Not happening.

And though she'd not given Ivy much thought before now (soz), Florrie found she was very grateful for the Ravenclaw being there. Especially when she called Scarlett back so that she didn't have to. "I'm not sure what we're supposed to do, because if this was real I would probably go in the opposite direction," Florrie was thinking aloud, for her own benefit as well as the other girls. "But this is a lesson, and I don't see any door, so maybe we have to... defeat the hinkypunk?" 'Defeat' for want of a better word. Either way, she was open to Ivy's thoughts, and she was keeping an eye on the first year.

Even knowing what she knew about hinkypunks, it was interesting how tempting it still was to follow the light. Nothing here was real, of course, this was all just for a lesson, but it still felt real. The mud, the smell, the darkness... The light promised freedom from it all, and Ivy very much wanted to get out of this place.

But fortunately she had Florrie and the Hufflepuff first year - she really ought to find out her name, but she hadn't been able to get a look at her name tag yet - with her...or at least she had Florrie, because the first year didn't seem to be listening to her and was wandering towards the probable hinkypunk now.

Though...the older Hufflepuff had a good point. Realistically they should go in a different direction, but considering the circumstances surrounding the bog? It would probably be too easy to just walk away and stumble upon another door out of there.

Ivy nodded. "That makes sense to me," she said, taking several careful steps forward. "Looks like someone wants to lead us in that direction anyway." She nodded in the first year's direction. They couldn't just leave her to face the creature on her own.

It does seem that something wants to lead you away, but when it becomes clear you won’t be getting any closer, you suddenly find yourself under fire—literally!! Fireballs rain down from the sky, the hunkypunk moving ever closer.

Watch out?

SPOILER!!: Blackthorne

Violet was suspicious of the idyllic setting to begin with--after all, Trent was not testing them on their ability to relax! But the appearance of the Gryffindor founder put her on high alert. Because what would he be doing here with a Slytherin?

Suddenly Violet hear a rustle behind her and wheeled around, her wand at the ready, and saw...her mother, dying on the ground! She could barely remember her mother, but from the bits and snatches she did remember, along with the photos Miss Howard had showed her, this was her. Dying, and before Violet ever had a chance to try to find her. This had been her greatest fear for a long time, especially since what should have been her second year, when she'd run away to New York with her father and found that Helena Blackthorne was no longer with him.

As she watched, frozen in horror with a few tears starting to trickle down her cheeks, the face of the dying woman eerily morphed into the features of her governess, who she'd spent most of her childhood with, who she'd seen just this past summer when Miss Howard had appeared at the end of the battle to see if Violet was all right. This was almost worse!

But the appearance of her former governess suddenly stiffened her resolve, because Miss Howard would not approve at all of a person standing and snivelling when faced with danger, instead of doing something about it. She knew how to fight a boggart, the question was, would she be able to manage to do it?

"R-r-rid-d-diku...Ridddik.., she tried to stammer through her tears. Then she took a sharp, deep breath, imagined the dying Miss Howard springing up and shouting, 'Just fooling!' and shouted "Riddikulus!!"

Just fooling is right! The once menacing boggart no longer appears so. Defeated, it retreats behind the fountain and is gone.

Whether it was because you were trying to get away from your worst fear just now or because you've now been able to move on, you find yourself deep inside a canyon that may or may not stretch on for miles. No sense going back, you must go forward and so you do. The only problem here is there is a large stone blockage--towering at least 15 ft high. You could levitate everything out of the way piece by piece but then....do you really want to waste all that time when the sky has suddenly turned to night and an ominous full moon rises to the centre of the sky? If you didn't already know it was coming, the chilling howl in the distance would. You're...gonna need a faster way to clear this.
