As she was lost in her thoughts she felt a sudden silence. This was all very odd. The maze thus far had been an on-going pattern of mahem. So why now for the sudden pause? She stopped dead in her tracks and looked up and down the pathway... nothing. What was going on?

She took another step forward and it was deafening. It was the only sound that she could hear in close proximity to herself. So she braced for something... anything to happen.

Then... it did.

The maze around her started to change. A wall went up behind her and in front of her. She was trapped in a box. NOW she knew why that Mime always looked so fretful, being in a box was terrible. She was about to call out when a wall receded to the left of her and revealed another part of the maze, "...brilliant."
Was he hearing things?

He could have sworn he heard another familiar voice but it wasn't Selina's. Or he was simply imagining things considering the walls however bushy and not solid was making sounds distorted. Focus... he told himself. The sooner you finish the sooner you'll at least one familiar face and with his skills it should be a piece of cake to complete...right?

Simon continued following the maze's twist and turns, making his way around one corner just in time to be greeted with another dummy. With a swift flick of his wand he caught it with a flash of blue, letting out a breath of air once it disappeared.

Another down however many more to go.

The former Gryffindor had to admit though, whoever had set up the maze and such had certainly done a good job. They would be a better choice for defense professor then Borr or whoever they used next term...but then anyone would be an improvement so that wasn't saying much.
