It was nearing Midnight, Rowan couldn't sleep. She hardly slept these days anyways. Besides she wasn't one to miss a chance to go outside and explore the forbidden forest in December. She looked to her alarm clock to see that it read 11:45pm. She'd wait another fifteen minutes are so before she climbed out of bed and got dressed to go outside. Was it possible for anyone to be awake besides her? Probably, but they weren't moving from as far as she could tell. She could hear the low breathing of all the girls in her dorm were fast asleep.
She climbed out of bed around 11:55pm, and quickly put on something before she headed out of the dorm. Wrapped around in her cloak she walked through the door of the house and met the dark hallway. Well it was dark, but not to the point where she was blind, everything was in a way brighter to her eyes because of her vision was much better at night than it was during the day. She turned behind her to make sure no one had followed her. Rowan gave a sigh of relief to know no one was following her.
Rowan didn't need a teacher asking her what she was doing even though most of them knew of her 'condition' anyways. So it really wasn't a problem when she was asked. The teachers knew enough to not ask questions as long as she didn't attack another student, which she didn't have any reason to anyways as she made her way down the hallways, going into the darkest areas possible to stay hidden. Some would have thought her weird going in places dark enough without a wand, but she was quite fine without one as she found the oak doors leading to the outside world of Hogwarts.
Quickly scanning the area, she squeezed through the doors and ran toward the forest with speed most humans probably wouldn't have noticed if it came from her or know that she was part vampire. She wasn't as fast as her father, a full fledged vampire, but it didn't bother her as he had usually kept pace with her most of the time or waited for her to follow when he got to a certain hunting spot the two visited often outside of school.
Coming to the forest, she stood at the edge and listened to the sounds around her, long enough to know what was there. Nothing dangerous at least. She could hunt in peace with the animals that were out here. The worst she could encounter is a werewolf or an overgrown spider that she really didn't want to see. Centaurs seemed fine, but she didn't like the beasts. They were just too impulsive and annoying. So she settled somewhere between the magical creatures of the wizarding world and the creatures that ran through the muggle world.
Wandering through the forest at night didn't seem to bother Rowan as it did during the day. Maybe it was because she didn't like people to see her when she walked into the forest or it was because most things were awake during the day? Rowan didn't bother thinking about that she wandered looking around. Her canines had already extended, so it was no denying what she was if someone had never met her. It was a common reflex for her to have them extended, and it was normally when she smelled blood nearby.
Rowan disliked it when someone cut themselves during class because she always had to make an excuse to leave the class while they bandaged themselves up to avoid an accident. Or she had to completely control herself while it happened because there had been times when she nearly had the urge to go after the person and their blood. As of late she was able to control herself because normally she usually feeds once a month or a week at a time to not get her full need of blood and was able to keep herself cool and controlled, but tonight she could most definitely smell the blood. Someone or something was injured and it usually meant trouble was nearby, but she kept it to herself as she caught a bat out of the air and was taking its life source. The sweet nectar smearing over her lips as she was done. She buried the creature in the leaves and looked around, alerted by the sound of a twig breaking of someone following her? Which couldn't be because she made sure she wasn't being followed...
