No need to alarm him overly much. Stretching her wand arm down a little, to make sure she had as good aim as she could in the awkward position, she spoke. "Diff . . ."

She trailed off when she heard another voice say her name, thankful she hadn't finished the spell before her distraction. Tilting her head to look over, not willing to bang the tender spot on the back of her head again, she smiled as she saw Livvy. "Hey Livvy," she replied. "Unfortunate result of the latest act of the mad Hogwarts flooder," she added in explanation as the younger girl turned her attention to William. "Um, aren't the kitchens flooded?," she asked as the suggestion of getting hot tea was made. Which made her wonder where half the food in the Great Hall was coming from in the first place. Fruit could come from the grounds. And obviously William had brought his own cake. But everything else came from somewhere.

She broke free of her little tangent as she heard William say he was okay. Eep! Bad time to lose track of her thoughts. Glancing around, she realized Livvy had left again, then shifted to slide off the bench carefully. "Hey William? You think if I try and help lift you, we can manage to at least get you back on the bench?," she asked, crouching to look under the table again. At least if he was sitting normally, he could finish his sugar rush while she tried to use Diffindo again. And maybe if he was more distracted, she wouldn't be so scared of the spell.

"Wha? Oh right, yeah that might be easier." and safer for me he finished silently as he grabbed hold of the bench and slid over. it was so easy to slide, perhaps too easy on the ice as he gripped the bench with one hand, turned and grabbed the bench with his other hand, now facing the front, (back?) of the room. He was a strong kid, thanks to the many hours of running around and playing baseball at home so it was simple for him to hoist himself up - if his wrist wasn't throbbing that is. Grinding his teeth he began the pull, lifting his lower body until he was almost hitting his head under the table before sliding his head onto the bench and pulling himself up completely. he was now sitting on the bench his frezzing feet under him. "That's better, don't know wy I didn't think of that myself." He said rubbing his wrist absently.

Now that he was up and looking around he could finally see the Gryffindor table and the mayhem that was going on there. Still amazed that no professor had come running in demanding they all leave he suddenly remembered the kitchens were flooded and inwardly groaned. He hoped the girl hadn't actually gone down there, though there was probably huge signs posted telling anyone not too. Turning back to Elizabeth he nodded, "Okay all is clear there." he said nodding to the icy bottom of the floor.

Livvy shuddered as she walked carefully back to the Ravenclaw House Table with a cup in her hand. She had found a tea bag from someone and shoved it in the cup. Now she just needed water. She walked towards the group and lifted her leg over the bench. Water.... hmm... water. Ah-ha! Livvy reached out for a goblet. Please don't let it be drank from already, she thought as she poured water into the cup and used a spoon to mix it. Eeee.... nice and warm tea.

"Hear. It might not be as hot as you want it... but it's still warm tea. Drink it as we figure out a way to get you out," Livvy said, as she handed to the boy and flopped onto her stomach so she could see him better from under the table again. "Any ideas?" she asked Elizabeth, with a small grin.

Taking the warm tea he grinned at her. "Thanks. This'll do." he said in reply to Livvy. he took a sip and sighed before putting his wand on the table. Suddenly the cake didn't appeal to him; it was obvious he wouldn't be able to enjoy it while he was still trapped. He was now hating himself for taking the plunge into the lake, for not keeping his shoes out of harms way and for coming into the great hall. There had been too many chocolate lovers in the common room though, and he certainly didn't want them grabbing at his cake.
