DARKNESS. It seemed rather comforting for Victoria, even though it should probably have scared her. Where was the best place to go for darkness? The forbidden forest, the exact place she was now headed to. Leaving her office behind, she wrapped a black cloak around her dark green robes and made her way to the grounds.

PUSHING open the door of the Entrance Hall, she left behind the warmth of the castle and began to walk down towards the forest, keeping an eye out for any students who were breaking curfew. Thankfully, she didn't ned to stop to tell anyone to get back into the castle and deduct housepoints.

VICTORIA paused where she stood before the trees, pulling her wand from her pocket and muttering a spell, before a bright light formed at the tip of the magical length of wood. She continued to walk into the forest, casting the beam of light over the floor before her, in the hope that she wouldn't trip.

UPON hearing a noise to her right, Victoria quickly extinguished the light in preparation to cast a defensive spell, though she continued to walk. Bad move. Within a few moments, she was falling through the air, having stumbled over something that definetely wasn't a branch.

" I really shouldn't be here..."
A worried voice uttered not far away from Victoria. The other person in the woods was obviously a wizard, there was no denying it. Not only did he have a deep voice, indicating it was a he, but he was quite tall with a masculine build, which was outlined lightly by a dark grey outlining on his black robes, and a faded Ravenclaw badge on his left breast. It didn't take long for him to have his wand out after seeing a dull light in the distance. What exactly is that? Is it a fairy? Or some sort of dark and evil creature, or maybe worse, some dark spell which another witch or wizard had created. He couldn't imagine anyone else being in the woods this time of night.

Still, the moonlight provided a little light, even if it did have to battle with the trees to find it's way down to the floor of the forest.

CRACK

Next thing he knew, he was on the floor with some sort of log over him, making him almost unable to move.
"..Ouch. "
He growled, attempting to grab his wand with his free arm, when almost straight after, something had hit him, and then crashed into the floor. He suddenly didn't care about himself, he wanted to make sure the other person, or creature was okay.
