"I'm okay waiting here, Professor Stewart," the Slytherin said uncharacteristically brave. "Do you need help keep track of times or something?" Because that was something Max was more comfortable doing, yep.
Kay looked hard at Maxton. Was he that afraid of getting into the car and trying for himself just how fun driving could be? "Are you worried about your safety? If so, I assure you that this is completely safe.'' She would know as she had seen that the proper measures were in place and had even tested it for herself. She was still trying to convince him but force him she would not... "If you really are sure about this, you can help me write down the names of your classmates as they emerge ad their respective times.''
SPOILER!!: Jessa! XD Quote:

Jessa had followed the group along with a warming charm in place to ease the edge of the cold air that threatened her asthma--reluctant as she was--because the Professor said so but this maze thing was another story entirely. The walls were too tall for her to see over, even if she got on top of her car. There was no pausing to stick her head up and get her bearings but it sounded like there was ample things to make things go wrong in there.
Add to that the fact that there were a ton of wrong turns in a maze that she COULD take and essentially have herself cornered and you could see where her mind was going with this.
The Ravenclaw watched her classmates get inside the cars and speed off but she had no such plans.
Instead, Jessa moved to one end of the maze and began to follow the wall to the back where she suspected the Professor would be waiting. On the inside she could hear the horns and yells too but they did nothing to make her want to be a part of it.
The wall seemed to stretch for a while but finally she found the woman and the point at which she suspected people would be exiting. Jessa walked up to the woman with her clipboard who looked so attentive. "May I have a map, Professor?"
Kay's blue eyes went from the stopwatch to the maze's exit and back again. Really! This was exciting. She just couldn't wait to see who would be out fir- She blinked. "Ms. Cambridge,'' she began in a tone of amazement. "There will be no such thing given.'' It wasn't as though she even had a map. Now her firm and stern tone came forth. "There's still time to complete the activity. Kindly go ahead to do so.'' Goodness! Why was Jessa being so difficult with her today? Unless... "Is something wrong?''

Faster!” She urged her car along, wanting more speed than it was willing to give. “Come on!” Her foot pushed harder on the already flattened gas pedal and her hand pounded on the steering wheel. She could see other cars coming up behind her and needed to go!
There was a right curve coming up and she instinctively leaned her body to the right, hopeful to make the turn easier and not lose too much speed. The tires squealed in protest, but her foot refused to back off of the gas. Another right turn, then a left was coming, then another quick left. She was sure she was leaving tire marks on the road, but she didn’t want to risk taking her eyes off of what was in front of her to glance in the rear view to see.
Finally, she approached another right turn, followed shortly with another right. “Where does this end!” she beeped the horn several times in frustration. Her car simply wasn’t going fast enough. “Water!” she screamed when she saw another large puddle of water before her. This time she braced herself for the impact and hydroplaning that was sure to come. “Ahhhhhhhhh!” her scream was in excitement this time around. She knew what to expect after her last water encounter and the floating feeling and water flying all around were a welcome thrill.
She felt her tires make purchase on dry pavement again, and sped forward. Just a head she had a choice to make, straight or turn right. Not wanting to sacrifice speed, she chose straight. The car flew forward and she could just make out the finish line. BEEP BEEP BEEP her horn blared as she cruised across the finish line and slammed the brakes, bringing her vehicle to a sudden stop. “That was awesome!”
She smiled brightly at Professor Stewart and tried to eye her time. She hoped it was fast enough and wondered if she should have picked a different car. Her’s had felt so slow and she hoped it hadn’t been a dud.
The first car was approaching the end of the maze! "Get ready, Mr. Carden.'' And the first person out was... Lyn! "Oh, well done. Ms Walsh. You're the first one out.'' Meaning, everyone else would have to beat the time of... "Nine minutes.'' SPOILER!!: Hattie! Quote:

These obstacles were pretty stressful, but she'd had fun. It had given her some sort of insight into how driving was. She would have liked to drive, but she knew it would be more stressful when other people were driving. So she'd probably stick to the magical forms of transportation. First though, because she even considered that she needed to get out of this maze. That involved getting through this puddle. The girl slowed her car down a little, so that she went through the puddle without it going everywhere. She didn't want to crash right at this last second. She used the same tactic that she had with the other puddles, knowing that it had worked out pretty well for her. It worked this time too, and she carried on along the road.
She came to a junction, but didn't turn up it for she could see the end of the maze in front of her. She smiled to herself, speeding up a little as she made it towards the end of the maze, and left it. She pulled the car back up where it was, and turned it off. She sighed, relaxing in the seat for a moment. That was fun, but she was glad that it was done. She got out of the car and smiled at the Professor. "That was fun!" But she probably wouldn't want to do it again. Now to wait for all her fellow peers to be done
Was that the sound of another car approaching the finish of the maze? It was! Kay beamed as Prefect Paton came driving up. "I'm glad you think so. Great job.'' Did Maxton get the time? Oh right. She held the stopwatch and had to give him the information. "One minute, one second behind Ms Walsh, Mr. Carden,'' she told her Snakey assistant. "Ms. Paton? You may head back where you started to park the car.'' OOC: HI  You guys have about 26 hours left! |
