Daphne shook her head as we started to traverse into the forest. After holding the branch for Astoria, I followed the sisters. The forest was serene, but a sense of.. apprehension was in the air. For what, I was not sure. Just like Hogwarts, the Dark Forest always had its own essence. Similar to sentience, but not quite. It was aware. It was why students generally didn’t get injured in the woods. Without proper guidance, most students end up being turned around and out of the forest without knowing. It was only dark because of the heavy foliage that limited light.
