His foot had begun tapping under the desk, his face contorted into a rather pained expression. He had never been good with numbers – his muggle primary school teacher had even gone as far as to say to his mother he had a mild form of Dyscalculia... and Arithmancy was just basically maths wasn't it? Maths with a bit of Divination thrown in to make it a leeeeetle more interesting.

Why he decided to take this subject in his final year he didn't understand but at least the professor was nice - tough but nice.

He glanced over at Sarah to see what she was up to but his eyes snapped back to the professor when she mentioned peppermint chocolates! Woot! SUGARRRRR! Just what the twitchy boy needed to quell the boredom and make him even more.. twitchy.

And it got better still..

Chomping on his chocolate, he watched as the classroom transformed into a maze. “Awesome.” He smiled. Now things were getting interesting. He looked back at Sarah to see her hotfooting it off to.. somewhere. Confused, but certainly not bored anymore, he set off after the Head Girl. “Oi! Wait up, partner..” He shouted after her. Best have company of the brainy kind should those pesky sevens or twos decide to attack.

Hehe!

Now she knew why she never went in mazes on days out with her family. Sarah's sense of direction was not good. And within the first few paces she came to a fork in the maze. Hanging her head in abject horror, she sighed and looked left and right. Until she heard a voice behind her, causing her to spin back to face the very place she had come from. "Oliver?" she asked, fully aware that the answer was, YES. *cough* "I never saw you before, but thank god you're here. I'm lost." Yes ladies and gentlemen, she was gonna be a big help in this task.

"And you shouldn't eat too much of that sugar," Sarah commented, again scanning the directions they could take, and lazily poking his candy treat with her wand. "I'm not sure I want to be stuck in a maze with you if you're too twitchy." She'd heard from Miranda what he could be like. "Anyway," she clapped her hands together. "Which way? Left or right? I think I spotted a 2 that way," Another point of the wand, "and a 7 that way." She was wishing she had never come already.
