Lucas had left the house again. He didn’t think it was that dangerous. His father knew he was out, he even left from the store’s front door. He wanted to go out, explore a little bit. He saw some kids. Well, kids... they were definitely older than he was. He knew what that meant. Hogwarts students. It must be the last trip to Hogsmeade before the end of the year and no doubt many went out. Of course, to his father, he claimed he wanted to make a stop at the sweetshop to get some candy. Somehow, he was certain his father was not as gullible as that.
Still, Lucas was now outside. There sure were a lot of people out there. The small village always turned into a buzzing place when the students came in. From what he understood, it was their only time outside of the castle, other than for the holidays. He wondered if he looked like one of them. He wished he did. But they all looked older so maybe not. It did not stop him from walking outside, neither that nor the fact they crowded the streets so much it was sometimes hard to walk around.
He was making his way towards the woods. Once, he saw a couple kissing in there. At another, a group had a snowball fight in the field before the shack. Since he had no chance of entering the pub or the sweetshop right now, it was the best place to go. Turning to head in that direction, he did not realise there was someone right next to him until he crashed onto them and fell on his butt. First thought that came to his mind was that it hurt. Second one had him look up to see who he hit like this, wondering if that would be a local or a student.
