Forbidden Forest

@choi youngjae Daehyun blinked tiredly as he started to make his way back up to the castle. He'd been overseeing Quidditch tryouts for a whole day, what with all of the new Hufflepuff kids who were interested in playing the sport. He loved that so many students wanted to play, of course, but it would make him sad to turn any of them down. He was halfway to the castle when out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a dim purple light shining out from beside the forest. He moved closer, curious, but his smile was replaced by a look of concern as he noticed the source- it was a young first-year Hufflepuff, whose name he didn't know yet. He hurried down to the edge of the forest, his hand curled loosely around his wand. "Hey, there,"
He offered in a friendly tone. "You're lost, aren't you?"

Taehyun was just settling in at Hogwarts, his parents wanted him to have the perfect average of his class, so he can compare to them. This all seemed nice in his mind but, in practice it wouldnt happen. He went down to the forest after Potions. As he walked he took out his stark purple wand and he let out a soft sigh as he heard creatures in the forest. "So this is the Forbidden Forest. There's nothing forbidden about it. Lumos~" His wand lit up with a light purple shinning light.

@song dahye Knowing that the emancipation of any further disputes or rancor stood out to be the most discernible, I was allured to voluntarily renounce back towards the sensibility of my inhibitions. In the midst of the fervent encounter, my sleeves undid their tentative integral folds, one sleeve grandiosely migrating downwards to give out in slack before I quickly hiked up the material over the fold made just above the joint in my elbow, affixing towards a bedraggled mess. Collectively, my raiment's appearance showed no inflection for rips or tears. I hitched out a sigh. But lo and behold, the dragon in front of me had an utmost commandeering presence, even in its sultry state. The vertical inclination of vision I had to achieve with the dragon alone was a sight for impending anecdotes to tell but again, spurred on some sort of benevolence. My glance juggled along the progressive tiers of your form whose facade was liberated by a simper bearing great radiance, a gesture that, oddly enough, graciously resonated with my countenance dearly. The expression induced in the love of magical creatures alluded me to glance for more than I could muster, but briefly diluted my vision back towards the scene in front of me. I didn't see any reason as to why the intrigue couldn't border along the lines of a mutual prospect for the both of us, "Felix. I like that. Very whimsical for a beast this size anyway..." My voice spoke with modest cadence, which in turn hallowed out my lungs before I could catch the wind of another succession of syllables. However, my intentions to continue on grew moot as your actions dictated the curiosity embedded in the situation once more. I remained idle as you bounded yourself forwards and had sunken yourself into the caress of the breed, bemusement following as the dragon deliberately sanctioned off an allotted spot designated for you amongst the prominent extremities and flesh on his own accord. My eyes wavered extensively around the caliber of this forthcoming escapade. An exploit my feet were abiding to. But I digress - I still complied.

"If it's what he wants, then I'll offer..." With wary footsteps, I kneeled downwards, until I could finally let the weight reliant on my knees deviate me back-first into the embracing warmth, all done without catching a wisp of air in breath. I let the flat of my back compress into Felix's underbelly. To my elation, the flesh clambered out profoundly as an intrinsic motion, eliciting as a palliative, lissome massaging sensation, "Oh wow, this...is something new." From here, my stature could only relax into the envelopment, letting my neck catch the inertia of the upper underbelly as I let it rest upon such, the stabilization overall almost too impeccable. In spite of my shoulders giving into a minuscule concave contouring, the pros outweighed the cons. My shoulder meagerly clipping along yours briefly in the confined space as the heat resonance of Felix seamlessly bled through the fabric of my dress shirt. I turned my head, the glimpse of a modestly blue-grey sky enclosed by the circumference of treetops diced in the autumn spectrum. The overseeing eye of Felix sharing a glance with the both of us, an iris noticeably laced in vigor yet a small tinge of a candid complexion apparent as well. My line of sight saw past the treetops and channeled towards the sky above, "Dahye...Felix wasn't in the wrong to stumble upon my proximity. This is...another form of magic I haven't been acquainted with yet. Yet keeping him captive for so long, I have to say, isn't a gesture I would have expected from a Ravenclaw. But, I see your passion in animals seeping through." Another blissfully locking exhale of mine reveling away in the breeze, "Please know that Felix can mosey on down here anytime. And Dahye, do visit often as well - now you know where to find me. Your secret won't leave the vicinity." The corners of my lips tugged upwards to outline a simper of content before stealing a glance at my shack that crept into view, "Hopefully my elixir will pan out just as good anyway."

@shin hoseok Cautiously my circumspect trudges onwards relinquished further my inclinations of impending anxiety. Deep, wistful, throbbing waves circled around the very pit of my physical being, hinting towards a peak of inept excitement and possible despair over the actions of yours that soon follow suit. Deep-set brown orbs surveyed each prominently intricate detail you placed upon the spectrum of things to dutifully follow. At this point, I was never sure who was more nervous; you or I. A lingering silence stirred between us three, enough silence to warrant a halt from my slowly approaching heels----in favor of peering over and monitoring closely. I watched with a silent eye as the dragon craned and draped its neck away from his body like a bright crimson bow unraveling itself. The golden flecks and bronzy hues of his irises shown most prominently when his muzzle milled over the Jade you bequeathed unto it. When the entire ordeal was over, I was overcome with a granted fervor of success, for this was certainly an experiment of my own, one that proved successful and quite favorable in retrospect.

The whimsical beast clambered to his own mindless droning, musing over his newfound toy as I found my way back towards you. By heaving a sigh of complacency, I wanted to push the fact that I was grateful for not only my advancements and Felix's, but for yours as well. "No, he won't burn down you or your little shack." I chortled back in response, lithesome digits springing forth to loosen the now prominent constraints of my dress shirt quietly as I managed to keep up my muffled laughter. At this point, my gaze never truly left the sight of my magnificent beast. He was my child, my everything, and seeing him live up to and beyond expectations welled a flurry of proud inklings from within, something akin to family, even motherhood. The corners of my lips curled up impressively as i finally tore my gaze away from him, in favor of latching it onto your figure. Perfectly disheveled, in an almost pristine way----a way that permitted the occasional dirt splotch and snagged twig to be oddly fitting to the entirety that was your peculiar self. I admired the look, to say the least. Yet, before I could be mistaken for staring for too long, I also pried my eyes away from you with a warm, kind smile of invitation that my metaphorical hands grappled for. "Well, don't be shy now. He considers you a friend, and he doesn't have many so we shouldn't disallow him what he can absolutely have." This time, my chuckles were lower-toned and hearty, signaling my salutary means of thanks. "His name is Felix by the way. He's fond of stones, jewels, anything shiny, and warmth. And most of all....." Purposefully, I let my words drift and permeate into the air until they dissipated, meanwhile my lanky limbs pulling me closer to his larger frame-----of which was now firmly stationed in a patch of greenery. He was settled on his side, laying down with the lower extremities relaxed and presumably waiting for my next command. I took this opportunity to settle myself within his limbs, in between his forelimbs and his back, my own back resting against his exposed underbelly while I somehow managed to keep my eye contact with you. Warranting that I was about to finish my sentence, I cleared my throat before proceeding. "Most of all, he loves company...." Amicably, my tone lowered and raised to adjust to my friendly invitation, my palm patting the damp earth beneath it to further entice you forth, literally into a dragons nest. Part of me wanted to gauge how daring you were, another perhaps how much you trusted me.

@song dahye The solemnly strewn out set of instructions wavered over my subconscious vividly, the notion itself leaving little room for adversity or a careless facade. The fortitude of the breed before me only spoke in a vernacular of deliberate intentions. Regardless, I am able to abide to such. Watching your person subsequently veer away from my field of vision, yet your inquiry of consent emitting from my six, the only means of a deterring proximity was hindered by the one, lonesome concealing charm. Whilst one hitch of the breath caught against the multitude of cross breezes wallowing away in the atmosphere, another breath was had to evidently loosen my chest to depress the distance expanding my enveloped heart and the jewel I kept compacted against the encircling flesh of my palm. Peace was sought out for in advance, and I was wholeheartedly ready. With a nudge of the rotation sanctioning my head, I nodded, "Ready." My voice tapered off into a precarious consistency.

The charm was raised and albeit as enticing of a sight this would've been, I kept any and all peripherals keen on the proceeds of my provisional footing. In the spite of being devoid of a glance, the uncompromisingly-strung presence residing in the dragon's vicinity greatly intimidated my own. The ubiquitous shadow of the 15 foot beast overlooked my stature with omnipotence. With my offering in hand, I kept true, in the succession of the heel-to-toe alternation. My head down, taking a gander as the solidity of the grass below me crippling seamlessly under the pressure of my sole. Hopefully, it doesn't bare a resemblance to any forthcoming adversity. With the proximity decimating between me and the dragon, it tested the concentration of my will at its core, but fortunately enough, I internally relayed along the set of instructions that became crucial at hand in a mantra-esque manner. I eyeballed the threshold of space needed for further advancement--15 feet of a part. Or does this look like 14.9...? Regardless, the anxiety enveloping in tandem with the nearness of the breed of dragon was already chipping away my sense of will. Still, in any case of my innate endeavors, the dragon hadn't showcased any remnants of impending provocation. I proceeded. My rightmost, dominant leg was bounded forward in a fashion keen on the absence of abrupt behavior, and soon I took it upon myself to evenly distribute the weight of my body towards a more resolute contour in a deep bow, both head and torso following suit. And with that, came the imperative piece of the puzzle, the offering in the flesh. I unraveled the jade from the confines of my palm. The creature too immaculate in size to survey with one yielding glance, and a distance so overwhelmingly maniacal that the shell of my ears could pick up the sound of scale grazing ominously against scale as the neck of the creature protruded towards me more grandly than the rest of it. The results would now be dependent on inevitability. Soon, the rest of the body followed in immediate continuity, the heat radiating off of the head of the dragon tingling any sort of hair that wasn't already up. Head down, I watched as the chest of the beast contorted, soon releasing a haughty smoke from both nostrils. My eyes flickering, mused at the favorable hue of white puffing outwards. A nudge forward of its neck signaled the beast to receive the offering amorously as the jade was snatched away from my palm. The dragon rendezvoused back towards the patch of grass it resided in before in competence. I brought the hand previously diluted in fear and anxiety upwards to nest in the head of my hair. "I thought I was a goner for a second there. Your friend here is something else." I latched my paralleled gazed back onto your point of interest, the episode of adrenaline settling in, "So, this means that your friend won't be allured to burn down my shack? Let alone me?"

@shin hoseok While scrambling to gather the proceedings to woo my dragon in due time, my mind mindlessly wandered and flipped languorously through the copious dissimilar ways this could possible pan out. By no means did I want my beast to behave antithetic towards you, so I was taking all precautions I felt I needed, however I say that liberally----for I have never really.....introduced, a new face to Felix since he's been within my captivity. Your voice breaks me away from my subconscious, my eyes peeling off the soot-floured ground so I could properly raise my gaze to latch onto yours with a curt nod. "That should enrapture him.....certainly." I had no idea at this point if you could sense the inherent anxiety-ridden excitement that bellowed within my lungs, almost to the point of it being a speech impediment as I rambled off incessant blabberings to you----willing myself to prepare you thoroughly. Although at this rate, it'd be a miracle for you to follow my high-strung, fast-paced words-----for hardly a breath was spoken between them. "Now this part in the introduction is crucial. When we set foot out into his area, you are now a visitor in his home. I'm going to step off to the side so he doesn't mistake you as my attacker, do you understand?" I take a firm hold of the conversation, the formalities a bit blasé now as my eyes signal the imperativeness of the approaching information. "You're going to approach him very slowly, head down and heel to toe. If you go toe first he might mistake you for sneaking, and we......we cannot have that---" I cleared my throat before heaving another breath and continuing, "Then you're going to halt about fifteen feet away. You're going to put out your dominant leg and bow to him deeply. Head down---of course. Then, slowly uncurl your hand from your heart, revealing the jewel you are attempting to present to him. It's imperative you keep it within your palms, for if you drop it, he will see it as a sign of disrespect. Then----without lifting your head, you look just with your eyes-----if he starts to zone into the stone and approach you hesitantly, you watch for the smoke billowing from his nostrils. If it's white you're good, gray however......." My voice lulled and drifted off, not wanted to veer off onto the negative dynamics or outcomes. "Anyways----if he likes your offering he will take it by the mouth, so do not be skittish when he does so----and he will tuck it delicately within the fold of his underbelly. By this time you are free to move around him carefully. By this time, you have earned the first seedling of trust." I smile vibrantly wide, imagining the very scenario in my head before I nod towards the outline of the concealment spell, my voice low but optimistically hopeful as I start to step away from you.

"Ready?" With my wand raise I signal to you that when you give me the okay, I will pluck away the charm so that the advancement may commence.
