AJ looked around, still a loner and sighed, then spotted a few other loners, and wondered if she should go over there.

"Come on now, class. You can do it. I know you all are very smart. Anyone got anything good yet? Or are the bubbles distracting you lot?" Lainey laughed at them. Most of them had bubble beards or hats - whether they knew it or not.

Tasha hopped off the side of the pool and made her way to the other side where she saw another loner like her self. "You wanna work on this together?"

Encouraged by Patrick's nod, Turquoise continued:

"And you could use Transfiguration to your aid by Transfiguring youself as well. For example into a mole, and you could then dig yourself out from under said rock or tree. Or Transfigure the tree into a reed."

AJ bit her lip and shrugged, "sure, umm... alright." she said a bit dissapointed. she had been really hoping to get to work with Rave, she'd seen her around alot, with Lua, and was Lua's sister she knew, and she was a Slytherin like herself, however she'd never got to do much with her or even around her. AJ would've liked to know Rave a bit more, but apparetnly not this class she wouldn't get to. she looked to the gryff and forced a smile which quickly faded away.

"I guess you could always use transfiguration?" Phoebe said thinking. "Maybe a mole or a burroeing animal. That is probably very difficult. If you were under a rock...You could blow youself up" Phoebe said exitedly, then noticing the others puzzled looks she added. "I mean like a balloon. Then you would lift the rock up as you floated into the sky and far away." She smiled a little imagining herself as a balloon.

Katie with a puzzled said " thats not a bad idea what do you think Alicia?"
*Katie still thinking*

Tasha noticed the dissapointed look on AJ's face as she had her eye on another set of students. "They friends of yours?" Tasha asked. "Its cool if you'd rather work with them, cause I'm no good at this stuff anyway. You'll probably get your house more points with them as partners." Not being upset at all. "Why don't you go on over?" Tasha encouraged.

"Yeah but those are only the transfiguration possibilties what about the charms he could have used," he thought for a moment, "He could have levitated the rock or tree with wingardium leviosa." continued patrick hoping that Prancie or Michael might give an answer. On reflection he thought that Nimue was unlikely to have made it so simple to get free. "That's only a suggestion of course, it's probably too simple to really be the answer." he added.

Alicia looked quizzically over at Phoebe. "So, youre saying, that we could levitate the rock, or, transfigure the rock into an animal?" she said. "Thats it!!" she siad happily. "Transfiguration!!! Youre a second year Phoebe, you should know some of this stuff, genius!" she said, smiling. Commenting Phoebe. "But could we? Transfigure a humungous, tonne-heavy stone into a plant, or a blade of grass, or even an animal?" Alicia said. "We could always try" she added.

AJ shrugged and smiled, "no they got a full group i think, why don't we get started?" she said floating around and spinning in a circle, "alright, first off: i think if you were under a rock, you could levitate the rock off of you. easiest way. but if not... umm... you could diffindo the rock into tiny peices and then just get up... or you could always just lay there and die depending on how big the rock was. if it was too big it would crush you right away and no time to use anything to get it off of you. but... however i dont' think we're supposed to be thinking that.... well then you could do any of those things, or transfigure yourself into something much stronger, like a bear, or the rock into something much smaller, like a sack of feathers." she said shrugging, "What do you think?" she dove under and came back up to get the hair out of her eyes.

"Yeah, levitation might work on the rock, if it's not too heavy and big. I don't know how easy it is to levitate a tree, though, with its roots in the ground.. Hmm."

Turquoise watched an orange bubble float up towards them. It smelled faintly of satsumas.

"If you can Apparate, then you could Apparate from underneath the rock. But if we want charms, then besides wingardium leviosa there's the Banishing Charm, which is the opposite of Accio.. I think. Or diffindo, to split up the rock into two, but that might be dangerous to you, to have big chunks or rock fly around."

Turquoise was getting excited, thinking up all kinds of possibilities.

"Oh.. oh, I know! First, you could set the tree on fire. Then put the flame-freezing charm on yourself so you wouldn't burn along, and just sit and wait for the tree to be reduced to ashes around you. Tadaa!"

She scratched her nose and smiled, feeling accomplished, and looked at the other members of her group.

"I think you are like way better at this than me. Easiest way, I think is to transfigure the rock. Oh wait! You could use that spell that breaks stuff. I can't remember the name of it though." Tasha said as she looked cock-eyed at a stone statue of a mermaid beside the tub.

"Coooooool!" exclaimed Patrick "Yeah that might really work!" he smiled at Turquoise she seemed to think up everything.

Ariana was floating in the corner, saddened that no one had asked her to be a part of the group. It was getting very tiring, being alone all the time with no friends or anyone to talk too. She looked around, hopeful to find someone else who didn't have any members yet, but only saw groups of students talking quietly. She stayed where she was, sighed and thought of a way to get out of that predictament.

Lia still hadn't found a group to join. She looked around and saw the girl from Astronomy. She made her way over to her and said, "Hi, I'm Lia. Do you, er, want to be in a group with me?"

"yes thats a great idea i love it" katie was enjoying every moment she decied to jump up and down

Alicia looked over at Katie. "Yes, transfiguration, seems very equivalent" she said happily. "Well, I think she mentioned a demonstration, but anyway, way too advanced. Good job guys!" she said. "Well, since we have to present a few ideas, how about burrowing in a hole, transfiguration of the rock, accio a hatchet, a mace, or a knife right into the tree for an escape, and maybe, Dissendium, i'm not sure if it's right for this type of scenario, we have to think staright and clearly" she said, smiling at Phoebe and Katie.

Phoebe a little confused at what Alicia was saying looked at her puzzled. "I don't understand what you mean?" She said. "Yes, I like all those ideas, and the blowing our selves up like a ballon, you forgot that one" She smiled.

" im a bit confused to, can we go through it one more time please to make sure?" katie said it with a half smile on her face

Alicia nodded. "Sorry, blabbed a bit too fast" she said nervously. "Alright, so, our ideas, burrowing in the ground, right?" "Next" "Blowing up out sleeves for balloons" "Right?" "maybe we could use with levitating, but I donnot think it'll wrok. "After" "We could Accio a knife, ir an axe for the tree scenario, maybe, and Dissendium is a possibility-though I doubt it" she said smiling. She talked slowly, and clearly, hoping that the group would understand. She wasnt the best at speaking-she had so many thought sin her mind. "Got it girls?" she added.

katie smiled and said " got it. now i understand! did we need to do anything else?"

Lainey was considering washing her hair while her class worked like little ants. She had such an excellent group.


"I'm ready to hear your ideas if you're ready to present them to me. Fire at will!" Lainey summoned her notebook so she could write down points for each theory. "How you lot get out?"

Phoebe nodded to Alicia and Ktaie. "i get it now" She laughed slihgtly. "Are we ready to tell Lainey?" She asked thinking herself they were. "I think we have enough ideas." She added looking at the other two.

Alicia nodded and smiled miraculously at Phoebe, this was her sign of showing that she was having fun. "Yes, ok, erm, shoot shall we" she said weakly. "Ok, so first idea- burrowing, second, blowing up sleeves, third, transfiguration" "Thats good?".
