Ricco could do with some of that pepper potion but it seemed that even the Healer didnt want to check that he was alive because even ricco wasnt sure as he could feel a very cold sensation right up his leg. Im dead!!!] he screamed in his head as he waited patiently for the light to come.

Making a small face, Steven took a Pepperup potion from Clifford for Jude, and one for himself too. "Excuse me, Professor Truebridge, sent us up. He went into the dorms to check for anyone. They should be coming up soon." Steven hoped this made him feel slightly better.

"I don't mean to interupt... but could you dry our robes?" I don't have my wand on me... and two sets of wet robes are really heavy." He said, as he clung to Jude wanting to make sure he was okay before he let him go. "Jude... Jude drink this mate." He said, holding one of the potions out to him with a small smile.

With a small groan, he looked around the hall trying to spot any of his girls. He knew where Nancy was (although this time it wasn't a good thing)... But he hadn't seen Corwyn or his girlfriend all day. He was worried about them. He really hoped that they were okay.

Eeep! Whispering made Caroline jumpy. Okay, no it was water that made her jumpy, but whispering didn't help.

"Certainly, just a moment please?" she said.

"Uhm - Miss?" He asked sheepishly, collecting a few bottles of pepper-up potion ready to hand to the needy Slytherins. He handed one to that Ott dude before clearing his throat and turning back to the Nurse. He was worried. "You uh - didn't happen to pass Evangeline on your way up here did you?" Please say yes, please say yes..

"I didn't come that way Clifford," she told him. "Ethan potkeyed me out with the detention students, up to the Owlerey, that's where they're being kept until we can dry out the dungeons. Which shouldn't take too long," she assured him. "Ethan is looking after everyone who is still in the Dungeons, he'll make sure she gets out."

Poor little thing, he must really care about Evangeline. How sweet.

Seeing that the Great Hall was, for the most part where there was NOT students, dry, Jude immediately wanted down. He tried to shake his head, he didn't want medical help. He wanted a towel and his bed... which was now soaked with water. He wanted a towel and A bed. Any bed.

"Down pleeze," he murmured at the boy, and loosened his clinging grip on him.

He looked to the potion being offered and nodded... Taking the little vial with one hand he wiggled the stopper off with his thumb and drank it, while trying to wiggle himself down to the floor and onto his own feet. He wanted his independence and dignity back now, please.

Independence would come more easily than dignity, for shortly after that thought rang through his head, something else did, too -- smoke from the Pepperup potion in his ears. Great....

It wasn't that she was purposely avoiding her boyfriend, it was just that she needed some alone time, and since she couldn't even take a bath without an audience she might as well lose herself in Steven's company for a while.

She had no idea where he was, but she wanted to stop in the Great Hall and get something to eat before she went on a all out search for him, and luck be a lady he was in the Great Hall. She smiled and walked quickly over to him. "Hey," she smiled hugging him tightly.

"Thanks anyway, Miss." Clifford's shoulders slumped sadly in disappointment. He'd been hoping Miss Caroline would tell him there was nothing to worry about.. that Prefect Green was safe and sound. But nope, she didn't. He was still clueless. Baaah.

His faith was in Professor Truebridge - who he figured this Ethan fella was.

Nodding, the Head Boy ducked his head and wandered slowly up the Slytherin table, tray of Pepper-up potions in hand. He'd have to remember to save himself one.

Anna really needed to shower and change into some drier clothes, but Professor Kazimeriz had instructed her to head straight from the dungeons to the Great Hall, and who was she to directly disobey a professor? So it was for that reason that she stepped into the Great Hall soaking wet and feeling as if a cold was definitely coming on. She stopped for just a moment to catch her breath, and in doing so eyed Healer Avalon at the Slytherin house table. Anna perked up upon seeing her, as she was happy to see that the woman had made it out the detention halls and into safety.

"Healer Avalon," Anna said, hurrying over to the Slytherin table. "I'm so glad to see that you've made it out. I was worried about you and Professor Truebridge, although I had no doubts you'd know just what to do." She took a seat, still slightly out of breath, then eyed the potion that was being administered. Pepperup, if she assumed correctly. "Pepperup potion, yes? I suppose I'm due for some. May I, ma'am?" she asked.

Satine walked up and asked, "Mam, would you like me to help you distribute these to the Slytherin table? Or is there anything you need help? I'm sure this is overwhelming and an extra pair of hands might be helpful...but then again they could hinder the process." she smiled at the distraught looking woman.

Steven nodded a little, and set Jude on his feet. "Are you sure you don't want the nurse to look you over?" He asked him, simply worried about the boy. He was suddenly glad that he was tall. He didn't know what he would have done if he'd been Jude's height and that had happened.

Once the boy was on his own two feet, he undid the stopper of his own tube and downed the potion. Making a face, he groaned and ground his teeth together. Geez, could they not at least make the potions taste nice?? With a sigh, he looked up again and suddenly had an arm-full of Paris.

With a deep breath, he hugged her tightly, letting himself breath in her scent before he realised that he was dripping. He pulled back, and laughed softly, as Paris' entire front was soaking. "Ummm. I'm slightly wet sweetheart." He said with a laugh. He really wished someone would dry him off.

Cam looked back at Clifford for a bit and then wondered if lemurs were really the same as monkeys. Weren't they a type of primate or something? Hmm. "I guess so buuuut... they're not monkeys to me." He looked back at the goblets and realized the lemurs only drank a bit of it. Maybe they were scared of water tooooo. Yes, that could be it. Or it could possibly be that that bathroom sink water was just way too better than this one. He wasn't sure. He got out of his thoughts when finally an adult arrived. And sadly, he didn't know who she was and guessed that she was the new nurse. What happened to the old one though?

Bleh, he wasn't going to question about that now. Something horribleh just happened. He almost drowneeeed! And he realized some other people couldn't swim like him--which actually made him feel better. Quickly he said a polite thank you to Clifford after getting the potion and looked at it.

What if... Oh what the heck, he drank it anyways. Ooooh. Instantly he felt warm--well warmer, because he was already warm before from Cliff's spell. Buut... steam. OMG HE WAS ON FIREEE. Cam started flailing his arms beside his ear and tried to make it stop! But actually he didn't even feel anything at all. Hmm. Could have been some sort of a side effect. Cooooool.

He walked up to the nurse and then looked around to see if she was needed to the injured people. "Erm... sorry if I bother, miss, but is everyone OK?" His face was mixed with mild curiosity and fear. Bleeeeeh. What if someone was like, severely injured? There were probably a few people here that were injuried already but he was just curious.

Reese looked at Miles and Shana, waiting for one of them to say something. As she waited, she took her attention off of them and looked down at her soaking clothes. What was she suppose to do? There was no way she was going to stay in these wet clothes! Sighing a lttle bit, she noticed another students drying off using their wands and... duh! She could dry herself off using magic.

She stood up and pulled her wand out of her wet robes and cleared her throat. Okay, what was that spell that would dry her clothes off? Vapor- something. She bit her lip as she thought about the spell. Come on, Reese. You know this spell. She twirled her wand in her hand and then it hit her. Vaporarium! Yes, that's what it was. Grinning to herself, she pointed her wand at her robes and muttered, "Vaporarium!" Within seconds, her robes were dry and warm. This was much better than having wet and cold robes, that's for sure.

She stuck her wand back in her pocket and turned around when Miss Avalon instructed them to take some Pepperup Potion. Do we REALLY have to? Then, Miss Avalon said it was not up for negotiation. Mmmhmm. She wandered over to Clifford and Miss Avalon. "Erm, I need some potion," she said, looking between her Prefect and Miss Avalon.

She sighed and let all her frustrations and anger slip away like a daffodil in the wind as he hugged her back tightly. She didn't want to let go. She pulled away from him and only then did she feel that her chest and stomach was wet. She giggled. "Now you tell me," she said pulling out her wand to dry them both off. "Why exactly are you wet?" she said looking around at everyone and finally seeing a wet first year.

Happy to be back on his own feet, Jude took a step or two away and coughed a few more times, to make sure he wouldn't fall over. When everything went okay and his footing appeared solid, Jude took a few more steps and stretched and twisted, dropping the outermost layer of his robes onto the floor.

He was going to reply to the boy who saved him, whose name he realized he didn't know, when the boy's apparent girlfriend came over and hugged him. Oh well. He tried instead to get the attention of the nurse or anyone important, "Escusmeh... Is dair anehway Oi can ge' atowl?" he asked, forcing his words to be more audible and coherent than his shaking, cold, slurring face wanted him to be.

What was this? News About Evangeline!? Clifford could've smooched this boy - Steven he thought his name was - but yeah, that woulda been slightly weird. "You - You mean Evangeline got out okay?" Clifford asked, wanting to hear it again just to make sure. He didn't wanna go getting his hopes high only to have them crushed again.

"Here let me help with that.. Vaporarium!" Pointing his wand at Steven's robes, Clifford proceeded to steam dry them. "Are you sure she got out? Positive?" EEE!


"Here you go, Reese. This'll make you feel better," Clifford smiled, feeling slightly better after the news that Evangeline had left the dungeons. He wouldn't feel 100% better till he saw her himself though. The Head Boy handed over a small phial of red potion and stood back to watch the steam that would no doubt spout from the girls ears. It was amusing to watch. Heh heh.

Cari watched the boy take his potion. "You should be fine with just the potion, but if you feel ill or hurt at all, come find me, if I'm gone from here, come find me in the hospital wing alright?"

She couldn't REALLY force him to be looked at if he didn't want to be.

Cari tried to smile. It almost worked. "We're pretty much fine. Ethan - Professor Truebridge is still down there taking care of things, but-" Cari took a steadying breath, "He'll be fine. He's very capable."

Anna was a good girl, she chose just about the worst witch to go save drowning students, but she was a good girl. "Yes you do need to take the potion. And if you would finish passing out this tray? If anyone fights you on it, call for me, I need to see to a broken leg and combative student in a body bind." She handed the tray off to Anna.

"I'm going to have the head girl do that actually, but thank you for asking, make sure you get some if you've gotten wet," she said to the girl. Oh she was busy busy, no time to panic, just enough time to see to people and nothing else.

"Make sure your Girlfriend takes some too," Cari instructed the boy. "Can't have the Quidditch Captain getting sick."

Nodding, Jude forced a smile onto his face, "Oi wee-uhl," he said quickly and barely coherently. These poor people trying to understand him. He knew they probably couldn't understand half the stuff he was saying, but he didn't care. He had a right to be incoherent. He nearly died today.

He wondered if the water was dangerous to swallow, because he certainly had swallowed some of it... Oh well. Later, when he wasn't so cold and wet and shaking.

"Atowl pleeze summun?" he asked, "Or jus' droyness?" he asked, miserably, while taking a seat on the cold, hard floor beneath him.

"Thanks, Clifford," Reese said, smiling slightly. Oh, this potion is going to make me feel better? Then, it must make Shana disappear off the universe. Because, that's the only thing that would make her feel better at the moment was if Shana was gone and would leave her alone. She took the small phial from Clifford and examined the red potion that was inside of it. She took a deep breath and then drank the potion. Gag. This potion tasted HORRIBLE. Just as she pulled the vial away from her mouth, steam spouted from her ears.

Oh, Clifford was right. That potion did make her feel a little bit better.

Now THAT, she could do.

With a HUGE wave of her wand, Cari conjured what seemed like a hundred towels and blankets for the soaked little Slytherins. Poor little things.

"Here you go dear," she held up a towel for the third year.

A real smile appeared on Jude's face this time, no forcing involved. "Fankyoo" he said, taking the towel graciously and eagerly. "Can Oi 'as two?" he asked, crawling over from his spot on the cold floor, which was now very wet, to the pile of towels, wanting another one. Heck, he wanted them all, but knew it would be no good. He also took a blanket, but didn't want to use it until he was dry. What was the name of that spell they were all using to dry their robes? Maybe it would be easier for him to try that one... He sat back, towel wrapped around his shoulders, his outermost layer of robes taken off and sitting in a pile a few feet from him, and removed his wand from it's place.

Now if only he knew the spell name...

Ricco was getting quite annoyed at how everyone was just stepping over him, they werent even checking to see if he was alive. Hoping that he got out soon he began to count the cracks in the wall.

Lettie watched Ott wander off towards the healer, almost wanting a pepperup potion herself right about now. Ornlu was still curled up in the girl's lap, though he was so large that he hung off the sides somewhat. Leticia lay her head down on the table on top of her folded arms, it was quite comfortable actually. And warmer than having her head up. She could almost fall asleep....

"Sure," Cari handed the little one another, "take as many as you need. I have to see to some other people now, but if you need me, just ask your Head Boy or Girl to get me okay?"

She headed off to see Ricco. This was not going to be her favourite part of the day.

Cari carefully administered Pepperup Potion so he wouldn't choke on it. She was a Healer, she knew how.

"Are you ready to behave?" she asked, removing the Body Bind, but not, for one second lowering her wand. If he wasn't ready to behave, she would cheerfully deal with him.

As the last portions of Helena's robes began to dry, she glanced around the table at everyone talking about the new uprising that had occurred, speculating, and just chatting with friends without in a care in the world. She instantly missed Freya at this; the two weren't super close, but she was the best friend Helena had at Hogwarts her first year. A few moments later, she departed for the Gryffindor table with light purple eyes.

Anna returned the half-smile she received from the healer. The woman had been through a huge ordeal, so she couldn't possibly be expected to be happy-go-lucky, could she? Of course not. She had to be given credit for an attempt, though. "I'm glad to hear you're doing fine. I passed Professor Truebridge, as well as Professor Kazimeriz, in the dungeons just now. Professor Kazimeriz had me go back down there with him to get one last look around. The coast seemed clear, so they both instructed me to come straight here," Anna explained. "Oh, I do hope they'll be alright, Healer Avalon..."

"Right, I'll take the pepperup potion now and then make sure the other students get some," Anna replied, with a sharp nod. She was glad to be of assistance whenever she could. "Broken leg? Body bind? Good luck, Healer," Anna said, still a bit saddened by all the damage the flood has caused. Anna accepted the tray from Healer Avalon, then sat it down on the table, so she could get a dose of the potion. When she'd done so, she picked the tray back up and began looking around for students in need of the potion.

Ricco began chocking on the potion when the curse was lifted "Than thank you" he said gratefully to the healer "I would like to say sorry if i caused any problems in the dungeons, that was selfish and reckless of me and i could have gotten any one of you hurt". Ricco was not used to thank you's so he hoped that sounded ok.
