at the east side of the castle is a large, dark forest. it is forbidden to the students because of it's dangerous creatures, but often a student or two will sneak in for a bit of adventure. it is home to creatures such as centaurs, thestrals and unicorns, but that is definitely not the end of the list. you can never be sure what you might encounter within the forest, so it's best to do as you're told and stay out.
