  Rowena looked at the clock nervously. The arms showed 7:30 pm. She was sitting on the rocking chair set in the library and her friends were sitting right infront of her, on a large couch.

Helga got up and said "I think we should start following Nemusa to make sure we don't lose track of her. Are you ready?" Godric looked at Salazar and after seeing his friend nod, he also got up and said "Let's do this." Which was followed by Salazar and Rowena standing up as well.

"Okay now let's grab my Invisibility cloak and get to work." Salazar said with a crooked smile.

Godric looked down in embarrassment while Rowena said "Yeah...um... We... There might be a slight chance that you know..." Salazar shook his head in frustration and raised his voice slightly saying "Get to the point!"
 
  Rowena jumped up a little and said "We lost it somewhere along the way when teleporting back to your dormitory from Nemusa's room." Salazar covered his face with his hands for a few seconds and then he took a deep breath.

"My father is definitely going to kill me this time." Salazar translated his previous gestures into words as others giggled.

"So are we leaving or what?" Godric asked and with everyone's agreement, they finally left the library after hours.

Rowena and Helga were following Nemusa closely. It wasn't too hard to feel her anger and tention even from a 7 step distance in a corridor full of students.

       *fast forwarding to midnight*

  "We've been following her around for the last a few hours and nothing. Now what do we do?" Helga asked Salazar and Godric who were thinking hard about a plan finally spoke up "Lets all wait outside and we'll each cover one gate. She won't have another possible option to get out of this place. Right?" Godric asked after explaining what he had in mind.

Rowena shook her head and pressed her lips answering "They've got a window in their room that doesn't have any gates under it and anyone can climb down safety with a rope."

Salazar frowned and asked "How are you so sure about that?" he crossed his arms and waited for his friend's reply.

  "Well duh i have stole Worluck's map. I know where everything is located. How do you think i knew the place of your dormitory and it's window that specifically the night we were going to Nemusa's room. Or even her room's location in the first place?" Rowena replied with a question of her own.

 "Does that map give any sort of information about any tunnels or ways that can get us to the forbidden jungle?" Helga asked Rowena.

"I'm afraid not. We'll need to take the high ground and follow her." Rowena suggested. "Hold on, what do you mean by taking the high ground?" Salazar asked Rowena. "I mean putting your lorexa spells into good use and help us move safely from a tree to another." Salazar rolled his eyes.

  After a few more minutes of planning, they sneaked out of the collage, 'taking the high ground' as Slazar casted many of his lorexa spells to build strong, thick ropes made of a material named lorex, to help his friend's move quicker and easier on the trees.

 Minutes had passed and finally, they could finally see a person wearing a balck cloak walk right under them. The blue curly hair that was visible from under the cloak, made it obvious that the person in the cloak was indeed Nemusa.

 So they continued their follow, relying on Salazar's spells. After a while, Nemusa stopped.

She took the cloak off and waved her wand. From left to right and back and forth while casting unfamiliar spells. Secons later, She then fell to the ground. As if she had weakened.
