Echo Mordred Antipathy was already too sick of human company to stand it another minute. He was living up to his name now, repulsed by the meaningless activities the students engaged in. What was the point of meaningless chatter? Why would anyone care who had the newest broom or what brand of Muggle sunglasses they wore?
He had enough of human greed at home. His parents had their summerhomes and their winter estates, but they were still new money in the eyes of society, despite his mother's noble heritage. What was nobility in the face of eternal nothingness? And if the brainless girls of Hogwarts cared so much about their sunglasses, wouldn't wizarding items be more impressive than Chanel?
It sickened him further that he could play the game so well. He knew what those brainless girls and careless boys wanted, and it was all pointless.
He wasn't angry, of course. He wasn't entirely certain what anger felt like, though he had seen it many times. It was a waste of energy, as was everything else.
He was thinking of the cat today. He hadn't done such an experiment in years, and watching people had brought it to mind. Those who were sick were sluggish, while those who weren't were lively and focused on their nothingness. Was that why the experiment had failed?
He had considered buying a cat. It would be guaranteed healthy then. However, someone was bound to notice if the beast died, or if its health suddenly deteriorated. He would find something in the forest and try it here.

Celyn had been to every part of the castle that week except for the forest. It had been exactly 30 minutes since she arrived, settled down on the ground leaning on a large boulder and began a new drawing. Many older ones left abandoned just because she didn't feel like finishing them or they just looked right unfinished. There was an audible tap of the back end of a pencil to paper. She was imagining the art that was being transferred to paper. It was incomplete in her mind, no lips and no eyes, the place were lips were supposed to be were empty and where his eyes were supposed to be was just a shadow. Sometimes those details just flowed without her having to imagine and it always worked out that way for her. Turning to look back down at the almost blank page of her sketchpad, she continued with the bodies contours, leaving the head shape for last.
Celyn was unsure for how long she had been working, but after she felt like the drawing had progressed well she set it aside and dug into her bag, finding nothing of use. Sighing she pointed her wand to the boulder and casted a cushioning charm. Her head rolled back and she looked up through the canopy of tree’s. If anyone were to come into this clearing they might be able to see her outstretched legs, but it wasn’t like students paid attention to where they were going anyways.

Echo was well aware of his surroundings. He didn't want to be caught, and so his gaze took in every detail as he made his careful way through the Forbidden Forest, which he'd discovered wasn't nearly as Forbidden as its name. Who was there to enforce it, anyway? By all rumors, the Head Boy himself enjoyed his trysts here.
Yes, he saw a pair of feminine legs, and for a moment debated turning away, further into the forest to find a subject to soothe his curiosity. He decided in an instant that he could save that experiment for another day. The chances of being heard were far too great, and she had likely heard him coming, as quiet as his footsteps had been through the underbrush.
"Hello?" he asked, stepping further into the clearing. "I'm afraid I've lost my way."
