She looked around for something to pull Ivy out, but the trees were up ahead. And Violet was fairly certain that some of the Wizarding team must be close by--that spongey mud hadn't gotten there by itself. Glancing over her shoulder every once in a while, Violet skirted the edge of the mud, looking for the change in color where it became spongey, and came around to the other size to see if she could reach Ivy's arms with her own and pull her out.

Ivy tried to follow Violet's directions, but everything seemed to be conspiring to make it all very difficult.

Being stuck up to her knees in the soft mud wasn't great and made it a bit awkward trying to lean forward. It mostly resulted in her falling forward, bending her knees and sinking in up to about her waist. But she was laying flat on her stomach on top of the mud so...progress?

And then came the rain, which just made everything muddier. And THEN the ground was frozen. Which, sure, cleared up the mud problem a bit...except that she was definitely stuck in place now.

She was pretty much a sitting duck for Team Wizard now, and maybe she should just encourage Violet to leave her behind and go hide so she wouldn't get caught too.

But before she could, Professor Schmoe was ending the activity. And the spells.

Thank Merlin.

But did that mean...Team Muggle won? Had anyone been caught? Clambering out of the mud and looking over at the pen, Ivy didn't see anyone leaving that area so...that meant victory, yeah?

Go Team Muggle! Ha!

Anyway.

Um. She was covered in mud, and her plaited hair felt all gross and wet and even muddy on the ends. She couldn't wait for a shower. Only... Would they be taken there after the lesson? Or were they spiteful enough to force the Room kids to sleep as their muddy selves?

Rhetorical question. She knew the most likely answer to that.

Ivy gathered her things and retrieved her wand - though what was the point when she had to hand it back over again anyway? - then took her place among the group being escorted away.
