Things to do while on the trip:

One: Find Shelter for the night
Two: Arrange Sleeping places/assign watch duties
Three: Build a fire - but don't burn the forest down or attract unfriendly creatures.
Four: Find yourselves food, remember, food cannot be created magically, so you will have to forage or hunt.
Five: Face off at least one unfriendly plant or creature using skills you have learned in class.
Six: Navigate back here tomorrow morning.

Good luck!

Tess went over the names of her group members again: Benjamin, Joe, and Brooke. Joe was the Hufflepuff that she knew from a few years. She only knew that he was quiet and that was enough to know that he was alright in her team. Brooke was a new person. She had only seen her in the halls, or while she was doing patrols. Tess was in no way discriminatory so long as she was on her top game. The problem, the thorn on her side was the Head Boy himself. The history between the two of them was a hostile one, one of love and heartbreak and within this range, it had brought a rift between the two of them. Taking a breath, she signaled the people to meet up, knowing that based on the rules, they would need to start working and fast.

She repeated the rules in her head, not bothering to write it down knowing she worked better that way:

One: You will need to find a safe place to sleep.
Two: Find shelter, and make suitable sleeping surfaces.
Three: Build a fire - but don't burn the forest down.
Four: Find yourself food, remember, food cannot be created magically, so you will have to forage or hunt.
Five: You will have to face of unfriendly plants or creatures.
Six: You must navigate back here tomorrow morning.

"We need to find a proper clearing for shelter; there we could forage for fruits or nuts that we could thrive on, as well as try to find tinder and stones to create a nice pit to avoid the fire spreading. Is that alright? What do you think?" she asked.

She followed the group into the forest, trying and failing to memorize the path they took. The whole time, she avoided looking at Joe, instead focusing on the path and the ground. It was as if the universe was laughing and mocking her, bringing her and Joe together in the first place they had met, except this time, they weren't at all happy.

Once they had been left in their spot, she forced herself to pay attention to Tess, nodding at her words. "Maybe... Maybe we could split up? Two people look for food two people make shelter? Wouldn't that be faster?" she suggested. In all honestly, she didn't know if that would be the best option, but she needed an excuse to get away from Joe. She only hoped he felt the same way, because that would be the best for them, considering ... everything, really.

Tess shrugged, breaking up into two would make everything a lot easier, especially tension wise. She felt so much anxiety from four people, that it confused her, not so much from Benjamin and her but Walters and Joe. Shrugging she lightly touched Joe's shoulder, just signaling him to go one way. She knew him well enough, in their younger years and now him being prefect was a bit easier than Brooke who she remembered briefly from meetings and the potions incident.

"Come on Joe, we can go forage for food" she said and walked off not bothering with others saying something different. She would rather work with him than anyone else in the group.

Walking ahead, she figured he would be behind and began to mutter things as she looked through the bushes knowing that oftentimes there were berries. Sadly enough she didn't have the heart to hunt anything, she figured she would cry if she saw it. Pathetic, but it was true.

Ben frowned at the announcement of the groups. It would be just his luck that they would be paired together once more in this class. It was as if the professor had something against hi. Although, in this instance, when it was a manner of survival, he wasn't as opposed as he would usually be. If he was going to rely on someone else, he regrettably had to admit to himself that Tess was the closest it came.

He followed after the small group, not keen on the fact that it was winter, and would therefore make cover harder to manage. Listening to the others, his lip twitched slightly at the talk of building a fire. At least in that respect his group need not worry.

When the Gryffindor suggested they split up, Ben felt his stomach drop. With his luck, he'd get stuck with the Head Girl, and they would only embarrass themselves. Apparently she thought the same, as she pulled the Hufflepuff along with her to go find food. Watching them walk off, he was glad that he was accustomed to going without food.

Turning to Brooke, at least he thought that was her name, he started taking off his cloak. He didn't really need it, but it would come in handy for what he had in mind for shelter. It didn't take him long to find an outcropping of rocks that would give them just the smallest bit of natural shelter. He nodded his head in that direction, knowing Brooke would follow.

He grabbed a tall branch off the ground, at least two meters, and shoved it into the ground in the small clearing. With the base in place, he pulled out his wand and configured his cloak into to stretch into a longer piece of fabric. The black color worked well enough, when turned inside out, and he placed the center of it on the top of the stick.

"Do you know the Sticking Charm?" he asked the girl, the first time he really spoke up so far. Not waiting for her to answer, he took the stretched material and started spelling the ends of it to stick tot he rock outcropping. It would serve as a roof for their shelter, if not a very large shelter. With that done, and one side hanging loose to be their entrance, he turned to the girl.

"Let's gather some fallen branches. If we stick them to the material, it will help conceal us."

Joe got a pretty good draw when it came to his teammates. The two Slytherins, he didn't know particularly well, but Joe would swear to have encountered Tess at some point. Brooke, though, Brooke's name brought shivers through his whole body and yet an odd sense of warmth at the same time. Still, it would have to be okay, he reasoned, because it was a school thing and as dull as it always seemed, Joe's personal life never interfered with his studies.

He listened to the ideas be tossed around and agreed hastily when Tess volunteered them to go food searching. Joe wasn't a hunter; he didn't have the build nor the emotional capacity to be one, but he could forage and he wasn't bad at depicting poision foods from safe ones, so he figured he wouldn't be totally hopeless. The Hufflepuff followed the Slytherin into some bushes, still biting his tongue slightly because despite their encounters as younger students, Joe wouldn't go as far as to call them friends.

"I'm uh-... Sorry about the tension back there," he finally said, trying to lighten the mood a little. "I'll try not to make you want to kill the both of us when we get back." He gave her an apologetic smile and kept moving, knowing that berries were a little scarce in the winter, and that finding a decent source wouldn't be too easy.

There was one bush, though, that caught his eye. Dark red berries hung from the branches and Joe crouched to try and get a better look at them, rolling one between his fingers. It didn't look deadly, but it was hard to tell with these things. "What do you think?" he asked the Slytherin, looking up at her.

The silence as they looked on was oddly comforting for she wasn't much of a talker to begin with. She didn't have to look back to know Joe had followed her. They never really talked more than a handful of times, but she knew he wasn't helpless, which she appreciated.

Winter made it all the harder for them to forage, especially with the snow and the wind. She muttered a heating charm, and wished she would have brought her gloves.

I'm uh-... Sorry about the tension back there," he finally said, trying to lighten the mood a little. "I'll try not to make you want to kill the both of us when we get back."

Hearing him talk is what made her finally turn to see him. He looked sheepish and embarrassed, and his comment actually amused her. Her lip twitched and she gave him a small grin.

"Don't worry, I won't kill any of you.  I don't like getting my hands dirty." She commented, "Plus whatever tension is between this group, all that matters is that we survive"

She didn't follow his movements instead went to one of the trees that was known to have flowers in the Spring, she figured they would have something left. Bending down, she dig through the snow, ignoring the ice reddening her skin, and picked up a few fallen oranges. She wasn't sure how good they were but from the look they weren't too frozen.

" What do you think?"

Seeing berries, she genuinely smiled seeing something that looked edible. Looking up at the tree, she noticed broken bark as tugged it hard letting them only for it to chip somewhat. Placing leg on the tree, she was thankful for wearing tights under her skirt and kicked, finally the bark broke and fell around her.

" Thank Merlin, I thought we could've starved. I don't want to hunt" I can't hunt is what she meant"I've got some half frozen oranges, and I've got some firewood, we find a few nuts, and collect as many berries as possible and I think we will be okay for one night. Don't you think?"
