Don't disregard your doll just yet as you grumpily make your way back to the class area. The task isn't quite over.
Minerva fell to the shore exhausted when she finally got out of the lake. Air burned in her lungs as she started to breath again. "Mom, mom how did you..." she looked at the doll where her mom should have been. "Wait, what?" First anger boiled up after everything that had happened to her and then she shook her head with relief that her mother was safely still in hiding with the rest of her family. She sat up and picked up the doll, "Cute doll" she said quietly and forced herself to her feet walking slowly to join the rest of the group that had already made it out of the water.

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."

Minerva just looked at Professor Scabior breathing hard still from exhaustion. Really he was being sarcastic. She took her hair over her shoulder and began squeezing water out of it. Looking at the doll she smiled it was kind of fun no matter whether they tricked the students or not. She did get her wish in wanting to swim with the squid even if it wasn't really swimming with him.

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.
Minerva put her hair back over her shoulder after getting enough water out of it and placed the doll in her lap. Putting up her hand "Professor with teaching us the spell before to help protect us in the lake you were teaching us defense against a magic creature so that part of the lesson could have been for the care of magical creatures. Going into the lake and saving what we thought were are loved ones, but in reality was these cute little dolls was to show us a historical event and have us learn that event hands on. Which will have us remember it better then just talking to us and having us read." Minerva had heard her mom talk about hands on learning many times in the muggle classroom that she taught.
