At three-thirty that afternoon, Harry, Ron, and the other Gryffindors
hurried down the front steps onto the grounds for their first flying

feet as they marched down the sloping lawns toward a smooth, flat 
lawn on the opposite side of the grounds to the forbidden forest, 
whose trees were swaying darkly in the distance.
