They had already been wandering around for between half an hour and forty-five minutes through the muddy, swampy woods, and so far they had seen neither hide nor hair of anything strange or unusual - just the normal every day critters that hung around in swamps at night. Gael had made sure to charm himself to keep from getting too muddy on top of dressing appropriately for the excursion. It had been mostly slow going with little in the way of conversation, which was understandable as they were supposed to be focusing on trying to find any more creatures like the one who'd attacked his brother.

He tried, however, to keep the personal aspect out of the hunt. After all, the one who had actually attacked his brother was already in the custody of the school. This was in order to prevent future attacks on other students or owls. And who knew if the creatures would move onto other pets, or even outside the school grounds and attack muggles. They had to be on their toes.

Thinking he heard something, though it could just be Sim behind him accidentally stepping in something that snapped, Gael turned to his left, raising his torch above his head. "Hey, did you hear something?"
