Default Astronomy Lesson 1 - Astro Navigation

The door to the Astronomy classroom is wide open and as you enter you see that the room is nicely lit and properly warmed for a clear, cold December midnight. It seems that perhaps Professor Kennedy has given up trying to keep students awake in his class?

The desks were all arranged neatly in their usual tidy rows. Nothing seems unusual or out of place this lesson, no mysterious doors or anything hiding on the Professors desk. The telescopes are in their usual place and everything seems right.

Or is it?

For as you look around you notice that the Professor is nowhere in sight, and the only sign of his presence is his favorite cup, the white one with the green flowers on it, sitting on his desk, filled to the brim with liquid that has steam rising delicately to the ceiling.

Come on in and be seated, hopefully the Professor will be back soon and class will start?


OOC: Welcome to Astronomy class! Assigned seating isn’t in place for this class, so feel free to have them sit anywhere they wish. Just remember that even though this is the first Rp’d class this is not your second class with Professor Kennedy! Come on in, say Hi and we will continue on in about 24 hours.. ish! Also please keep the chatting to a minimum! Class has started! All late comers will face IC consequences, so feel free to pretend like your Charrie was here all along.

Patrick watched as the maze came into view. What was up with these professors and mazes, seeing how you react and everything. It wasn’t like they couldn’t figure out things elsewhere or in less intimidating way. He decided now was as good of time as any. Looking up he stepped right into the maze. Looking up toward the sky he noticed no Polaris in front of him. So he walked until there was a different way to go and stopped. Looking to the sky he didn’t see Polaris to the right so that must mean it goes to the left, right?

Turning to the left he slowed his pace looking up for the star and spotting it right where it was supposed to be wondering if this maze truly wouldn’t have something pop out at them. His heart was still racing even though Kennedy had assured them nothing bad would happen.

Left or right? Right or left? He had to sigh because he had to choose now, and if he made a mistake or later changes his mind he'll have to double back. And with Zita tagging along he had to slow down by default. Changing his strategy on a dime is harder when one has to think beyond oneself.

Following right on his heels she looked up as they walked in.


"How do you even know which is the big star with all of these without the telescope?" She was looking up but wasn't giving too much effort in really finding it. "You said a spoon thing was near it?" She knew he called it the small dipper, but if she seemed totally clueless he would continue to help her and that's what she was trying to pull off.
Zita talking to him is a good way to remind him of that. "The North Star is the brightest star at the tip of the handle of the Small Dipper. I guess I'm always keeping an eye out of that scooper shaped cluster of stars and its easy to keep track of Polaris that way." he said as he pointed pretty much on the nose of the Small Dipper, but he's not sure if Zita is quite getting it. He had to stand closer to her to do that, but not tooooo close. He is self-aware ladies and gents.

He pressed his hand against the hedge, half hoping it was some kind of stage greens where it would just fall over on a push. Or maybe they can just push their way through every roadblock-- the tried and true Gryffindor technique. He probably wouldve done the latter though but again-- he has a Slytherin on-board.

"Lets go right." he finally decided as he led the way, eyeballing the North Star more than ever. They were shifting positions now and the Small Dipper's orientation in the sky was starting to shift. He found a break in the hedge a few paces down, much to his great relief, and made the turn, quickening his pace as he attempted to get themselves back on the same path earlier.

Thing is this section of the maze has lots of long, continuous hedges and they found themselves walking towards the left for quite some time before finally finding another break in the hedge-- and now find themselves with several breaks in the hedges, all of which looks to lead into more convoluted paths. "If its not endless paths its lots of confusing corners..." he murmured, slight bit of frustration edging in his voice. He looks up and sees the Small Dipper and somehow, that calms him down "Gotta keep that thing straight ahead of us just like before." And thats when he picked a path that looked to be a dead end but actually had a lot of trick corners.

Max still had an eye out for someone he might be able to follow. He couldn't help but notice that the Slytherin Captain was scanning the area and was yet to enter the maze as well but in all honesty, he'd been trying to avoid Skylar Diggory.

Maybe he could follow at a distance so that she didn't notice?

The fourth year continued to hang around near one of the entrances to the maze, still deciding the best plan of action.

A maze? Well, that was certainly better than being dropped in the woods, right? Actually, Night would have almost preferred the woods, her visual spatial difficulties made it hard to navigate a maze.

But if all she had to do was follow Polaris...the only problem was, she didn't have a telescope. She knew there was a spell for this, Point Me, but she had no idea of the wand movements, and anyway, professor Kennedy had said no wands.

So instead, she cupped her hand over her eye and tried to see as she would a telescope. She glanced at the sky and immediately located the Big Dipper. That was a good start! She scanned the sky. Then, she confidently turned right, letting the North Star guide her as her mind drifted back to Alaska.

A maze with nothing jumping out at them? The only challenge being to keep the North Star in sight? How boring.

Of course, there was the typical hesitating only oddly enough, the hesitators were older students instead of younger. Weird. And then there was Zita teaming up with Tenacious, which was odd. Was she trying to start something there? Whatever, he was just glad he had managed to avoid that particular eventual trainwreck. Anyway, into the maze he went, making sure to keep the North Star in his sights.

Ah here we go, finally a left! Kye had to wonder how much better or worse she would have been choosing a different entrance. She made her left turn, and had the option of making another left or going straight... Hmm... This was probably the make or break choice. She decided to go left, basically retracing her steps but on the other side of this hedge in the hope that there would be another option to go inward. Even though they were told that nothing would jump out at them, Kye couldn't help but feel a bit paranoid when she heard a sudden rustle nearby.

Following this new path, she was relieved to see an opening on her right, leading her deeper toward the center. She didn't expect to be the one who got to the center first, but at least now there was a sliver of hope! The North Star seemed to be just a little bit brighter over here...

Once Scarlett was sure she had the whole process of locating the North Star down, she knew it was time to get going in this maze. Mazes always gave her a bit of apprehension - hello, anyone remember the Triwizard Tournament? - but this one seemed safe enough. She stepped in to the maze, and as soon as she got in, she stopped to get her bearings.

Big Dipper, find those two stars, line straight from those...to Polaris. Alright, so she had to go to the left. Easy enough. She turned and began to march that way, making a few twists and turns...until she got to a dead end. Sighing, she turned and back tracked until she came to the last fork in the road. She took the other direction, then stopped and relocated Polaris to make sure she was still going the right way. Ok, good, she was.

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

All around her she watched her classmates enter the maze. Had this done anything to encourage her into taking a few steps herself? Not particularly. Her only encouragement would come from the Professor’s guarantee that if her brain decided to skip being normal at this odd hour then she still had options.

That being the case, Jessa remained standing by one of the entrances. Occasionally she peered inside, trying to see how far into the maze she could see but there was no shaking the feeling that once she got far enough inside, there was no way out except finding the centre and being transported back out. Technically one exit. Technically one exit and a whole lot of dead ends in between where anything and everything could go wrong.

When she got tired of just standing there and waiting for the man’s response, the Ravenclaw Prefect took a seat, legs crossed on the floor. It seemed she’d be there for a while and that was fine by her.

Of course, with the hedges so high, it made it all but impossible to see the night sky above let alone the one star she was meant to be tracking but that would surely be remedied soon enough.

If she was being entirely honest, she was hoping for permission to climb rather than blast. One could probably see the entire maze from the top of its hedges. She’d still follow along the pathways and turn around if the maze inside hit a dead end (despite being able to simply step over it) so it wouldn’t even really be cheating.

Jessa glanced up at the hedges again, considering the climb. Bet it wouldn’t even be that hard a climb and with most everyone now inside, would anyone even notice her getting that special permission?

Maybe. They were all meant to be looking up anyway.

Kalen nearly rolled his eyes at Zita wanting to go in with the head boy, of course he didn’t say no partners but he implied it, and if Ace and her were the first one out the prize would go to the head boy..

Maybe he might get extra for having to put up with her..

Merlin..

And then there was Miss Cambridge..who had seemed to forgotten that he was a professor.

Eh hem.

Blast his maze! No way! It had taken him a few days to put this all together, he didn’t want her blasting through it! Did they know how hard it was to orient a maze so that the North Star would lead them out?

“You may climb Miss Cambridge, but please no blowing holes in my maze okay?” He said as he glanced at his watch.

“Twenty minutes left!” He yelled out so people in the maze could hear him.


You have about 24 hours left! Good luck!

Since no one was crying out for assistance through the maze, Skylar figured she might as well get started. She had catchup to do as far as others who were already making their way through the maze, and she wasn't going to win anything just standing outside. Although she wondered how much convincing it would take to get the older Kennedy to give her a prize anyway. She did capture a glimpse of Maxton Carden near one of the entrances, but while she was still set to get him on a broom before she graduated, she didn't think this was the appropriate place for persuasion. And he hadn't asked for help, so into the maze she went. He could follow, if he wanted.

It was surprisingly light inside the maze, despite the tall hedges which she guessed was the fact that it had no ceiling. Okay, find Dubhe and Merak, check. And there was Polaris, which meant, she would detour to the left and straight ahead ... still seeing the star... Wait, was she meant to watch the star AND where she was walking? Because if she was being honest, trusting on the star to guide her was kind of weird. Which was why, as the Slytherin Captain paced her way through the maze, she walked directly into one of the hedge walls.

Oops.

At least it was soft, but it did take her attention of the north star a moment, as she adjusted where she was walking. Just keep walking, right? Except when not looking at the stars, why did it feel like she was going in circles?

Glance up at the sky and a brief frown as she stared to scrutinize for that north star again.

When the Slytherin Captain entered the maze, Max was quick to get in there straight after her. He didn't want her to get too far ahead in case he lost her! But then again, he didn't want to get too close in case she realised she was being followed. The last thing he needed was her cornering him alone in a maze with 7 foot tall hedges and lecturing him about Quidditch and letting his family name down.

He just didn't want to have to go through this creepy maze by himself. He followed about ten paces behind, hopefully that would be enough...

He had to come to a stop and try to stifle a laugh when he caught her walking straight into a hedge though. That was funny. She obviously wasn't as good on her feet as she was on a broomstick!

Max glanced upwards at the sky, trying to locate the north star to make sure Skylar was leading them in the right direction.

Emmalyn was still sitting at a dead end in the maze, just looking up at the sky. It was quite peaceful where she was and it beat getting lost again and again. The only trouble was that she had no idea how to get back out.


“Hello?” She called out again. “Can anyone show me the way out?” She hoped someone would answer her call. She had no desire at this point to find the goal or win a prize, she only wanted to get back out. Either way, she figured the professor would end the class at some point and start looking for those that hadn’t made it out. Surely she wouldn’t be stuck in the maze all night. Right?

It was the stifled laughter that maybe gave way to someone having seen her little glitch, but no, Skylar didn't care to find out who saw it. Or who might have been following her, because if they wanted to follow her, that was fine, it only meant she would reach the cup first and win the prize. And yes, she would have far preferred flying to walking, as if her flying in at the opening feast wasn't an indication of that. If she could get by with flying to all her classes, it would be such a load taken off of her.

But she had to remain focused, so finding that north star again, she kept a careful watch on it, this time, focusing on where she was walking as well. Periodic glancing up and ahead was multitasking at its finest.

She did here Kennedy's shoutings of a twenty minute warning, but also, did he just give Jessa permission to climb?! Wouldn't climbing be cheating though? Or well, it might actually make things more difficult, depending on how sturdy the hedges were, she doubted one could safely walk on the hedges and look inside to see where they were meant to go... Now, a broom on the other hand.

She also heard a shouting of a young voice asking about showing the way out and Skylar was tempted to find the voice, but hedges in the way. So Kennedy would help those lost, right? He wouldn't let anyone get left behind, because professor duties and all?

Since the voice was too far away, Skylar trudged onward with her following the star. She was making progress, wasn't she? At least it didn't feel like she was going in circles and it seemed like the North Star was telling her to go this way...

He was close and pointing up so the blonde of course moved closer and stayed right by his side. Looking up of course she saw what he was talking about, "Oh you are so brilliant and amazing. You just know everything don't you." Turning right she followed him down the path more until he seemed to want to see what the hedges were made of.
"I'd be careful if I were you doing that. You never know around here, these things could be harmless or they could pull you right in and trap you." She moved closer to the hedges to examine them and see if she could figure them out.

Turning to continue walking so not to lose him she looked up again.
" So if it falls behind me then I'm going the wrong way?"
This was good to know and soon Zita was staring up at the sky moving in a circle to see if it would go behind her. Stopping and giggling as she felt a little dizzy she moved fowards and watched the sky, but not paying attention to her surroundings she walked straight into Ace. "Oh.. sorry" her eyes would be straight a head more now.

"I think we should move that way." She pointed towards their left.

Dont touch the hedges.That may have been a warning a bit too late, as Gryffindor-Slytherin partnerships seems to go, for better or worse. It is indeed a good thing that no tentacle-y plant was hiding behind those waiting to make dinner out of them.

"Yeahh if its behind you it means you're heading south. Thats kinda the trick if you want to go certain directions. Its why the North Star is universally used in the Northern Hemisphere. Its the one constant navigators can use to determine where they are and where they're headed--" Ooof. Well usually. Cant do nothing about those not looking where they're going lolz.

These trick corners are lowkey making him anxious, because although the North Star is clear in the sky it doesnt do much for figuring out which tight, confusing corners are a good path or leading them in circles until its too late.

He turned as Zita says they should take a left turn. "Alright...." he agreed and followed the path.... then found themselves back in the area with the multiple breaks in the hedge, back where they started in this layer of the maze "Well... if we want to just go home we're half-way there." he chuckled. Tempting, since the circuitous maze was starting to give him some temporary claustrophobia. But as he looked back into the maze there was a tug at his gut to tell him to just give it one more try.

"Let's retrace our steps before we forget..." he ushered Zita to follow him back into the convoluted maze. They had taken a left, so now they're just heading right-- and then suddenly he paused-- there was a pathway they missed when they were stuck earlier, one of those trick corners where it appeared like a dead end but actually wasnt from this angle. "Lets go this way!" Suddenly he felt excited, because progress! And the North Star confirmed they were heading in the right direction.

And suddenly there it was-- a clearing. With a CUP. "There it is!" he pointed, then looked up out of reflex as he checked with Polaris.

She had no desire at this point to find the goal or win a prize, she only wanted to get back out. Either way, she figured the professor would end the class at some point and start looking for those that hadn’t made it out. Surely she wouldn’t be stuck in the maze all night. Right?
Oh cool, she could climb the maze! It helped knowing she could. There was something very freeing about knowing you had options and usually it made all the difference for her. Closed spaces weren't quite so daunting when she knew for a fact there were several ways out. In this case the entire maze was her exit should she decide to climb and that was good enough for her.

Jessa jumped to her feet with a grin. "I won't make a single dent, Sir!" She saluted the man, oblivious to any qualms he may have had about the title she used to address him. Afterall, he'd been the one to tell her he wasn't fussed and she could continue using whichever.

But this was digressing and there was only twenty minutes left.

The Ravenclaw looked to the various entrances before choosing one near the middle. No telling if this one would take her far but she suspected all she had to do was find polaris and work her way from there.

A couple steps into the maze and she was already taking deeper breaths. For the most part, she was still calm, reminding herself that at any minute she could simply climb the hedges and be done with the confinement. Right now, she'd remain walking. The exit was just behind her--she could see it if she turned around, making this not at all as big a deal as say...the cave Professor Wayland had wanted them going into.

The problem came when she turned the second corner and was suddenly looking at walls in all directions. Merlin's beard. The Ravenclaw stopped a moment, trying to shake the sudden feeling of being disoriented. Were they getting closer? Which direction had she come in? All thoughts about polaris were thrown out the door in the wake of the more dire circumstance. There was just no convincing her that these walls weren't caving in on her. It was another two steps before the Prefect simply cast a feather light charm on herself then pulled herself up the hedges. The relief at having her surroundings suddenly much clearer was undeniable and she took another moment to properly catch her breath. It was in that moment that she heard a faint cry for help.

Curious, Jessa walked along the top of the hedge trying to seek out the source. Just over another hedge, she peered down. Oh! The little Hufflepuff. "You could always climb up here with me. We'll find the way out together, if you'd like." The Prefect offered, not at all motivated to get back on the ground.

And yes, she would have far preferred flying to walking, as if her flying in at the opening feast wasn't an indication of that. If she could get by with flying to all her classes, it would be such a load taken off of her.

But she had to remain focused, so finding that north star again, she kept a careful watch on it, this time, focusing on where she was walking as well. Periodic glancing up and ahead was multitasking at its finest.

She did here Kennedy's shoutings of a twenty minute warning, but also, did he just give Jessa permission to climb?! Wouldn't climbing be cheating though? Or well, it might actually make things more difficult, depending on how sturdy the hedges were, she doubted one could safely walk on the hedges and look inside to see where they were meant to go... Now, a broom on the other hand.

She also heard a shouting of a young voice asking about showing the way out and Skylar was tempted to find the voice, but hedges in the way. So Kennedy would help those lost, right? He wouldn't let anyone get left behind, because professor duties and all?

Since the voice was too far away, Skylar trudged onward with her following the star. She was making progress, wasn't she? At least it didn't feel like she was going in circles and it seemed like the North Star was telling her to go this way...

Max was still following but keeping a safe distance from Skylar. The Slytherin Captain might've been pushy but he felt safer knowing that he wasn't lost in a maze by himself. The Professor's at this school really did like to set some wacky tasks - he'd rather just read from the textbook.

He made sure to also try and keep an eye on Polaris and it seemed like Captain Diggory was moving in the right direction for the most part...

It also kinda felt like she was leading them in circles.

Maybe she realised she was being followed and she was doing it on purpose to try and shake him off.

Right...left...right...right again...another left...this lesson was honestly completely boring for Night. She was already good at navigating with the stars; that was Muggle stuff, and she learned how to do it her first summer at camp. She could keep her mind occupied on other things, like her beautiful Christmas outfit for Muggle Studies, or how much she wanted to tour Alaska. She was fine just as long as she checked for the Big Dipper at every fork.

Night didn't feel like stopping, even though she knew others needed help. She would rather get it over with, so she could spend the rest of the night in the Muggle Studies room until they kicked her out. Soon enough, she reached the middle.

The minute she was out of the maze, she brought up the question that had been on her mind all class:

"Professor, is there any difference between Muggle and wizard astronomy? If so, what is it?" She refrained from adding that she'd learned these things ages ago.

We'll find the way out together, if you'd like." The Prefect offered, not at all motivated to get back on the ground.
A voice from above her head caught her attention. Looking up she saw Jessa standing on top of the hedges. "What a fantastic idea!" she said as she got to her feet. That was something she could do...well, she could at least try.

Emmalyn grabbed hold of the side of the hedges, being careful not to break any branches, and slowly climbed up the side. Her height was not working to her advantage, but she eventually reached the top, swung her leg over, and climbed up next to Jessa.

Thankful to not be afraid of heights, Emmalyn still made sure to keep in the exact center of the hedge. A fall was not in her plans for the day. "Thanks so much. I'll follow you. I have no idea which star we are supposed to be locating." The maze looked just as confusing from her new vantage point and she could hear the rest of the class roaming around below.

With a thankful grin on her face and renewed spirits, Emmalyn set off after Jessa. The maze task might not turn out to be so bad after all and it was quite nice not being trapped between the hedges anymore.

"Yeahh if its behind you it means you're heading south. Thats kinda the trick if you want to go certain directions. Its why the North Star is universally used in the Northern Hemisphere. Its the one constant navigators can use to determine where they are and where they're headed--" Ooof. Well usually. Cant do nothing about those not looking where they're going lolz.

These trick corners are lowkey making him anxious, because although the North Star is clear in the sky it doesnt do much for figuring out which tight, confusing corners are a good path or leading them in circles until its too late.

He turned as Zita says they should take a left turn. "Alright...." he agreed and followed the path.... then found themselves back in the area with the multiple breaks in the hedge, back where they started in this layer of the maze "Well... if we want to just go home we're half-way there." he chuckled. Tempting, since the circuitous maze was starting to give him some temporary claustrophobia. But as he looked back into the maze there was a tug at his gut to tell him to just give it one more try.

"Let's retrace our steps before we forget..." he ushered Zita to follow him back into the convoluted maze. They had taken a left, so now they're just heading right-- and then suddenly he paused-- there was a pathway they missed when they were stuck earlier, one of those trick corners where it appeared like a dead end but actually wasnt from this angle. "Lets go this way!" Suddenly he felt excited, because progress! And the North Star confirmed they were heading in the right direction.

And suddenly there it was-- a clearing. With a CUP. "There it is!" he pointed, then looked up out of reflex as he checked with Polaris. The star shone brightly above it like some heraldic sign of a prophesied birth."This better lead us back out and not in some other place...." like a graveyard. He took Zita's hand and held his palm against the surface of the cup. Bring them home!
Kalen smiled a bit as he saw the first few students arrive back in front of him, ahh the Head boy and Zita. “Congratulations Mr.Salander on being the first one back here, you get ten points.” He said as he turned his green eyes towards Zita, “Next time, I would appreciate if you do the lesson on your own and not tag along with someone who does your work for you.” He said softly as he turned his eyes to another student who had emerged from the Maze as well.

He inwardly sighed at her question and he looked down for a moment in thought. “That is an excellent question, one I don’t have time to answer right now.” He said as he glanced at his watch.

“All right everyone! Class is over!” He said as he pointed his wand at the maze and carefully started to lower the height of the hedges. He could see a few students on top of them so he made sure to lower them very slowly. Once they were about two feet high he stopped and lowered his wand.

“Class is over!” He repeated as he smiled at everyone he could now see in the maze. “Come on back!” He said as he leaned back on his desk a bit and waited for everyone to come out.


OOC: Class is over! Thanks everyone for coming! I’ll be locking the thread in about 24 hours!

She walked for awhile until she realized she was the reason they had gone the wrong way. Well, this wasn't what she wanted to do. Honestly, she was glad she paired up with him, she would have never been able to figure it out on her own.

As they made it to the cup she got a little nervous and was grateful for his hand. Squeezing it she closed her eyes as she reached for it with him. She didn't open them until she heard the professor's voice. She opened her eyes and smiled as he congratulated Ace, he so deserved it, but then frowned as he spoke to her.

"Excuse me Professor, but I didn't realize we weren't allowed to work with partners and I don't know if you could see in there or not, but clearly not if you didn't notice he was helping me learn and I took us the wrong way since I was trying. I really do not appreciate you throwing accusations out that I would just cheat." She flipped her hair and went for her bag, how rude of him.

Default Question for Professor Kennedy

Night did a little happy dance. She had been one of the first to make it back from the maze, and she relished that. She was disappointed that the professor hadn't answered her question, though, so she asked it again.

"Professor, what exactly is the difference between Muggle and magical astronomy, if there is one? I've already learned a lot of this stuff in the Muggle world, although I know that not every Muggleborn student has."

They were back home? They were back home YAAASS!

That was the biggest reward to him really, because those low key anxiety and claustrophobia attacks-- he was NOT expecting those about himself. "Thanks Professor K!!" he beamed brightly when the Professor said they get ten points... or he would get ten points.

Awkwardness happening.

He thought he was helping Zita out, because even he didnt know that this was supposed to be solo work. "Z did try to help and she was learning Professor...." he added feebly, trying to make it clear that he didnt think she was leeching off him even if she was. "At least she wont get lost at night, which is the best thing to come out of this yeah?" Thumbs up?

Kye could hear students voices here and there, and didn't realize how close she had actually gotten. She almost wish she didn't have to find out at this point, but nevertheless, the hedges started to shrink beside her. With full view now of her location, she realized that she was about two and a half turns away from the goal.

"Are you serious?!?!" Ughhh... she was right there! Unfortunately, the Head Boy had found his way there first and Gryffindor would be getting the prized points. Yes yes, good for you... and Zita... who was probably closer to losing Slytherin points than anything, even if she had emerged with Tenacious as Kye had gathered.

Grumbling to herself, Kye made her way back to the classroom side of all this in relatively no time at all. She didn't mind losing to someone more deserving, but she was SO CLOSE. Also, she hated losing. Ever. Even if she says otherwise. With class having ended, Kye gathered her things from the desk she had left them at, and headed toward the door.

"Thank you Professor Kennedy, have a good night," she said, trying not to show how frustrated she currently felt. Kye rummaged through her bag as she walked through the door, finding herself a piece of chocolate which she felt she deserved as a consolation prize at least.

Yes, she was really oblivious to a certain Carden boy following her, but actually could careless if he was because in case he didn't know, she had NO idea if she was even going the correct way. But she was at least making an effort and figured if she was just following the stars....

Follow the path, glance up and see Polaris was still in sight, and then .... HUH?!? Why all of a sudden were the hedges LOW?? Class is over. OH. Ooops, whirling around from her spot in the maze, she did indeed spot a certain Maxton Carden a few turns behind her. Was he?? But hey, if he trusted her enough to follow, then he should trust her enough that flying is SAFE. Actually, that was a good argument Skylar hadn't thought to use yet.

With the hedges now safely below eye level, the quidditch captain navigated her way toward where the cup had been only one turn away. Eh, she was SOOOO CLOSEEE!!! Couldn't she get an extra prize for being super duper close? Besides, she'd been unknowingly leading someone in the right direction, so that had to count for something too, right?

Oh, it seemed the head boy had won. Good for Vi in that she had someone who could easily navigate through the night sky.

"Thanks K..........Professor." She grinned at him. "Great lesson." Also, Maxton? She'd be cornering YOU later, so don't think you got off so easily, since we spotted you in the maze coincidentally a few turns behind us.
