Herlena woke up the next morning and couldn't stop thinking about what Aureto said. What could that problem possible be and what did he mean? She dressed herself up and went to the Great Hall. When she walked in she saw her friends sitting at the table and joined them.

"Hi Herlena, did you sleep well?" Alora said.
"Actually I didn't, I think something is wrong with Aureto but he doesn't want to tell me what" Herlena said.

"Let him be" Merlina said. "Like I said, he is not worth the effort."

"Well, how do you know he's got a problem?" Vincere asked.

"He told me. Well... didn't really tell me the problem, but he told me he got one! And he even cried on my shoulder because of it!"
"So all he is doing, is fooling you again. Just like he did a couple of days ago." Merlina said.
"Oh come on Merlina, don't do this to her." Alora said.
"No Alora! Don't interfere! Herlena trust me you will be disappointed if you keep on going like this! He will keep doing this over and over again until you go mad!"
"Merlina, really, thank you. But I believe that he can change."
"Then I think you are the only one, Herlena."
"Might be, but I have seen a sensitive side of him now. Maybe he just has a difficult life we don't know of!"
"Might be, or he is just tricking you into another prank of theirs."
"I will find out what this thing is, and you will be amazed Merlina."
"Alright. I warned you and that is all I'm going to do. No hard feelings, right?"
"Of course not!" Herlena said as she hugged Merlina.

"So what is there to do in the weekends?"
"Well you can make a beautiful walk around the giant school grounds, stay here and watch the duelling club, play some magical games or make your homework." Alora said.
"Which is what you are doing, aren't you?"
"Of course!"
"Typical Ravenclaw." Merlina said smiling at Alora.
"Well I think I'm going to make a walk around the grounds then. Anyone joining me?"
"Me and Vincere wanted to play wizard chess. And, well, you see Alora is studying as usual. Why don't you go, and we will come later!" Merlina said smiling at Herlena.
"Alright see you all later!"

Herlena walked outside on the grounds, and neared Hagrid's little hut. He was outside feeding some weird little animals.
"Hello!" Herlena started "Hagrid was it, right?"
"Right ye are!" He said "How can I help ye?"
"Oh I'm just walking around since it is a beautiful day!" She looked into a cage, with three little furry animals in there "Oh Hagrid! What are those cute little balls of fur!"
"Oh those? Those are Puffskeins! I found 'em in the forest yesterday, and don't know how they got there. I am takin' care of 'em now until we know what to do with 'em."
"Ahw, they are so cute!"
"They sure are! Loved pet for a lot of wizards! We might sell them to some wizards, so if you would like one just tell me!"
"Alright I will! Let me know if you will sell them or not. Thank you Hagrid!"
"Yer welcome!"

Herlena walked on down the hill, until she reached the edge of the Forbidden Forest. As McGonagall said, it is dangerous. Alora acknowledged this by saying there are a lot of dangerous animals in here. She didn't dare to go in, as she would most likely make her house lose house points, or worse... Get expelled and have to go back to her normal school. She decided to just sit down on the grass, with the sun above her and looked into the forest. She was looking if she could spot any animals, but thinking about it she knew it was pointless.

"All alone again huh?" A voice said. She turned around to see two of the three Gryffindor boys on top of the hill looking down at her.
"Hi there." She said hesitatingly.
"Hey we learned a new spell, wanna see?" The other Gryffindor guy said. "Flipendo!"
Before she could even answer, they started waving their wands, hurling blue burst of light at her which could mean anything! She was trapped! Her only way was into the forest, and she didn't know what to do! She kept dodging the spells, until she decided to run her only way out.

The guys kept shooting their spells at here while running after her. She ran faster than she ever did. At one point she didn't hear any spells land behind her, but as she wanted to turn around, she fell to the ground by falling over some roots of the giant tree next to her. She looked up and noticed she was not where she was supposed to be. She was deep, deep in the forest. Not knowing the way, she started to panic. Darkness surrounded her, with sometimes a little bit of sunlight coming through the trees. There was an eerie mood around the forest, as fog laid down on the ground. She was surrounded by what looked like dark trees, their roots and the weird sounds that surrounded her presence.

"H-Hello?.. Anybody here?" She asked, scared as can be, but there was no response what so ever. She looked around and did not see anything familiar. She tries to make her way back, by going the way she think she went. She kept going but saw now change. The forest stayed dark and looked like it didn't change at all. That was, until the point she thought she heard voices. Remembering what Alora said, she ducked down, drew her wand and proceeded with caution. The voices got stronger and Herlena got more scared by the second. As the voices were now understandable, she hid in one of the bushes and listened carefully.

"I'm telling you! This plan is going to work! Next year, it's going to be us at the top! And those wizards will be nothing but food after we are done with them!" One of the voices said.
Food? These voices weren't human! She read of multiple beasts that could speak the human language, but couldn't tell what kind of voice this was.
"We just got to wrap them all up, and take them with us to Mosag! She will decide what to do with them, not you. So stop making decisions that are not yours."
"Yeah yeah, we just need to make a plan that can be worked out to kill them all."

Kill them all?! Are they crazy! Herlena, as scared as she was, couldn't let this be unspoken and let their evil plan be done like this. What did that Gryffindor kid say...

"I can't let you two do-" But she couldn't speak no more. She got up and tried to look the voice right into the eye, but was greeted by eight of them. And as the other one turned around, there were now a total of sixteen eyes looking her straight in her own two eyes.
"Well well well, look what we have here! Is this our appetizer?"
"I-I.... I am.."
"You! Are our lunch, indeed. Let's take her to Mosag!"

"Flipendo!" Herlena shouted as she pointed her wand at one of the first acromantulas. It flew right hard against a tree, making it unconscious.
"How dare you!" The other acromantulas said. It jumped and tried to grab Herlena, but she dodged it.
"Flipendo!" She said, as she casts the spell on the other acromantulas now. His fate was the same, as he flew against a tree and became unconscious.
"Well then, good show! Now we will take care of you." Another voice said behind her. She turned around and stood there shocked. A small troop of at least twenty acromantulas were standing behind her.
"I was just... I didn't mean to... I... Hi."
"Hello there, now come with us nice and easy or this is going to be unpleasant."
She looked at all the acromantulas, and decided it was best to... RUN!

She turned around and ran away from the small troop of acromantulas, who naturally charged right after her. Despite the fact of having 8 legs, they barely kept up with her. She looked over her shoulder to see if they were still following, forgetting about the way right in front of her. She ran into a huge cobweb to which she was now stuck. The acromantulas walked towards her slowly and laughed at her. She turned red of shame "Let me go!"
"Oh we are going to get you to our most precious leader! Mosag!"
Four acromantulas untied the corners that were holding the cobweb, and wrapped Herlena in tight. She was now wrapped in a ball of cobwebs and was dragged to what looked like a cave. They went in and she saw more acromantulas than she wished for. Over two hundred of them at least! They all gathered around in a big circle around Herlena, who was sitting right in the centre of the cave. There was a big hole in the wall before her.

"Who is this human?" A loud voice said.
"Say your name!" One of the acromantulas said to her.
"M-My name is Herlena!"
"And why are you here in our forest Herlena?"
"I was driven here by some guys who were firing spells at me."
"Why didn't you fight them?"
"Because I didn't dare to, I am only a first year."
"Ah, fresh meat! Great! My children will feed very well on you, Herlena."
"Please don't! I did nothing wrong!"
"You cast a spell at two of my children! You dare to come in our forest, thinking you are the one to make the rules around here! You wizards need to understand that this is our territory! You all keep coming out here and make our area even smaller! And as our weaker beasts around the edges can't keep you all at bay, we shall have to take matters into our own hands! But for now, I want to meet the little feast that my children have prepared for the young ones!"

With that said, two giant,hairy black legs stuck out of the hole in the cave. With a big roar, a headcame above the hole. The little acromantulas put Herlena up on the ceiling ofthe cave, making her hand in her cobweb trap. As she finally hangs, the giantbody of the voice she heard was slowly rising out of the hole. And within aminute, the body, that for Herlena was only a voice, now had a body which wasnot to be unseen.
"I. Am. Mosag!"
