Oh! Maybe they meant that that had been the last fork. Juniper decided that this must be the reason, and she quickly continued her sprint out of the maze. But then she saw it. Another fork, with three possible pathways.
What on earth was this all about? Juniper stared at the fork, trying to decipher how she should ask her partner to go. She could write a really long message in the ribbon, and give a third color code. But... that would take a long time, and Juniper wanted to get out of the maze as quickly as possible. She remembered the blue and green sparks. Perhaps they had meant.. go straight at the next fork. Yes, that must be it. And if it was not it, then Juniper would find out soon enough.
Taking a deep breath, Juniper decided to take her chances on guessing what the blue and bronze meant. She walked slowly down the third fork, gaining speed and confidence until she was eventually running, running, to get out of the maze at last. She could smell the freedom, she could taste the space.
"We did iiiit!" Juniper practically tackled her first year partner, exhilarated by the freedom of being out of the maze. She completely forgot that they had never introduced themselves, and was just so proud of the first year boy. "You got me out of the maze!" Juniper beamed at him, no less than thrilled. William leaned against the maze wall, staring into the exit as if his staring would get her out quicker. Perhaps she hadn't gotten his message from him, that she should go straight at the final triple fork. Oh dear if she got lost it would be all his fault he really didn't want to get the professor. That would be awkward! No, instead he kept staring, praying she'd get out soon.
Then he saw a small spot at the end of the long stretch of maze. It looked like his partner, but honestly there were still so many students in there that perhaps it was a different student. Blinking his blue eyes and trying not to cry he watched as the small splotch got closer, beginning to run straight at him.
Next thing he knew he was almost trampled onto the floor, the only thing stopping him was his partner, who's name he still didn't know. Hugging her back, proud of himself for getting her out without incident he grinned, "You did great with the ribbons!" He exclaimed, his voice higher than normal. "Sorry if I got your confused at the last turn, I didn't know how else to get you to go straight." He replied frowning a bit.
"What's your name anyway?" He asked, putting his wand back into his pocket and looking at the older student.
