Rowan POV

~~~DREAM~~~

I was sprinting down the dark hallway. I didn't know what I was running from but I knew it was catching up.

I suddenly tripped over my own foot. I heard footsteps coming up behind me. 

I turned around to see him, the hooded man looming over me.

I started to scream as he pulled out his wand I saw the flash of green overtake my vision.

~~END OF DREAM~

I shot up with tears streaming down my face. I shivered dispite it not being cold. 

I silently climbed out of the bed and changed into my uniform. I crossed the room careful not to wake up my neighbors who were most likely soundly sleeping. 

I grabbed my shoes which were outside the door and slid them on as I walked down the stairs. 

The fire had been extinguished that night and the common room was dark which didn't matter as I knew this school like the back of my hand. 

I crept over to the bulliten board which had the schedules on them. I snatched mine and tip toed my way across the room to the large fire place. I climbed onto the mantle and knocked on the large paining above it. The painting slid over to reveal a dark passage way which I crawled into. 

I emerged in the kitchens where I grabbed an apple and exited into the silent corridor.

I chomped down on the apple as I exited the darkness of the school hallways and was welcomed by the moon and stars, which shone unusually bright as we were very far from any no-maj civilization.

I took a deep breath and slowed my heart that was still racing from the dream I had earlier. 

I tried to distract myself which ended up with me finally taking a look at my new schedule.

RESEARCH OF ENCHANTED SPECIES - Thunderbird & Wampus

BLACK MAGIC DEFENSE - Thunderbird & Pukwudgie

LUNCH

POTIONS - Thunderbird & Horned Serpent

HERBOLOGY - Thunderbird & Pukwudgie

FREETIME

'It's not bad' I thought to myself.

 Sure the Serpents were show offs in potions and the Pukwudgies made any other class seem like dimwits in herbology, but at least I got Research of enchanted species.

I looked up and discovered I had managed to walk into one of the most feared and most mysterious places on the campus, to everyone who is not a Thunderbird, the forest. 

The trees grew so thick and tall they could make a giant seem short. 

I grinned to myself and started running, I leaped into the air and grabbed onto a sturdy looking branch. I started climbing up the tree until I started to see the sun peek through the leaves and make beautiful patterns on the leaf littered floor. 

I sat up on the tree branch for a while until I heard the chatter of students gathering for their class. 

I quickly climbed down from tree and finally jumped off the bottom branch, I exited the forest and blended into the back of the class. 

"Hey squirrel" I heard a familiar voice say.
