 open claim for someone who needs help swimming to the surface in here <3 astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf
It was painful - exciting in a way too - but PAINFUL and the worst part of it all was that the grindylow was NOT budging since it managed to sink its teeth pretty far into his muscly legs. Though, thankfully, in the next moment there was a flash of light and someone's spell had struck the creature and dislodged it from his leg. Eyes frantically looking around, Derf just barely managed to catch the Slytherin girl, Lydia, pointing her wand in his direction for just a second before she began swimming like mad towards the surface.
He would thank her once he got out of the water THAT was for sure.
AND THERE WAS BARTHOLOMEW HENRY! FOR THE LOVE OF MERLIN THANK MERLIN.
It was complete chaos, and all the motion between people and grindylow and spells was making the visibility in turbulent and murky water even more difficult to process for his gillyweed enhanced eyes. But the fifth year continued to blast spells when he hear the holy voice that was Professor Wayland's. Well, yeah, that was. Yeah. Okay. SWIMMING!
Spotting an injured classmate nearby, Derf pushed through his own agony as a steady stream of crimson oozed from his own leg and swam towards them. Quickly draping their arm over his shoulders, the fifth year kicked firmly with his feet and, for a time, the adrenaline was enough to dull the pain. But soon it was more than a throb and he could feel his muscles giving out from the puncture wound. "H-Hold on to me," he instructed frantically as he readied his wand. "ASCENDIO!"
AND SHOOOOOOOOOOOM up they went until their heads popped out of the water and into the crisp and glorious fresh air. Now to just swim to shore, which would be accomplished with some difficulty considering how far out they were, but Derf tried his best with a side paddle while not letting go of his companion.
