He heard a voice behind him. It was Alexa. "Oh yeah, I'm okay. I saw a bunch of vines, and... you know... Burbage getting eaten still kinda haunts me, so.. I freaked out for a second."

Sensing she thought he was a bit dumb, he moved on without saying anything else. He turned left at the next opportunity and almost ran into someone. At the next opportunity, he turned back to the right, this time checking to make sure the coast was clear first.

Suddenly everything was dark. "Oh not AGAIN!" Somehow he'd made a circuit. Backing away slowly, he left the darkness and retraced his steps. Instead of a right turn, he went to the left this time. Walking on for quite awhile, he came to a dead end. Backtracking once more, he took a fork to the left before he reached the darkness.

Soon he encountered a whole colony of spiders. "Eww..." They weren't huge, but the way they moved made him think they were gross. I don't wanna walk through that.. They'll climb up onto me. He pointed his wand and said "Petrificus Totalus," several times. Then he stepped smartly over the large group and resumed his search for the necklace.
