YAYBROOM. Yay rescue.

Cam was at the back and he didn't really mind because it STILL meant he was going to finally get away from these little mutated fish aliens! He stuck out his tongue again, towards that WIMPY-LOOKING grindylow, his fingers stretching his cheeks. Oh making funny faces and sticking your tongue out at bad people/creatures without getting hurt at all felt... sooooooooo awesome. Maybe it was the Slytherin-ness inside of him.

Had to be.

He looked back at the two boys--first at Cy who was ready to go off with the broom and then... at the other Hufflepuff. Seemed familiar. Had he stalked this one before? AND WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS VOICEBOX? A mean merperson probably hit his voice-box thingy mabob and it altered his voice foreeeever. Poor Hufflepuff. Cam pitied him. He was pitying a lot of people these days. Was that so wrong?

OMGSPEEEDDD. Cy was going at FULL speed with this broom here. Almost felt like he was playing Seeker again.

"WEEEEEEEEE!!!" AND AORNOS? EW! SCREECHINGSCREECHINGS again. Bunzz's shoes as chew toys? OMG that was ppeeeeerrfect.

"I dunno, Aislynn!" UGH he was so frustrated.

He wanted to be translator for Professor Bunbury, but she kept ruining it for him with her nattering. "They are attacking us. And they want Bunbury's shoes." How much more in detail could he get?

He saw the redhead's foot and attacked. The grindylow launched himself out of the water with his jaws wide open and little arms outstretched.

CHOMP! CHOMP!

"RELASHIO!" he screamed out at the Grindylow attacking Bunbury. "Think again before hurting Professor Bunbury."

Oh my word.

OH MY WORD.

Willie stuck his face onto Cy's back and held onto him some more, almost squeezing the breath out of the first year. He didn't' care. All this movement wasn't making him feel well and it was making him dread that he ate a tuna casserole with chocolate pudding with a ton of whipcream on it. Not only did he eat that, but he also munched on french fries, ate some chicken and drank lots of pumpkin juice.

His stomach was now a blender with all this movement.

"Th--Thy," he murmured, his stomach not feeling so good at the moment. "Th--Thloow DAAAOOWN." Willie yelled the last part in the air as their broom gave a BIIIIIIG jerk.

And then the worst of the worse happened.

Willie threw up.

On the Grindylow.

"Well... (she screeched)



Is what the BIG fishey man said. That he like the redhead's shoes. Are chewtoys something you chew? Why would you want to chew something that had a foot in it?"

He had to cover his ears as she suddenly screeched. "Bloody hell!" He almost had a heart attack here! "Yes they are something you chew. And apparently Jimmy Choos make good ones." You learn something new every day.

Vindictus flew near the Gryffindor girl who was screeching incoherently. "Stop it this instant!" he commanded her and shook his head. "You clearly need to go to the hospital wing and have Nurse Avalon check for, erm, wrackspurt and, erm, possible blood poisoning." He did notice that she was bleeding from a few grindylow bites.

And then he saw Willie vomit. "If you can't stomach the fight, quit feeding the fish."

CHOMP! CHOMP!

"EEEEEeeeeeeeeeeKKKKKKKKKKKKK! MY SHOESSSS!"

Bunbury was wailing like her first-born son had just been ripped out of her arms and sacrificed to the guillotine. Never mind that she was getting off lucky because the chomping grindylow only bit off the heel on her left shoe and not her whole foot.

"STUUUUUPEFY! Stupefy! GO AWAY you UGLY UGLY THING!" Anastasia quickly folded both her legs up on the broom and just starting shooting spells at all the water below. Oh Merlin and Torin Kane was trying to do that saving thing again with a girl on his broom - silly boy, forget her! SAVE MY SHOES!

If she lost another pair before this term ended...well...then there would BE NO NEXT TERM. Wardrobe losses were not to be taken lightly.

As Cy zoomed a sharp left, and straightened out for yet another bump, he heard poor Willie telling him to slow down. Then, he heard... other noises.

Too late.

But Cy yelled out in victory as he watched his friend's upchuck pour over the grindylows. "Bettah' out than in, my friend!" Laughing historically, he momentarily lost concentration so the whole balance of the broom was throw off.

They did a quick tail spin loop-de-loop thing.

"WOOPS!" Cy said, a surprised expression on his face. "All hands on decks mates, all hands on deck." An adventures tone in his voice, he continued to make a go at the exit... although with this many people on board, that would be quite the task.

A swarm of grindylows appeared beneath the boy who fed them and began chomping furiously at the chunks that landed in the water.

NOM! NOM! NOM!

The grindylow dodged the spell and swam off with the heel of the shoe in his mouth.

"We could just ask them to stop.... (she screeched again)



She looked down and saw if they reacted. Her throat really hurt now.

What was the BOY doing?!?!?

Cam watched in complete horror and disgust as... STUFF started pouring out of the Hufflepuff's mouth. EWWWWWW. EW. EWW. What did the boy eat even?! It looked like a mixture of... oh even he didn't know. Cam quietly slid back on the broom, hoooping--JUST HOPING that the boy wouldn't turn around and puke on him instead. If he did...

He would have made a jump for it. Yup.

Looking down at the grindylows ... WHAT. WERE. THEY. DOING?! Eating the VOMIT. He looked away--they were eating something that was ... ew. EW. EWW. Look away. Just LOOK away. Cam looked at the... vomiting broken voice-box'd boy. Vomiting AND broken voice box? POOOOOOOR Hufflepuff. "Uhh, try your best not to er... do it again."

No more puking... please, just NO MORE PUUUKIING.

"Oiiii Cy, slow down a bit will yaaa?" Please. No. More. Puking. BUT IT WAS SOOOO MUCH FUN GOING IN HIGH SPEED. But he'd rather have the broom slow down than have barf all over him. Yup.

"What did you just say to them?" he asked her as soon as the ringing in his ears stopped. He was going to go deaf if this kept up.

He really wished that he had had more time to master Mermish.

"I said 'Hello Fish Stop Eating Shoes!'," she said with a wide smile pretty proud of herself. "Isn't that what we want them to stop doing?"

She pointed down to a swarm of them, "Oh lookie, the cutie patooties found some chowder to eat!" She began to clap! "Maybe they're just hungry...I mean shoes are made out of moo moo skin. People eat moo moos!"

Once Willie was done throwing up, he placed his forehead on Cy's back and shut his eyes tightly. Never should he mix various foods together when he'd ride a broom or do anything adventurous.

That's it, he was going to be a vegetarian from now. He was not going to eat anything meaty or sweet or anything that could make him throw up. Willie is going to boycott food! Well, not really, he bet he was going to suck on something sweet after this whole thing was over.

And then Cy did a loop and his stomach followed. "THYRUUUUUTHH THTOOOOP" Willie hollered, grabbing onto his waist and clutching onto it like his life depended on it. And where he was standing, his life did depend on him.

Daniel nodded and yelled, ACCIO BROOMS FROM THE BROOMSHED he hopes to gather enough brooms for everybody. After just a few moment, brooms came hovering above and beyond. He then yelled again, "Those of you who are still in the water, grab a broom and use it to hover above them." he said.

He then saw a boy who did a nasty stuff, he fed the grindylows with his vomit. Daniel then saw an opportunity to cast a spell on the gryndilows that swarmed where the boy vomited. He pointed his wand on the spot and muttered, "Stupefy, stupefy, stupefy."

Vindictus was furious as he flew over to the Gryffindor girl who was clearly disobeying his orders. "I told you to STOP speaking gibberish to the fish! When I give an order, you listen and you obey for your own SAFETY. Do I make myself clear?" He was frowning at her and tempted to knock a handful of points from Gryffindor in addition to assigning the girl a very lengthy detention. "PREFECT. DEMERITS BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!"

"Well.. That's a good start. Though generally I think getting them to stop flooding our castle and trying to kill us is a better message." He was trying so hard not to roll his eyes.

He was about to tell her more when Vindictus started in. EEP. He was so distracted with her that he didn't think about the danger she might be causing. "Please be quiet," he muttered to her instead.

He didn't like her, but he didn't want her in a lot of trouble either.

Then it was back to the Gryndylows. "STUPEFY!" he called out to one of the ones eating vomit. (Ewww, gross!)

"What's gibberish?" she looked confused and looked to Torin for advice. Then the scary man on the broomstick started yelling and Aislynn started to cry, no more like bawling. "I-I-I-I j-just w-w-wanted t-the f-f-fishy p-p-p-people t-to s-s-stop eat-ta-ting p-p-pretty r-r-red h-head l-ladies' sh-sh-sh-shoes!" She cried in Torin's shoulder. She sniffled. "I-I-I d-don't know wh-who I-I-I-I a-a-a-a-am!" She continued to bawl hysterically into Torin's shoulder. Tears starting streaming into the water below.

Oh no. Now she was crying. Great. Sighing, he turned around to face her. "There, there," he said as he let her cling to him and cry on his shoulder. "When this is all done we can take you to the Nurse and she can help you." Hopefully...

Crying female students just irked him unless they were Ravenclaws. "You clearly have wrackspurt since you didn't hear me tell you to get to the hospital wing," Vindictus said and kept his wand on the merpeople. "Whatever you're doing is making them madder than a Horntail protecting its nest. So if you don't know who you are, then go ask Nurse Avalon." And he shot a stunner at a grindylow creeping beneath the water.

Aislynn tried to sniffle back the tears. "W-what is a Nurse Av-Av-Avalon???" She felt the back of her head it was throbbing. "What h-h-h-happened to my h-head? Th-th-there's a big bu-bu-bump!" She clinged closer to Torin. At the moment he was the only one she trusted. "B-but I-I-I can sp-speak t-t-to them and t-t-t-tell them t-to st-st-stop!"

"Right, I'm taking you away from here right now," he said as he turned away from her. There was no way that he was going make things here worse.

With that, he flew off in the direction of the nurses office. Only 1 floor up at least, he thought to himself trying to make things better.

Oh Merlin, not more screeching, Elizabeth had thought as the merpeople spoke again, and then grindylows had attacked, causing mass chaos. Practically translucent, she was so pale from the pain rocketing through her head, she managed to notice Professor Vindictus' arrival as she pressed against one of the walls, momentarily having given up casting spells. It wasn't like they seemed to be working. But then he'd ordered everyone to summon brooms to get out of the water, and she bit her lip as people did, then started getting batted at by the merpeople like flies. With their tridents as flyswatters. "Don't you know merpeople with tridents is so cliche?," she muttered in irritation.

And then, as grindylows were flying into the air to attack people, she sighed. Professor Vindictus wanted everyone up, fine. But she wasn't getting on a school broom. For all she knew, she'd end up with the broom that had tripped her in the locker room. "Accio broom!," she yelled, thinking of her own broom, which was upstairs in the common room. And as it came toward her, she looked at the merpeople and grindylows. Distraction, she thought as she climbed on her broom and it flew upward a little. Okay, please, Plymouth, don't kill me. Or start shrieking or anything, she internally pleaded, before waving her wand in a semi-complicated movement. "Chrysaetos conjurus." As the eagle conjured by her brother's spell appeared, she cringed a little in guilt, both for the fact it was her house symbol and the fact her brother probably had never thought it would be used as a distraction. Sending it flying low over the water to hopefully sidetrack the evil little creatures, she swung her broom to one side to avoid Torin flying past with a crying girl. Now what?, she thought, keeping her wand ready even though it was taking most her strength to push back the pain in her head and stay on the broom. If anything got close to her, she was hexing it.
