Bending down Sarah removed her shoes and socks and moved them to one side.They were completely soaked through and her feet felt like blocks of ice,luckily Ryder had stepped in and helped her before the water got too high.A veritable knight in shining armour.
She turned to face him when he apologised. "Oh don't be sorry,I'm grateful that you did," she replied,before looking down to hide the blush in her cheeks. "I'm not a great fan of water and would probably have panicked,the water got high fast in the dungeons after all...." She looked back up and smiled at him.
She looked around to see if any of the Professor's were there to speak to.When she had talked to Dumont a few days earlier he'd said they had it under control,and she wanted to know what had gone wrong. "I hope they tell us something soon," she continued,swinging her legs under the table in an effort to get the feeling back in them, "I want to know where we're supposed to sleep!"
Ryder wanted to take his shoes off, but he wasn't really sure whether or not he should. But they were soaked. He was trying to concentrate on what she was saying, but it was hard when the water and cold were distracting him. While she was talking, he bent down, still looking up at her and slipped his shoes off. Socks too. "It would definitley be a good thing to know," he said, almost jokingly. Though, he really wanted to know where. "Maybe either Vanessa or Dom knows, we could always ask them," he suggested.

Pulling the bag that she had shoved her shoes in, which was quite heavy, on her shoulder, Vannie squealched along the hufflepuff table, dumping the bag of designer shoes on the table, smiling at Lyra.
"Can you make sure nobody steals these Lyra?" She asked quietly. That was the last thing she wanted.
After she had done that, she glanced around, noticing that Dominic was scolding someone. She raised a curious eyebrow at him, before turning to look at the other hufflepuffs.
"Is everyone okay?"
Ryder looked towards Vanessa when she asked how they were all doing and nodded. He hoped Sarah was okay too, but he'd let her answer. He turned and smiled softly at Sarah before he asked Vanessa, "Do you know where we're going to stay till our common room isn't flooded? And what about our stuff?"
