Finally reaching the shoreline, Sky pushed her mother onto the dry ground, then flopped down onto the ground herself to completely catch her breath. Seriously, whichever professor had come up with that idea needed their head examined.
SPOILER!!: Professor Scabior

Scabior blamed the children who had taken forever to collect their so called hostages. Instead of going 'wow, they collected someone that I love, I better bring them to the top', they acted like 'wow, they collected someone the I love, let me stare at them in shock like a moron'.
Pulling himself out of the water, Scabior quickly shook his head, making drops from his hair fly, before walking over to where the students gathered. "Good job-" He said loudly, sneering and clapping his hands together . "You've managed to save the great Harry Potter....doll, all of you must be.. so proud."
Upon hearing Professor Scabior's voice sarcastically congratulating them on rescuing [a doll[/I], Sky looked around to where she had pushed 'her mom's ashore. Indeed there was the Harry Potter doll lying right were her mother had been. Ooo… That.
Wasn't. Cool. Instead of taking it out on the doll, however, (it was kinda cute after all) she picked it up and carried it over to where her classmates where gathered.
SPOILER!!: Professor Williamson

His mesh bag with the lobablug was slung over his shoulder but before returning to the class, William summoned a bucket to his side, filled it up with lake water, and then carefully, gently, set the lobalug within. He set it to the side and marched up to the class.
Man. Wetsuits were so much more awkward on land... when they were wet. Shifting from one awkward, no longer webbed foot to the other, Williamson cleared his throat and frowned at his coworker. "No need to berate the kids, Scabbe--- Scabior."
They'd all put forth a decent effort. That was what counted. He looked to the class then and gave them an tight-lipped grimace smile. "So..... I can tell by most of your faces that you aren't exactly.... pleased with us right now...."
Nervous!Gulp!
"But, I assure you, despite what my colleague might have said," he resisted the urge to smack Dash on the back of the head, "There was a method to the madness. The dolls," he eyed the Ravenclaw girl, "were charmed to look like your loved ones while underwater, with the charm obviously wearing off the instant you reached land. So no, we didn't capture or attack any of your family or friends, and no, we didn't set out with the goal to drown anyone." And hopefully the students that had still been down there when he left had surfaced by now.
"So...." to go back to his question, "Why do you think we sent you down to the bottom of the lake in a modified re-enactment of the 1994 Triwizard Tournament? What sort of.... affective objective do you think we were trying to accomplish here?"
The first question was basically the second only reworded for the younger kids. Heh. See what a good teacher he was? Totally not an evil dark wizard hellbent on drowning the population of Hogwarts. Totally not.
Sky raised an eyebrow at that question. There had been an objective other than torturing them? She couldn't think of any lesson that could have been learned from that. Well, there was one, but Sky was afraid it would sound silly. She decided to voice it anyway.
"Sir, was it to teach us that not everything is as it seems?" she said. Well, it kind of made sense, you know, with the whole doll thing and all.
