So they had to navigate a maze with obstacles.. That didn't sound too bad, he had to admit it sounded kind of fun. Ethan was actually starting to enjoy Arithmancy this term.. even if he didn't completely understand it.

And then large hedges went up all around and darkness surrounded him before he was able to pull out his wand, fumbling it in the process. Just perfect, he grumbled, getting down on all fours to feel along the ground for his dropped wand. How would he be able to manage getting through this maze without a little light and a few defensive spells if needed? Still moving his hand about the ground, now a bit panicky, Ethan's hands finally grasped around that familiar length of beech. Thank Merlin..

Rising to his feet, wand now firmly in his grasp, Ethan cast Lumos. At least he could see somewhat around him. The boy kept slowly through the maze around the first hedge, keeping his wand out and slightly elevated. Nothing to worry about yet.. but he was sure there would be something to trip him up around the next corner as he could hear distant shouts in all directions. That didn't sound good at all..
