To no one’s surprise, Enrico had woken up feeling energetic. The day might have been dull and grey, but his presence made up for the lack of sun as it hid away behind the puffy clouds. Usually, he’d be twice as cheery when the weather is all sunshine and rainbows, but today was exceptional and for once he was allowed to feel a bit under the weather. When he felt such emotions, however, he struggled to comprehend them. His first action was to abandon any situation that involved socialising, hence why he didn’t join his Hufflepuff friends for lunch in the afternoon, and instead took a detour after class.
At first, he walked at a slow pace with his head tilted down looking at his feet taking to the ground step by step. Once the number of students around him had been reduced to zero, he sprinted ahead until his short legs started to burn in exhaustion. Almost as if someone was pinching him a hundred times all over at once. It was not common for Enrico to feel so tired so quickly after a five-minute run, and that alarmed him a bit. So he gave up and fell on his knees, his uniform getting all dusty and dirty as he hit the ground. He could feel his knees getting hurt when they slammed against the earth. The earth he loved so much had betrayed him too.
He couldn’t put his finger on it, whatever it was that was haunting him and making his day ever so miserable. Was it the lack of sun? Was he that hungry? Was it his incompetence in half of the subjects he was supposedly learning about? Or perhaps he just missed his mother. Yeah, that was probably it. As if he hadn’t already made a mess of his uniform - robes and all - Enrico laid down his entire body on a patch of grass and soil, and he lay there contemplating life, a single tear rolled down his cheek but he pretended that it was just a raindrop that fell from the ugly grey skies. Stupid, stupid clouds. They had no business taking the sun away from him like that.
It took him a second to realise, but he was closer to the forbidden forest than he was to the castle. And at this realisation, Enrico startled and almost choked in fear. He wasn’t sure whether he had seen something he wished he didn’t, or if it was an illusion that his paranoia was casting upon him. But the footsteps behind him did not help…

Who Goes There?
It was a Friday afternoon after lunch before the afternoon classes, March 10th. Another hectic week had nearly passed. It has been a nearly busy week for Rita, the schoolwork, the Quidditch training, some other clubs and activities... In short, there is a lot of stuff for the Second Year Hufflepuff first-string beater to do this week, and she just wanted some time for a stroll in the school grounds to just chill out and reduce her stress. So after a quick lunch when the morning lessons finished, Rita walked slowly from the great hall to the school grounds for a peaceful stroll, and maybe meet a few friends and have a interesting small talk.
When Rita finally arrived at the school grounds, she looked around and found out there was not many students there. Maybe she had eaten more quickly and more students had not finished eating in the great hall at this point. There was only one boy, seeming to be a Hufflepuff she had remembered seeing in class but never knew the boy`s name, who was walking very slowly with his head on the ground, seeming to be in a bad mood. The boy had walked too far, nearly on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Then he stopped, probably realised he had walked too far. Feeling a bit confused by the boy, Rita decided to walk up to him.
"Hi, excuse me, what are you doing and whre are you going, if I may ask? In confusion, Rita opened her mouth to ask.
