Post 1 Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll Fiyero watched intently as the wall beside Professor Hirsch crumbled, showering the class in a cloud of dust. Whoa... breakaway wall. Cool!He'd been wondering what was behind that wall since the class started. His hand tightened around his wand as he peered into the darkness, half-expecting a gytrash to jump out and attack him. Nothing happened. He was a little disappointed to learn that they wouldn't be fighting actual gytrashes today, but he understood. He wouldn't want Professor Hirsch to get in trouble!
Fiyero surveyed the maze for a minute, trying to decide which entrance he should use. If the gold flag was in the middle, it stood to reason that the middle entrance would get him there quicker. He started down the middle path, drawing his wand. Bring it on, "gytrashes"!
After walking a short distance, he came to a fork in the path. Which way should he go, left or right? He turn left and quickly hit a dead end. Great... now he'd have to waste time retracing his steps.
A faint rustle caused Fiyero's blond head to whip around suddenly. Merlin's beard! What was that? "Lumos Liv-" he began, tracing a clockwise circle with his wand, but his voice trailed off as a small white dog jumped out of the hedge. Was this one of the "gytrashes"? How did Professor Hirsch say they were supposed to tell them apart? Oh yeah... the "gytrashes" bark, and this thing was definitely not barking. "Well, you're not dangerous at all, are you?" he said, scratching the stuffed animal behind the ear; it jumped up in reply. Fiyero shook his head. He couldn't believe he'd almost blasted a harmless toy. Get ahold of yourself, Fiy! he told himself sternly. He was acting jumpy for no reason...
