William nodded, or tried too. "Yes I'm fine I think. If the water gets any higher I'll be swimming though." he replied, smiling at Dumont with a look that read I-hate-water-with-a-passion! He had to stop to catch his breath, his muscles beginning to scream in protest at he unnecessary feeling of the water pushing him forwards, backwards and into the wall. Luckily he hadn't hurt himself like last time, which meant hopefully no trip to the nurse. Again.

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.

He nearly jumped at the sound of another professor, almost loosing his grip on the precious life-saving wall. He grinned back though, keeping himself calm and nodded, "Sure thing professor!" he replied, thankful the walls were made of stones with convenient little grippers he could clamp onto. The current was strong yes, and he was surprised he hadn't slipped and fallen. He barely heard what Kapoor had said, something about sanitary conditions? What did that have to do with them nearly drowning. The water noise was loud, making his ears pop almost in an airplane type way and he wished he had gum to chew right now to alleviate the pressure. But thankfully the stairs were just a few feet away from him. He. Could. Do. It! Cursing his shortness he struggled the last few feet, feeling his foot hit the stairs. With a burst of energy he followed Kapoor, his arms against the wall and stopped beside him on the stairs shaking.
