He furrowed his brows in consternation "The heck kinda riddle is this.... Pick me up? And where's the keyhole?" he grumbled as he looked around the box. No keyhole. Not a crack in sight. He reached into the rune bag, rummaging through it for his now favorite piece "There you are!" he said as he brought out the Jera rune and gave it a lucky rub "Work your magic babeh!" he beamed as he dropped the rune onto the box with a flourish, then looked at it expectantly. Maybe that door is in the box? Letsseee....
O___________o
Could BAD GREEN not read? Pick me up.... meant pick me up. The tree twitched at all sorts of odd angles, as it hoooooped the boy would pick the box up and just.... go away.
But noooOOoo. The boy had other things in mind, he did.
So, since the tree was getting tired of hoping the boy would do something right, one of the branches reached out, grabbed him (not monstrously or anything, the branch was pretty gentle to ensure it didn't hurt the boy.... though of course, that didn't mean the tree didn't like the thought that the sudden movement might give BAD GREEN a scaaaaaare. BAD GREEN hadn't been too good to it, no he hadn't.) and rose into the air. It set him down outside the maze, in a classroom-of-sorts - one that now contained quite a number of students.
Cushions, a desk and a chalkboard had been placed here. The desk bore several boxes of chocolate.
The chalkboard read:
Congratulations! You are now outside the maze! Please make yourself comfortable as you wait for your classmates to join you. You may help yourself to some chocolate.
The branch disappeared after gently setting the boy down, only to return a moment later. This time, it set the box the boy
hadn't picked up, next to him before disappearing for good.
No more STRANGE!BAD GREEEEEEEEEEEEN.
w00tw00t! HAPPY!WILLOW!

"Hmm. What now?" she began to look around for clues as to what in the world she was meant to do!
YELLOOOWWW kid. Branches gentlyyyy lowered themselves in front of her, a keyhole of a door visible through them, this keyhole being the same size and shape as all the runes in the rune bags provided to the students - any of the runes could fit into it and serve as a key.
Letters began to appear on the floor...
My gemstone can be golden-green.
Jera or Dagaz? The tree waaaaaaaaited for YELLOW KID to choose one of the two runes.

CORRECT! The branches rose into the air and disappeared out of sight, allowing light to stream into the roofless enclosure once more.
The door swung open so that NICE RED could go throuugghh.

If this was the end, that is.
GOODBYE NOW!HAPPY GREEN! One of the branches waaaaaaved to him, as he reached for the box.
The moment the Slytherin picked the box, he was quietly transported outside the maze and into a classroom of sorts - a classroom of sorts that had clearly begun to fill up, given the students that had been transported here in the past fifteen minutes. Cushions, a desk and a chalkboard had been placed here. The desk bore several boxes of chocolate.
The chalkboard read:
Congratulations! You are now outside the maze! Please make yourself comfortable as you wait for your classmates to join you. You may help yourself to some chocolate.
The box the boy had picked up, rested next to him.

Sure that his would be the last door, Patroclus studied the words carefully......he was sure he knew the answer. Markovic had told them that one represented the day, the other a year, and recalling on that knowledge Patroclus pressed the Jera Rune through the branches and into the final key hole!
WHEEEEEEEEEEEE! NICE!RED had fitted in the correct ruuune! The branches rose into the air to unblock the door that had now swung open. Behind it could be seen a long, well-lit tunnel that had a big box located at the end. The said box read...
Pick me up. Quote:

Laaaaast door for NICE GREEN! Branches gently came down, a keyhole peeking out through them. The letters on the floor read...
Twenty-four.
Jera or Dagaz? The treee waaaaiiited!

Ahh, yes Jera.
As she found the answer she smiled up to the tree and put the Jerarune in.
After all this tree wasnt so bad, it actually seemed nice. Stupid people that told her to be uber afraid.
Aaaaaaaaahhhhh! PRETTY GREEN had fitted in the correct ruuune! The branches rose into the air to unblock the door that had now swung open. Behind it could be seen a long, well-lit tunnel that had a big box located at the end. The said box read...

The Blonde blinked a few times but shrugged it off. It was a gentle pet and she actually appreciated it seeing as that was one bloomin' scary tree in her opinion. But its branches had lifted and Trixie was free to move on into the enclosure again.
Right. Which way now? Left? That sounded good. The blonde continued down a left path.
Second laaaaaast door for PRETTY GREEN! Branches gently came down, a keyhole peeking out through them. The letters on the floor read...

Jera or Dagaz? The treee waaaaited!

But which one was it? His hand hesitated, clenched around one Dagaz and one Jera. Reverse? He thought neither of the runes had a reverse... but he knew Dagaz at least meant dawn... so the opposite of that had to be Jera....
Holding his breath, Fletcher bit his lip and inserted one of his Jera runes into the keyhole. Would it work?!
Incorrect ruuune. The riddle on the floor faded, only to be replaced by a newwww riddle.
My gemstone is red.
