"There's nothing here, Ariadne...the hall is pretty empty." he said in a hushed tone, not wanting to disturb the on-going lectures inside the Muggle Studies Classroom and History of Magic. He didn't want to deal with the very kind Headmistress right now, really.
Without warning, his stomach grumbled in protest making him stop, and turned slowly towards Ariadne. "Sorry about that." he said as his hand tried to tamp down the remaining sounds his stomach made. They've been going up and down stairs for quite a while now, so it was just natural for the boy to exhaust some of his energy. "I should've taken a heavier meal this morn-- Ariadne look! Behind you! It's the clue!" Jace ran past his partner, and stopped at very edge of the swamp, wrinkling his nose. It didn't smell so good, really.
With his parchment and quill ready to jot down a professor's name, Jace stood there...wondering if it's an instruction...or a trick. Closing his mouth, he turned around to face Ariadne and gave her a shrug. "I guess it's game over." he said putting his parchment and quill away in his pocket. Jace inclined his head toward her smiling, "I had fun Ariadne. Thank you." he said his cheeks turning pink. "Let's go?"
Ariadne felt like she was basically running laps up and down the castle. By the time she'd gotten from the seventh floor all the way to the first floor, she was slightly out of breath. She hoped the next clue really led to the classroom and not back up to the seventh floor or something. She might have to consider giving up at that point. Heh. Who was she kidding? She'd totally go for that next clue!
When she finally caught up to Jace, he was saying something about not seeing anything on this floor.
"I was afraid of that," she said.
"Sometimes I think we're just running in circles." She giggled when his stomach started grumbling.
"It's cool. From what I've heard, boys are always hungry anyway," she said. Now whether or not that was true was a different story. She almost jumped when he called out for her to look. Whirling around, she saw the clue. THE CLUUUUUUE!
"Game over? Kinda sad...," she said.
"You were an awesome partner! Thanks for all the fun!" She nodded when he asked if they should go. Turning away from the swamp, because it smelled AWFUL and was nowhere she wanted to stay for long, Ariadne turned on her heels and left for the classroom.
