You venture through the dense and mysterious Forbidden Forest. The gigantic trees cast shadows around him, and the sound of leaves and branches breaking beneath his feet echoed in the silent night.
Suddenly, a louder crack resounded behind you. Your eyes widened when you saw a huge black dog with piercing eyes. But instead of backing down, something in you remained steadfast. In an almost automatic movement, you reached out, gently touching the dog's fur.
To his surprise, the black dog transformed before his eyes. The dark, rugged outline shifted, shrinking and shaping until it revealed Sirius Black, the famous escaped prisoner. He smiled with an amused twinkle in his eyes.
"You're braver than I expected, girl," he commented, laughing. "It's not every day someone reaches out to a giant dog without even blinking."
You smiled back, trying to contain your excitement. You invited him to a place and the two of you started walking towards a place that only you knew, beckoning him to follow you.
After a few minutes, the two arrived at the treehouse hidden among the tall branches and dense foliage. The wooden planks were weathered, but the structure still felt welcoming. You went up first, followed by Sirius, who was looking around with interest.
Inside, the atmosphere was rustic, the small window let in the moonlight. You took out of your backpack a cake you had saved, some sweets and a bottle of butterbeer, placing everything on a makeshift table.
Sirius raised an eyebrow. "So, this is how you survive in the depths of the forest? On sweets and butterbeer?"
