Default Muggle Studies Lesson One- Activity!

Once everyone had been ready, Kay led them outside. It was still only slightly cold but it was enough to add colour to her cheeks. She was so certain that they kiddos would love today's activity that they would forget about the weather. Most if not all of them would have figured it out by now because she had never aimed to be subtle about it. As it was, she led them a part of Hogwarts's vast grounds that had been meticulously worked on by herself with the help of the Groundskeeper.

There was concrete. There were walls. There were twists and turns.

Together they formed a maze.

Beside the maze, organised in a neat row were cars. There was an old-fashioned design to them but with modern graphics etched on. The designs were all the same though the colours varied.

"It seems pretty clear what you lot have to accomplish with this activity, yes? First, you all select a car. One at a time, you will enter the maze. I will be at the end keep track of the amount of time it takes you to find the exit. Within this maze, there are obstacles: pedestrians, potholes of water, construction equipment, farm animals... the pedestrians and farms animals are mechanical and will try to halt your progress.

The walls are wide enough to accommodate three vehicles on the same path simultaneously. You start five minutes after the person ahead of you.''
Simple enough right? "You may begin selecting your cars, you get started at the traffic light with the little girl at the pedestrian crossing. There will be prizes at the end.

Also, not to worry. The cars are designed so as to not cause injury should you crash.''
Magic had been involved in that but it couldn't have been helped. Not for the kiddos' sakes.

Helpful links:
* A little over 24 hours left!
* About 26 hours remaining!


OOC: So... the activity will close on Sunday 27th May at 11:00 PM EST. In order to determine how long your kiddo spends in the maze, use this random generator. There are four boxes that need to be filled out there. Use the following information:
Box 1: 1
Box 2: 9:00
Box 3: 12:00
Box 4: 1

Then click 'Get times'!

Get creative with the kiddos and the way things go with the obstacles No post amount is required but in your last post, please indicate how long your charrie took in the maze so winners can be chosen. Simply pretend that it's your kiddo's turn to enter the maze

Click the spoiler tag for images of the maze, the car and a filled up box for the random generator.

the Slytherin said uncharacteristically brave. "Do you need help keep track of times or something?" Because that was something Max was more comfortable doing, yep.




Kay looked hard at Maxton. Was he that afraid of getting into the car and trying for himself just how fun driving could be? "Are you worried about your safety? If so, I assure you that this is completely safe.'' She would know as she had seen that the proper measures were in place and had even tested it for herself.

Jessa had followed the group along with a warming charm in place to ease the edge of the cold air that threatened her asthma--reluctant as she was--because the Professor said so but this maze thing was another story entirely. The walls were too tall for her to see over, even if she got on top of her car. There was no pausing to stick her head up and get her bearings but it sounded like there was ample things to make things go wrong in there.


Add to that the fact that there were a ton of wrong turns in a maze that she COULD take and essentially have herself cornered and you could see where her mind was going with this.


The Ravenclaw watched her classmates get inside the cars and speed off but she had no such plans.


Instead, Jessa moved to one end of the maze and began to follow the wall to the back where she suspected the Professor would be waiting. On the inside she could hear the horns and yells too but they did nothing to make her want to be a part of it.


The wall seemed to stretch for a while but finally she found the woman and the point at which she suspected people would be exiting. Jessa walked up to the woman with her clipboard who looked so attentive. "May I have a map, Professor?"


Kay's blue eyes went from the stopwatch to the maze's exit and back again. Really! This was exciting. She just couldn't wait to see who would be out fir- She blinked. "Ms. Cambridge,'' she began in a tone of amazement. "There will be no such thing given.'' It wasn't as though she even had a map. Now her firm and stern tone came forth. "There's still time to complete the activity. Kindly go ahead to do so.'' Goodness! Why was Jessa being so difficult with her today? Unless... "Is something wrong?''

There was a right curve coming up and she instinctively leaned her body to the right, hopeful to make the turn easier and not lose too much speed. The tires squealed in protest, but her foot refused to back off of the gas. Another right turn, then a left was coming, then another quick left. She was sure she was leaving tire marks on the road, but she didn’t want to risk taking her eyes off of what was in front of her to glance in the rear view to see.


Finally, she approached another right turn, followed shortly with another right. “Where does this end!” she beeped the horn several times in frustration. Her car simply wasn’t going fast enough. “Water!” she screamed when she saw another large puddle of water before her. This time she braced herself for the impact and hydroplaning that was sure to come. “Ahhhhhhhhh!” her scream was in excitement this time around. She knew what to expect after her last water encounter and the floating feeling and water flying all around were a welcome thrill.


She felt her tires make purchase on dry pavement again, and sped forward. Just a head she had a choice to make, straight or turn right. Not wanting to sacrifice speed, she chose straight. The car flew forward and she could just make out the finish line. BEEP BEEP BEEP her horn blared as she cruised across the finish line and slammed the brakes, bringing her vehicle to a sudden stop. “That was awesome!”


She smiled brightly at Professor Stewart and tried to eye her time. She hoped it was fast enough and wondered if she should have picked a different car. Her’s had felt so slow and she hoped it hadn’t been a dud.


The first car was approaching the end of the maze! "Get ready, Mr. Carden.'' And the first person out was... Lyn! "Oh, well done. Ms Walsh. You're the first one out.'' Meaning, everyone else would have to beat the time of... "Nine minutes.''

SPOILER!!: Hattie!

So she'd probably stick to the magical forms of transportation. First though, because she even considered that she needed to get out of this maze. That involved getting through this puddle. The girl slowed her car down a little, so that she went through the puddle without it going everywhere. She didn't want to crash right at this last second. She used the same tactic that she had with the other puddles, knowing that it had worked out pretty well for her. It worked this time too, and she carried on along the road.


She came to a junction, but didn't turn up it for she could see the end of the maze in front of her. She smiled to herself, speeding up a little as she made it towards the end of the maze, and left it. She pulled the car back up where it was, and turned it off. She sighed, relaxing in the seat for a moment. That was fun, but she was glad that it was done. She got out of the car and smiled at the Professor. "That was fun!" But she probably wouldn't want to do it again. Now to wait for all her fellow peers to be done


Was that the sound of another car approaching the finish of the maze? It was! Kay beamed as Prefect Paton came driving up. "I'm glad you think so. Great job.'' Did Maxton get the time? Oh right. She held the stopwatch and had to give him the information. "One minute, one second behind Ms Walsh, Mr. Carden,'' she told her Snakey assistant. "Ms. Paton? You may head back where you started to park the car.''


OOC: HI You guys have about 26 hours left!

Bleh. Chloe was pleased that she managed to back out of the hedge, just as she was pleased that she had puttered around a few corners without ending up back inside a bush. The thing that didn't please her was that she was so slow, there was no way she'd win this race. Maybe she should just enjoy the ride?

So she did just that. Turned corners and plucked leaves from the hedges when she got too close. Stopped for livestock and brought a chicken or two into the car with her (they were named Henrietta and Helena). And splashed puddles with glee, especially when they sent a wave of muddy water on the wheels of some other car in her vicinity.

And hey, maybe she'd exit this maze some day.

Worried about his safety... worried that he wouldn't know how to drive the car... worried that he'd get lost in the maze... worried about embarrassing himself. He worried a lot and he worried about everything.

"Writing down the names and times is fine by me, Professor!" Max smiled gratefully and then kneeled down to rummage through his bag for some parchment and a self-inking quill.

He glanced up to see Emmalyn exiting the maze, and then Hattie...

"On it, Miss!"
Still kneeling, he jotted the names and times down, taking extra care to make it neat enough for Professor Stewart to read. This was waaaaaay better than going in that maze.

Emmalyn Walsh - 9:00
Hattie Paton - 10:01

There. Perfect!

Default Finish time is 10:58
Hiss!Roar!Growl!Caw! | Hermione's Double | The Little Three | Alecate

Maddie had no idea if anybody had already finished the race or not. Truth be told, she was kind of glad she hadn't finished yet. It was fun driving around the track, and when would she ever get to do this again?! "WOOOOHOOOO!" she called out into the wind, as she continued to steer the car. She'd really gotten the hang of it now, and outside of the obstacles, she was actually driving pretty good.

She turned left after passing the horse, which was a good thing seeing as she'd have met with another obstacle had she gone the other way. There was a puddle up ahead, and all thanks to her somewhat experience in driving, she was able to slow down and coast through it. It made little splashes as she moved over it, but it was nowhere near the kind of splash that had drenched her before. This was awesome!

It was pretty smooth sailing at this point, seeing as there didn't seem to be any big decisions as to which way to turn. Maddie was steering along quite nicely, until a sudden water puddle appeared out of nowhere. Well, it probably didn't just appear all of the sudden, but that's what it seemed like to her. "WHOOOOOOOOAAAA!" she said, as her wheels hit the puddle too fast, and she started to spin. "HELP MEEEEEEEEE!!!!"

Maddie's car did two complete spins in the road, and unbeknownst to her at first, it circled its way across the finish line, where Maddie ended up hitting the brakes and causing it to come to a stop. Her eyes were wide open, and she was a little pale from the shock, but she was doing fine. "I'm...done...," she said, slightly out of breath.

Finally deciding to go to left, Ronan flicked on the signal and guided the car in that direction. Only to quickly come up to another decision, this time on rather to go straight or turn. On instinct, he decided to go left again, making sure to flick the signal on before he did so. He guided the car smoothly around the corner and came across a....wait a minute. How had Professor Stewart found a mundane horse to use in this maze? He thought that the only horses they had around here were the flying ones? Though, it did bring to mind a song that would be stuck there the rest of the day now. Wild Horses.

Only, this one was nothing like a wild horse, instead taking its sweet time crossing the road. Grr. Stupid horse.

*HONK*

Well, that worked. The startled horse ran off to be someone else's problem, allowing Ronan to follow the road to yet another turning decision. He chose to go left again, guiding the car around yet another corner and eventually to yet another turning decision. Unlike the others, however, it was pretty clear which way to go here, as he was looking straight ahead at a clear dead end. He went right and guided the car around a few more corners and through a few more water-filled potholes (using the windscreen wipers after each, of course) before pulling up to the finish line to find that he wasn't the first one done. Huh? The others must have been going like 100mph or something.

Anyway, he pulled the car back around to the start and parked it in a spot, shut off the engine, and unbuckled his seatbelt before hopping out and shutting the door. "At least I know I'll probably pass my driver's test," he remarked with a genuine smile as he walked over to where Professor Stewart and some others were gathered. Really, it was a relief.

He still... did not know what to do. Turn the key in the ignition? Well, if he could locate it before sundown, sure.

When it was his turn, he approached the vehicle hesitantly and took a seat behind the steering wheel. His shaking hands flying around aimlessly, he eventually found where the key was, but he wasn't sure how this whole turning it in the ignition worked. Was it clockwise, anti-clockwise? Halfway, all the way around? What if he broke it?! Taking a deep breath, he turned the key slightly, his eyes widening when something that sounded like the engine roared to life.

Oh. Oh. Now how would he get it to move?

...

This was nerve-wracking.

Maybe the pedals! Though there were so many things all around him that he was sure it wouldn't work that easily. Struggling to stretch his short leg forward, he pressed the first pedal from the left, but nothing happened. He pressed the middle one, and still nothing happened. But when he pressed the last one, he couldn't help but yelp in surprise when the car GROWLED at him. What had he done?!

... but it still didn't move. His eyes then landed on the thing to his right that looked like a controller. Maybe he had to do something with that, as well, but he was too flustered and wasting time. So, with flushed cheeks and eyes cast down to avoid any and all contact with anyone else, he turned off the engine, scurried out of the car and walked towards professor Stewart, dread settled in his stomach. "I'm sorry, professor, but I can't do it by myself." He was even willing to overcome his immense fear of actually driving that thing.

WHO WAS SCREAMING oh…wait, she was, she was totally screaming. Her eyes wide with panic as she watched people driving as…as she got behind the well as the ignition turned and roared to life. Everything was screaming, maybe it was more the engine screaming but she there was a chance she had as well.

”we’re not going to die” she whispered to herself before starting the car and beginning to…stay at an almost complete standstill because o pinkymcsnobface on the crosswalk. really that was fun. So fun.

The moving things on the maze were…loud, annoying…obnoxious you name it. Probably something they were like in real life yeah? Except, chickens she’d heard people talk of it. Chickens weren’t usually that big of an issue or so she’d heard.

He probably was.

He was also low key freaking out and wanted to try and get into the maze with people who had wheels on the SAME side so they could all be on the same side in case, you know, there was a traffic jam and stuff and...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh...he really should just focus on picking a car.

Though as he was pulling open the door he spotted Jessa...and felt his stomach do a bit of a lurch because, yeah, mazes were not her thing. He sorta wished that he could make her his navigator somehow...but neither had their two way mirrors with them so that was sorta out. So, rather than really saying anything to her about the activity - he knew how the offer to sit in the car with him would go - he smiled at the Ravenclaw. "Wish me luck?"

Because hew as gonna need it. Not the best sense of direction and all, though he knew if you just kept turning the same way the whole time EVENTUALLY you would get to the exit.

Sooooooooooo into a car that was Derf size he went, a BRITISH model car, keys into the ignition soon enough and then he was looking to...er...figure out the rest of how to get things going. He KNEW about turning the key and stuff...and one of the peddle things was go and the other stop...so he should step on the GO one, right?

So he did. And the engine roared. But......nothing happened at ALL.

RRRRRRRR rrrr RRRRRRR rrrrrrrrrrr

Still stuck in place but now with a bit of an unsavory smell to go with it, Derf was puzzled as to why he STILL wasn't moving. And he wasn't even a stranger to muggle cars! He had been on plenty of road trips and everything - though most of the time he had had his head stuck out the window like a dog enjoying the fresh air on its fuzzy face - so this was more than a little embarrassing and he now wished he had paid more attention to when dad had started the car during some of those road trips through the Australian countryside. But...dad had mostly done manual cars and not automatics so maybe THAT was the problem?

Derf ruffled his hair and was feeling incredibly at a loss right now...aaaaaaand it seemed he was on his own with figuring it out. That was okay though, best to learn through trial and error...yeah?

Maybe...he needed to push down HARDER on the go pedal?

SLAMMING his foot down on it, the result was nothing more than the engine ROARING even louder than before.

RRRRRRRR rrrr RRRRRRR rrrrrrrrrrr

And there were some other horrible sounds coming from under the bonnet to his car, metal scrapping against metal he reckoned, and now it was sounding like he was breaking his car.

Eeeeeer...

Glancing out the window, the fifth year looked around at people steadily coming in and out of the maze...while he was still stuck in park. Literally. Though unknowingly. Having never been behind the wheel before, you know, oops?

OOC: I did this when I first posted...but I don't think I have time to RP Derf going through the whole maze so...just for reference purposes.

No map? No?

Well then.

"I don't want to complete the activity." She said, her tone even despite the way her own eyes moved back to the maze with some level of apprehension. "Even if there is time. I'd rather stand out here with you and wait for the others." The walls were too tall, there were likely too many dead ends, one way exits--only one real exit--and she couldn't very well drive the car atop the wall as she'd sorta done in Astronomy that one time where she walked the wall to exit the maze.

Closed spaces were hard for her, even on her best days. There was no way she'd be able to enter the maze and get anywhere of remarkable distance before the walls began closing in and her mind began wandering off.

No. Absolutely not. She was definitely staying out here.

To make that plain, Jessa moved to stand just beside the woman before turning her gaze to the exit. She was now in position to watch and wait for the racers to exit. This was how she would do the activity.

Rylee stood there out on the grounds her mouth hanging open as she stared at the maze. It was large. The walls were taller than her. There were cars. Dear Merlin what was she getting her small self into?! She had no idea how to drive! A part of her was saying 'noway!' but another part of her was saying 'what are you waiting for?!'

There was rules. The cars were charms to be safe. She would be safe. She wouldn't get hurt in case of an accident. That was important. Those few words played over and over in her head a few times and the second year glanced at Stewart quickly before slowly making her way towards the cars. A smaller one might be best... nothing to big. Blue eyes zoomed in on the one she wanted and she headed right for it. A small light purple colored car.

Opening the door of the car she got into the seat and looked around. First thing was her seat belt. It didn't matter if she couldn't get hurt. Then she turned the key to the right starting the ignition, her small hands gripping the steering wheel right away. "Here goes nothing..." she muttered more to herself than anyone else. Taking a deep breath she fixed her eyes on the road ahead but she couldn't see much... uh-oh. Short person problems!

Squirming about in her seat to and inching forward to try to sit taller she was able to see better. "Okay this is okay...." Pushing her foot down on the gas slowly the car roared to life rolling forward. "WHOA!" Rylee exclaimed loudly startling herself into laughter. Right away there was a traffic light causing her to stomp on the brakes, the car jolting to a stop making her fly forward and then back into the seat. "Oof! Darn thing!" Might want to tone it down a bit on the brakes next time...

When the light turned green she turned the steering wheel to the right slowly slowly okay the car wasn't.... she turned the wheel a bit harder sending the car right around into the curve as she pushed down on the gas pedal. "Not so fast!" she yelled at herself like she wasn't the one driving the car. Oh, look at the cow in the road. Wait. Cow in the road?

COW IN THE ROAD!

Rylee slammed on the breaks yet again knocking herself into the steering wheel this a bit more painfully. "Ow..." she groaned rubbing her shoulder. "What are you doing cow... don't just stand there... please move.." The cow was taking forever to make it's way across the road. Finally she was able to keep driving slowly pressing down on the gas once more and taking a left turn at the end of the road up ahead and then another left.

SPLAH!

Right through a puddle she went water spraying up around the car making her laugh loudly. That was much better than having to hit the breaks for a cow!

Default Here are your clock times: 11:32 !!! *flails* LAST BUT NOT LEAST??
YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers

A maze. Driving a car. Through a maze. Underaged teenagers driving a car through a maze. If it hadn't been for the madness of the unfair lesson with the poltergeist a couple terms ago, Skylar probably would have questioned Stewart's sanity, but alas, not the case. Being seventeen herself and feeling fully confident with her abilities to drive a car (fake confidence, mind you because she'd never driven before but figured it wouldn't be too challenging for the sporty intellect that she was), Skylar waited until one of the last people entered the maze before getting into the car herself. She figured the times were being clocked individually, so when she started wouldn't matter.

Seatbelt clicked in, the brunette found herself first exploring each of the parts, trying to recall the names of each of them .... Okay, she could do this. It was just like riding her Bluebottle C. Only more controls. Turning the key, she stepped on the gas but nothing happened. Huh? OHHHHH........... OHHHH ........ Stepping on the gas again and hearing the engine roar, she glanced down at the dash and then her eyes flicked over to the center console. Wait. P. P. Something with shifting gears..... Which she did, only problem was the R was the next thing she shifted to and her foot was still pumping on the gas pedal, which meant she backed right up instead of zooming forward. Aha! So that was how that worked.

Laughing a little, Skylar jammed her foot onto the other pedal instinctively, and then shifted on the little knob thing again. And again. D. That must be for Drive. Hesitantly, she placed her foot over the gas peddle and gave it a little tap. The car jerked forward. A little more gas and she was into the maze until she reached an end which meant, going right? That was the only way to go. Right through a puddle. Which since she was going slow because she was reluctant to give it too much gas, fortunately the puddle didn't splash up and she just sort of coasted through it. Left or right. Left. And Left again and .........

BREEAKKKK!!!!

WHAT IN SALAZAR SLYTHERIN WAS THAT HORSE DOING THERE?!??!

Screaming, she shut her eyes as the car came to a halt just before smacking right into the horse. Goodnesssss, REALLY!?! She could have KILLED an innocent horse! Panicked, Skylar felt her heart beating super fast as she tried to collect herself, thankful she hadn't been speeding through and wondering when the horse would get our of the road. Wait .... wait... wait... and thereee finally it noticed her and started to move...

Once the path was clear, she continued straight forward to a -- dead end? Oh, backing up with that handy R that she'd accidentally shifted to before starting the race she looked left and right, seeing a pedestrian to the right so headed left instead ... and around the curve to the right... More right curves and through another puddle, coasting gently through and then another curve and another and another ... and another curve ....

And seeing the finish up ahead, she stepped harder on the gas pedal, only problem, she didn't see the other puddle. Which splashed up on the sides of her vehicle slowing her momentum just a bit, but persevering the captain kept going until the end, stepping on the break and unbuckling her seatbelt. But as she went to get out of the car, she was jolted back, as the car jolted forward... yup. That's right, she forgot all about parking the car after breaking.

Car in park and she was done. Could she just sit in here awhile and hope her time wasn't too terrible compared to everyone else's??

Oh, finish line! Hooray! Chloe waved like a parade float queen, hoping to see the professor and her classmates. Surely she was last, but at least it was fun, and she had several chickens in her car, and she hadn't rolled over anyone. No murder, which was always a plus.

Granted, her car was very dirty and she thought one of the chickens had laid an egg under the passenger seat and she had leaves in her hair somehow. Still fun, though.

"I MAAAAAADE IT!" Just in case anyone cared.

SPOILER!!: quoting self to keep track

Still stuck in place but now with a bit of an unsavory smell to go with it, Derf was puzzled as to why he STILL wasn't moving. And he wasn't even a stranger to muggle cars! He had been on plenty of road trips and everything - though most of the time he had had his head stuck out the window like a dog enjoying the fresh air on its fuzzy face - so this was more than a little embarrassing and he now wished he had paid more attention to when dad had started the car during some of those road trips through the Australian countryside. But...dad had mostly done manual cars and not automatics so maybe THAT was the problem?

Derf ruffled his hair and was feeling incredibly at a loss right now...aaaaaaand it seemed he was on his own with figuring it out. That was okay though, best to learn through trial and error...yeah?

Maybe...he needed to push down HARDER on the go pedal?

SLAMMING his foot down on it, the result was nothing more than the engine ROARING even louder than before.

RRRRRRRR rrrr RRRRRRR rrrrrrrrrrr

And there were some other horrible sounds coming from under the bonnet to his car, metal scrapping against metal he reckoned, and now it was sounding like he was breaking his car.

Eeeeeer...

Glancing out the window, the fifth year looked around at people steadily coming in and out of the maze...while he was still stuck in park. Literally. Though unknowingly. Having never been behind the wheel before, you know, oops?

OOC: I did this when I first posted...but I don't think I have time to RP Derf going through the whole maze so...just for reference purposes.

Oh hey, look at that. Chloe had made it through the maze. And since he currently had his head hanging out the window he was able to throw her a bit of a grin....as he continued to struggle with his own vehicle.

Pumping the go pedal a few more times, Derf was preeeeeeeeetty sure that that smoke was coming from under the bonnet. Okay...there was a LOT of smoke coming out now. UuuuuuUUUuuuuuUUm.

Eyes wide, Derf finally took his foot off the pedal...but it miiiiiiiight have been a good minute or two too late because the car made a really weird sort of almost gargling sound. And then the engine sorta just...fizzled out and then stopped all together.

What. No, really. WHAT?

Had he just...broken...his car?

Yes, yes you had, little Hufflepuff. Transmission bloooooooown out.

Hopping out - because turning the key now didn't do anything - and clutching the key to his sweaty little hand...the fifth year approached the bonnet and, yeaaaaaaaaaah...that did NOT smell good either. Um...

Tugging on the sleeves of his robes to protect his hands, Derf popped it open and was greeted with a hot POOF of smoke to the face.

When it was his turn, he approached the vehicle hesitantly and took a seat behind the steering wheel.

Halfway, all the way around? What if he broke it?! Taking a deep breath, he turned the key slightly, his eyes widening when something that sounded like the engine roared to life.


Oh. Oh. Now how would he get it to move?


...


This was nerve-wracking.


Maybe the pedals! Though there were so many things all around him that he was sure it wouldn't work that easily. Struggling to stretch his short leg forward, he pressed the first pedal from the left, but nothing happened. He pressed the middle one, and still nothing happened. But when he pressed the last one, he couldn't help but yelp in surprise when the car GROWLED at him. What had he done?!


... but it still didn't move. His eyes then landed on the thing to his right that looked like a controller. Maybe he had to do something with that, as well, but he was too flustered and wasting time. So, with flushed cheeks and eyes cast down to avoid any and all contact with anyone else, he turned off the engine, scurried out of the car and walked towards professor Stewart, dread settled in his stomach. "I'm sorry, professor, but I can't do it by myself." He was even willing to overcome his immense fear of actually driving that thing.


Kaysha really thought that Daehyun was going to give this a go and she watched him like a hawk with a smile. But then he couldn't and wouldn't continue. Her smile faltered somewhat but her heart went out to him. The smile turned to a motherly one. "That's alright. You tried. Maybe one day we can try this? I can always save on of the cars. The same goes for you, Mr. Carden.''

SPOILER!!: Derf! *casually LOLs*

Goodness! Who in the world was revving their engines that much? A quick look told her it was a certain creature lover. Forcing down a giggle, the woman hurried over to him . "Perhaps you are still stuck in 'park'?'' was the suggestion as she peered over to the control. "Remember you ought to set the car in 'drive'.'' But then... that wasn't the problem. Something smelled funny. "Mr. Ashburry- Hawthorne? I don't think that would be a great-'' Too late! Kaysha hurriedly backed away as smoke enveloped the bonnet of the car. "Are you alright? Can you get away from the smoke quickly?'' she asked, fanning her arms like a maniac as she tried to clear the smoke. The last thing she needed was for Derf to inhale too much of that smoke.

SPOILER!!: Jessa!

Well then.


"I don't want to complete the activity." She said, her tone even despite the way her own eyes moved back to the maze with some level of apprehension. "Even if there is time. I'd rather stand out here with you and wait for the others." The walls were too tall, there were likely too many dead ends, one way exits--only one real exit--and she couldn't very well drive the car atop the wall as she'd sorta done in Astronomy that one time where she walked the wall to exit the maze.


Closed spaces were hard for her, even on her best days. There was no way she'd be able to enter the maze and get anywhere of remarkable distance before the walls began closing in and her mind began wandering off.


No. Absolutely not. She was definitely staying out here.


To make that plain, Jessa moved to stand just beside the woman before turning her gaze to the exit. She was now in position to watch and wait for the racers to exit. This was how she would do the activity.


Kaysha frowned, not because of Jessa's determination to not complete the activity. Jessa had never been one to give her a difficult time during lessons. That left the possibility she was afraid of something. Possibly the cars? Farm animals? The maze? "Very well. You're usually a hard worker when it comes to my lessons, Ms Cambridge. I'm not sure what's wrong but you can stay to watch the results with us.'' Obviously, since Jessa had already taken up stance beside her.

SPOILER!!: Assistant Professor!
Worried about his safety... worried that he wouldn't know how to drive the car... worried that he'd get lost in the maze... worried about embarrassing himself. He worried a lot and he worried about everything.


"Writing down the names and times is fine by me, Professor!" Max smiled gratefully and then kneeled down to rummage through his bag for some parchment and a self-inking quill.


He glanced up to see Emmalyn exiting the maze, and then Hattie...





"On it, Miss!"
Still kneeling, he jotted the names and times down, taking extra care to make it neat enough for Professor Stewart to read. This was waaaaaay better than going in that maze.









There. Perfect!
[/QUOTE]


Kay peered at the notes Max was making and was immensely pleased that he was doing a great job. "Well done so far,'' she complimented him.

SPOILER!!: Maddie!

She'd really gotten the hang of it now, and outside of the obstacles, she was actually driving pretty good.


She turned left after passing the horse, which was a good thing seeing as she'd have met with another obstacle had she gone the other way. There was a puddle up ahead, and all thanks to her somewhat experience in driving, she was able to slow down and coast through it. It made little splashes as she moved over it, but it was nowhere near the kind of splash that had drenched her before. This was awesome!


It was pretty smooth sailing at this point, seeing as there didn't seem to be any big decisions as to which way to turn. Maddie was steering along quite nicely, until a sudden water puddle appeared out of nowhere. Well, it probably didn't just appear all of the sudden, but that's what it seemed like to her. "WHOOOOOOOOAAAA!" she said, as her wheels hit the puddle too fast, and she started to spin. "HELP MEEEEEEEEE!!!!"


Maddie's car did two complete spins in the road, and unbeknownst to her at first, it circled its way across the finish line, where Maddie ended up hitting the brakes and causing it to come to a stop. Her eyes were wide open, and she was a little pale from the shock, but she was doing fine. "I'm...done...," she said, slightly out of breath.


Kay's attention darted to the maze. Was that someone who needed her help? Goodness! What could have possibly happened? Oh... that's what happened. One spinning piece of machinery being driven by Maddie Kemp. "Are you alright? The world's not spinning for you, is it?'' Best take a bit of a rest of this was the case. "Ms Kemp's time is ten minutes, fifty eight seconds.''


SPOILER!!: I'm Batman!

How had Professor Stewart found a mundane horse to use in this maze? He thought that the only horses they had around here were the flying ones? Though, it did bring to mind a song that would be stuck there the rest of the day now. Wild Horses.


Only, this one was nothing like a wild horse, instead taking its sweet time crossing the road. Grr. Stupid horse.


*HONK*


Well, that worked. The startled horse ran off to be someone else's problem, allowing Ronan to follow the road to yet another turning decision. He chose to go left again, guiding the car around yet another corner and eventually to yet another turning decision. Unlike the others, however, it was pretty clear which way to go here, as he was looking straight ahead at a clear dead end. He went right and guided the car around a few more corners and through a few more water-filled potholes (using the windscreen wipers after each, of course) before pulling up to the finish line to find that he wasn't the first one done. Huh? The others must have been going like 100mph or something.


Anyway, he pulled the car back around to the start and parked it in a spot, shut off the engine, and unbuckled his seatbelt before hopping out and shutting the door. "At least I know I'll probably pass my driver's test," he remarked with a genuine smile as he walked over to where Professor Stewart and some others were gathered. Really, it was a relief.


It was no surprise to see Ronan cross the line successfully as well. Kay suspected he had had lots of driving experience. "I have no doubt you will,'' she told the seventh year with a grin of her own. "Be sure to let me know that you've gotten your license.''

And the time? "Nine minutes, forth six seconds.''

SPOILER!!: Skylar! The horse part was just hilarious for me xD

Car in park and she was done. Could she just sit in here awhile and hope her time wasn't too terrible compared to everyone else's??


There came Skylar with a time of eleven minutes, thirty-two seconds. It wasn't a bad time in Kay's opinion. Oh dear! Skylar had forgotten to park the car for a moment there it seemed. She had it covered now, yes? "Are you alright, Ms. Diggory?''

SPOILER!!: Queen Chloe! XD

Chloe's exit made Kay grin. This fifth year was certainly something even if her hair was dotted with leaves and there was clucking emitting from the car. Er, had she snagged some of the creatures? "Yes, you did!'' Not with a bad timing too!

* * * * * * *



The last car exited five minutes before the class was to be over. Talk about perfect timing. "Thank you, everyone! Thank you for participating in whatever way you did. I think I will be leaving this maze and the cars a few more days for those of you who would like to use them again.'' And for those who wanted to use it for the first time, of course.

"Ms. Walsh took the least time to complete the maze followed by Ms. Kettleburn and Prefect Paton! Excellently done, young ladies. I have here an assortment of sweets from the muggle world. Cadbury chocolates, caramel wafers, toffees... enjoy!'' Three small bags were produced for them; one for each.

Now Kay beamed at everyone. "I rather enjoyed that lesson and you all helped put me in a great mood so thank you for that.'' This was why she had returned to teaching; it's what she loved to do and she loved her students. "If you'll help me by returning the cars where you began. Afterwards, you can leave to head to your next class or to clean up.'' Wink in your direction, Chloe and Derf.


OOC: Whew! That's about it, guys! Thank you so much for posting! House points will be added soon The thread will close in about 7 hours if you want to post your charries leaving. Just no more of the activity from this point.
