Mice, mazes and cheese.
Now if THAT wasn‘t just a typical experiment, he didn‘t know what was. This was going to be fun. Part of him wished they had real mice though. Ah well. For now the toy mice would have to do. „I can get the cheesecake.“ And with that he stood and followed Bel to the front to get a piece of cheesecake. Why not cheese actually? Hm. Because this, this was VERY tempting. Would they be allowed to eat the cheesecake in the end? Maybe the next experiment would be them, the students, going through a maze having to find a slice of cheesecake?!
When he‘d returned, Cameron held up the cheesecake for the others to see then placed it somewhere inside their maze. Now. The experiment was ready. Quote:

Al noticed that Cam, that was the Slytherin boy’s name, was polite and had hair as dark as pitch. ”I’m Alessandro,” he dutifully repeated his name for their new table-mate.
The first task was laid out for the room and before Al could do as much as offer his assistance, Bel and Cam both took off to collect the mouse and cheesecake for the experiment. When they returned, Alessandro peaked into the maze on their table and then looked to the mouse. “If we put him in the maze, does he just go?” On his own? Or would they have to coax him toward the cheesecake? Quote:

But before she spoke up, Cameron had offered to do that so... The badger just sat there waiting for those two students grabbing the mice and cheesecake. "Also... Thanks, Cam. For getting the cheesecake, I mean." Once both Bel and Cameron went back to their desk, now they're ready to try the activity.
Only she still didn't understand how the toy mouse could follow the maze and find the cheesecake. "Well.... I think we still need to coax it but I don't know..." Diandra scratched her head as Alessandro asked them how it worked. "Why don't we.... just try it first? I'll go first." She offered. Taking one of the mouse, she placed it at the opposite end of the maze and observed where the little mouse go. Uh.... see? It didn't seem like the toy mouse followed the right path and bumped into the sides a lot. "Come on, mouse.." Well, this looked more difficult than the instructions, huh? "Do we need to do something so... the mouse won't get lost?" Oh great, Cam got the cheesecake! Bel watched as he put it in the maze, gave him a bright smile, and then looked at Alessandro. That was a good question. WOULD the mouse just go? "I think its... charmed to... just go." Bel suggested with a little laugh. "If not then I think we're out of luck since I don't know about you guys but I have no idea how to make that happen."
She looked at Diandra when the older girl spoke and nodded. Coaxing somehow maybe the smell was good enough? She watched when Diandra took the yellowy- orange mouse and put it in the maze. Trying it first WAS a good idea. And... oh. ".....do you think our mouse is defective? Oh... wait what if we help it out with some little bits of cheesecake along the way? Like.... a smear here and here," Bel pointed at the bits of the maze which seemed to be giving the most trouble, "So it knows to keep going?" The professor had said nice start, but now it was the five minute warning. "We're going to run out of time, I'm going to try it." Bel said.
She put her fingertip in the cheesecake and with the resulting cheesecake goop on her finger, she went ahead and put tiny smears of it just past wherever there was a fork or a weird bit to encourage the toy mouse to go the right way and also to know what cheesecake smelled and tasted like.
.....
that was if toy mice had sense of taste and smell. Welp. "Okay mouse, go!" Quickly before time was up!
