She scrambled out from under the desk coughing and choking and a bit on fire, though she hadn’t realized it yet.

Trying not to panic, she quickly scanned the room for some kind of emergency shut off switch for the whole room but couldn’t find one. Grabbing Conley’s arm, she stood on her tiptoes to yell in his ear to make sure he could hear her. ”Whatever you do, don’t put water on the —,” and it was at that moment she felt the flame on her pant leg licking her skin. ”FIRE!!!!!” she screamed both out of panic and pain.

The noise was still happening. The screen still flashing. Conley’s heart was now racing like he was running a marathon and he might have jumped back from the computer a bit. Ilse’s reappearance didn’t help. Why was she just standing there? There was smoke and noise coming from the confounded box in front of her. And all he could think of was why? Why had he followed Ilse into this horrible room?

”Water?!” Conley yelling above the noise which now included Ilse shrieking. Wasn’t that a bad idea? Water and technology? He was pretty certain it was, but then – Oh Merlin’s Saggy Old Underpants – Ilse was on fire! ”Fire!” he shouted at her. ”Ilse you’re on fire!”

Acting with instinct he pointed his wand at her and shouted, ”Aguamenti!”. Most of the water hit Ilse’s leg, but a bit hit one of the plugs.
