Forbidden Forest/Second Task

There is a buzz of excitement in the air as students gather around the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest to witness the second task. Before them is a large maze that will play host to the task. Who knows what could be lurking inside.

Gryffindor Champions

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 00:39, August 3, 2020 (UTC) When Grizel and Karina enter the maze, it closes behind them, cutting short the thundering applause of the spectating students. They’re equipped with little but their wands, the incomplete time-turner they built, and the reminder to use the red sparks charm to mark the end of their task. When the two champions turn towards the maze, they’ll realize it… doesn’t look like much of a maze. It does, if they focus hard enough, but at first glance, it’s like the maze has been enchanted to resemble the Forbidden Forest as it normally does, without the labyrinth stretching around it. They’ll see trees where there may not be any and hear noises that might not be coming from anywhere within the maze. From twigs snapping around them to shrill screams, there is little way to differentiate whether what they’re seeing is reality or not, if they don’t stare long enough and focus on what they’re seeing. In the distance, there are loud laughs familiar to both Champions. Is that… Beitris and Jaina’s laughter? Where is it coming from? The Champions don’t have time to dwell on these thoughts, because before they know it, there wind starts picking up and the maze starts closing in behind them quickly, forcing them to move forward in spite of the trees and stumps they’re mistakenly seeing through the darkness.

Template:Grizel

Karina Nordskov - Sixteen Year Old Norwegian Princess Gryffindor Prefect Send Me an Owl! - 01:31, August 3, 2020 (UTC) She'd nod. "Generally...but this is unlike any maze i have ever seen. It seems to be a maze of...memories?" She would light her own wand. "We need to stick together and we will be fine. There are no way those voices are real. Keep focused on moving forward and we will be fine."

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 01:45, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Grizel and Karina push through successfully with their joint Lumos, although it doesn't do much to lighten up the maze; only about a five-feet radius around them. It isn't helpful at all as they reach a crossroads with two different options: left or right. To them, it looks like an uprooted tree is forcing them to turn, rather than the reality of a wall blocking off the path they're on. To their left, there is little illumination, but the ground they can see seems to be covered in little red seeds. To their right, there is better illumination. About fifteen feet in, they can see some rapid movement from side to side and the loud rustling of a tree. In the distance, they hear a loud, pained scream - it sounds a lot like Jaina.

Karina Nordskov - Sixteen Year Old Norwegian Princess Gryffindor Prefect Send Me an Owl! - 01:49, August 3, 2020 (UTC) "There is no way that can be real. It has to be a distraction." Her voice wouldn't hold much conviction. "Left I think. Careful of those seeds...could be dangerous."

Template:Grizel

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 02:06, August 3, 2020 (UTC) When Grizel throws the rock, it doesn't land on the seeded path. It lands on one of the bushes making up the wall, which lights up on fire immediately upon touch. The flames lick high and wide, to the point it'll be very difficult to cross without being burned. As a response to the flames, the rest of the bushes start lighting up and the ground slowly starts turning a deeper red, like the seeds on the ground are reacting to the heat.

Template:Grizel

Karina Nordskov - Sixteen Year Old Norwegian Princess Gryffindor Prefect Send Me an Owl! - 02:16, August 3, 2020 (UTC) She'd cast flame-freezing charms on the other side of the path helping her partner. "The voice is my mother's which is why it cannot be real. There is no way they could have gotten her here for something like this nor done so against her will." It sounded like she was trying to convince herself as much as Grizel.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 02:23, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Karina's endeavors aren't successful, but Grizel does manage to make the flames harmless, providing them with the ability to push forward. Assuming they do so, they'll be able to run down the seemingly never-ending path. About thirty feet in, the bushes start changing and the ambiance turns colder and quieter, to the point you could hear a pin drop. There isn't even the noises of rustling leaves. The deeper in they go, the darker it becomes, too, until they're in the pitch black of night. Eventually, they'll run into a bushy wall. It seems they've hit a dead end.

Template:Grizel

Karina Nordskov - Sixteen Year Old Norwegian Princess Gryffindor Prefect Send Me an Owl! - 02:40, August 3, 2020 (UTC) She'd nod jabbing her wand up at the air and using a "Lumos maxima" to try to send a light up to light up the "dead end" they're in and hopefully find some break in the maze or something that might not line up right, even looking sraight up to see if they could go over somehow. She'd then use a "Dissendum" spell to try to reveal any secret paths.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 02:55, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Grizel's spell creates a gap in the wall. Karina's Lumos Maxima succeeds and reveals a dark mist several feet away from them, lurking without any real shape. However, Grizel is the first to see it, and when her eyes land on it, the mist changes, disappearing as a nearly overwhelming, debilitating, deep sense of loss and confusion overtakes her.

Template:Grizel

Karina Nordskov - Sixteen Year Old Norwegian Princess Gryffindor Prefect Send Me an Owl! - 03:42, August 3, 2020 (UTC) She'd frown as Grizel fell to her knees. Something dark and shadowy had done...something to her. Her first impression was a Dementor but she didn't feel the aura tht something like that would have given off. She'd move to Grizel's side kneeling down with her eyes scanning the darkness. Maybe a boggart? That meant she should be able to get between Grizel and the shapeshifter so she'd move in front of the other girl and raise her own wand trying to see what lay down the corridor and knowing what to expect from her own boggart should that be what appeared.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 16:58, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Although the boggart now cannot be seen by either one of the Champions, Grizel's sense of loss and confusion is augmented by her effort to try and call for Karina. To Grizel, nothing makes sense. She's overwhelmed by the fear that comes with being lost. On the other hand, when Karina peers down the path ahead, she sees nothing out of the norm for an enchanted maze (i.e. beyond trees and sets of differently-colored eyes in the darkness). She isn't able to minimize or stop the effects of Grizel's boggart because it simply isn't a physical manifestation she can see and consequently change. In the distance, they hear another tormented scream - this time, it's the voice of Beitris, trying to coax Grizel out of her stupor, as though on cue. "Grizel - Grizel, please! You know how to defeat a boggart!" The disembodied voice cries. When it pipes up again, the voice sounds desperate. "Please, please - let me go! Make it stop, it hurts!"

Template:Grizel

Karina Nordskov - Sixteen Year Old Norwegian Princess Gryffindor Prefect Send Me an Owl! - 18:56, August 3, 2020 (UTC) She'd frown. She'd used the Riddikulus spell so there must be a boggart somewhere. To beat them you had to make them change forms but you couldn't do that if you couldn't find it. She'd turn back to look at the other girl huddled on the ground. Could it already be attacking her? Maybe it was invisible? Wait...no it wasn't changing their shape...it was laughter. She'd nod to herself then try to cast a cheering charm on herself and Grizel so if nothing else laughter would come more easily to them, then she'd take a moment to gather her positive memories and happy times in her mind and let out a loud cheery laugh.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 19:16, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Grizel does a good job at using Riddikulus, and the amortal non-being is expelled, returning to its normal, almost misty form. Between Karina and Grizel, the boggart becomes confused, and with the successful cheering charms cast by Karina, it shrinks backwards, backed into a corner and providing the Champions with enough time to push forward. If they can do so, they'll find there's a lot of trees they'll need to run around. The trees look a little hazy, though, like they aren't actually there. Could it be an illusion? And, if they hear closely enough, there's a soft cry that becomes louder and louder, until they hear the unmistakeable sound of someone sobbing hysterically. Jaina. "Karina! Karina, they're coming for you! Run! They want to take you! They'll hurt you, Kar - no! Stop! Leave her alone!" Jaina's voice screams, her voice cracking as she tries to deter something from happening. Karina and Grizel will hear loud, almost disorienting footsteps running towards them. With every step, the ground shakes.

Karina Nordskov - Sixteen Year Old Norwegian Princess Gryffindor Prefect Send Me an Owl! - 19:23, August 3, 2020 (UTC) She'd frown at the trees...if they were an illusion maybe they could hide there? With the voice of her mother screaming at her to run she instinctively wanted to hide and started feeling panicked. "We...we need to hide. Something is coming." She'd frown. "Maybe something big?" She'd grab Grizel's hand so they wouldn't get separated then point her wand at herself and put up a disillusion charm on herself to hide her, then try to move into one of the illusory trees to do the best she could to stay out of the way of whatever was coming.

Template:Grizel

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 21:23, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Although the Champions think the tree is providing them with protection, it's an illusion and the tree isn't actually there. The fast-approaching Graphorn, with the Mountain Troll riding it, sees no tree - it only sees the Champions. It charges at them with a a soft hiss, its tentacles slithering upwards in a clear demonstration of its intent to devour them. It's then that the disillusion charms go into effect, forcing the Graphorn to slow as it processes the disappearance of the witches. It's a smart beast, though, and continues trudging forward as it cranes its neck, trying to spot them. The troll riding it is none the wiser - it's staring dumbly ahead, having not seen the Champions before. It is a little annoyed that the Graphorn has slowed down, though, and kicks it on the side to make it move forward while grunting.

Karina Nordskov - Sixteen Year Old Norwegian Princess Gryffindor Prefect Send Me an Owl! - 21:56, August 3, 2020 (UTC) She'd grip Grizels hand tightly and pull her to the side and out of the beast and rider's way. As they passed she'd flick her wand at the Graphorn's rear and try a non-verbal Imperturbable Charm to try to cloud their sound a bit and possibly as a barrier if the thing turned to try to get them.

Template:Grizel

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 22:28, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Karina's spell works, and the Graphorn, not realizing what has happened, thinks there's nobody around with all the muffled noises from the outside of the invisible barrier. Coupled with Grizel's muffliato, they have a good cover as they begin to creep around the beast and walk away. Eventually, they reach a crossroads, but they'll realize that blocking each of the three entrances are a different ghost. Behind them, another ghost materializes. They're quickly realize they know who the ghosts are: Godric Gryffindor straight ahead, Nearly Headless Nick to the left, Minerva McGonagall to the right, and Lily Evans behind them. They all have various expressions on their faces as they wait for the Champions to make themselves known. Godric stands tall and proud, watching them with an unreadable look on his face. Nick looks bored, Minerva looks serious, and Lily is smiling, a warm, maternal expression on her face.

Karina Nordskov - Sixteen Year Old Norwegian Princess Gryffindor Prefect Send Me an Owl! - 22:45, August 3, 2020 (UTC) She'd end the concealing charms with a wave of her wand then give each of the ghosts a courtly bow starting with Godric and ending with him. "You are the representatives of the virtues of bravery and boldness that represent our house. What wisdom or guidance do you have for us who currently represent the ideals of Gryffindor?"

Template:Grizel

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 23:09, August 3, 2020 (UTC) "You've done well," Gryffindor replies earnestly, giving her a nod. He glances at Grizel behind Karina and nods again. "Although I certainly would prefer to see my Champions taking the beasts of the maze head-on rather than hiding away," he continues dryly. "There are great dangers lying ahead in this labyrinth that you won't be able to evade. You'll need to hone your skills and know when to access what parts of your magical repertoire. Having affirmed as much, I think you both know why I'm here. I come again, presenting you with the opportunity to win another point. It may be time-consuming. Knowing this, do you wish to take advantage of such?"

Karina Nordskov - Sixteen Year Old Norwegian Princess Gryffindor Prefect Send Me an Owl! - 23:21, August 3, 2020 (UTC) She'd glance at her partner then nod. "It's in the Gryffindor spirit to be bold and daring and attempting to get the extra point would be in the spirit of Gryffindor."

Template:Grizel

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 02:12, August 4, 2020 (UTC) The first attempt Grizel makes is unsuccessful, seeing as Godric flies upwards in the nick of time. He shows up behind them, side-by-side with the other ghosts. "I never said it would be an easy endeavor, but I rest happy knowing House Gryffindor is represented by daring witches."

Karina Nordskov - Sixteen Year Old Norwegian Princess Gryffindor Prefect Send Me an Owl! - 02:21, August 4, 2020 (UTC) The other ghost couldn't just be there to watch could they? "Of course not. If it weren't a challenge it wouldn't be worth doing." She didn't think many spells could affect ghosts but she knew she read somewhere they liked lilies so she'd conjure lilies in the air both to hopefully distract the ghosts and give Grizel a little cover so they might not see the spell coming.

Template:Grizel

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 16:01, August 4, 2020 (UTC) Although the manifestation of the lilies enraptures Nick and Lily Evans' attentions, both in awe of the pretty flower, Godric Gryffindor and Minerva McGonagall are too focused on Grizel to fall prey to her attempts. Minerva moves quickly once she brandishes her wand, intercepting the spell. Minerva's transfiguration is complete; she's reduced to a hideous duck on the floor. Godric takes advantage of the distraction to shoot upwards and settle over Karina, with a displeased look. "Try again!" he encourages, "You have the spirit of Gryffindor. Channel it. Be bold. Be clever." Lily Evans glances behind Karina, at Grizel, and smiles warmly at Karina. She inches forward and, in a whisper, tells the princess: "I think your friend may need some help. Remember the pillars of Gryffindor, Karina. Live them."

Karina Nordskov - Sixteen Year Old Norwegian Princess Gryffindor Prefect Send Me an Owl! - 16:07, August 4, 2020 (UTC) She'd glance at Grizel then turn back to Lily and move in to speak quietly. "Since the start of the tournament she has been nothing but smart, clever, and a formitable ally. We wouldn't have done nearly as well at this maze without her." In the close proximity to the ghost she'd take the initiative to quickly flick her wand at her. "Ducklifors." She'd nod to Grizel and give her a quick smile. "Get Gryffindor." She'd turn towards Nick expecting a surprised or outraged moment to flick another spell at him. "Ducklifors."

Template:Grizel

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 19:07, August 4, 2020 (UTC) With their joint efforts, Karina manages to distract Nick and Lily by successfully transfiguring Lily into a pretty duck, although Nick is too appalled to intervene. He flies through Karina, looking indignant. "I cannot believe a ghost like myself is expected to engage in such childish behavior," he grumbles, put-off by the Champions. He eyes them in displeasure. "I am above this! I should've never agreed to join," he continues. In the mean time, without the support of the other ghosts, Godric unsuccessfully tries dodging the spell, which results in him being transfigured into a rather ugly, disfigured duck. He quacks pitifully. With the successful spell, Gryffindor has secured an extra point. However, it seems they've landed themselves on Nick's 'to-avoid' list, as he eyes them with contempt. "You two are giving Harry Potter a run for his money, aren't you? Very well, I suppose I can accept that, so long as neither of you try turning me into a duck again. Hideous animals, those are. A graphorn would be much more dignified!"

Karina Nordskov - Sixteen Year Old Norwegian Princess Gryffindor Prefect Send Me an Owl! - 19:09, August 4, 2020 (UTC) She'd grin and nod. "Of course Sir...we would never do such a thing." She'd turn back to Grizel. "Come on...let's go get this finished."

Hufflepuff Champions

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 00:39, August 3, 2020 (UTC) The encouraging applause from the student body slowly fades as the labyrinth closes in behind them, leaving the Champions alone and armed with nothing but their wands, the incomplete time-turner they built, and the reminder to use the red sparks charm to mark the end of their task. Upon closer inspection, the maze the Champions are now in is dark and dreary. The paths are narrow and much of the ground is covered in overgrown roots and protruding plants. Not far from them is a Venomous Tentacula, writhing and trying to grab a hold of the approaching wizards. The maze itself has a light fog, but the visibility is good enough that they can see up to maybe twenty-five feet ahead of them. In the distance, there are soft giggles and whispers that’ll seem familiar to the Champions. “Find me,” whispers a voice familiar to Jonathan - the voice of his mother, Charity. While her voice dissolves into giggles that fade into the darkness, another voice chimes in. This time, Lilith Lovecraft would recognize it, as it’s the voice of her sibling, Rudolph. “Lily, Lily! Look what I have! Come see! But - oh, be careful!” Rudy’s voice fades as well into an eerie giggle. The voices could have come from anywhere in the maze, but it begs the question - was that really them? They’ll find out eventually, but for now, the maze begins to close from behind them quickly, beckoning them to push forward even with the dangerous plants on both sides. The Venomous Tentaculas hiss and reach forward to try and bite them, to no avail.

Honestly? She was still mentally exhausted from putting the incomplete time turner together as well as the music box, she thought it took them six hours? All in all. As the maze closed, her ears perked up at the sound of Rudy calling for her, "Rudy? Did you get the Snoots, to do the thing again?" She called, knowing her sibling (and to be fair, her own) facination with the toy. "Shit..." She looked around before jumping at the sight of the Venomous Tentaculas, "I hate these things, could we? No...should we burn them?"

S

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 00:52, August 3, 2020 (UTC) "No," he said quickly, trying to move past the strange voice of his mother. The giggle... it was disconcerting, and not like her. "You sever them." He flicked his wand at the nearest vines, and slashed his wand downward, calling out firmly "DIFFINDO!"

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 00:58, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Jonathan's spell is a success, but it comes a second too late as the plant manages to shoot out a spiky, spore-like ball, aiming at Jonathan. Meanwhile, Lily receives no response from 'Rudy'. Another of the plants tries shooting a ball at her, lurching forward to try and, if all else fails, drag her into itself with the rest of the plants that make up the wall of the path.

She raised an eyebrow at no response back from Rudy, that was weird, they usually yelled back at her immediately. Then out of the corner of her eye she noticed the plant about to shoot at her, "Ew, gross...no..." She tried to wrest control of the ball hurling towards her with a simple Wingardium Leviosa, causing it to float up and away from her. Hopefully missing her completely.

S

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 01:12, August 3, 2020 (UTC) He attempted to dodge out of the way of the ball. As he did so, he aimed at the body of the plant. "Immobulous!" He hoped that by freezing the plant entirely, it wouldn't spit out more balls, and it wouldn't try to grab them and they could just move past it.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 01:36, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Jonathan is able to dodge the ball and immobilize it, whereas Lily manages to send the ball up but the plant manages to impale her on the back of her thigh. She'll feel a jolt of pain shoot up her body, but it isn't the kind of pain that would make her black out - just enough to slow them down. However, they do manage to push through just in time to avoid being swallowed up by the closing wall behind them. They reach the mouth of three different paths. To the left, the fog intensifies drastically, cutting visibility off five feet in. Through the middle, there's a deep red light and a scorching heat, but the pathway looks a lot more clear than the left, which is fogged up, and the right, whose ground is covered in slithering vines but is otherwise eerily calm and quiet.

She yelled an abundance of swears as her leg got hit by the plant, "I hate this place already..." She hissed through gritted teeth as she made her way to the crossroads along with Jonathan, holding the wound on her leg with her hand. "Which way? I think I'd take my chances with the middle? Maybe cast a quick Glacius for a gust of cold wind?" She raised an eyebrow, wondering if he had any other suggestions as she tried to see if a quick Episkey would work on her leg.

S

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 01:49, August 3, 2020 (UTC) "That could also freeze the ground solid, which given your leg may not be the best plan," he said, nodding to her wound. "But I agree, let's go with the middle."

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 01:57, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Lily's Episkey succeeds and her pain vanishes. As she and Jonathan move into the middle path, the other two will close off, ensuring they have no other way to go. About ten feet in, the air starts heating up to the point of discomfort. The red light becomes brighter and brighter the deeper in they go until, at a certain point, they realize it's because the fauna making up the walls is on fire. Upon closer inspection, the Champions will realize that starting fifteen feet away, the walls are made up of fire seed bushes that are already raging in five-feet-tall flames. And if they look around them, they'll realize there's red seeds everywhere. They're walking through a ticking fire bomb.

Her leg was fine, she looked to Jonathan, obviously annoyed before casing Glacius Totalum, hoping the gust of cold air would ease the heat and stoke the flames roaring beside them. "Might want to get your skis on..." She called as she decided, probably idiotically, to try and sprint to the end of the path.

S

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 02:07, August 3, 2020 (UTC) His eyes went wide as she just took off. There were so many flames. In addition to her Glacius spell, he also points his wand at the bushes and, picturing large jets of water bursting from his wand, incants, "Aqua Eructo!" But he waits to see if it works before heading into the inferno.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 02:19, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Lily's Glacius Totalum is a fail. Her decision to run into the fire has deep repercussions. The flames of the bushes lick up her arms, burning the fabric of the jacket she's wearing along with her pants. The flames reach her exposed sick, leaving first-degree burns on her calves and the side of her legs, and second-degree burns on different parts of her arms. Jonathan's spell is only temporarily successful in that it subdues the flames for about three to five seconds before picking back up and steadily regaining strength.

The burning sensation was excruciating, it only took her a few seconds to realise her mistake. Oh well, she was committed by now, continuing to run the length of the path while screaming to relieve the pain. She'll deal with it later...much like everything in her life. Until...wait...what was that spell in Charms they learnt in Third Year...the Flame-Freezing Charm? She tried to cast it while running, maybe it would work? "TRY THE FLAME FREEZING CHARM!" She yelled behind her toward Jonathan, mostly attempting to deal with the pain while giving him helpful advice.

S

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 10:05, August 3, 2020 (UTC) He gave a curt nod from his end of the pathway, casting flame-freezing charms on the nearest flames to him.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 17:07, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Between them both, they render the flames harmless, and Lily can brave through the rest until she eventually finds herself at the end of the fire-seed bushes. Even with the charms, the damage done to her limbs is horrible. From her wrist to just over her elbow, her arms are burnt, as is the skin from just above her knees to almost her hips. Once they manage to move past the bushes, they reach a quiet, almost tranquil intersection that provides them with a brief reprieve to handle Lily's injuries. This time, the intersection goes two ways: straight ahead and to the right. Coming from right ahead, there's a foul stench akin to old garbage and rotten eggs. To the right, there's no noise or any light, but if they look closely, they'll be able to make out eight white eyes.

As she got to the end of the corridor, she collapsed onto the ground which while still warm was much cooler than the hallway from hell. "Fuck...fuck...shit..." She looked at the palms of her hand which were red and swollen as she hissed as the pain grew more intense, "What the fuck?" She tried to clench her hand into a fist, barely being able to without letting out a yelp in pain. "What now?" She looked up toward Jonathan while casting some basic healing spells on the worst affected areas.

S

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 17:27, August 3, 2020 (UTC) He knew burn paste would be the best thing for her, but obviously didn't have any. He knew that dittany leaves would also work... and looked to see if he could find anything. "I've heard rumors of acromantulas in the forest, but didn't think they were true," he said in a low voice. "I'm thinking maybe we go with the path on the right, even if it doesn't smell pleasant."

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 17:43, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Lily's first-degree burns (the ones on the sides of her leg) heal up with the Episkey, but it's not enough to heal her second-degree burns (the ones running up her arms). When Jonathan looks around, it first doesn't look like there's any, but if he looks again, there's a Dittany plant behind them, growing from the vines on the ground. Was that there the first time?

She turned around along with Jonathan as if to check what he was seeing, "Oh, Dittany..." She shuffled over on her knees, "I wonder if I could smoke it..." She carefully leant over to pick a few leaves unless Jonathan would stop her.

S

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 18:06, August 3, 2020 (UTC) "No need to smoke it," he said. "The leaves in their raw form should work just fine." He plucked a few of them, laying them gently on her burns.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 18:12, August 3, 2020 (UTC) The effect isn't instantaneous. Her burns are still raw and the leaves cause a stinging sensation as Jonathan places them. As the minutes pass, the wounds do begin to feel less painful and a lot cooler. It's taking too long, however, and almost as consequence, the voices from earlier make a reappearance. They both come from the right, where the eight white eyes are staring blankly from. "Jonathan - Jonathan, you need to leave! It's coming for you!" Charity's voice is a desperate plea. There's a brief moment of silence before a gut-wrenching scream echoes down the path. It sounds pained. "No - no, I'm sorry! Please don't do this! Please! Jonathan, sweetheart, run!"

She held the leaves to her arms as she awkwardly got up off the ground, legs covered in muck and the remnants of what could be excused as a bad sunburn, "Are we running?" She asked before casting a quick Revelio to make sure they're weren't missing anything like a secret passage or whatnot.

S

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 18:18, August 3, 2020 (UTC) His heart twinged and his pulse sped up at the sound of his mother's cries. "It's not real," he said more firmly than he was feeling. "Let's go to straight ahead. C'mon."

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 18:26, August 3, 2020 (UTC) As Lily stands up, they suddenly hear quickly steps coming from the right, where they had just heard the screams coming from. Except those steps sound... weird. If they take another glance, they'll realize the eight eyes are approaching them very quickly, and as the beast approaches them, it becomes clearer and clearer until they see an Acromantula hurrying in their direction. Down the path straight ahead, there's an obstacle that will force them to slow down or think fast; the path ahead is covered in bundimun secretion. The acidic substance is covering about ten feet worth of the path, and at the end of it, there is the Bundimun itself, slowly crawling forward to cover more of the ground in its green ooze. The walls are becoming narrower and narrower the deeper in they do, forcing one to run behind the other. They can't move back, either, because the Acromantula is chasing them and cutting the distance between them fairly quickly.

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 18:37, August 3, 2020 (UTC) He hastily pointed his wand at the ooze, picturing it Vanishing into nonbeing, and the return of the forest floor. "Evanesco!"

She runs behind him, while also giving cautious glances behind her toward the Acromantula trying to keep some distance between her and it, as it got closer she pulled out her wand and sent a Depulso spell toward it, hopefully pushing it back and slowing it down as she continued to follow Jonathan through the oozy walkway.

S

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 19:28, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Jonathan's Evanesco doesn't work, but Lily's Depulso does, buying them a couple more moments while Jonathan tries again. If they decide to push forward without properly cleaning the ground, they risk the lime green acidic substance eating through their shoes and potentially their feet. Meanwhile, the Acromantula recovers quickly and hurries towards them again, lunging forward to try and grab Lily by the back of her jacket to drag her with it if Jonathan doesn't successfully get them moving again.

"Shit..." As it was seemingly becoming a trend in this tournament, Lily resorted to old fashioned methods and took her jacket off before throwing it at the gigantic spider, hoping it might blind it as well as distract its smell long enough for Jonathan to figure something out.

S

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 19:41, August 3, 2020 (UTC) He let out an annoyed huff, but tried to keep a cool head, given the circumstances. He pointed his wand at the goo. "Scourgify!" He pictured soap bubbles everywhere breaking down the acidic mess.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 20:50, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Because the Acromantula is already blind, depriving it of one of its last remaining senses slows it down just in time for Jonathan to successfully cast his Scourgify. The soapy bubbles get rid of the acidic mess, providing the Champions with the opportunity to break through. With the ooze and the Bundimun gone, they make it through the narrow pathway, which the Acromantula doesn't fit through. They hear a loud, defeated hiss behind them. Now, they're faced with a new realization: the path forces them to take a left turn. After they take the turn, they'll see a very bright light at the end of the path. As they approach the light, it'll begin dimming, until they see a hazy figure dancing over a tube. When the figure hears the footsteps, it whirls around to look at the Champions. They'll realize with a jolt, the figure is... Peeves? "Lookie, lookie! It's the wee brats of Hufflepuff House!" he cackles. When his maniacal laughter fades, he sits on the tube, legs crossed as he peers at them with an innocent grin. "What brings you untalented gits around?" Peeves pauses and sniffs the air. "You smell like Troll dung!" The champions will notice there's no space to move around him. They'll need to move over the tube, which it looks like there's someone in it - someone Jonathan will recognize as his mother. Or is it a copy?

— lily lovecraft

She arced around the corner before noticing Peeves, "Oh it's you again...huh?" She sniffed herself, "Oh yeah it's my new perfume, do you like it? The notes of dung really bring out the aroma of burning flesh, you might need to come a little closer to get the complete palette of scents." She noticed someone looking slightly similar to Jonathan in the tube so was trying her best to distract him as Jonathan took a closer look.

S

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 21:35, August 3, 2020 (UTC) He sees his mother... which is confusing. He flicks his wand at the tube. "Homenum Revelio!" He wants to ascertain whether the... something... in the tube is alive, or just a mirage.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 22:37, August 3, 2020 (UTC) "Me again?! I will have you know being around me is a blessing!" Peeves insists, looking a little indignant. His face splits into a mischievous grin. "Come on! You know you liked the pie the other week - it was fresh out the packet!" The spell doesn't mark Charity as a person. However, she doesn't look like any kind of illusion. She looks very much so real. The only indicators that something could be amiss are the lack of marking and the lack of her breath marking against the glass of the tube. Jonathan doesn't have a lot of time to dwell on it because Peeves is catching onto the distraction quickly and leaping onto his feet to make him move back. He retrieves something from the pockets of his jacket and, when he throws them, the Champions will realize it's various Dungbombs. He also pulls out a Decoy Detonator and drops it, causing it to start blaring loudly and releasing puffs of black smoke. "Nice try, Hufflepuffs! Best turn around and run away while you still can!"

"I just wanted to ask you what crust you used, it tasted like puff but..." Then the smoke bomb went off, cutting her off as she coughed loudly before she attempted to cast Reverte on the Decoy Detonator - reversing it back to its original state, "Seriously dude, what did you put in the custard as well? Was it cinnamon? Tasted sublime." The dungbombs beginning to get to her slightly.

S

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 22:51, August 3, 2020 (UTC) "Shut it, you!" He hollered at the poltergeist. He's not overly perturbed by the dungbombs. Working with magical creatures of all kinds has given him a less sensitive nose. "SILENCIO!" He points his wand at Peeves. "It's not human in this tube. Let's just get ourselves over and out."

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 23:14, August 3, 2020 (UTC) As a cheeky Wizard Wheezes product, it moves in reverse but is still making its booming 'bangs'. It doesn't shut up until Jonathan casts Silencio, but it's still spewing puffs of dangerous black smoke. It's akin to that produced by fires, choking them up and making them cough and tear up. "I don't think so, Princey-boo! Turn around and beat it," Peeves bites back, laughing maliciously. "See you around, Champs!"

"But, was it cinnamon?" She called after him as she continued on, vaulting over the glass sarcophagus as she coughed through the smoke, "Wait, was it nutmeg? Did you know that..." A slight cough break, "That it's deadly if injected into the blood stream?" She tried to cast the bubble-charm on herself to block out the smoke.

S

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 23:23, August 3, 2020 (UTC)~ He was also in the process of a Bubble-head charm as well. They had already come through fire and acid, he wasn't going to let himself be beat by the stupid poltergeist. Assuming that was successful, he attempted a Lumos Maxima so they could see around them.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 01:19, August 4, 2020 (UTC) Peeves disregards Lily for now as he stares at Jonathan, wondering what the wizard's next step will be. She successfully protects herself from the smoke, but Jonathan doesn't. His Lumos Maxima does light the vicinity, revealing Peeves standing protectively in front of the tube. He cocks his head and grins. "Well? Aren't you going to try to defeat me or something, o'great wizards?"

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 01:24, August 4, 2020 (UTC) "Lily," he says, choking on the smoke. "On my count, you put up a Shield Charm to protect us both," he said. "One... two... three!" He aims his wand at the tube, envisioning it smashing into smithereens. Ideally, with the tube out of the way, perhaps Peeves will be distracted by the shards of glass. "BOMBARDA!"

"The only way to defeat you is not to play..." She sighed at Peeves, crawling away as she did what Jonathan said and cast a Protego, prioritising Jonathan but would also cast one on herself if she had the time to do so.

S

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 16:01, August 4, 2020 (UTC) Jonathan's plan works, but as a consequence to his actions, Charity's voice screams, in pain and in tears. "Jonathan! Jonathan, how could you do this to me? Why would you hurt me?" The 'body' is in pieces now, thanks to his spell, but more importantly, there was a glint of silver that flew upwards because of the force of the explosion. It landed about ten feet behind the shredded, burning body. Meanwhile, Peeves is also hit by flying shrapnel, whereas the Champions are protected by the brunt of the explosion. Having been in a corporeal form, Peeves' gaping head wound is enough to keep him on the floor. He does stare up at them, shocked and a little hurt, before he nods in begrudging respect, accepting his loss. "This isn't the last you'll see of me," he vows, mustering some energy to smirk at the wizards as he fade out of view. Peeves is no longer a problem, and they have avoided losing a point.

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 16:19, August 4, 2020 (UTC) Anyone who knew Jonathan well would have seen a... look in his eyes that was highly different from himself. "IT'S. NOT. REAL." He bellowed, angry. He'd never felt so angry and scared. What was the silver glint? And what was the thing burning? What had he done? He'd been so convinced it wasn't real. Had he just killed some form of his mother? Had he just ripped his soul in two? Surely they wouldn't have let the tournament go that far. Surely. Tears threatening to spill, he charged forward to see what the carnage was.

Seeing Jonathan's gut wrenching reaction, she got up off the ground and went towards him, trying to pull him into a cautious hug, "We need to go, it wasn't real, she's fine..." She whispered toward him as she led him onward, strangely showing a type of compassion and empathy she was rarely disposed to.

S

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 17:31, August 4, 2020 (UTC) Charity's screams and cries fade the closer Jonathan and Lily creep towards the body. By the time they reach the carnage they created, a silence has engulfed the maze. Upon closer inspection, the flames have engulfed the body that was there completely, charring it to the point there is no identifiable feature. There are pieces of glass everywhere, but more notable is the silver piece that is feet away from them, behind the flames. It's small and has a hole shaped like an hourglass. It looks the same size as their incomplete time-turner necklace.

— lily lovecraft

She looked over and noticed the small silver piece, letting go of Jonathan temporarily to reach over and grab it, looking it over before trying to fit it into the necklace, giving Jonathan a moment to process what exactly happened.

S

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 17:40, August 4, 2020 (UTC) It wasn't real. Then.... "What... who... was that?" He asked, unable to remove his gaze from the body.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 17:49, August 4, 2020 (UTC) Lily manages to squeeze through a small space between the flames, but the silver piece is hot to the touch. Upon closer inspection, she'll realize it's the piece meant to hold the hourglass of the time-turner. It slots perfectly in between the rings when positioned perpendicularly. Meanwhile, Jonathan can inch a little closer, but it'll be difficult to tell who the body had been. All he'll be able to see is long brown locks. Behind them, through where they'd come from, they'll hear a slithering sound. If they look, they'll realize the vines on the ground are slowly crawling towards them, reaching for the fire-covered body and for the Champions' ankles. They'll need to move quickly to escape the vines.

"Yeah, we need to go..." She grabbed Jonathan's hand and ran with him in the opposite direction as to where the vines were coming from, casting a quick Incendio against the vines in hope of slowing them down.

S

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 18:11, August 4, 2020 (UTC) He moved with Lily as she pulled him, but his horror-filled gaze rested on the body of his mother. "I've killed her. I've murdered my own mother. They'll lock me away forever. It's what I deserve."

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 18:26, August 4, 2020 (UTC) The champions have little time to mull over the incident with the body. As they bolt, the last thing they may be able to see is the vines taking the burnt body and slowly dragging it under the wall of the maze. Lily's incendio doesn't succeed. As they run, more and more vines try catching the Champions, and succeed by tripping Lily and wrapping around her left ankle. They also trip Jonathan.

"You didn't kill her, why would the school allow it? Think about it-ah." As the vines wrapped around her ankle she fell to the ground, "Shit..." She studied the vines, trying to figure out if she learnt about them in herbology, but nope - they just seemed like regular liana vines. She tried once more to set them on fire with an Incendio spell while trying to pull her leg free.

S

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 19:04, August 4, 2020 (UTC) The vines swallowing up his mother... now they wouldn't even get a proper funeral for her. He didn't even fully register that he'd tripped and fallen. Pointing at the vines at his feet, but also thinking of the vines holding his mother's corpse, he flicked his wand and in a broken voice called out, "Relashio!"

Ravenclaw Champions

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 00:39, August 3, 2020 (UTC) With the sealing of the path behind them, Dante and Iseult were left in utter silence within the maze. Their maze was quite different from a regular maze that one might expect. Instead of hedges, tall trees that were densely packed made up the barriers between the paths. Although one would be able to go within these trees, the pairs of eyes that would glisten within the moonlight would no doubt deter any sane person away. An erkling, unaware of their presence, stood in the middle of the path before them. In the distance, two screams would play after one another, both belonging to men. Iseult would recognise one as belonging to Dunstan whilst Dante would hear his friend Freddie.

As soon as she hears Dunstan's scream, she knows it's not real. There's no way they'd be able to bring someone who isn't in the castle into this situation. Perhaps if it had been Tristan or Elayne, Iseult may have fallen for the trick. "They're not real." She whispers. "The screams. Ignore them, this is their sick plan of distracting us." She says. Noticing the Erkling, she remembers something she had previously learned in care of magical creatures. She points her wand at it and casts a melofors jinx, aimed right in the centre of the Erkling's head.

Dante felt a pit in his stomach at the sound of Freddie's screams from afar, tightening the grip of his wand. He listening to his partner's words, but he also couldn't help but wonder... would they have really taken him? For the competition? While Iseult went after the erkling, Dante attempted to cast the human-presence-revealing spell, hoping that would reveal any nearby figures.

Message Me • 02:29, August 3, 2020 (UTC)

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 03:14, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Iseult's melofors jinx worked, the Erkling's head being encased in a giant pumpkin which in turn caused it to fall on it's back, rendering it useless. Although an idea for the books, Dante's spell revealed no such clue of human presence. Rather as soon as he cast the spell, it seemed the creatures that slunk between the trees focused more on the two champions. "Don't anger them!" Freddie's pained voice sounded out, almost as if it was reactionary to Dante's spell, "You'll just make them angrier!"

Dante was trying to stay sure that Freddie's voice was a fake, but he did believe what he screamed made sense. Whatever creature hidden in the dark, it surely couldn't be good. Waving its wand toward it directly, he casted a verdimillious charm. Even if it didn't attack the creature as he hoped, it might reveal what it is through the green light the spell produced.

She casts a protego maxima around her and Dante - hoping to create a shield-bubble around them, not wanting to attack straight away, incase the creatures could be reasoned with.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 17:41, August 3, 2020 (UTC) It was a good thing that Iseult was able to cast a protego maxima spell because Dante's verdimillious charm revealed a Lethifold. Although it disappeared into the darkness of the trees near instantly, the unmistakable cloack appearance had been seen. Dunstan's screams to their left would echo throughout the maze, considerably louder and more pained than before.

She smirked. "A lethifold. I think it only responds to patronus charms. Remember the clue? About the memories of our pasts? Think of your happiest memory." She says. She feels a little awkward considering she'll probably be able to hear it. "And keep thinking it. I've no doubt it'll be back. We should head left? The screams seem louder this way." She suggests.

If he was being honest, Dante wasn't very knowledgeable about lethifolds, but they apparently seemed connected or related to dementors. "Okay," he nodded, heading left with Iseult close by. He didn't like the idea of separating. While he walked, he repeated one of the happiest memories to come to mind—eating popcorn and watching scary movies with his dad on Halloween.

Message Me • 20:15, August 3, 2020 (UTC)

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 22:02, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Following the path on the left, the Champions would lose the feeling of the Lethifold on them as if it had retreated indefinitely. They were, however, presented with a different problem. In a small clearing laid a body on the floor. From their distance it'd be hard to tell who it was but no doubt it belonged to one of the Champions' loved ones. Sitting on a toadstool beside it was Peeves, a grin on his face as he noticed the Champions. "If it isn't Rowena's little Champions," He mused, voice singsong and full of amusement, "Having fun?"

"Rather a lot, thank you." She says curtly. Peeves is one of the biggest annoyances of the whole Hogwarts schooling experience. She remembers one of the rules - he has the ability to take away points from the team. She's not risking anything for him, so casts a nonverbal langlock at him, hoping to divert him away so she can get to the body.

Great. Dante had always been intrigued by the rumors of Peeves, but encountering the poltergeist during this very important competition was a bit inconvenient. After Iseult attempted her nonverbal spell, Dante casted the confundus charm for good measure. He knew they needed to get to Iseult's loved one—or the copy of him—quickly.

Message Me • 02:33, August 4, 2020 (UTC)~

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 07:30, August 4, 2020 (UTC) See, Dante should've left Iseult to do the spells because one incantation heard from the wizards and Peeves was bouncing about, avoiding both spells. "Trying to hex me see? Lookie here, we have some fools who think they can trick the trickster!" Peeves laughed a little manically, moving to bounce on the glass. "This what you're looking for? Trying to get your Dad? You'll have to get through me first!" Laughing, Peeves continued to jump on the glass casing. "Try and save your precious father - and your point! If I get you first, I get a point all for me!"

Iseult smiles as she comes up with a plan. It's a trick she's practiced with Sabrina and Adele for a long time - she shuts her eyes, quirks an eyebrow and uses her legilimancy to plant a vision of the only person Peeves will listen to. The Bloody Baron. Iseult's vision involves the Baron threatening Peeves to leave the two of them before things get bad for him. She hopes this is enough to remove him, knowing how fearful Peeves is of the Baron.

Right, let Iseult lead the confrontation... while Dante could easily sneak behind the distracted enemy's back. As Iseult attempted to use her legilimancy, Dante let himself look where the easiest access to the box. He didn't move hardly a fracture with Peeves still on the box, but he would pounce for it if the baron could be the perfect convincing strategy to get the poltergeist to step away.

Slytherin Champions

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 00:39, August 3, 2020 (UTC) As Tate and Hana walked into the forest, the entrance behind them sealed up. The once loud and deafening cheers of the students - especially Slytherin - died away until they were left in silence armed only with their wands and the incomplete time-turner they had. Near instantly was a crossroad in the paths; the one they were on and three others. Whilst none looked inviting, going straight on from where they stood bore the least fog. The silence, beyond their breaths and steps, was cut short from a scream on their left. Undoubtedly belonging to a male, Tate would recognise it as belonging to his father, Bailey. The scream ended with a distinct cry for help, Bailey's strained words echoing throughout the path on the left. Like clockwork, the path on the right yielded another scream, this time belonging to someone close to Hana; Judicaël Pendragon. Much like Bailey, the scream ended with a strained plea of help before returning the maze to it's silence.

The screams are unnerving, yes. The forest is a bit terrifying, yes. But Hana's always been good at blocking out negative emotions until she's able to complete the task at hand. "There's no way they could've gotten your father." she tells Tate immediately to reassure him, "How would they have pulled that off?" Jude, on the other hand... She recalls stories from the Triwizard Tournament thatbhappened in the 90s and how they actually got students into Black Lake, but shakes the thought away. She decides not to bring it up. When she realizes the voices are coming from two different directions, she almost rolls her eyes. "I don't want to fight you on where to go. I'm sure even if they are real, we're more than capable of saving both in time without having to split up. What do you think?"

Tate, at first, was sent into a panic at the sound of his father's scream. He was incredibly thankful for Hana's attempt at reassuring him as without her being there he might have just taken off without even thinking. He listened to her words and calmed himself down, she was right, there was no way the school could have actually gotten his father – the former Minister himself – trapped in the maze. While part of him still felt uneasy about whether or not what Hana was telling him was true, he decided to believe her for his own sanity. "You're right..." He muttered before looking in both directions. "I think it'd be best to stick together and tag team whatever is waiting for us, if whatever they have pretending to be our family gets more realistic we can be there to talk the other out of it." He reasoned, the more he spoke of it it made more sense to him that Hana was right, they weren't family members. "Maybe going down that path would be best?" He said, pointing to the middle path with the least amount of fog, "Might be easier for us to get started without all the fog."

She wracks her brain for a spell that would help make it easier to see, but comes up blank. Instead she mutters a lumos, she'd cast something brighter but she was afraid it would draw unnecessary attention from the more sinister creatures in the maze. Hana turns to Tate and nods, moving forward by his side. "Let's go, then."

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 01:33, August 3, 2020 (UTC) If the two champions thought whatever was making the screams would stop after one attempt then they were sorely mistaken. "Tate! Please!" Bailey's voice echoed as the two made their way down the centre path, followed swiftly by "Hana? Hana?!" As the two made it further down the path, they would notice further on down that a Red Cap stood watching them, acutely aware of their movements.

After moving into the maze, Tate himself had cast lumos as well in order to provide just a touch more light for the pair. He did his best to ignore the sounds of his father screaming for help, it was hard but he needed to trust Hana. For his own sanity, that's what he needed. However, seeing a Red Cap was unsettling. Even if his dad and Hana's loved one weren't actually in danger, that still meant that there was blood shed in the area which was unsettling on its own. "That thing is ugly..." He muttered under his breath, becoming more cautious as they approached the dwarf. "I don't suppose you have a beautification potion on hand?"

Jude's voice sends chills throughout her whole body, and she tries to block it out by focusing on Tate and where they're headed. "Nope." she says, quietly. "A hex or jinx should probably do the trick, though..." She lowers her wand slowly, but keeps her wrist up so that the tip is still pointed at the red cap, thinking of a jinx that'd subdue it, but not knock it down entirely. It might prove to be useful. "Enbublio." she incants, trying to be as stealthy as possible.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 03:14, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Hana's Enublio jinx works like a charm, the Red Cap being encased in a bubble, it's ugly face turning angrier being a clear sign of success on the champions' part. It was then that the two would hear the snap of a twig behind them and, if they turned quick enough, they'd spot the unmistakable fur of a Hidebehind.

They'd only been in the maze for what... ten minutes? And Tate was already hating every second of it. From the sound of his dad screaming to a now floating Red Cap, and now a Hidebehind? No thank you. Thinking that there was no point in trying to stay and fight the creature, Tate decided instead to cast the knee reversal hex on the Hidebehind in hopes that if it hit it would at least slow it down and make it harder to chase them. "Run!" He shouted, not waiting to see if his hex made contact.

Before she starts running, Hana casts a quick imperturbable charm in the hopes of creating a barrier between them and the Hidebehind to repel it in case even with the knee reversal hex it manages to find a way to catch up. She runs, catching up with Tate, feeling pretty good about their chances. As long as they manage to strike up a good combination of defensive and offensive spells, hopefully everything should be okay.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 17:39, August 3, 2020 (UTC) Although Tate's knee reversal hex had failed - the Hidebehind having moved out of the way - Hana's imperturbable shield was successfully cast, allowing the two to put some considerable distance between them and the Hidebehind. Although muffled, the unmistakable sounds of frustrations from the beast would've been heard. At the end of the path they took, the Champions would find a clearing with a round stone tablet in the centre and multiple exists. On the tablet, in a substance that looked to be blood, was an arrow that pointed to the rightmost exit.

It's so tempting to insist on taking the right path because that's where she remembers Jude's voice coming from, but she decides to take a deep breath and focus. "Okay, let's see... It can't be that straightforward, right?" she says, looking at all the exits. "Cover us." she instructs Tate, before raising her wand and pointing it at various areas of the clearing. "Appare Vestigium." she incants, looking for traces of magical activity and footprints, to determine which path to take. "Aparecium." she adds, casting it on the tablet to look for any messages.

Tate nodded his head, casting another imperturbable charm at the entrance they came from in order to keep them safe from the Hidebehind or anything that had caught their scents along the way. While doing so, he heard the spell Hana was casting and turned his head to see just what she was doing. "Holy shit, you're a genius."

Message Me • 21:28, August 3, 2020 (UTC)

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 22:03, August 3, 2020 (UTC) It was a good thing that Tate incanted a second imperturbable charm as the Hidebehind came into view, a scowl on it's face. It would be now that Tate would come to learn one of the very dangerous of the beast; it's invisibility. One second, the beast stood before him before vanishing. Hana's Appare Vestigium would prove to be of little help; footsteps would light up the area they were in and went down every single possible route. There seemed to be more traffic down the path that the arrow pointed towards and less to a smaller, narrower path on their left. Her Aparecium spell would reveal some cryptic words; Two for two would be far too easy, don't you think?

Tate would be lying if he said the Hidebehind vanishing didn't shake him to his core. He was already scared of it, but now? F*ck that. They needed to keep moving, the loved ones needed them. Turning to Hana and seeing the cryptic words, Tate thought about it for a second. "Is it just kind of reassuring us that they aren't together?" He asked, not necessarily looking for a response. "Maybe yours is the direction of the arrow and mine is the one with less traffic? Regardless, there seems to be more traffic to the right which leads me to think we'd run into more issues than if we were to go left."

"That makes sense." she says, nodding her head. She trusts Tate, and she feels like going left sounds like to be a good option – plus, she doesn't want him worried about his dad anymore. It might be good to have the ex-minister with them, too, if this turns out well. "I trust you. Left it is." She turns towards the indicated path with him, casting another imperturbable charm because fuck that hidebehind, and a disillusionment charm on the two of them for good measure.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 22:45, August 3, 2020 (UTC) With a second imperturbable charm behind them and a disillusionment charm casted on the two of them, Tate and Hana were relatively safe when walking down the left path. Although it was significantly more relaxed now that the Hidebehind seemed to have sauntered off, bored with the lack of prey it was able to get, the main focus of the task refused to go unremembered. "Please Tate! Don't let them get Rosie!" Bailey's voice sounded through the maze, tone filled with dread and urgency. At a second clearing some ways away, the two would come across a small case that had Jude neatly laid within it. Sitting on top of the glass, one leg over the other, was the ghost of Salazar Slytherin. "Well, if it isn't my champions," He said, voice poignant with a glare directed at Tate, "What a beautiful way to reunite, don't you think?"

His dad's pleas and screams were getting harder to ignore. He was constantly repeating "It isn't real" in his head, but to no real avail. They were eating away at him and it resulted in him audibly saying allowed those three words in hopes he would be able to convince himself. Had Jude not been encased in front of them with Salazar Slytherin in front of them, Tate might have broken down. But, he saw the quote on quote light at the end of the tunnel. Or in this case maze. Shaking off the voice of his father the best he could, Tate walked up to Salazar to see who was encased. It wasn't his dad so he figured it was Hana's loved one. "You again, don't tell me we have to turn you into a duck again."

Hana immediately feels her heart pounding in her chest, an immense wave of guilt for not insisting they find him sooner. Hana smiles politely to the ghost, and while Tate is busy catching up with his old friend from the first task, she attempts to open the case with an alohomora. She casts a revelio, too, to look for any hidden objects in the case or to check if the person in the case is really Jude or something in disguise.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 23:38, August 3, 2020 (UTC) "You're lucky your parents are so respectable," Salazar said, raising an eyebrow at Tate. "But, yes, you do - all for an extra point! It seemed to save you last time, didn't it?" The ghost smirked, eagerly hoping for them to take him up on his offer. Hana's alohomora failed, only serving to nudge the glass off slightly. Her revelio, however, revealed the small hourglass section of their half-made time-turner, held neatly by Jude.

"How nice of an observation you're making, but uh-" He said as he glanced over at Hana. "I think we'll be taking you up on your offer. You must have some sort of fetish, always wanting us to turn you into a duck. Do you just want to tell your bodyguard to come out already, or did you come on your own this time?"

When the alohomora fails, she feels frustrated and casts finite incantatem to try and end the effects of any spells keeping the locks in place, then tried alohomora again. While Tate continues talking to Salazar (thank Merlin Tate's keeping him busy), she also tries casting a homenum revelio to check if what's inside is really human. Please, please, please don't let it be Jude...

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 00:40, August 4, 2020 (UTC) "What an impudent child," Salazar said, voice filled with disdain. "What would your mother say? Or your father? Oh wait! I'd hate to ruin the surprise." He smirked and laughed before moving to stand on the glass. "Tell me, boy, are you going to be vying for the extra point? Or are you going to leave your friend there to do all of the work?" He nodded at Hana, making reference to her spells. Her homenum revelio would reveal that, much like she hoped, the being inside the case wasn't actually Jude. Her finite icantatem and alohomora threw off the glass lid, shattering it against some overgrown branches.

"Don't bring up my parents, otherwise it'll be more than just ducklifors I'm casting on you." He said, his tone ripe with something akin to anger. It was a touchy subject, given that his father's cries for help were still burned into his brain. Hana's success in her spell casting was reassuring, but now they were tasked with turning Salazar into a duck. There was no Basilisk this time to use, so Tate had to think of other means to take Salazar by surprise. He knew air and water currents could push a ghost, so he figured that was worth a shot. "Aqua Eructo!" He chanted, wand pointed at Salazar. He hoped that, if the spell made contact with Salazar it would distract him so either Hana or himself could cast ducklifors. And if Bloody Baron were to make an appearance again and try to block the spell, well then he hoped he'd be pushed out of the way instead.

Human or not, the sight of Jude like this is still unsettling, but her victory removes some of the unease. She quickly snatches the time turner piece, but when Tate casts his spell she knows she has to think quick. "Ducklifors!" she casts, aiming her wand at the house founder. She grins; she and Tate make a great team.

Message Me • 01:16, August 4, 2020 (UTC)

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 01:40, August 4, 2020 (UTC) With the distraction of Tate being enough to keep Salazar out of the loop, the ducklifors spell connects with ease. With a growl, the ghost slinked away with one point extra being awarded to the Slytherin Champions. This was not a time for celebration, however. Despite one body having been found, still needing to be sent away with red sparks, another was missing. As if on cue, the presence of the Hidebehind would be felt. Although invisible still, the definite feeling of being watched would plague the Champions. A scream in the distance was harrowing for both of them. Why? It belonged to one Teagan Jeon. "No, please! Not me!" The Head of Gryffindor's screams echoed throughout the maze, followed closely afterwards by Bailey's.

It worked, yet another successful bonus point for Slytherin and on top of that they found one of two of their loved ones. He couldn't help but smile at their success so far. "I'll let you do Red Sparks on him." He said before the unsettling feeling of being watched creeped up on him. He couldn't quite figure out what it was because, but given what they had encountered thus far in the maze he had a hunch that it could be the Hidebehind. That unsettled feeling didn't last long however due to the sound of not only his father screaming for help, but now his mother too. This was absurd, there's no way they had her too. Did they now have to find both of them? Seemed hardly unfair, if they had to find three people he hoped that the other teams had to as well. A lot was running through his mind, but the screams of both his parents were definitely eating him alive. It was really effecting Tate in a way he didn't expect. It caused him to fall to his knees cradling his head, trying to cover his ears. "Shut up, shut up, shut up!" It was getting hard for him to ignore.

"Tate, it's not real!" she says, kneeling down next to him. She feels the presence of something sinister and casts another defensive charm until Tate calms down. "Protego totalum!" she says, hoping to cover the area they're in. "Look," she says, showing him the timeturner piece. "I cast homenum revelio and it said it wasn't human, and the copy was holding a timeturner piece and we're only missing two, so your mother can't be in here either. We just need to follow the voice so we can go, okay?" She wishes she could be better at comforting him, but she's scared the hidebehind will show up, so her eyes continue to dart around looking alert. "It's not real." she repeats, "We're almost done. We can win."

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 07:19, August 4, 2020 (UTC) Hana's protego totalum covers the area they're in with ease; the Hidebehind surfaced, arms banging against the magical boundary.

Hana almost jumps at the sound of the hidebehind banging on the boundary. Quickly, she points her wand upwards and shouts, "Periculum!" Afterwards, she tries to help Tate up. "Tate, we have to move." she says, urgently. "Let's stun it then run on your count, okay? When you're ready." She aims her wand at the hidebehind and will cast stupefy at the same time Tate decides to attack.

Tate couldn't really tell if he was convinced by what Hana was saying or if he just needed himself to be feel convinced enough. But that didn't matter because the Hidebehind banging on the boundary above them shook Tate free of his thoughts as he winced before jumping back to his feet, some visible tears streaming down his cheeks. "Count of three." He said with his wand raised. "One, two, Stupefy!" He said, shooting the spell from his wand in hopes it, along with Hana's, would hit the Hidebehind rendering it unconscious. Without waiting to see the result, Tate ran the direction of the screams of his parents with Hana in tow.

In the vague distance, the Champions would hear the cheers of the student body as they learnt that the Slytherin Champions had achieved one of the two goals. Both of the Champions' stupefy spells connected with the Hidebehind, hitting it hard enough to whimper and run from them. With it no longer chasing them from behind, the two would be able to make considerable ground in trying to locate the remaining body. Consistently to their left they would hear Bailey's screams.

Thank God the Hidebehind's no longer a problem. Hana continues to follow Tate as he leads the way towards where the screams are coming from, wand at the ready in case anything decides to attack again. The incomplete time turner and the piece that came from the Jude double are still with her; she'll try putting it together once they reach the second body.

The cheers that they heard from the crowd was encouraging, and it reminded Tate that this was just a task. It couldn't be real, no matter how realistic the screams sounded. With his wand at the ready as well, Tate continued to move at a quick pace in order to cover as much ground as possible. He wasn't sure if they were close to the second goal, but he hoped they were nearing it.

They'd eventually come to another set of crossroads that was blocked by a Graphorn lazily sleeping. It was in such a position that waking it and facing it would be the only way the two Champions could progress in the task.

Remembering that a Graphorn isn't very easy to deal with from her limited knowledge of CoMC, she wracks her brain for an alternative. Transfiguration has always been her favorite subject, so... "I'm going to try transfiguring it." she whispers to him, trying to block out the screams. "Cover us." She aims her wand at the creature, focuses, and casts a couple spells. "Diminuendo!" she says, hoping to shrink it, before casting another spell for good measure. "Duro!"
