Biography[]
"Keep the witch away!" ― Silas and Cedric[source]
Residing in the eponymous forest of the enchanted book Thrilling Tales from the Forbidden Forest, Cedric and Silas fear a witch known as the "evil thing of Crocrack". In attempt to keep her away, the pair routinely perform a series of claps and stomps, chanting "Keep the witch away!" whenever she is mentioned.
When Peter was pulled into Thrilling Tales from the Forbidden Forest, he met Cedric and Silas in the forest. Seeing his "strange" clothing, the pair believe he is a sorcerer and an agent of the witch and so they capture him, locking him up in their vehicle carrying their treasure. As they explained, they were heading to Misty Mountain in order to repay an ogre the money he lent us. As no one had ever came back from Misty Mountain, the pair gave the task of carrying the jewels up the mountain to Peter.
Ultimately, as Cedric and Silas stop to eat, they see what they believe to be the evil witch, actually Ruksy Tevala, a fairy. Using her wand to break the pair's enchanted lock, Ruksy took Peter back with her to the real world at the Library of Magic.
