I don’t trust him

Maybe blame professor Quirrell but I don’t trust stuttering idiots. The fact he keeps choosing the wrong/difficult paths could mean his magic is gone and is guessing or couldn’t manage his magic in that dungeon but….theres a third option. He could be wanting these guys to die so he can get what’s at the end of the dungeon. He could also be working for the necromancer (I doubt he is one bc Riley and book guy would have been able to recognize this).
