Sir Awesome. Sigh.
Something must be wrong.
His eyes turned to see Ellie. He knew what she was doing. And he could've been happy about that if it weren't for the tiny fact that he had no idea what to answer. "For all I know...chocolate" he couldn't help but look around in search for Saylen, she'd better not listen that. "But, it is rather generic, you know, they don't say they eat something specific" which makes it harder for him to figure out.
"Maybe they do eat chocolate.." Ellie shrugged. It was possible, wasn't it.
"If they don't eat something specific, you can't tell what they don't eat. You can't be completely wrong. Maybe it depends on the individual niffler." Quote:

Oh, Fletcher! She turned to look at the maze.

Maybe no one would even notice him stumbling out? He was so small he probably wasn't even visible from the great distance of the stands.... were it not for the Big Announcement just before he emerged, Fletcher was certain that would be the case.
Puffing a little as he relaxed from the stress of the second task, Toddler!Fletcher came to a stop by one of the front benches and flopped his tiny frame down. He let his arms rest lifelessly on either side of the bench. To the casual observer Fletcher may have appeared dead, though he did manage to still hold on to his precious wand in one hand and the tiny treasure chest in the other.
Who knew being little could be so hard?
And... was that him?!.....
Why was he tiny?

"LiL Lockhart," Fletcher sighed, not even bothering to open his eyes. He knew who it was from the title the boy had used to address him. "It looks like I am the little one now, eh?"
He sighed deeply again and sat up now, his tiny legs so short they barely swept the top of the grass from the bench. "I uh, took a shrinking solution. And then I made my own antidote." And obviously he had made it wrong.... or something, because he had not finished growing.
It would have been way cooler if he could have come out of the maze leprechaun-sized. But this toddler thing was really cramping his style.
She knew Treyen had waved himself off, but she followed anyway. What could she say, she was curious.
Her mouth dropped when she heard what had happened. Just for a moment, though. Before she started to laugh.
It was funny. Anyone could admit that.
"'Least you're safe." She nodded.
