Dawn had not yet hit the grounds of Hogwarts, yet the morning dew and crisp air showed every sign that it would not be long before it appeared. Knowing this, a young Ravenclaw quietly made her way out of bed, getting dressed into a pair of jeans and a light, long sleeved shirt. She didn't have much time and the strike of the clock told her this. So, without hesitation or reliable thoughts, Anna grabbed her cloak adorned with the Ravenclaw symbol, and made her way out of the school and onto the grounds.
Pure silence encircled her as she walked to her destination, making it almost seem like the world around her was put on pause. Animals were no where to be seen and even the sound of grasshoppers was non-existent. It almost seemed like it was a warning in a way; that they were trying to tell her that she was being reckless and had not thought out her decision properly. Perhaps if Anna was not as tired or as determined as she was, she would have listened to their silent warning.
Her pace had quickened and soon the place that she had been yearning to go was in sight. The sign was in front of her and even through the darkness she could clearly read it's bold words. The forest was forbidden to all students. She knew this already and was willing to accept the consequences that would come if she was caught in the depths of the forest. Though Anna had no intention of being caught nor did she plan to stay long. She only wanted to see one thing and if she didn't hurry, she was sure to miss it.
Without a second glance at the sign, Anna entered the forest, immediately surrounded with even more darkness. She was almost certain that her light blue eyes were brighter than usual because of the contrast. With a shaky sigh and running a hand through her dark hair, Anna glanced around the area as she continued walking. The trees were bigger than of those that she had seen and even more eerie looking up close.The silence that had once surrounded her was no longer for the sound of nocturnal animals moving was more than clear.
Biting her lower lip lightly, Anna took a seat at the base of a tree, her wand tightly clutched in her hand as she waited. If her timing was right, it wouldn't be long until the sun would rise and the dark world around her would be illuminated by it's rays.
