You landed with a thud on the hard ground. Groaning and a bit swaying you stood up. All that spinning from earlier has made you dizzy. You couldn't see anything clearly. You closed your eyes and leaned onto the nearest object you could find for support and let the dizziness pass.
After a few moments, you opened your eyes only to find yourself in the middle of a dense forest with huge trees with even huger trunks. You were leaning against one of these huge trunks. They were looking ancient and it took you no time to figure out, it was the Forbidden Forest.

The sun has set a long time ago. You couldn't know the time, as it was around 2 or 3 pm when you left the future. It was dark and eerily silent inside the forest. With a shiver you realised it was freezing cold on top of all these.

The wand moved of its own accord and directed towards the left. You knew Hogwarts to be in the North of Scotland. Still having second thoughts, you walked in that direction. Besides, you didn't have any other options, did you?
Sighing you continued your tread. Observing the forest clearly this time,you noticed, the radiant moonlight that fell over the trees, casting their shadows on the ground. The dark forest happened to be a great contrast to the ever fluorescent moon.
