She nodded her head at the two older students. "I'm up for it too. Shall we go in?" Her eyes glanced at each of her housemates.

Willow was grateful the older boy had recasted the bubble head charm on her. She also smiled back at the other girl who thought her spell was a good idea. She raised her wand toward the crate and said "Wingardium Leviosa!" with the rest of the ravenclaw crew.

Mina nodded and aimed her wand at the crate, casting at the count of three with the rest of them. "CISTEM APERIO!"

All their teamwork was working so far, that was a good sign. Contracting on the top of the crate, she held her wand steady. Focus and contraction was all she had at the moment, but she had a good feeling about it and how her house worked together.

Jacob pointed at the crate with his wand. "Cistem Aperio!" he said. This was so going to work. Hooray for awesome teamwork. But His bubble head charm was shrinking, Jacob quickly swam up to the surface. He recast it and dove back under, to help again.

Simon looked at the Professor. five points but that unfair. Simon thought to himself, "I Will agree to that on a few condition." Simon said hoping the Professor wouldn't mind him challenging her, well he wasn't really challenging her, he was just making sure he knew where they stood. "I don't have to do any spells I don't think I can handle." Simon wanted the Professor to answer the questions he was saying. "And secondly, if I need any help can I come and ask you?"


OOC: I've done it this way not to challenge you Anna but it's bedtime for me also since it's 5am.

He wasn't happy about points being docked, but that was okay. Time to get to business.

"Okay, let's get started here, guys!"

He pointed his wand at his face. "Viseo Ebullio," he said while moving his wand in a counterclockwise direction. He next hopped into the water and swam over to the crate, going to hit it with Cistem Aperio like the other guy was doing.

Aiming his wand at the crate he says "cistem aperio" hovering near it underwater he waits for a reaction.

Hoping that the crate will open, let something free...anything!

Selena looked at Alex. "Hey, Alex, are you alright?" Selena asked softly. She felt like this was partially her fault... if Selena had not been there, Alex would've been in the tank and this wouldn't have happened.

Arya didn't think to much into the points loss, the professor did say the two could earn the points back. So long as they did, she didn't care though she prefered it didn't happen at all.

Glad to be going back under, she motioned her wand around her face. "Viseo Ebullio." Then she dove in behind the prefect and headed for a diffrent spot around the chest. She aimed her wand at the chest and waited for the group to cast.

Alex looked at Selena smiling slightly, "I'm fine Selena. Just angry, the Professor is coming over hear soon to talk to the prefect over there." Alex told her with a look that said just how much she didn't trust him. She hated him infact.

OOC: I have to make this short my mom wants on.

Dani nodded at her brother and followed. Pointing her wand at her face, "Viseo Ebullio." She swam to the crate and looked at Torin. With her fingure she counted down, then she hit the crate with the cistem aperio spell.

Teamwork, that was the key. Gold gave Xylon an approving nod, not even slowing down to reflect on how she had managed to talk to him for more than five minutes, without snapping at him or chucking a book or two at his head; as she raised her wand again.

"DEPRIMO!"

She put more force into the spell, this time round. If that were possible, given how much effort she had put into the one she had cast, only a second ago. "Keep going, guys! Keep hitting the spot we've chosen."

Swoooshhh. Powerful jets of wind blew out of the tip of her wand, to attempt to loosen up the lid.

"Viseo Ebullio!" as a bubble appeared around Dianna's head. She then swam looking for some crates.

Wow, this is cool. Rex patiently waits for his turn. Rex looks for a Gryffindor who has not have a chance to go in the water or Rex can go in thee water and the crate. "Anyone from Gryffindor need a partner" Rex asked them.

This task was made for Patroclus, he was basically a fish, and with the foul bungbomb stench gone, he was ready to literally dive right in!
"Viseo Ebullio!" the Bubble returned to his face, His casting was perfect, and the team need to encourgagment so he started to chant;
“Lets go Lions Let Go! Lets go Lions Lets Go!”
With a majestic dive, Patroclus plunged into the water, brandishing his wand, he swum down to the Crate, Carter Gold, and Xylon were all trying to pyre it open, but they still needed more fire power.
"I am ready to help", he cried, “Deprimo!” the tank shook with the shock waves of their combined spells.

Rex is a great swimmer. Rex goes in the water. "Viseo Ebullio!" Rex has a bubble at his face. " I am going to help pry open the crate ,too" Rex called out to the Gryffindors. Rex pointed his wand at the crate "Deprimo" with the utmost concetration.

Uhmm.. so now that she was in the tank, she needed to help get the Crate thing open right? With the bubble head charm still in tact, she glanced around the tank for her fellow Slythies, then swam below towards the Crate. Hmm. Now she needed a spell. Er - Reducto? Deprimo? There were quite a few choices actually. And it didn't really matter which one Ella used. As long as she tried. Here goes...

"Bombarda!" Ella raised her wand and pointed it directly towards the Crate. The spell shot out of her wand quickly and she waited in anticipation to see if it would make any impact on getting the lid open. All she needed was the other Slytherins to contribute then hopefully something would happen..

Abbi was right behind Carter eyes rounding with interest as he casted that spell, ohh Green ligtht and then and then. "Ohhhh" look at the bow, and yay more Gryffindors she grinned and watched their Head Boy take a grab at it, she went back to cling at the surface, she was TINY in comparison to the boys and as their team grew with numbers with GOLD and Xylon showing up too.

Well, her casting spell wasn't helpful so she clung to the rim and watched the older kids cast magic, if they ever needed her tiny size with anything she'd help, provided they casted the bubble for her.


Ohhh. Another small girl that looked around her age. "Hey I'm Abbi!" she smiled at the girl before the older Gryffindors grabbed her attention. Wow, she had no clue what spells they were casting, but that Crate was rocketing with all shades of crazy.

Herminny was so ready to get in on this she quickly took out her wand and said, "viseo ebullio", concentrating as hard as she could create aa nice big air bubble and surely enough thats just what happened. She smiles she as she jumped into the water which was cold and swimming was not so easy in robes but she managed. She swam straight down to the bottom using everything she had. Once deep enough to see the crate she saw her classmates who were giving it her all and said, "Hey guys", and then took out her wand and said, "histedius", concentrating all as hard as she could on the spell and directed the spell right for the bottom of the crate with a direct hit

Colette continued to cheer for her fellow Gryffindors as a whole lot more joined the original three in the tank. And then someone was yelling to her. It looked like a girl around her age which made Cole feel slightly more comfortable seeing that she was not the only first year here. "Hi!" she said as she waved back to the girl. "I'm Cole! Nice to meet you Abbi!" she shouted happily.

"Would you mind if we all tried a 'Finite Incantatem Maxima' all at once? I'll let you count down Torin, since some people have been offended when I do it......" he said, trying not to look at the kid that tried to form a coup. they were getting along, but Nymphy was scared that Simon challenging the Proessor would get them in even more trouble....... "Does that sound ok?" he asked the Huffie at large.

So much had been happening, directed mainly by a second year it seemed.Sarah could sense that people were getting a bit angsty, so she was relieved when Torin stepped in.Not that she wouldn't have done it, but you know, she was distracted asleep.They had managed to break open the chest with some cufflinks in, though so it was a start.Counteracted by the 5 point loss, but you couldn't have everything.

Stepping up to the tank, she peered inside.No she WOULDN'T be going in.It would not help them for her to drown, would it? However long her bubble spell could last, if she couldn't get to the top of the tank before it burst, she'd be a goner.One of these days she'd learn to swim.Instead she tapped on the tank to get the attention of the people inside. "I can't swim! What help can I be from out here? Other than to catch whatever comes out the crate, when you throw it at me?" Geez, she felt so pathetic.

Sarah couldn't swim? "Sarah...maybe we could like do a spell that would let you like be able to go into the tank without having to swim?" Because it would be cool for Sarah to have a go too. She looked down, she wanted a go, sort of.
Then some second year was speaking. "Ooh...that might work." She smiled at the younger student. "....we may aswell if it a go." Anyway because who knew it might work.

Rhea had been listening and watching as Nymphy continued his onslaught on the crate until Torin and the others finally started talking and taking charge. They were all working together again which was good, she was beginning to feel prunie being in the tank so long. She looked at her fingers. Maybe she should get out? Nah. Everyone seemed to have great ideas, but the crate just would yield.

"What is we positioned ourselves in front of the crate and all pointed our wands at the lock and tried the different spells at the same time instead of kind of just hitting it at random areas?" She suggested. She was still propped up at the top of the tank while others tried opening it, but she was feeling rested now and wanted to go at it again.

It may have a warped image through the walls of the tank, but it seemed to Patroclus that the other house, were gaining ground on the Gryffindors. And in the name of House honour they could not let that happen.
As a few more students floated down, Patroclus racked his brain for a strong charm, and he was pleased with that he came up with.
"Reducto! Reducto! Reducto!"
After all good things come in Three, he thought to himself as he shoot the spells in speedy succession.
