Closer and closer they went to the tree--wait, weren't they trying to escape?? Good lord they had to get out of here, they couldn't stop and stare at this tree!!!! They had somewhere else to be!

Oh?

The group turned, now looking at the children.

"Hello there...." One tentatively said. Her name was Jackie. She had a daughter around the same age as the younger pair and hoped they would be of help.

"Leaving is what we're trying to do. We thought this was the way--"

"Jackie, look at this tree!!!" While the spell had blocked their immediate path, it did not encompass the entire tree. As a result, it took only a little bit of wandering around its circumference--looking for a way out--for the muggle to once again be captivated by the tree.

The others crowded with him, once again trying to inspect the tree.
