Avalon had never been so happy to see Professor Williamson. He was a reminder of some degree of normalcy, and that comforted her. At first, she had been incredibly worried that all of the professors were polyjuiced like Trent. But she reminded herself that they probably would have revealed themselves by now, so she was fairly confident that Williamson was the real Williamson.

She greeted him with an exasperated smile as she approached the hedges, unable to muster her usual energy in light of current circumstances. "Hello, professor." A maze? It sounded like a fun challenge, though a part of her wondered what horrid surprise would be waiting for them inside. Perhaps some awful new member of the alliance.
