"Thank you, Antonio said, still clutching the elf. "Is there anyone else left out there? Because I don't think I can do anything else right now." Antonio wasn't feeling that good, like he was going to hurl or pass out or something. What would have happened if it hadn't been for the gillyweed? "Where are the other professors?" He looked and saw they were both safe. "Is there anyone else out there? Because we need to get out of here quickly, I've never seen water rise that fast before in my life." What was happening here at the castle, it was crazy!

Chris pulled the Professor out and looked around "I think we got everybody. Does anyone see anybody else?" he asked the professors and other students on the stairs.

"Thanks, I appreciate it," Antonio said, putting down the house elf. "If that's true, and I hope it is, then let's get to safety fast!", Antonio said. He still wasn't sure if the girl was going to be okay, she had been under for a long time. "How are we going to get her out of here? She needs to be revived. The best place for her is probably the hospital wing."

ooc: I've got to get off for right now. Let's try and get everybody out of here as safely as we can, and I will check back soon!

She was taking in water, she was drowning! Gone was the calm of the water that had awoken her, this was turbulent, angry, beating her down, pulling her under. Suddenly she felt a strong hand clasp down on her arm as she was quickly pulled up, away from the raging tide. She grab onto the arm of another person, she didnt know who, but was nonetheless grateful. She felt solid dry ground meet her feet, and collapsed, coughing and wheezing.

"Thank you" she croaked, then coughed some more, trying to bring out whatever foul thing that she ingested in the water.

Marcus got shakily to his feet and clutched at his ribs and winced again. He had the worst taste in his mouth and his head felt as though it was on a carousel. He took in a deep breath and then quickly stopped.

Not a good idea that!

He turned his head and threw up all over the floor. The force of it brought him back to his knees and he remained on all fours, simply to tired to do anything at the moment. He hoped they got everyone out and were taking them up to the hospital wing.

Oh Caroline was going to have a fit!

Chris looked down at the girl he had pulled out of the water as she began to come to. "You are ok. You're out of the water. We will get you to the hospital wing soon." he made sure she was alright.

Chris turned around just in time to miss Professor Lawson's retch. "Oh my god!" Where is the nurse when you need her?

occ: I have contacted her through PM!

"Marcus," She said conjuring clean cool water with a silent aguamenti charm and rinsing off his forhead. "We need to get you and the others to Caroline, can you walk?"

"Potter! Get the nurse... NOW." She said firmly. She couldn't have students freaking out now.

She nodded at him, wishing she could say more but its all she could really do as she coughed and wheezed. A puddle of watter now forming beneath her, so much now that she could now vaguely make out her reflection.


She felt someone collapse onto the floor. It was the man she was trying to help. At least he made it out alive. Thats good.

Then he puked. Onto the floor. Next to her. Not good.

Sympathetic barfer she was unfortunately. She clamped her mouth shut, trying to keep it down. Keep it in! keep it in!

Too late. Out it all went onto the puddle beneath her.

Chris looked away quickly as the sick hit the floor. After he heard a command from Professor Lupa he said "Yes ma'am I will go fetch Miss Avalon now!" and he took off up the stairs to the Hospital Wing.

"I can walk Less." He gave her a shaky smile and grabbed her hand. "Thank you for helping to get us out." Marcus looked over to the little girl who was still unconscious and he got back to his feet and walked over to her. He bent down and picked her up into his arms. "I've got this one" he murmured as he held the little girl to him and started the walk up to the hospital wing.

"Are you sure?" she said smiling back at him, she turned back to the house elves. "Please, all of you report to the Care of Magical Creatures professor where she will examine you and clear you..." Sheesh! "All of you out!"

Argyle must have swallowed two stomachs full of the fowl water bobbing around with Professor man. Argyle is grateful when Professor man gets them out of the water. Argyle joins Professor man and throws up as much of the foul water as she can. Argyle listen as Mistress Lupa orders the house elves to go to the Care of Magic Creature's Hut. "Yes ma'am Mistress Lupa. Argyle doesn't feel so good either." Argyle aparates to Mistress Morgan's hut.

Naomi wandered down to the kitchen level as her stomach growled but she stopped when she saw the water and Professor Lupa with some other students. Things did not look good. "Professor Lupa!" She exclaimed. "Do you need any help? My mum was a muggle lifeguard and she taught me some first aid. I can help." Naomi stood back waiting for Professor Lupa to respond.

Still crouching on the floor, she shut her eyes and turned he head away from the mess, trying so hard to think of something else. But that was the problem, her mind was a complete blank save of the events of the past few minutes-- Water, floating bottles and cauldrons, large debris, drowning people and more water, more water. She opened her eyes as it fell onto the tempestuous current from which she was saved.

Get up! she could hear herself yell in her head. She struggled to her feet, grabbing onto the masonry for support. She could hear voices, but the convesations wasnt registering in her head. She was confused, looking around, realizing she has no clue where she is or who these people were. In fact, she wasnt quite sure who she was either.

She looked up at the man she tried to help has he begun to walk away. Should she follow? Maybe he would have answers. She spied the younger girl, still unconscious from their ordeal. Her teeth started to chatter, she was cold, but the numbing feel was starting to give way to pain. It struck everywhere on her body all at once. Being flung around the waters like a rag doll in a washing machine can take its toll, oh yes.

"Painful."It was all she could say.

The Elf had... aparated. She'd forgotten... she could have told the elves to aparate everyone out of there!! "No Miss Cambridge, but please go to your common room and make sure everyone is alright please. Everyone OUT!" She said kicking all the students and house elves out.

The water stopped it's ascent as it touched the ceiling.

As Arethusa said, the water was drained out, the injuries healed, and everything was restored to normal.

"Come on, Reese!" he said practically dragging her down the corridor. This was going to be so much fun. Though he had no idea how hard it would be for them to do it. Hopefully they would be able to distract the Elves. Or sweet talk them. Reese was pretty and that might help?

Why was she doing this? Why was she doing this? Why the HECK was she doing this?

If it was Reese's choice, she would have stayed at Hogsmeade with everyone else. But, Torin just HAD to go and talk her into going with him to the kitchens. She didn't even see why Torin had to cook Baked Alaska for Bunbury. The Professor already thought he was a creepy stalker. What would she think when he brings her Baked Alaska? Yeah. Her point exactly.

"Why don't we just go back to Hogsmeade, Torin? I really don't want to be down here," she said as the came towards the kitchen.

"Please, Reese? Bunbury dared me to do it. She wants baked Alaska, so that's what I'm making her." He hoped that he could remember the recipe. Eh, it was simple enough from what he remembered. "So you reay to butter up some House Elves?" Wow, this would be his first time meeting them. How exciting.

Reese pulled her hand away from Torin's grasp and stopped walking. She placed her hands on her hips as she glanced around the empty corridor. "She dared you? I don't see why I had to come," she asked. "It's not like I'll be any help." She looked back at Torin, wondering if he had a plan on how exactly they were going to bribe these elves. Honestly, she didn't want to bribe the house elves. What ever happened to asking them?

And, if Torin was making Baked Alaska, she better get some of it.

"Well, okay, we can try asking them to help.." He sighed before he continued, his voice showing annoyance. "She laughed at me and doesn't think I can do this. She dared me to do it and give it to her with witnesses present." UGH He was still so mad. She was a rude woman. A rude, rude woman!

Reese put some of her hair behind her ears as she listened to Torin talk. Bunbury laughed at him? Aww. Poor thing. She could also see why Bunbury would think Torin couldn't do this. He doesn't seem like the guy that could cook. He seemed more like the guy that could do...anything, but cook. Oh, well. People surprise you with talents.

"Okay. Whatever," she said. "If you want to prove to Bunbury that you can cook, then be my guest." With that said, she headed into the kitchen.

Lyra walked into the hallway, her green eyes looking around at the last time she would see these halls. Yeah! It was sad, and it was a big world out there, but she was ready. So she thought.

And with that thought, she slipped off her high heel PINK shoes and began to run down the hallway, screaming and giggling.
