"Well a normal animal wouldn't maul it, would it?" Ford shot back, a little annoyed that he was being berated by a werewolf of all people for not having planned this whole thing out. At least a wardrobe was a static thing, and if no one approached it or tried to break into it, the dementor wasn't going to be able to hurt anyone. This bloke was just planning on free roaming the Forbidden Forest, by the looks of it, and possibly putting all sorts of people in danger. One of them being Ford.

But at least for the moment he was being moderately helpful — he said he knew digging spells, anyway, which was a start — so perhaps Ford should do his best not to antagonize him. "That'll work," he agreed with a nod, fishing for his wand. "How do you find it later?"

"Mmm maybe not," Endy agreed before a new thought came to him. "A centuar would destroy it if they come across it in their patrols, though. They hate human things being in the forest." He sometimes lived in these forests. He had seen a lot of crap during his stays in the forest and tended to keep a wide berth of the centuars.

They didn't have much time so he took out his mildly worn out wand and began incanting the spells. "I stick something in to mark it or a tracker spell." It felt weird to be more knowledgeable about magic. He had never gone to Hogwarts and found things out from other people or sheer luck. But the man looked wealthy enough so he definitely knew a lot more than he did about other things.

"I'll keep that in mind for tomorrow morning," Ford said a little wryly, to the remark about the centaurs. He thought his current location was probably fairly safe, if the wardrobe had survived over a month already without running afoul of the centaurs. Being in the Regulation for the Control of Magical Creatures department did have some benefits, one of which was that it was easy to ascertain the relative location of the centaur herd and the vampire caverns before he chose which place to dump the wardrobe. He'd thought it was safe from discovery by anyone here, but he hadn't accounted for werewolves.

It could have been far worse, though — this werewolf hadn't threatened to kill him to keep his secret, or anything, and was even being mildly helpful now that Ford had made it clear he needed this wardrobe to stay secure. The hole was there now, so all Ford had to do was levitate the wardrobe down into it, and it was one spell away from being covered up again and safe for the night. Hopefully.

"Thank you," Ford said a bit uneasily, as the dirt began to fill in around the wardrobe. He thought about adding I won't tell anyone about you, as a gesture of goodwill, but — he wasn't entirely sure that was a promise he could keep, so decided against it.

Endy watched as the wardrobe got covered in dirt before glancing up at the moon. Grabbing his things, he figured he would do the man a favour and try going deeper into the forest. "You're welcome. I'm pretty sure I usually stay in one spot when I'm a wolf but I'll move away from here just in case." Endy wasn't too worried about having told the man he was a werewolf. The man did not know who he was, did not have a name from him - a name he never told anyone anyway and seeing as he was homeless, there was pretty much no record of his existence in the world. Which was kind of tragic, he supposed but that was just how things were. "You better get going now."
