He could see some students up ahead and he wanted to yell out for them to get out of the corridor but more water filled his mouth as he went under and once he could surface again, he spluttered and coughed. If this water was contaminated as well, he would personally hex Valon Kazimeriz himself.

As he got swept away with the water, he spotted a small girl trying to cast a spell and he tried once again to yell at her to get out of the corridor but it was too late. Marcus collided with the little Slytherin and she got dragged in as well. He groaned loudly and moved Tinka to his right hand while he grabbed the young girl with his left, trying his best to hold her up as well.

Okay he had always worked out and kept himself in shape but even he could not hold three house elves and one twelve year old girl. He was finding it difficult to breathe and he had a severe stitch in his side. He then heard another voice telling him to grab the bench. With what? he wanted to scream back but just did not have the energy for it.

The water was simply moving to fast and hard for him to do much at all and he tried lifting Tinka up in arms hoping that she would grab hold of the bench but all that happened was they crashed into the bench the girl was holding.

Ouch!

That was going to bruise.

Marcus looked behind him to see that the girl had fallen into the water also. Geez, he was supposed to be saving them not trying to drown them, he sure hoped that she could swim because he was out of hands right now. He turned back to see another student and...

What. Was. He. Doing?

Oh he'd have to be a Gryffindor!

"Get out of the water now!" He finally managed to yell before swallowing more of the filthy water. How was he going to grab a rope when his hands were already full. The weight of the elves and the young girl were really starting to weigh him down.

Josh could have his guitar.

Andrew could have his money, he would no doubt love that.

His parents can have the houses and whatever else was left over.

Hogwarts could have his books and DADA objects.

Oh bugger that's right he had never gotten around to making a will had he? Didn't legends live on forever? In his mind they did!!
Here they come, she thought as she extended the bench as far as her arms and robes would allow. But as the group approached she spied another student-- nay two-- appear by the rushing tide. One fell in and the other collided with the group she was just trying to help. Oh this is just getting better and better.

"Come on grab it, anybody!" she yelled as she lowered the bench further into the water. But just as she did the group ran smack onto the bench instead. Oops. Not quite what she intended.

The collision with the drowning crowd lost her grip onto the bench and dragged her back into the water. She felt a sharp tug on her shoulders as she realized her robe is all whats keeping her from being carried away along with the group. For a brief moment panic started grip her, as she realized that if she followed them downstream, she would have to give up the relative safety from behind the painting. She looked back at her robe still tied to the crossbar, and saw it starting to rip under her own weight. She turned back at the drowning crowd, starting to get that sinking feeling, Here we go. she thought as the robe finally ripped off the bar and she joined the melee.
