Did someone say danger? Maxie felt like this lesson was cutting right through the heart of him. He was afraid of a lot of things, you see. Most of them had to do with other people and judgement but there was plenty of the mundane fear too.
The majority of those around him had jumped in with ideas ranging from insane - to terrifying - to very real. Being eaten was just about the worst way Maxie thought you could go, right next to dying of starvation and thirst. Prolonged and pain, or short and very painful. Maxie shuddered, but kept his eyes and attention fixed on the headmaster. Truth be told, he was keenly interested.
Oh... Hinkypunks. He didn't know much about Hinkypunks other than they were dangerous and obviously lived in dark places. Maxie followed along wordlessly, carefully measuring each step least he - indeed - fall and break his neck. "Um.." He'd taken out his grandfathers wand despite the Headmaster's word, but only to have something to hold onto. He knew very few spells and none of them would be enough to keep him safe if anything decided to jump out and attack him.
"Well..." If he were following several lights, that must have meant one was the true light and the others, uh, weren't. So, how did you figure that out? "W-well.. I'd probably..." Maxie began, blinking in the darkened classroom. "I'd p-probably try to l-leave something behind.. s-so, someone c-could find my trail or I'd know i-if i accidentally doubled back." Or he'd just sit there and not doing anything- actually that sounded like a much better answer, Maxie wanted a do-over.
