By the time he got that all done, Skylar has started working on the maze. He leaned forward as he regarded the maze thoughtfully. Finally he spoke "You know, creatures use all of their senses when hunting for food. Most of the time they smell for it before they can see it." He took a cheesecake-- which was perfectly edible for humans, its just for the paranoid ones that the Professor had to sell the idea a bit more-- and placed it at the corner of the maze then started to reverse hop it throughout the path, leading to where the mice would be placed at the start. "There should be some cheesecake essence on that path now that the mice should find it easier to detect, easier to make them follow and repetition should make it routine." Makes sense yeah? At least to real mice it would.

He replaced the cheesecake back to one corner and Skylar's mouse at the starting point "Try it now?"

Anyway, Head Boy was certainly enjoying the cheesecake, to which Skylar might have been about to pick up and sample some when Professor Marchand was starting the lesson.

And when Marchand started the lesson, Skylar was just about grateful she HADN'T taken a bite of the Head Boy's cheesecake, because it seemed it had other purposes than for them to indulge in. But apparently he hadn't cared if they did consume it, it was just really meant for the fake mice it seemed. Watching as he demonstrated, it seemed as if it was a simple enough task to manage. Flicking her wand with a non-verbal summoning charm ~~because it was one of the charms she'd mastered non-verbally~~ for another cheesecake from the refreshment table, she set it at the top right corner, as demonstrated. And used the tip of her wand to sort of guide the mouse toward the cheesecake.

Okay, that was actually kind of confusing; she was getting confused with the maze so she couldn't imagine the mouse. "Huh, maybe we should have planned out the maze first....." she said thoughtfully to her tablemates. Was it too late?

What did she do to deserve that side eye, Diggory? The prefect was innocent. So innocent, she could just smile at her dorm mate.

Actually, Vivian didn't really have much to offer to her desk buddies. They were doing pretty well even without her doing anything, but that was mostly because it was SKY and ACE, and it seemed like things were always done well with these two. And definitely, she agreed with Ace's idea. It was easier to guide the mouse when it knew the smell of the cheesecake. But y'know, she'd want a bite of the cake later. Maybe after the activity, she'd grab a slice because why not?

"Take a right, Sky," the blond said. Well, she didn't do much in the planning process, but she had paid attention when Ace's did that reverse hop thing. Maybe a little bit, but yes. Vivian then scanned the maze path for the route towards the cheesecake. Err... yeah, it was starting to get confusing. Help.
