Thom laughed. "You just relax, Keifer." he patted the Ravenclaw's head teasingly. "I even think we're almost there. Less than a mile I think - maybe not even half a mile." he grinned at his wand, which was vibrating excitedly.
(( Don't read into that xD ))

Keifer smiled "Im relaxed... Dont worry... So i can be put back on the ground... when we get there?... Im feeling all woozy" Keifer looked at Thoms wand and smirked a little.
(I havnt read into it.. but it does sound dodgy hahaha XD)

(( Haha, I love wands! ))
Thom looked up at the trees. "Do you reckon if I summoned my broom, I could fly up and find a way through. You know, to take a look?"
Without waiting for an answer, Thom turned to face North, and held his broom above his head. Praying silently for a moment, Thom bellowed clearly. "Accio Thom's broomstick!" he immediately squatted on the ground, dragging Keifer with him. "Moment of truth," he whispered.
There was a long time in which Thom was sure the broom was not coming - undoubtly because it was as disobidient as his wand - but then a faint whooshing sound filled the air, and his rickety old Comet Two-Sixty came flying through the air towards him.
"Excellent!" He said, pulling the two of them up.

"I dont know... Possibly" Keifer answered as he summoned the broom. He hoped to hell he wouldnt summon a whole lotta brooms... They didnt need flying sticks trying to swat them.
Keifer felt himself being pulled up as Thom got on the broomstick. "Are you sure... it will... hold both of...us?"

The two of them swayed dangerously on the weak Comet Two-Sixty. Thom could feel Keifer's fingers digging into his shoulders from behind, no doubt feeling dizzy already. "Are you ready?"
Thom only hoped Keifer wouldn't fall off...

Keifer dug his fingers in Thom's shoulder. He felt like he was going to fall off, the broom was syaing dangerously in the slight breeze and Keifer wasnt sure if it would hold much longer. "Yeah.." he ansered

Thom gripped the handle, and pulled it upwards gently, satisfied as it seemed to be able to handle both their weight. Steadily they ascended towards the canopy, the broom only shaking a little under the strain. "Come on, you can do it..." he said soothingly to his broom.
As they reached the canopy Thom began a swift but steady search for a gap in the treetops. "If you see anything, Keifer, point."
Thom suddenly remembered that he had left his precious unicorn horn on the ground, and without thinking he looked down frantically, causing the broom to suddenly dip without warning.

Keifer began to scan the trees looking for any sign of an entry. The broom began to dip and Keifer felt himself lunge sideways. He somehow regained his balance and pointed. "Just... there"

Thom wobbled, but managed to get the broom steady once more. Following Keifer's gaze, he spotted the tiny opening in the trees, just big enough for a head to poke through.
Steadily he flew over. "I think you should look. If I take my concerntration of this bloody thing, we're werewolf food." he said darkly. He raised the broom a little. "Can you see anything?"

Not that you can see it, Erich replies from the ground, speaking directly in to them from a distance, but I have taken care of your little problem. You will find the Lethifolds have taken their leave of the forest.
What they cannot see from above the trees: small windows, like water caught in the act of motion, open beneath the gliding forms and draw them in at inches and then feet, then whole bodies that disappear from the forest. The matrix of the forest is in constant upkeep of its inhabitants and decides who and what will belong to it. Erich is all about choices of course and his magic lifts upward, a thermal of air almost, and catches the two students in flight---transporting the both of them and their broom over the pale circular shell of the lake.
The teleportations leave slight depressions in the ground, blades of grass and smooth pebbles from the lake, caught here when the door was finally closed.
(OOC: Lethifolds teleported to sunbathing thread on the lake. Much freaking out on the part of topless Boggleworth for sure.
