| Epping Forest is an area of ancient woodland in south-east England, straddling the border between north-east Greater London and Essex. It is a former royal forest, and is managed by the City of London Corporation.
It covers 2,476 hectares[1][2] and contains areas of woodland, grassland, heath, rivers, bogs and ponds. Stretching between Forest Gate in the south and Epping in the north, Epping Forest is approximately 19 kilometres (12 mi) long in the north-south direction, but no more than 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) from east to west at its widest point, and in most places considerably narrower. The forest lies on a ridge between the valleys of the rivers Lea and Roding; its elevation and thin gravelly soil (the result of glaciation) historically made it unsuitable for agriculture.[3] It gives its name to the Epping Forest local government district which covers part of it.
A truly marvelous place for teenage wizards to hide while on the run from a certain Dark Lord. Just a thought. | |

| Cho: I stumbled a bit as we arrived in the forest but managed to balance myself before I fell. I stared around for a few moments assessing where we had landed. The dead leaves piled on the ground were at least two inches high, but in random spots green sprouted from the earth. The sky above was mostly blocked from view by the arms of trees. Although the trees were not in any way grand in size, their branches stuck out in various odd ways that made them seem particularly stout. It seemed a rather quaint forest but also seemed to go on for miles. I didn't recognize this place so I took the liberty of being the first to speak up after our Apparation. "Where are we?" | |

| Harry: I glanced around, "Epping Forest. The Dursleys came here once on a camping trip...." I shrugged. | |

| Hermione: "It looks deserted enough," I nodded. "We still need to be cautious," I sighed and walked to the edge of the large clearing we were standing in, putting all the protective enchantments I knew in place. "That should keep us relatively safe. But I'm still worried..." I walked back to the others, searching through my bag for the tent as I did so. I finally found it, and pulled it out. "Will someone get this set up, while I try and think?" I asked before beginning to pace the small space. I had no idea where we could start. No idea what we could do from here. Was there even a chance of us being able to successfully complete this task? I didn't know.
Ron: I sighed and quickly set up the tent. | |

| Cho: I nodded as Hermione turned away from us and helped Ron with the tent. We got it done rather quickly, and I was at a loss for how to keep myself occupied. I leaned against and tree and decided to just take in all the nature. It really was beautiful, I had to admit. I could see why muggles might want to spend their time here in recreation. | |

| Harry: I walked over to where Hermione was pacing and sat down against the trunk of a nearby tree, watching her. Everyone seemed to be partially on edge, but Hermione seemed to be more on edge than any of us. Which was understandable. | |

| Ron: "Thanks," I said, looking at Cho, before walking to sit by Harry. "I think she's over thinking this. Maybe we should all rest before we come up with a plan..." | |

| Harry: I looked at Ron, "I thought that was what we have been trying to do all along. You only joined up with us recently. Do you think we're just sitting around thinking about what our friends and family are doing all day?" | |

| Ron: "'Course not... but like I said, I didn't really have a choice about being here or not," I shook my head. "I'm sorry okay, for whatever it is you seem to be so angry with me about.... I don't know what I did, but I'm sorry," | |

| Harry: I sighed and looked away from him, staring at nothing. After a few minutes I turned back, "I suppose you didn't do anything." | |

| Ron: "No... I was an arse. I should have just stuck with you and Hermione back at the school, but... that's the past now, I suppose," I sighed. "Hermione, will you stop pacing? You're making me nervous..."
Hermione: I looked at Ronald. "I'm sorry, I can't help it..." I walked over and sat by the two of them. "I just... I don't know where we can start," | |

| Harry: I nodded absentmindedly at Hermione's words. She was right. None of us knew where to go, or where to start. I had hoped that by now we would have been able to think together and find out at least a probable location for one or two Horcruxes. I sighed and looked at Hermione, "We'll figure something out I suppose. We just need to think on it." | |

| Hermione: I nodded. "Should we just... rest for now, then? Until we can think properly?" | |

| Ron: I smiled a little. "It'll be okay, mate. You'll see. We'll figure this out.... or Hermione will figure this all out.... and everything will work out," | |

| (I set myself up for that one, didn't I? ) Hermione: "You can't always depend on other people to solve your problems. We should all work together," (So Ha) | |

Hermione: I looked over at Cho. "Oh! Erm.... you can join us, you know, it will take all four of us to figure this out," | |

| (Haha It's totally fine ) Cho: I nodded not feeling the need to speak for the first time in a long time. I walked away from the tree I'd been leaning on and joined the group. | |

| Hermione: I sighed, watching Harry carefully. He looked deep in thought, and I didn't want to bother him, but I needed to know his opinion on where this was going. | |

| Cho: I gave Harry a halfhearted smile as I noticed his eyes on me. Probably wondering what I was thinking as I had been away from the group for so long.
(I am oh so glad. <3) | |
