Stairs he thought pushing himself further. You'd think he'd be used to this, but no. Stopping for a brief moment he took out his wand and performed the bubble-head charm on himself, breathing deeply as the bubble went around his head. At least he could perform magic in crisis he mused as he kept a hand on the wall to guide him.
He finally spotted people and a professor. Sighing deeply he waded towards them and, with his hand still pressed against the wall he looked at professor Dumont with a glossy look, probably from the icky water. Please don't tell me to go to the hospital again he thought desperately, having had enough of that place. It was a good thing he didn't have a bag, though the thought saddened him briefly.
"
Mr. Cullack!" Kapoor's voice greeted in a cheerful tone that suggested nothing of the mess that the first floor corridor had become. "
Stick to the wall lad, stick to the wall." He said encouragingly, seeing the brilliant adaption of the student to keep himself afloat, but it was barely audible above the sound of the rushing water. Well, they were either going to drown or get the heck out of that water if they didn't move. "
Alright, students, let us head for the stairs and up to the second floor corridor, shall we. We'll check for injuries and if you're alright, you ought to go on up to your common rooms." Aaand, hopefully they could hear him, against the rush of water, and its vast echo against the walls of the corridor. He moved with some, difficulty against the current and made it to the water-leveled step of the stairway up to the second floor, hoping others would follow.
