"Ow!" he exclaimed, before his features softened again and he was laughing. Was that the best she had? His eyes were still on her as she summoned a piranha. THAT was a genius move and it made got him grinning to hear her squeal. Karma?

Zeke would have been content to lie there a little longer, even if the earth was wet and hot and... moving? ... ew, but he didn't have to.

"Thanks," he said as he accepted Hady's hand and pushed himself up with his other. Covered in dirt, that was him.

Supposing a drink of water wouldn't be too bad, Zeke cast an eye around for something to transfigure - because he doubted Bellaire would appreciate him drinking from his wand, booooooo. Deciding to take a closer look at the piranhas, Zeke squat down near the ponds edge and waited for one to come close enough, just as Brooklyn had. Then, when the timing was right, tap tap "Vera Verto." Though apparently not.

"Vera Verto," he said again as he tapped the piranha once more. By this point he was sure it was ready to jump out the water and have at his wand, OR his face.

Sigh.

"VERA VERTO," he repeated more forcefully this time, his intent crystal clear incase his wand didn't know. This time he was more successful. The piranha was indeed a cup, and his hand quickly dove into the water to scoop it out before it sank. The only thing was... hit cup had gills. Whoops? OH WELL.

Scooping out some water, Zeke took a sip... and another... and another... and then some more. He was in fact more thirsty than he thought.

"Let's keep going, we're wasting time," he called over his shoulder, but he continued walking ahead regardless of if they were ready or not.

The deeper into the forest they got, the more difficult it was to breathe - or at least, that was his observation. The air was simply too hot and wet for his lungs to function comfortably. But a remarkable thing happened, his lungs started to adapt, or ask he thought until they stepped out into a clearing, a rickety old bridge separating them from the other side. THE OTHER SIDE. Awesome!

If he ran over it super fast, he'd make it, right?

Like, how DARE he not take her seriously?!?!? She was going to...going to.....okay, not do anything right now because of the whole piranha issue - also them being in class you know - but LATER. He was going to HAVE TO WATCH HIS BACK from now on.

The glare she sent his way clearly suggested all those things.

Stupid Gryffindor!

But for now, at least that piranha hadn't hit her in the face. And when she turned around to look for it, it was right around the time Professor Bellaire's voice could be heard. Which in turn meant that when she did find the piranha on the ground it was completely still. Not entirely sure if they HAD to take a break, Maggie bent down to the piranha and quickly tapped it with her wand three times. "Vera Verto." It wasn't cheating right?

Now she could fill it with water. With her own water though. From her wand. Because she still didn't QUITE trust that pond-water. Even if the piranhas were frozen for the time being. Putting some of that cream she'd just found in her pocket on a mosquito sting on her neck, Maggie watched Zeke....walk off.

"We're supposed to-"

Okay, actually, never mind. He was none of her concern, so Maggie just shrugged, rolled her eyes and continued applying that itch-relieving essence.

Again, stupid Gryffindor.

Zeke stood, processing. But he didn't want to take a break! He wanted to DO things... but preferably with charms, those were better, MUCH better.

Deciding he couldn't very well run and jump a broken bridge in the dark, Zeke sat himself down and scratched at his itches. But apparently they had essence of Murtlap... how?

...

Zeke patted his pockets down, and sure enough, there was. He applied some to the bites on his neck, but quickly grew bored. He REALLLLYYY wanted to use lumos so he could see and do things, but considering the Professor had said something about constant vigilance he didn't want to draw attention to himself. Nope.

Instead, he felt around on the ground around him, searching for a rock... because he REALLY wanted a dragon companion.

Other then the pond, trees, and dirt it wasn't all that much for the moment.

And then was the announcement about it being 'Break Time'? Seriously?

With a slight look of confusion on her face and a glance over her shoulder to see if the others were coming as well she wandered after Zeke as the sky suddenly grew very very dark making it near impossible to keep going without some light. Not to fussed about the itchy bug bites Hady lowered herself down to sit on the ground beneath a tree. Everything being frozen meant they were safe for the moment but that didn't keep the third year from continuously looking around her as the minutes ticked by. At least it was cool out for the moment and stars were quite nice. To bad she wasn't able to just lay there looking at the stars for a bit.

"EW!" She threw it away from her (luckily Zeke wasn't anywhere close or else it would have probably been directed at him) and shuddered slightly. It seemed like she hadn't previously seen her only half-successful attempt at transfiguring the piranha. Ugh.

But anyway....moving on.

Briefly glancing around and giving Brooklyn a look that meant that she better follow her, Maggie took a few steps in the direction both Zeke and Hady (of course) had disappeared off to. The latter she ran into first. "We need to keep going!" CHOP CHOP! Without checking to see if the other girl was following her ~~order~~ advice, Maggie kept walking until she...saw a bridge. And Zeke.

"It's a bridge." And Zeke.

As the light had dimmed, Brooklyn’s forward progress had slowed as well. A break had never occurred to her. The only thing she cared about was getting out of the jungle. Eventually they had to get out, right? It wasn’t as if this was a real jungle, even if the itchy bug bites and sweat made it all seem real. The pause wasn’t ignored, though, even though she’d kept moving forward until she’d joined the rest of the group, dabing the murtlap essence on a bit on the side of her neck as she’d walked. Moving was good, considering who knew what was in there with them. Professor Bellaire’s break might not have frozen everything, and she wasn’t planning on getting lost and attacked. There would be no attacking her any time soon, and besides, it was slightly cooler until the break time was over.

She’d rejoined Hady, Zeke and Maggie in time to hear Maggie’s comment. At which point she wished that it was still dark as she’d rolled her eyes. The more important part was that they were in a clearing. A clearing with the need for a bridge in order to keep moving forward. A bridge that…she’d peered forward intently.

“D’you think we could walk across just the ropes?.” she asked. Not that she knew if she had tightrope walking skills, and she didn’t particularly want to test her arm strength and pull herself across. Although, she remembered the note in her pocket too. And dragons, which seemed like that was what Zeke was thinking too. Pulling the parchment out, she glanced at it. The dragon spell was definitely there, but so were a ton of others. “Or are we supposed to duplicate the boards and fix the bridge?” How many bridges were there? Maybe they could just follow the clearing around and find a different one that was already fixed. She knew there were others ahead of them after all.
