Varius entered the watery doom that was his common room - rhyme for tha win! He noticed the unconcious boy Midgessa had been talking about to the Professors. He felt kind of silly for not realising he had been there before. He removed his wand with the intention to do something when he realised... he didn't really know any magic useful enough to deal with this... unless he vanished the boy?

Nah, he'd just settle with throwing a few personal artifacts in a bag and then grabbing a bucket... ya know, to scoop out the water, since clearly the Professor's were just useless at coping with this.
