The floors are ankle-deep in water. We are evacuating students to the Great Hall pending your instruction." The qilin took off at great speed, heading toward Bontecou's office.
"Right...detention halls," Anna said, stopping just briefly to listen to his other instructions. Hopefully Clifford and Evangeline were getting all the Slytherins out the Common Room right now, though. "Oh, sir, the Head Boy, Clifford, and the prefect, Evangeline, are working to escort the Slytherin students out their Common Room as we speak. They were doing so when I left to come make sure you were okay. Hopefully they've nearly evacuated the place by now." Even so, the area would be worth a look, just to make sure no one had been left behind. She waited while the professor sent his qilin warning to the headmaster. Hopefully the message would reach him, as Anna still knew him to be missing in action. "Alright, sir! The detention halls, it is!"

Water continued seeping in, rising fast. It was now at waist level and continually rising... The water was cold and dark, green, and murky... and no spell was going to stop its ascent.
Ohh. Oh, no. This...was...not...good. No, no. Not good at all. Oh, no! Swim for your lives!!! Eyes wide and death practically staring her in the eyes, Anna turned and swam out the door. Hopefully she'd make it to the detention halls before her head was entirely submerged.
