~~Severus Snape~~

~~Snape's spell hardens the ceiling holding it firmly.~~

~~His second spell cracks the earthen wall, a small section where it hit falling away, leaving a small gap.~~

~~Through the gap can be seen the other half of the room, empty but with an open passageway leading on to the next room. The ceiling there is reinforced enough to hold, should the wall fall.~~

~~The little girl shudders as she fears that the room is about to fall on her.~~

*He nods understandingly.*

Best leave me here, I'll only slow you down.

Chances are the Dark Lord will have me retrieved anyway. I'm sure he has more use for me elsewhere. If not, death could be sweet release.

*Moves to the gap he has broken into the wall, peering to the other side. It's obvious the other half of the room is going to hold when the rest of the wall breaks down. Again, he aims his wand at the wall, about to use the blasting curse again when Keegan's voice reaches his ears. The man's comment causes Severus to turn about and face him, those cold black eyes glaring to the injured man.*

If I were to release you from your stocks you would not be free. We are all just puppets for the Dark Lord to play with freely, we are here at his mercy.

*With that said he turns sharply from the man, facing the wall again, and raises his wand.*

Deprimo!

*The wall crumbles more, enough space to squeeze through, and he moves forward. No intentions of freeing the man, or allowing the muggle to continue on with him.*

[Jean Keegan]

Good luck with whatever he throws at you next.

This puppet thing is getting old.

*He lets his head drop weakly and coughs again.*

~~The muck has no effect on the lock.~~

*Is gutted when nothing happens*

*Not sure what to do he sits and ponders the note*

[Thails Labyrinth]

~~Severus Snape~~

~~The wall crumbles enough to allow enough space for a person to squeeze through.~~

~As Snape begins to make his way through it, the muggle girl runs up behind him and tries to clamber up herself.~~

~~Being so small, she doesn't manage it and notices that Snape is not trying to help her.~~

Mister? Are you going to leave me here?

~~The open passage leads on down another corridor into a small room where a puzzle is laid out.~~

~~The wall ahead of him has various symbols on it.~~

~~A sun, a drop of water, a flame, a bird, a flower and a snake.~~

~~An inscription by the entrance reads.~~

Use your magic to satisfy the symbols.

[Barney Colsworth]

*He sits next to Rodolphus.*

I've never been good at riddles. Barney's the name.

So how did you get through the other task? I used a flame freezing charm on the fireball. That sure tickled when it filled up the room. It was soon put out though when the water level rose. Had to quickly do myself a bubble head charm and swam through the cave into here. Been stuck here ever since, however long thats been.

~~Zero Quinn~~

~~Sebastian Bordeaux~~

~~His charms successfully lighten the weights and the portcullis opens for him.~~

~~Further down the corridor, the floor is a metallic conveyor belt traveling towards him at a speed that would make it extremely difficult to walk against.~~

*Squints at the conveyor belt from a distance, striding toward it with minimal interest, already finding the obstacle bores him at second glance.*

Well...

*Fixes his hair, thinking that he'll just slow down the obstacle altogether.*

Impedimenta!

*Waits for the belt to slow down enough for him to venture onto the stretch of space.*

[Gabriel Rosier]

~~Upon placing the kneazle on the running man, the final panel is satisfied.~~

~~A door opens leading to the next challenge.~~

~~The room is a very tall cave.~~

~~There are several rock outcroppings on the walls, an exit at the highest one.~~

~~The lowest is some twelve feet from the ground, with a rope ladder allowing anyone to climb up to it.~~

~~The others are similar distances apart but without any means of reaching them.~~

**Extends his lit wand and intensifies the brightness in order to see everything clearly.**

**Climbs easily up the rope ladder then casts a Hovering Charm on himself, exercising great care to not break concentration and fall. Finally he reaches the last outcropping, breathing a sigh of relief. He crosses the space toward the exit, hoping he is nearly finished.**

*Looks up at the man, slightly distracted*

Hm? Oh I'm Rodolphus.

I used a Reductor curse and then put the flames out with Aquamenti then used a Hot Air charm to get rid of the water.

How did you manage to get in the Labyrinth?

*Whilst talking to the man sighs as he thinks about the riddle of the note*

*Suddenly has an interesting thought*

A hole leading in, a hole leading out, we connect to a cave that is slimy throughout. Could the answer be right in front of me? My nose? 2 holes, 1 in, 1 out and both are sure slimey throughout.

I wonder..

*Suddenly gets up and walks to the door*

*Looks at the lock, wiping some of the muck out of it*

Yes, I think it might possibly be...

*Braces himself for what he is about to do*

*Sticks his nose into the lock*

[Valley Tayllore]

~~Valley Tayllore~~

~~The spells successfully slow the platforms to allow her easier passage across.~~

~~The exit leads down a narrow passageway into a fairly large round room.~~

~~There is a lever near her entrance.~~

~~A locked door is at the opposite end of the room.~~

~~Faint sounds of growling can be heard.~~

*walks through the exit, panting from nerves, her heart beating hard but relief spreading over her*

*relief leaves when she enters a large round room with a lever and a door with growling behind it - not the most promising accommodations*

*pulls the lever, knowing she'll never know for sure what's behind the door until she let's it in*

[Thails Labyrinth]

~~Sebastian Bordeaux~~

~~The conveyor slows enough for Sebastian to cross with relative ease.~~

~~Finally the corridor ends, and he finds himself in the same room as Zero.~~

~~As soon as he sets foot inside the room, the passageway closes behind him and a shackle just like the one on Zero's wrist appears on his attaching him to the wall opposite.~~

~~Suddenly inside his shackled arm he feels a bulge grow and a slight stinging sensation.~~

~~Zero Quinn~~

~~As the shackle binds Sebastian to the wall opposite him, he feels a bulge in his arm that stings slightly as though trying to pierce him.~~

~~Erupttat reappears from his passageway.~~

~~Gabriel Rosier~~

~~His passageway leads outside to join Voldemort and Lucretia.~~

~~Rodolphus LeStrange~~

~~As Rodolphus places his nose in the groove a loud click is heard and the door slides open.~~

~~The door leads on to another room where another test awaits.~~

~~The room is fairly large, with a big wooden door locked magically opposite his entrance.~~

~~A thick glass trunk is next to the door, with an inscription reading:~~

Fill the container with the creatures.

~~Upon reading the inscription a swarm of imps and gnomes pour out of a chute in the ceiling and begin running around the room.~~

~~Valley Tayllore~~

~~As she pulls the lever, a huge mountain troll is released and charges straight for her.~~

[Barney Colsworth]

*Before he gets a chance to answer, Rodolphus solves the riddle.*

Hey you did it.

*He speaks while rushing to his side.*

*He pats him on the back and speaks while readying himself to follow his new companion.*

So anyway, I was stuck down here as a test. I was trying to learn a little about dark magic and the like, but uh.. I guess I don't quite have what it takes. Charms are more my thing.

[Lord Voldemort]

<He bows as Rosier finds his way out of the labyrinth.>

So, you are second.

As a little reward you may choose to disadvantage an opponent. Choose a curse to inflict on one, or a spell that they may not use for the rest of their challenges.

~~As the shackle binds Sebastian to the wall opposite him, he feels a bulge in his arm that stings slightly as though trying to pierce him.~~

~~Erupttat reappears from his passageway.~~

*Can hear footsteps growing closer, and he moves along the wall, trying to see past the doorway and who may be approaching. The chain binding him to the wall isn't long enough for him to get a good look, and he stretches his body in a vain attempt to see the through the door. Failing he sighs heavily, giving up by leaning against the wall.*

*Within moments Sebastian's glorious face appears, heart skipping a beat, Zero blinks in disbelief before calling out to warn his love.*

Sebastian! No, don't co-

*Is too late, his boyfriend has entered the chamber, and is also magically shackled to the wall. The moment this happens a sharp piercing feeling is felt underneath the cuff itself. Gasping and wincing, Zero grasps the tight shackle, trying to move his wrist. Failing, he lifts his eyes to the fair wizard he so adores, and he worries for him.*

*Before any words can escape Zero's lips the wall opens again, and Eruptatt returns, anger growing within the wizard upon seeing the beastly man, blaming him for Sebastian's presence.*

[Peon Erupttat]

*He checks Sebastian's shackle as he had done Zero's.*

*Upon being satisfied, he steps back towards the centre of the room.*

*He looks between the two wizards.*

Your key is in his arm, yours is in his. Play.

*He marches back to his passage which closes behind him.*

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*Groans sharply as his svelte frame is chained to the wall, wincing as he feels the painfully jagged object inside his arm bulge. As soon as he notices that his boyfriend is also in the room he blanches, assuming the worst, hoping that the Dark Lord does not know about their still new relationship.*

*Struggles stubbornly against the shackles, gaping thickly at Zero, shouting the first coherent thought he has.*

Are you quite all right, mon - Urm... Zero?

*Half-listens to Erupttat, hardly believing what he hears. Death Eaters could be twisted but this was extreme in his opinion. Overwhelmed with confusion he imagines that he will have to hurt Zero in some way.*

*Gazes worriedly at Zero, looking puzzled and concerned.*

I - I couldn't hurt you, my radiant boy.

*Flinches, acutely aware of the pain within his arm.*
