Jacob Still under the water, was holding onto his breath, with his eyes closed. Which was proving difficult, he was never good at holding his breath under water. Which was odd since he lived on a boat. Jacob opened his eyes and saw a tentecal. Eeep...Jacob nudged the broom backwards. Which made it kind of difficult to hold on from down here

Finally trusting his legs enough to hold onto the broom by them selves, he dropped his hands so he could swing him self up better. He started with his upper body, then going through his entire body. He swung from right to left, then left to right. After a few times to get his momentum up, he swung his hardest, and just got above the surface. But he didnt swing hard enough. So jacob took a deep breath right before going back into the water. He was so suprised that his legs could hold on this long. This time jacob got enough momentum and this time got it just right. Landing right on the broom he angrily looked down at the broom. "Never Do That Again!" he yelled at the broom.

Now jacob was holding on pretty tightly, his knuckles turning white. He looked acroos the lake and saw that he was still going in the right direction. But now Jacob gained some altitude so that if the broom ever does it again, he wont drown. Now jacob sped forward at the same speed of less slow, and tried to grab a ring. But the broom seemed to not like the water, and right before he grabbed the ravenclaw blue ring. The broom Stopped abruptly, and he was sent forward. It was a good thing his gripp was tight or he wouldnt be holding on still. Jacob puuled himself up with some strength he never knew he had. Maybe it was the giant squid...the adrenaline of not wanting to get puuled down to the depthes. But it didnt matter what it was, he puuled him self up and re-saddled on the broom. Now going for his second attempt at the ring. Maybe the broom just didnt like blue...darn ravenclaw hating broom.
