Demetria entered the Great Hall and sat where the third years were assigned. Interview with a werewolf. This should be interesting, yet very cool. Just as she was getting situated, she felt water on her shoes. "Seriuslee? I thought this whole flood thing was over." she looked down at the water. Ughhhhh.

Karma slowly made her way towards the Great Hall, and noticed how everyone was divided into years. Oh, not so much fun. She had wanted to sit with Emiliano. Oh well, she would just settle for bugging him from behind.

As she walked towards the back bench (which wasn't entirely too far), she seated herself comfortably, and noticed water on the floor.

"REALLY. Again, with this?" she said out loud. Whooooops.

Lyra had been looking at her feet for a moment and it took her some time to notice that there was water, water on the floor "oh give us a break will ya?" she muttered at it and glanced around the hallfloor it wasn't much...yet... so she didn't start to panic right away. Looking around she spotted that atleast a few teachers where here too and the headmaster, so nothing can happen...right?

Chris made his way to the Great Hall when he heard about an assembly. As he walked into the he noticed water. Oh perfect just perfect. He thought as he walked over to the bench where sixth years where to sit. Sigh...why was there water again in the Great Hall?

Reese began to tap her foot on the ground as she waited for things to began. Hearing splashing noises everytime her foot tapped against the ground, she glanced down at her feet. Water? WATER?! The Princess was suppose to fix all of this since they saved her. Grrrr. Crossing her arms, she glanced up at the podium.

Following the flow of students pouring into the Great Hall, Rachel tried her hardest not to step on people's toes as she walked on purpose, her annoyance getting the better of her. OWLs were NOT fun and with them being in session, she could not for the life of her rememeber WHY they were all cramming in here...

No! Where are the house tables?! Ugh, this is really annoying. In a foul mood now - for she had hoped to get some revision done under the table, Rachel made her way towards the bench were the majority of her classmates were, surprised to see that many of them looked quite cheery.

Pushing past a group of first years, she sighed in relief as the crowds thinned and she was just about to take a seat when she heard something she had hoped to never hear again. Oh, now COME ON! Isn't that done and over with already?!?! She had no idea why or how they had fixed it, but she DID know that no more classrooms were water logged so...

Angry at herself, angry at the world, the fifth year pouted and stared furiously at any stragglers who happened across her, crossing her arms over her chest. In the small portion of her brain where rational thought was still intact, she kept a lookout for other prefects and professors, waiting to see their reaction to this repeat.

Zeke walked into the Great Hall, ready for the special assembly. He didn't know what it was about, but he was eager to find out. He noticed a strange splashing-type sound every time he took a step... that's odd... then he looked down. "Awww, again?" he said aloud to nobody in particular. He made his soggy way over to the seating toward the back - he didn't want to obstruct anyone's view - and took a seat, his shoes the hem of his pants both wet.

I'm not late I'm not laaaate!

Caroline rushed into the Entrance Hall.

And nearly fell on her butt.

Hmmmm... still damp.

Lovely.

She almost never was late, but you know, Nursely duties and such.

Busy Busy.

She took a seat in the "tall people section." Just like she had since she was 15, and made herself quiet and attentive.

Satine hurried down to the special assembly excited to see what it was all about. Her leg was still a little sore from the trident that merthing had thrown at her before she passed out....but atleast it was healed...thank goodness.

She hurried down to the first year bench and sat down looking around for friends she might know.

Jack hurried into the Great Hall and noticed immediately that he was splashing. Not again, he thought to himself.

He found a seat on one of the back benches, along with other 5th years. Interesting setup...not by house as usual. Perhaps it had something to do with the unity they showed in battle.

Clifford had heard something from someone about this special assembly thing. He couldn't really be bothered, but figured he'd best have a mosey along. He WAS the Head Boy after all. Eh.

Maybe it had something to do with all those crazy fishy people that had been in here, he decided as he entered the great hall and took a seat at the back.

Next to Miss Caroline.

MMMM. She smelled nice.

She hadn't even had a chance to return the school broom yet and get her brownie,but Sarah hurried along to the Great Hall as soon as she heard there was to be an assembly.What greeted her was more water trickling inside. "Oh you have to be kidding me!!" she said aloud,tip toe-ing through it to find the relevent seat....third years bench. "I thought all this was supposed to have been cleared!!" Her comments were to no-one really,just frustration at having finally got dry,only to find her feet wet again.
Making her way along the aisle she came to the right bench and sat down in an empty space.Interview with a Werewolf eh? Looking up to the ceiling she said a silent prayer...Please let nothing go wrong!

Becca was, oddly enough, the first fourth year to arrive, it seemed, so she sat alone on the long fourth year bench. She kept an eye on the thin layer of water on the floor. Hmm. The cage was also suspicious, but Becca concluded that maybe the King was going to come back to apologize, or something. That made sense, right? She kept her thoughts to herself, though, and got comfortable. It would be a fun little assembly thing.

Hannah bounced into the common room in her usual bubbly way. Skip, skip, skip, splash, what? She looked down and sighed. More water?! Oh, well. She waved to Zeke and made her way over to the bench for fourth-years. Weird, they weren't sitting by House. That was strange. Oh, well, she didn't have any objections. She sat down and twirled her hair, waiting to hear what all this was about.

He watched as everyone filed in and then glanced back, wondering when Less would arrive. Ah, here's one of the sponsors now.

"Good to see you, Marcus. We've got a pretty good turn out, I think. I'll be starting us off soon."

"Well, that was bracing," he laughed as he stepped to the podium and spoke out. "Let's just hope this is a temporary moistening of our feet, but if it gets worse we'll move this party outside. Now, I'd like to welcome all of you here tonight for our special assembly. Professor Lupa has been kind enough to allow us this unique experience to learn more about the werewolf and see that these people are just that. People with a problem which can be controlled and from whom we can learn quite a lot. So, without further ado, I'm going to turn this party over to Professors Lupa, Lawson, and Kazimeris who will be guiding us through the various aspects of the werewolf."

The headmaster smiled and then took his seat near the cage.

the water continued to rise...

It was coming faster and faster until it was a heart-stopping, terrifying toe-deep. All the students' little piggies were going to drown, drown, DROWN!

And it would be a squishy drowning indeed! Mwhahaaa!

Peeves adjusted the garden hose he had nicked from the groundskeeper's shed, turning the water up higher. Unable to help himself, he began to squirt random students from his perch in a window of the great hall.

"AEIIIEIIEEEEEEEE EEEEEEE MERBO BLURBO GURGLEY!" he screeched in his best fake-mermish impression. He cackled and snorted as he sprayed the students.

"AEEEEEEEEIEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! GLUB GLUB GLUB! EEEEEEEEEECHE WEEEEEEKIE WACHIEEEEEEEEE LOOKIE AT THE STUDENTS IN THE WAAAA-TER!" Peeves grinned, dancing a little jig as he sprayed them.

Kel frowned down at the water on the floor as he made his way to the third year table, where he recognized no one. Gah. Why did he only have a few friends that were his age? Not fair. But, he supposed, it probably didn't matter. He probably wouldn't be doing much talking, during the assembly, anyway.

With a small sigh he sat down at the third year's bench and waited for everything to start.

Ugh.

That better be werewolf slobber or an accidental Aguamenti from someone's wand. Maybe if she just ignored the water it'd just go away. Yup, she'd so just that...ignore the water. After all, it couldn't be Aornos anymore...right?

Soon enough, Anna was distracted from the stream of water by the sound of Vanessa Corbette's voice. "Oh, hey, Vannie. Cool assembly, huh?" she greeted. When Vannie questioned the water, a mock-oblivious expression took up residence on Anna's face. She would ignore that water...and it would just go away...right? "Water? I don't see any water...where?" Anna made a show of looking around for said water, her eyes flickering right to the stream as she spoke. Who was she kidding, though? There was water...a stream of it. Ugh. "Just...don't look at it. Maybe it'll go away..." She gave Vannie a matter-of-fact look and then glanced around the room in anticipation of the event.

Anna's eyes flickered towards the headmaster as he began speaking...acknowledging that water, of course. Tempoary moistening of our feet...yes, yes...that sounded good. The stream of water was just a temporary moistening of their feet. Yup.

It seemed things were getting underway then, so Anna settled into her seat and wait for her professors to take the stage. She hadn't had too many experiences with werewolves, so this would be a really nice treat.

"Ahhh!!" Startled by an even steadier stream of water, Anna immediately covered her head and tried to glance up at Peeves without putting her eyeballs right in the line of fire. She couldn't be mad at Peeves, though. She just couldn't. Dude, that was epic of him. She giggled lightly and gave him a huge smile. Now that was one poltergeist that had styyyyle.

Kevin sat up from his daydream and thought wow we are going to learn about werewolves and he was hoping that it was going to be fun he was willing to learn more abouts werewolves now that he was a bit curious about them in the first place from his readings in the library

Fallon grinned. This is going to be great. She was glad that she had decided to come. She thought werewolves were very interesting and had read a lot about them. Many of the books she read involved them. She sat and waited patiently (sorta) for the Professors to talk.

Victoria was worried about what would happen if the werewolf escaped and the first and second years are at the front.

Theo's eyes widened. He didn't want to learn about werewolves. He didn't like them. They were mean and hurt people. His daddy had told him to stay away from them. His thumb slowly made its way to his mouth. He wanted his daddy, and his Buzz. His only form of comfort was his thumb, which tasted a bit dirty but that would go with time.

"Awww, come on!" Hannah cried as a jet of water hit her thanks to Peeves. She eyed him angrily. "Cut us some slack here, Peeves!"

Oh right the werewolf thing! William had completely forgotten about the assembly, what with the battle and the merpeople and whatnot. Now that he had remembered his eyes widened and he blinked. He had heard rumors sure but Lupa was really a true werewolf? No wonder he had been nervous around her! Looking down he noticed the water, but didn't think anything of it. besides Arethusa had said nothing else would happen and he trusted her. Wow, trusting merpeople, he had learned something this term.

Back to the werewolf interview. Yup just ignore the water and Peeves. Yup yup yup.

"Yup...very cool assembly." Vanessa nodded, although she was slightly distraced by the water that was on the floor. She didn't want to be drowned. "Ooh...maybe that would work." She nodded, looking at the waters once more, before looking up. Yes. If she and Anna pretended the water wasn't there then it was sure to go away!
Ooh. and the headmaster was talking. Oooh. Werewolves. And Oh Professor Lupa was very brave.

But ack her TOOOES were wet. And who was mumbling all that garbage. "Peeves." And he had a hosepipe. Maybe they weren't flooding after all.
