"I am a first year ravenclaw, sir" she started to blush, she loved sitting somewhere quiet and just draw.

A first year? Merlin. But then again, her ability to draw was the equivalent to the amount of skill he had with a piano. And his piano skills had been prettty epic at that age.

"You're drawing skill is rather developed for an eleven year old," he nodded. "Is this something you'd like to do in the future...or is it just a hobby?"

" Thank you sir,I want like to be a artist but I want like to be a healer too" she smiled at him.

"It's hard being a healer, but once you make it there, all the work definitely pays off. You should talk to Miss Avalon, she'd be able to tell you what it's like. As for drawing, definitely don't let it go," he nodded, "you never know when it may come in handy. In fact...I think I have a book in there about drawing that I don't use. Let me go grab it," he smiled, standing up and entering back into his hut, shutting the door behind him. He walked over to his bookcase and started to search for the book.

Suddenly, the door of Mr. Masterson's office shut and locked itself.

The professor was alone and locked in. Water began seeping in, wetting his feet... but the source of the leak could not be found.

Dani wandered down to the Grounskeepers hut. She had wanted to properly introduce herself ever since the incident in Professor Vindictus Office when he had the teddy bear. Hmm. She knocked on his door. Hopefully she wasn't disturbing anything. But as she was a horribly oblivious person, she probably wouldn't have noticed anyway.

Victoria waited at the door, she didn't see the water seeping in. She would go and see the healer when she is less busy with her patients.

Aaron ran down to the hut andstopped when he reached there. it washard toslowdown. he put his hands on his knees and took heavy breaths. He looked up the hill and saw Iris still far behind running. Now all he had to do is ait.

If any water had been coming out from under the door, it stopped, as all doors and windows sealed the professor into the room... The charms placed on the doors and windows were all too powerful... no simple school charm would be able to open it.

As Constantine was reaching for a book on the top shelf of the bookcase, he looked down as he suddenly felt his feet getting wet. "What the hell...?" He stopped reaching and turned around - the entire floor was covered in water. Oh man, no way! This was NOT happening to him!

The door.

Constantine ran over to the door and wrenched on the door handle, trying to open the door. But, it wasn't opening! "HEY!" he called through the wood, slamming his fist down on it a couple of times. And then he tried shoulder-ramming it. Thud. No luck. Taking a step back and pulled out his wand and aimed it towards the door.

"Reducto!" he called, waiting for an instant reaction. But it never came.

This wasn't good.

"I'm telling you Lyra, pink can go with red. Cela and I were discussing that just the other day. I thought so at first, too, but...," Anna clamped her mouth shut and froze in place. The girls were walking on a few feet away from Mr. Masterson's hut, and Anna was suddenly aware that there was a great deal of shouting and loud banging coming from somewhere inside. "Oh my! Lyra!" Anna exclaimed. Without another word, she dashed a few feet towards the door of the hut.

"Mr. Masterson! Mr. Masteron!" she called out. "Are you alright? Mr. Masterson!" Anna loudly knocked a few times on the door, then tried her luck at simply opening the door. Of course it didn't open, but hey...it was good to at least give it a try. "Do something, Lyra! There's yelling and banging!" So there wasn't exactly that much yelling or banging, but the groundskeeper definitely sounded as if something was the matter.

Satine came running down from the castle...well maybe more sloshing down from the castle...she was almost out of breath when she saw the Head Girl and another girl already at Mr. Masterson's Hut.

"What's going on? I was looking out of the window in the CR and saw the water rising and I could see Mr. Masterson's shadow through the window and he looked a little bit panicked!" she knew she was talking a million miles per hour...."What are we gonna do?"

Lyra shook her head as maybe red and PINK looked good together for Valentine's Day but not in every day wear. It just...clashed. She opened her mouth to speak but instead she heard Banana screaming...and then her name.

And then banging.

OH CRAP!

"W-What am I supposed to do? I'm...a student! I'm still learningggggg!" Obviously she hadn't learned enough, or maybe she didn't pay attention that much.

"Did anyone try to open the door?" And then she heard the door from the other side. He was trying to get out! "Like...Alohamora!" She pointed her wand at the lock of the door, but nothing happened. Did she say it wrong? NOPE! She may not have been the smartest person but she knew a simple spell. "What else? Think....THINK!" Panic was not a good word.

Satine became very worried when the older student couldn't get a spell to work...how was she supposed to do it if this girl couldn't...Satine had seen her in classes and knew she was mega talented...O great...just keep a calm head...

"Should I go try to find the Headmaster or one of the Heads of Houses? Maybe they could help....or maybe we should use just force and not magic..." she was just blabbering now trying to sound useful and to keep her mind on things....

Panicked expression on her face, Anna turned from the door at the sound of Satine's voice. "Satine! I...I'm not really sure! Lyra and I were just walking along, and...and.." Anna shot both girls a worried expression, then turned back to the door. She pulled and pushed at the handle, trying to get the door to give way in either direction. What in Merlin's name was going on in there? A thousand scenarios ran through Anna's head... "Lyra! Check the windows! Can you see anything?" she asked.

"No, no! Alohomora doesn't work! This castle has freaky things happen to it, I tell ya! It's jinxed! Jinxed!" she called out in frustration. "Ohhh, what if he's being attacked? What then?" Anna glanced from the door to the castle, contemplating if she should run and get some help. Ohh, what to do? What to do?

Satine could see the panic in Anna's face...."Good idea about the windows...I'll go check the one on the opposite side." she said as she scurried...well sloshed...to the side of the hut.

When she got there, she could see through the window Mr. Masterson trying as hard as he could to find a way out.

She tried opening the window with all of her might...but it didn't budge...eventhough it didn't work on the front door...she pulled her wand out and followed Lyra's example and screamed, "Alohamora!" with a flick of her wand...still nothing...

She looked around frantically and finally found something of use...she grabbed an old shovel and swung it with all her might at the window...if magic didn't work then maybe plain force would...but she was pretty sure it wouldn't work if the hut or water had been jinxed...it was worth a try though...

Constantine tried side ramming the wood door again. "Come on!" he yelled in frustration. "OPEN!" he growled, taking one more jump at the door before falling backwards into the water to catch his breath; his mind was reeling as he tried thinking up ways to get out of this blasted hut.

Before the water got too high.

The shovel wasn't working...but then she had an idea..

She ran to the front of the hut and looked at the two girls.."I have a crazy idea...what about the chimney wouldn't it be open...maybe if we could signal to Mr. Masterson to try the chimney." it was a long shot...but you couldn't really spell complete openings could you...well she hoped not but she had been wrong before...

The water was quickly rising, not seeping out, it was as if it was contained by an invisible barrier... it was up to Masterson's waist now and it was cold, and dank, dingy and gross.

Back on his feet, Constantine shivered as the water managed to reach his waist. There HAD to be a leak somewhere! THE SINK. As fast as he could, he crossed the room to the sink and the, taking a deep breath, he dropped underneath the water and opened up the cabinet underneath the sink. Observing, there were no air bubbles coming from the joints in the piping; it wasn't the sink.

Rising above water, he was at a loss for what to do. His eyes searched around, looking for some possible way out when something that made his heart stop slipped into his head and made him run back to the door.

"ROMA," he yelled through the door, hoping that who ever was on the other side would here. "GO make sure she's SAFE!" He tried pulling on the doorknob some more before giving up and trying to open up a window.

Satine got quiet when she thought she hear Mr. Masterson's voice..."Hey I think he's trying to tell us something." she motioned to the two girls...she put her ear up against the door and listened as hard as she could..."He's saying something like Uma..and something about safe...does that mean anything to you two?" she hoped it did since she didn't know the Groundskeeper that well...but atleast hearing his voice meant that he wasn't hurt or atleast not hurt too bad...

Selena - who was hovering around the door amongst the panicked students - heard the trapped Groundskeeper's voice inside, fortunately. She frowned a little bit at the name... Roma? Probably... Oh Merlin, his pet! The Gryffindor firstie recalled walking through the grounds and see some students playing with the dog. Without any other option, she wheeled and ran as fast as she could to the direction of the creature's house.

Lyra turned to look at the other two girls. "You," she pointed to the Ravenclaw without hesitation. "We need help! Go find a Professor and FAST!" Could they accio a professor? Could they accio...anything at this point?

"Banana! What can we use? What about...some type of hammer? Broom?" Broom? What were they going to do, sweep the porch? "I...I mean something to knock the door down? Something! Anything!"

"Roma?" Lyra heard the words of the Groundskeeper and remembered the pretty, HUGE, smelly dog. "Roma! Right! The dog!" And another girl took off running towards the dog house.

"I...I think he's yelling out for Roma. Maybe he needs someone to go and check to see if Roma is alright," Anna suggested. She turned and glanced towards the dog's yard, but she couldn't really see anything from the position she was in. "Oddly enough, the grounds don't look to be effected by this water at all. It'd just in this hut. I'd say he had a plumbing problem, but after the situation in the dungeons and in the kitchens, I'm not so sure. Pardon the pun, but it's like this water is magical. It defies anything I've ever heard of."

Before she could even realize that another student had joined them, Anna heard the sound of Selena's voice. She turned just in time to see the girl running off towards Roma's yard. "Mr. Masterson! Selena's gone to see about Roma! Can you hear us?" she called out, tugging at the door again, yet not really expecting anything to happen.

"Satine, do you mind? Can you go and find someone to help us? If we don't hurry, something terrible could happen to Mr. Masterson!" Anna said, panic in her voice. Hammer? Broom? Oh, no! Oh, no! What can they use?!?! "LYRA! Bang on the door with your high heel shoe! Those things have to be good for something or another!" Was Lyra even wearing high heels? This, Anna did not know, but seeing as there wasn't a broom nearby...

Satine listened to Lyra..."Okay I'll go find the Headmaster or a Head of House or someone...try the Chimney?...maybe whatever caused this didn't think about that exit..." she suggested...."Good luck...I know ya'll are going to need it..." she patted them both on the backs before running back towards the castle as fast as her little legs could carry her..
