Post 9 It seemed that Bay was okay, so that was a huge relief. She hadn't wanted his back to go out because of her. She did not want to see him in pain, especially when she nor Sander wouldn't know what to do to help him. Smiling weakly, she slowly and awkwardly got to her feet. "I... think I'm okay. I'm not sure." For one thing her heart was still beating crazy fast, and she had that lingering feeling of terror inside her. Not nice at all; it made her feel sick. It was amazing she hadn't had a panic attack , but everything had happened way too fast for that. "Thank you so much for coming to get me, guys. It means a lot to me." And in her emotional state, she began to cry. They were such amazing friends to her, and she was so happy to have them in her life. They made her feel loved. Wiping her eyes, she listened to what Bay said next. He was asking her if she wanted to ride in one of their boats or do her own. She didn't really want to do any more magic right now, but this was her final and she did not want to skip this part of it. "I think I will try to do a boat myself... but I don't KNOW how to make mine bigger, I only know how to create one." Biting her lip, she thought even more. "Maybe I could turn a log into a boat or something..." Were there any logs around? She sure hoped so. |
Rescue Mission: Post 12 SPOILER!!: Lux Sander lay on the ground winded from the fall. He saw Bay land near him and tried to sit up and winced. His back hurt...Oh Merlin how did it hurt. But Sander tried to hide how he felt from the others. They had other things to worry about. One thing was for sure, Sander knew his back was going to be a delightful color of blue and black. Thank goodness for Essence of Dittany and the Bruise Healing Paste his mother had made him take with him during his Christmas break He had a feeling that he was going to be using both when he got back to the Common Room. Grimacing, he got to his feet and looked up ahead. "I believe that I saw a couple of logs near the swamp. I, myself used a partial broken off tree trunk I found lying near the edge of the swamp," Sander told Lux. "Let's get going. The others are waiting for us," Sander told both Bay and Lux and began making his way back to the swamp. His nose told him that it was near. |
Post 10 Wiping the last tears from her eyes, Lux listened to Sander. It seemed that he had thought along the same lines as her, and it also seemed that there were logs lying around. That was good, because it meant that she would be able to have a boat big enough to cross the swamp in. Swamps sounded gross, and she did not want to fall inside one, especially if it stank. At least she was starting to calm down more and wasn't shaky on her feet. Noticing that he seemed to be feeling a little sore, she frowned. "Is your back okay, Sander?" His harsh landing must have jarred it or something. Following after him, she hoped that Bay was coming along too, because she did not want him to be far behind. She wanted him near her. And what was that smell? The further she walked, the worse it got. Ewww, swamps smelt really nasty. Covering her nose with her hand, she looked about her as she went, eyes out for any logs that she could use. As the swamp came into view, she spotted one. Oh, how convenient that was. Now to remember the spell, which was a little hard after that ordeal she had gone through and the smell was not making things easier for her. Sigh. Think, Lux... you know what the spell is. Closing her eyes, she focused really hard, and after a few moments it came to her. That was the benefit of not being old; her memory was still intact. With a smile on her face, she tapped the log and said, "Lignum Navicula." As she watched, a boat was created before her eyes. "Look, I did it! Now I just need to make paddles." Errr....how did she make paddles again? |
Rescue Mission: Post 13 SPOILER!!: Lux "Let me worry about that, Lux," Sander patted Lux on her shoulder comfortingly. He looked down at the ground searching for a piece of stick. One strong and thick. He picked up a couple until finally settling on one. Placing it on the ground, he waved his wand over it, first moving it in a horizontal line and then followed by a loop, as if he was drawing the shape of a spoon in the air and said, "Ta-lea". Sander watched as the small stick began to stretch in length and width, one end of it becoming broader and flatter than the rest, until it became a paddle. "Here you go, Lux. Here's your paddle. Now get into the boat and I'll push you off. Bay, you push off first, so that you can be in front of Lux. I'll follow after Lux," Sander called out to the young Gryffindor. He watched as Bay got into his boat and pushed off, before getting behind Lux's boat and pushing it into the swamp. Then he got into his own boat, sat down and picked up his paddle. "Okay. I'm ready. It's time to start paddling everyone," Sander called out to both Bay and Lux. He couldn't wait to feel solid ground again. |
Post 11 Curiously, Lux watched as Sander made a paddle She was really glad she had someone who knew how to make one in order to help her. "Thank you, Sander." Smiling, she took the paddle and hopped into the boat as he instructed. Sander pushed her boat into the swamp after Bay, and she paddled along behind him. They were a great team, and she was happy that they were almost done this. She wanted to get to where her other classmates were. After a little while, she reached the other side of the swamp. She felt amazing as she climbed out of her boat. "We did it!" It would not have been possible for her without Bay and Sander's assistance. They really were truly amazing and she was so thankful to have them in her life. Eagerly, she made her way along to where everyone else was already gathered. She was done this course. |
Rescue Mission accomplished : Post 14 Even though his arms were aching and his lungs were burning, Sander paddled hard. He had only one goal right now and that was to get Lux safely back to the beach and join up with the rest of the class. So when he heard a crunch underneath his boat, he breathed a sigh of relief. That could only mean one thing. They had touched ground. Sander looked up ahead and could see both Bay and Lux getting out of their boats. Sander paddled until his boat beached up on the sand, and that's when he dropped his paddle and crawled out of the boat, his legs barely able to hold him up. He sat on the beach for a couple of minutes catching his breath. His arms were so sore that he knew he would have a difficult time even lifting up his backpack. But everyone was on the beach safe and sound and that's was all that mattered. |
