Water, flood, dungeons, cold, exhausted, frozen, sick, headache, blue, Rachel's thoughts were disarrayed and completely random as she focused on staying awake until she was dismissed to her bed. She tried not to think about the long climb to the Ravenclaw tower and instead thought about her warm bed, the chocolate frogs she had hidden under her pillow and the long-awaited sleep that she would have following this disastrous event.

She rested her head in her hand, and almost felt her eyelids closing. No, no, stay awake! After talking to Anna, she must at least be able to stay awake to hear the answer! Think, think, think of things that will keep you awake!! Her brain frantically searched for something to keep her occupied while her body wanted to simply curl up in a ball and sleep right here.

Aha! OWLs! Think of your exams! Almost instantly, she felt the exhausted settle on her but she no longer felt the need to sleep. OWLs... Scary stuff. She couldn't imagine the fact that in less than a year, her future will be settled. Everything she will be all depends on how well she does these exams- Why is everything black?!?!

THUNK! The fifth year's head hit the plate loudly as she passed out. Darkness.
