We've taken what you'll sorely miss,
An hour long you'll have to look,
And recover what we took,
But past an hour - the prospect's black,
Too late, it's gone, it won't come back."
This 'thing' the students had been searching for without knowing it was suddenly illuminated in the light cast by a passing school of anglerfish.

....People. They appeared to be tiny people at first glance, all suspended from some sort of merperson bridge between two of their underwater structures. The tiny people all appeared to be strung up by their wrists, like tiny little hostages.

In reality, each was simply charmed to look like a person highly valued by each of the students; but in this dark, murky madness, there is no way the students could possibly know that. To them, it seems their professors have played a mean trick and taken their loved ones hostage.

An hour long they had to look; but how long did it take to swim all the way here?
Desiree had been swimming for what felt like forever, and by now she couldn't even see her own hand in front of her. They had to be getting close..

Finally they were there, but it took her a minute to figure out where "there" was. Suddenly the place was lit up, merpeople! They were singing. She stared in awe at them (although they were kinda intimidating) before her face fell into a look of pure terror. Was that..? But how..? She was in France, no, no she had most definitely gone back to France..

Desiree was panicking, "Liliana!" she tried to yell out, but it simply came out as jumbled up sounds and bubbles. She swam over to where she was. She looked in horror at the row of people, but tried to calm herself down. They aren't hurt, the Professors wouldn't hurt anyone, they aren't even in real danger..

Seeing other students grabbing their person, she held out her wand "Diffindo!" she managed to get out, suprisingly it worked and the ropes fell off. Her sister began to fall, but Desiree caught her. Desiree struggled under the weight, but immediately began swimming up, she didn't have very much time, hadn't Professor Scabior said the gillyweed only lasted an hour? She shuddered at the thought, and swam faster.
