One of the branches waaaavveddddd to PRETTY YELLOW as she continued on her path. WillowTHEMAN had another door positioned just round the corner. It hoped PRETTY YELLOW would find it.
The moment the box had touched the Gryffindor's hand, a branch appeared out of nowhere, gently picked her up and rose into the air. It set the girl down, outside the maze. Cushions, a desk and a chalkboard had been placed here. The desk contained several boxes of chocolate.
The chalkboard read:
Congratulations! You are now outside the maze! Please make yourself comfortable as you wait for your classmates to join you. You may help yourself to some chocolate.
The branch lowered the small box the girl had picked up next to her. Then it waaaaved to her and disappeared.
WAHOOOOOOOO!
Kurumi hadn't expected the tree to physically pick her up, but at least it was gentle about the whole thing and it actually tickled a bit making Kurumi giggle as she rose into the air. It was almost as cool as flying...almost. At least it was better than flying on a mop. She would have to come back and give the Whomping Willow some special sugar water, or perhaps some of her secret cherry blossom tea recipe was in order.
Once she had been set down, she looked back at the tree who was now offering her a small box. She took it and then waved back at the branches as they vanished.
Exhausted, Kurumi flopped down onto some of the cushions and...
WAS THAT CHOCOLATE! Thank Merlin for that! First cookies and now chocolate?!
Sweeet! She took a piece of chocolate and began slowly chewing on it. Hogwarts professors sure knew how to make classes interesting
and delicious!
