Uh. oh.

"Is it too late to try and turn this thing all the way around?"

...It was only a moment before she got her answer, though it was not the one she'd been hoping for. The fireballs were coming at them and it was all she could do to brace herself for their immediate-

oh.

She shivered, but that was all. They were safe. They were lost, but they were safe.

Thank Merlin.

She could hear her boatmates talking and deciding but with her hands over her ears, it was all muffled.

With her eyes closed, she wasn't prepared when the boat finally came to a stop and she fell from her seat to the floor of the boat. Eyes opening she looked around, "We stopped?" Chloe got herself back up on her feet and followed everyone up the muddy bank. Her green eyes watched for the ones that joined in her in her boat, maybe they were to stay together.

Once listening to the professor it seemed that it didn't matter, but maybe she would try to hang with them anyway. They were good boatmates so they would be good battlements too, right? Even though this wasn't a battle, but she could pretend it was.

The third-year lifted her wand, "Lumos" That would do to start out, but she knew she would soon need to do more.

Her major takeaway from her time on the water was that she was rubbish at rowing and hopefully if she was ever stuck out on a boat in the real world, she'd be lucky enough to have an experienced oarsman with her.

As soon as they struck dry land, the sixth year was up and out of the boat, any anxieties she'd been feeling quickly dissipating. While hinkypunks were what they were supposed to be worrying about, she'd been more focused on her lack of swimming ability before, even if the headmaster had insisted they were safe out there. Now she could take back some of the control and do what she enjoyed most, charms.

"If anyone needs help, let me know." This was mostly directed towards Vita's boat mates, as they were close by, but she'd be willing to extend her offer to other younger students, too.

Movement in the distance alerted her to the arrival of the hinkypunks and she lifted her wand, allowing memory to guide her movements as she uttered, "Lumos maxima." The light was strong and bright and she watched with a satisfied smile as it seemed to change the hinkypunks in her vicinity. This was better. She had this.

Indigo's guess had proved to be right - in assuming that they wouldn't know how to turn even if they have wanted to, not about which way was the right way. Continuing straight had turned out to be the wrong course to take. He'd become aware of that fact based on the headmaster's voice floating farther away. Just seconds later came the fireballs. Indigo gripped the side of the boat even harder, but relaxed slightly when he felt more of a chill than the heat one would expect from a fireball.

They didn't continue floating for much longer before their boat hit the edge of the river. Luckily they were back with the headmaster even after taking a wrong turn (or rather, failing to take the right turn). Indigo quickly climbed out of the boat, relieved that this portion of the lesson was over. Bring on the hinkypunks, as long as he didn't have to get back into a stupid boat. It hadn't even crossed his mind yet to wonder whether they would have to cross back over the river to get out of the classroom.

Lumos maxima and flipendo were both simply spells. At least, in his opinion they were. He'd just gotten an O on this Charms OWL thank you very much. Helping small children was not something Indigo did often so he was going to let others help out the first years. Like Vita, who was already offering help if anyone needed it. He did glance at the younger girl who'd been on their boat - whose name he'd forgotten, and wasn't positive he'd ever actually heard - who was using lumos instead of lumos maxima. He didn't offer help but he did stick around there. In his mind they were teammates now, and it only made sense to work together.

Vita was close by too, and he watched as she solidified a hinkypunk. Should he flipendo it for her? Would that be good teamwork or would that be stealing her thunder? While he was anxiously considering both options the movement of a second hinkypunk caught his eye. "Lumos maxima." He watched as that hinkypunk solidified not far from Vita's. Problem solved.
