Skidding to a halt right at the ravine, Ella clutched at the stitch in her side and tried not to wibble about how much pain she was in. Sore legs were sore from running as she hadn't done that in quite a while and everything in her was telling her to sit down but she knew that if she did that, there would be no getting back up. She just needed to shake it out. No really, she literally shook her left leg a bit and then her right, trying to ease the pain a little and loosen them up a bit. Merlin, she really should have stretched before this. Seriously.
Once she'd caught her breath, the blonde glanced up at the vines hanging down over the ravine. The thought of having to use her upper-body strength to hold on to one of these things long enough to get across was laughable. She felt weak and even more so now that she'd run across the room but she really didn't have a choice if she wanted to pass. And so she bit her lip and tried her best to recall the spell she'd used to create a solid rope to swing on. It was... ...V-something. Vine...Vinea...Vinea Funiculus. Yeah, that was it.
Pointing her wand at the vine closest to where she was, the Head Girl did her best to concentrate on a strong rope and said clearly, "Vinea Funiculus!" Before her eyes, the vine twisted and formed into what appeared to be a thing but sturdy rope and Ella took a deep breath and reached out to grab it, careful not to fall. This thing was meant to support her weight?! Tug. Tug. Tuuuuuug.
It survived that so Ella was going to cross her fingers and hope for the best. Yeah...bravery really wasn't her thing, okay? Merlin.
