So Ella hadn't made a graceful transition from the ground to the vine-turned-rope and she was currently clinging to said rope and praying she didn't fall. This was frightening, even if she wasn't actually going to fall to her death any minute. Or...no, no she wasn't going to fall to her death. She also wasn't making it across the ravine with this one vine swing, apparently. Nope. Now the Head Girl was out over the ravine just hanging on her transfigured vine, surrounded by other vines and feeling sort of like Tarzan. Well, Jane. She was more Jane but still. She wasn't cut out for this stuff.

Y'know what she needed now? Another vine. There were a bunch to choose from and Ella looked for the closest one to her, knowing she'd need to reach out and grab it. When she had a good candidate, she very carefully held out her wand and pointed it at the vine. Concentrating hard on the type of rope she wanted to create while still clinging on to the one she was on, she then said clearly, "Vinea Funiculus!"

When the vine had changed, Ella put her wand in her mouth and reached for it, pulling it as close to her as she could so she'd get a bit of a swing when she moved on to it fully. Then, after taking a weird deep breath considering where her wand was, she took hold of the new rope and when she was ready, let go of the one she'd been on. She let out a squeak as she swung through the air and willed her eyes to stay open so she could see the other side of the ground and know when to get off.

Merlin, this test was no joke.
