Daphne stood on the ledge as the water started to reach her feet. She looked out the window. It wouldn't be such a huge leap to the surface, but it would be uncomfortable. She pressed against the glass, but the window refused to open. "Oh no!" she wailed as the sound of the water became louder and louder.

Now it seemed she needed to get down into the odd water, but all Daphne could manage was to dip her toes in. Then she noticed the two little kids caught up in this mess. As a seventh year, Daphne needed to take charge, even if she wasn't comfortable with the situation.

Taking a deep breath, she prepared to hop down into the cold water. Then she felt something tug at her rob, causing her to slip and fall completely into the water. As she stood up, she felt her left ankle give way, she must've banged it on the window ledge. "Urgh!" she moaned, attempting to wade through the water. She grabbed a hold of a girl she had met, Diane. "OK, let's get out of here," she grumbled, extending her arm to a rather confused-looking girl with a cane. She had heard about the blind student here, but hadn't encountered her. "Hi, I'm Daphne, just hold onto me and I'll get you out of this," she reassured her, shouting somewhat to be heard over the churning. It was just her luck that she was nowhere near the stairs as this was happening.
