"Bloody hell, why won't you just run 'round the other direction like I said, Gid, we'd have this stupid animal back to where it belongs." Fabian hissed as he ran through the forest, trying to avoid the tree roots and low lying branches as he chased after the elusive goat.
His brother ran alongside him, "Because. We. Are. Wizards. And we can use our wands to stop it." He sped past and waved his wand at the fleeing goat.
"Well it appears that there must have been a scheduled brotherly tour through the Forbidden Forest this evening, gentlemen." The amused voice of none other than their Headmaster pierced through the darkness.
"Er...Professor, not to be disrespectful-"
"But you will be, anyway, Fabian, don't worry, I find it highly flattering when you third year students speak to me like we're equals. Makes me less of the grumpy Headmaster that we are so often stereotypically perceived."
"But...you're walking by yourself." Gideon finished.
Albus chuckled. "Aberforth is tending to his goat that you managed to steal, prance through the dungeons and the Slytherin locker rooms. Belinda only comes around when she's called. It would have probably been good to know that her name was Belinda."
Gideon and Fabian looked at each other, and while they couldn't exactly determine the other's face, they knew that an equal look of confusion was on the other's face. "Er, about that whole 'prancing through the dungeon' bit...we'll do the lines."
"Cane the lot of them, Albus." The gruff voice of who the boys assumed was Aberforth interrupted them. In the dim glow of the wandlight, they could see that he was petting the goat, a little too affectionately for their taste.
"No, no, Aberforth. The Prewetts are good lads, good enough that I might put them in that club I was talking to you about earlier before we were interrupted by the bleating goat and her pursuers." Albus replied.
Gideon cleared his throat. "At any rate, Headmaster, and Aberforth, sirs. We'll just-"
"-be going back to the castle."
"Before you go, boys, I would like a foot long essay on the importance of House Unity in our time." Albus said with much more authority.
"Yes, sir." They replied.
"And, Aberforth and I often catch up by taking walks in the forest, in case we would like to have Brotherly Strolls to be made a scheduled event." Albus called.
From that point on, the Prewetts never went back into the forest.
