Nodding, although neither of the tasks he had been hoping for them to bring up, Airey cleared his throat when he was able to make out some hand ACTION going on between the two now that his eyes had adjusted a bit more to the dim lighting. Sweet solstice. It was that sort of thing that landed them here in the first place.

One of my personal favorites, actually, next to the little trick from Albus Dumbledore using the Mirror of Erised. Filius Flitwick, Charms professor at that time, had a task involving enchanted flying keys. An entire flock of them to be exact. Among this seemingly endless sea of winged movement was ONE and only ONE key that would allow the Harry Potter and his companions to move forward to the next task. In your case, this will be leaving this room...but you will not be dealing with winged keys today..."
Just then the sloshing sound of water gently hitting against the stone walls turned into something a bit more unnerving. It was almost as though there had come a sudden downpour, but there was no rain falling from the ceiling. Now that everyone's eyes have adjusted, dark silhouettes can be seen hopping through the shallow water before a croaking chorus begins to serenade the professor and his detainees.
