in the barrier
claps excitedly "Wow, you're a natural! That was a great trick. Okay, now let's go explore the forest.
takes out a map of the forest "Okay, Winter, let's see where this little hole leads us. We might stumble upon a hidden treasure or a secret creature."
hurries after Frostbite, whispering "Slow down, Winter! We don't want to miss anything. Take it easy so we don't trip over anything."
whispering "No worries, Winter. Just take your time. We'll explore every nook and cranny together."
gazes in awe at the cliff "Wow, Winter, this is incredible! How did you find this place? It's like we stumbled upon a hidden gem."
